City Council 26 – 483 5/3/2022
4. SCOPE OF WORK: 12 months (July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023) (3 page max)
1. Services Provided and Tasks to be Accomplished—Our proposed violence prevention programs, SHORTSTOP and STOP SHORT of Addiction, will provide at-risk youth and their families in Santa Ana with an evidence-based alternative to detention and out-patient substance abuse treatment. These crisis-support services are time-limited and culturally proficient.
SHORTSTOP and STOP SHORT of Addiction also works with youth and families to recover from the negative impacts of COVID-19.
SHORTSTOP is one of the oldest and most successful juvenile diversion programs in Orange County. For over 40 years, it has set youth offenders back on the right path by giving them the chance to learn from their mistakes and move forward without serving jail time or having a criminal record. It's a wake-up call that has proven to be extremely successful. In fact, studies show that not only are alternatives to detention cost-effective, but they are much more successful in creating long-term behavioral changes than incarceration.
SHORTSTOP has been professionally evaluated and identified as a science-based model for preventing delinquent activity/substance abuse among at-risk youth (Journal of Drug Education, 2005). It is not a scared straight program. While the program begins by giving youth a realistic view of the criminal justice system, the focus then shifts to helping youth set goals, explore their future, build healthy family communications, and develop effective peer-refusal skills. Services include:
—Clinical Intake (2 hours): The clinical intake assessment gathers valuable information about the youth's emotional stability, at-risk behaviors, drug history, impact of COVID-19, family dynamics and school functioning.
—Diversion Sessions (two, 3-hour sessions): Due to the pandemic, program sessions are held in the Project Youth OCBF offices (not the courthouses), where youth and parents receive a virtual tour of the courthouse and holding cell. They also hear from paroled convicts and participate in a trial simulation. Youth and parents then receive intensive legal education (including parents’ legal rights and responsibilities) and participate in numerous family-strengthening and communication exercises. Sessions promote personal responsibility, self-control, peer-refusal skills, parental monitoring, and school bonding.
—Mandatory Assignments: A critical part of SHORTSTOP is what happens at home.
Assignments include: reading decision-making and legal education materials, writing assignments (for example, how much their city pays to scrub out graffiti), goal-setting exercises, and interviewing a working professional to encourage exploration of future career paths. —Exit Plan and Case Management/Referral Services: At the end of the program, each youth and their family are provided with an individualized exit plan. As needed, clients are referred to our Intensive Case Management for up to 12 weeks, where they receive linkages to resources and longer-term supportive services. After a comprehensive assessment with the youth, a case manager develops an individualized service plan with the youth that identifies priorities, desired outcomes, and the strategies and resources to be used in attaining the outcomes. The case manager also works with youth to develop problem solving skills, participating in prosocial activities, anger management, job seeking skills, drug/alcohol refusal skills (when applicable), and communication skills (youth and parent/family), as well as parenting skills with the parent/caregiver.
Exhibit A
City Council 26 – 484 5/3/2022
Staff assist youth and family members to access additional wraparound services through our partner agencies. Youth and family members may also be referred to other Project Youth OCBF programs. Our new pilot program, ICAN! (Independence, Competence, and Aptitudes, Now!), assists at-risk, transition-age youth (ages 17-22) to identify their career interests and complete a vocational training program. The Higher Education Mentoring Program provides low-income, Latino youth with the academic, social and financial support needed to earn their college degree and enter the professional workforce. Project SELF (Summer Employment with Law Firms) offers paid summer internships at local law firms for low-income high school students. Madres Unidas (meaning Mothers United) provides evidence-based health education and risk-reduction services to Latinas. Our Youth Making Proud Choices! program offers evidence-based sexual health education services to youth to prevent pregnancy, HIV, and STIs.
Based on our evidence-based SHORTSTOP model, STOP SHORT of Addiction provides an alternative to incarceration and out-patient substance abuse treatment for youth drug offenders or drug users in Orange County. STOP SHORT of Addition is administered by bilingual/bicultural therapists, with assistance from trained legal experts, the sheriff’s coroner and local law enforcement narcotics officers. Guest speakers are also provided from the Youth Guidance Center and Volunteers on Parole. Services include:
—Clinical Intake Assessment (same as SHORTSTOP)
—Substance Abuse Treatment Sessions (three, 3-hour sessions): Sessions focus on providing legal education, healthy communication/coping skills, educational materials and helping youth maintain a drug-free lifestyle. Highlights include a virtual tour of the courtroom and holding cell, panel with incarcerated minors where they discuss how delinquent behavior and drug use led them to criminal activity and incarceration, a presentation from the county coroner illustrating the biological and psychological effects of drug abuse, group therapy, and a panel of recovered teens that discuss making the choice to stay drug-free.
—Mandatory Assignments (same as SHORTSTOP- plus attending two AA or NA meetings) — Exit Plan and Case Management/Referral Services (same as SHORTSTOP) Duration— Project Youth OCBF requests a grant period of two years. SHORTSTOP and STOP SHORT of Addiction are both ongoing programs, with new sessions starting every month. Services are offered in both English and Spanish in a culturally-appropriate manner.
Deliverables for the 12-month Grant Period—Objective 1: 60 youth and 80 parents participating in SHORTSTOP will each receive 6 hours of intensive legal education services.
Outcome: 75% of the youth and parents participating in SHORTSTOP will report increased legal education knowledge, as reported at program exit.
Objective 2: 60 participating SHORTSTOP youth will each receive 6 hours of diversion services.
Outcome: 85% of participating youth that complete SHORTSTOP will be diverted from the juvenile justice system.
Objective 3: 70 youth and 90 parents participating in STOP SHORT of Addiction will each receive 9 hours of intensive legal education services. Outcome: 75% of the youth and participating in STOP SHORT of Addiction will report increased legal education knowledge, as reported at program exit.
Exhibit A
City Council 26 – 485 5/3/2022
Objective 4: 70 participating STOP SHORT of Addiction youth will receive 9 hours of substance abuse treatment services. Outcome: 80% of participating STOP SHORT of Addiction youth will report reduced drug/alcohol use six months after completing the program.
Objective 5: 70 participating STOP SHORT of Addiction youth will receive 9 hours of diversion services. Outcome: 85% of participating youth that complete STOP SHORT of Addiction will be diverted from the juvenile justice system.
Objective 6: 130 youth and 170 family members will receive support services to alleviate the impact of COVID-19. Outcome: 95% of participants will report decreased stress, depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation.
Our most recent SHORTSTOP outcomes include (based on client reporting) • 95% of youth have not been rearrested within 6 months of completing the program • 75% of youth report decreased fighting with parents
• 75% of parents report improved communication with their child • 80% of parents report increased awareness of available community resources • 67% of youth report increased desire to attend college or vocational training • 100% of parents would recommend SHORTSTOP to another parent Our most recent STOP SHORT of Addiction outcomes include (based on client reporting) • 89% of youth have not been rearrested within 6 months of completing the program • 80% of youth report decreased substance use
• 57% of parents report improved communication with their child • 80% of parents report increased awareness of available community resources • 59% of youth report increased desire to attend college or vocational training • 100% of parents would recommend STOP SHORT of Addiction to another parent
2. Target Population—SHORTSTOP and STOP SHORT of Addiction serve youth, ages 12-18, and their family members. Parental participation is mandatory. Over the one-year grant period, we plan to serve 300 youth and family members from Santa Ana, a city disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. This includes 60 SHORSTOP youth and 80 parents, and 70 STOP SHORT of Addiction youth and 90 parents. (Qualified Service Tracts served: 743.00, 744.00, 744.03, 744.05, 744.07, 745.01, 748.02, 748.05, 748.06, 749.01, 749.02, 750.02, 750.03, 750.04, 755.14, and 992.48.) Youth will be referred by the Probation Department or by a Santa Ana referral agent for drug use, possession of alcohol and/or drugs, petty theft, burglary, assault and battery, truancy, possession of weapons, vandalism and other criminal offenses.
All youth are potentially at risk for delinquency and substance abuse, but Orange County’s Latino youth are particularly vulnerable. While they represent 47% of the county's youth, Latino’s account for 86% of teen mothers, 64% of high school dropouts, 92% of youth gang members, and 78% of youth probationers (Conditions of Children in Orange County, 2018).

