1. Experience/Qualifications
StandUp for Kids OC (SUFK OC), founded in 2003, is located at 1055 El Camino Dr. Unit E, in Costa Mesa, CA. SUFK OC is one of 16 chapters belonging to the national non-profit corporation StandUp for Kids, founded in 1990, in San Diego. The organization and all of its chapters share a common mission to end the cycle of youth homelessnes s. The SUFK national office provides the local chapters with back­ end support including fundraising registrations , insurance, and webs ite maintenance. The national headquarters location is 200 Nelson Ferry Road, Suite B Decatur , GA 30030. Major cross streets are W Ponce de Leon Ave. and Nelson Ferry Road , Decatur , GA. StandUp for Kids Orange County is located at 1055 El Camino Dr. Unit E, in Costa Mesa, CA. Major cross streets are Fairview Road and Baker Street, Costa Mesa, CA. Hours of operation include 24/7 crisis hotline support, youth nightly access, and M-F staff hours 8 AM-5PM. The facility is centrally located near the 405 Freeway and Fairview Road for easy access by youth. There is a kitchen and pantry where we provide meals, snacks and emergency kits. There is ample space for studying with computer access and a large room for group meetings and meals.

The SUFK OC average annual operating budget is $1,200,000. Funding Sources include Governmental-

43.6% , Corporate- 11.9%, Private Donors- 10.9%, Foundations- 11.9%, Fundraising Events- 10.8%, In­ Kind- 7.9%, Civic/Religious /Other- 3%.

SUFK OC employ s 13 professional staff, all located in the Costa Mesa, CA office. They have a combined 55 years of experience serving exclusively homele ss and at-risk youth. See the SUFK OC Organization Chart in attachment CC-2. SUFK OC also employs 100+ trained volunteers that serve as mentors and tutor s and support SUFK OC programs and operations. The volunteer workforce provided 7,000 hours of service in 2024.

SUFK OC, founded in 2003, has extensive experience providing youth programs in Orange County. We provide 4 key services for youth: 1) Street Outreach , 2) Housing Support, 3) Mentoring including Work Experience and Job Training, and 4) Food Access. In 2024, we served 1,784 youth across 28 OC cities (31 % in Santa Ana). We serve homeless and at-risk school-age youth in 45 OC schools over the past 2 years, plus we serve homeless students on campus, at 2 OC Commu nity Colleges. In the past 5 years, we successfully completed over 25 government contracts; we met all service goals, expended all funds and had no audit findings.

Over 21 years serving Orange County, we have seen thousands of youth move from crisis to self­ sufficiency. We have seen hundreds of homeless and at-risk school-age youth achieve high school graduation and become independent adults. In 2024 alone, SUFK OC served 1,782 youth, with 31 % in Santa Ana. 100% of our mentored school-age youth graduate high school (237 enrolled in 2024) and 97% of our mentored youth, aged 18-24, remain stably-hou sed and self-sufficient at 1 year (343 EXHIBIT 3

CITY OF SANTA ANA
emolled). To our knowledge , no other organization achieves these outcomes. Key to our success is to ensure each youth remains stably employed tlu-ough appropriate job training and placement.

2. Proposed Program
The SUFK OC proposed program addresses all 14 WIOA elements through two p1ima1y mentoring programs: "Journey to Self-Sufficiency" (JTS) for youth aged 18-24 (established in 2003), and "Road Map to Success" (RMTS) for school aged youth ( established in 2014 ). The prima1y goal of JTS is for each youth to remain stably housed and self-sufficient at one year. For school age youth, reconnected to secondary education, the goal is to graduate high school and successfully transition, post-graduation, to college, trade school, or viable work. In our experience, youth require at least 6 months to complete the mentoring program s, as they need time to develop the emotional assets, life skills and job skills to remain independent , long-term.

The JTS cunicu lum has 5 stages outlined below:

Stage I: Basic Needs (housing, food, healthcare , transpo1tation, etc.) Stage 2: Employment Readiness (ID, resume, professional attire, labor market condition s/needs, and employment goals)
Stage 3: Employment Retention (professional etiquette, timeliness, job skills, internships, occupational training, GED, college ent1y)
Stage 4: Financial Awareness (budgeting, banking, credit, taxes, saving) Stage 5: Personal skills & home management (leadership development, community service, decision making, personal bounda1ies, communication; cooking & homemaking/maintenance; rental, leases & deposits).

Youth may also be re-connected to a secondary high school program. The RMTS curriculum for school­ age youth is similar to JTS and also has 5 stages:

Stage 1: Basic Needs and Stable Housing,
Stage 2: Education Stabilization ,
Stage 3: Employm ent Preparation and Employment Retention , Stage 4: Personal Management and Financial Management, and Stage 5: Post-Graduation Preparation.

Youth ages 16 and up may paiticip ate in the "Work Activation Readiness Program" (WARP) providing work expe1ience and job training that leads to viable work. The Work Activation Readiness Program (WARP) provides work expe1ience and occupational h·aining to prepare youth for the future workforce.

Our community business paitners that provide work experience and occupational trainin g to mentored youth include Bracken 's Kitchen (Culinary), Seabreeze Management Company (Property Management), Sentii Institute (Aime d Guard, Secmity Guard), Norooz (Health Clinic) , Greenlight Cyber (Cyber Secmit y Company). Youth employm ent goals may includ e pursuit of higher education or trade school. To that end, we help youth navigate challenges associated with college/trade preparation, college entry and financial aid. Once in college or trade school, we help them stay on the path to graduation.

All youth that choose to enter the SUFK OC ment01ing programs receive full wrap-aro und support. They obtain access to supportive services including medical care, counse ling, rehabilitation services, legal supp01t , credit repair, education, and transpo1tation. Youth receive assistance with rent, appropiiate clothing, food, hygiene and household items, as needed.

EXHIBIT 3

CITY OF SANT A ANA
Three of the five stages above address employment and job retention including Employment Readin ess, Employment Retention and Financ ial Awareness. The case manager monitors the youth's progress towards their specific educational and vocational goals. The Emp loyment Navigator and the mentor guide the youth through the job skills and leadership training. They provide the youth with resources, guidance, and linkage to community suppo1ts, including work experience, occupationa l training and educationa l resources (i.e. GED or post-secondary school enrollment). Internships and occupational training target transition age youth with little to no p1ior work expe1ience. The Employment Readines s stage of ITS , ensures each youth is thoroughly prepared for the work experience that best meets the youth's experience and employment goals. The internship teaches basic skills they will need to be successful in the workforce and provide s expe1ience to help refine their educationa l and vocationa l goals. SUFK OC internship s cover a va1iety of interests, including Administration, Culinary A1ts, and Prope1ty Management. SUFK OC sponsored internship s are l O weeks long with a maximum of 15 hours a week. Youth receive wages , with a maximum of $20/hour. Alternatively , youth may choose to receive a stipend to participate in an occupationa l training program, becoming ce1tified as either an Aimed Guard, Secmity Guard, or Cyber Security Specialist. In all cases, the preparation and guidance provided by the SUFK OC Work Activation Readiness program s, assists youth in making a successfu l transition to regular employment, apprenticeship , trade placement, or post-secondary education. In addition, youth have access to jobs and training oppo1tunities available through CalJOBS.

The SUFK OC mentoring program s include measurable benchmarks that direct each youth through the necessary steps toward independent living. Our mentors serve as a guide, and provide each youth a stable, healthy, trnsting , adult relationship. In addition, they help the youth establish personal goals, overcome obstacles, identify and build on their strengths and obtain the self-confidence needed to maintain a producti ve life. We believe that the key to our success is the relationship developed between the youth and their adult mentor. The mentor provides the youth direction, support , encouragement , and accountability while the youth develops a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging , and empowe1ment. Over the past 21 years, the JTS cw1iculum and mentor model , has proven successfu l in helping thousands of at-risk OC youth gain independence. Notably, the ITS cuniculum and mentor model is being adopted county-wide for use with transition-aged youth (TAY) (16---24 years old) experiencing homelessness.

The Case Manager monitors youth progre ss throughout the mento1ing program , using both benchmarks and milestones. Benchmarks are built into the ITS program , marking completion of key stages and activities, for example , completing a life skills course, preparin g a resume or conducting a job interview.

Milestone s are personal goals set by the youth such as obtaining a driver's license, drug rehabilitati on, family reunification or college entrance. Both benchmarks and milestones are c1itical to maintain accountability and build youth confidence throughout the program. We also measure internal assets (self­ esteem, social connections, etc.) through a survey taken du1ing intake and repeated after 6 months, using the Youth Asset Survey, which is widely used across the U.S. and known for high reliability.

3. Population
The total number of youth that will be served by this grant is 20 (plus additional youth dw-ing Street Outreach and Screening). Youth will range from age 16-24. Youth considered for intake to the Santa Ana program will be screened for specific qualifications including, resident of Santa Ana, age 16-24, autho1ized to work in the U.S., Compliance with Selective Service Act (males 18+), and Out-of-School as defined by WIOA. Since 2003, StandUp for Kids OC, has a mission to end the cycle of youth homelessness , one youth at a time. We specifically target homeless, runaway , foster , justi ce involved, and other at-risk youth. SUFK OC programs described above were designed to serve at-risk youth populations.

CITY OF SANT A ANA
SUFK OC has a proven recruitment approach. The SUFK OC Street Outreach program targets homeless and at-risk youth, ages 16-24, through weekly street outreach and th.rough local refe1rnl paitners including law enforcement, schools, youth organizations, hotlines, plus healthcare, foster care, and social service agencies (e.g., SA Youth Service Navigator). We comb underserved neighborhoods across Santa Ana, where homeless, runaway , and other at-risk youth hang out. We provide water, food, clothing, hygiene products and safety info1mation. 70% of the youth we meet make contact with SUFK OC, and of those, 85% engage in our mentoring program to get off of the street. In 2024, SUFK OC received 977 calls to our crisis hotline from street youth and refe1nls. In 2023-2024, 128 Santa Ana youth aged 16-24 enrolled in the SUFK OC mentoring programs. We conduct a thorough screening over the phone to dete1mine eligibility for services and immediate needs. A refe1rnl may be made, such as medical treatment, supportive housing, behavioral health program , or other assistance program for adults over age 24. In these cases we conduct a soft handoff with another service provider. SUFK OC established Street Outreach services over 20 years ago, in 2003. We now provide a Street Outreach program in 10 cities across OC. Youth considered for intake to the Santa Ana program will be screened for specific qualifications including, resident of Santa Ana, age 16-24, authorized to work in the U.S., Compl iance with Selective Service Act (males 18+ ), and Out-of-School as defined by WOIA.

