enter into transactions or other activities that invoke one or more U.S. sanctions programs or embargoes.
18.4 JHU and Subrecipient shall independently assume full responsibility for their own release of Controlled Items to, or controlled transactions with, a foreign country or its citizens.
18.5 If either party discovers that it cannot reasonably ensure its lawful performance of activities involving Controlled Items or sanctions programs or embargoes, whether anticipated or unanticipated, where such activities are required in order to fulfill its obligations under this Subagreement, then the parties will make a good-faith effort to contemplate feasible, alternative activities.

13. 19. ANTI-TERRORIST COMPLIANCE
19.1 Subrecipient is reminded that U.S. Executive Orders and U.S. law prohibits transactions with, and the provision of resources and support to, individuals and organizations associated with terrorism.

Love Your Block
Statement of Work
Overview
The primary purpose of this project is the design and implementation of Love Your Block, an impact volunteering grant program supporting volunteer-fueled projects that address local public problems. This grant program focuses on supporting cities to partner with community groups and activate resident volunteers to repair, remediate, and address blight in their neighborhoods.
The award of $100,000 over two years will support resident-led revitalization efforts and fund a Love Your Block Fellow (“Fellow”) recruited from the target community in accordance with this Agreement. The funding recognizes the City’s commitment to engage volunteers in blight prevention and/or remediation activities such as housing repair and vacant lot transformation to revitalize low-income neighborhoods. An AmeriCorps VISTA member will provide additional capacity to this effort. The City and City Lead (as hereinafter defined) shall work fully and cooperatively with the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins (BCPI) and its strategic partners to achieve the goals of the Program.

1. Please tell us about the public
problem the eligible organization hopes
to alleviate or solve with the proposed
project. Specifically include the scale of
the problem, who is impacted, and how.
Please provide quantitative and
qualitative data to describe the scale of
the problem and the impact of this
issue.
The City of San Bernardino is grappling with the dual challenges of urban blight and limited economic opportunities, particularly pronounced in its disadvantaged areas. Community partners have identified various vacant lots throughout the City, many of which are in states of neglect, contributing to the deterioration of many neighborhoods' aesthetics and safety.
Economic indicators further highlight the scope of the challenge. According to the 2020 U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, San Bernardino's 5.5% unemployment rate exceeds the national average of 3.9%, and the median household income of $65,311 trails behind the state's $84,907 average. In addition, 15% of its residents live below the federal poverty line compared to the 12% statewide average, illustrating the economic hurdles residents face.
The impact of blighted properties on the community extends beyond economic metrics. These neglected spaces have become a source of safety concerns, diminishing the sense of security among residents. The decline in neighborhood quality due to blight has adversely affected community cohesion, as these areas become less conducive to social interactions and community activities. Furthermore, the city's image suffers, affecting local pride and deterring potential investments and new residents.
In response to these challenges, the City of San Bernardino, through a collaborative effort involving the Mayor's Office, the Economic Development department, and the Grants team, proposes a project centered around public engagement and beautifying public spaces. The initiative will transform neglected areas into vibrant, community-focused spaces through the installation of murals, public art, and clean-ups of vacant lots. These efforts are not only expected to improve the physical environment but also to stimulate local commerce, raise property values, and enhance community pride and engagement.
Integral to this project's success are community partners such as Making Hope Happen: Uplift San Bernardino and Music Changing Lives. These organizations will be pivotal in mobilizing community resources and encouraging public participation. The City of San Bernardino is committed to reversing the tide of urban decline, leveraging these challenges as opportunities for sustainable economic growth and community revitalization.

