INVESTMENT FUND
Th
e Fiscal Year 2023/2024 grant application period is open from February 6, 2023 through March 17, 2023 (5:00 p.m.). The City is accepting applications from individuals, organizations, businesses, and community partners who are interested in enhancing our community.

If a
pproved, all grantees will be required to sign a funding agreement with the City. The agreement will require grantees to use the funds for the needs represented in their grant applications (with documentation requirements). The agreements will also contain minimum insurance requirements, statements related to the public purpose of the grant, and a provision requiring all unused f unds to be returned to the City.

Pl
ease note that a separate call for visual art grant proposals will happen outside of this process. If you are proposing a permanent public art project in Rancho Cordova, a separate application process will be used at that time. Please submit your interest t o our Art Interest List: https://www.cityofranchocordova.org/residents/community -enhancement-investment-fund/visual-artgrants.

OTC Enhancement Initiative
Project Synopsis In 50 words or less, please describe the project.

Th
e purpose of this initiative is to revive JROTC internal programs that were dormant or nonexistent for years. By developing cadets through leadership-based activities we reinforce science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) objectives. Additionally, the whole-person concept prompts our cadets to support community service endeavors through work with Adopt-The-Highway, Color Guard, and volunteer organizations.

2 Project Description Describe the project in detail and how it benefits the community based on the City’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund guidelines and selection criteria. If you need more room to answer the question, please attach a separate document to your application.

In 1993, Mather Field was selected for base realignment and closure. This unfortunate event devasted the local community with the loss of 7,600 jobs and $150 million in annual income. The city of Rancho Cordova bore the brunt of this devastation leaving a significant economic void, as well as a loss of military presence that once shined bright. As years progressed the city was able to rebound, however the military presence did not regenerate. Fortunately, our JROTC unit stepped into the empty space by providing military centric decorum. The unit has engaged in numerous civic events ranging from support of the local VFW to visiting elders in centers for adults. From the beginning, community service has been an integral part of the unit, however much of the success was tapered when the unit closed in 2020 due to personnel transfers and the emergence of COVID-19. Additionally, our fundraising efforts were slow, but we continuously make efforts to secure funding for equipment to support cadet-lead programs. The grant will allow our unit to gain lost ground by supporting numerous program shortfalls. It is our belief that the JROTC program offers young people valuable lessons in leadership, character-building, and citizenship affecting the community in a positive manner by serving as a catalyst for growth and prosperity.

Project Information
Project Name
Sacramento Splash | Youth Environmental Leadership Camp (YELC) Project Synopsis
YELC will engage youth in local environmental issues, where they will learn how to protect air, water, energy, and ecosystems from the impacts of climate change and from suburban development.

Project Description
The Youth Environmental Leadership Camp (YELC) is a program with two components: an immersive summer camp and a 5‐month mentoring and volunteering program. Campers will learn about the environmental career opportunities that are available to them and they will become directly involved in community enhancement efforts in their own neighborhoods. Splash is seeking fund ing for the 2024 camp portion of YELC. Youth will attend a 1‐week summer camp at the Splash Center in Mather. Each week will support 15 campers, with 60 campers total for the 4 weeks of camp. Campers will learn about water management, energy saving, pollution prevention, and watershed ec ology. This curriculum will be delivered through participation in daily field trips and field observation to nine different Sacramento area locations. Through this process, campers will learn about collection, measurement, analysis, drawing, documenting, and reporting findings. Eighteen different business partners or organizations will speak and facilitate the lessons at many locations acro ss the Sacramento Region. After the camp, Splash will meet with YELC campers monthly in a 2‐hour after‐school club for five months, through November 2023. During this time, campers will be required to participate in at least two volunteer events with identified partner organizations to deliver a positive impact within their community.  This will include events such as tree plantings, creek cleanups, and volunteer work with other nonprofit organizations. Campers are also going to be required to conduct a personal fundraising campaign for one of the organizations (not Splash) with a $40 minimum goal. It is our ho pe  that YELC will lay the foundation for an ongoing, youth‐led movement to conserve energy and protect air, water, and ecosystems from the impacts of urban life. The entirety of YELC programming is aligned with the following grant criteria: Children and Youth, Civic Engagement, Education, Community Pride, and Quality of Life.

Project Team
YELC is made possible by the staff of Sacramento Splash, who work tirelessly to make the camp an engaging and fun‐filled experience for all involved. Additionally, volunteer mentors will partner with small groups of campers to help them carry out their own volunteer opportunities (such as creek cleanup or tree planting events). YE LC would not be possible without the support of partner businesses and organizations that host campers for their field trips. YELC/Splash Staff: Mackenzie Wieser ‐ CEO/Director of Programming David Rosen ‐ Field Guide Becky Milstrey ‐ Program Manager YELC Volunteer Mentors: Khaim Morton Eugene Lee Brit Application #78

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter to express my appreciation for the Sacramento Splash program. I am a teacher in the Elk Grove Unified School District and have had the pleasure of teaching this program to my students. I can honestly say that in my 22 years of teaching, the Splash program was by far the BEST science curriculum I have had the pleasure to teach.

Never have I had students beg me to do science, but when I started teaching the Splash curriculum, students would ask when the next lesson and/or activity was coming up. If, for some reason, a Splash lesson wasn’t in my lesson plans, my students would get upset! That’s how engaged they were with the program and how much fun it was for them. The curriculum was a lifesaver for me as an educator because it was well organized, easy to use, and involved minimal prep work. After attending an in-depth training session at the Splash Education Center, I was aware of the components of each lesson and felt prepared to implement the program in my classroom. The training helped me understand the content that was being taught as well, which was helpful because beforehand, I had little knowledge about our watershed or local vernal pools.

Once I began teaching the Splash lessons, I saw how meaningful and memorable the curriculum was for students. This program fosters a sense of exploration and curiosity. From growing fairy shrimp, to researching critters and flowers, to making critter and flower commercials, my students were thoroughly engaged and excited about all the activities. Their very favorite part, though, was the field trip to the vernal pools. To see their faces light up when they found their real, live critters and flowers was priceless. I also had several students remark after the trip that they had never spent a full day outside in nature before. What a revelation that was for me! The program also encourages diversity because all students are included in every lesson and activity.

In the past few years because of Covid, I’ve seen many students who have struggled with their emotional and mental wellbeing. I believe that spending time in nature and learning about the local environment can be very healing for students. I remember how happy my students were that day at the vernal pools, and how relaxed they seemed. At the end of the school year, the students reflected on their best memories, and an overwhelming number of them said the Splash program and field trip was the best part of their year.

I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the Splash program is and how grateful I am that I am able to use it in my classroom. I have helped other teachers at my school site begin implementing the curriculum in their classrooms as well, which I feel honored to do. To borrow from Splash’s mission statement, this program really does “help children understand and value our natural world.”

Caroline Goodnight

Certified Sustainable
Project Synopsis
Business sustainability planning for nonprofit organizations; ensuring that mission‐focused community based organizations can fulfill their mission and prove the impact of their work.