Our recruitment program includes the following outreach elements:
• Bilingual outreach campa ign targeting at-risk youth and young adults through flyers, social media, and community events.
• Maintaining strong working relationships with Santa Ana Youth Service Providers Network members.
• Providing outreach materials at local shelters, food banks, schools , social service agencies, and paiiner organizations to expand awareness of the SUFK OC services and services provided through this grant.
• Attend city-hosted events and network meetings to strengthen relation ships with stakeholders and identify potential youth refe1rnls.
• Strengthen relationships with our cunent co1mnunity business partner s that provide work experience and occupational training to mentored youth including Bracken 's Kitchen (Culinary), Seabreeze Management Company (Prope1ty Management ), Sentri Institute (Armed Guard, Security Guard), Norooz (Health Clinic), Greenlight Cyber (Cyber Security Company). • Develop new business pa1iners that provide work experience and occupationa l training for mentored youth.
• Maintain strong relationships with local Santa Ana referral sources such as law enforcement, schools, medical facilities, youth organizations and social service agencies.

Our recruitment plan described above will fulfill the requirement of enrolling 80% of youth by the 2nd quaiier of the program (December 31, 2025). In 2023 -2024 we successfully enrolled 128 Santa Ana Youth, aged 16-24, in the SUFK OC mento1ing programs.

4. Assessment
StandUp for Kids OC will assess youth in several ways outlined below.

1. We use the online Test for Adult Basic Education (T ABE) assessment tool or the CASA to help dete1mine educational and employment goals.

2. We measme internal assets (self-esteem, social connections, etc.) to dete1mine emotional attributes and EXHIBIT 3

improvement using the Youth Asset Survey, applied at intake and after 6 months in the program. The Youth Asset Survey is widely used across the U.S. and known for high reliability.as their assessment tools. We set a goal for each youth to improve in one internal asset upon re-assessment.

3. Youth are assessed for vulnerability and risk factors using the TAY Vulnerability Index - Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI- SPDAT) (Balagot et al., 2019), a nationall y-recognized instrument that collects information on functioning, vulnerability , cmTent and past trauma, and any co­ morbidity issues.

4. We also use the Adolescent Coping Scale (Frydenb erg & Lewis, 1998) to evaluate their ability to use productive coping strategies.

5. The Case Manager assesses youth progress throughout the mentoring program, using both benclunarks and milestones. Benchmarks are built into the JTS program, marking completion of key stages and activities, for example, completing a life skills course, preparing a resume or conducting a job interview. Milestones are personal goals set by the youth such as obtaining a driver's license, dru g rehabilitation , family reunification or college entrance. Both benchmarks and milestones are critical to maintain accountability and build youth confidence throughout the program. Our SUFK OC mentors serve as a guide, and provide each youth a stable, healthy, ttusting , adult relation ship. They help the youth establish personal goals, overcome obstacles , identify and build on their strengths and obtain the self-confidence needed to achieve and maintain a productive life.

6. At the 12 month check-in (and beyond for SA), we assess whether the youth remains stably housed, gainfully employed, and self-sufficient. Our goal is l 00% of youth successfully meet this target. In 2024, 97% of our mentored youth remained stably housed and self-sufficient at their 12 month check -in.

Our goal is for each client to ultimatel y find themselves in a sustainable and healthy situation. Once youth are in a sustainable, healthy situation, we support them for potential setbacks, relapses , new instances of homelessness and other challenges. Therefo re, we don't ever back out of their lives. We determine a comfor1able set of services, counseling, and other suppor1s that a youth needs at a given point in time. All youth are encourage d to remain connected to SUFK-OC staff for the long term, and many youth in the program continue this relationship for many years and even become mentors themselves.

9. We assess two specific outcomes for youth re-connected to secondary education. The primary outcomes are to graduate high school and to become well established, post-graduation in college, trade school or viable work. In 2024 l 00% of our mentored school age youth achieved these goals.

SUFK OC serves a diverse population, primaril y BIPOC , and youth with mental disorders and traumas.

Our mentoring programs assume that the youth have severe obstacles to overcome. SUFK OC's staff have a combined 55 years of experience serving homele ss and at-risk youth in OC and Santa Ana. We provide the most comprehen sive care possible , with extensive training in positive youth development , trauma-informed method s, behavioral health, coping strategies, and harm reduction education to assist youth in overcoming obstacles. In addition, SUFK OC maintains an extensive network of referrnl agencies and community service provider s that ensures youth receive comprehensive wrap-around support to overcome the specific obstacles they face ( e.g., legal, financial, educational, behavioral, mental health, substance abuse, trauma, pregnancy , etc.).

5. Paid & Unpaid Work Experience
StandUp for Kids Orange County operates the Workfor ce Activat ion Readiness Program (WARP) to increase the number of gainfully employed 16-24 year-old transition age youth in Orange County . Our program provides job skills training, employment navigation , paid internships , paid occupational training, and educational suppor1 in order to ensure youth achieve their academic and employment goals.

Youth ages 16 and up may participate in the "Work Activation Readiness Program" (WARP) providing EXHIBIT 3

work expe1ience and job training that leads to viable work. Our community business paitners that provide paid work expe1ience to mentored youth include Bracken's Kitchen (Culinary) , Seabreeze Management Company (Property Management), Norooz (Health Clinic), and Greenlight Cyber (Cyber Security Company). Youth may also receive a stipend to complete a ce1tificate through SentJi Institute (Aime d Guard, Security Guard). Youth employment goals may include pursuit of higher education in post­ secondary institutions or trade schools. To that end, we help youth navigate challenges associated with college/trade preparation , school qualification/enhy and financial aid. Once in college or trade school, we help them stay on the path to graduation.

We also assist youth in the WARP program to access available paid and unpaid job training programs as well as job oppo1tunities through a wide va1iety of services including CalJOBS, Job Corps, and other OC job training providers and employment data bases.

Our paitners, along with our refeirnl paitners offer a wide range of oppo1tunities for youth work experience, including those qualified under WIOA:

1. Summer employment oppo1tunities and other employment opportunities available throughout the school year.

2. Pre-apprenticeship prograins. Pre-apprenticeship is designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in an apprentices hip program. Pre-apprenticeship programs include the following elements:
a. Training and cunicu lum that aligns with the skill needs of employers in the economy of the state or region involved.
b. Access to educational and career counseling and other suppo1tive services, directly or indirectly. c. Hands-on, meaningful learning activities connected to education and training activities. d. Oppo1tunities to attain at least one industiy-recognized credential. e. A paitnership with one or more registered apprenticeship programs that assist in placing individuals who complete the pre-apprenticeship program in a registered apprenticeship program

3. Internships and job shadowing. Job shadowing is a temporaty , unpaid exposure to the workplace in an occupationa l area of interest to the participant and may last anywhere from a few hours to a week or more.

4. On-the-job training (OJT) opp01tunities. OJT means training by an employer that is provided to a paid paiticipant while engaged in a job that meets the following criteria:
a. Provides knowledge or skills essential to the full and adequate perfonnance of the job. b. Is made available through a program that provides reimbursement to the employer of up to 50 percent of the wage rate of the participant or up to 75 percent in circumstance of extraordinary costs of providing the training and additional supervision related to the training. c. Is limited in duration to the occupation for which the paiticipant is being trained, taking into account the content of the ti·aining, the prior work expe1ience of the paiticipant, and the service strategy of the paiticipant as appropriate.

Note that our pattner Norooz Health Clinic provides work expe1ience in the Healthc are field and our pa1tner Greenlight Cyber provides training in the Cyber Security field. These oppo1tunities prepare youth for work in high demand industries.

Youth employment goals may include pursuit of higher education in post-seconda1y institutions including college or ti·ade schools. To that end, we provide stipends and we help youth navigate challenges associated with college/trade preparation, school qualification/entry and financial aid. Once in college or trade school, we help them stay on the path to graduation. Post-secondary education often includes training EXHIBIT 3

6. Alternative Secondary School Services
StandUp for Kids OC is committed to preventing drop-outs. With 30,000 homeless school-age youth in Orange County (2023 Grand Jury Estimate), only 70% will graduate. Youth that do not graduate are 85% more likely to become homeless adults. The 2023 grand ju1y concluded that we would not solve adult homelessness until we address the youth homeless ctisis in Orange County. We believe it is critical to re­ connect youth to secondaiy education and to prevent drop outs. Since 2014, SUFK OC mento1ing services include the "Road Map to Success" (RMTS) for school aged youth. The primai·y goal of the program is for each youth to graduate high school and successfully transition, post-graduation , to college, trade school, or viable work. In our experience, youth require at least 6 months to complete the mentoting pro grains, as they need time to develop the emotional assets, life skills and job skills to remain in school, and become independent, long-tetm.

The RMTS cun-iculum has 5 stages outlined below:

Stage 1: Basic Needs (housing, food, clothing, healthcare , counseling, transpo1tation, etc.) Stage 2: Education Stabilization ( educational goals, attendance, tut01ing) Stage 3: Employment Readiness and Retention (ID, resume, professional attire, labor market conditions/needs, employment goals, professional etiquette, timeliness, job skills, internships, occupation al training)
Stage 4: Personal/Life Skills (leadership development, community service, decision making, personal boundaries, and communication)
Stage 5: Post Graduation Preparation ( college and/or employment planning , housing, donns , rentals, leases, deposits, homemaking, maintenance, financial awareness including budgeting, banking, credit, taxes, saving).

Over the past two years, SUFK OC has provided RMTS mento1ing services to 48 schools across Orange County. Under contract with the City of Santa Ana (2023-2024), we worked with homeless students on 5 high school campuses (Chavez HS, Valley HS, Century HS, Godinez and Lorin Griset Academy). Under contract with the County of Orange, we served the Santa Ana Access students at Mary's Academy and Santiago Creek. 100% of youth enrolled in RMTS graduate (237 OC youth enrolled in 2024) and 57% of those enroll in post-secondaty e ducation.