1 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AND PADRES UNIDOS
FOR USE OF AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) FUNDS
This Agreement is hereby made and entered into this 3rd day of May, 2022, by and between the City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California (“CITY”), and Padres Unidos, a California domestic nonprofit corporation (“SUBRECIPIENT” or “CONTRACTOR”).
RECITALS:
A. The American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) was signed into law in March 2021. ARPA provides funding for a number of different programs, including the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (“SLFRF”), to provide monetary support to local governments to respond to, mitigate, and recover from the COVID-19 public health emergency.
B. On July 20, 2021, the Santa Ana City Council authorized the City Manager to utilize ARPA SLFRF funding from the United States Department of Treasury for the Revive Santa Ana Spending Plan, which includes five spending categories: recovery from the pandemic, direct assistance programs, public health and safety, critical infrastructure, and city fiscal health.
C. SUBRECIPIENT has been selected by the CITY to receive ARPA SLFRF Funds in order to provide youth programs, including: early childhood support; head start; day care; after school tutoring; athletic; and, youth violence prevention, in accordance with the Scope of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference (“said program”).
SUBRECIPIENT represents that it is qualified and willing to operate said program and certifies that the administration of said program carried out with funds provided under this Agreement will meet ARPA’s objectives to respond to, mitigate, and recover from this historic COVID-19 public health crisis.
D. SUBRECIPIENT agrees that it will adhere to the tasks and services as indicated in Exhibit A for said program. Failure to follow the requirements and meet the stated expectations may constitute breach of contract that could result in termination of this Agreement or serve as reason for the CITY to recapture the grant funds awarded to SUBRECIPIENT pursuant to this Agreement.
WHEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties that the foregoing Recitals are a substantive part of this Agreement and the following terms and conditions are approved and together with all exhibits and attachments hereto, shall constitute the entire Agreement between the CITY and SUBRECIPIENT:

