SUMMARY
The Varsity Santee Ravens Pop Warner Cheerleaders have a lot to celebrate. These 22 athletes finished their 2022-23 season bringing home the National Championship Title! This group of coaches along with a few of these athletes have carried the National Title for the past three (3) years. For a majority of the team, this is their final year of Pop Warner since they are aging out to go to high school in the fall.
Maintaining this title takes a lot of hard work and dedication. There was a lot of sacrifice from the athletes and parents, from missing birthdays, dances, or hanging with friends. The season started in August 2022 and finished strong, bringing home the National Title on January 21, 2023. They are rightfully very proud, and we are proud of them, too! Tonight, we commend and congratulate Coaches Shaneese, Colette, Jasmine, and Patty; Student Demonstrators Kiana, Sandra, Haylee, and Chloe; Team Mom Mindy; and the Athletes themselves, Amaya, Jillian, Shealyn, Caydance, Katie, Courtney, Elysa, Morgan R., Addison, Gabby, Breanna, Sophia, Corrina, Morgan W., Bella, Alexia, Paityn, Karissa, Alanna, Hailey, Shay, and Racheal.

SUMMARY
This Item asks the City Council to waive the reading in full of all Ordinances on the Agenda (if any) and approve their reading by title only. The purpose of this Item is to help streamline the City Council meeting process, to avoid unnecessary delay and to allow more time for substantive discussion of Items on the agenda.
State law requires that all Ordinances be read in full either at the time of introduction or at the time of passage, unless a motion waiving further reading is adopted by a majority of the City Council. (Gov. Code, § 36934). This means that each word in each Ordinance would have to be read aloud unless such reading is waived. Such reading could substantially delay the meeting and limit the time available for discussion of substantive Items. Adoption of this waiver streamlines the procedure for adopting the Ordinances on tonight’s Agenda (if any), because it allows the City Council to approve Ordinances by reading aloud only the title of the Ordinance instead of reading aloud every word of the Ordinance.
The procedures for adopting Resolutions are not as strict as the procedures for adopting Ordinances. For example, Resolutions do not require two readings for passage, need not be read in full or even by title, are effective immediately unless otherwise specified, do not need to be in any particular format unless expressly required, and, with the exception of fixing tax rates or revenue amounts, do not require publication. However, like Ordinances, all Resolutions require a recorded majority vote of the total membership of the City Council. (Gov. Code § 36936).

SUMMARY
This item requests City Council authorize the submittal of a grant application to the federal RAISE (Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity) grant program for State Route 52 (SR 52) improvements. The City submitted a similar RAISE application in 2022, and has augmented the current application with additional supporting documentation. The RAISE transportation grant provides needed infrastructure investment to better connect rural and urban communities around our nation. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act appropriated $1.5 billion to be awarded by the US Department of Transportation (‘‘DOT’’) for RAISE grants for FY 2023.
Improving SR 52 has been identified by the City Council as a priority for Santee. Phase I of the improvements to SR 52 qualifies under the RAISE program. This item would authorize submittal of an application by staff for Phase I improvements to SR 52. This Phase includes a 2.4-mile long westbound auxiliary/truck climbing lane from Mast Boulevard to the summit, relocating a 4.6-mile long Class I Bike Path from the north side of the freeway to the south side, restriping eastbound SR52 from two lanes to three lanes from Mast Boulevard to just east of the San Diego River Bridge, restriping westbound SR-52 from two lanes to three lanes from Mission Gorge Road to Mast Boulevard, and widening the westbound on-ramp from Mast Boulevard to two lanes.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378. Phase I improvements would be subject to separate environmental review.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The estimated cost of Phase I improvements is $53.5 million. The subject application seeks $25 million which reflects the maximum amount that may be requested. Local and state funds include $12 million programmed in SANDAG’s Regional Transportation Improvement Program. $2.5 million in federal funds has also been secured through the Federal FY 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act. A non-federal match of approximately $14 million would be required and sought from other local and state sources.
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW N/A Completed
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing City staff to prepare and submit a RAISE grant application for Phase I of SR 52 improvements.

Item 6.5
MEETING DATE February 8, 2023
DIRECTOR/DEPARTMENT Carl Schmitz, City Engineer
SUMMARY
CDBG Program - The federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program promotes viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. There is uncertainty regarding the amount of CDBG funding that will be available to the City for Program Year (PY) 2023 (July 2023 through June 2024); however, the timeline for submission of an annual CDBG application requires the City to begin the process of prioritizing CDBG-funded activities in February.
For planning purposes, it is estimated that the City’s PY 2023 allocation will be $290,955, which is the average of the allocations for the past three years and 1.4% less than the PY 2022 allocation.
A request for proposals was published on December 9, 2022, with applications due to the City by January 9, 2023. The City received seven Public Service applications for PY 2023 CDBG funding totaling $64,000, in addition to the City’s requests for Administrative Activities and Public Facilities funding, as detailed in the attached report and summary of applications.
HOME Program – The HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) provides funding for housing acquisition/rehabilitation, construction, rental assistance and home ownership assistance.