7. Preparation for Postsecondary Education and Training StandUp for Kids OC mentoring programs provide a specific step for "Employment Preparation". This includes assessing skills and aptitudes, conducting workshops to survey in-demand occupations , and providing work expe1ience to build skills, gain exposure and explore future employment opp01tunities.

Youth employment goals may include higher education in post-secondary institutions including college or trade schools. To that end, we provide stipends and help youth navigate challenges associated with college/trade preparation , qualification/entry and financial aid. Once in college or trade school, we help EXHIBIT 3

them stay on the path to graduation.

We cu1Tently pmtner with two post-secondary institutions, providing on-campus mentoring and tutoring at Saddleback Community College and Goldenwest College. This ensures that at-iisk youth remain safely housed, self-sufficient and complete their post-secondary education. We collaborate closely with school counselors that advise youth on career pathways that lead to in-demand occupations.

Specific pathways that we use to ensure youth are prepared to obtain a career or occupation that provides a livable wage include assessing skills and aptitudes, conducting workshops to survey in-demand occupations, and providing work expe1ience to build skills, gain exposure and explore future employment opp01tunities. In addition, we provide ment01ing and tuto1ing for school age youth to help them establish and achieve their employment and educational goals. 100% of our mentored school age youth graduate and of those, 57% enroll in post-secondary education.

Specific occupational surveys used in the SUFK OC workshops include: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment Development Depa1tment Labor Market Projections, and California Community Colleges OC Strong: Economic and Occupation Projections for Orange County.

There are several ce1tificates that can be earned within 1 year of exit from the program. They include:

General Education Degree (GED)
Armed Guard
Secmity Guard
Cyber Security Specialist
See Attachment M for Letters of Intent from our paitner training agencies.

8. Tutoring
Youth who score 8.9 and below are considered "basic skills deficient " (from T ABE or CASS). All basic skill deficient youth will receive tutoring or remedial training to improve their literacy and numeracy skills. First, we encourage all youth to complete their high school education or GED. Youth that re­ connect with their secondary education may enroll in the RMTS mentoring program desc1ibed above.

SUFK OC employs over 100 trained mentors and tutors that help the youth achieve their educational goals, including high school graduation, obtaining a GED, or pursuing post-secondary education.

In addition, SUFK OC refers youth to specific resources to improve their skills, including the following:
1) ESL classes,
2) GED programs,
3) Adult Education courses,
4) High School and Co1mnunity College (college preparation classes), and 5) On-line skills courses.

9. Mentoring
SUFK OC specializes in youth mentoring throu gh two primar y mentoring programs: "Journey to Self­ Sufficiency" (JTS) for youth aged 18-24 ( established in 2003), and "Road Map to Success" (RMTS) for school aged youth (established in 2014). The p1imary goal of JTS is for each youth to remain stably housed and self-sufficient at one year. For school age youth, reconnected to secondary education, the goal EXHIBIT 3

is to graduate high school and successfully transition, post-graduation , to college, trade school, or viable work. In om experience, youth require at least 6 months to complete the mentoring programs, as they need time to develop the emotiona l assets, life skills and job skills to remain independent, long-tenn.

The JTS cuni.culum has 5 stages outlined below:

Stage 1: Basic Needs (housing, food, healthcare, transpo11ation, etc.) Stage 2: Employment Readiness (ID, resume, professional attire, labor market conditions/needs, and employment goals)
Stage 3: Employment Retention (professional etiquette, timeliness, job skills, internships, occupational training, GED, college enh·y)
Stage 4: Financial Awareness (budgeting, banking , credit, taxes, saving) Stage 5: Personal skills & home management (leadership development , conununity service, decision making, personal boundaries, conununication; cooking & homemaking/ maintenance ; rental, leases & deposits).

Youth may also be re-connected to a secondary high school program. The RMTS cuni.culum for school­ age youth is outlined below:

Stage 1: Basic Needs (housing, food, clothing, healthcare, counseling, transpo11ation, etc.) Stage 2: Education Stabilization ( educationa l goals, attendance, tutoring) Stage 3: Employment Readiness and Retention (ID, resume , professional attire, labor market conditions/needs, employment goals, professional etiquette, timeliness, job skills, internships, occupationa l training)
Stage 4: Personal/Life Skills (leadership development , communit y service, decision making, personal bouncla1i.es, and communication)
Stage 5: Post Graduation Preparation ( college and/or employment planning , housing, dmms, rentals, leases, deposits, homemaking , maintenance , financial awareness including budgeting, banking , credit, taxes, saving).

All youth that choose to enter the SUFK OC mentmi.ng program s receive full wrap-around suppo11. They obtain access to suppo1tive services including medical care, counseling, rehabilitation services, legal supp011, credit repair, education, and transpo1tation. Youth receive assistance with rent, approp1i.ate clothing, food, hygiene and household items, as needed.

Youth ages 16 and up may pat1icipate in the "Work Activation Readiness Program" (WARP) providing work expe1i.ence and job training that leads to viable work. The Work Activation Readiness Program (WARP) provides work expe1i.ence and occupational h·aining to prepare youth for the future workforce. Youth employment goals may include pursuit of higher education or trade school. To that encl, we help youth navigate challenges associated with college/trade preparation, college entry and financial aid. Once in college or trade school, we help them stay on the path to graduation.

The Case Manag er monitors youth progres s throughout the mento1i.ng program, using both benchmarks and milestones. Benchmarks are built into the JTS program, marking completion of key stages and activities, for example , completing a life skills course, preparing a resume or conducting a job interview.

Milestones are personal goals set by the youth such as obtaining a driver's license, drug rehabilitation, family reunification or college entrance. Both benchmark s and milestones are critical to maintain accountabi lity and build youth confidence throughout the program. We also measure internal assets (self­ esteem, social connections, etc.) through a survey taken during intake and repeated after 6 months , using the Youth Asset Survey, which is widely used across the U.S. and known for high reliability.

SUFK OC trained mentors serve as a guide throughout the mentoring program. They provide each youth a stable, healthy, tlusting, adult relationship. In addition, they help the youth establish personal goals, overcome obstacles, identify and build on their strengths and obtain the self-confidence needed to maintain a productive life. We believe that the key to our success is the relationship developed between the youth and their adult mentor. The mentor provides the youth direction, suppo1t, encouragement, and accountability while the youth develops a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and empowe1ment.

Over the past 21 years, the JTS/RMTS cmricu lum and mentor model, has proven successful in helping thousands of at-risk OC youth gain independence. Notably, the JTS cwTiculum and mentor model is being adopted county-wide in OC for use with transition-aged youth (TAY) (16-24 years old) expe1iencing homelessness.

We serve exclusively youth as their needs are unique compared to adults. They typically have little life experience, no work expe1ience, limited education, and recent trauma. Last year, 38% of youth we rep01ted mental health problems, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, suicidal ideation, and substance addiction. 14% had dmg or alcohol abuse issues and 26% rep01ted being subject to domestic violence. 27% had children, and 22% were in foster care. Over half of the girls we served expe1ienced human trafficking, rape, and/or pregnancy.

We provide suppo1t for all youth facing challenges such as trauma, addiction, behavioral issues and mental health challenges. SUFK OC staff and volunteers receive continuous training in order to provide the most comprehensive care possible and ensure the use of best practices. Training includes crisis intervention, trauma-inf01med care, adverse childhood expe1iences, implicit bias identification, mental/behavioral health, positive youth development, social-emotional learning, coping strategies and haim-reduction education. In addition, we maintain an extensive refetTal network for youth needing special care for addiction recovery, behavioral issues, and mental health disorders. In these situations, we will provide a soft handoff to the provider and in some cases, cover the youth's healthcare expenses, as needed.

Through coordinated training and collaboration with om refe1rnl paitner s, we are able to address the unique needs of many subpopulations of youth who ai·e expe1iencing homelessne ss, have mnaway, or ai·e at-1isk, including, but not limited to the following: 1) youth who are pregnant or parenting; 2) system­ involved youth, to include juvenile justice and child welfare; 3) labor and/or sexually trafficked or exploited youth; 4) youth with addictions and substance abuse issues, 5) youth with mental disorders; and 6) other vulnerable populations (e.g., ttiba l youth, LGBTQIA2S +, and youth with disabilities).

SUFK OC will provide Civ ic Engagement and Leader ship Development training and activities for all youth enrolled in ITS (up to 20) as part of this grant. The training and activities are a prut of the ITS cwTiculum provided to youth aged 16-24. The training includes workshops and oppottunities for leadership development through civic engagement and volunteerism. As prut of the mentoring prog:rrun, we help youth to identify social connections in their co1mnu.nity through civic engagement, volunteering, spott or school. Volunteering is highly encouraged in order to lerun social responsibility and to make social connections in their community. We also provide oppo1tunities for youth exiting the SUFK OC mentoring progrrun, to volunteer with our organization through outreach, tutoring, mentoring, fundraising, and administration. Many of our "graduates" return to SUFK OC as volunteers, staff, and advisors.

SUFK OC offers workshops and training in Leadership, Employment, Education, Vocational Training and Entrepreneurship. The workshops and courses ru·e designed for youth that are evaluating future employment oppottunities and preparing for full time employment. The courses ru·e offered as prut of the Employment Readiness and/or Employment Retention stages of the ITS ment01ing progrrun. 11 . Suppo1tive Services
SUFK OC provides suppo11ive services to all youth enrolled in the SUFK OC mentoring programs.

Supp011ive services includ e basic needs (food , clothing , hygiene), housing suppo11, healthcare, behavioral/mental health , counseling , legal aid, cred it repair, housing navigation, employment navigation , and transpo11ation (bus pass , gas cards , ride share).

We maintain close relationship s with housing providers across Orange County. This include s relationships with loca l youth shelters (e.g. Waymakers , Robyne's Nest , Mercy House, and Casa Youth Shelter) to provide temporary housing for mentor ed youth. The SUFK OC Housing Navigators maintain relation ships with housing providers across Orange County which we draw upon for transitional and permanent housing for youth. Youth in suppo11ed housin g receive weekly deliveries of food, hygiene, and household products. Youth may receive tapered rental suppot1, as needed, once they complete the JTS program, are stably employed, and petmanently housed.

We maintain agreements with many agenc ies acros s OC that pro vide supp011ive services to mentored youth.

