PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #3.A
SUBJECT/TITLE:

FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2023 OUTSIDE REQUESTS FOR CITY DONATIONS RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution approving and appropriating contributions to outside agencies for FY 2023.

BACKGROUND:

Each year, the City receives requests from outside agencies requesting donations from the City of Pismo Beach. These requests of City funds come from discretionary funds and are the same monies used for City operations. Staff consolidates these requests into one report and presents this information as part of the budget process.

Staff recommends that Council consider the fiscal year (FY) 2023 outside agency applications for funding and request that Council provide direction to staff on funding requests as part of a Resolution (Attachment 1).

FY 2023 Outside Agency Requests
This year, the City received requests from 20 outside agencies totaling $184,700. In the past five years, allocations have ranged from $79,100 to $116,700 (see Historical Funding List Attachment 2). In FY 2022, Council appropriated $110,700 for these requests, of which approximately $85,000 was supported by the General Fund unassigned fund balance, $15,000 from the Lodging Business Improvement District (LBID) Fund balance, and $10,700 from the Housing In Lieu Fee Fund balance.

Below is a summary list of this year’s requests from the various non-profit agencies pending Council’s review and approval. The table includes the agency’s name, the requested amount for FY 2023, the amount paid in FY 2022, a description of how the requested donation would be used, and benefit to the City. For more details of each agency’s request, please refer to the Letters from Outside Agencies (Attachments 3 and 4). Attachment 3 provides the request letters without detailed financial statements; Attachment 4, which is provided online only in the Access Pismo1 public records portal due to file size, also includes detailed financial statements. 1 Full URL:

Mr. Jim Lewis
City of Pismo Beach
760 Mattie Road
Pismo Beach, CA 93449
Mr. Lewis and Council,
I am writing to request your consideration of financial support for the work of the 5Cities Homeless Coalition in your upcoming budget deliberations. 5Cities Homeless Coalition is seeking your support of a grant for $25,000 to support our street outreach program and case management activities at the Coalition's service center.

The 5Cities Homeless Coalition, having recently celebrated our 11th year, is now seen as a lead organization in the region for addressing the breadth of challenges facing homeless and at -risk families.

The efforts of the 5Cities Homeless Coalition are focused on transforming lives, enhancing community awareness through volunteers, faith communities and media communications; expanding client services; and improving the homeless services delivery system in South County. Our strength is in mobilizing community resources, especially utilizing volunteers and in -kind services, and strengthening the network of services.

Our work goes beyond the immediate, to ensure that clients have the plan, skill sets, education and financial means to be successful and self-sufficient. We are proud to share that more than 90% of the households that we have helped to house (or prevented from eviction) remain in their home. Programs include coordinated assessment, information and referral, medical respite, benefits advocacy (SSI, Medicare, etc.), homeless youth mentoring, winter warming center, street outreach, rapid re -housing search and stabilization services and homeless prevention (including budget counseling and financial literacy), and direct financial assistance for immediate needs, rents and deposits. Additionally, in the Spring of 2022, 5Cities Homeless Coalition will pilot a non -congregate emergency shelter project, the first of its kind in San Luis Obispo County.

The Coalition works closely with local government, business, community agencies and organizations to assess current homeless services and opportunities for collaboration to provide for immediate needs and to maximize our efforts without duplication to cooperatively assist those in need. Although we have limited our walk-in hours due to COVID, 5CHC continues to be a "one -stop" for coordinated services. In 2021, we have received over 6,500 calls for assistance, assisted over 300 households to gain or retain permanent housing.

The Coalition recognizes the impact of homelessness not only to those who are displaced but the community as a whole. Our efforts are focused on preventing homelessness in addition to assisting those who have lost their homes. The cost of living here on the Central Coast for those "living on the edge" is extremely challenging. Housing in San Luis Obispo County has been deemed one of the least affordable and available in the country. Rents have continued to skyrocket, rising more quickly here than anywhere else in the state. The effect has been profound with increasing requests for homeless prevention and extended time spent homeless.

I'm sure you're well aware that this challenge has a direct effect on the City's goals of maintaining a vibrant tourist -based economy, which is dependent on service industry workers whose wages are not keeping up with housing cost increases. These are among the community members who are seeking our assistance almost daily, many of whom have experienced significant financial hardships due to the pandemic. Assisting these families in maintaining their housing will be extremely important, not only to alleviate the trauma experienced by the family, but also to help support and preserve the workforce that is vital to creating a vibrant tourist -based economy. Any effort to prevent homelessness, quickly resolve or mitigate its impacts can have an effect on the overall community well-being, in addition to the direct effect experienced by the family.

Council Agenda 8-16-2022 3.A-8

In the past year we have assisted 30 Pismo Beach households with case management and direct financial assistance to help them regain housing or prevent them from being turned out into the streets.

We are also currently registered as a local partner with the State administered COVID-19 Rent Relief Program and have assisted 6 Pismo Beach households in applying for this program. Additionally, our newly expanded street outreach team has connected with 64 unhoused individuals camping or living in their vehicle in the Pismo Beach area. These individuals are provided with access to the Coalition’s housing navigation services, as well as access and referrals for basic needs, health care, mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, benefit’s assistance, employment resources, and relocation assistance.

Last year the Coalition provided the following services in San Luis Obispo County, in addition to the warming center.
• 163 homeless families received deposit and/or rental assistance to regain housing • 136 families avoided eviction with assistance applying to the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief Program • 4 individuals were assisted with relocation to a stable living environment with family or friends, or to a substance abuse treatment program
• 554 households received coordinated assessment and funding for immediate needs • 32 clients received guidance and help applying for or receiving Social Security, Disability and MediCal benefits to which they are entitled
• 297 individuals living outside were connected to resources through outreach to local encampments • 60 homeless youth received case management with job, education and housing support o 19 of these youth were successfully housed through our youth pilot program that provided rapid re-housing, transitional housing, and host home options for youth.

Coalition staff sincerely appreciates the partnership we have with the City, through this request and your past support with the CDBG award and warming center. With support such as this, we are able to leverage other grants that require a local match, thus enabling us to maximize our community impact.