The City of Santee participates in HOME funding through a consortium including five other cities and the County of San Diego. The County administers HOME-funded programs on behalf of consortium members, including a first-time homebuyer down payment assistance loan program. In 2022, one loan for the purchase of a home in Santee was completed and only three loans were completed county-wide.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") by CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3).
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
No funding decisions will be made at this meeting. Allocations of CDBG funding will be determined during the second public hearing to be conducted on February 22, 2023.

STAFF REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING TO ASSESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS AND TO SOLICIT PROPOSALS FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2023 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AND HOME PROGRAM FUNDING CONSISTENT WITH
THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND FINDING THE ACTION IS NOT A PROJECT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 8, 2023
A. CDBG BACKGROUND
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Cities with over 50,000 in population (“Entitlement Cities”) are provided the opportunity to apply for a direct allocation of CDBG funds. Entitlements are based on a formula that factors in population, the extent of poverty, housing overcrowding, and age of housing.
Each city must develop a five-year Consolidated Plan and a one-year Action Plan which is updated each year and reflects input received from citizens.
B. CDBG PROGRAM GUIDELINES
CDBG activities proposed by the City must meet CDBG regulations regarding program objectives and eligibility criteria. Determination of project eligibility is a two-step process. Each program/project must meet one of three National Objectives of the CDBG program and it must also be consistent with program regulations as an appropriate activity.
The primary CDBG objective is the development of viable communities, including decent housing and a suitable living environment, and the expansion of economic opportunity, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. Each activity must meet one of the following national objectives:
1. Benefit low- and moderate-income families.
At least 70 percent of the grantee’s allocation must be spent for activities benefiting low- and moderate-income City residents. The three most common ways of meeting this objective are:
a. Activities that benefit an area dominated by a low-income population. b. Activities requiring income data for each applicant. c. Activities that benefit a limited clientele who are generally presumed to be principally low- and moderate-income. Categories of limited clientele allowed by HUD include abused children, battered spouses, elderly persons, handicapped persons, homeless persons, illiterate persons and migrant farm workers.
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
Activities considered to aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight
Staff Report, February 8, 2023
Assess and Prioritize Projects for CDBG and HOME Funding Program Year 2023
are activities within a delineated area which meets a definition of slum, blighted, deteriorated, or deteriorating under state or local law, or where there is a substantial number of deteriorating or dilapidated buildings and improvements are needed throughout the area.
3. Address community needs having a particular urgency.
This national objective is rarely used because it is extremely restrictive. The urgent condition must be recent and pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community. There can be no other source of financing available to meet the needs in this category.
C. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND ALLOCATION PROCESS
Public participation is an important part of the CDBG process. Two public hearings are required to meet the HUD requirements for citizen participation. In accordance with Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 24, HUD, Section 570.704, the City initiated the CDBG application process by publishing a Notice of Funding Availability for Program Year 2023 on December 9, 2022 in the East County Californian, as well as posting the Request for Proposals on the City’s website.
Applications were due to the City by January 9, 2023.
Notice of the February 8, 2023 public hearing was published in the East County Californian on January 27, 2023. All applications which were received in accordance with the deadline were made available for public review and comment.
In this way, citizens are afforded an opportunity to examine the contents of all applications received and to provide comments prior to City Council decision on the funding of qualified applications, in compliance with CFR Title 24, Section 570.704.
D. AVAILABLE CDBG FUNDS AND REQUESTS FOR FUNDING
The CDBG allocation to the City of Santee for Program Year 2022 was $295,200.
As of January 27, 2023 HUD has not announced the amount that the City of Santee will be allocated for Program Year 2023 (July 2023 – June 2024). However, the schedule for preparation of annual Action Plans by the City of Santee and the County of San Diego requires that public input be solicited at this time and a tentative plan for funding activities in Program Year 2023 be approved and submitted to HUD no later than May 15th. Due to uncertainty regarding the budget for HUD programs, for planning purposes, staff estimates that the City of Santee’s Program Year 2023 allocation will be $290,955, which is the average of the three prior Program Year allocations and 1.4% less than the PY 2022 allocation.
Program Year 2021 unexpended funds are not being carried forward so they can be used towards the Citywide ADA Pedestrian Ramp project.
HUD regulations impose a 15% cap on the amount of CDBG funds which can be allocated to Public Service activities and a 20% cap on Administrative Activities (including program income but excluding prior year carry forwards). Prior year
Staff Report, February 8, 2023
Assess and Prioritize Projects for CDBG and HOME Funding Program Year 2023
carry forwards can only be allocated to Public Facilities.
Public Facilities Funding
In October 2011, the City Council approved a Section 108 loan (a loan secured by future allocations of CDBG funding) in the amount of $1.4 million. The Section 108 loan funded improvement to Buena Vista Avenue and Railroad Avenue. The final debt service payment on this Section 108 loan was made on July 22, 2021.
With the payoff of the Section 108 Loan used for the Buena Vista/Railroad Avenue project, staff analyzed different options for CDBG funded public facility improvements. Based on this analysis staff recommended the Citywide installation of ADA compliant pedestrian ramps at locations where no ramp exists or the ramp is not ADA compliant during last year’s CDBG funding cycle. The Citywide ADA Pedestrian Ramp Project would benefit 3,551 Santee residents throughout the City that have “ambulatory difficulties” and 10,114 “elderly” (62 and older) residents according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey. This project would also take advantage of economies of scale based on the number of pedestrian ramps that would be installed or improved and provide additional funds for street maintenance and repair that would not be required to be used to install ADA compliant pedestrian ramps.