2. Please describe the eligible
organization’s commitment to
addressing this problem and why it is a
priority. Describe how the mayor or city
chief executive has prioritized this
problem. If relevant also, describe what
has already been done to address this
problem.
The City of San Bernardino recognizes the challenges of addressing urban blight and stimulating economic development as critical priorities for the well-being and growth of the community. The City's prioritization of this issue is evident in the city's strategic planning and policy-making. The Mayor and city executives have placed a significant emphasis on revitalization and economic development, recognizing that the health and vitality of the city's neighborhoods are inextricably linked to its overall economic success and the quality of life of its residents. This focus is underscored by the Mayor's active involvement in championing projects aimed at neighborhood improvement and economic revitalization.
Based on the City's 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan, its commitment to addressing the problem of urban blight and limited economic opportunities is evident and deeply rooted in strategic planning and community engagement. This aligns with the City's status as an entitlement city receiving CDBG funding to serve low- to moderate-income households and address urgent community development needs, including preventing or eliminating slums and blight.
The city's objectives, as outlined in the Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan, include addressing homelessness, affordable housing, expanding homeownership, and improving facilities and infrastructure, all of which contribute to economic development. In addition, the city has historically held a strong commitment to citizen participation and consultation processes. The engagement of a diverse group of stakeholders, including residents, business owners, and interest groups, has been central to identifying community priorities and shaping the city's strategic plans. This inclusive approach ensures that the strategies and goals set by the city are reflective of the community's needs and aspirations.

4. How will volunteers be engaged in the
project? How many volunteers do you
expect to engage? Please describe what
activities volunteers will take on and the
volunteering frequency.
The project includes actively engaging volunteers through strategic collaborations with Community-Based Organizations and with the support and facilitation of the City, the AmeriCorps VISTA member, and the Love Your Block Fellow. The project is designed to harness the energy and commitment of the local community, channeling it into meaningful and impactful activities.
The engagement of volunteers will be a cornerstone of this initiative. The City anticipates engaging a significant number of volunteers, potentially in the hundreds, depending on the scale of each individual project and the community response. These volunteers will be drawn from diverse areas of the community, including local schools, businesses, community groups, and individual residents.
Volunteers will be involved in a range of activities, including:
Mural and Public Art Creation: Volunteers will have opportunities to assist in the creation and installation of murals and public art pieces. This may involve painting, preparation of sites, and assisting artists and project leaders.
Beautification and Clean-Up: Volunteers will play a key role in clean-up efforts in blighted areas, including trash removal, landscaping, and general beautification efforts to transform vacant and neglected spaces.
Community Outreach and Engagement: Some volunteers will be involved in outreach efforts, helping to spread the word about the project, engaging more community members, and organizing local events related to the project.
Project Support and Logistics: Volunteers may also assist with logistical aspects of the project, such as organizing materials, coordinating events, and supporting project management tasks.
The frequency of volunteering will vary based on the project phase and the specific needs of each activity. Some volunteers may participate in one-off events such as a specific clean-up day or mural painting event. In contrast, others may engage more regularly, contributing to ongoing activities throughout the project's duration.
By leveraging the strengths and resources of CBOs and the City, the project will create a structured yet flexible volunteering framework. This approach will not only facilitate effective and impactful volunteer participation but also ensure that volunteering experiences are rewarding and meaningful for all those involved.

impacted communities and who are
representative (e.g., gender, race, age,
different-ability) of the area of focus?
The City will recruit volunteers from and living in the impacted communities who are representative of the focus area. This will involve collaboration with City Council members, local organizations, and using the City's social media presence and email marketing capabilities.
City Council members, known for their close connections with constituencies, are integral to volunteer recruitment. They will leverage community meetings, local events, and their personal networks to reach out to residents, informing them about volunteer opportunities and encouraging participation. Additionally, partnerships with local organizations, such as nonprofits, educational institutions, and community groups, will be instrumental. These organizations have established trust within the community and can effectively mobilize volunteers from various demographic segments.
Furthermore, the City plans to use social media platforms to amplify the project's messaging and reach a diverse audience. The social media campaigns will be tailored to highlight the project's community impact, featuring stories and visuals that resonate with the local population to encourage participation.
Email marketing is another key component of the City's recruitment strategy. Targeted email campaigns will disseminate information about volunteering opportunities, ensuring broad outreach across different community groups. The content of these emails will be designed to be inclusive and engaging, catering to a wide spectrum of residents, including those with varying levels of digital literacy.
The City's approach to volunteer recruitment emphasizes inclusivity and targeted outreach. The goal is to reflect the diverse demographic makeup of the area in the volunteer team. Special efforts will be made to ensure accessibility for differently-abled individuals, providing them with meaningful opportunities to contribute. Through this multifaceted approach, the City will form a volunteer base that truly embodies the spirit and diversity of the community, thereby enhancing the project's effectiveness and impact.