Attached please find our most recent audit for 2020. We are in the process of amending our fiscal year to July 1 – June 30, and will be conducting an 18-month audit in the coming months. We will gladly make the report available upon its completion. Additionally, I am attaching our most recent program report for the month of March to give you a snapshot of overall impact on our community.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Dear James,
Many thanks to you and the Pismo Beach City Council for your important and ongoing financial support provided to the local American Red Cross.

We respectfully request continued funding in the amount of $5,000. The purpose of the funding is to provide support for ongoing Red Cross services to be available 365 days a year to the residents and visitors of the City of Pismo Beach.

The American Red Cross began serving San Luis Obispo County as an official chapter of the Red Cross in 1917. We have a proud and long history of serving people throughout the county, including your City of Pismo Beach residents. The mission of the Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.

The work our small staff and dedicated volunteers do to achieve our mission is outlined below:
x Each year in San Luis Obispo County we assist individuals and families that are affected by fires, floods and other disasters that impact their ability to live in their homes. x We provide financial assistance, temporary housing through local hotels, counseling, and other key services in the first few critical days after the disaster. x We provide free preparedness education for children and adults throughout the County. x We train people in lifesaving skills like first-aid, CPR, and aquatics. x And, we interact with all branches of the armed services providing a variety of services including emergency reporting and communication between service members and their families.

Your contribution to the American Red Cross benefits the City and all residents of Pismo Beach by keeping them safe and ensuring their most basic needs are met in the event of a personal emergency or a large disaster. As a popular tourist destination, it is also important to know that in the event of Attachment 3
Council Agenda 8-16-2022 3.A-10

a hotel fire or a major disaster, of any kind, trained Red Cross volunteers will be there to aid Pismo Beach visitors along with the rest of your community members.

If the residents or visitors of the City of Pismo Beach need the Red Cross we will be there, thanks to your ongoing support. This is a significant benefit to Pismo Beach and aligns with your focus on safety in the city.

Thank you very much for your past support, and for considering this current request. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the Red Cross or specifically about our role in emergency situations for disasters both great and small.

With best regards,
Anne

As AmpSurf has grown exponentially in scope with the number of people we serve, we still remain a local nonprofit organization dependent on the generosity of individuals and organizations to make it all happen. It takes a substantial amount of equipment, materials, and monetary donations to carry out our vital mission and it’s virtually impossible to accomplish our goals without help from organizations such as the City of Pismo Beach. With your help we can change lives as well as honor our courageous Veterans, and First Responders for the sacrifices they have made! With the help of the City of Pismo Beach, last year, despite ongoing covid issues, AmpSurf was able to share the healing power of the ocean with over 684 people through our program here locally, this doesn’t include the 134 para surfing athletes we shared our program with here during the 2021 Pismo Beach ISA World Para Surfing Championships, hosted by AmpSurf. With the help of the city, we want to continue to promote our services throughout the community! We do this through the programs listed below.

Ɣ Adaptive Learn to Surf Clinics -We hold our introductory adaptive learn to surf clinics to allow those living with disabilities, Veterans and First responders to share the healing power of adaptive surf therapy and our beautiful ocean. These events not only give these participants a unique experience here on our beach, it also provides a great opportunity for local community members (surfers and non-surfers alike) to share in the healing with the participants.

Ɣ Operation Restoration –With our various partners around the country we bring Veterans from various regions of the country to experience outdoor activities in Pismo Beach including Surfing, Kayaking, Outrigger Canoeing, Stand-Up Paddleboarding and more. Many of those who attended in the past had never been to Pismo and were determined to bring their families back on vacations and holidays.

Council Agenda 8-16-2022 3.A-15

Ɣ VetSurf/Surf on Saturdays surf clinics at Addie Street – We have combined these two programs and we do them weekly at the Addie Street wall. The program is open to all Veterans, First Responders and those locally living with disabilities. It is a perfect opportunity for these participants to form camaraderie and acceptance with other locals living with similar conditions and to grow new relationships with each other and with volunteers in the community. We have certified instructors on hand for those new to and have been regular local surfers join us to give back to the community. Our goal in these sessions is to help our participants to become self-sufficient in the ocean. Besides surfing we teach them ocean safety, equipment maintenance and surf etiquette.

Ɣ 9/11 Memorial Paddle Out -A memorial paddle-out is a symbol of surf culture and a traditional surf tribute to the life and legacy of people who passed away” Every year we host the 9/11 Paddle-Out south of the Pismo Pier as an opportunity for local surfers to pay tribute to the Veterans, First Responders, and civilians to those who gave their lives in the 9/11 attack and since in serving our nation in the war on terror.

Ɣ Summer Surf Camp -Starting in June we are offering summer surf mentorship camps.

These are 1-week camps for children between the ages of 5 and 14. Our certified instructors will teach the children how to surf or if they can already surf help to hone their skills.

Between surf sessions we use local skills to teach the children about beach and ocean sustainability, marine life, surf etiquette, equipment maintenance, ocean safety. Our goal is to mentor the children and hopefully guide them to becoming responsible ocean users and surfers.

City of Pismo Beach
Attention: Julia Goodman
760 Mattie Road
Pismo Beach, CA 93449
Dear Ms. Goodman,
Thank you to the City of Pismo Beach for your support of the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County, Inc. (CAPSLO) programs and for the opportunity to be considered for funding during FY 22/23. CAPSLO is requesting $4,500 to provide homeless services to Pismo Beach residents through the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center.

1. Intent of use for the requested funds
CAPSLO has provided comprehensive homeless services to individuals and families since 1989. The 40 Prado Homeless Services Center, located in the City of San Luis Obispo, "sets a path" to end homelessness by assisting clients in stabilizing their lives so that they can increase their economic security and eventually obtain permanent and affordable housing. 40 Prado is a 100-bed overnight aggregate shelter which provides meals, overnight shelter, case management, onsite primary medical care, mental health and substance abuse services (SLO-HUB), services for veterans, recuperative care for those discharged from the hospital, early childhood education, mail/phone services, shower and laundry facilities, and companion animal kennels. For individuals who cannot or refuse to sleep indoors in the shelter (such as those who do not wish to kennel their pets or victims of prior sexual assault), 40 Prado offers a safe parking alternative on site, where individuals utilize other shelter services, but sleep overnight in their cars. Participants are assigned a Case Manager to assist with finding stable housing.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 40 Prado served 1,517 homeless individuals, including nearly one-third over age 65 annually. Costs of operating the center are ongoing and we anticipate the need to provide services will increase as the number of homeless individuals and those at -risk of homelessness rises with the local housing crisis. It is critical to maintain funding for current program costs and staffing in order to provide safe and stable services for potentially 1,500 individuals during FY 22/23. Funds will be used for program expenses of staff maintenance, utilities, building and equipment repair, breakfasts and dinners, laundry, and administrative costs.