Project Description
Four pillars of focus: Revenue Structure, Operational Infrastructure, Community Engagement, and Governance. In a combination of class training, small group and individual technical assistance, participating orgs complete a multi‐year sustainability plan. This plan guides their growth, helps them attract new forms of financial support, and strengthens their Board governance. Certified Sustainable is a research‐base
d, proven training program with over 100 graduate organizations in the greater Sacramento region.

Program participants learn to run good mission businesses, collaborate more in their local community, strengthen staff leadership, and more fully engage Board members and the broader community in their work. With rigor and strong support from Impact Foun
dry, participating organizations achieve sustainability and contribute more as local employers. They serve more people, change more lives, and provide more value toward the social determinants of health. Certified Sustainable consists of 4 months of training in the key topic areas, followed by 4 months of technical assistance an d support. To graduate, participating orgs write a multi‐year sustainability plan and are helped to implement the plan. Each nonprofit organization in the program receives more than 24 hours of classroom training, 100 hours of individualized support, and 10 hours of Board training. In addition, they're engaged in networking and peer lear

h will prove the ways they increase capacity of Rancho Cordova residents to fully participate in the local economy. Graduates of Certified Sustainable will be more efficient in their use of resources, and more expansive in their ability to attract financial and in‐ kind support of their missions. The gradua ting organizations will be better partners to local government agencies, local businesses, and local investments made in their work. By building the capacity of our nonprofit sector, we build the capacity of our most vulnerable neighbors to live a more healthy life, reducing public costs and increasing the tax base of the communit y. A strong nonprofit sector will lead to a better educated workforce, more people fully participating in the local economy, making less use of public assistance and contributing more to Rancho Cordova's growth. An investment in nonprofits serving the diversity of Rancho Cordova will bring more equity into vulnerable neigh borhoods and more hope for family resiliency. Certified Sustainable organizations run better as businesses, and engage their Board leaders more effectively, as well.

Strengthening Families
Project Synopsis
Strengthening Families is a SAMHSA‐approved program that offers evidence‐based strategies for enhancing family relationships, improving communication, and reducing risk factors that contribute to ment Project Description
Over the past ten years, the Strengthening Families program (SFP) has supported over 200 Folsom Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) families. Each school year, FCUSD offers one SFP session in Rancho Cordova, CA and one SFP session in Folsom, CA through a privately funded grant. The social‐emotional impact of COVID‐19 is evident in our school  community and there has been increased interest from Rancho Cordova families to join the program. Unfortunately there are wait lists to join the sessions, and families report difficulties attending sessions. This project aims to expand the number of sessions of the Strengthening Families Program (SFP) adding multi
ple locations in Rancho Cordova so more families can access this program. The Strengthening Families program is delivered through a series (10‐14) of 2‐hour workshops or sessions that are facilitated by trained professionals and/or volunteers.

This program can support children ages 6‐11, and children ages 12‐16 in higher risk famil ies‐ along with parents/guardians. For children younger than six, childcare services are available. These sessions are preceded by a meal that includes informal family practice time and group leader coaching. SEE ATTACHED

Project Goals
Goal 1:The primary goal of the program is to build stronger family bonds by enhancing family relationships, communication skills, and conflict resolution abilities. This can lead to more stable and supportive family environments, which could improve children’s emotional well‐being, school attendance, academic performance, and social skills. This can be done by hosting sever al SFP sessions per school year throughout the Rancho Cordova Schools within FCUSD: Cordova Meadows, Mitchell Middle School, Mills Middle School, and Cordova High School. In the past, this program was offered one time per school year in Rancho Cordova and one time per school year in Folsom. Historically we have had families on the waitl ist to participate in SFP, we are requesting Measure H funds Application #80

2 Project Description Describe the project in detail and how it benefits the community based on the City’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund guidelines and selection criteria. If you need more room to answer the question, please attach a separate document to your application.

Over the past ten years, the Strengthening Families program (SFP) has supported over 200 Folsom Cordova Unified School Distr ict (FCUSD) families. Each school year, FCUSD offers one SFP session in Rancho Cordova, CA and one SFP session in Folsom, C A through a privately funded grant.

Th
e social-emotional impact of COVID-19 is evident in our school community and there has been increased interest from Rancho Cordova families to join the program. Unfortunately there are wait lists to join the sessions, and families report difficulties at tending sessions. This project aims to expand the number of sessions of the Strengthening Families Program (SFP) adding multiple lo cations in Rancho Cordova so more families can access this program.

Th
e Strengthening Families program is delivered through a series (10-14) of 2-hour workshops or sessions that are facilitated by trained professionals and/or volunteers. This program can support children ages 6 -11, and children ages 12- 16 in higher risk families - along with parents/guardians. For children younger than six, childcare services are available. These sessions are preceded by a meal that includes informal family practice time and group leader coaching.

The program is designed to be interactive and collaborative, with participants encouraged to share their experiences and provide feedback to each other. The program typically consists of a set of core modules, which cover key topics such as communication, conflict resolution, parenting skills, and relationship building.

In addition to these core m odules, the program may also include supplemental materials and resources, such as videos, handbooks, and worksheets. Sessions may be delivered in a group in- person format or virtual depending on the needs and preferences of the participants. SFP meets the US federal agencies’ standards for evidence-based prevention programs, and is culturally sensitive rather than culturally specific. Per session, there is a maximum capacity of 20 families or 80 participants.

The Strengthening Families program (SFP) can benefit the Rancho Cordova City’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund (CEIF) guidelines through the following selection guidelines: Quality of Life, Public Safety, Children and Youth, and Education.

1. Alignment with CEIF focus areas: Quality of life- SPF promotes healthy families and children, improving community safety and security, and enhancing quality of life in the community.

2. Evidence -based approach: SFP is evidence -based and has been shown to be effective in improving family relationships, reducing risky behaviors among youth, and improving child well -being. This aligns with the CEIF’s emphasis on supporting programs that are evidence-based and have measurable outcomes.

3. Collaborative approach: SFP emphasizes a collaborative approach between families, service providers, and community organizations. This aligns with the CEIF’s focus on promoting collaboration among community stakeholders to address community needs.

4. Sustainability: SFP emphasizes sus tainability by building strong local partnerships and leveraging community resources. This aligns with the CEIF focus on supporting programs that are sustainable over the long -term. In partnership with FCUSD, and regional prevention services, the SFP program can be delivered sustainably.

Overall, the Strengthening Families program can be a valuable asset to the CEIF’s efforts to enhance the well -being and quality of life for the residents of Rancho Cordova, CA. If anyone is interested in attending the program to see it in action, we can make arrangements to support that. Please contact Amanda Turkes.

rtnerships: Delta Prevention and the Miller Family Foundation ○ Cordova Church of Christ- has housed SFP for 8+ years (has a large commercial kitchen). In the past, the program has also been held at the Rancho Cordova Neighborhood Church.

