Mixteco/Indígena Community Organizing Project (MICOP) seeks funds to support Puente a la Comunidad, which will provide culturally and linguistically-competent case management services to underserved indigenous migrants from the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Michoacán (including Mixtecs, Zapotecs, and Triquis) living in the City of Santa Maria. The proposed project will result in increased access to and utilization of services that are already available in the community designed to meet the critical needs and improve the well-being of these historically marginalized populations. While official data is scarce, the California Rural Legal Assistance’s 2010 Indigenous Farmworker Study provides an in-depth analysis of the demography and culture of indigenous migrants. The study estimates that about half of California’s 120,000 indigenous Some answers will not be presented because they are not part of the selected group of questions based on the answer to #1.

Capital Project
farmworkers live in the Central Coast, including an estimated 29,000 who live in Santa Barbara County, primarily in the City of Santa Maria. Mixtecs and other Indigenous migrants from Mexico living in Santa Maria live in extreme poverty, employed primarily in agriculture. They face myriad barriers that prevent them from being able to access even the most basic of services to meet their daily needs, including food, housing, healthcare, education, and safety services. For instance, while many speak some Spanish, a majority only speak their native indigenous languages, which are oral pre-Hispanic languages including Mixteco, Zapoteco, and Triqui, that can vary significantly depending on the region in Mexico from which they originate. They have very limited literacy/writing skills, making it practically impossible for them to complete the required forms and application to receive sorely needed assistance on their own. Indigenous migrants also have deep rooted and unique cultural practices and beliefs, which often set them apart and create barriers that isolate them even from other Spanish-speaking immigrants. MICOP is uniquely positioned to help these highly underserved populations access the basic services that they need to survive and improve their well-being and quality of life. Namely, MICOP has an established track record and reputation, a culturally and linguistically competent staff that is reflective of and has similar lived experiences as the target population, and has established collaborative partnerships in place with city, county, and local nonprofit agencies that provide assistance. As such, MICOP seeks funds to support a trilingual case manager (English, Spanish and Mixteco/Zapoteco) who will provide direct assistance and case management services to help indigenous migrants apply for SNAP, Medi-Cal, rental assistance, IDs, drivers' licenses, and other essential programs and services. The Puente a la Comunidad case manager will also ensure that clients can fully utilize programs in which they are already enrolled, including completing renewals, and advocating for clients denied services if needed.

5. Based on the City of Santa Maria's Community Development Block Grant priorities for Fiscal Year 2023-24, which PRIMARY priority do you feel your program / project falls under? The priorities are not listed in order of importance. They are numbered for referencing purposes only. Priorities #1 and #2 will only be considered for CDBG public services funding.

6. Explain why you believe your program / project best fits the PRIMARY priority selected.

Refer to NOFA packet for the detailed description of each priority and choose only one subcategory under one of the four priorities.

The proposed Puente a la Comunidad, (Bridge to the Community in Spanish) is in perfect alignment with the CDBG's priority to address the critical needs of highly underserved populations. Through the proposed project, low-income Indigenous migrants facing hardships will be able to meet with the case manager regularly at MICOP's centrally located and accessible office. The case manager will assess the unique situation and needs of each client/family and will provide direct assistance as needed filling out and submitting required forms and applications, compiling required documentation, making follow-up phone calls, scheduling and confirming appointments, and advocating on behalf of clients to ensure that they gain access to and can fully utilize all available services to meet their critical, daily living needs. The case manager will literally serve as a "bridge" that will connect extremely low-income individuals and families to the assistance that they need for their basic survival. The case manager will assess client eligibility to apply for food assistance programs, housing/rental assistance programs, health, prevention, and mental health services, and transportation. The case manager will also help clients access other critical services, including assistance obtaining Department of Motor Vehicle services, such as IDs, Driver's Licenses, vehicle registration renewals, etc. Parents with school-age children who need help completing school forms or interacting with school teachers or school administrators will also be able to get help through Puente a la Comunidad.