Based on the uncertainty surrounding Section 108 loan financing and the need to facilitate the expenditure of CDBG funds, staff has developed a smaller ADA pedestrian ramp project to complete the installation of forty (40) new ADA compliant pedestrian ramps as the first phase of the overall Citywide project. A total of $464,000 in previously allocated and unexpended CDBG funds has been made available for this project, which is currently out to bid. The new ADA pedestrian ramps are in the neighborhoods south of West Hills High School and northeast of Santana High School.
The proposed $189,130 (estimate) to be allocated towards Program Year 2023 Public Infrastructure would be used for future phases of the Citywide ADA Pedestrian Ramp project.

E. HOME PROGRAM
The Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program is a federal program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The intent of the HOME Program is to provide decent affordable housing to lowerincome households, expand the capacity of nonprofit housing providers, strengthen the ability of state and local governments to provide housing and leverage private-sector participation. Eligible HOME program uses include housing acquisition, housing rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, housing construction and rental assistance.
Since 1997, the City has used HOME funds for the First Time Homebuyer Program (FTHB), providing down payment assistance via a deferred loan for low-income first-time homebuyers. A total of 109 loans have been funded since the inception of the program.
The City of Santee participates in HOME funding through a consortium comprised of the County of San Diego and the Cities of Encinitas, Carlsbad, La Mesa, San Marcos and Vista to administer Federal HOME funds. The County of San Diego acts as the administrator of the consortium. Low-income persons seeking down payment and closing cost assistance for the purchase of a home in Santee submit an application to the County of San Diego Department of Housing and Community Development for underwriting and loan origination. During Calendar Year 2022, one loan for the purchase of a Santee home was completed.

City of Santee - Application for CDBG Funding
FUNDING INFORMATION:
Amount Requested from Santee: $ 4,000.00
Total Project/Program Budget: The organization's total scholarship program budget is $223,634.00 which includes adults and youth outside the Santee zip code. Of this, the anticipated budget for applicable beneficiaries is !$17,383.46 for youth scholarships living in Santee zip code.
Is the Project/Program scalable? Meaning if awarded less than requested could the Project/Program still be carried out, albeit to a lesser degree? Please explain: Yes, the YMCA's scholarship program is an annually supported program by over 300 donors, including the City of Santee's CDBG funding. Additional scholarships are executed beyond what is funded by the CDBG grant, although all funding is directly used for scholarships and subsidized programs, therefore a decrease in funders/funding would consequently result in a decrease in youth and families served.
Please complete Page 5 (CDBG Project Budget) itemizing revenues and expenses (sources and amounts) for the proposed project or activity in which CDBG funds would be used. Indicate how the requested CDBG funds would relate to the overall proposed budget.
PROJECTIACTMTY INFORMATION
A. What is the purpose/mission of the applicant agency? We nurture a healthy spirit, mind, and body so all can thrive while honoring our faith-based heritage.
B. Briefly describe the purpose of the project, the population to be served, the area to be benefited and estimated number of Santee residents who would benefit from the project. Inclusion of the estimated number of Santee residents served is required.
CDBG funds to the Cameron Family YMCA would provide scholarship assistance for low-tomoderate income children ages 5-13 years old living in Santee to participate in youth programs such as day camp, gymnastics, aquatics and enrichment activities. YMCA youth programs not only provide positive, engaging and healthy activities for children that have experienced gaps in academic, social and safety stability before and heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic, it also serves as reliable, trusted and experienced childcare support to families. Funding in the amount of $4,000 could support approximately 63 scholarship registrations at an average assistance rate of 30-40% off normal fees.
C. Who will carry out the activities, the period over which the activities will be carried out, and the frequency with which the services will be delivered (be specific).
The YMCA shares the same fiscal year as the City's timeline: July 2023 - June 2024. During this period, the YMCA will offer youth programs on a daily basis, year-round, with day camp (the highest used program area for scholarship support) specifically running from late June to midAugust 2023 and in limited scope during fall, winter and spring breaks. YMCA programs are executed by highly qualified, background-checked, skilled and thoroughly trained YMCA staff.
The day camp counselors, swim instructors, gymnastics coaches and other frontline staff 2
City of Santee - Application for CDBG Funding
executing the youth activities report directly to their department leadership staff and the Executive Director. All are employees of the YMCA of San Diego County association, which has been providing safe and enriching youth programs for 140 years. All programs will take place on site at the Cameron Family YMCA.
D. Describe how the project meets the CDBG Program National Objectives, the City of Santee Priorities, or is included under the Eligible Activities. Please see the the Notice of Funding Availability to assiSt with this request.
YMCA youth programs meet the objectives and priorities because they are made available to youth of all economic levels, backgrounds, abilities and life circumstances. The YMCA never turns a child away from participating because of an inability to pay. Our scholarship program - and the donors and grant funding that support it - levels the playing field for children of all families, including low-to-moderate income, military, those with special needs, those experiencing homelessness and other marginalized demographics, to participate, engage and thrive. All participants registering with scholarship support for youth programs are qualified as low-tomoderate income as defined by the median family income levels of the area, and utilizing county, state and federal assistance programs to determine income level eligibility.