11. What result(s) do you expect to
achieve through Love Your Block? For
example: number of volunteers
engaged, volunteer hours, community
projects completed, pounds of trash
removed, square feet of graffiti
removed, trees planted, and community
partners engaged.
Through the Love Your Block initiative, the City expects to achieve tangible and impactful results that will significantly contribute to the revitalization and development of the community.
A primary result will be successfully completing various community-driven projects. These projects, ranging from the installation of public art and murals to the beautification and clean-up of vacant lots, will transform blighted areas into vibrant community spaces.

12. How will you measure the impact of
Love Your Block? Please identify up to
five (5) measures the mayor and other
key executives (e.g., council members,
chief of staff, etc.), as well as engaged
residents and community partners will
receive to show the impact of the
project on the stated public challenge.
The impact of the Love Your Block project will be measured through a combination of quantitative and qualitative metrics. This includes regular community surveys, which will gather feedback from residents and stakeholders on their perceptions of the neighborhood improvements and the overall effectiveness of the projects. The surveys will be used to collect data throughout the project phases of pre-during and -post-implementation.
Another crucial measure will be the number of projects completed, serving as a quantitative indicator of the initiative's reach in physically transforming blighted areas. The degree of community engagement will also be closely monitored, including tracking volunteer participation rates and involvement of local organizations, reflecting the community's support and involvement.
Additionally, the physical transformation of targeted areas will be assessed through before-and-after analyses, using photographic documentation and site visits to visually capture the changes.
Finally, the long-term impact on social cohesion will be measured through follow-up surveys and interviews, evaluating changes in community interaction and social ties post-project completion. These measures will collectively provide a measurable overview of the Love Your Block initiative's success in revitalizing neighborhoods and enhancing the quality of life for San Bernardino residents.

13. How will you track metrics for the
project (e.g., dashboard, bi-weekly
status meeting, etc.)? You may provide
examples of how the city has tracked
similar project-related metrics.
The City of San Bernardino will employ a multifaceted approach to track metrics for the Love Your Block project through combined regular stakeholder meetings, updates to the City Council, and the use of technology for real-time tracking and visualization of project developments.
Regular stakeholder meetings will be a key component of the tracking strategy. These meetings will provide a platform for discussing project progress, addressing challenges, and sharing insights and feedback. They will involve representatives from the city departments, community partners, volunteers, and other relevant stakeholders. The frequency of these meetings will reflect timely and effective communication.
The project team will also provide regular updates to the City Council.
These updates will include detailed reports on the project's progress, including the number of projects completed, volunteer engagement statistics, and the impact on community cohesion and neighborhood improvement. This will ensure that the city's leadership is kept abreast of the initiative's progress and can provide guidance and support as needed.
Leveraging technology, the city will use an ESRI map to visually track project metrics. This interactive map will include project development timelines, allowing stakeholders to see the geographical spread and progress of various initiatives in real time. This tool has been effective in past city projects for its ability to provide a clear and dynamic overview of project developments.
In the past, the City of San Bernardino has successfully used similar methods to track project-related metrics. For instance, stakeholder meetings and council updates have been standard practices in maintaining transparency and accountability in city initiatives. Using ESRI maps for tracking has provided an innovative and efficient way to monitor and communicate project progress to all involved parties.
By combining these methods, the city will ensure that the Love Your Block project is tracked effectively, with clear, accessible, and up-to-date information available, facilitating informed decision-making and continuous improvement.