The Puente a la Comunidad case manager will actively maintain a comprehensive data base of local services and programs available in the community through the City of Santa Maria, the County of Santa Barbara, and through other local partnering nonprofits and agencies. S/he will keep abreast of all eligibility requirements, application guidelines and procedures to be able to help clients effectively. S/he will attend community meetings, conferences and presentations as needed to learn about available programs that can benefit clients.

In addition, the case manager will also be able to cross-refer clients to other MICOP programs offered within the organization.

For instance, the MICOP Santa Maria office has other case management programs in place working with special needs populations, including victims of domestic violence, children with disabilities, and unaccompanied immigrant youth. When appropriate, the case manager will be able to cross refer clients to these other programs available within MICOP as needed.

Furthermore, the Puente a la Comunidad case manager will have access to the full scope of programs, information, resources, trainings and expertise available within MICOP and will ensure that Santa Maria's indigenous migrants can avail themselves of these services. S/he will also keep track of all clients served, as well as the type of services to which they were connected.

Note: CDBG income limits can found on the City's webpage under General Subrecipient Resources www.cityofsantamaria.org/city-government/departments/community-development/special-projects-division/community- development-block-grant-cdbg-program
Puente a la Comunidad targets low-income Indigenous migrants from the southwestern states of Mexico, including Mixtecs, Zapotecs, and Triquis living in the City of Santa Maria. These indigenous groups began migrating to the US in the 1970s, in search of economic opportunity. Indigenous migrants are a more recently-arrived newcomer group than the more established non-indigenous Mexican immigrants, which helps explain their higher rates of poverty. With low literacy levels and a limited formal education, most indigenous migrants are employed in low-paying, labor-intensive seasonal agricultural jobs. They earn low wages with few, if any, employer benefits. On average, families earn less than $20,000, per year for a family of five, and fall well below the HUD designation of very low to extremely low income. Indigenous migrants tend to be younger (20-40 years old) and have large families with young children. Multi-generational families often live in substandard, overcrowded dwellings due to the lack of affordable housing. They face transportation barriers, as few own a car. There is also much fear and mistrust of the "system" among indigenous communities, creating an additional barrier to the utilization of available public critical services.

Puente a la Comunidad will help overcome these barriers by offering a case management program staffed by an indigenous migrant with shared lived experiences, offering assistance in native indigenous languages, in a safe and trusted environment.

Indigenous migrants will benefit directly from this program by gaining access to a full realm of critical, essential programs and services seamlessly through a single point of entry. Through Puente a la Comunidad, clients will be able to gain access to multiple social services including food, rental assistance, health services, and other critical services tailored to their unique needs and circumstances.

As the majority of the targeted indigenous migrant populations reside within the Santa Maria city limits, it is easy for MICOP to focus its services to Santa Maria residents. MICOP will draw in clients through outreach activities conducted in community settings including markets, churches, and laundromats, as well as through existing partnerships with the school district, community care clinics, and other agencies in the city that work with low-income populations. Clients will also be referred to Puente a la Comunidad internally through other MICOP programs as needed.

MICOP will conduct intake for each person/family seeking services through Puente a la Comunidad. The case manager will be able to verify the place of residence of all clients. MICOP will follow HUD guidelines to qualify participants for CDBG-funded programs and will use a variety of means to document income, such as pay stubs, school records, Medi-Cal enrollments, etc. to qualify participants and all of these are inputted in a centralized database where we can pull demographic reports as needed.