E. Agency/Nonprofit Organization Information:
Outline the background of your agency/nonprofit organization, including the length of time your agency has been in operation, the date of incorporation, the type of corporation and the type of services provided. If the request for funding is submitted as part of a collaborative application, please provide information for each member of the collaborative. If your organization has received CDBG (or CDBG-CV) funds from the City of Santee in the past, please note the ojy the organization has received CDBG funding.
The YMCA of San Diego County is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, incorporated in 1959. The East County Family YMCA, a branch of the YMCA of San Diego County, began in the 1 950s, providing the entire East County with valuable YMCA programming in order to meet the growing needs of the community. The East County YMCA has now grown into three branches:
John A. Davis Family YMCA in La Mesa, Cameron Family YMCA in Santee and the McGrath Family YMCA in Spring Valley. The Cameron facility of Santee was built in 2003 in partnership with the City of Santee to build the YMCA and City of Santee Aquatics Center. This facility is managed by the YMCA which also includes a gymnastics center that dates back to 1982 under the name Cuyamaca YMCA. YMCA programs and services for the local community include day camps, swim lessons and swim teams, recreational and competitive gymnastics, sports, inclusion programs for individuals with disabilities, senior programs, teen programs, and wellness programs for all ages to promote the spirit, mind and body and help all people realize their fullest potential.
At the Y, no one is ever turned away from participation due to an inability to pay through our scholarship program. Offering scholarships on a sliding scale based on income level and family size, as well as subsidizing valuable programs that benefit our community are made possible through funds generously contributed by individuals, companies and funders on an annual basis.
The East County Family YMCA has received funding from the CDBG program beginning the 1997-1998 fiscal year with relative continuity totaling over 25 years. In the 2020-2021 program year, the Cameron Family YMCA was extremely honored to steward additional funds made available through CDBG-CV for essential childcare in response to the Coronavirus pandemic and stay-at-home orders impacting school closures and support For essential workers. The ability to 3
City of Santee - Application for CDBG Funding
respond to community needs alongside the City of Santee, for so many years, is a testament to how critical service through partnership can be for the local constituents.
F. Financial:
Describe your agency's fiscal management procedures including financial reporting, record keeping, accounting systems, payment procedures, and audit requirements. Describe how records are maintained to ensure the project benefits targeted groups.
The Cameron Family YMCA, as a branch of the YMCA of San Diego County, practices generally accepted accounting methods, utilizing cost centers to ensure grant funds are used as required by the City. Financial audits are performed annually by an independent accounting agency and on-going financials are monitored on a daily basis by the YMCA accounting department and Executive Director. The East County Family YMCA Board of Advisors, including a Finance Committee comprised of expert volunteer leaders, monitor the branch budget monthly, as well as the YMCA of San Diego County Board of Directors. Internal financial audits are performed twice annually by an independent auditing firm. Financial need for participating youth will be determined by the scholarship application process with records kept and data managed according to best practices. CDBG funds will be provided only to qualifying Santee residents. Furthermore, the internal contracts team ensures proper auditing, processing and reporting of the YMCA's stewardship of all federal awards.
G. Personnel:

PROJECnACTIVITY INFORMATION
A. What is the purpose/mission of the applicant agency? Founded in 1973, ElderHelp of San Diego's mission is to provide personalized services and information that help seniors remain independent and live with dignity in their own homes. Our agency has a long history of helping seniors experiencing declining health, poverty, and isolation to remain independent in their homes through services providing for seniors' basic needs like food, shelter, transportation, and companionship. Last fiscal year, ElderHelp served 6,636 individuals across six core programs: Care Coordination, Housing Services, Seniors A Go Go, RUOK Calls, Family Caregiver Assistance Program, and Intake and Referral Services. Over its 49-year history, ElderHelp has served over 253,000 older adults in need, including many seniors in the City of Santee. Our goal throughout nearly five decades has been to help older adults remain in their homes and enhance the quality of life for older adults.
B. Briefly describe the purpose of the project, the population to be served, the area to be benefited and estimated number of Santee residents who would benefit from the project. Inclusion of the estimated number of Santee residents served is required.
Generous funding from the City of Santee will support ElderHelp senior independence services for residents of the City of Santee and the surrounding central and eastern regions of San Diego County. Services include Care Coordination, Housing Services, Seniors A Go Go, RUOK Calls, Family Caregiver Assistance Program, and Intake and Referral Services for seniors in need.
Last fiscal year, ElderHelp served 6,636 individuals across six core programs:
o Care Coordination combines case management For nearly 400 seniors with in-home help, including home safety inspections and modifications, grocery shopping, and companionship.
a Housing Services, which includes HomeShare, our longstanding roommate matching service with 24 current matches (nearly 1,000 since inception) averaging six years in length - three times the national average of other shared housing programs; housing 2
City of Santee - Application for CDBG Funding
consultation and navigation for more than 2,000 seniors; and resident service coordination at two low-income senior housing communities serving approximately 300 residents daily.
o Seniors A Go Go offers transportation to medical and non-medical appointments to keep seniors connected to their communities with more than 4,000 rides provided each year.
a RUOK Calls allow for daily check-ins with clients to ensure they are properly supported and identify any needs that may arise, with more than 7,000 calls provided each year. a Family Caregiver Assistance Program addresses the special stressors of those who are caregiving through specialized training to more than 350 caregivers. a Intake and Referral Services provides resources, information, and education to nearly 2,500 seniors and their families annually.
