The city benefits from highly skilled personnel easily accessible through SHE's two office locations in Visalia and Madera. The staff, with a combined total of 40 years of experience, is proficient in conducting applicant and property eligibility analysis, loan processing, and construction management. Additionally, the bilingual capabilities of many of SHE's program and support staff in Spanish and English, along with interpreter services for other languages, ensure effective communication with program participants.

Beyond program execution, SHE has a robust background in grant writing, boasting 555 successful applications for CDBG, HOME, PLHA, and CalHOME housing rehabilitation, homebuyer programs, as well as public services and infrastructure projects across nine counties in the San Joaquin Valley. Currently administering 57 CDBG, HOME, PLHA, USDA, and CalHome funded Housing Rehabilitation, ADU, and/or Homebuyer Assistance programs, along with 19 CDBG CV Programs, SHE extends its fiscal expertise to communities in Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, Mariposa, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Tulare Counties.

SHE's staff demonstrates extensive knowledge of cost-effective management methods and has substantial experience with various financing programs, including BEGIN, CalHome, CDBG, HOME, Neighborhood Stabilization Program, HELP Program, USDA Housing Preservation Grants, CalHFA Financing, and more. The 371 CDBG, 180 HOME, 5 PLHA, and 85 CalHome funded programs administered by SHE have consistently met timelines and cost-efficiency standards set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Highlighting SHE's substantial construction experience, spanning from 1965 through December 2023, the organization has not only repaired and rehabilitated 6,913 homes but has also built 6,547 single-family homes, developed 2,641 multifamily units, and played a pivotal role in aiding community utility districts in providing 33,925 sewer and water connections throughout the Valley. This robust track record underscores SHE's commitment to impactful community development and its ability to meet the diverse needs of the City of Fresno.

3. Proposed Scope of Work
a. Briefly describe the needs this proposal addresses, and how existing resources are insufficient to meet this need:

The City's Owner-Occupied Rehab Program is specifically designed to preserve the integrity of decent, safe, and affordable housing for low to moderate-income homeowners in Fresno. This initiative acts as a crucial support system for homeowners experiencing financial constraints, offering essential assistance to address necessary repairs and align their homes with the City's Building Code and Housing Quality Standards. Going beyond individual property improvements, the Owner-Occupied Rehab Program significantly contributes to neighborhood revitalization and conducts targeted repairs on substandard units.

In the absence of this vital program, low-income homeowners would face limited options, potentially resorting to credit or applying for high-interest personal loans, resulting in considerable financial hardship. This situation would compel individuals to endure living conditions in unhealthy and unsafe housing, with the added risk of potential displacement from their homes. The Owner-Occupied Rehab Program serves as a protective measure against these challenges, providing indispensable resources to ensure improved living conditions and prevent severe financial burdens for vulnerable homeowners in Fresno.

d. Briefly describe the target population, how the project will meet the specific needs of the target population, and how the project will be marketed to the target population.

The target demographic consists of low-income residents in the City of Fresno.

Self-Help Enterprises staff will collaborate with homeowners and contractors to improve crucial building features, including roofing, windows, flooring, and property systems like plumbing, electrical, cooling, and security. These accessible home repair and rehabilitation services are offered to homeowners who meet income eligibility criteria and reside in owner-occupied, single-family residences within the city limits.

Marketing efforts will be strategically designed to reach the community, specifically single-family homeowners, and will be promoted in both English and Spanish. Various media channels, including flyers, brochures, door hangers, postcards, public service announcements, and social media, will be utilized.

Flyers and brochures will be distributed at local government buildings, public offices, and through mail, targeting community leaders, businesses, and organizations that serve individuals requiring special outreach. Advertisements and articles will be published in widely circulated newspapers within the community. The target audience for marketing will also encompass local community organizations, service agencies, colleges, and churches. e. How will program participants be identified, qualified, and prioritized in a way that addresses the greatest needs?
Home repair grants are accessible to all households meeting income eligibility criteria within the City of Fresno. While the program is not specifically targeted at Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RECAPs), applicants located in these areas will be given priority.

The Program Operator will manage a waiting list, where homeowners expressing interest will be placed. Homeowners on the waiting list have the opportunity to qualify for assistance based on priority, following a first-come, first-served basis.