8. Check box or boxes of population category to be served by the proposed program / project:

9. Out of all the boxes checked above, which population category will primarily be served by the proposed program / project?
MICOP's targeted population of indigenous migrants from Mexico present multiple intersectional vulnerabilities including ethnicity, indigeneity, income, education, language, nationality and class. It is difficult to choose a single category to define

Homeless

At Risk of Homelessness

Homeless Youth, 18-24 Years Old

Elderly

Victims of Crime

Persons with Mental Illness

Physically Disabled

Developmentally Disabled

Persons with AIDS/HIV

Unemployed

Language Barriers

Youth, 0-5 Year Olds

Youth, 6-12 Year Olds

Youth, 13-17 Year Olds

Families Living in Poverty

Families w/ Housing Burden

Substance Abuse Problems

At-Risk Youth

Other:
them, as many of these categories symbiotically reinforce one another to produce marginalization that places their overall well-being at risk.

Having said that, MICOP's Puente a la Comunidad will serve primarily families with young children living in dire poverty, facing severe language and cultural barriers that place them at high risk for food and housing insecurity, and for additional educational, social and income inequities that negatively impact their wellbeing.

Unit of Service

10. What is the total number of unduplicated persons OR households to be served OVERALL by the proposed SANTA MARIA program / project?
Please enter only for persons OR households (not both).

11. A.) Define the unit of service, other than persons or households, to be provided by the proposed program. A unit of service is the service that is being provided to the client under CDBG. B.) Provide the estimated units of service each person OR household will receive.

Example: A.) The unit of service can be defined as a bed night, meal, counseling session, etc.; B.) 1 person OR household equals (X amount) units of service; 1 person equals approx. 30 shelter bed nights.

A.) The unit of service will be defined as one-hour of case management (may include completing/submitting an application, reviewing required documentation, etc.). B.) 1 person equals approximately 3 hours of case management.

Outcomes

12. Describe your short- and long-term goals and performance targets.

A.) Describe the intended outcomes for the program participants / beneficiaries; B.) What measures, tools and / or indicators will be used to demonstrate the outcomes?
A) As a result of the Puente a la Comunidad, 250 indigenous migrants in the City of Santa Maria will have greater access to critical services available in the community that have otherwise been difficult for them to access - including food and housing assistance, health, prevention and mental health services, safety, and educational supports.

B) MICOP will track the total number of referrals made, the number of applications completed and successfully submitted, and the amount of point of service benefit received by participants to demonstrate the outcome. A centralized database will be used to collect and track outcomes.

Collaboration

13. Will you collaborate with other partners in implementing the proposed program / project? If so, identify the collaborative partners and describe how the proposed program / project will be designed and implemented.

How will funding be distributed to each collaborative partner and what percentage of the requested CDBG funding will be provided to each partner?
MICOP will collaborate with Santa Maria and Santa Barbara County public agencies and other organizations that provide services to low-income populations to ensure that Mixteco/Indigenous residents of Santa Maria can access and fully benefit from their programming and services. However, no funding will be distributed to these partnering agencies as part of this effort.

14. How do you cooperate or network with other existing related programs, organizations or community resources?
Public and nonprofit agencies across the Central Coast's tri-county area recognize MICOP as a trusted partner and as the preeminent organization in the region with the capacity to effectively reach indigenous migrant populations in a culturally and linguistically competent manner. During recent public health emergencies, including wild fires, mudslides, and the COVID pandemic, MICOP was sought out by local, county, and state agencies to serve as a bridge for public agencies to deliver accurate and timely information, as well as emergency services (e.g., cash assistance, masks, food, COVID vaccines and tests, etc.) to this hard-to reach population.

These partnerships have continued to grow in Santa Barbara County, where MICOP currently collaborates with the Santa 250Persons
Households
250.00250.00TOTAL
Barbara County Behavioral Wellness Department, the Public Health Department, and the District Attorney’s office for interpretation services and referrals. We also partner with United Way of Santa Barbara to support our community members with rental assistance, and have worked previously with Santa Maria-Bonita School District to ensure parent and youth engagement.