Recently ElderHelp has seen a dramatic rise in need for our services, including from Santee seniors, with overall San Diego County requests increasing by more than 700 percent. In addition, many seniors served by ElderHelp have exhibited compounding needs from their time in COVID-19 isolation, requiring enhanced assessment of their barriers to independence and more robust service provision. We have leveraged our experience during the later months of the pandemic through a continuous assessment of senior needs, informing how we provide our core services of getting seniors to medical appointments, increasing the frequency of regular check in calls, delivering food and basic supplies, helping with any repairs or housing issues, and ensuring issues of isolation and anxiety are known and addressed as quickly as possible.
Our clientele are older adults, with an average age of 79, in predominantly Central and Eastern San Diego County. Most or our clients (96%) are either low income or very low income, and many in this underserved population are disabled, are at risk of falls, or have more than one chronic health conditions. Although many local agencies deliver services to the LMI senior population, ElderHelp meets a unique need - keeping them healthy, safe and stable in their own homes and, just as important, providing relief to their inadequate pocketbooks by providing our assistive services at no cost.
During the first half of FY23 our agency has increased services to Santee residents with 17 receiving ongoing care coordination services and 30 receiving information and referral services. For those who receive ongoing care coordination, we estimate service costs to be approximately $250 a month per senior. In the most recently completed fiscal year (FY22), ElderHelp served 58 Santee clients total.
With this funding, ElderHelp will serve approximately 65 Santee residents through all agency programs and services.
C. Who will carry out the activities, the period over which the activities will be carried out, and the frequency with which the services will be delivered (be specific).
We have six ongoing programs serving Santee that are administered on a daily basis throughout the year. 1 ) Our traditional Care Coordination program continues to provide high-level case management, where Care Coordinators work with clients to develop care plans and connect to services, including volunteer services. Volunteers support 3
City of Santee - Application for CDBG Funding
clients telephonically and in-person, providing relief from isolation and depression. As part of Care Coordination, ElderHelp offers nutritional services for seniors experiencing food insecurity, offering delivered food and essential supplies from ElderHelp's food pantry or the grocery store. 2) Housing Services: ElderHelp offers our HomeShare program a longstanding roommate matching service and housing consultation and navigation. All services are administered through our Housing Coordinators. 3) Seniors a Go Go Transportation is managed by our team of Transportation Coordinators. 4) RUOK Daily check-in calls are made by ElderHelp staff and trained volunteers who provide check-in calls to isolated and frail seniors, giving them peace of mind that their welfare is being attended to. 5) We are in the process of relaunching our Family Caregiver Assistance Program services to help local caregivers manage stressors.
Current training is offered through an online specialized program designed by ElderHelp staff. 6) Information & Referral service is provided by a front desk staff member and trained volunteers. Calls average 25-35 minutes as callers are dealing with complex issues, more so than ever with the economic impact of the coronavirus. The Information & Referral team provides resources and access to information to meet a variety of elder care needs.
D. Describe how the project meets the CDBG Program National Objectives, the City of Santee Priorities, or is included under the Eligible Activities. Please see the the Notice of Funding Availability to assist with this request.
Our clients' income levels correspond to the CDBG Program National Objectives of serving low to moderate income persons. In fact, 96oA of our clients are low or very low income. ElderHelp also meets the City of Santee priorities of assisting low to moderate income homeowners, since our mission is to asSist seniors to remain living independently in their own homes. ElderHelp serves socially isolated senior members, aged 60 and older, predominantly living in LMI households, the combination of which makes it difficult for them to adequately meet critical daily needs.
E. Agency/Nonprofit Organization Information:
Since 1973, ElderHelp has served as a 50lc3 nonprofit organization, helping over 253,000 older adults in need, including many seniors in the City of Santee. Our goal throughout nearly five decades has been to help older adults remain in their homes and enhance the quality of life for older adults through targeted services including Care Coordination, Housing Services, Seniors A Go Go, RUOK Calls, Family Caregiver Assistance Program, and Intake and Referral Services. The impact of ElderHelp's programs is clear: we keep seniors living safer, healthier, and longer in their own homes.
For instance, the 30 home safety and maintenance projects completed this past year by 4
City of Santee - Application for CDBG Funding
our volunteer home safety team prevented falls for 99 percent of our clients. Only one percent of these clients experienced a fall last year, a stark contrast to the national average of 25 percent of seniors experiencing a fall. Our care coordinators conducted 70 safety assessments to identify targeted services to prevent hospitalization. More than 96 percent of those assessed stayed out of hospitals and ERs-the national average on the other hand is 50 percent hospitalized or experiencing ER stays. Finally, 50 percent of San Diego's seniors experiencing homelessness became homeless for the first time in the past year. Our 25 Homeshare matches allowed 92 percent of participants to gain housing and financial stability, avoiding homelessness. All ElderHelp services kept seniors in their homes 10 years longer than the national average, allowing them to age in their homes and communities rather than costly long term care facilities. That extra 10 years save seniors and their families anywhere from $420,000 to over $1 million dollars depending upon the type of placement. We have positioned ourselves at the forefront of the aging in place movement and consistently strive to build collaborations and raise awareness that advance this goal and provide solace for the low-income, aging population in San Diego.