2 to perform as required may, in addition to other remedies set forth in this Agreement, result in readjustment of the amount of funds for said program or termination of this Agreement.
B. Term of Agreement. The term of said Agreement shall commence on July 1st, 2022, and continue through June 30, 2023 (“Term”), unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(1) Reduction in ARPA SLFRF Funding. The CITY reserves the right to reduce the amount of ARPA SLFRF Funds to SUBRECIPIENT, or to completely terminate this Agreement, in the CITY’s sole discretion, if there is a reduction in ARPA SLFRF Funds provided to the CITY.
(2) Reduced Distribution of Funds. The CITY reserves the right to reduce the grant application if the CITY’s fiscal monitoring indicates that SUBRECIPIENT’s rate of expenditure will result in unspent funds at the end of the program term. Amendments in the grant allocation will be made after consultation with SUBRECIPIENT. (3) Reversion of Assets. SUBRECIPIENT agrees that any and all funds received under this Agreement shall be utilized during the Term of this Agreement, and that any and all funds remaining as of the end of the Term, which have not been utilized, shall be returned by SUBRECIPIENT to the CITY within thirty (30) days of the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement.

A longitudinal program evaluation including parents and children conducted by Chapman University, SAUSD and Padres Unidos utilizing Aeries tracking database and other instruments was conducted in July of 2018. Outcomes showed Padres’ three hours, one day a week program, supports early foundational learning.
Anticipated Outcomes and Competencies
Padres Unidos utilized the framework of the evidence-based Early Development Index (EDI) as the core of our competencies. Developed over the course of nearly 30 years, the EDI is a population-based measure of early child development and school readiness in five key domains: physical health, social Exhibit A

competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills, and communications skills and general knowledge. Padres Unidos’ modules target the five key domains in our Early Learning educational modules. By the end of the attended module, utilizing Pre and Post scores, children ages 2.5 to 4.5 years old will score statistically higher on their TK Foundational Skills Assessment and parents will have increased their level of competency in the areas identified by as core competencies to being a successful and engaged parent. These are measured by a self-report questionnaire administered during week 2 of the program and re-administered during week 25 utilizing self-reporting, observation and journaling. Padres Unidos utilizes a strengths and needs-based curriculum. Our areas of competencies include, but are not limited to: Love and Affection, Stress Management, Communication, Effective decision-making, Development of socio-emotional skills, Empathy , Relationship Skills, Autonomy and Independence Education and Learning, Life Skills, Behavior Management.
2. Proposal shall include details of the target population Our target population will include children ages one to five and their parents from very economically stressed neighborhoods in Santa Ana: Including but not limited to Delhi , Pico-Lowell, Minnie Street/Cornerstone Village, and Garfield. All three neighborhoods have high percentages of adults who did not attend or complete high school (57% to 67%). In these neighborhoods, 84% to 96% of people speak a language other than English at home (predominantly Spanish, but including Cambodian, and Hindi), The majority (56% to 68%) reporting that they do not speak English very well.
3. Proposal shall include details of the unmet need
Santa Ana is the most populous city in Orange County, and the 8th most densely populated urban city in the United States. According to the 2016 US Census, Santa Ana’s total population of 334,217 with 44.5% of adults, ages 25 or older without a high school diploma. Santa Ana is one of the youngest cities in the nation where children under 18 make up over 30% of its population. Roughly 32% of the city’s children under 4 years live below the poverty line. Only 44% of children achieve kindergarten readiness and only 22% of third-graders meet or exceed the CA literacy standards. Nearly one third of children under 4 years in Santa Ana, CA, live below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level—much higher than the national rate (21%). Children living in poverty are at greater risk for poor academic achievement, school dropout, and developmental delays. A lack of awareness and access to early childhood resources contributes to a sobering statistic: We estimate that roughly one-half to two-thirds of Santa Ana’s children 0-3 who need early learning supports are not accessing them.
Padres Unidos remains committed to addressing the unique parenting and educational challenges faced by low-income Hispanic Families in Santa Ana. We provide culturally and linguistically appropriate resources for families facing socio-emotional challenges and who are encountering a variety of selfdestructive behavioral and social issues within their communities. We focus our programs in high need communities, where many families suffer from housing instability, struggle to meet basic needs, and high crime rates. In addition, in many of the communities that we serve there are many immigrant families that struggle with acculturation, fear, and isolation.
4. Proposal shall include details of collaborations with local organizations Padres Unidos embraces the benefits and need for collaboration and partnership. Currently, we collaborate with several agencies, including schools and churches that host our programs, as well as organizational partners like the Santa Ana Unified School District, Restorative Justice, Orange County, Probation Department, Orange County Department of Education- ACCESS, Community Action Partnership of Orange County, First Five Orange County, local Boys and Girls club. and other local Santa Ana nonprofits. We have a unique partnership with Chapman University, which provides a community Exhibit A