Eligible homeowners will receive assistance in the order of their placement on the waiting list, with priority given to those who have not received assistance previously.
f. The City’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice recommends that the City prioritize investments in areas identified as Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RECAPs – see NOFA Handbook). Will this program be:

i. Detailed Narrative Description of Project/Program
Provide a detailed description of the program model, identifying any anticipated challenges or limitations, and strategy and plan for mitigating or overcoming the challenges. Limit the description to the following two pages.

Home repair grants are available to all income-eligible households within the City of Fresno. Although the program is not specifically directed to Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RECAP), priority will be accorded to applicants located in these areas. Self-Help Enterprises (SHE) will administer a Home Repair and Rehabilitation Program providing services to owner-occupants with incomes below 80% of the County median income, and whose properties are within the city limits. Grants may be combined to fulfill a homeowner's needs, ensuring location and income eligibility requirements are met, with a maximum total amount not exceeding $80,000.

Substantial Housing Rehabilitation grants, reaching up to $80,000, are available to income-eligible owner-occupants within the City of Fresno limits.

These grants aim to assist eligible homeowners requiring repairs or replacement of multiple home systems, influencing the household's health, safety, and overall well-being. To qualify, homeowners must be current with property taxes, possess sufficient equity to secure the necessary loan/grant amount, and maintain homeowner's insurance. Creditworthiness criteria are not mandatory. SHE anticipates completing a total of two (2) substantial rehabilitation projects at an estimated cost of about $80,000 per project for the 2024 funding year, if funded.

SHE also proposes to undertake thirteen (13) Home Repair projects, averaging $25,000 per project with 2024 funding. These repair activities include addressing major home features that deprive a homeowner of basic plumbing, electrical, cooling, or security, as well as aiding homeowners facing issues related to the enforcement of government codes, ordinances, or other requirements. Additionally, the identification and abatement of Lead-Based Paint in older single-family residential units (built before 1976) is part of the initiative to eliminate health and safety concerns associated with lead-based paint.

Repairs may encompass the replacement of damaged roofing, siding, windows, and other property features adversely affecting daily life.

Furthermore, repairs will target electrical and plumbing systems, sub-floor replacement, termite treatment, repair or replacement of doors and flooring, heating and cooling systems, and the installation of modifications for those experiencing mobility disabilities.

Detailed Narrative Description of Project/Program (Continued from previous page) Self-Help Enterprises (SHE) foresees several challenges and potential limitations in the implementation of the Home Repair and Housing Rehabilitation Program, along with strategic responses to address each concern:

1. Identification and Utilization of Effective Marketing Strategies: SHE will collaborate with the City of Fresno to craft a comprehensive marketing plan. This plan will leverage various platforms and venues to reach eligible households, specifically focusing on City of Fresno residents with protected characteristics. The marketing materials and strategies will be tailored to meet language and accessibility needs.

2. Applicants Without Homeowner’s Insurance: SHE recognizes that homeowners without a mortgage and limited financial means may lack homeowners’ insurance due to cost considerations and current condition of their home. SHE will actively work with applicants to secure reasonable homeowners’ insurance, developing budget solutions to facilitate coverage. In cases where a home's condition hinders insurance acquisition, SHE will coordinate necessary repairs to enable homeowners to obtain coverage.

3. Incomplete Applications and Eligibility Determinations: SHE acknowledges that some interested homeowners may struggle with the application process. To address this, SHE's loan processors will provide direct assistance to applicants, fostering understanding of requirements and steps. Deadlines will be in place to ensure timely completion, with termination for non-compliance. Terminated participants are advised of the option to return to the pool of interested persons at a later date.

4. Conflicts Between Homeowners and Contractors:SHE understands the potential for conflicts and has established a detailed process for contractor selection. This involves collaboration with homeowners in compiling a list of eligible contractors, inviting them to bid on projects, and conducting thorough inspections. A transparent bid process, including bid tours and homeowner involvement, ensures fairness. SHE aims to resolve potential conflicts by facilitating effective communication and relationship management.

5. Processing Delays Due to Timely Completion of Environmental Reviews: SHE acknowledges historical delays in environmental reviews, causing frustration for homeowners and increased administrative costs. While recognizing the limits in assuming the City's environmental responsibilities, SHE, being well-versed in HUD environmental reviews, aims to support the city. Recent improvements, such as outsourcing the historic review process, are noted. Continued open communication is emphasized to further assist the City in expediting the review and approval of Historic Preservation Reviews and final Environmental Review Reports.