MICOP also partners by providing language interpretation services in Mixteco, Zapoteco and other indigenous languages to numerous agencies in the City of Santa Maria, including schools and health agencies. We also are frequently invited to provide cultural competency trainings to these agencies to help them and their staff gain a better understanding of the unique needs and idiosyncrasies of these groups, thus helping them build their own internal capacity to reach and serve this population.

MICOP does not seek to duplicate existing services in Santa Barbara County or Santa Maria; rather, we are seeking the opportunity to make existing programs and services accessible to a highly linguistically isolated and vulnerable population.

15. Does the proposed program require parental participation or family involvement? If so, please describe in detail.

Only if it is necessary. For assistance to access services, especially health services, some parental and family involvement may be necessary, but the case manager will determine how much parental/family involvement is necessary to access a community service they need.

16. Do you utilize volunteers for direct services?

17. If answered "yes" to previous question, explain and indicate the total number of hours of volunteer labor used per year and for what purpose.

If you do not utilize volunteers for direct services because the circumstances do not allow for them or the situation is not appropriate, you may wish to make a comment to clarify your reasoning or answer "N/A".

MICOP is fortunate to have volunteers who provide assistance for certain activities, including data entry, some fundraising activities, and some program delivery, including our Monthly Community Meetings, during which up to 10 community volunteers help us distribute free food, diapers and other basic necessities to community members. MICOP's Community Meetings are held every month or so and are attended by over 300 families. These monthly meetings are a great opportunity to inform our target population about available services and programs, such as the proposed Puente a la Comunidad. In addition, interns and other students often also fulfill capstone project requirements and volunteer hours at MICOP. Volunteers typically gift the organization 250-300 volunteer hours per year.

Description of Agency Services

18. Describe in detail the services your agency provides and how they are unique from the services provided by other agencies.

Established in 2001, MICOP's mission is to support, organize and empower the indigenous migrant communities in California’s Central Coast. MICOP is widely recognized across the region and California as the preeminent organization addressing the unique needs of indigenous migrants, while simultaneously elevating their voices and building power to advance social justice, equity, and inclusion. MICOP offers a full spectrum of programs that integrate ensuring access to basic needs for its target population, while at the same time advocating for equity and inclusion for this population. On an annual basis, MICOP delivers its multifaceted programming to 15,000+ individuals through its main offices located in Oxnard, the agricultural heartland of Ventura County, and since 2017, in northern Santa Barbara County, serving indigenous migrants living in Santa Maria, Lompoc and Guadalupe. MICOP’s core programs available in our Santa Maria office include:

1. Indigenous Language Interpretation Services, which trains and deploys bilingual (Mixteco/Zapoteco-Spanish) and trilingual (Mixteco/Zapoteco-Spanish-English) interpreters throughout the region to support organizations serving this population;

2. Tequio Youth Group: mobilizing Mixteco/Indigenous Youth to combat discrimination and bullying, promote academic advancement, and develop leadership skills;

3. Opportunities for Youth: provides support to Unaccompanied Minors who have been detained at the US Border; 4: MICOP Immigration Legal Assistance (MILA): provides access to free/low-cost immigration legal advice and representation for citizenship, legal permanent residency, DACA, U Visa, VAWA, asylum, family petitions, and adjustments of status; 5: COVID-19 Rapid Response & Labor Workforce Development Agency organizers: supports community engagement, and provides public health education on COVID-19 vaccines and other health topics; 7: Community Organizing/Wage Theft: advocacy for fair employment practices for farmworkers and to build leadership skills and collaborates with the CA Labor Commissioner’s office to identify unpaid wage cases to be investigated and prosecuted by the Labor Commissioner;
8: Basic Needs, which provides safety net services for indigenous families.

Yes

No

9. Case management services, including Puente a la Comunidad, for which funds are requested, which links underserved indigenous migrants, including special needs populations to available services available in the community.

10. Acceso, created to connect indigenous families who have children aged 0-5 years with intellectual and developmental disabilities to needed services.