2. How the requested funds will be used to benefit the City of Pismo Beach CAPSLO partners with 5Cities Homeless Coalition, whose focus is on southern SLO County, and the El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO) who focuses on northern SLO County, using the Coordinated Entry System to provide a system of screening, diversion, and case management services to homeless individuals and families throughout the county. 40 Prado receives participants from all over SLO County. Homeless individuals and families across the county are connected to benefits, medical and behavioral health care, community resources, available employment training and workforce programs, and other supportive services that promote long-term health and housing stability.

Council Agenda 8-16-2022 3.A-19

During the pandemic, 40 Prado was limited to half the intake capacity. 40 Prado served 508 individuals in 2021.

Twelve individuals with a last known or current address in Pismo Beach received services provided by 40 Prado. Requested funds will be used to directly provide homeless services for residents with a last known address located in Pismo Beach.

3. How the requested funds help achieve the Fiscal Year 2022 & 2023 City Goals 40 Prado achieves the City of Pismo Beach’s FY 22/23 goals of “Public Safety” and “Community Character and Quality of Life for Residents” by focusing on the safety of the homeless resident population and improving quality of life for those living on the streets. 40 Prado is the very definition of a “Safe Place.” It is shelter from the storm, no matter what that storm is. Those who are a paycheck short of making rent are welcome; a mother with three little ones who was just laid off is welcome; and so is a senior whose spouse recently died and they can no longer make it on their own. Clients who experience unexpected setbacks caused by illness, loss of a job, or other sudden circumstances beyond their control are considered qualified if they are also income-eligible.

However, most clients are very-low or no income (below 200% of the FPL).

To reach these individuals, a trusting relationship with outreach staff is used to help them utilize day services at 40 Prado, where they can be entered into the coordinated entry system, and receive behavioral health care, primary health care, counseling for substance use disorder and other wrap around services. Moving homeless individuals who are living on the streets and in encampments into the shelter at night or into the Safe Parking program benefits the entire Pismo Beach community and its thriving tourist industry.

Thank you for your consideration of this request for funding to help support homeless participants on the path to self-sufficiency.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth “Biz” Steinberg,
Chief Executive Officer

Attention: Julia Goodman

Pismo Beach, CA 93449
Dear Ms. Goodman,
Thank you to the City of Pismo Beach for its past support of the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County, Inc. (CAPSLO) programs, which enables our work in your community. CAPSLO is honored to have the opportunity to be considered for funding during FY 22/23. CAPSLO's Energy Services' Minor Home Repair Program is requesting $5,000 to provide home repair projects for low-income senior residents of Pismo Beach.

1. Intent of use for the requested funds
CAPSLO offers the Minor Home Repair Program, which provides assistance with basic home repairs for lower income residents in San Luis Obispo County. The program targets low-income individuals, seniors, and disabled residents who lack sufficient resources to have repairs completed in their home. When screening clients in need, several factors are considered including health and safety, disability, economic need, and age.

Home repair services include installation of safety devices, such as wheelchair ramps and lifts, grab bars, handrails, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, widening of entryways and hallways, and handheld showerheads, minor plumbing, carpentry, electrical, and drywall. Minor Home Repair is funded by the Area Agency on Aging (AAA), Community Development Block Grant funds and support from the City of Pismo Beach. AAA funding is limited and only available to seniors age 60 plus. Funding from the City of Pismo Beach will enable the Minor Home Repair Program to assist those who cannot be served by AAA funds and increases accessibility in the individual homes.

2. How the requested funds will be used to benefit the City of Pismo Beach Requested funds will be used to benefit the City of Pismo Beach by providing low-income residents with minor home repairs so they can stay in their homes, gain increased accessibility throughout their homes, and live independent lives. These enhancements improve quality of life and help seniors avoid living with their children or costly assisted living. In 2021, CAPSLO Energy Services provided 64 Pismo Beach households with Energy Services — 30 Pismo Beach households received assistance with their utility bills; 18 households received assistance with minor home repair. Energy Services also provided free weatherization services to 16 households with funding from other sources, which assists low-income residents with their energy costs.

3. How the requested funds help achieve the Fiscal Year 2022 & 2023 City Goals CAPSLO's Energy Services aligns with the City of Pismo Beach's FY 22/23 goals of "Public Safety" and "Community Character and Quality of Life for Residents" by directly making Pismo residents' homes up to safety code and more accessible. The Minor Home Repair program enables residents to remain independent and in their homes by constructing and installing handicapped access improvements; removing architectural barriers; and by bringing their homes up to health and safety standards and addressing building code Council Agenda 8-16-2022 3.A-21

violations. These improvements help maintain the longevity and quality of these homes and consequently, the local neighborhoods. Clients are interviewed to assess their needs and can be cross-referred to CAPSLO programs and other community resources. Priority is given to clients who are severely disabled, lower income, or who do not have other resources or family members to assist them. Repairs will be carried out by Energy staff who work under CAPSLO’s contractor’s license #623259.

Thank you for your consideration of this request for funding to provide these valuable Energy services in Pismo Beach.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth “Biz” Steinberg,
Chief Executive Officer

Attention: Julia Goodman
760 Mattie Road
Pismo Beach, CA 93449
Dear Ms. Goodman,
Thank you to the City of Pismo Beach for its past support of the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County's (CAPSLO) programs, which enables our work in your community. CAPSLO is honored to have the opportunity to be considered for funding during FY 22/23. CAPSLO's Center for Health and Prevention (The Center) is requesting $5,000 to provide free to low-cost family planning and reproductive health services to men, women, teens, and undocumented individuals living in Pismo Beach.