The SUFK OC Case Manager refers pa11icipants to services such as medi cal ("Serve the People" in Santa Ana and "Families Together" in Tustin and Garde n Grove) , mental health (OMIC, APAIT), emp loyment (OneStop Centers , OCAPICA) , identification services (Oran ge County Clerk/Recor der), transp011ation (OC Transit Authority) , education (County Office of Education and multiple school districts, community colleges and universities (EOPS office , GED , and vocation al program s), Federal, State, local, and private assistance including Medi-Cal and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) , Women , Infants and Children (WIC) , State Unemploym ent Insuran ce, Social Secmity Disability Insuran ce (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and the General Relief Program (GR).

Communit y coordination and collaboration are key to providing wrap-around suppo11ive services to vulnerable youth. We collaborate with man y county-wide agencies to identify at-risk youth as early as possibl e, including OC2 l l , the OC TAY (Tran sition Aged Youth) Collaborative , and the Orange County Human Traffickin g Task Force. We coordinate services through the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) and its Coordinated Entry System (CES) and refer client s to CES's participating agencies including emergency shelters, transitional living, rapid re-housing, and/or pe1manent suppo11ive housing resources.

The CoC and the Coordinated Entr y System (CES) involve many orga nizations serving vulnerable youth with the goal of impro ving the effic iency and qualit y of our unified effo11s across Orange County. SUFK OC EXHIBIT 3

is a partner agency participating in the Coordinated Entry System's Weekly Match Meetings to ensure the most vulnerable youth receive housing first.

See our Suppo1tive Service Policy in Attachment N.

12. Incentives
SUFK OC will provide incentives to youth for accomplishing program benchmarks or personal goals. Incentives may include special activities ( e.g. group outings or field trips), gift cards, and formal recognition such as award ce1tificates. The benchmarks we acknowledge within our mentoring program include school graduation, ce1tificates earned/WEX completed, JTS stages completed, JTS/RMTS "graduation" , and permanent housing "move in day". We typically provide incentives geared toward the following outcomes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Grades in school
Attendance in school
Becoming Employed
Consistently attending workshops or coaching sessions for 4+ weeks Developing and presenting a personal career plan or goal sheet Showing leadership in a group activity or mentorin g a peer ( occasionally) See the SUFK OC Incentive Policy in Attachment 0.

13. Follow-Up Services
SUFK OC will provide follow-up services to youth pa1ticipants 12 months after exit. Exit is defined as any patticipant who has a termination (or program "graduation") date within the qumter and has not received any WIOA service for 90 days, except follow-up, and there are no future services scheduled, that patticipant has "exited" for the purposes of pe1formance measurement. Follow-up documentation will be provided 1 si, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quaiter after exit.

When a youth "graduates" the JTS program , they are permanently housed and self-sufficient; and they are no longer receiving WIOA services. The JTS mentoring program s take on average, 6 months to complete after intake. Upon completion of the program, the SUFK OC mentor will typically connect with the youth monthly for the first 6 months and qumterly for the remainder of the follow-up year. With each connection , they will ensure that the youth remains stably housed and self-sufficient.

Our goal is for each client to ultimately find themselves in a sustainable and healthy situation. Once youth are in a sustainable, healthy situation, we suppo11 them for potential setbacks, relapses, new instances of homelessness and other challenges. Therefore , we don't ever back out of their lives. We determine a comfo1table set of services, counse ling, and other suppo1ts that a youth needs at a given point in time. All youth are encouraged to remain connected to SUFK OC staff for the long term. Many youth in the program continue their relationship as volunteers themselves.

During the follow-up period , the SUFK OC Case Manager will continue to provide case management, suppottive services, and incentives, as needed. Support services may include housing supp011 (tapered), housing navigation and relocation services and employment navigation services, as needed.

The Case Manager and Mentor will work together to ensure youth meet the Perfo1111ance Indicators for the follow-up period. In each of the past 5 years, over 95% of om mentored youth in the JTS program remained stably housed and self-sufficient at their 12 month check-in. Therefore, we are confident, that youth who enroll in the JTS program, through this grant, will graduate and meet all the Perfmmance Indicators for each follow-up period. At the end of each quaiter , the Case Manager will work with the Billing and Compliance Manager to prepare the quaiterly reports and submit them to the appropriate personnel.

14. WIOA Perfonnance Indicators
By enrolling youth in the proven SUFK OC JTS/RMTS mentoring programs described above, youth will excel at achieving the WIOA Perfonnance Indicators (Scope of Services Exhibit 1) including:

I. Percent of participants who are in education or training or unsubsidized employment during the 2nd quait er after exit.

2. Percent of paiticipants who are in education or training or unsubsidized employment during the 4th quaiter after exit.

3. Document the median earnings of participants in unsubsidized employment during the 2nd quaiter after exit.

4. Percent of pa1ticipants who obtain recognized postsecondary credential or secondary diploma during paiticipation or within 1 year after exit.

II. General Procedures for Handling Non-Criminal Violations of the Act The following procedure is promulgated to meet the requirements of Title 20, of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 186 through 188 of the WIOA regulations, and Section 181 of the Act (Public Law 105.200: 29 U.S. Code Sec. 2931 et seq.) at the State and LWDA level for the receipt, investigation, hearing, and resolution of complaints by WIOA participants, sub 6 EXHIBIT C

recipients, applicants for participation, or financial assistance, labor unions, community based organizations, or any other persons.

These procedures provide for resolution of non-criminal complaints arising from the operation of the Santa Ana LWDA.

A complaint is defined here as a written expression by a party alleging a violation of the Act, regulations promulgated under the Act, recipient grants, sub agreements, or other specific agreements under the Act, including terms and conditions of employment of such participants in employment training programs. All complaints, amendments and withdrawals shall be in writing. These procedures are intended to resolve matters which concern policies, procedures or action(s) arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by each LWDA grant recipient and sub recipient under the Act.

These procedures shall not be construed as affecting any other available legal remedy outside of the WIOA complaint process (i.e., disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a participant), either separately or simultaneously, that a person may wish to pursue in the resolution of a non-WIOA complaint. Also, these procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion Procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion and resolution of any problems outside of and without resort to the formal complaint procedure.

A. The following principles and rules apply to all complaints at all steps of the complaint procedures:

1. All complaints must be made in writing within 180 days of the alleged occurrence, except complaints alleging fraud or criminal activity.

2. All persons filing a complaint shall be free from restraint, coercion, reprisal, or discrimination. Good faith efforts shall be made to informally resolve the complaint prior to the scheduled hearing. Complainants have the right to withdraw their complaints (in writing) at any time prior to the hearing. A complainant may amend his/her complaint to correct technical deficiencies but not to add issues.

3. Complainants shall have the right to be represented at their own expense by person(s) of their choosing at all levels of the complaint process.

4. Upon enrollment into employment or training, participants shall be provided with a written description of these procedures, including notification of their right to file complaints and instructions for filing.

An employer of participants, including private-for-profit employers of participants, may use this or other complaint resolution procedures so long as the participant is informed of the complaint resolution procedure they are to follow and the time frames governing review of complaints are met.

A "participant", within the meaning of these procedures, is an individual who receives employment-training services under a program funded by Santa Ana LWDA. The Complaint Resolution Procedures contained herein (or the alternative procedures which an employer may use) shall be available to participants to resolve disputes regarding items and conditions of employment of such participants in employment training programs. However, such procedures shall not be used to resolve disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a participant, as defined herein.

5. If a complaint does not receive a decision at the LWDA grant recipient level within 60 days of filing the complaint or receives an unsatisfactory decision, the complainant then has a right to request a review of the complaint by the Governor.

6. Complainants must initially file and exhaust LWDA grant recipient/hearing procedures prior to appealing to the State except where the State determines that the LWDA grant recipient's procedures are not in compliance with the State's procedures.

Ill. Procedures for Handling Complaints at the LWDA Level A. Receipt Complaints
Pursuant to the WIOA regulations found at 20 CFR, Section 683.600, the LWDA administrative entities have the responsibility to conduct hearings and resolve complaints made by individuals about the administration of programs in the LWDA. "LWDA level" encompasses LWDA administrative entity and employers to which the administrative entity has delegated the complaint resolution process. The following comprise the guidelines for resolving issues arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by the Santa Ana LWDA including resolutions of complaints arising from actions, such as audit disallowances or the imposition of sanctions taken by the Governor with respect to audit findings, investigations or monitoring reports.

1. Form and Filing of Compliant
Official filing date of the compliant is the date the written complaint is received. The filing of the complaint with the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunity Officer shall be considered as a request for hearing and a decision must be issued within 60 days.

The complaint must be in writing and must be signed and dated. The complaint should also contain the following information:
a. Full name, telephone number, if any, and mailing address of the complainant; b. Full name, telephone number, and mailing address of the agency involved (respondent); c.

7/1/2025

e. Remedy sought by the complainant; and
f. If the complainant is a private or public entity or corporation, and not a natural person, the filing of the complaint must be duly authorized by the governing body of such entity or corporation.

The absence of any of the requested information shall not be a basis for dismissing the complaint.

A copy of the complaint must be sent to the respondent and both parties notified of the opportunity for an informal resolution. At each step of the complaint process, the complainant must be notified in writing of the next procedural step.

2. Informal Conference
Informal conferences will be utilized by the Santa Ana LWDA to resolve complaints; however, such informal conferences shall not extend the time within which a decision must be issued after receipt of a complaint. Attempts at informal resolution will commence with two (2) weeks of the date of filing of the complaint. a. The EEO Officer will review the case and ascertain facts prior to the conference so that appropriate resolution can take place at the time of this meeting whenever possible. b. Although the complainant should be encouraged to attend this conference, his/her failure to do so should not preclude his/her right to request a hearing on the matter. c. If mutually satisfactory resolution results and the Santa Ana LWDA concurs, the EEO Officer will write a brief report for the file stating the issues and resolution. The matter shall then be considered closed.
d. If resolution does not result, the complainant shall be provided the necessary information and assistance to request a hearing if he/she so desires.

3. Request for Hearing
a. As in the case of the complaint, the request for a hearing should be put in writing and be filed in person or by mail. A governing board resolution of authorization to appeal should also be submitted when appropriate. The request should be filled with:

b. A hearing will be scheduled by the EEO Officer within thirty (30) days of the date of filing of the complaint.

4. Notice of Hearing
Upon receipt of the request for hearing, the complainant and the respondent will be notified in writing of the hearing ten ( 10) calendar days prior to the date of the hearing.