Response Submitted by Padres Unidos- Early Childhood Support City of Santa Ana RFP 21-116A
advocacy training program for parent volunteers. We also team with Chapman and the University of California Irvine (UCI) for autism and special needs-related child developmental milestones, parent support and education modules. We continue to live our mission across Santa Ana with a unique service model that places us in a direct working relationship with the community. The community relationship is nourished by our Community Workers, former Padres Unidos patrons who are “homegrown” experts and trained through our collaboration with Chapman University.
5. Proposal shall include details of innovation in program/service delivery Our innovative approach capitalizes on the neighborhood channels that families know and trust which are engaged through Padres Unidos Community Workers. This strategy is designed specifically to reach past the cultural, linguistic, transportation, and other barriers that keep low-income families from accessing early childhood and development services. In addition, the majority of residents in the neighborhoods we service are foreign-born, though many of them have young children who are citizens. Our model is uniquely suited to impact this population because it relies on trusted informal connections. Our 8:1 ratio in combination with training of parents to work with curricula at home has proven successful in fomenting growth in the multiple areas of early development of the child. We walk with and encourage families to reach out to their local organizations and safety net system that can help them without fearing stigma or deportation.
Padres Unidos Unique and Innovative Program Delivery Aspects:
Utilizing a bio, psycho, social approach to our communities we leverage the strengths found within each family. First, our Outreach is an all-inclusive platform. In Padres Unidos, we define this as a series of informational and outreach strategies that extend the opportunity to all members to take-hold of a robust branch and become stronger, more vibrant part of our families and communities. These activities increase our range, closeness, and inclusion of school and community members who otherwise are non-responsive to the invitation to participate. Our approach aims to include members of the community and encourage them to be a part of the personal and academic success in their children’s lives. These activities include, but are not limited to: Coffee with parents, the Voice Campaign, the door-to-door initiative, Phone campaign, and a digital and printed literature approach. Second, the Support Platform is the essence that connects, sustains, and perpetuates the growth of children beyond the space and time provided by the Padres Unidos Programs. The combination of the support that is provided to encourage the implementation of change; and the development of a security net that is interconnected and engages the school, parents, and students as custodians and contributors for their personal and familial growth process are our weekly hand-in-hand community strengthening approach. Thirdly, The Educational Platform, is an all-inclusive, skill-building environment for our students where learning takes place. Our framework is an ongoing enrichment process to work on competencies identified by: a) members of Padres Unidos who have attended our classes for the past thirty years. b) For eleven years, the Department of Children and Family Services of Orange County supervised and supported our curriculum c) Educators and scholars from Chapman University College of Educational Studies for the past five years have collaborated with us as we refine our Educational Modules. Padres Unidos counts on a curriculum of 20 core classes and 148 additional topics that are selected based on the needs and choices of participants and the site educators. Another important aspect of our educational modules is our openness to the diverse learning styles of our students. Instead of operating in a hierarchical learning paradigm, we engage parents in an inclusive interactional learning experience.

B.