1. Intent of use for the requested funds
CAPSLO's The Center has been a provider of quality, caring, confidential reproductive health services for low- income, uninsured, marginalized and underserved members of our community for over 50 years. The Center has two locations, one in San Luis Obispo near Cal Poly, and one in Arroyo Grande that serves the Five Cities communities. Clinic hours are Monday through Friday, from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm (5:00 on Friday), with walk-ins welcome and same -day appointments available. No one is turned away for inability to pay. The clinic is ADA accessible and has bilingual/bicultural staff.

Funding for The Center will support the services offered in the Arroyo Grande clinic, including sexual health education, pregnancy testing and counseling, testing for cervical and testicular cancers, all contraceptive methods and emergency contraception (Plan B), testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV and Hepatitis C testing and referrals, menopausal services, pap smears, and treatment for abnormal pap tests.

For 26 years, the Teen Wellness Program has operated to promote healthy behaviors among teens in our community. Local teens (wellness providers) are hired to work as medical assistants in the clinic, providing teen -only hours and a teen -friendly atmosphere helps put patients at ease. Patients are encouraged to come with their friends and partners to ask questions, get tested, access contraception, and support each other. Teen Wellness Providers are offered youth development opportunities and career training: they participate in in- service training, team -building workshops.

2. How the requested funds will be used to benefit the City of Pismo Beach Requested funds will be used to benefit the City of Pismo Beach by providing comprehensive reproductive health services to residents. The Center is the only reproductive health clinic that is free of charge (the Public Health Department does not provide reproductive health services). For low-income people without health insurance, The Center's convenient location on Grand Avenue in Arroyo Grande provides easy access to available reproductive health care. No one is turned away for inability to pay.

Council Agenda 8-16-2022 3.A-23

Center revenue has decreased in the last two years due to the incapability to see large numbers during the pandemic and a decrease in Federal Title X family planning funds. During 2021, The Center clinics served 118 unduplicated clients (214 visits) from Pismo Beach. These numbers are considerably lower than pre-pandemic years (down from 146 clients and 268 in 2019), but we expect them to increase now that pandemic restrictions have eased.

3. How the requested funds help achieve the Fiscal Year 2022 & 2023 City Goals The services The Center provides coincide with the City of Pismo Beach’s FY 22/23 goals of “Public Safety” and “Community Character and Quality of Life for Residents” by providing low or no-cost preventative reproductive health and family planning services for Pismo Beach residents. Pregnancy and STI prevention saves local taxpayers’ dollars: the CDC reported that STI treatment alone amounts to over $16 billion in lifetime medical costs in 2018 (CDC, 2021). Effectively educating and providing contraception to teens reduces the number of unplanned pregnancies, births, STI’s and HIV. This gives teens the opportunity to continue their education, pursue a career or vocation, avoid social and economic costs associated with early childbearing, and decreases the number of children born into poverty. The estimated annual U.S. taxpayer savings of evidence-based teen pregnancy intervention is over $356 million (Thomas, 2012). Funding from the City of Pismo Beach will enable The Center in Arroyo Grande to provide sexual and reproductive health services to adult and teen residents of all genders who reside in Pismo Beach during FY 22/23. Funds will also ensure that low-income adults receive adequate health care. Clients are referred to partner service agencies for preventative and other health care needs.

Thank you for the consideration of this request for funding to provide vital health care services to residents of Pismo Beach.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth “Biz” Steinberg,
Chief Executive Officer

RE: ECOSLO's 2022 Fund Request
Dear City Council Members and Ms. Goodman:

Thank you to the City of Pismo Beach's continued support and funding of ECOSLO's annual SLO County Creeks to Coast Cleanup event each September. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in both 2020 and 2021, we pivoted this annual program to invite households to go out into their community with cleanup kits prepared by ECOSLO, to pick up trash and care for their local communities and natural environment. While the past two years were an extreme adjustment from the normal, large-scale Creeks to Coast Cleanup event, the cleanup kits were very successful in cleaning up SLO County, including the Pismo Beach and Shell Beach areas. In total, last September 842 ECOSLO volunteers collected 4,727 pounds of trash and recyclables, which included a total of 27,358 items being prevented from entering our waterways and ocean.

Creeks to Coast Cleanup: September 2021
Within Pismo Beach, there were 31 cleanups and 85 pounds of trash and recyclables that were picked up during the month of September and saved from entering the coastline along Pismo Beach.

Of the 1,339 items collected in Pismo Beach, 479 were cigarette butts, 243 were pieces of plastic (tiny trash that is less than 2.5 cm), and 138 were food wrappers (candy, chips, etc.). In a normal year, ECOSLO hosts four different sites throughout Pismo Beach. With the cleanup kits, however, participants were able to volunteer on their own time, throughout the month of September, which allowed 31 cleanups to take place, to clean up trash that was polluting their city.

Adopt -A -Spot: April through October 2021
As a result of the success from both 2020 and 2021 Creeks to Coast Cleanup events, ECOSLO started a temporary ongoing cleanup program, Adopt -A -Spot. This program began in the City of Pismo Beach in April 2021. We were able to start this program in Pismo Beach as a result of funding in 2020 and 2021 and needing to pivot our programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. This program focused on community members within Pismo Beach and Shell Beach areas to conduct their own, monthly cleanups with supplies provided by ECOSLO. After talking to city officials, the City of Pismo Council Agenda 8-16-2022 3.A-25

Beach and ECOSLO determined 12 specific sites within Pismo Beach and Shell Beach that were adopted by volunteers. These sites include the downtown core of Pismo Beach (from Harloe Avenue to Addie Street), Bello Street, Shell Beach Road, and the neighborhoods from Vista Del Mar Avenue to Palisade Avenue.

The results from those monthly cleanups are as follows:
●36 cleanups during this time period (April through August, as well as October) ●186 pounds of trash
●3,371 items picked up, including:
○1,339 cigarette butts (which was half of the trash picked up!) ○600 food wrappers (candy, chips, etc.)
○95 plastic/foam take-out containers
ECOSLO has witnessed the support and dedication that comes from our volunteers, and it is unmistakable that there is a deep commitment to protect our beautiful beaches and waterways here in SLO County, especially in Pismo Beach and Shell Beach. We are excited to continue our volunteer cleanup programs in Pismo and Shell Beach this year and see the community continue to come together to take care of their beautiful neighborhoods and natural environments.