Project Goals List goals, and outline metrics by which progress in reaching goals can be measured and the project team’s efforts can be focused.
● Go
al 1:The primary goal of the program is to build stronger family bonds by enhancing family relationships, communication skills, and conflict resolution abilities. This can lead to more stable and supportive family environments, which could improve children’s emotional well -being, school attendance, academic performance, and social skills. This can be done by hosting several SFP sessions per school year throughout the Rancho Cordova Schools within FCUSD: Cordova Meadows, Mitchell Middle School, Mills Middle School, and Cordova High School. In the past, this program was offered one time per school year in Rancho Cordova and one time per school year in Folsom. Historically we have had families on the waitlist to participate in SFP, we are requesting Measure H funds to accomplish expansion of the program in Rancho Cordova. ● Go
al 2: Preventing risky behavior: By educating parents and youth about the consequence of risky behaviors such as substance abuse, and delinquency, Strengthening Families Program aims to prevent or reduce such behaviors among adolescents. This could result in lower juvenile crime rates, fewer students marked as chronically absent from public education, and a healthier community overall.
● Go
al 3: Reduce stress and increase resilience. The program addresses family stressors and provides families with tools to manage stress and build resilience. To reduce home stressors, SFP program facilitators, along with FCUSD service providers work with families to reduce access barriers to physical and mental health services and make referrals as appropriate. ● Goal 4: Promoting community engagement: SFP encourages families to get involved in the community events and activities, which can promote a sense of belonging and civic cohesion, which could ultimately translate into a higher quality of life for all residents.

Measurable outcomes: increased school attendance rates of participating families, Improved academic performance indicators,an d social-emotional survey responses (Panorama). A record of attendance rates, and measurable outcomes will be collected and shared with the community.

22 Program testimonials:
“This program gave us new tools to cope with difficult situations” “This has given us new skills and tools to use at home. Communication is key and now we now have better goals, and a better reward system in place”
“With parenting, we are not aligned in our strategies and goals” “Our coach was wonderful! So friendly and engaging. We appreciate her stories, liveliness, and genuine care. All the coaches were so kind and supportive. Thank you for this experience! It was informative and supportive to our goals”
Te
stimonial from a SFP facilitator:
“I ha
d the most rewarding experience as a facilitator at the end of our last Spring section of our Virtual- Spanish SFP. Mrs. Laura Pulido attended our program and the last day of our class she gave a very heart- felt testimony of the difference the program made in her and her family. She shared that before the program she and her husband were considering getting divorced and that they were at a point where there was no communication between them. The situation was so tense at home that it was affecting the kids and the family as a whole. Because of the SFP, Mrs. Pulido and her husband were able to communicate better and they started working things out. They were giving themselves a chance to save their relationship and they started noticing a change in their kids' behavior. She said that the kids were doing better in school and making an effort to improve. For me, personally, this was not only a rewarding experience, but confirmation that the program works as long as we make the effort to apply it and are willing to make some changes.”

Garden’s TV STEAM Initiative (Mobile TV studio)
Project Synopsis In 50 words or less, please describe the project.

Our
vision at Cordova Gardens Elementary School is to empower each student, academically, emotionally and socially through STEAM integration in order to prepare students to become lifelong learners in a dynamically changing world. This effort will be accomplished through a collaborative data driven approach to ensure that students have purposeful learning opportunities, so that they develop critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication skills.

Garden’s staff will work with a group of students to produce videos for a number of different purposes etc. Students would be working during class and after school. We envision that there will be enough work that students would be working on media related tasks on a daily basis, during school and after. Some of the work, however, would be done on a monthly basis, but daily vide o production work would occur up until the needed media is finalized. We would purchase mac products as they have integrated video editing software that we can use to edit videos etc.

Fitrah Youth Workforce Development
Project Synopsis
Fitrah empowers vulnerable youth aged 16‐25 in Sacramento County by promoting stability, independence, self‐sufficiency, social solidarity, and community engagement.

Project Description
Fitrah serves historically underrepresented communities in Sacramento County, providing resources to prevent vulnerable youth from falling through the cracks. The social enterprise's main project is an online thrift bookstore run and managed by vulnerable youth, empowering them financially and professionally. The project engages youth in their own solution and uses the proceeds to support them financially. Fitra
h's Job For Youth project places 32 youth in income‐generating e‐commerce jobs while providing financial literacy training and 10 weeks of life skill coaching to build their confidence, decision‐making, strategic thinking, stress management, and goal‐setting skills for future education and employment opportunities. Fitrah's projec t not only empowers vulnerable youth but also fosters community engagement and social solidarity by connecting residents, local youths, and businesses with volunteer opportunities like book drives and donations. 70% of volunteers are youth aged 12‐20 from local schools in Folsom‐ Cordova, and 3 out of 7 donation drop‐off locations are in Ran cho Cordova provided by community members. During the first four weeks of Fitrah's six‐month program, youth gain work experience at the social enterprise and receive a stipend, teamwork, feedback, and leadership opportunities. After four weeks, structured workshops and individualized case management teach financial capability, healthy relationship s, goal setting and help youth achieve career milestones like acquiring an ID, setting up a bank account, learning about credit, crafting a resume, touring colleges, and getting job interviews and internships with the support of youth organizations such as Pro‐Youth and Improve Your Tomorrow.

Project Team
Fitrah is a social enterprise founded in 2017 by Nadia Niazi, who has more than 20 years of business management experience and working with youth. The organization includes a youth‐run online book reselling store, and its Advisory Board and Board of Directors have expertise in various fields including business management, law, fostering youth advo cacy, education, social work, and finance providing the necessary resources to grow. In order for our social enterprise to be sustainable, the following individuals will be in charge of running the social enterprise: Amreen Keval is the Warehouse Operations Manager, responsible for the logistics and safety of the warehouse, overseeing shifts of 4‐6 yout hs, and managing incoming donations and supplies. Zarmeena Shehryar is the Youth Trainer and Coordinator, working with youths to provide ongoing training, feedback, and support; hold them accountable for safety Application #83

entary. Zarmeena has experience working with NGOs, conducting and completing research projects, training new interns, and completing workshops on intercultural communication and creative group work. She is currently volunteering at a school in Folsom. Amreen and Zarmeena work with Liliana Revelez, the Program Manager at Capital Academy. Th ey provide mentorship to cohorts of youth from Fitrah by overseeing the group of 6 youth at a time, always ready to respond to any situation.

Bader Khan is the part‐time accountant, and Deneva Shelton and David Augusto lead financial literacy and healthy relationship workshops, respectively.

Project Goals
Measuring impact is crucial for us to know if we are achieving our goals of empowerment. One of our methods is for self evaluation of each youth by themselves and their peers after each shift on several key indicators and competencies that we strive to achieve.