ElderHelp has received CDBG funding from the City or Santee every year since 2004.
That adds up to 19 years of support, strong evidence of a successful partnership.
F. Financial:
Describe your agency's Fiscal management procedures including financial reporting, record keeping, accounting systems, payment procedures, and audit requirements. Describe how records are maintained to ensure the project benefits targeted groups.
ElderHelp follows Board-approved accounting policies that are consistent with GAAP, using Quickbooks accounting soffware. The agency maintains an accounting procedures manual, which is updated as necessary and reviewed annually by an outside, independent auditor. Disbursement and payment procedures require that invoices and check requests be submitted/reviewed by the end user/spender, approved by a department manager and reviewed by the Executive Director. Checks are processed by the Accounting Specialist and signed by the Executive Director or the Associate Executive Director. Checks over $5,000 require two signatures. Bank statements are reconciled monthly by the Accounting Specialist and approved by the Executive Director. Restricted revenues are accounted for separately. Expenses are tracked by budget line item, specific to each program or revenue stream to ensure that designated funds are spent appropriately. Each month, the Board of Directors is presented with a complete set of financial statements which includes a Statement of Income & Expense Current Month and Year to Date showing the budget to actual, a Statement of Financial Position and a Cash Flow report. All accounting is performed by staff, and financial records are kept in the main office. While not a requirement, each year ElderHelp submits to an independent audit, which is presented to the Board by the auditor. The ultimate responsibility for financial oversight of CDBG expenditures will be Deborah Martin, CEO/Executive Director, and the Director of Finance, Sara Gongora. In addition, we keep a spreadsheet to track Santee participation, including phone inquiries, and report client numbers to the City of Santee on a quarterly basis

PROJECTIACTMTY INFORMATION
A. \/Vhat is the purpose/mission of the applicant agency? Meals on Wheels San Diego County (MOWSDC)'s mission is to empower seniors and veterans to remain independent by nourishing their bodies, minds, and spirits. Our vision is drive out senior hunger and isolation across our region. MOWSDC is part of the community safety net serving older adults with the home delivery of up to two nutritious meals a day at a subsidized price and accompanied by social visits, safety checks, and care navigator support with referrals if necessary. Many seniors experience chronic illnesses and disabilities making activities of daily living difficult. In many cases, seniors will become temporarily and/or permanently homebound. Becoming homebound prevents seniors from obtaining food, healthcare, support services, and engagement in social activities. Home delivery of meals, with daily safety and wellness checks, enables seniors experiencing these difficulties to more successfully navigate these challenges, avoid negative health impacts and maintain their preferred residence.
B. Briefly describe the purpose of the project, the population to be served, the area to be benefited and estimated number of Santee residents who would benefit from the project. Inc(usion of the estimated number of Santee residents served is required.
MOWSDC serves all of San Diego County, including the 3,049 square miles of rural and unincorporated areas. MOWSDC subsidizes 60% of the costs for meals, delivery, and other services provided, regardless of a senior's ability to pay. Further subsidies are provided for seniors who are experiencing severe financial difficulties.
The area to be served with this request is the entire City of Santee, including City of Santee's LMI Census Tracts. The service population includes older adults 62+ who are homebound and fall within the extremely low- to moderate-income bracket established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In the last completed City of Santee CDBG program year (7/1/2021-6/30/2022), MOWSDC provided nutritious meals to 97 Santee seniors. Historically, the seniors served in the City of Santee by MOWSDC have the following characteristics: 37% are aged 85+ and 37% are between 75 and 84 years of age; 51 % fall within the extremely low-income bracket (<30% of AMI); 45% fall 2
City of Santee - Application for CDBG Funding
in the very low-income bracket (30-80% of AMI) and 4% fall in the moderate-income bracket (80-120% OfAMl): 42% are female head of houSehOld; 24% are VeeranS; 40% live alone and 24% have disabilities.
For the City of Santee Program Year 2023 (July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023), MOWSDC is contracted to serve 83 unduplicated seniors in Santee. Per the Quarter 1 Report, MOWSDC had already served 38 unduplicated Santee seniors putting MOWSDC at 45% of its goal. For the City of Santee's Program Year 2024 (July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024) MOWSDC will serve 97 unduplicated seniors in Santee with the delivery of up to two meals a day accompanied by a safety check and social visit. CDBG funding will provide for food and packaging costs of 1,644 meals ($3.04 direct cost per meal) reducing the overall cost of each delivered meal. This will ensure a minimum subsidy of 60% from the total per-meal-delivered costs for every senior, and further subsidies will be offered to those who qualify.
C. Who will carry out the activities, the period over which the activities will be carried out, and the frequency with which the services will be delivered (be specific).