PURPOSE
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as people are not able to eat inside restaurants and are enjoying meals more often in outside areas with to-go containers, there has been a major influx in trash polluting our lovely community. While Pismo Beach is a well-known tourist destination with pristine beaches and enticing restaurants, the city alone was hit hard by trash as a consequence of this pandemic.

Here at ECOSLO, we have noticed the increase in trash all across the county and we want to ask for your support to continue to protect the county, especially in Pismo Beach as we continue to protect and clean the natural areas surrounding us that are negatively impacted by trash. To be able to do this, we request $5,000 in funding from the City of Pismo Beach to host cleanup sites and provide cleanup kits to our community SLO County for Creeks to Coast 2022. This funding would help ECOSLO to put together a smaller set of 100 cleanup kits, and help us to re-launch and organize approximately 30 cleanup sites throughout the county on September 17, 2022.

Our community is committed to making a difference by coming together for volunteer cleanup events. At ECOSLO, we are empowering people to come together metaphorically to help put an end to the trash that is disrupting our enjoyment of natural areas. Both the cleanup kits and the group event cleanup in September will guide volunteers in SLO County to join together to protect the areas that mean the most to them, while becoming aware of the trash problem that continues to disrupt many cities.

For Creeks to Coast Cleanup 2022, each volunteer will receive:
●Cleanup materials such as gloves and bags
Attachment 3
Council Agenda 8-16-2022 3.A-26

Attachment 3
• Safety information related to what items they may find during a cleanup • Sustainability and recycling information to help households reduce waste and learn more about local recycling in SLO County
• Informational materials such as the top items typically picked up and how to track cleanup items volunteers find via the CleanSwell phone application and TIDES database • Offers and notes of thanks that our wonderful sponsoring cities and local businesses choose to provide as a token of gratitude to our amazing volunteers Please help ECOSLO continue to work with the community to clean this county so that people can enjoy the places they love without being overwhelmed by excessive trash. Your generous grant support will contribute in these ways:
• Allow ECOSLO to distribute cleanup kits to community members in September during the annual Creeks to Coast Cleanup (as part of International & California Coastal Cleanup Day). • Host and re -launch cleanup sites through SLO County on Saturday, September 17th, including at least four sites in Pismo Beach.
• Help ECOSLO engage with communities to encourage them to volunteer to clean up an area that is local and meaningful for them, and that enhances the community where they live and play.

ECOSLO has served as the environmental center for San Luis Obispo County since 1971. ECOSLO protects and preserves the natural environment and human well-being through advocacy, education, and action.

BENEFITS
To recognize the City of Pismo Beach's support, ECOSLO will list the City of Pismo Beach as a Whale Sponsor, our highest level of recognition. This would result in prominently displaying your logo on the cleanup kits, online and print advertising when possible, tagged in ECOSLO's social media posts for Creeks to Coast Cleanup, a "Thank You" in New Times, as well as your city's logo displayed on our website.

Since the beginning of COVID-19, the trash that has been seen throughout Pismo Beach is threatening the natural beauty and enchantment of downtown as well as the coastal areas. Most of the volunteers are local residents caring for their community, not only for themselves, but for the benefit of visitors. As seen with Creeks to Coast Cleanup this year, there are people in the community who want to help keep Pismo Beach clean, and ECOSLO can help empower them to do so. We can equip and empower volunteers to lead cleanups that will directly help the Pismo and Shell Beach communities, as well as the surrounding areas of SLO County.

RELATION TO CITY GOALS
Our cleanup work connects with three of the four vision statements as outlined by the Pismo Beach City Council, in relation to the City's goals for 2022 and 2023. Cleanup efforts ensure that there is a safe place provided for residents and visitors alike, to enjoy the beach, ocean, and general natural beauty of the coastline in Pismo Beach.

SLO County Creeks to Coast Cleanup helps maintain the small beach town character we enjoy in SLO County. Our cleanups help to enhance a vibrant tourist -based economy as the beach, downtown core, and surrounding neighborhoods are cleaned and well -cared for by its community.

Our cleanups also assist in the identified major city goals by helping to maintain a clean and safe public space for the community. The specific goals related to the cleanup are as follows:
• Water conservation: All cleanups sites will prevent trash from making its way into our waterways and ocean.
• Local coastal plan: By getting the community directly involved, it not only connects them deeper to their home and gets them more invested, but maintains cleanliness and care for the area as well.
• Downtown improvements: We guide community members to specific locations and assist in the preservation and appearance of one the most trafficked areas of the City of Pismo Beach, downtown and the beachfront.
• Mitigate the COVID-19 negative impacts: Through cleanups led by ECOSLO, as well as individual household cleanup kits, we empower our community of SLO County to help take care of their beloved areas from the trash influx that has occurred from the pandemic. This will also help people get out in a safe and healthy way to better the environment and the City of Pismo Beach.

Dear Julia,
We would like to express our gratitude for the City of Pismo Beach's ongoing support of the SLO Noor Foundation. The SLO Noor Foundation prioritizes the delivery of vital health and support services to a largely vulnerable and underserved patient population, with a mission to provide free medical, dental, and vision care services to uninsured adults in San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara Counties, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or immigration status. In 2022, the Foundation plans to further promote availability and access to health and support services, focusing primarily on low-income communities and low -wage workers in service and business sectors facing the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to 2021 US Census Bureau estimates, 40,000 residents in the Foundation's service area are uninsured, disproportionately affecting low-income, low -wage, migrant, and Hispanic populations. According to the CDC, these populations experience up to a twofold risk of chronic conditions such as type-2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia with lower rates of healthcare access and health literacy. In 2021, the Foundation's patient base reflected these findings: 89% were at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, 83% Spanish-speaking, 82% Hispanic, 66% female, and 42% employed. Furthermore, 60% of patients were diagnosed with one or more high -risk chronic conditions, including type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, part-time workers and workers in service and sales industries aro the least likely to bo insured, often unable to afford high insurance premiums and copays; in 2021, healthcare access was 30% lower within these industries compared to the overall workforce and health insurance enrollment was 38% lower.