II. SCOPE OF WORK: (3 page max)
1. Proposal shall include details of the youth program/service to be provided, the tasks to be accomplished, duration of the program (proposals may be up to two years) and the deliverables to be provided
Padres Unidos’ proposed service delivery approach is based largely on our existing Outreach, Support and Education platform.
Youth and Parent Conjoint Family Education, Outreach and Support Module “24 weeks of service per program”
**3 SITES AVAILABLE FOR ONE YEAR**
• 2 weeks of Outreach, including two door-to-door campaigns in the area • 2 weeks of protective factors and risk factors assessments (from participants as well as local school)
YOUTH ENGAGEMENT AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION & PARENT CONJOINT OUTREACH, SUPPORT AND EDUCATION COMPONENT:
• Youth and Parent Outreach and Education a minimum of 15 participants, for 2 hours a day once a week for 20 weeks.
• 1 hours of Parent and Youth (separately) Support and Education component. • 1 hour of Teen and Parent Conjoint component.
• Parent curriculum is developed by leveraging existing research that shows that the more involved and engaged an adult is in the youth’s life the higher likelihood of success. The more engaged a parent is, the youth experiences a decrease in violent behaviors and an increase in prosocial behaviors. Topics include but are not limited to; functional vs. dysfunctional love, conflict resolution, family systems, and trauma/generational trauma, mental health and more. • Youth curriculum is developed leveraging Positive youth development (PYD), a strengths-based approach used to support the development of young people’s skills, nurture their interests and values, seek and incorporate their input, and connect them to positive adults and useful resources.
Topics include but are not limited to: friends, family, mental health, substance use, educational goals, trauma, life goals developments.
SIBLINGS OF YOUTH ENGAGEMENT AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION COMPONENT:
• 2 hours a day once a week for 20 weeks. Number of elementary school aged children sibling spaces allocated per program is 20.
• The curriculum for the sibling component is designed to increase support for siblings of high-risk youth. In order to increase the frequency of or improve the quality of prosocial interactions, as well as to improve emotional responding and reduce inappropriate and challenging behaviors, we create a safe and trusting environment for them to explore and share their experiences. This facilitates growth.
• Structured Play Child-Care included for 2 to 5 year-old children.
Padres Unidos has spent many years developing program curricula and materials using effective programs as a guide in crafting intervention, support and education programs that strengthen families. Starting with the experience garnered during the provision of services to families through contracts with the Orange County Social Services Agency and later the Santa Ana Unified School District and guided by a Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, the Parent Outreach and Education program is a highly effective intervention proven to strengthen families. The Parent Outreach and Education program includes a strengths and needs assessment at the outset of each class. Also, in order to provide data for Exhibit A
City Council 26 – 554 5/3/2022
Response Submitted by Padres Unidos
City of Santa Ana RFP 21-116A- Youth Violence Prevention
ongoing program evaluation, a questionnaire is distributed to parents at the start of the program in to determine the family situation. This includes questions relating to communication issues, discipline, parental supervision, knowledge and feelings about violence, the Juvenile Justice System and Probation and the level of parental involvement in the youth’s life. Each of these educational components come with a curriculum and materials to support the instruction of the topic. Our approach includes the implementation of activities to strengthen the lesson as well as homework assignments to reinforce and practice learned concepts. The homework forum provides a safe platform to practice and share experiences. This powerful tool clarifies and encourage both short and long term changes. The Parent and Teen Conjoint program has also been developed over many years using programs proven effective in lowering violence among youth, reducing recidivism, improving family communication and strengthening the relationship between parents and their teens. Some of the program content is drawn from Moral Reconation Therapy, an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral program that has been shown to reduce recidivism among youth and adults.
*All of our educational modules and components are able to be distributed virtually/online or with inperson instruction.
Anticipated Outcomes and Competencies
As a result of this program, we anticipate seeing improved communication skills, particularly the ability to share experiences and feelings respectfully and constructively, as well as increased knowledge of how to identify and change destructive/problematic behaviors. Because all members of the family will be attending the programs concurrently, we develop ways to deal with trauma and conflict effectively.
Parent, youth and siblings will learn to identify their strengths and parents will learn strategies necessary to de-escalate and take control of the emerging situations. Ultimately, this will strengthen parent-teen relationships and decrease the likelihood of engaging in violent/problematic behaviors by building on strengths in the family.

Proposal shall include details of the target population Our target population will include young people ages 11 to 17, their siblings and families from very economically stressed neighborhoods in Santa Ana: Delhi , Pico-Lowell, Minnie Street/Cornerstone Village, and Garfield. All three neighborhoods have high percentages of adults who did not attend or complete high school (57% to 67%). In these neighborhoods, 84% to 96% of people speak a language other than English at home (predominantly Spanish, but including Cambodian, and Hindi), The majority (56% to 68%) reporting that they do not speak English very well.
3. Proposal shall include details of the unmet need
Santa Ana is the most populous city in Orange County, and the 8th most densely populated urban city in the United States. According to the 2016 US Census, Santa Ana’s total population of 334,217 with 44.5% of adults, ages 25 or older without a high school diploma. Santa Ana is one of the youngest cities in the nation where children under 18 make up over 30% of its population. Roughly 32% of the city’s children under 4 years live below the poverty line. There is strong evidence that poor school performance, violent behaviors, truancy, and leaving school are connected with juvenile delinquency. As a result, these statistics are reflected in the percentage of Hispanic youth involved in criminal activity, including violent crime especially in communities like Santa Ana. According to the California Department of Justice Bureau of Criminal Information and Analysis statistics, Hispanic Youth represented 53% of all juvenile arrests. Education and strong family ties could help to reroute this pipeline to jail for the youth of Exhibit A