While consistently managing an ongoing program with a waitlist, our commitment is to execute activities within an 18-month timeframe, facilitated by our established processes. It's worth noting that, prior to outsourcing to an external consultant, the timely approvals of environmental reviews remained a challenge, leading to project delays and increased workload. We are optimistic that the current process will further assist the City in ensuring a more efficient handling of the Historic Review process.

SELF-HELP ENTERPRISES

PROCUREMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
for Projects where required by the use of Federal Funds Revised April 2008
1 SELF-HELP ENTERPRISES
Procurement Policy and Procedures
Where required by the use of Federal Funds
The use of Federal Funds in financing may trigger specific purchase procedures. The procedures in this document ally to purchasing and contracting for supplies, equipment, construction, and other services acquired for Self-Help Enterprises or SHE-controlled projects where specifically required by the use of Federal financing. Funding requirements should be carefully reviewed to determine the applicability of specific procedures. For example, HUD HOME funds generally require use of specified procedures. However, these procedures do not apply in cases where the HOME project funds are CHDO funds awarded by the state HCD or by a participating jurisdiction.

SHE POLICY
The goal of the following procedures is to assure that:

1. Unnecessary or duplicative purchases are not made;

2. Favorable prices for goods and services are obtained without sacrificing needed quality;

3. Purchases are made on the basis of open and free competition whenever possible; and

4. National goals for equal employment, stimulation of small and minority-owned businesses, women's business enterprises and fair labor standards are encouraged.

Procurement procedures shall provide, to the maximum extent practical, open and free competition.

Solicitations shall clearly set forth all requirements that the bidder shall fulfill in order for the offer to be evaluated. In order to ensure objective contractor performance and to eliminate unfair competitive advantage, contractors are not allowed to develop or draft bid specifications, requirements, statements of work, invitations for bids and/or requests for proposals.

Awards shall be made to the bidder whose offer is responsive to the solicitation and is most advantageous to Self-Help Enterprises.

Any and all bids may be rejected when it is in Self-Help Enterprise’s best interest to do so.

Board of Directors, 1/84
Amended: 9/1990
Amended 7/2000
Amended 4/2007
2 PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES
The following procedures are provided as guidance where required by the use of Federal funds:

1. Effort should be made to avoid purchasing unnecessary, duplicative or ineligible items.

2. Where appropriate, an analysis should be made of lease versus purchase alternatives.

3. Solicitations for goods and services should contain the following:
a. A clear description of the technical requirements. In competitive procurements, such a description shall not contain items that could unduly restrict competition. b. Requirements which the bidder must fulfill and all other factors to be used in evaluating bids or proposals.
c. The specific features of "brand name or equal" descriptions that bidders are required to meet when such items are included in the solicitation.
d. To the extent practicable and economically feasible, preference for products and services that conserve natural resources and protect the environment and are energy efficient.

4. Whenever possible, efforts shall be made to utilize small businesses, minority-owned firms, women's business enterprises, and low- and very low-income persons in compliance with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act. To further this goal, the following steps should be followed:
a. To the fullest extent possible, ensure that small businesses, minority-owned firms, and women's business enterprises are used.
b. To encourage participation of small businesses, minority-owned firms, and women's business enterprises, make information on forthcoming opportunities available. c. For larger contracts, consider whether firms intend to subcontract with small businesses, minority-owned firms, and women's business enterprises. d. When a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually, encourage contracting with consortiums of small businesses, minority-owned firms and women's business enterprises.
e. Use the services of such organizations as the Small Business Administration and the Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency in the utilization of small businesses, minority- owned firms and women's business enterprises.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
No employee shall participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by Federal funds if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when the employee, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for an award. The employees of Self-Help Enterprises shall neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors, or parties to sub-agreements. However, it's acceptable if the financial interest is not substantial or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. This section applies during employee tenure and for one year thereafter.
3 TYPES OF PROCUREMENT METHODS
Small Purchase Method ($100,000 and under)

The procedures under this method are relatively simple and informal and do not typically involve competitive bidding.