The MOWSDC East County Service Center located at 131 Chambers Street in EI Cajon services the City of Santee. The East County Service Center is managed by Mr. Tim Ray. (Please see details on his qualifications in Section F.) Daily meal deliveries are coordinated through a complex routing system to individual senior homes across the City of Santee using 400 volunteer delivery drivers coordinated by eight program staff. Fresh meals are produced for the program at the MOWSDC meal center and are packaged for delivery. Across the county, four service centers coordinate deliveries of hot and cold meal packages and beverages to 19 different drop-saites across the county. Vo1unteer drivers collect individualized meals at these drop sites and cover 127 weekday routes and 64 weekend routes to senior residences - ensuring between 1,000 and 1,800 daily, personal meal deliveries. The City of Santee's program is a component of the countywide services. The period in which the activities will be carried out will be during the City of Santee's CDBG Program Year 2023-2024 (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024). MOWSDC delivers meals and corresponding services to homebound seniors for everyday of the week (Sunday's meals delivered on Saturday). MOWSDC is the only meal delivery program that delivers on weekends and holidays.
D. Describe how the project meets the CDBG Program National Objectives, the City of Santee Priorities, or is included under the Eligible Activities. Please see the the Notice of Funding Availability to assist with this request.
MOWSDC's project for the City of Santee meets CDBG Program National Objective 1 by providing services to seniors considered extremely low- to moderate-income. Onehundred percent of seniors served in the City of Santee fall qualify the HUD LMI income levels. Additionally, the services provided are considered a high priority, as stated in the City of Santee's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan under Public Services for LMI-Resident, ensuring improved quality of life for seniors and other persons with special needs through supportive services.

Adding a conservative 5% brings us to 19,950 for 2023 individuals C.

We have a very committed volunteer staff who put in nearly 18,000 hours of their time and talent each year. In addition, the Board of Directors puts in numerous hours networking with the community, applying for grants, and overseeing the daily food bank operation. Our volunteers collect fresh donations from local stores 6 days a week. We are open every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8am to 1 jam. We also distribute government provided commodities on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. The commodity program provides food packs to an average of 250 households on a monthly basis.
Additionally, we partner with Sonrise Church to deliver our food to approximately 50 households with homebound individuals. This monthly shut-in food distribution assists those who are unable to leave their home,

Please complete Page 5 (CDBG Project Budget) itemizing revenues and expenses (sources and amounts) for the proposed project or activity in which CDBG funds would be used. Indicate how the requested CDBG Funds would relate to the overall proposed budget.
PROJECT\ACTMTY INFORMATION
A. What is the purpose/mission of the applicant agency? Voices for Children transforms the lives of abused, abandoned, or neglected children by providing them with trained, volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs).
B. Briefly describe the purpose of the project, the population to be served, the area to be benefited and estimated number of Santee residents who would benefit from the project. Inclusion of the estimated number of Santee residents served is required.
Voices for Children (VFC) respectfully requests $10,000 in CDBG funding to support the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program. The purpose of the project is to match children in foster care with consistent, caring volunteers, called CASAs, who fill a critical gap in the overburdened foster care system by ensuring that the best interests of the children are not overlooked. CASAs advocate on children's behalf in court and in the community.
VFC provides advocacy and support via the CASA program to children, ages 0-21, who are living in San Diego County foster care. While the foster care system affects youth and families of every race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic class, youth of co!or and LGBTQ youth remain overrepresented. Approximately 45% of the youth in San Diego County foster care are Hispanic/Latino, 26o/o are white, 11 % are Black, 4% are Asian, I '/o are Native American, and I 3% are some other race (San Diego County Child Welfare Services, 2022).
2
City of Santee - Application for CDBG Funding
VFC will provide CASAs to at least 1,550 unduplicated clients throughout San Diego County in fiscal year (FY) 2023-24. Based on data from previous years, we estimate that more than 20 children from the City of Santee will spend time in foster care during FY 2023-24. This grant, if awarded, will enable VFC to provide Tour (4) of these City or Santee children with the benefits of CASA advocacy.
C. Who will carry out the activities, the period over which the activities will be carried out, and the frequency with which the services will be delivered (be specific).
Through the CASA program, community volunteers called CASAs advocate on behalf or children in foster care under the supervision and guidance of VFC staff members called Advocacy Supervisors. All CASA activities funded by this grant will take place between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024. All CASAs first complete VFC's intensive 35-hour training course called Advocate University. They commit to serving for at least 18 months and spend 50-1 5 hours a month on their cases. Each month, CASAs visit with their assigned children and speak with family members, caregivers, teachers, healthcare providers, and child welfare professionals to gain a holistic understanding of each child's situation. For older youth who are preparing to transition out of foster care, CASAs help with finding safe housing, financial management, and many other life skills.
Twice a year, CASAs accompany their assigned children to court and submit comprehensive written reports that include case updates and identify the children's specific needs. Judges rely on these reports to make informed decisions about the children's housing, education, mental and physical health, and overall well-being. Many CASAs advocate for their assigned child beyond their 1 8-month commitment and throughout the child's time in foster care.
The advocacy provided to each individual child varies greatly from child to child.
Children in foster care are a diverse group in many ways. They range in age from O-21, and they enter the foster care system for a variety of reasons. Some children will only spend a few months in the foster care system, while others will remain in the system until they age out on their 21 st birthday. The disparate paths that children's cases take make it difficult to measure the quantity of the services we provide because the advocacy provided by each CASA is tailored to address each child's individual experience and needs during their time in the foster care system.