14. How often does the eligible
organization collect demographic data?
Who is tasked with this data collection?
The City collects demographic data on a regular basis using ESRI for data collection and analysis. This platform enables the city to access and analyze comprehensive demographic information efficiently.
The frequency of demographic data collection can vary based on project requirements and objectives. For a project like Love Your Block, where understanding community composition is crucial for effective planning and implementation, the city will collect and review demographic data periodically throughout the project lifecycle. This will take place bi-annually to ensure that the data remains current and relevant.
The responsibility for this data collection typically falls to a designated team or department within the city organization. For this project, this will include the Economic Development Department and the Mayor's office. These teams responsible for demographic data collection would use ESRI to gather, update, and analyze relevant demographic information, providing crucial insights for decision-making and project adaptation. Regular collection and analysis of demographic data are essential for understanding the community's changing needs and dynamics, enabling the city to tailor its initiatives effectively and ensure that they are as inclusive and impactful as possible.
15. What demographic data does the
eligible organization collect, and how is
that information used?
Using ESRI technology, the City of San Bernardino collects various demographic data, including ethnicity, income levels, household information, and the number of residents without access to private transportation. This data is crucial in ensuring that the city's projects are tailored to the diverse needs of its community. Ethnicity data helps understand cultural diversity, enabling the city to design inclusive and culturally sensitive projects. Information on income levels identifies economically disadvantaged areas to prioritize projects and maximize impact on living standards and economic opportunities. Household data detailing size and composition is helpful in addressing the specific needs of different household types, from families with children to elderly residents.
Additionally, data on access to private transportation is important to plan accessible events and attractions, especially for those reliant on public transport. This demographic information, analyzed using tools like ESRI, enables data-driven decision-making, ensuring projects like Love Your Block are inclusive, equitable, and responsive to the community's unique characteristics, ultimately enhancing project effectiveness and encouraging community engagement.

16. Please describe how the eligible
organization has made grants to
community partners and residents in
the past. If the eligible organization has
not provided such grants, please
describe how you will implement such a
process and what, if any, support you
will need to do so, including partnering
with a city agency, nonprofit, or
university.
Historically, the City of San Bernardino has facilitated the provision of grants to community partners and residents through a structured and transparent process. This process typically involves an application procedure and competitive bidding, often realized through Requests for Proposals (RFPs).
The application process is designed to be accessible and equitable, allowing a diverse range of community organizations and residents to apply for funding. Applicants must provide detailed information about their proposed projects, including objectives, target populations, budgets, and anticipated outcomes. This ensures that the city has a comprehensive understanding of each proposal and can assess its potential impact and feasibility.
The competitive bidding process through RFPs is a critical component of the City's grant-making approach. RFPs are publicly announced, inviting interested parties to submit their proposals. These RFPs clearly outline the criteria and requirements for the grants, ensuring that all applicants are aware of the expectations and evaluation standards. The proposals received are then reviewed and evaluated based on these predefined criteria, which typically include project relevance, potential impact, feasibility, and alignment with the city's strategic objectives.
This "best practice" method ensures a fair and transparent selection process, where grants are awarded based on merit and alignment with the city's goals and priorities. It allows the city to support various initiatives, from community development projects to cultural and educational programs supporting diverse and impactful community engagement. Through this process, the City of San Bernardino's grant-making process supports impactful projects, encourages community involvement, and aligns with the city's broader goals of development and revitalization.

17. How will you ensure that residents
and community groups with limited or
no involvement are made aware of the
opportunity to apply for Love Your
Block mini-grants? What activities,
resources, or workshops do you plan to
make available for residents and
community groups to support them
during the application process?
To ensure that residents and community groups, particularly those with limited or no previous involvement, are made aware of the opportunity to apply for Love Your Block mini-grants, the City of San Bernardino will employ a multi-channel outreach strategy. This approach will combine digital and physical methods to reach the widest possible audience and encourage diverse participation. These methods include:
Physical Outreach at Community Events: The city will leverage existing community events to conduct outreach. Setting up information booths, distributing flyers, and engaging directly with attendees at these events will help reach residents who might not be aware of the mini-grants.
Economic Development Email Newsletter: Using the city's economic development email newsletter to disseminate information about the mini-grants will capture the attention of subscribers who are already interested in local development issues.
Collaboration with Community-Based Organizations (CBOs): Partnering with CBOs is crucial, as they often have established networks and credibility within various community segments. These organizations include Making Hope Happen: Uplift San Bernardino and Music Changing Lives to help spread the word and encourage applications from groups that might otherwise be unaware of the opportunity.
Involvement of City Council Members: City Council members will play a pivotal role in outreach, particularly within their districts. Their direct communication with constituents and participation in local events can significantly enhance awareness of the mini-grants.
Distribution of Flyers: Flyers will be used as an effective tool for reaching residents in various community spaces, such as libraries, community centers, local businesses, and schools. This ensures that information about the mini-grants reaches a broad audience, including those who may not have digital access.
Workshops for Application and Volunteering: Organizing workshops will not only inform residents and community groups about the mini-grants but also guide them through the application process. These workshops will be instrumental in demystifying the process and encouraging applications from groups who may be less familiar with grant applications.
Through this comprehensive outreach strategy, the City of San Bernardino will ensure that information about the Love Your Block mini-grants reaches all corners of the community, including those groups and residents with limited or no previous involvement in such initiatives. This approach is designed to cultivate inclusivity and encourage wide-ranging participation in the city's community development efforts.