MICOP has a unique capacity to reach indigenous migrants. Its staff and board are reflective of the target population, speak multiple indigenous languages, and are from the communities served. MICOP has extensive experience providing case management as a key strategy to maximize access to the services most needed by its target population.

19. How long have you been in existence and provided services to the community? MICOP was founded in 2001 and has been providing services in Ventura County for over 20 years. In 2016, the Santa Maria office began to do outreach and formulated an indigenous advisory committee to learn about the needs of the local Mixteco/Indigenous community. By 2017, MICOP hired our first staff person and from 2017-2020, focused on immigration outreach and education. As MICOP became better known and gained the trust of local indigenous migrants in the City of Santa Maria, the need to expand services became evident. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, MICOP saw a substantial increase in need in the Santa Barbara area and doubled its staff, providing a variety of programs and services for the Indigenous migrant population. A full time Program Director has since been hired to oversee programs in Santa Maria, which include a team of 20 full-time and 2 part-time staff.

More broadly speaking, as an organization, we have contracted with the County of Santa Barbara for interpretation services as well as provided cultural competency trainings for the last 5+ years. In 2022 MICOP has provided services to over 2,446 people in Santa Maria.

CDBG Experience

20. Has your agency received CDBG funding in the past from the City of Santa Maria?

21. If YES, explain when your agency received funding and how your agency did in managing these funds. This includes providing information obtained during your most recent monitoring review by the Special Projects Team.

If NO, explain how your agency is prepared to manage these additional CDBG funds and confirm that you are aware of the various reporting requirements imposed by this federal funding.

MICOP received 2020-2021 CDBG funds from the City of Santa Maria to support the Puente a la Comunidad project. Through this project, we served almost double our original goal, with 428 individuals served during the FY 2020-2021 year.

Correspondence dated September 27, 2021 from the City of Santa Maria Community Development department indicated that after the Special Projects team completed their desk review monitoring that they had “no findings to report and commend [our] agency and staff for the great work that you do in providing valuable services in our community.”

MICOP has the capacity and infrastructure in place to manage the requested CDBG funds. MICOP currently manages over 22 unique programs funded through foundation, county, and state government grants and has a track record of meeting its grants objectives, timelines and deliverables on a timely and efficient manner. Since its founding in 2001, MICOP has gained credibility among a variety of funders for its program/financial management capacity. MICOP’s Executive Director Arcenio Lopez, and Associate Director Genevieve Flores-Haro have a combined total of over 18 years of program management experience. MICOP has an annual operating budget of over $8 million dollars. Recent administrative experience includes the management of over $250,000 of State of California census outreach funds, and a $1 million-dollar, 3-year Elevate Youth grant from the State of California. MICOP is also the recipient of County of Ventura and City of Oxnard CDBG funds.

23. How do you offer a service that is both cost-efficient and effective? We are trusted stewards of the donations, foundation funds and government contracts that we receive. Our support comes from foundations such as The California Wellness Foundation, Weingart Foundation, The Women’s Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation and the McCune Foundation, to name a few- all of which have meticulously reviewed our financial statements in the process of application, as well as while monitored our expenditure reports.

Numerous government grants and contracts have also supported our work, including the California Complete Count Office, California Reducing Disparities Project-Office of Health Equity, California Office of Emergency Services, California Department of Social Services, Ventura County Behavioral Health, Ventura County Human Services Agency, City of Oxnard's Community Development Block Grants Programs (CDBG), Edison International, Southern California Gas Company, and the Employment Development Department Farmworker Communications, to name a few.

We also receive income from fee-for-service contracts, individual donors and earned revenue. We undergo an annual, independent financial audit. All program expenditures go through a two-manager approval system, with the Executive Director providing final review. MICOP is a lean organization that prides itself on the efficient use of income from a variety of sources.

As our attached organizational chart shows, we have a lean but efficient administrative staff with most of our costs dedicated to programming.