The ten-day notice may be shortened with the written consent of the parties. A decision will be issued by the Santa Ana LWDA within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the complaint.

The hearing notice shall be in writing and contain the following information:
a. The date of notice, name of the complainant, and the name of the party against whom the complaint is filed.
b. The date, time and place of hearing before an impartial hearing officer. c. A statement(s) of the alleged violation(s)
d. Advise as to where information or assistance may be obtained, and the name, address, and telephone number of the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO) Officer who can answer inquiries.

B. Conduct of Hearing
The hearing shall be conducted in an informal manner with strict rules of evidence not applicable. Unnecessary technicalities should be avoided. It should provide the flexibility to enable adjustment to the circumstances presented.

1. The hearing officer shall have complete independence to obtain facts and make decisions. The hearing officer shall be in a position to render impartial decisions and thus should not be subordinate to the Santa Ana LWDA or its sub recipients. The hearing officer will be selected from a list of names on file with the EEO Officer.

2. Full regard must be given to the requirements of due process to insure a fair and impartial hearing.

3. The hearing office designated by the EEO Officer to function in a quasi-judicial capacity should begin the hearing by summarizing the record and the issue and should explain the manner in which the hearing will be conducted, making sure that everyone involved understands the proceedings. Such explanations should be adapted to the needs of the specific situation. The hearing officer might take testimony under oath or affirmation to give some assurance of veracity to the hearing.

4. The burden of proof should be reasonable and flexible, dependent upon the circumstances of the case involved. The hearing officer determines the order of proof.

Generally, the party making the complaint has the obligation of establishing his or her case and should be examined first.

5. The party involved should have the right to be represented (at their own expense) if he/she so desires. Other he/she is limited to his/her own abilities and those to the hearing officer in obtaining testimony in the case.

6. It is important that the hearing officer obtain the fullest information for the record. If the parties involved, or their representatives, do not know how to ask the right or pertinent questions in pursuing their right to due process, it shall be necessary for the hearing officer to step in to have all the materials and relevant facts elicited.

7. The practice in informal hearings is generally not to apply strict rules of evidence in obtaining facts. However, the quantity of evidence required to support a decision on an issue should be sufficiently credible that the state ( or other appropriate agency), upon reviewing the decision, would conclude that the decision is supported by substantial evidence.

8. The hearing officer should attempt to negotiate a resolution of the issue at any time prior to the conclusion of the hearing.

9. Within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a recommended decision to the LWDA for final determination. The recommended decision shall be in writing and may be accepted, rejected or modified by the Santa Ana Workforce Development Board.

C. Issuance of Decision
Within sixty (60) calendar days of filing of the complaint, the Santa Ana LWDA shall issue a written decision to all parties by first class mail. The final decision shall contain the following information:

1. The name of the parties involved.

2. A statement of the alleged violation and issues related to the alleged violation.

3. A statement of the facts.

4. The decision and the reasons for the decision.

5. A statement of corrective action, if any, to be taken.

6. Notice of the right to request, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the decision, a review of the decision by the State Review Panel.

D. Record of Hearing
An administrative file containing support documents on the complaint resolution process hearing conducted will be retained by the Santa Ana LWDA. The purpose of a record is to serve as substantiation of the process followed by the Santa Ana LWDA on the resolution of the issues and the results. This information would then be available for subsequent review in the event the matter is raised with the State. Such records must be retained for a three­ year period after the grant has been officially closed out.

The Santa Ana LWDA's written decision will be included in the record. Evidence received at the hearing, notes by the hearing officer, stenographer's notes and tape recordings may also be used.

E. Establishment of Complaint Procedures
In accordance with Section 683.600, each employing agency including private-for-profit employers of participants under the Act is required to establish a complaint procedure for resolving matters relating to the terms and conditions of employment. Employers may operate their own grievance system or may utilize the Santa Ana LWIDA's established procedures under Section 683.600. At a minimum these procedures must include:

1. Written notice, upon enrollment into employment training services, of the scope and availability of such procedures. Employer's grievance procedures shall be set forth in a written document and must meet the regulation mandate that a complaint will be resolved with sixty (60) days from the date the complaint was filed. A copy of employer's grievance procedure shall be provided to each participant upon enrollment in employment training.

2. Written notice, at the time the grievance is filed, of the procedures under which the grievance will be processed.

3. Written notification of the disposition of the grievance and a written decision shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the filing of the grievance unless a present and long established grievance specifically provides other limits; and

4. Written notification of the participant's right to request a review of the employer's decision by the Santa Ana LWDA and the State Review Panel in accordance with Section 683.600.

RE: RFP NO. 25-019 Youth Service Providers
~tandUp ~ ... Por kids

ORA NGE COU NTY
StandUp for Kids Orange County (SUFK OC) is pleased to present this proposal for Santa Ana Youth Service Providers. The goal of the program is to deliver a Workfor ce Innovat ion & Opportunity Act (WIOA) youth program for Santa Ana youth between the ages of 16-24 that are out-of-school with a focus on providing paid work experience and/or WIOA defined credentials. Our proposal supports 20 qualified youth over the contrac t period, July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, at a total cost of $200,000.00.

Qualified out-of-school youth will participate in the SUFK OC "Journey to Self-Sufficiency" (JTS) youth mentoring program including our "Work Activation Readiness Program" (WARP) that provides a pathway to independence; ensuring each youth gains the job skills to remain stably emp loyed in viable work. Youth who choose to enter the SUFK OC program receive full wrap-around support. They obtain access to supportive services including medical care, counseling, legal support , credit repair, education, and transportation. Youth receive assistance with rent and appropr iate clothing, food, hygiene and household items, as needed. Youth participate in our five-step Journey to Self-Sufficiency (JTS) curriculum that guides them through the steps to become productive, self-sufficie nt community members. In our experience, young adults require at least six months to complete the 5 stages below:

Stage 1: Basic Needs (housing, food, transportat ion, etc.) Stage 2: Employment Readiness (ID, resume, professional attire, labor market conditions) Stage 3: Employment Retention (professional etiquette, timeliness , job skills, internships, WEX) Stage 4: Financial Awareness (budgeting, banking, credit, taxes, saving) Stage 5: Personal skills & home management (decision making, personal boundaries, communication, comm unity connection, leadership, cooking, homemaking, renter agreements , leases, deposits) Three of the five stages above relate specifically to employment and job retention including Employment Readiness, Employment Retention and Financial Awareness. During Employment Readiness, youth set specific employment goals, prepare to enter the workforce, and select appropriate job training programs (e.g., internship, trade school, college, etc.). In Stage 3, SUFK OC provides paid internships (wages) and occupational training (stipend). Our Financial Awareness training provides youth the necessary skills to manage income, credit, debt, and taxes.

In 2024, SUFK OC served 1,784 youth countywide (31% in Santa Ana) with a budget of $1.3M. 100% of our mentored school-age youth graduate (237 enrolled) and 97% of our mentored youth, aged 18-24, remain stably­ housed and self-sufficient at 1 year (343 enrolled). To our knowledge , no other organization achieves these outcomes. The key to our success is to ensure each youth rema ins stably employed through proper training and placement. We look forward to joining the Santa Ana Youth Service Provider Network and providing a Santa Ana WIOA program for the most vulnerab le youth in the community.

Sincerely,

Services Provided
Stand Up for Kids Orange County (SUFI( OC) serves the neediest youth in OC, under age 25, including out-of­ school youth, high school dropouts, runaways, homeless, youth in foster care, justice involved youth, children of incarcerated parents and migrant youth. We provide comprehensive care that ensures each youth remains stably housed and develops the skills and confidence to live independently. SUFI< OC provides 4 primary services: 1) Street Outreach, 2) Housing Support, 3) Mentoring, and 4) Youth Centers.

SUFK OC programs cover all 14 WIOA service elements. We look forward to joining the Santa Ana Youth Service Providers Network to address the needs of vulnerable youth in the community.

Street Outreach: The SUFI< OC Street Outreach program targets homeless and at-risk youth, ages 16-24, through weekly street outreach and through local referral partners including law enforcement, schools, youth organizations, hotlines, plus healthcare, foster care, and social service agencies (e.g., SA Youth Service Navigator). 5 days a week, we comb underserved neighborhoods across OC, where homeless youth hang out. We provide water, food, clothing, hygiene products and safety information. 70% of the youth we meet make contact with SUFK OC, and of those, 85% engage in our mentoring program to get off of the street. In 2024, SUFK OC received 977 calls to our crisis hotline from street youth and referrals. We conduct a thorough screening over the phone to determine eligibility for our services and immediate needs. A referral may be made, such as medical treatment, supportive housing, a behavioral health program, or another assistance program for adults over age 24. In these cases we conduct a soft hand off with another service provider. SUFK OC established Street Outreach services over 20 years ago, in 2003, and we now serve the following communities: Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Santa Ana, and San Juan Capistrano.

Youth considered for intake to the SA WOIA program will be screened for specific qualifications including, resident of Santa Ana, age 16-24, authorized to work in the U.S., Compliance with Selective Service Act (males 18+), and Out-of-School (as defined by WOIA).

Housing Support: SUFK OC prioritizes "housing first" to ensure the safety of homeless and at-risk youth.

Our housing navigators help youth identify temporary, transitional, and permanent housing. We ensure each client establishes their personal housing goals and then we help them to identify and eliminate roadblocks to gaining permanent housing, including proper identification, immigration status, credit repair, and other legal roadblocks. We provide clients assistance with accessing housing resources, including Vouchers, VASH, HOME, and others. Through our many housing partnerships, we are able to quickly connect our clients to both temporary and permanent housing. Our rapid re-housing program is proven to be successful across many OC communities including Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Garden Grove, Irvine and Santa Ana. Mentored youth may receive rental assistance including tapered support up to 6 months after program graduation.