18. Please describe the eligible
organization’s practices and
considerations around diversity and
inclusion when making grants to
community partners or residents. What
top lessons learned will you translate or
adapt to this grant? If this is a new
commitment, describe what best
practices and considerations you plan
to incorporate. We value learning, so
please highlight any shortcomings with
your past efforts towards diversity and
inclusion that you would improve or
address with this project.
In its commitment to diversity and inclusion, the City of San Bernardino has established specific practices and considerations when making grants to community partners or residents. This approach, which is continually evolving, reflects the city's dedication to fostering an inclusive and equitable community.
A key practice in the city's grant-making and contract award process is prioritizing local vendors, with a particular focus on supporting minority and women-owned businesses. This preference for local vendors not only stimulates the local economy but also ensures that the benefits of the city's projects are directly felt within the community. By actively seeking out and prioritizing businesses owned by underrepresented groups, the city demonstrates its commitment to leveling the playing field and promoting diversity in economic opportunities.
In translating these practices to the Love Your Block grant, the city plans to incorporate several lessons learned from past experiences:
Broadening Outreach: Recognizing that reaching a diverse pool of applicants requires intentional and varied outreach efforts, the city intends to use multiple channels and strategies to engage a wide range of community members, ensuring that information about the grant opportunities reaches underrepresented groups.
Simplifying Application Processes: To make grant opportunities more accessible, the city will simplify the application process. This includes clear, jargon-free guidelines and streamlined procedures, which are particularly important for smaller organizations or businesses that may not have extensive proposal-writing experience.
Capacity Building for Applicants: Offering workshops and support for potential applicants, especially targeting minority and women-owned businesses and organizations, can help build their capacity to successfully apply for grants. This not only aids in the current mini-grant process but also equips them with skills for future opportunities.
Incorporating Feedback Mechanisms: Establishing channels for feedback from past and potential grantees, especially from diverse community sectors, will help the city identify and address any shortcomings in its approach to diversity and inclusion.
Transparent Evaluation and Selection: Ensuring the grant evaluation and selection process is transparent and based on clear, objective criteria will build trust and credibility in the community.
The city acknowledges that there is always room for improvement in efforts towards diversity and inclusion. Past initiatives have highlighted the need for more targeted outreach and support for underrepresented groups, ensuring they are not only aware of grant opportunities but also equipped Exhibit A
Docusign Envelope ID: B2742B12-9CF5-40DE-B30D-1740D2808B8A to apply for them. By implementing these best practices and learning from past experiences, the City of San Bernardino aims to enhance its commitment to diversity and inclusion in its mini-grant-making for the Love Your Block initiative and beyond.

19. Please describe plans for sustaining
the project after the two-year grant
period. Indicate any relevant
conversations about future funding and
partnerships with the eligible
organization and community partners
such as community foundations, local
businesses, or universities.
The City's plan for sustaining the Love Your Block initiative beyond the initial two-year grant period will include future funding and strengthening partnerships. Particularly the possible use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which are specifically allocated for community development purposes, would be an ideal fit for continuing the initiative's objectives.
Additionally, the city will actively seek other grant opportunities, both from government and private sources, to secure ongoing financial support for the project. Collaborations with CBOs will continue to play a vital role, not only in providing manpower and local insights but also in accessing additional funding sources through their networks. These collaborations offer diverse sustainability benefits, from potential financial support to expert guidance and additional resources.
Finally, ongoing community engagement and advocacy will be crucial in maintaining support and interest in the project. Regular communication about the project's progress and its impact will be instrumental in attracting continued support from a variety of stakeholders. Through these strategic approaches, the City of San Bernardino will establish a solid foundation for the Love Your Block initiative to thrive and expand its positive impact in the community well into the future.