These include: attendance and punctuality, professionalism, engagement, dependability,  safety, respect, teamwork, taking initiative, giving and receiving feedback, setting and achieving goals, leadership, problem solving. ‐Our target indicator for success is for 75% of our graduates of our program to have improved in their self assessment at the end of our program for at least 7 of the 12 key indicators At the end of each of our workshops, a survey will be comple ted by each youth participant. ‐Our goal is for 75% of our youth to have learned at least 2 skills related to healthy relationships through the “Love Notes” program that Pro‐Youth will lead.

And 2 skills from the financial literacy workshops. ‐Leverage community re sources to support and empower vulnerable youth: by
involving new volunteers in our social enterprise program through the use of the volunteer central portal through City of Rancho Cordova and engaging the community in increasing our inventory of donated books/merchandise through book drives to reach 10,0
00 books in our inventory. (each book drive generates approximately 1000 books‐we need 10 book drives) Fitrah helps participants of our program measure success through regular follow‐ups for up to two years. Students are expected to earn a high school diploma and be actively engaged in work and/or educ ation for up to 30 hours/week. We measure productivity as a key metric for success‐ helping young people to take the skills and habits learned in the Core Social Enterprise Program and apply them in the workplace or in furthering their education.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
In July, we will select the first cohort of youth from AEG and Capital Academy, comprising 2 cohorts/week with 6 youths each, making 12 youths in total. From August to October, the first month of the program, the youth will receive comprehensive training on book business management, including self and peer assessments on key performan ce indicators and competencies during each shift.

After 4 weeks, the program will begin incorporating workshops on financial literacy, healthy relationships, skills development, career and school planning with mentors. The same process will repeat for new cohorts in November to January and last cohorts from March to June, aiming to include a total of 32  youth in the program. We plan to bring in at least six youth per cohort to account for potential dropouts. We can enlarge the program by including additional stipends should we obtain extra funding.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.

To operate our social enterprise successfully, we require youth to manage various tasks such as inventory listing, shipping, and customer service. Hence, we must initiate the cohorts promptly and engage the youth. Our partners have pledged to conduct the workshops within the given timeline. As we have already obtained the matching and additional funds fro m our partners, we foresee no hindrances in initiating the program.

Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.

Project Information
Project Name
Suvidha International Foundation‐ Youth Empowerment Program for Students Project Synopsis
The Youth Empowerment Program aims to assist students from Grades 3 through 15 in Rancho Cordova City by enhancing their focus and performance while managing their stress and anxiety.

Project Description
Academic pressures, financial challenges, family expectations, and peer pressure can cause emotional issues such as low self‐ esteem, depression, and anxiety, which can lead to unhealthy coping strategies like smoking, drinking, drug use, aggression, violence, and social withdrawal. The Youth Empowerment program's breathing techniques, yoga, meditation, interactive games and activities can help students man age their emotions, reduce stress, and develop positive relationships with peers, parents, and coaches, making them valuable team members who can also perform well academically. A professional non‐profit organization, SKY Schools will conduct youth empowerment and stress‐management program. The benefits of training are presented under the program description. The successful case studies of th ese program are available at https://skyschools.org/impact/. The below paragraph describes the program impacts. “When SKY students at 5 geographically distinct schools were asked about their experience 48‐79%of students reported feeling calmer and more relaxed, 41‐78% reported overall feeling better and happier, 48‐ 75% felt better able to manage stress,41‐75% felt bet
ter able to manage emotions, 41‐81% felt better able to focus, and 42‐64% reported a better quality of sleep. In a post‐course assessment of 18 SKY schools nationwide in 2017, 76‐85% of the 7,333 students surveyed showed significant improvement in six focus area s: mood and feelings, calm state of mind, focus and concentration, anger and frustration, ability to sleep, stress and worry. Schools with higher indicators are those with the highest dosage of programming hours.”
Project Team
Suvidha International Foundation is responsible for development and delivery of this project. A professional non‐profit organization, SKY Schools will conduct youth empowerment and stress‐management program.

Project Goals
The Youth Empowerment Program: 1.Increases self‐esteem and self‐confidence: The program provides participants with opportunities to develop skills and abilities that can boost their confidence and self‐esteem. By learning new skills and taking on leadership roles, participants can gain a sense of accomplishment and feel more capable and confident in themselves. 2. Improves academic perf
ormance: The program helps participants by developing better study habits, time‐management skills, and critical Application #84

2 thinking abilities. This can lead to improved academic performance and greater opportunities for future success. 3. Better Mental Health: The programs helps participants in better managing their stress. Stress can take a toll on mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems. Stress management can help reduce these negative eff ects and improve mental well‐ being 4.Improved Physical Health: The program can help reduce the risk of developing chronic illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. It can also improve overall physical well‐being by reducing muscle tension, improving sleep quality, and boosting their immunity system. 4.Improves decision‐making skills: The program can t each participants how to make better decisions, both for themselves and for their communities. By learning to think critically and weigh the pros and cons of different options, participants can make more informed decisions that lead to better outcomes. 6.Increased sense of community and belonging: The program often creates a  sense of community and belonging among participants. By working together on common goals and projects, participants can develop strong bonds with their peers and mentors, leading to a sense of connection and belonging. Overall, youth empowerment program can have many benefits for both physical and mental health, academic performan
ce, leadership skills, relationships, and quality of life.

WeeCare's Economic Development Programs: Business Operations & Optimization Support & Tools (BOOST) Program for Childcare Providers, Childcare Assistance for Small Employers (CASE), & Back2Work Project Synopsis
WeeCare would provide business and technical support to childcare providers (BOOST), childcare benefits to employees of small businesses (CASE), & childcare credits for unemployed families in need.

Project Description
BOOST: Childcare is a vital service that is directly correlated with local economic output, but paradoxically an under‐resourced industry. The latest census estimates that there are 6,027 children 0‐5 in the City. With respect to current capacity, there are about 20 FCC providers & 30 large Childcare Centers in the City with an estimated total ca pacity of 1,740 childcare slots. That means there is a capacity gap of over 4,287 childcare slots, equating to over 300 NEW providers needed to service all these children in the community. BOOST addresses capacity issues by teaching FCC providers how to use a robust Child Care Ma nagement System (CCMS) that automates enrollments & waitlists, tracks attendance, facilitates payment processing, curates curriculum, & much more. BOOST also provides customer leads for each provider & teaches them how to market themselves, so their enrollment can reach full capacity & stay there. Utilizing automation & advanced technology, FCC providers are able to reach ful l enrollment & earn more.

CASE: The primary goals of the program are to increase access to affordable & reliable childcare for working families, increase labor force participation, & support small businesses in providing childcare benefits to their employees. Additionally, the program aims to support women & low‐income families  that were significantly impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic in returning to the workforce & create a more equitable childcare ecosystem in the City of Rancho Cordova. Back2Work: Designed to support low‐moderate income (LMI) unemployed persons, who are in need of childcare in order to secure employme nt, by issuing childcare credits equal to one (1) full day of childcare. By providing subsidized childcare, the program enables parents and/or guardians to commit time to employment activities such as resume creation, job search, application submission, interview preparation, and onboarding activities, without the added responsibility of caring for children.