Solicit verbal quotes from a minimum of three (3) qualified bidders. Award should be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

On purchases involving construction work, a set of contract specifications and plans should be developed to clearly describe the technical requirements of the project. Note that the DavisBacon provisions may be required for construction work to comply with Financing Agencies’ requirements.

Large Purchase Method (greater than $100,000)
An analysis of the project, the purchasing environment, and Self-Help Enterprises’ needs will determine the selection of one of the three methods below.

A. Competitive Sealed Bids (Formal Advertising)
Sealed bids are solicited through formal advertising. A firm, fixed-price contract is awarded to the responsible bidder whose offer conforms to all the material terms and conditions of the solicitation and is the lowest in price.

In order for sealed bidding to be feasible, the following conditions must be met:

1. Complete and adequate specifications or a description of the purchase must be provided to all prospective bidders;

2. Two (2) or more responsible vendors must be willing and able to effectively compete; and

3. The procurement must lend itself to a firm, fixed-price contract that allows the successful bidder to be selected based principally on price.

When sealed bids are used, the following apply:

1. Self-Help Enterprises must solicit bids from a sufficient number (two (2) or more) of qualified vendors prior to the date of the bid openings;

2. Self-Help Enterprises must formally advertise in newspapers, including minority newspapers. Such advertisements should clearly define the items or services so that the bidders can properly respond;

3. All bids must be opened publicly at the time and place stated; and

4. Reject any and all bids when documented reasons support such a decision. 4 B. Competitive Proposals Method
Competitive proposal procedures may only be used when price is not used as a selection factor.

By this method, competitor's qualifications are evaluated and the most qualified one is selected.

If the conditions for the use of sealed bids do not exist, then the competitive proposal method is acceptable. Under this process, a Request for Proposal (RFP) is publicized and proposals are requested from a number of qualified vendors. A fixed-price or cost reimbursable contract is awarded. If the competitive proposal process is used, the following steps need to be addressed:

1. Solicit proposals from a sufficient number of qualified vendors to permit reasonable competition;

2. Identify all significant evaluation factors in the RFP. Factors that should be included are as follows: A breakdown of tasks that details the scope of work and cost; a statement of qualifications, including references; a description of the applicant's organization; a cost proposal with an explanation of proposed billing and payment terms; and a proposed schedule of work;

3. Describe the mechanisms for technical evaluation of the proposals received, determinations of responsible vendors for the purpose of written or oral discussions, and selection for contract award;

4. Select a responsible bidder whose proposal will be the most advantageous to Self-Help Enterprises, considering price and other factors such as past record of performance.

Unsuccessful bidders should be notified immediately.

C. Sole or Single Source Procurement
Noncompetitive negotiation is allowed under certain conditions. This method may be used only when the award of a contract is infeasible under small purchase, sealed bids or competitive proposals and one of the following circumstances applies:

i. Detailed Narrative Description of Project
Describe the project in detail in the space below. Include any information about how the project has or will incorporate input from its anticipated beneficiaries.

Limit description to the space provided on this and the next page.

This project was initiated as part of a comprehensive approach to provide recreational activity and access to open space to the residents of the neighborhoods surrounding two existing and one new proposed park. Those parks included the new park at Broadway & Elizabeth, which is fully funded for construction through Measure P; San Pablo Park, which is owned by CalTrans and operated by the City through a joint use agreement; and Ted C. Wills, which has been operated by the City for many years as a community center offering Youth After School Programs, Adaptive Recreation programs for persons of all abilities, and a Senior Program including congregate meal service. Ted C. Wills is also home to a gymnasium, community rooms, and other amenities available for the general public. The site is used as a location for local elections, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, was a location utilized frequently for testing and vaccination services.

The Department initiated a design agreement with O'Dell Engineering to conduct outreach and prepare new master plans for each of these parks to address the whole needs of the community in 2022. In 2023, the Broadway & Elizabeth park was funded through construction; and Ted C. Wills & San Pablo Parks were funded through 90% design.