our local communities. Youth violence is a significant problem that affects thousands of young people each day, and in turn, their families, schools, and communities.However, siblings of incarcerated or difficult youth are often overlooked. In fact, no one is sure how many children bear this particular burden. It is estimated that 200,000 youth are incarcerated every year, leaving an even greater number of siblings at home. Even with such a large number of children affected, very little research or resources are devoted to the siblings of incarcerated youth. A study conducted by sociologist Katie Heaton addresses this very point. She writes that these youth are the “most often overlooked” of those affected by incarceration. Non-offending siblings face high amounts of “emotional stress”, partially stemming from issues like “bullying by other students who discovered their sibling’s imprisonment, adjusting to new household roles and routines, complex feelings of ambivalence related to their sibling’s safety, visiting their brother or sister, and having their sibling return home after an extended period away.” Unfortunately, these children are overlooked by society.
4. Proposal shall include details of collaborations with local organizations Padres Unidos embraces the benefits and need for collaboration and partnership. Currently, we collaborate with several agencies, including schools and churches that host our programs, as well as organizational partners like the Santa Ana Unified School District, Restorative Justice, Orange County, Probation Department, Orange County Department of Education- ACCESS, Community Action Partnership of Orange County, First Five Orange County, Boys and Girls Club. and other local Santa Ana nonprofits. We have a unique partnership with Chapman University, which provides a community advocacy training program for parent volunteers. We also team with Chapman and the University of California Irvine (UCI) for autism and special needs-related child developmental milestones, parent support and education modules. We continue to live our mission across Santa Ana with a unique service model that places us in a direct working relationship with the community. The community relationship is nourished by our Community Workers, former Padres Unidos patrons who are “homegrown” experts and trained through our collaboration with Chapman University.
5. Proposal shall include details of innovation in program/service delivery We utilize an approach that balances personal accountability and mutual assistance in the following relationships: neighbor-to-neighbor, parent-to-youth, government-to-resident, youth-to-community, and community- and faith-based-organization-to-member. By leveraging the entire community system and bringing everyone to the table we provide early intervention. A young person can be involved with youth violence as a victim, offender, or witness. Youth violence is preventable. To prevent and eliminate violence and improve youth well-being, Padres Unidos employs evidence-based, comprehensive approaches that address the multiple factors that impact violence, both factors that increase risk of violence and factors that buffer against risk and promote positive youth development and well-being.
Prevention, intervention, and treatment strategies that are trauma-informed are key. Many youths have experienced traumatic events, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse; family and community violence; natural disasters; and the ongoing, cumulative impact of poverty, racism, oppression, and the COVID pandemic with all of its socio-emotional and economic consequences. Repeated exposure to traumatic events increases the risk of youth violence. Organizational trauma-informed care that is grounded in an understanding of the causes and consequences of trauma can promote resilience and healing, while reducing youth violence. We walk with and encourage families to reach out to their local organizations and safety net systems that can help them without fearing stigma or deportation.

B.

SCOPE OF WORK
19 City Council 26 – 589 5/3/2022
SCOPE OF WORK
The Cambodian Family – Plan Ahead Youth Program (July 1st, 2022 – June 30th, 2023) Detailed description of youth program/services to be provided Plan Ahead Youth Program (PAYP) will provide academic tutoring and extra-curricular educational services to a total of 90 low-income and underserved youth and parents in Santa Ana per year, including 60 youth (1st – 12th grades) through activities that are organized around our four well integrated institutes aligned with local school district educational trends, and 30 parents of our youth with parenting skills, economic empowerment workshops, and resources to better support and become more active in their children's education. Due to the on-going pandemic, PAYP activities will take place virtually after school, Tuesday through Friday, from 3:30-6:00 PM and/or in-person (when it is safe to do so) at The Cambodian Family Community Center, and on Wednesdays, from 1:00-3:30 PM at the Minnie Street Family Resource Center (MSFRC), our community partner and a "One Stop Shop" that provides services and support systems that build on family strengths. Prosocial and enrichment activities are sometimes held on Saturdays from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Youth attend our program year-round, an average of 6-8 hours per week.
Staff and volunteers are bilingual in Khmer (Cambodian), Vietnamese, or Spanish. Youth can also participate in our Summer Enrichment Program which generally takes place from June to August. All activities will be led by a partnership of program staff and volunteers. Youth will participate in activities that are organized around four institutes: Academic, Leadership, Career, and Health. Parents will participate in workshops and activities that help them develop better skills to provide for, nurture, and communicate with their children and be involved with their children’s education.
Within the Academic Institute, we will help youth develop a strong foundation in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) subjects, build on their reading and writing skills, support them in improving overall academic performance, graduate high school, help plan their paths toward college, and persist toward becoming lifelong learners. To achieve this, youth counselors will provide after-school tutoring by integrating a variety of positive social emotional learning (SEL) and brain-boosting techniques that simultaneously enhance their individual learning relationships with youth and support youth’s engagement with their academic learning experiences. PAYP will give students access to our virtual services and our community center (when appropriate) that provides students a safe space to learn and do schoolwork. The center is equipped with personal protective equipment, computers, high-speed internet, printing, Wi-Fi, an interactive SMART board, school and art supplies, WiFi Hotspots, Chromebooks and tablets for individual check-out, and a small library to support their learning. Our organization has secured 20 devices with pre-installed/pre-paid internet for students to borrow during our regular program hours. Staff will continue to work closely with volunteers to provide tutoring for daily homework assignments and projects. We will provide workshops that enable our youth to study more effectively and become more independent in their ability to learn, solve problems, and acquire skills. We will continue to partner with local university students to help students prepare for SAT classes, understand the college application process, learn the differences between public/private/trade schools, and learn ways to pay for school. Staff will also provide counseling sessions to help students achieve their goals.
Within the Leadership Institute, we will help youth develop leadership and social skills, improve self-esteem, and character strengths, and nurture their passion for community engagement. We will provide Life Skills classes that address “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Exhibit A 20
City Council 26 – 590 5/3/2022
People”, 6 Pillars of Character, communication skills, using technology responsibly, digital literacy, peer pressure, bullying, conflict resolution, generational differences, and cultural diversity. We have classes that foster students’ interests in the areas of athletics, music, and arts and crafts. Students will also be required to volunteer and lead service projects for the community which will give them a sense of self-empowerment.
Within the Career Institute, we will help youth make informed decisions about their futures by considering their college and career options. We will offer career readiness services by hosting career guest speakers, financial literacy education classes, career research projects, mock interviews, and resume writing workshops that will help them explore, understand, and apply academic and career skills to become more independent problem solvers and proactive planners. We will team up with college students to take youth on field trips to local colleges and universities to tour and motivate them about the benefits of higher education and its gateway to a wider range of career options.
Within the Health Institute, youth will develop a healthy living lifestyle. Youth will have the opportunity to engage in at least 30 minutes of daily exercise during recreation time.
During life skills classes, we will engage youth in interactive activities that teach them about good nutrition and how to cook healthy food. To promote exercise, students will have access to sports classes on-site. We will also have quarterly trips to go hiking, camping, or other recreational activities. In addition, we will host health workshops on the benefits of nutritious food, oral health, germ-spread prevention, and living an active lifestyle.
To increase the likelihood of the youth's success, we strongly believe that parents must be involved in their children's education. To achieve this objective, we will hold monthly parent meetings to teach parents about the school system, benefits of higher education, best practices to support their children’s education, developmental milestones, preventive health, strengthening family functioning, technology use, and how to maintain stronger pathways to economic and financial stability. We will refer them to ESL classes, job opportunities, nutrition classes, and community resources. We will provide opportunities for them to become actively involved in PAYP activities and encourage them to participate in school functions. Because we understand that communicating and working with parents is vital to their children's success, our staff are highly accessible to parents. We can run our monthly parent meetings in multiple languages to cater to the different needs of our clients. We evaluate and improve the structure, curriculum, and activities in our program each year to ensure we are providing the best services to the families we serve.
Target Population:
The populations to be served through PAYP are underserved and low-income youth (1st – 12th grades) and parents in Santa Ana, with a focus on underserved youth and parents from Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Latinx communities. The residents within our service areas are mainly Latino and Cambodian families who came to this country with little or no formal education, speaking no English, and possessing few marketable job skills. As uprooted peoples, they remain socially-isolated and economically-challenged, as they struggle to adjust and provide for their families. Our services offer guidance and support to many of Santa Ana's families seeking help with navigating the educational, health, and legal systems. For Cambodians in particular, there are few service providers who speak their language (Khmer) and understand their history and culture. We provide critical in-language resources to many monolingual community members as well as connect them with other community support services.