In response to these findings, the SLO Noor Foundation has prioritized the continued support of vulnerable and underserved patients through the following programs: (1) dental restoration and rehabilitation services for low-income adults in experiencing severe oral health; (2) comprehensive vision exams, including eyeglass prescriptions and screenings for diabetic retinopathy; (3) in -clinic and virtual diagnostics and treatment designed to prevent and manage high -risk chronic conditions, and; (4) screenings for mental health and social background (ie: food security, housing status, employment, etc.) to gauge patient social needs for consideration in individualized treatment and community referrals.

Because the SLO Noor Foundation serves a hard -to -roach patient base and target population that often faces obstacles to healthcare, its programs aro meant to decrease the number of stops necessary to receive treatment and reduce the risk of hospitalization. SLO Noor Health Clinics work in tangent to provide medical, dental, vision, and specialty health and support services that serve as a safety -net for uninsured and underserved community members for the following purposes: (1) according to the CDC, 40% of adults have two or more chronic conditions, with even higher rates among low-income and hard -to -reach populations, requiring transdisciplinary healthcare to address symptoms and promote lifestyle changes, and; (2) failure to stabilize and monitor these conditions can result in a health emergency requiring a intensive hospital care and potentially life -threatening situations.

a week. As a result, SLO Noor Health Clinics saw 426 new patients in 2021 and increased 36% in clinical capacity from 2020, serving a total of 1,641 unique patients over 3,729 encounters and 14,597 diagnostics. Funding from the City of Pismo Beach has helped SLO Noor Health Clinics provide free comprehensive healthcare services to over 260 uninsured residents from Pismo Beach and the Five Cities area. Clinical records show that 518 laboratory diagnostic tests were provided to City residents, with 412 of those diagnostics delivered to patients with chronic conditions, including hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and prediabetes.

It is the SLO Noor Foundation's goal to continue and expand upon these vital health and support services in 2022, and in order to achieve this, the Foundation is requesting funding in the amount of $15,000, which will bo used to offset direct clinic expenses, including essential medical and dental supplies, laboratory and radiology diagnostics, personal protective equipment, and clinical support staff costs necessary to servo a projected 330 underserved and uninsured residents within Pismo Beach and the Five cities area, who will receive care over 780 encounters and 600 diagnostics. With the City's generous contribution, SLO Noor Health Clinics can help to address inequity in healthcare access and quality affecting low-income communities and low -wage workers within the restaurant, hospitality, and labor industries during a period of financial instability with increasing costs of living.

Thank you for the City of Pismo Beach's ongoing partnership with the SLO Noor Foundation and for future consideration of funding as the community adjusts to the evolving circumstances of the global health crisis. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Grants Manager, Rebecca Brogdon via phone at (805) 610-3085 or email at [email protected].

Pismo Beach, California 93449
Dear Julia Goodman and City of Pismo Beach City Council, People’s Self -Help Housing is pleased to submit this request for funding for Supportive Housing Program (SHP) services at our properties located in the City of Pismo Beach. Founded in 1970, the mission of PSHH is to build affordable homes with site-based services that offer opportunities to change lives and strengthen communities on the Central Coast of California. Since founding, our services have evolved from providing paths to homeownership for first-time homeowners to the provision of in-house, attentive property management, clinical social services, and education programming at each of the 53 affordable rental properties we have developed and compassionately maintain. Believing that housing alone does not create long-term stability and resiliency, PSHH is committed to improving health outcomes and access to opportunity for the over 5,600 residents who return home to our rental properties each day. Our board of directors meets every two months and is chaired by Shelly Higginbotham, former mayor of Pismo Beach. Funds will directly support clinical social services provided to residents of our Pismo Beach properties.

In over 51 years of service to Central Coast communities, PSHH has helped over 1,200 low-income working families attain the American Dream through “sweat equity”. With a portfolio of over 1,800 affordable rental units throughout our geographical footprint from Ventura to San Luis Obispo, PSHH provides a variety of free, onsite health and education programs designed to promote housing stability and long-term resiliency.

The Supportive Housing Program, for which we are respectfully requesting fundingin the amount of $5,000, provides clinical social services and case management to any of the64 residents of its Pismo Beach affordable housing properties. Services may include: preventive health screenings, nutrition assistance, critical medical transportation, behavioral health counseling, financial literacy coaching, and administrative support, such as assistance securing disability accommodations, medical equipment, or SSI benefits. Services are provided free of charge, barrier, or restriction to the residents we serve. Our service demographic is primarily low-income families, seniors, persons with disabilities, veterans, farmworkers, and those transitioning out of homelessness.

Once a resident or household initiates services, a clinical social worker is assigned to the household.

An initial intake meeting is scheduled, during which the social worker conducts a needs assessment and works with the resident to address immediate needs, secure all available community resources, and co-develop a personalized clinical case management plan designed to help the resident move toward personal resiliency. Services are confidential, optional, and language-inclusive, provided in English, Spanish or additional languages as needed. Residents are never placed on a waiting list, helping to keep those at risk of homelessness stably housed.

Council Agenda 8-16-2022 3.A-33

This request will support 26 households, and 64 residents, of Pismo Beach Bungalows and Sea Haven Apartments in Pismo Beach. Additionally, we anticipate that the second half of the grant period will include provision of services at PSHH's newest property, Pismo Terrace Apartments, developed in collaboration with 5 Cities Homeless Coalition, which is expected to open in fall 2023. Comprising 50 units, the property will be dedicated to housing transitional youth, as well as adults and families making the transition out of homelessness. As our housing for recently homeless residents typically serves those most vulnerable among our resident population, we anticipate high utilization of SHP services within the first 6 months of the property's opening.

Any of PSHH's Pismo Beach residents are eligible to receive services, and last year 25% of Pismo Beach households utilized SHP, receiving 129 hours of direct services and averaging 1.25 hours of face-to-face consultation per client. Clients received assistance in securing health insurance coverage and care, critical transportation, food assistance, counseling, medical equipment, legal assistance, personal finance coaching, homelessness prevention, and career access and placement services. Social workers continue to provide residents with regular wellness checks, assessing emerging needs and working to secure all available community resources and referrals at every stage to ensure residents remain on track to meeting personal health and resiliency goals.