21. Please describe how the eligible
organization will recruit, manage, and
support the AmeriCorps VISTA member
and how the VISTA will support the
implementation of the project. Describe
how the eligible organization plans to
train, support, and deploy the
AmeriCorps member. Include the
organizational structure, where the
AmeriCorps VISTA will be placed in the
organization and to whom they will
report. Please include in the
organizational structure the office of the
mayor, city chief executive, and/or
department director. Please describe
how the VISTA will lead volunteer
recruitment and impact volunteering
through outreach, marketing
campaigns, building a social media
presence and other key activities.
AmeriCorps VISTA members’ time must
be used in accordance with the core
principles of the VISTA program to
improve lives, strengthen communities,
and foster civic engagement through
service and volunteering. Include any
information about previous experience
the city has had with AmeriCorps VISTA
members.
The City of San Bernardino has an existing structured recruitment process that involves collaboration between the Mayor's Office, Human Resources, Economic Development Staff, and CBOs to ensure wide dissemination of the employment opportunity to attract suitable candidates that are representative of the community.
Once recruited, the AmeriCorps VISTA member will undergo comprehensive training similar to other city staff, ensuring they are well-equipped to undertake their responsibilities effectively. This training will incorporate guidelines specific to their role and responsibilities within the context and core principles of the Love Your Block project, focusing on improving lives, strengthening communities, and fostering civic engagement.
The AmeriCorps VISTA will be integrated within the city's organizational structure, which includes the office of the mayor, the city chief executive, and the department director. They will report to the Economic Development Division Manager, who will ensure clear lines of communication and accountability. This organizational placement is designed to provide the VISTA with the necessary oversight and support while positioning them effectively to contribute to the project's goals.
The AmeriCorps VISTA will lead volunteer recruitment and impact volunteering through various activities, including outreach, marketing campaigns, building a social media presence, and collaborating with the Public Information Officer and marketing staff. Their role will be critical in amplifying the project's reach and engaging the community meaningfully.
The VISTA's efforts will be supported by managerial staff from key City departments, who will provide them with the necessary resources and guidance for training and implementing effective marketing and outreach strategies.
The City of San Bernardino has not yet had the opportunity to experience working with AmeriCorps VISTA members. This Love Your Block project will be an initial experience integrating AmeriCorps VISTA members into a project.

22. Please describe how the eligible
organization will recruit, manage, and
support the Love Your Block Fellow for
two years. Please describe how the city
plans to recruit, train, support, and
deploy the two-year Love Your Block
Fellow, including where the Fellow will
be placed in the organizational
structure, and who will supervise the
Fellow.
Implementing a similar recruitment process as previously mentioned for the AmeriCorps VISTA, the City will recruit, manage, and support the Love Your Block Fellow over a two-year period, focusing on leveraging local talent and expertise. The recruitment process for the Fellow will emphasize the importance of strong community ties, prioritizing candidates who are either current residents or have a longstanding connection to the neighborhood, coupled with a history of building local relationships. This focus will ensure that the Fellow is deeply rooted in the community they will serve, an essential factor for the role's focus on community engagement.
Upon selection, the Fellow will undergo training structured similarly to the City's internship program training to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge for their role. This training will be overseen by the Economic Development Department, which will also manage the Fellow's day-to-day activities. The Fellow will be placed within this department, working under the direction of the Economic Development Division Manager. This placement provides a clear line of supervision and support, crucial for the Fellow's effective integration into the city's organizational structure.
The primary responsibilities of the Love Your Block Fellow include developing and implementing a community engagement strategy and managing various program activities. The Fellow will be key in fostering participation and support for the Project, working closely with residents, community organizations, and other stakeholders. By focusing on candidates with strong community connections and providing them with training and support, the Fellow will significantly contribute to the success of the proposed Love Your Block project.