Project Goals
BOOST: Ensure financial stability for all providers enrolled with WeeCare. To ensure financial stability, a provider must reach & retain full enrollment, collect fees in full & on time, and ensure revenues cover the cost of care per child. Therefore, WeeCare teaches providers how to use a robust Child Care Management System that autom ates enrollments and waitlists, tracks attendance, facilitates tuition payments, and much more. BOOST also provides customer leads for each provider and teaches them how to market themselves, so their child enrollment can reach its full capacity and stay there. Help providers expand as child enrollments reach full capacity. Lastly, increases the ove rall capacity in the City, increasing childcare access to local families in need. CASE:

Increase access to affordable and reliable childcare for LMI working families. Improve early childhood education and developmental inequities in disadvantaged communities and communities of color. Support small businesses and micro‐enterprises in providing childcare benefits to their  employees. Decrease employee absenteeism and turnover experienced by small businesses due to lack of childcare resources. Decrease the number of mothers leaving the Rancho Cordova workforce. Raise awareness among businesses of the tax benefits available for providing childcare benefits to employees. Increase the number of businesses using federal tax cred its for childcare stipends, helping businesses claim 10%‐25% of the cost, or up to $150,000 annually, for directly paying for employees' childcare expenses. Increase the number of small businesses reporting increased employee retention and talent acquisition.

Back2Work: Remove childcare as a barrier to entry into the workforce for unemployed and unh oused families. Increase access to early education for families most in need, providing havens from homelessness. Increase workforce participation & wages. Prevent homelessness and provide supportive services to families in need.

Funding Request

Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
Yes
What other funding will you seek to support your project? WeeCare will only ask for additional support in future years to assist all unserviced childcare providers and small businesses in the community. However, providers and businesses would only be eligible to apply for the programs once. The strategy behind BOOST and CASE applies that knowledge ‐ that government funding is a transitional aid, not the solution itself. Therefore, BOO ST is designed to only operate with each FCC cohort for one (1) year. Throughout the program, FCCH providers will be coached to define their business objectives and understand their target market so they can continue successful practices long after the program has ended. It will also provide FCC partici pants with enrollment assistance utilizing WeeCare’s state‐of‐the‐art matching technology, bringing local families and providers together. Providers and their families will not be charged concierge deposits, tuition processing fees, or support & safety fees for the first year under the program. The CASE program will enroll small businesses into WeeCare's corporate be
nefit services for up to a year. The goal is to raise awareness among businesses of the federal tax benefits available for providing childcare benefits to employees, and ultimately increase the number of businesses using the federal tax credit for childcare expenditure, which allows businesses  to claim 10%‐25% of the cost, or up to $150,000 annually, for directly paying for employees' childcare expenses. The outcome of this educational campaign would lead to an increase in employer stipends being issued throughout the community, decreasing the need for government support.

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
In July 2023, WeeCare will launch marketing and outreach campaigns to daycare providers and families to ensure all persons within city limits have an equal opportunity to participate in the program. WeeCare’s public strategies include digital advertisements, social media campaigns, press releases, announcements through partnerships with community organizations & nonprofits, and incentivize referrals. Demographic inform
ation collected upon intake includes income, household size, industry experience, certifications and level of education, race/ethnicity, and age. Confirm eligibility of participating micro‐enterprise businesses and families. Finalize partnerships with nonprofits or HMIS intake agencies by engaging the WeeCare Community Outreach Coordinator. Begin program operations and connect each daycare prov ider and small employer to their Care Coach. By August, WeeCare will begin training daycare providers on how to use WeeCare’s Child Care Management Software. Onboard small employers on how to use Administrative Dashboards. We will also outreach to new and existing families already enrolled in the daycare locations to onboard them to the WeeCare mobile app. T

ACCOMPLISHMENT NARRATIVE
During the Fiscal Year 2021-2022, WeeCare worked towards accomplishing several goals for BOOST’s program year. This program was designed to support 25 microenterprise childcare providers in Cathedral City.

WeeCare's Childcare Business and Technical Assistance Program supports family childcare (FCC) providers in operating a sustainable business by supplying them with WeeCare software and support free of charge. Through this program, 25 licensed family childcare providers in Cathedral City will receive business and technical assistance, generously funded in partnership with the city and WeeCare. These FCC providers qualify as micro-enterprises as they employ less than five employees per location. Providers are considered LMI employers who can serve additional LMI persons. By supporting 25 childcare providers, WeeCare also helped service Cathedral City families.

To roll out the program, WeeCare conducted phone, text, and email outreach to all the licensed childcare providers in Cathedral City to inform them of the BOOST program eligibility and onboard them onto the WeeCare platform to begin receiving business and technical assistance. In its first program year, WeeCare’s BOOST program successfully reached reach 56 of the eligible providers throughout the city, and WeeCare enrolled 18 licensed childcare providers who already had existing childcare provider licenses and received immediate business and technical support services for their existing childcare business. In turn, the program also helped to support an additional 232 LMI-eligible children and families with communication, family education, and support services such as tuition, curriculum, and billing support for both the families and providers. In addition to the 18 existing LMI- eligible childcare providers with existing businesses in Cathedral City, WeeCare assisted 22 new LMI-eligible persons in starting a new childcare business.

Randi Stephens, Management Analyst II
City of Rancho Cordova
2729 Prospect Park Dr.

Rancho Cordova, CA 95670
RE: CEIF Funding Proposal for FY 2023-24
Dear Randi:

It is my pleasure to submit this application as our formal request for funding under the Community Enhancement & Investment Fund (CEIF) Program for the 2023-2024 plan year (PY). The enclosed proposal briefly outlines the City's childcare landscape, critical findings specific to the City of Rancho Cordova, and the recommended programs needed to address said findings. The goal is to utilize the critical findings to assist in planning and implementing programs and initiatives that will ultimately improve the local childcare ecosystem, which is the backbone that supports the City of Rancho Cordova's workforce.

The COVID-19 Pandemic intensified existing challenges in the childcare industry that children, families and providers continue to face today, compounding existing structural and systemic inequities in our communities. Specifically, some of these challenges include the rising costs of quality childcare pricing many families out of the market and forcing them to rely on non-suitable childcare alternatives or forcing them to leave the workforce. All of these negative outcomes impact the local economy's ability to attract and retain talent, offer competitive wages, and even sustain long-term economic growth. The proposed CEIF funded activities will assist with the City’s efforts to foster a resilient and sustainable local economy post COVID-19. Specifically, funds will support local childcare providers, employers, and families, creating a strong foundation for the City's workforce to thrive.

WeeCare is requesting $329,750 in CEIF funds to be used for BOOST, CASE, and Back2Work. In order to service the estimated population, WeeCare will provide $221,000 in matching funds to augment the CEIF grant funds, for a total community investment of $550,750. During the program year, WeeCare will support 16 childcare providers, 250 small businesses, 2,500 employees, and 274 households in the community. The populations supported is broken down by program below:

ATTACHMENT 3

This funding will directly support the demographics of families and providers most impacted by COVID-19 and most in need of childcare services. By supporting the implementation of WeeCare’s programs, the City of Rancho Cordova will be making strides towards creating a stable childcare ecosystem for families and businesses, maximizing the available childcare capacity in the community. We look forward to developing a long-term relationship with the City of Rancho Cordova to continue to support the children, families, and childcare providers throughout the community.