Mentoring: When a youth agrees to mentoring, they go through a thorough intake process. At intake, we address immediate needs for safety, food, clothing, healthcare, mental health and housing, leveraging our many community partners. During intake, we identify those who are most at risk or who are currently victims of sexual trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, labor trafficking, and other forms of victimization and abuse. The Case Manager meets with the youth where demographic data are collected and youth are assessed for vulnerability and risk factors using the TAY Vulnerability Index - Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI- SP DAT) (Balagot et al., 2019), a nationally-recognized instrument that collects information on functioning, vulnerability, current and past trauma, and any co-morbidity issues. Additionally, the Adolescent Coping Scale (Frydenberg & Lewis, 1998) is used to evaluate their ability to use productive coping strategies. The Case Manager confirms their program eligibility using defined criteria for SUFK OC programs such as age restrictions plus the Santa Ana YSP and WIOA contract requirements. SUFK OC uses a HUD-approved intake form to capture all relevant information, then based 2 EXHIBIT 3

upon a youth's program eligibility and vulnerability score, the Case Manager outlines a path forward that may include rapid re-housing, mentorship, or referral to another homeless support agency.

Youth considered for intake to the SA WIOA program will undergo the following:
1) Receive an objective assessment of academic skill levels and service needs of each participant (i.e. using Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE) assessment tool or the CASA). Assessments shall include:
a. Review of basic skills
b. Occupational skills
c. Prior work experience
d. Employability interest
e. Aptitudes
f. Support service needs
2) The service strategy (e.g., case plan) for each participant will adhere to the following (from RFP Scope of Services Exhibit I):
a. Directly links to 1 or more SA WIOA indicators of performance:
-Employment Rate (68 %)- 2nd Quarter After Exit: The percentage of program participants who are in education or training activities, or in unsubsidized employment, during the second quarter after exit from the program;
-Employment Rate (62%) - 4th Quarter After Exit: The percentage of program participants who are in education or training activities, or in unsubsidized employment, during the fourth quarter after exit from the program;
-Median Earnings ($4,000)- 2nd Quarter After Exit: The median earnings of program participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the program; -Credenlial Attainment (62%): The percentage of those participants enrolled in an education or training program who attain a recognized postsecondary credential or a secondary school diploma, or its recognized equivalent, during participation in or within one year after exit from the program.

A participant who has attained a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent is included in the percentage of participants who have attained a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent only if the participant is also employed or enrolled in an education or training program leading to a recognized postsecondary credential within one year after exit from the program; -Measurable Skill Gains (59%): The percentage of program participants who, during a program year, are in an education or training program that leads to a recognized postsecondary credential or employment and who are achieving measurable skill gains, defined as documented academic, technical, occupational, or other forms of progress, toward such a credential or employment; and -Effectiveness in Serving Employers: Effectiveness of the core programs in serving employers. b. Identifies career pathways that include education and employment goals, c. Lists appropriate achievement objectives,
d. Identifies appropriate planned services.

When a youth engages in the SUFI< OC mentoring programs, a case manager works with the youth to develop a case plan. The case manager further confirms the youth's background including goals, education, foster care, child welfare, social services, justice system involvement and military background. The client undergoes a physical exam and a drug screening as part of the intake assessment. Based on the screening and intake assessment, the Case Manager determines the interventions needed and coordinates any immediate community supports required such as housing, behavioral health services, counseling, legal aid, and medical treatment. During the assessment, we take steps to evaluate and pursue avenues for family reunification. We also ensure that youth who have absconded from the legal jurisdiction or juvenile justice placement, or child welfare systems, are returned to the dependent care of these services. We specifically 3 EXHIBIT 3

identify youth who have exited foster care in order to obtain any County or State benefits (e.g., medical assistance, FYI vouchers, Family Unification Program vouchers, Chafee Grants, Title IV-Ere-entry, etc.). The Stand Up for Kids OC intake process and form is HUD compliant and will be modified, as needed, to include specific information necessary for the Santa Ana WIOA program.

The Santa Ana Service Navigator will collect the eligibility documentation and certify WIOA eligibility at which point SUFI< OC will register the client in the CalJOBS data base for WIOA tracking and reporting.

In-school youth, youth under 16, and Out-of-school youth reconnected to secondary high school education, enroll in the "Road Map to Success" (RMTS) mentoring program. The goal of RMTS is to ensure each youth graduates and is successfully established post-graduation in college, trade school, and/or viable work. The program has 5 stages:

Stage 1: Basic Needs and Stable Housing,
Stage 2: Education Stabilization,
Stage 3: Employment Preparation, Job Training, Employment Retention Stage 4: Personal Management and Financial Management, and Stage 5: Post-Graduation Preparation.

Out-of-School youth, ages 16-24, may enroll in the "Journey to Self-Sufficiency" (JTS) mentoring program.

JTS provides youth a clear pathway to independence and ensures each youth obtains the life skills and job skills to remain self-sufficient, long-term. Mentored youth 16 and up may participate in the SUFK OC "Work Activation Readiness Program" (WARP) that provides work experience or occupational training to gain job skills that lead to viable employment. Youth may also be connected to a post-secondary school program or trade school to pursue their educational and vocational goals.

All youth that choose to enter the SUFK OC mentoring programs receive full wrap-around support. They obtain access to supportive services including basic needs, housing support, medical care, counseling, legal aid, credit repair, education, and transportation. Youth receive assistance with appropriate clothing, food, hygiene and household items, as needed. The Journey to Self-Sufficiency (JTS) curriculum guides the youth through the steps necessary to become productive, self-sufficient community members. In our experience, young adults require at least 6 months to complete the program, as they need time to develop the emotional assets, life skills and job skills to remain independent, long-term. The JTS curriculum has 5 stages outlined below:

Stage 1: Basic Needs (housing, food, transportation, etc.) Stage 2: Employment Readiness (ID, resume, professional attire, labor market conditions/needs) Stage 3: Employment Retention (professional etiquette, timeliness, job skills, internships, occupation training)
Stage 4: Financial Awareness (budgeting, banking, credit, taxes) Stage 5: Personal skills & home management (leadership development, community service, decision making, personal boundaries, communication; cooking & homemaking/maintenance; rental, leases & deposits)
Three of the five stages above address employment and job retention including Employment Readiness, Employment Retention and Financial Awareness. The case manager monitors the youth's progress towards their specific educational and vocational goals. The Employment Navigator and the mentor guide the youth through the job skills and leadership training. They provide the youth with resources, guidance, and linkage to community supports, including work experience, occupational training and educational resources (i.e.

GED or post-secondary school enrollment). Internships and occupational training target transition age youth with little to no prior work experience. The Employment Readiness stage of JTS, ensures each youth is thoroughly prepared for the work experience that best meets the youth's experience and employment 4 EXHIBIT 3

goals. The internship teaches basic skills they will need to be successful in the workforce and provides experience to help refine their educational and vocational goals. SUFI< OC internships cover a variety of interests, including Healthcare Administration, Culinary Arts, Property Management, and Cyber Security.

SUFI< OC sponsored internships are 10 weeks long with a maximum of 15 hours a week. Youth receive wages, with a maximum of $20/hour. Alternatively, youth may choose to receive a stipend to participate in an occupational training program, becoming certified as either an Armed Guard or Security Guard. In all cases, the preparation and guidance provided by the SUFK OC Work Activation Readiness Program, assists youth in making a successful transition to regular employment, apprenticeship, trade placement, or post­ secondary education.

The JTS curriculum above includes specific stages, steps, and measurable benchmarks that direct each youth along the pathway toward independent living. SUFK OC mentors serve as a guide, and provide each youth a stable, healthy, trusting, adult relationship. In addition, they help the youth establish personal goals, overcome obstacles, identify and build on their strengths and obtain the self-confidence needed to maintain a productive life. We believe that the key to our success is the relationship developed between the youth and their adult mentor. The mentor provides the youth direction, support, encouragement, and accountability while the youth develops a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and empowerment.

Over the past 21 years, theJTS curriculum and mentor model, has proven successful in helping thousands of at-risk OC youth gain independence. Notably, the JTS curriculum and mentor model is being adopted county-wide for use with transition-aged youth (TAY) (16-24 years old) experiencing homelessness.

The Case Manager monitors youth progress throughout the mentoring program, using both benchmarks and milestones. Benchmarks are built into the JTS program, marking completion of key steps and activities, for example, completing a life skills course, preparing a resume or conducting a job interview. Milestones are personal goals set by the youth such as obtaining a driver's license, drug rehabilitation, family reunification, completing an internship, or college entrance. Both benchmarks and milestones are critical to maintain accountability and build youth confidence throughout the program. We also measure internal assets (self-esteem, social connections, etc.) through a survey taken during intake and repeated after 6 months, using the Youth Asset Survey, which is widely used across the U.S. and known for high reliability.

The primary goal for youth enrolled in JTS is to remain stably housed and self-sufficient at the 12 month check-in. The primary goal for youth enrolled in RMTS is to graduate high school and become established, post-graduation. In 2024, SUFK OC served 1,782 youth countywide. 100% of our mentored school-age youth graduate (237 enrolled) and 97% of our mentored youth, aged 18-24, remain stably-housed and self­ sufficient at 1 year (343 enrolled). 57% of students enrolled in RMTS, go on to college. To our knowledge, no other organization achieves these outcomes. l<ey to our success is ensuring each youth remains stably employed through proper training and placement. We also set a goal for each youth to increase their internal assets after 6 months in the program, using the Youth Asset Survey.

The SUFK OC outcomes will meet or exceed those set for the SA YSP WIOA program:
1) We will successfully intake 20 youth within the first 6 months of the contract. 2) 95% of youth will meet or exceed the baseline performance indicators set by their case plan. 3) 100% of youth will receive follow-up services each quarter for 1 year after program exit.

In addition we will meet and exceed the expectations for program participation and management, as follows:
1) Participate actively in the Santa Ana Youth Council and Youth Service Provider Network. 2) Attend monthly Youth Service Provider Network meetings. 3) Deliver two or more of the 14 WIOA program elements. 5 EXHIBIT 3

4) Create and sustain partnerships with businesses, parents and other resources to serve youth. 5) Design (and deliver) programs to meet or exceed WIOA Performance Indicators. 6) Recruit and refer potential WIOA participants to the Service Navigator for eligibility determination. 7) Enroll 100% enrollment by second quarter (December 31, 2025). 8) Register youth participants into CalJOBS.
9) Document on CalJOBs (www.caljobs.ca.gov) at least one or more substantial service activity (refer Workforce Services Directives WSD 20-10 and WSD 19-06) each month for each enrolled youth. 10) Conduct an objective assessment of the academic levels, skill levels, and service needs of the participant.
11) Maintain files that clearly document WIOA eligibility, assessments, needs and services provided to participant and performance outcome verification.
12) Provide 12-month follow-up services for "exited" (youth no longer enrolled in program) participants. 13} Develop systems to invoice for services on a monthly basis. 14) Make available satisfaction surveys to all participants. 15) Be prepared to be monitored for WIOA compliance by Federal, State, SAWDB and/or Service Navigator.