Staff maintain files for all program participants, and this includes demographic information, income verification, attendance and participation records, report cards, award certificates, and behavior notes. Success in our youth program is measured quarterly, or every 3 months. Within the Academic Institute staff measure the improvement of school report grades from quarter to quarter by establishing a baseline GPA or other SAUSD specified benchmark from their most recent report cards and track for any improvements on a quarterly basis.
Pre/posttest surveys are also collected on a quarterly basis to track for improvement in successful habits for lifelong learning. Success in the Leadership Institute is measured by youth completing 3 or more hours of community service or by demonstrating improved test scores on pre/posttest surveys on 1 or more leadership workshops Success in the Career Institute is measured by youth attending 1 or more career guest speaker presentation, college tours, or educational workforce development/financial education workshops. Lastly, success in the Health Institute is measured by youth maintaining a "B" or higher in their Physical Education grade, participating in fitness activities 1 or more hour per week, or demonstrating improved test scores on pre/posttest surveys on 1 more health workshops per quarter. We judge youth as overall successful when they are successful in 2 or more of the 4 institutes per quarter. Parents are considered successful if they participate in at least 2 parent meetings/training per quarter (we host monthly parent meetings) or donate at least 3 hours of their time back to the youth program per quarter. To measure progress in workshops and lessons for all institutes, we distribute pre/post-tests and/or immediate post-test surveys to measure if they are “passing” or if there is an increase of their knowledge on the lesson. Other methods we use are self-evaluations and surveys to assess progress on aspects harder to quantify such as whether students and parents feel more hopeful of their futures. We use our existing Microsoft Access database program and/or Survey Monkey to record and evaluate all program data.