Sincerely,

“I love being a part of WeeCare. When
parents come to tour, they already have trust
in my program before we have even met. I
also never realized how much more I could
earn, WeeCare helped me to fill all my
openings- even that random 2 hour vacant
slot on wednesday evening”

“WeeCare has alleviated so much stress when it
comes to enrollments, tuition payments, and
productivity. I believe that teaming up with WeeCare
has also helped facilitate a sense of trust for families when deciding to enroll in my daycare. Parents can
see that I have passed a background check and can
also depend on reliable community reviews from
other parents to help their decision-making process.”

Project Information
Project Name
Home Preservation and Neighborhood Revitalization with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento Project Synopsis
Assist low‐income Rancho Cordova residents, particularly seniors, Veterans, and disabled homeowners with repairs to bring their homes into safe, habitable condition while beautifying neighborhoods.

Project Description
We estimate this funding will allow us to make significant critical health and safety related and beautification repairs on at least 25 qualified low‐income owner‐occupied homes in Rancho Cordova both improving community pride and quality of life for the residents receiving repairs and their neighbors. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento will clos e our fiscal year 22/23 having completed over 100 home rehabilitations for low‐income homeowners in the greater Sacramento region (in addition to Habitat’s other ongoing home building and community investment programs). Example renovations include replacing leaking and structurally unsound roofs and porches, replacing single‐pane windows, exterior paint/landscaping, substantial accessibility and agin g in place upgrades, dry rot remediation, and health and safety related critical exterior repairs. If we receive this requested grant support, planned activities include: •Conducting outreach to increase awareness of the repair program within the City of Rancho Cordova • Screen applicants to establish eligibility and conduct on‐si te reviews by a construction supervisor to define project scope. • Plan and execute the selected projects under program supervision from a licensed general contractor and with on‐site construction professionals as project supervisors. The majority of the labor on Habitat projects is typically provided by volunteers. Where possible we leverage gr
ant funding by actively soliciting in kind donations of materials to reduce project costs or layering on additional funding pools to stretch CEF dollars farther and to impact more Rancho Cordova households. • Evaluate the effectiveness of this program; report to the City with a listing of who received assistance, a narrative of their eligibility for fundi ng, description of the work performed, cost of the work charged to the grant, other funding or in kind resources leveraged, and testimonials from the homeowner partners served.

Project Team
Habitat’s staff of professionals play a huge part in ensuring that projects are completed on schedule and on budget. Our Director of Construction Michael Gordon (43+ years construction experience) plans and directs all aspects of our home construction and repair activities in cooperation with our Director of Homeowner Services, Cory Stevenson (JD Western Reserv e University Law School) who oversees compliance and funding for all renovation projects. Our Home Preservation Construction Manager Brian Bushta (10+ years construction experience, 4 years with Habitat) manages all “boots on the ground” activities including volunteers and subcontractors, Application #86

2 and day‐to‐day details for all projects in process. Brian also ensures that our build sites are safe, and work is completed on schedule.

Brian is supported by two Site Supervisors, John Fletcher and Geoff Williams who are responsible for the oversight of individual projects and assigned volunteers. Our Neighborhood Revitalization Mana ger, Patricia Foley (10+ years nonprofit work, 1.5 years with Habitat) is responsible for outreach, recruiting and qualifying prospective families, and guiding them throughout the process. Our COO Shannin Stein (25+ years non‐profit experience) supports the Homeowner Services team with compliance, insurance, and reporting on grant activities. Our Controller Farrah Shields (10+ ye ars finance and accounting experience) is responsible for ensuring donated funds are used efficiently, applied as directed, and that Habitat complies with the terms of grant funding.

Project Goals
Our primary goal is to rehabilitate as many as 25 or more low/fixed‐income owner‐occupied homes with deferred interior and exterior maintenance issues in Rancho Cordova. By eliminating substandard living conditions and potentially serious life/safety and structural deficiencies, we hope to restore Rancho Cordova homeowners’ sense of pride, safety, and comfort in their homes an d community. Our additional short‐term goal by providing these critical home repairs is also to benefit the neighborhood at large by beautifying the streetscape through landscaping and general external beautification measures. We anticipate these 25+ repairs would directly impact between 40‐65 Rancho Cordova individuals with critically neede d preservation and maintenance support and untold numbers of neighbors who would benefit from the uplifted streetscape. We also strive to work with the City of Rancho Cordova to identify homeowners with active and/or pending code violations related to deferred maintenance and to assist homeowners in Our long‐term goal is to alter the decision‐making calc ulus when seniors and their families are faced with the difficult decision on whether it is safe for them to age in place. The critical home repairs we do are often the make‐or‐break deciding factor on whether residents are able to choose to age in pla ce or are forced to seek other housing. The beautification repairs (painting and landscaping) can also have significant impact on both the neighborhood and the mental health and pride of ownership for the resident. We will provide an end of grant report to include data on a) who re ceived  assistance, b) a narrative of their eligibility for funding, c) description and photos of the work performed, d) costs of the work charged to the grant, e) other funding or in‐kind resources leveraged f) homeowner testimonials and impact photos.

Funding Request
Funds are generally not intended to be used for deferred maintenance and ongoing operational needs. The funds are intended for community enhancement & investment.

Total Project Cost
$300,000
Estimated Breakdown of Project Expenditures
Our estimated breakdown of the $300,000 grant would be: ‐ 60% Sub‐contracted services, site services, and labor/site supervisor – $180,000 ‐ 30% Building materials (lumber, siding, plants, etc.) ‐ $90,000 ‐ 10% Administrative costs (marketing, social services and operations labor) ‐ $30,000 Many of our critical repairs are completed by skilled, licensed, and insured sub‐contractors, parti cularly roof repairs and replacements, HVAC and window replacements, and plumbing repairs. Costs for these services have increased in recent years, so we have adjusted our allocation in this area higher than in previous grant years. Full costs of subcontractor labor and materials are bundled into the sub‐contracted services category. Bui lding materials includes all of the materials for repairs conducted by volunteer labor including landscaping removal and replacement, fence replacement, and siding/external paint projects. We have also included 10% of the grant go to support the administrative/operational needs including marketing to the Rancho Cordova community, review and selection of homeowners, homeown er support, bi‐annual reporting with the City of Rancho Cordova, documentation for reporting, and the weekly communication with City of Rancho Cordova staff. Every inquiry/application from prospective home repair partner families must be reviewed, homeowner communicated with, and for those homeowners whose applications are accepted, walked through the contract and pro cess from application to finish of repairs. As evidenced by our 19/20 CEF grant where we promised 3‐4 home repairs and delivered 5, as well as with our 21/22 CEF grant where we completed 15 total projects (13 using Rancho Cordova CEF money 2 using SMUD grant funds) we will continue to be ef ficient, frugal, deliberate, and look for opportunities to stretch the CEF grant by leveraging and laying on additional partnerships.