The Ted C. Wills improvements were necessitated by the end of a long-term lease agreement with Big Picture Academy, which previously operated a school on the site adjacent to Ted C. Wills. That 1.3-acre site reverted to City control in 2023, and Big Picture Academy removed all of their site improvements. The City intends to transform the now-vacant 1.3-acre site into a park which will complement the services offered at Ted C. Wills Community Center. The park will include a green space/open space area which can be used as a soccer field or to play other organized or neighborhood drop-in sports or activities, surrounded by a walking path lined with benches and decorative steel fencing. The northnern portion of the park will also include a dog park with accessibility features to allow wheelchair or mobility deviceassisted persons to move freely throughout the area with their pets.

The project included multiple rounds of community meetings, surveys, and communications, including both virtual meetings during the master planning phase and an on-site meeting at the Ted C. Wills Community Center. After each meeting, the plans were adapted based on feedback from the local residents and community members.

The project is currently designed to 90%. If awarded funding for construction, the Ted C. Wills project would be promptly bid for construction following PY24-25 Consolidated NOFA Part B

1. Project Summary Information – please complete the below summary information for the project/program.

Project Name (10 words or less): Wise & Well Program
Amount Requested: $ 89,650.00
To utilize CDBG funds for a public service, the service must be either a new service or a quantifiable increase in the level of an existing service.

This project is a:

New Project/Program
Existing Project/Program
Provide a short description of the proposed program/activity. (1 to 3 sentences and must fit in the provided space).

The Wise and Well Program by the ACTS Foundation enhances senior's grocery delivery service with wellness checks, recreational activities, social support, and assistance with non-medical supplies. By serving 120 low-income seniors, we aim to provide essential resources for healthier, more connected lives in our community..

PY24-25 Consolidated NOFA Part B
Application – Public and Community Services

If this is an existing project/program that has not received CDBG funding from the City previously, please briefly explain how CDBG funds will be used to increase the level of service.

Prior to receiving CDBG funds, the ACTS Foundation's senior delivery program currently offers grocery deliveries twice a month to low-income seniors. With the addition of CDBG funds, we plan to enhance the level of service by increasing the quality of connections with seniors. This will involve expanding the volunteer base to provide more personalized interactions, including wellness checks, assistance with Medicaid enrollment, provision of non-medical supplies, short walks, indoor exercises, and simply spending quality time with the seniors to listen and offer companionship. The CDBG funds will enable us to deepen the support and engagement we provide to seniors, addressing not just their physical needs but also their social and emotional well-being.

2. Organizational Capacity
a. Briefly describe how your organization’s prior activities have resulted in meaningful impact:

The ACTS Foundation has a proven track record of impactful activities, providing food, supplies, and education to underserved individuals. These initiatives have addressed immediate needs and fostered community development. To date, we have reached a total of 107,058 individuals and distributed an impressive 1.2 million pounds of groceries to those in need.
b. Describe the organization’s experience with administering federally funded programs of this nature.

Our organization has experience administering federal-funded programs, including the County of Fresno grant under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Our team is well-versed in grant tracking, reporting, and compliance measures to ensure effective utilization of funds.

PY24-25 Consolidated NOFA Part B
Application – Public and Community Services

c. For how many years has the organization administered activities of the type described in this application?
The ACTS Foundation has been administering activities similar to those described in this application for four years, demonstrating a strong commitment to supporting vulnerable populations and implementing successful programs to meet community needs.
d. Does the organization have the following in place (check box if ‘yes’)? Written policies and procedures for the proposed project or program (i.e., intake, eligibility)
Written Financial Management Policies and Procedures
Non-Discrimination / Equal Opportunity Policy
Conflict of Interest Policies and Procedures
Procurement Policies and Procedures
e. Please describe the cultural competency training staff will be required to complete during the term of this program.

The cultural competency training for Wise and Well staff should focus on understanding and respecting cultural diversity among the seniors they serve.

This training will include topics such as effective communication with people from different backgrounds, awareness of cultural norms and values, and sensitivity to various beliefs and practices. Staff will also learn strategies to promote inclusivity and provide culturally appropriate support to ensure all seniors feel respected and valued in the program.