We believe the SUFK QC youth mentoring and job training programs directly address the City of Santa Ana YSP program priorities and WIOA requirements.

Agreement Statement
Stand Up for Kids Orange County concurs with the provisions contained in EXHIBIT II -Sample Agreement.

Firm and Team Experience
StandUp for Kids OC (SUFK OC), founded in 2003, is located at 1055 El Camino Dr. Unit E, in Costa Mesa, CA.

SUFK OC is one of 16 chapters belonging to the national non-profit corporation StandUp for Kids, founded in 1990, in San Diego. The organization and all of its chapters share a common mission to end the cycle of youth homelessness, one youth at a time. The SUFK national office provides the local chapters with back­ end support including fundraising licenses, insurance, and website maintenance. The national headquarters location is 200 Nelson Ferry Road, Suite B Decatur, GA 30030.

StandUp for Kids specializes in serving youth, as their needs are unique, compared to homeless adults.

Homeless youth typically have no work experience, little life experience, limited education and recent trauma from home and/or from living on the streets. Therefore, it is not enough to simply house the youth, since they require time to develop the life skills, job skills and emotional attributes required to live independently. To end the cycle of homelessness for youth, SUFK provides four basic services: 1) Street Outreach, 2) Mentoring, 3) Housing Support, and 4) Youth Centers. Our service model follows national guidelines set by the US lnteragency Council on Homelessness regarding stable housing, permanent connections, education, employment, and social and emotional wellbeing for homeless youth.

SUFK OC is well known across underserved neighborhoods in Orange County. In 2024, we served 1,784 youth across 28 cities. 31% of the youth we served were in Santa Ana. We provided 11,833 points of service, 3,998 meals/groceries, 2,217 nights of shelter and gave 965 youth help with post-secondary or vocational training. We offer two primary mentoring programs "Road Map to Success" (RMTS) for school age youth, aged 12-18 and "Journey to Self-Sufficiency" (JTS) for youth no longer in secondary school, aged 16-24.

Road Map to Success (RMTS), designed for school-age youth, provides a holistic support system to ensure homeless and at-risk students graduate high school and prepare for their next steps, post-graduation. We 6 EXHIBIT 3

City Council

partner with 31 schools across 10 school districts, as well as 13 Access schools, to reach and support students in need. In the past 2 years, we served 11 public high schools and 2 Access schools in Santa Ana. In addition to housing, food, and essential resources, RMTS offers students tutoring, advocacy, mentoring and job training. The program empowers youth to plan for their futures, whether entering the workforce or pursuing post-secondary education.

Journey to Self-Sufficiency (JTS), designed for homeless and at-risk young adults ages 16-24, delivers crucial support during the transition to independence. Clients receive basic needs, housing assistance, mentoring, employment navigation and job training, financial literacy and life skills to achieve self-sufficiency. The Work Activation Readiness Program (WARP) provides work experience and occupational training to prepare youth for the future workforce. We also support youth pursuing higher education, helping them navigate challenges associated with college preparation, college entry and financial aid. Once in college, we help them stay on the path to graduation. To that end, SUFK OC serves homeless and at-risk students on campus, at two OC community colleges.
100% of our mentored school-age youth graduate high school (237 enrolled in 2024) and 97% of our mentored youth, aged 18-24, remain stably-housed and self-sufficient at 1 year (343 enrolled). To our knowledge, no other organization achieves these outcomes. Key to our success is to ensure each youth remains stably employed through proper training and placement.

SUFKOC has direct experience serving Santa Ana youth over the past 20 years. We have deep partnerships with Santa Ana law enforcement, youth organizations, healthcare providers, shelters, public schools and colleges, that all provide direct referrals of youth in crisis. Under contract with the City of Santa Ana (2023- 2024), we worked with homeless students on 4 high school campuses (Chavez HS, Valley HS, Century HS, and Lorin Grisel Academy). Under contract with the County of Orange, we served the Santa Ana Access students at Mary's Academy and Santiago Creek.

We maintain an extensive referral network for clients that need supportive services including medical, dental, mental health treatment, counseling, housing and other services essential for achieving independent living. The SUFK OC Housing Navigator coordinates shelter, temporary, and permanent housing needs. SUFK OC currently is under contract with Santa Ana to provide, Rapid Re-housing Services for youth. SUFK OC maintains partnerships with local shelters, landlords, housing partners, referral partners and legal services that support our "Housing First" efforts. This includes relationships with local youth shelters (e.g. Waymakers, Robyne's Nest, Mercy House, and Casa Youth Shelter) to provide temporary housing for mentored youth. The SUFKOC Housing Navigators maintain relationships with local housing providers in Santa Ana that we draw upon for transitional and permanent housing for mentored youth.

SUFI< OC has broad experience serving homeless and at-risk youth across Orange County since 2003. In the past five years alone, we successfully completed over 25 federal, state, and local funded government contracts and in each case, we met our service goals, expended all funds and had no audit findings (see list below). Contract services included:
• Employment Preparation/Work Experience/Occupational Training/Post-Secondary School Preparation • Street Outreach/Referrals/Screening/Qualification
• Community Outreach and Community Resource Development • Client mentoring/training/coaching/counseling and support. • Client tutoring and education support
• Client case management/intake and exit/planning and monitoring/follow-up/files/data base/reporting • Community Support management (housing, healthcare, social services) • Community Collaboration (City, County, State, CoC, CES, etc.) • Housing Voucher Acquisition/Management

In 2024 our clients were 85% aged 16-24 and 15% under age 16. 54% were Female/ Transgender Women/ Female Identified and 42% were Male/ Transgender Men/ Male Identified and 4% Non-binary/ Nonconforming. Client ethnicity included 53% Hispanic, 16% Black or African American, 14% Multi-ethnic, 8% White, 5% Asian, 3% Pacific Islander and1% American Indian or Native American. 22% identified as LGBTQIA+ and 24 were Veterans.

SUFKOC has the depth of experience to tackle behavioral health issues as most homeless youth and at-risk youth we serve experienced traumatic events before leaving home and are traumatized again, while living on the street. Last year, 38% of youth we served had significant mental health problems, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, suicidal ideation, and substance addiction. 14% used drugs and/or alcohol and 26% experienced domestic violence. 27% had children, and 22% were in foster care. Over half of the girls we served experienced human trafficking, rape, and/or pregnancy.

Through coordinated training and collaboration with our partners, we are able to address the unique needs of many subpopulations of youth who are at-risk or experiencing homelessness or have runaway, including, but not limited to the following: 1) youth who are pregnant or parenting; 2) system-involved youth, to 8 EXHIBIT 3

include juvenile justice and child we lfare; 3) labor and/or sexually trafficked or exploited youth; 4) youth in need of substance abuse and mental health services; and 5) other vulnerable populations (e.g., tribal youth, LGBTQIA2S+, foster youth and youth with disabilities).

Proposed Work Plan
The goal of the Santa Ana Youth Service Provider program is to deliver a Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIDA) youth program for Santa Ana youth between the ages of 16-24 that are out-of­ school with a focus on providing paid work experience and/or WIDA defined credentials. In addition to our roles and responsibilities as a member of the Santa Ana Youth Service Provider Network, our plan provides full wrap-around support, including basic needs, housing support, mentoring, and work experience or occupational training, for 20 qualified youth over the contract period, July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.

The SUFK OC Work Plan will meet and exceed the stated requirements and performance outcomes in the SA VSP Scope of Work below:
1) Participate actively in the Santa Ana Youth Council and Youth Service Provider Network. 2) Attend monthly Youth Service Provider Network meetings. 3) Deliver two or more of the 14 WIDA program elements. 4) Create and sustain partnerships with businesses, parents and other resources to serve youth. 5) Design programs to meet or exceed WIDA Performance Indicators (refer to page 26 for Performance Indicators).
6) Recruit and refer potential WIDA participants to the Service Navigator for eligibility determination. 7) Enroll 100% enrollment by second quarter (December 31, 2025). 8) Register youth participants into CalJOBS.
9) Document on CalJOBs (www.caljobs.ca.gov) at least one or more substantial service activity (refer Workforce Services Directives WSD 20-10 and WSD 19-06) each month for each enrolled youth. 10) Conduct an objective assessment of the academic levels, skill levels, and service needs of the participant.
11) Maintain files that clearly document WIDA eligibility, assessments, needs and services provided to participant and performance outcome verification.
12) Provide 12-month follow-up services for "exited" (youth no longer enrolled in program) participants. 13) Develop systems to invoice for services on a monthly basis. 14) Make available satisfaction surveys to all participants. 15) Be prepared to be monitored for WIDA compliance by Federal, State, SAW DB and/or Service Navigator.

Approach
Our approach applies the SUFK OC standard operating procedures for Community Outreach, Street Outreach and the "Journey to Self-Sufficiency" (JTS) youth mentoring program. For over 20 years, SUFK QC has operated these programs to reach homeless and at-risk youth. During that time, thousands of OC youth have engaged in the SUFK OC mentoring programs and successfully moved from crisis to self-sufficiency.

We offer two primary mentoring programs. The goal of "Journey to Self-Sufficiency" (JTS), program is for each youth to move from surviving to thriving. The program typically takes 6 months to complete. At that point, the youth is self-sufficient and permanently housed. Success is measured by the youth remaining self-sufficient and stably housed at 1 year. In 2024, we experienced a 97% success rate with 343 youth enrolled. JTS is a five-stage, goal-based, process that includes activities, workshops, training, work experience and occupational training that build job skills and life skills leading to long-term independence.

Youth receive support from their SUFK OC mentor and case manager throughout the duration of the program.

Youth under 16 and youth that can be reconnected to secondary education, align with the SUFK QC "Roadmap to Success" (RMTS) youth mentoring program. RMTS focuses on homelessness prevention among students through education stabilization, tutoring, and study skills training, plus life skills and job 14 EXHIBIT 3

skills to achieve independence, post-graduation. Success is measured by achieving high school graduation and becoming successfully established post-graduation in college, trade-school, entrepreneurship or viable work.

Each major activity in our work plan is described below, along with the YSP Program Goals and Timeline.