Matching Funds
We currently have grant commitments and applications pending to further expand our Neighborhood Revitalization/Home Preservation Program at large across the greater Sacramento and Yolo County region. As these applications are approved, eligible funds will work in conjunction with Rancho Cordova funding to maximize our impact for Rancho Cordova residents. Additional Neighborhood Revitalization grantors inc lude SMUD providing over $1 million in home preservation and electrification funds through fiscal year 2024, $1.35 million from HCD for Owner Occupied Repairs for residents living in opportunity and promise zones (particularly focused on mobile home residents), County of Sacramento $41,300 TOT funds for fiscal year 23/24, Air Warrior Coura ge Foundation $15,000 pledged for Veteran home repairs, and over $1.5 million from the City of Sacramento for efforts specifically targeted in the 95817, 95820, 95824, and 95828 zip codes. Rancho Cordova homeowners have always been eligible for funding Application #86

3 through our program and will continue to be so, even if we are not awarded CEF grant funding this year. If our CEF grant request is denied, then Rancho Cordova applicants will be competing with a much larger pool of applicants for rehabilitation funding. Our program prioritizes homeowners and homes with the greatest healt h and safety needs when making decisions as to which applicants to serve. Approving our CEF grant request gives Rancho Cordova residents a dedicated source of funding to address their needs without competing with applicants from all Greater Sacramento and Yolo County. Additionally, if awarded this grant, we would look for opportunities fo r in‐kind support and matching funds within the city of Rancho Cordova to stretch the allocated dollars farther and rehabilitate more homes and neighborhoods.

Include Any Other Funding Contributions
While we have other funding contributions for our repairs program at large (see above), we do not have any other funding that is Rancho Cordova specific or which would help us prioritize the City of Rancho Cordova and Rancho Cordova homeowners. If this request is denied, then Rancho Cordova applicants are competing with a much larger pool  of applicants. This grant would help us put Rancho Cordova applicants to the top of the list through a dedicated application period specifically for Rancho Cordova families, seniors, and veterans in need of home preservation services. Additionally, while we have included a modest 10% of the grant towards the weekly o
perations/admin support needed for qualifying and working directly with the homeowner partners and reporting, the majority of the homeowner services, as well as finance, and volunteer services staff time would be covered through other areas of our $10+ million budget such as from our ReStore ($1 million unrestricted revenue annu ally), Habitat homeowner mortgage payments (unrestricted revenue), and general unrestricted donations.

4 have exceeded expectations in terms of impact numbers and have worked hard to be a reliable CEF partner with the City. Even during COVID in 2020 when our organization was shut down for 6 weeks, we were able to deliver and complete all projects within the grant period and exceeded expectations. We will do the same this curr ent grant period with a larger funding allotment of $100,000. Since submitting our last grant application to the City of Rancho Cordova, we have also hired an additional Site Supervisor dedicated solely to Home Preservation and Neighborhood Revitalization projects. Habitat is an organization which takes great pride in always doing what we say we are goi
ng to do. Based on the ongoing interest of Rancho Cordova residents in our services and programs, our proven capacity, and our increased program and construction support added to our team over the past year, we feel confident that the need is there as is our cap acity to make a larger impact with larger grant support.

Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.

Will you be able to adjust your project if California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders change? For example, the program could operate virtually  or with other modifications made. Please describe.

While our program cannot function virtually, we were able to make adjustments in 2020 and 2021 to continue to address health and safety habitability issues, while also maintaining social distancing and other COVID safety protocols. We are confident that our team is ready to adjust to similar circumstances should they present themselves during th e upcoming funding year.

PAL Outdoor Adventure Club
Project Synopsis
Outdoor Adventure Club embarks on outdoor adventures. PAL utilizes these adventures to build our kids' confidence, promote creativity/imagination, appreciate nature, teamwork, and physical fitness.

Project Description
The mission of the Rancho Cordova Police Activities League (PAL) is to involve and mentor youth in social, educational, recreational and leadership activities that will deter crime, increase self‐esteem, and promote a positive relationship with law enforcement. PAL is seeking funding to support a program: PAL OUTDOOR ADVENTURE CLUB. After several years of virtual learning, our Outdoor Advent
ure Club has provided outdoor activities to “reboot” the youth in our community. We know kids spend over 7 hours a day in front of a screen, so now more than ever our kids need a positive, healthy, and safe break from their devices. Our club has embark ed on several outdoor adventures such as hiking, camping, snow trips, aquatic activities, and much more. PAL utilizes these “adventures” to build our kids confidence, promote creativity/imagination, an appreciation for nature, team work, and physical fitness. Club members also participate in outdoor community events, such as community food drives, and ot her PAL events. The funding will allow our youth to participate in the program at no cost to them and purchase needed equipment and pay necessary fees to provide the best possible adventure experience.

Project Team
PAL staff: Officer Jason Kimbrell, Officer Sariah Loudon, and SROI Tina Aldama RCPD Youth Services Unit: Sgt. James Spurgeon and SRO’s: Thomas Tiapula and Veronica Cervantes Additional RCPD Officers, non‐sworn staff, and approved volunteers (if needed).

Project Goals
Our goal is to increase engagement with our youth through outdoor adventures, focused on diversity and inclusion for all youth wanting to participate. Build participant confidence, promote creativity/imagination, an appreciation for nature, team work, and physical fitness. Create images and videos of outdoor adventures to highlight the city’s support of youth programs and community service. Increase club members communit
y engagement and enhancement through participation in outdoor community events, such as tree plantings, clean‐up days, community food drives, and other PAL youth events. Increase exposure for our PAL program, increase youth membership in PAL, and create excitement about the new youth center.

COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT FUND GRANT APPLICATION
Spay/Neuter/Vaccine Program
Project Description: Enhance the Quality of Life in Rancho Cordova by offering and promoting spay/neuter services for canines and felines in our community and caring for Community (Homeless) Cats. Education and spay/neuter services are urgently needed to reduce pet overpopulation.

Canines, specifically, have had very limited support. A small number of rabbit spay/neuters are covered if a clinic will offer that service. Felines continue to be unaltered and abandoned by residents, especially in rental housing, which increases the need for immediate action by the Project Team below.

ID impact to fund utilization in 2023-2024
The i
nability of the spay/neuter clinics to be efficient due to the safety protocols mandated by the pandemic created a huge backlog in requested spay/neuter surgeries. The wait for surgeries continue to be up to 5 months. CSNC has stopped taking canine appointments, since they are booked for 8 months. However, we have just added Animal Spay and Neuter in Auburn to our program. They have openings with waits as short as one week to two months, plus they can do community cats during the week, which will help us fill many needs that are now unmet.