3. Proposed Scope of Work
a. Briefly describe the needs this proposal addresses, and how existing resources are insufficient to meet this need:

PY24-25 Consolidated NOFA Part B
Application – Public and Community Services

The needs addressed by the Wise and Well proposal include enhancing social connection, providing wellness support, and assisting with healthcare-related tasks for low-income seniors. The current resources of the ACTS Foundation, which delivers groceries only twice a month, are insufficient to meet these needs comprehensively. By securing CDBG funds to reimburse mileage for volunteers, the proposal aims to increase volunteer participation. This would enable volunteers to offer in-home visits, wellness checks, assistance with tasks like Medicaid enrollment, provision of non-medical supplies including incontinence items, and engagement in activities such as walks and exercises. Through these additional resources, the Wise and Well proposal intends to bridge the gaps in existing services and offer comprehensive care and support to seniors in need.

PY24-25 Consolidated NOFA Part B
Application – Public and Community Services

b. Briefly describe the target population and how the project will meet the specific needs of the target population and how the project will be marketed to the target population.

The Wise and Well program targets low-income seniors needing social connection, wellness support, and healthcare assistance. It will provide in-home visits, wellness checks, assistance with Medicaid enrollment, non-medical supplies such as incontinence items, and engaging activities. Marketing efforts will include partnerships with community centers, senior living facilities, healthcare providers, promotional materials, information sessions, and social media to reach and inform the target population.
c. Describe consultation efforts made with the target population in the development of the proposed activity.

In the development of the Wise and Well program, consultation efforts were made with the target population through verbal consultations with seniors. Seniors were actively engaged to gather feedback on their needs, preferences, and challenges related to social connection, wellness, and healthcare support. d. Describe the marketing plan for the proposed activity and how the organization will ensure it reaches the target population.

The marketing plan for the Wise and Well program involves a multi-faceted approach to reach and engage the target population of low-income seniors. The key tactics include:

1. Partnerships: Collaborating with community centers, senior living facilities, and healthcare providers to reach seniors through trusted channels.

2. Promotional Materials: Creating visually appealing and informative brochures, flyers, and posters to raise awareness about the program.

3. Social Media: Leveraging social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to reach seniors online and share updates about the program.

PY24-25 Consolidated NOFA Part B
Application – Public and Community Services

4. Local Outreach: Conducting grassroots outreach efforts in neighborhoods with a high concentration of low-income seniors to directly engage and inform them about the program.
e. The City’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice recommends that the City prioritize investments in areas identified as Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RECAPs – see NOFA Handbook). Will this program be:

3. Proposed Scope of Work
a. Briefly describe the needs this proposal addresses, and how existing resources are insufficient to meet this need:

The recreation and education program proposal for the ACTS Foundation highlights a pressing financial shortfall, impeding crucial support components essential for its success. Insufficient funds are inhibiting the provision of vital resources like financial coaches, educational materials, rental fees for children's recreational activities, and necessary equipment. The current lack of financial backing restricts access to trained professionals for targeted financial coaching, key educational materials, funding for children's recreational activities, and suitable equipment for program implementation. Without adequate funding, these pivotal program elements would remain out of reach, compromising assistance for underprivileged families striving to enhance their financial well-being and enable enriching recreational opportunities for their children.

b. Briefly describe the target population and how the project will meet the specific needs of the target population and how the project will be marketed to the target population.

The target population for the recreational and education program at the ACTS Foundation comprises low-and-moderate-income families in need of support.

These families face financial challenges that hinder their access to educational resources and enriching recreational opportunities for their children.

To market the recreational and education program to the target population of lowincome families, consider the following strategies:

1. Community Outreach

2. Social Media Campaigns

3. Flyer Distribution

4. Word of Mouth
c. Describe consultation efforts made with the target population in the development of the proposed activity.

The ACTS Foundation has engaged in consultation efforts with the target group of families to gather feedback and insights on their needs for the proposed Recreation and Education program. This consultation process likely involved direct interactions with individuals during groceries distributions where they were asked about their specific needs and challenges.

The feedback from conversations with low-and moderate-income families has helped shape the Recreation and Education program. By involving them in the planning process, the ACTS Foundation can better cater the program to meet the specific needs and preferences.
d. Describe the marketing plan for the proposed activity and how the organization will ensure it reaches the target population.

The Hope of Haven proposal aims to address the immediate needs of nonhoused individuals by providing essential items such as clothing, shoes, hygiene kits, and blankets. Existing resources are insufficient to meet these needs as there are currently no provisions in place within the community or organization to supply these items to individuals in need. The Hope of Haven program seeks to bridge this gap and offer tangible support to those lacking basic necessities in order to promote their well-being and dignity.