However, VFC's CASA program provides every participant with three distinct services:
1. An individual and personal relationship with a CASA volunteer, which is established through home visits and fun outings in the community;
2. The CASA's presence and verbal advocacy at regularly scheduled court hearings, child welfare meetings, and school meetings; and
3. The submission of detailed court reports that include case updates about the child and recommendations to the judge at all regularly scheduled court hearings (typically every six months).
VFC staff members called Advocacy Supervisors provide supervision and guidance to 40-50 CASA volunteers each. Advocacy Supervisors are the day-to-day contacts for CASA volunteers. They educate CASAs about the foster care system, assist them to 3
City of Santee - Application for CDBG Funding
identify community resources, and accompany them to school conferences, child welfare meetings, and court hearings. Advocacy Supervisors also maintain a 24-hour, 365-day cell phone line that CASAs can access in emergency situations. They ensure that each CASA has the training and resources they need to advocate on behalf of a child in foster care.
D. Describe how the project meets the CDBG Program National Objectives, the City of Santee Priorities, or is included under the Eligible Activities. Please see the the Notice of Funding Availability to assist with this request.
VFC exclusively serves children who have experienced abuse or neglect and are under the Court's jurisdiction. According to the u.s. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), abused and neglected children are presumed to be low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons. This project meets the City of Santee's priority of providing public services and activities to improve the quality of life for residents, specifically the special needs population of children in foster care.
Through the CASA program, VFC improves the quality of life for children in foster care.
This year, approximately 3,500 children will spend time in the San Diego County foster care system. Each child has experienced multiple and often compounding traumatic experiences in the form or child abuse and neglect at the hands of a caregiver or parent.
These experiences are often the result of intergenerational trauma caused by poverty, racism, and/or discrimination. Once in foster care, children face new stressors: being separated from their families, living with strangers, home placement transitions, and frequently lacking consistent and caring adult figures in their lives.
The overburdened and bureaucratic foster care system simply cannot meet the individual needs of the children it is supposed to protect. Its shortcomings-including daunting caseloads and a high turnover rate for child welfare professionals-result in additional childhood trauma that has lifelong impacts. Research shows that chi(dren in foster care experience poor educational outcomes, homelessness, and underemployment after spending time in the foster care system. Children are twice as likely as their peers to have anxiety, depression, developmental delays, and asthma (Turney and Wildeman, 2016). Only 54% of foster youth graduate high school within four years, compared to 83% of their peers, and only 4% of former foster youth obtain a college degree by age 26, compared to 36% or the general population (Educational Results Partnership and California College Pathways, 2019). According to John Burton Advocates for Youth, one in three youth who exits foster care in California experiences homelessness within two years.
Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that having one secure and supportive relationship promotes adaptive responses to trauma. While child welfare professionals and caregivers may come and go, CASAs Form enduring relationships with youth and provide them with consistent advocacy and support. They ensure that the unmet educational, physical and mental health, and housing needs of youth are not overlooked by advocating in court, in schools, and in the community. VFC is the only organization designated by the Superior Court to provide CASA services to 4

children in San Diego County foster care, including the City of Santee.
E. Agency/Nonprofit Organization Information:
VFC is an independent nonprofit organization that has been in operation since 1980. It was incorporated on December 1, 1982. The founders established VFC with the intention of mitigating the devastating effects of child abuse and long-term foster care.
They adopted an emerging model in which volunteers, called CASAs, are enlisted to ensure better housing placements and more positive life outcomes for children in foster care. VFC and its staff and volunteers have impacted thousands of San Diego County children in foster care over the past 42 years, including 117 from Santee who have been provided CASAs since 2014 alone. VFC is grateful to have received CDBG Tunding From the City of Santee for the past three (3) fiscal years. We are currently providing advocacy services to children in foster care in the City of Santee and have provided CASAs or Staff Advocates to 31 Santee children thus far into FY 2022-23.
VFC's primary program/service is the CASA program, which is the focus of this grant request. VFC also operates three sub-programs in San Diego County: the Case Assessment Program, the Case Liaison program, and the Juvenile Justice CASA program. Under the Case Assessment Program (CAP), VFC staff assess the case of every child who enters foster care and refer children with the greatest needs to the CASA program and children with less urgent needs to the Case Liaison program. CAP staff regularly monitor those children not provided either a CASA or a Case Liaison in case their needs elevate to a level requiring ongoing advocacy. Under the Case Liaison program, VFC staff called Case Liaisons are stationed in each of San Diego County's dependency courtrooms, including the dependency courtroom at the Superior Court East County Division located in EI Cajon. In addition to accessing the needs of children entering foster care, Case Liaisons provide direct advocacy services to children in foster care with less urgent needs and also support CASAs attending hearings in the Case Liaison's assigned courtroom. VFC's Juvenile Justice CASA program provides specialized advocacy services to justice-involved youth.
VFC will assess the case of each child who spends time in foster care in San Diego County and provide CASA or Case Liaison services to at least 2,100 of the estimated 3,500 children who will spend time in foster care during FY 2023-24.