Pr
oject Schedule:

Support for Community Cats will occur throughout the year, intensifying around the breeding seasons of Spring and Fall. Trapping will facilitate spay/neuter services to hold populations in check. The number of animals requiring spay/neuter this year will be greater due to a number of factors:
• Backlog at the clinics due to CoVid. They are starting to work through it. • The Sacramento SPCA had a grant to fully fund 10 ferals per day, Monday-Saturday. • We have added Animal Spay and Neuter to our approved vendors to address the need for pet spay/neuter services.

The c
linics performing low-cost spay/neuter in the Sacramento Region are at capacity. Costs for spay/neuter services at the clinics have increased, which requires more funding to support surgeries.

The S
acramento SPCA has received grant funds to be able to alter feral cats at most Sunday clinics for no cost. But the number of spots are limited and the demand is high. Community Spay & Neuter Clinic performs free surgeries for Community Cats on a limited basis, as long as their grant funds hold out, but we don’t anticipate we can rely on this funding in FY 2023-24.

CoVID has impacted our over-all plan. Many animals could not even get appointments for spay/neuter.

At
the end of that period, we anticipate the need for Community Enhancement Funds to support this effort will be less. We believe that investing the funds now will pay dividends in the future. For instance, San Francisco had an aggressive program in place, and now they have NO kittens! If anyone wants to adopt one, they have to import them from other cities or rescue agencies.

We
have found that residents who contact us have very limited funds. They love their pets and/or don’t want the stray cats to starve. Many are receiving pet food from us to continue to support their pets and stray cats.

Sustainability
The Rancho Cordova Whisker Warriors believes that the need for our services will continue at this high rate for several more years. We will actively seek more donations. However, we do not envision that the need for support will completely be eliminated.

The Whisker Warriors do provide services to the community above and beyond the services funded through the Community Enhancement Fund grant. Leveraging partnerships is key to fulfilling our mission. We also have sponsored free feral clinics at Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode and Animal Spay and Neuter. The key right now is to get more resources for pet spay/neuter.

Some of the areas in which we have used donations and partnerships to fulfill our mission:
• Animal Education is a priority. We provide education to families at the numerous events we attend each year in the city. We are still hoping to put together a plan to go into the schools and provide classroom education.
• Trailer Parks & Apartments We are concentrating efforts on partnering with the managers of these sites to control the population of animals in these locations. • Senior aid We have been successful in engaging local businesses in our requests for donations for seniors. The end result is that we have been able to provide at-risk seniors with a stable source of dog food through the Meals-On-Wheels program without the use of any grant funds. We also have been able to fully support dry cat food for an increasing number of homeless cat colonies in Rancho Cordova outside of the grant funds. We continue to seek opportunities to help seniors and other residents in need. • Veterans Village at Mather We have had sufficient donations to provide pet beds, toys, treats and dog and cat food for the companion animals for all the Veterans at the Village.

Phases now open (146 apartments), there are increased needs for both dog and cat food and supplies.
• Adoptions We are partnering with the SPCA to foster kittens and cats that we bring to the shelter, or animals surrendered to the shelter. NorCal Freedom for Paws now adopts out dogs through PetSmart and other venues. We are also partnering with the Sacramento SPCA, Fat Kitty City and Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode to foster kittens and cats for adoption through their programs.
• Care for Community Cats Humane trapping of new colony members and colony maintenance, including building of shelters and feeding stations, is provided by either Whisker Warriors or other trappers in the region. Animal Services Officers rely on us to help mitigate issues with stray or feral cats for residents. We also will partner with them on the return to field program with the SPCA. We partner with the Northern California Community Cat Alliance to provide services within Sacramento County. Volunteers with Sac Ferals and Cat Core Sacramento work with apartment managers, businesses and residents to provide solutions.

Thank you for caring for the animals of Rancho Cordova! Application #88

Project Information
Project Name
Locomotive Storage Building
Project Synopsis
The Sacramento Valley Live Steamers Railroad Museum (SVLSRM) wishes to construct a new locomotive storage building to create more storage space for equipment used on public run days and special events Project Description
While many of our members and volunteers live in the Sacramento area, and many call Rancho Cordova home, we are very proud of the fact that we have created a lasting relationship with our visitors, including those that extend outside of California. Because of this, our events provide opportunities for local businesses and services of Ra ncho Cordova such as catering and restaurants, fuel, hotels and lodging, and vendors who offer miscellaneous material and supplies. For the many that come and ride our trains, we have become a family tradition. Having the appropriate means to be able to store locomotives with this increased capa city would allow us to host more visitors and provide more experiences at community events.

Project Team
With direction from the Board of Directors and the organization’s membership, the concept images and schematics were prepared by Philip Huntingdale, a Structural Engineer, along with a collaboration of Clausen Engineers of Emeryville, CA. Both engineers have vast experience in the design, construction management and supervision of overall commercial building projects. A contractor shall be assigned, an
d be responsible for providing the design for the project. The project shall be designed by registered Structural Engineer in the State of California (Project Engineer). The design shall comply with the applicable building codes in order to obtain the City of Rancho Cordova Building Permit and any neces sary government permits for specialty work included.

Project Goals
Our goal is to be able to continue to offer the best possible experience while improving the safe and efficient way our visitors enjoy our railroad. Our proposal for a new building would allow us to provide a new experience to show visitors how our trains run, and what it takes to maintain them . The additional storage space would allow us to increase the number of locomotives available to be used for public run days, birthday parties and special events. Being able to move the locomotives from our current storage would also create valuable space, and allow us to invest in new riding cars so that we can in crease our railroad’s ridership capacity.

Leadership Class 16‐ Support Mental Health Programs in Rancho Cordova Schools Project Synopsis
Rancho Cordova's Leadership Class 16 has chosen a project focused on bringing much needed support to our youth by strengthening mental health and wellness centers at public schools in Rancho Cordova.

Project Description
Our Leadership class has chosen to strengthen mental health and wellness centers at public schools in Rancho Cordova. We are working with the vision to create safe and supportive environments for youth to learn and practice emotional regulation and mental wellness strategies. We will be doing so aiding in furnishing and equipping school ‐based wellness centers (using existing building space), where all students can build caring connections with adults and peers on campus, learn strategies for managing strong emotions, receive mental health care for trauma exposure, and participate in peer conflict resolution interventions. These centers will also be a place for families to gather for parent educati on and access community resources. Currently 8,000 students are enrolled in FCUSD schools in Rancho Cordova. Each of these campuses serves a majority of low‐income youth and families that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID‐caused harm from lost jobs, the death of family members and lack of direct instru ction due to distance learning.Research shows that one in five students aged 13 to 18 are living with mental health challenges and schools are the primary delivery model for mental health services in Sacramento County. All Rancho Cordova schools in FCUSD currently have at least one part time men tal health specialist with a total of 17 licensed clinicians in Rancho schools ( 6 in Folsom). Estimated cost is $1,500 per school site with a minimal goal of 12 sites = $18,500.