PY24-25 Consolidated NOFA Part B
Application – Public and Community Services

b. Briefly describe the target population and how the project will meet the specific needs of the target population and how the project will be marketed to the target population.

The target population for the Hope of Haven program is non-housed individuals who are in need of essential items such as clothing, shoes, hygiene kits, and blankets. The project will meet the specific needs of this population by providing these essential items in a dignified and supportive manner, aiming to enhance their well-being and offer a sense of comfort.

The project will be marketed to the target population through outreach efforts in areas where non-housed individuals are known to frequent, such as shelters, community centers, and public spaces. Additionally, social service agencies, faithbased organizations, and word-of-mouth communication will be utilized to spread awareness about the program and its offerings. Flyers, posters, and social media platforms may also be used to promote the availability of the Hope of Haven program to the target population.
c. Describe consultation efforts made with the target population in the development of the proposed activity.

The ACTS Foundation has engaged in consultation efforts with the target group of non-housed individuals to gather feedback and insights on their needs for the proposed Hope of Haven program. This consultation process likely involved direct interactions with individuals during groceries distributions where they were asked about their specific needs and challenges.

The feedback from conversations with non-housed individuals has helped shape the Hope of Haven program. By involving them in the planning process, the ACTS Foundation can better cater the program to meet the specific needs and preferences.
d. Describe the marketing plan for the proposed activity and how the organization will ensure it reaches the target population.

PY24-25 Consolidated NOFA Part B
Application – Public and Community Services

Here are some key strategies that the organization may consider to ensure the program reaches its target audience:

1. Community Partnerships: Collaborate with local shelters, community centers, social service agencies, and faith-based organizations to promote the program and reach non-housed individuals who may benefit from its services. Partnering with these organizations can help expand the outreach efforts and increase visibility within the target population.

2. Outreach Efforts: Conduct targeted outreach efforts in areas where non-housed individuals are known to frequent, such as on the streets, in parks, and near meal distribution sites. Engage with individuals directly to inform them about the program and its offerings.

3. Promotional Materials: Develop and distribute promotional materials such as flyers, posters, and brochures that highlight the services provided by the Hope of Haven program. These materials can be distributed in strategic locations where the target population is likely to see them.

4. Digital Marketing: Utilize social media platforms to raise awareness about the program and engage with the community online. Share updates, success stories, and information about upcoming distributions to reach a wider audience and encourage participation.

5. Word of Mouth: Encourage individuals who have benefited from the program to share their positive experiences with others in the non-housed community. Word-ofmouth recommendations can be a powerful marketing tool in reaching individuals who may be hesitant to access services.

6. Feedback and Evaluation: By listening to the target population's needs and preferences, the organization can make informed decisions to effectively reach those it aims to serve.

Exhibit B: Budget Narrative
Please provide a brief narrative describing the expenses included in each category of the budget summary.

The Hope of Haven program is dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness in our community by providing essential resources and support. To ensure the success and sustainability of the program, expenses are allocated to various categories as follows:

1. Director Salary: The program relies on a dedicated Director who oversees the overall operations, strategic planning, and coordination of services. The Director's salary is essential to providing leadership, managing partnerships, and ensuring the program's effectiveness in meeting the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness.

2. Supplies: Hygiene kits are a crucial component of the program, providing individuals with basic necessities such as soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and personal hygiene items. These kits promote cleanliness, health, and self-care among program participants, contributing to their overall well-being and dignity.

3. Vouchers to Access Essential Items: Vouchers are distributed to program participants, allowing them to access essential items such as clothing, shoes, blankets, and other necessities from partnering with Mint Thrift. These vouchers empower individuals to choose items that meet their specific needs and preferences, promoting autonomy and dignity in the process.

4. Outreach: Outreach efforts are vital to reaching and engaging individuals experiencing homelessness who may not be aware of available services. Expenses related to outreach activities include transportation, communication tools, informational materials, and event coordination to connect with individuals in need, build trust, and facilitate access to the Hope of Haven program.

By strategically allocating resources to these categories, the Hope of Haven program aims to make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness, providing them with essential support, resources, and a pathway towards stability and self-sufficiency. Each expense category plays a critical role in the program's success, PY24-25 Consolidated NOFA Part B