A. Community Outreach/YSP Startup:

Our community outreach program includes the following elements:
• Develop a bilingual outreach campaign targeting at-risk youth and young adults through flyers, social media, and community events.
• Develop strong working relationships with Santa Ana Youth Service Providers Network members. • Share outreach materials at local shelters, food banks, schools, social service agencies, and partner organizations to expand awareness of the SUFK QC services and services provided by the Santa Ana Youth Service Providers Network and the Santa Ana Work Center. • Attend city-hosted events and network meetings to strengthen relationships with stakeholders and identify potential youth referrals.
• Strengthen relationships with our current community business partners that provide work experience and occupational training to mentored youth including Bracken's Kitchen (Culinary), Seabreeze Management Company (Property Management), Sentri Institute (Armed Guard, Security Guard), Norooz (Health Clinic), Greenlight Cyber (Cyber Security Company). • Develop new business partners that provide work experience and occupatjonal training for mentored youth.
• Maintain strong relationships with local Santa Ana referral sources such as law enforcement, schools, medical facilities, youth organizations and social service agencies. • Incorporate required procedures and protocols for WOIA compliance into the SUFK OC Standard Operating Procedures, including processes for providing monthly invoices.

SA YSP Goals and Timeline:

1. Regular attendance at Santa Ana Youth Service Providers meetings (started by July 31, 2025)

2. Active in the Santa Ana Youth Service Providers Network (started by July 31, 2025)

3. Implement procedures for CalJOBS Tracking and Reporting (July 31, 2025)

4. Implement process to provide monthly invoices (July 31, 2025) B. Street Outreach and Intake:

The SUFK OC Street Outreach program targets homeless and at-risk youth, ages 16-24, through weekly street outreach and through local referral partners including law enforcement, schools, youth organizations, hotlines, medical facilities, foster care agencies, and social service providers (e.g., SA Youth Service Navigator). Each week, we will comb the underserved neighborhoods across Santa Ana, where homeless youth hang out. We provide water, food, clothing, hygiene products and safety information. 70% of the youth we meet make contact with SUFK OC, and of those, 85% engage in our mentoring program to get off of the street. In 2024, SUFK OC received 977 calls to our crisis hotline from street outreach and referrals. We conduct a thorough screening over the phone to determine eligibility for our services and immediate needs. A referral may be made to another assistance program in cases where there is need for immediate medical treatment, supportive housing, a severe behavioral health issue, or for adults over age

24. In these cases we conduct a soft handoff with another service provider. Youth considered for intake to the SA YSP program will be screened for specific qualifications including, resident of Santa Ana, age 16-24, authorized to work in the U.S., Compliance with Selective Service Act (males 18+), and Out-of-School as 15 EXHIBIT 3

defined by WIOA. The Case Manager meets with the youth for the full intake where demographic data are collected, and assessed for vulnerability and risk factors using the TAY Vulnerability Index -Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI- SPDAT) (Balagot et al., 2019), a nationally-recognized instrument that collects information on functioning, vulnerability, current and past trauma, and any co-morbidity issues. Additionally, the Adolescent Coping Scale (Frydenberg & Lewis, 1998) is used to evaluate their ability to use productive coping strategies. SUFK OC administers a 37 question, Youth Asset Survey, to determine emotional attributes and then measures growth after each 6 months in mentoring. In addition, youth will complete a thorough skills assessment (TA that includes the following Santa Ana YSP required elements:
a. Review of basic skills
b. Occupational skills
c. Prior work experience
d. Employability interest
e. Aptitudes
f. Support service needs
A personalized service strategy (case plan) is developed for each participant and will include the following Santa Ana YSP elements:
a. Directly links to 1 or more indicators of performance (e.g., Employment rate @2Q & 4Q, Median Earnings, Credential Attainment, Measurable Skill Gain, and/or Effectiveness in Serving Employers. b. Identifies career pathways that include education and employment goals, c. Lists appropriate achievement objectives,
d. Identifies appropriate planned services.

SA YSP Goals and Timeline:

1. Receive initial referrals from Santa Ana Youth Service Navigator (July 31, 2025)

2. Refer 20+ qualified youth to the Santa Ana Youth Service Navigator for eligibility determination (December 31, 2025)

3. Enter 20 eligible WIOA youth into the CalJOBS system (December 31, 2025).

C. JTS Mentoring Program Stage 1 focuses on meeting basic needs, including stable housing. SUFK OC provides full wrap-around support for mentored youth including housing navigation, food, clothing, hygiene items and transportation for work, school and mentoring, plus referrals for necessary support services including medical care, mental health care, counseling and legal assistance. Youth in supported housing receive regular deliveries of healthy food, hygiene items and household supplies through our SUFK OC "We Deliver" program. In addition to the gateway supports and services, Stage 1 includes establishing a mailing address for homeless youth through Stand Up for Kids and obtaining identification documents such as a birth certificate, state-sponsored ID or driver's license.

SA YSP Goals and Timeline:

1. 20 youth receive basic needs, including stable housing (December 31, 2025)

2. CalJOBS Updates done monthly for each youth.

D. JTS Mentoring Program Stage 2 addresses employment readiness, including goal setting, personal grooming, communication skills and resumes. Youth review employment trends and take time to do career exploration. They are introduced to employment services such as Santa Ana Work Center, One-Stop Centers, State Employment Development Department, job fairs and online job search tools. During Stage 2, youth learn the job application process, guided by the SUFK OC Employment Navigator who helps the client confirm individual goals, strengths and job opportunities that match. For youth lacking job skills, the navigator coordinates paid work experience and occupational training through local employers via our "Work Activation Readiness Program" (WARP). The WARP program, established in 2019, maintains 16 EXHIBIT 3

City Council

7/1/2025

partnerships with local employers across multiple cities, to provide work experience and occupational training, leading to viable employment. Completion of Stage 2 includes submitting 3 job applications each week for up to 4 weeks. The mentor plays a key role in helping the youth establish (and reach) personal goals and milestones such as completing or furthering their secondary or post-secondary education, reuniting with family, addiction recovery, obtaining a driver's license, or resolving legal and financial issues.

SA YSP Goals and Timeline:

1. 20 youth receive basic needs and are stably housed (December 31, 2025)

2. 20 youth participate in WIOA compliant job training (e.g. WEX, Occupational Training, Trade School, College, Alternative/GED/HS Education, OTJ training, etc.) (March 31, 2025).

E. JTS Mentoring Program Stage 3 is a continuation of the job training process, with an emphasis on interviewing skills, employer expectations, plus time and stress management. Participants exit this stage when they are hired, begin work, and remain employed for at least one month. The Employment Navigator continues to help the youth maintain viable employment. The mentor continues to provide support to the youth as they strive to reach their personal goals and milestones.

SA YSP Goals and Timeline:

1. 20 youth remain in WIOA compliant job training and work experience (June 30, 2025)

2. Update CalJOBS monthly.

F. JTS Mentoring Program Stage 4 focuses on financial literacy, budgeting and financial management. We introduce key skills such as shopping on a budget, taxes, bank accounts, and credit. These topics are addressed through workshops, articles, and conversations with mentors.

SA YSP Goals and Timeline:

1. 20 youth remain in WIOA compliant job training and work experience (June 30, 2025)

2. Update CalJOBS monthly.

G. JTS Mentoring Program Stage 5 prepares participants for exiting or 'JTS graduation'. The youth obtains permanent housing. They learn home-making and home maintenance skills, landlord-tenant relations, and they learn good citizenship and are challenged to build connections in their neighborhood and build leadership skills through community service. The SUFK OC Housing Coordinator provides the youth support to navigate the housing market, negotiate rental or lease agreements, obtain furnishings and set up housekeeping. SUFK OC provides tapered rental assistance for up to 6 months after the youth obtains permanent housing.

SA YSP Goals and Timeline:

1. 20 youth meet or exceed the performance measures assigned to their case (2 quarters post-exit follow up) (December 31, 2025)

2. 20 youth meet or exceed performance measures assigned to their case (4 quarters post-exit follow up) (June 30, 2026)

3. Provide YSP Client Satisfaction Survey to each exiting client.

4. Update CalJOBS monthly.

SUFK OC Overall Goals for the JTS Mentoring Program are as follows:

1. 100% of mentored youth successfully complete the JTS program and obtain permanent, stable housing.

2. 100% of youth improve in at least one emotional asset upon re-exam using the Youth Asset Survey.

3. 100% of youth remain stably housed and self-sufficient at their 1 year check-in (97% success in 2024, with 343 enrolled).

To ensure success of each participant, SUFK DC implements specific measures:
1) We assess youth performance and progress on a weekly basis. The case manager is responsible for monitoring the progress of their clients. We use benchmarks to assess readiness for the next stage of the program and to measure progress over time. Benchmarks include all the criteria required to move through the five stages of JTS. For example, in order to pass through Step 2, Employment Readiness, the youth must meet these benchmarks: 1) receive their Government ID, 2) have an up-to-date and professional resume, 3) have professional attire for work, and 4) successfully complete employment training, per the case plan. 2) The mentor monitors the client's progress toward their personal milestones, such as completing a sobriety program, getting a GED, repaying debt or reuniting with family. While progressing through the JTS program, mentors pay particular attention to emotional stabilization of each client. We reassess youth emotional assets at 6 months using the Youth Asset Survey. Mentors also follow-up on each support service referral and determine whether contact was made, if the intended outcomes were achieved, and if the youth was satisfied with the support received. Mentors follow-up at least weekly to monitor the emotional well-being and provide support throughout the Journey to Self-Sufficiency.

Both benchmarks and milestones are vital, to ensure completion of the program, build confidence and learn accountability. At the end of the 6-month JTS mentoring program, the client has typically found permanent housing and stable employment. If the client is receiving rental assistance, they will be on graduated (decreasing) support during the final 6 months. The mentor remains in weekly contact with the client until the 1 year check-in and reports monthly to the case manager on their progress and well-being.

At that time, the case manager conducts a formal "safe" exit process.

Our goal is for each client to ultimately find themselves in a sustainable, healthy situation. Once youth are in a sustainable, healthy situation, we support them for potential setbacks, relapses, new instances of homelessness and other challenges. Therefore, we don't ever back out of their lives. We determine a comfortable set of services, counseling, and other supports that a youth needs at a given point in time. All youth are encouraged to remain connected to SUFK DC staff for the long term, and many youth return to become mentors themselves.