TOPIC: Resolution Approving the Acceptance Grant Funds from the State of California AGENDA TITLE:
Resolution Approving the Acceptance of Grant Funds from the State of California in the Amount of $4,000,000 to the General Fund
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the acceptance of grant funds from the State of California in the amount of $4,000,000 to the General Fund for the Zoo Educational Hub and installation of a Universally Accessible Playground at Thornton Park.
DISCUSSION
Senator Tom Umberg has secured funding in this year's (FY 2021-22) state budget tailored to addressing the unique and unprecedented challenges facing Orange County communities.
The state budget is a series of important funding and policy decisions voted on through several budget bills. In preparation for this round of negotiations, Senator Umberg collaborated with local and statewide leaders and other members of the legislature to deliver millions of dollars of relief to communities. Through the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and several other hurdles, he diligently working to help bring muchneeded and deserved funding to local programs in the 34th Senate District.
As part of the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 State of California budget, Senator Tom Umberg was able to secure $6,040,000 in General Fund monies for the City of Santa Ana ($4,000,000) and Discovery Science Center Orange County ($2,040,000) for Santa Ana youth facilities. The State will enter into agreements separately with both agencies. Below is a summary of the City of Santa Ana projects that will be funded.
Zoo Education Hub: “The Hive” - Education Hub Building at Santa Ana Zoo The project goal is a building including a flex space, classroom(s), and hub for community volunteers and education staff. The classrooms are flexible in design and layout to maximize their use potential throughout the day and year. The facility would use environmentally sustainable materials in its construction. This facility will serve as a reception area for schoolchildren coming to the zoo and is directly adjacent to the existing City Council 27 – 1 5/3/2022
Resolution Approving the Acceptance of Grant Funds from the State of California May 3, 2022
outdoor amphitheater. Different sides of the building will open out to the general zoo area, the amphitheater, or staff and service areas.
Universally Accessible Playground at Thornton Park
The City of Santa Ana’s first Universally Accessible Playground installation at the George Upton All Access Park (one acre-site) located within Thornton Park will include equipment specially designed to enable children of all abilities to play alongside each other. All children, regardless of physical limitation, should be able to enjoy the fun that comes along with playing on a playground. Kids love to play, and no child should be prevented from having fun at the playground by a physical handicap. This playground will replace the current 30-year-old playground with failing equipment and deteriorating parts.
The City must enter into an agreement with the State of California to access the funds for both projects. Part of the process for creating the agreement is the completion of a Project Information Packet, of which includes the resolution under consideration. City staff will bring to the City Council, at a future meeting, an appropriation adjustment for funding, once the agreement is created and executed, as well as amendments to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the two City projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Although at a future meeting, once an agreement is executed between the City of Santa Ana and the State of California, an appropriation adjustment will be brought before City Council for approval.

TOPIC: Assembly Bill 361
AGENDA TITLE:
Use of Teleconferencing for Meetings of City Council and All Boards, Committees, and Commissions Pursuant to the Provisions of Assembly Bill 361
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to consider continuing the use of teleconferencing for City Council, board, committee, and commission meetings pursuant to the provisions of Assembly Bill 361 for the next 30 days.
DISCUSSION
On March 17, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain provisions of the Brown Act in order to allow legislative bodies to conduct their meetings completely telephonically or by other electronic means. City Council meetings have been conducted by Zoom with councilmembers and staff all joining from remote locations when necessary.
The suspension of certain provisions of the Brown Act was further extended by Governor Newsom on June 11, 2021 by the issuance of Executive Order N-08-21, which continued to allow completely virtual City Council (and other legislative body) meetings. This order stayed in effect until September 30, 2021.
In response, AB 361 was signed into effect by Governor Newsom on September 16, 2021.
It amends the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to meet virtually, provided there is a state of emergency, and either (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or (2) the legislative body determines by majority vote that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees.
The City of Santa Ana’s current practices with respect to live public comment via Zoom already satisfy all of the new requirements in AB 361. Additionally, the individual legislative bodies can make their own findings for the AB 361 telecommuting resolution for City Council 28 – 1 5/3/2022

future meetings. Determinations to continue to utilize remote meetings as allowed by AB 361 must be re-visited by the legislative body every 30 days with the support of new findings. Staff recommends this extension period to act as a helpful transitional stage for boards, committees, and commissions who still currently meet virtually.
Most recently on April 5, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-026, making the required findings under AB 361 to allow the City to continue to offer teleconference accessibility for public meetings after September 30, 2021, to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The attached resolution (Exhibit 1) declares additional findings to allow for the continued use of teleconferencing for City Council, board, commission, and committee meetings pursuant to AB 361.

TOPIC: Child Marriage Laws
AGENDA TITLE:
Resolution Calling Upon Our State Legislators to Introduce and Pass a Bill that Would End Child Marriage
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution calling upon our state legislators to introduce and pass a bill that would end child marriage.
DISCUSSION
Background
During the City Council meeting on March 15, 2022, Councilmembers Mendoza, Lopez, and Phan directed staff to prepare a resolution to call upon our State legislators to introduce a bill that would end child marriage in California. There was consensus among the City Council to support this item.
Statistics from both the California Department of Public Health and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey indicate that child marriages have been steadily declining over the last couple of decades at the state and national level, but there continues to be 44 states that allow child marriages (defined as a marriage where one or both of the individuals is 17 years and younger). Since 2018, six states have banned child marriages without exceptions.
As it stands, California is one of nine states that has no minimum age for child marriage when all exemptions are taken into account. These circumstances include the consent of a court clerk or judge, consent of one of the parents or legal guardians of the minor, if one of the parties is pregnant or has given birth to a child, or if the minor is emancipated.
Existing California Law
Current California law requires the parents and partners of minors wishing to marry to meet with court officials separately to determine if there is any coercion. Additionally, minors have to wait 30 days to get married unless they are 17 and have completed high City Council 29 – 1 5/3/2022