PSHH property managers and clinical social workers are based onsite, enhancing responsiveness and efficiency in crisis situations by providing outreach. Social workers are typically also culturally representative of the residents they serve, establishing trust and cultivating long-term relationships with the household. This uniquely culturally -relevant and evidence -based practice has been shown to expedite referrals and interventive processes as residents are more inclined to accept assistance early in the timeline. Social workers are also trained in crisis response and trauma -informed frameworks, providing interim counseling services until referrals to partnering outside agencies are complete.

Households are certified as very -low-income at time of move -in, which typically means they earn 50% or less of Area Median Income, per HUD income limits. Most services are provided weekdays between 9 am and 6 pm. While hybrid and distance services are still available on an as -needed basis, programming has largely returned to in -person service provision.

This program addresses the City's vision and goals identified for FY2023 by providing safe and healthy housing and investing in Pismo Beach's neighborhoods. By providing quality supportive health services and preventing homelessness among City residents, the program preserves Pismo Beach's "Classic California" charm and ensures an exceptional quality of life for residents, while contributing to the environment that fosters Pismo Beach's character and economy. Thank you for your kind consideration of this request.

Shower the People (STP) is an all-volunteer mobile shower program that provides access to a free hot shower to the homeless in our community. We have provided just under 8,000 showers at our 4 shower sites since October 2018. The need for mobile showers for our communities homeless individuals remains great; in just the first quarter of this year STP has already provided 1,111 showers at our shower sites.

The goal of our program is to provide sites that are welcoming, safe, clean and reliable. We believe that an opportunity to take a shower gives homeless individuals the opportunity to be and feel clean, healthy and presentable. Our volunteers have seen the difference that a hot shower makes to an individual’s physical presence as well as to their overall outlook on life.

The cost of our shower program has grown as our customer base has grown. STP volunteers continue to use masks, gloves and strong disinfectant to combat the spread of disease. Every shower guest receives a 2oz bottle of hand disinfectant, a packet of biodegradable outdoor wipes, a new face mask, as well new boxers, a new t-shirt and socks, toothbrush/toothpaste and a comb. Our mobile unit and van are aging with use but are kept in great condition both inside and outside by our Operations Manager. And, to no surprise, our gas costs have now skyrocketed.

Our funding request to the City of Pismo Beach is for $7,500. This funding will allow us to continue our shower program for the homeless at our current busy sites in South County, and in San Luis Obispo.

Thank you,

RE: Outside Agency Funds Request for 2023

Dear Mr. Lewis and Council,
Thank you for the opportunity to be considered for support from the City of Pismo Beach.

The San Luis Obispo Wine Collective came to inception in 1997 with the specific purpose to improve business conditions of the grape growing and wine producing industry in our region. Since then, our mission has evolved to include establishing the San Luis Obispo Coast as a premier California wine region, committed to promoting our wines and vineyards among consumers, trade and media. To do so, we need to expand our reach by partnering with our local communities to create exciting, educational, and elevated coastal wine experiences for consumers. Our Collective is currently comprised of 38 wineries and growers who are all committed to this goal. Due to our limited size, we need support from partners like Pismo Beach to establish new events that will entice visitors to come and experience all we have to offer on the SLO Coast.

Our inaugural SLO Coast Wine Classic held on April 2, 2022, at Dinosaur Caves Park was a great success.

The costs associated with establishing a new event are higher than ever, but we believe it can grow into a new signature event and encourage visitation early in the year when winery and tourism traffic is at its slowest. The attendance for 2022 was 120 guests. We intend to double that for 2023 and include wine dinners and wine tastings with restaurant partners in Pismo Beach the weekend of the event to extend our reach over multiple days. The ADR for April 2nd was $250 a night. Historically, about 50% of attendees for our events are from outside the county. If we can double attendance in 2023, and expect attendees to stay two nights, it could provide 120 night stays for 2023.

The SLO Coast Wine Collective is requesting $26,000 from the City of Pismo Beach. The funding will go towards the hard costs of hosting the event including site fees, tenting, restrooms, shuttle services, and security. Assistance with these costs will support the growth of the event and help to create a new annual, elevated, coastal wine experience that our region has longed for. A contribution from Pismo Beach will give us the jumpstart we need to execute the event and expand our fundraising efforts for our organization.

We believe that the SLO Coast Wine Classic is consistent with the mission and interests of Pismo Beach, specifically to enhance a vibrant tourist-based economy, while becoming a world-renowned tourist destination. This mission aligns perfectly with our goals in establishing the SLO Coast as a premier California Wine region, while preserving the charming and down-to-earth character of our communities. The SLO Coast Wine Classic would be the first potentially annual wine event that our organization would be hosting in Pismo Beach and will encourage visitors to the SLO Coast AVA to stay in Pismo Beach and continue the “Wine and Waves” campaign that is already established.

Dear Ms. Goodman,

The SLO County Y is requesting $3,500 from the City of Pismo Beach to support our financial assistance fund for program scholarships. All funds will support low-income families attending YMCA programs, including day camps, sports, and before- and after-school programs.

Access to safe and affordable childcare continues to be a critical need for families during and after the pandemic. When enrolled in Y enrichment programs, working families can feel secure knowing that their child not only has a safe place to go, but that they are educated and supported. With a commitment to nurturing the potential of children and teens, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility, Y camps and after school programs ensure that every individual has access to the essentials needed to learn, grow and thrive.

In the past year, families from Pismo Beach participated in our after-school programs, summer camps, and sports programs. The Y provides a safe, thriving environment for young people to explore personal interests, build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills, discover the creativity and health benefits of the outdoors, and make lasting friendships and memories.

Children enrolled in our after-school program not only receive help with their schoolwork, but our skilled staff create curriculum in all programs that includes components of character development. As summer approaches, the Y continues to fill the childcare gap through our summer camp programs. The Y serves families across SLO County, with enhanced curriculum addressing the achievement gap, social emotional wellbeing, and healthy eating and physical activity.

The Y offers a variety of safe and fun sports camps and leagues, including Futsal, Basketball, and Roller Hockey. Additionally, Bitty Sports invites parent participation, emphasizing parent-child relationship building, along with basic sports play. Y sports programs not only focus on skills, but character development, and instilling the values of respect, trustworthiness, responsibility, fairness, and caring. Youth sports programs promote healthy development, encourage self-esteem and positive peer interaction, along with growing sportsmanship and teamwork.

Social Emotional wellness has been incorporated into our youth programs through the expertise of a dedicated mental health intern from Transitions-Mental Health Attachment 3

Association, working alongside Y staff. In a survey, parents responded that Y programs provided a positive social atmosphere, especially after the pandemic left many children in isolation.

The Y is committed to being an affordable, inclusive, and accessible option for all families. At the Y, no one is turned away for lack of ability to pay. Our program fees are affordable, and we provide assistance for those who have additional need. On average, eligible families receive 45% off of their program fees. For many families, that savings is $400-$500 per year, and no one is turned away for inability to pay. Foster families receive an automatic assistance of 50%, and some Y programs are offered for free, essentially providing 100% financial assistance to those enrolled.

Thank you to the City of Pismo Beach for your consideration.

FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR BUSINESS PO BOX 5416 San Luis Obispo, CA 93403 April XX, 2022
Outside Agency Funding Application for FY 2023
Purpose of the Request
On behalf of the SCORE San Luis Obispo Chapter, we wish to thank the city of Pismo Beach for your continuing support of our efforts in FY 2022. We are again seeking your support for a $2,000 grant that will be used to enhance the Pismo Beach economy by giving free services to business owners to start, run and grow a successful business.

We will be using your Economic Development funds in the following ways:
• Continue to provide free mentoring and workshops to businesses in Pismo Beach. In FY2021 we mentored 683 clients. Additionally, 760 clients attended live webinar workshops and 300 clients attended recorded webinars. Our total services last year were 1,743 clients. • Partner with the City, South County Chamber, and service organizations to create, market and deliver free workshops targeting existing Pismo Beach businesses. Subjects will include: How to Begin Your Business, How to Prepare a Business Plan, Business Model Canvas, Google productivity tools and workshops on all aspects of marketing. • We will continue our outreach campaign to minority and woman owed businesses. Historically these businesses have not had equal access to funding sources and educational opportunities.

In FY2021 59% of our clients were women, 44% were minorities and 9% were veterans. It is our goal to continue to reach those individuals and provide free mentoring, workshops and/or webinars.

Benefit to the City of Pismo Beach
Starting a new business can be often daunting. That is where Score can help. We never turn a client away. We differ from other organizations in that if a client has new business idea, no matter how early they are in the process, our Score mentors will listen and help. This includes helping a new business owner get a business license from the City of Pismo Beach to making sure new owners have the fundamental knowledge to start a business. Our mentors will help all businesses understand how to define their business concept, manage cashflow and market their business.

How the requested funds help achieve the Fiscal Year 2022 & 2023 City Goals

Score can help with your third goal “Enhance a vibrant tourist-based economy, while becoming a world- renowned tourist destination”. To meet this goal, existing business need to thrive and there needs to be new businesses with fresh new ideas.

When we meet with a client for the first time, we always assign two mentors. At their first meeting, the client and mentors engage in an interactive dialogue which begins with the mentors listening while the client describes their business idea or issue with their existing business. The mentors ask questions and together they determine a strategy. The first meeting usually lasts an hour, and we always try to set actions for the client to execute. At the end of the first meeting, we schedule a follow-on session.

Studies have found that if you meet with a client more than three times it can lead to greater client success. No matter how many times we meet with a client all meetings are free to the client.

Summary

Providing the highest quality mentoring has always been the hallmark of our chapter. We are committed to work closely with the City of Pismo Beach to support local businesses. As our motto states, Score will be there for the life of your business.

Respectively Submitted,

Horace Morana

RE: City of Pismo Beach - Outside Agency Funding Application for FY 2023

Per the City of Pismo Beach’s invitation, we are writing to formally request funding for 211SLO, which is managed by United Way of SLO County.

211 San Luis Obispo County is a free, 24-hour, multi-lingual and confidential service connecting local individuals and families to crucial information and services especially during times of crisis, like with the COVID-19 pandemic or the PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events. When someone dials 211, they reach knowledgeable, bilingual resource specialists with the tools to refer them to over 1,100 agencies and 2,400 active local health and human services programs. Resource Specialists help callers get the assistance they need, whether it’s updated COVID-19 information, vaccine appointments, housing support services, food support, connection to crisis counselors, or referrals for veteran’s programs. This service helps the Pismo Beach City Council meet its Fiscal Year 2023 Goal #2: Public Safety and Goal #4: Community Character and Quality of Life for Residents and helps to meets the City’s Vision of “Providing a safe place” for its residents and visitors.

In FY 2021, 211 SLO County received 7,633 calls, received 54 text messages and sent 815 referrals for resources via text messaging; and our online database, available to the public at 211slo.org, was visited by over 4,806 unique IP addresses. This is as many requests for referrals received in the prior COVID year, resulting in increased costs to provide quality service continuity. Overall, in 2020-2021, 211 SLO County provided 12,493 requests for referrals to critical health and human service resources in SLO County, an 8% increase over the previous year.

Approximately 28% of callers from known South County zip codes call 211. In 2020-2021, callers from the City of Pismo Beach requested referrals to vital services such as COVID-19 information, homeless shelters, housing, in home supportive services, mental health assistance, legal aid, food support, utility assistance, transportation and more.

One caller stated, "I’ve called 211 a few times before and what a valuable community resource. I am grateful I found out about it.” We find this same sentiment echoed across the majority of all users.

United Way of San Luis Obispo County has shifted our focus since the start of the pandemic to supporting local nonprofits who provide direct relief to those most vulnerable and impacted by the pandemic. In May 2020 began the work of foregrounding our work in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. We launched a new initiative aimed at bringing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion information and resources to our community and fighting structural inequality wherever we find it. Also, we have had to pivot in another way by, restructuring our in-person programs to fit within a virtual environment. This, of course, has presented us with a new set of challenges. In spite of the many challenges that continue, we remain committed to advancing our mission of safeguarding the future of our community by fighting for the health, financial stability and education of every person in SLO County.

We are grateful for this opportunity and respectfully request an increased grant award of $10,000 from the City of Pismo Beach for 211 SLO County for FY 2022- 2023. These funds will enable us to meet the on-going increased use of 211 and the increased cost of staffing due to the rise in minimum wage over the past few years. We sincerely appreciate your past and future support. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information.

Sincerely,
Rick London
Chief Executive Officer
