We are applying for a Minor Home Repair Program
CDBG National Objective Eligibility - How are you serving low income populations? Minor home repairs for low income households whose incomes are verified.

Income Verification: Describe how you obtain, verify, and maintain proof of income and presumed benefit status.

Third party documentation or client signatures on the certification forms must be available on file for review at all times.

Income verification is a standard requirement for all ESCMC programs. The income thresholds for the PMHR and Low Income Home Upgrade programs are consistent with San Mateo County and entitlement cities standards. We require documented proof of income for all programs, such as the Energy Savings Assistance program, which has strict qualification and income verification requirements. For PMHR program, we require the two most current proofs of income (pay check stubs or proof of amount given to applicant by Social Security, Disability or unemployment). A proof of ownership waiver needs to be signed by owner. Ownership of the home is verified by checking with the County Assessor's office. If the name on this waiver is different than the name that the house is under, the application will not be approved. Renters can apply but must have the property owner waiver signed by the owner of the house or apartment. All documents collected go into customer files and are available for review at all times. Along with maintaining appropriate documentation for new customers, the PMHR program will leverage existing documents on file and in ESCMC's database to ensure appropriate income verification is documented and maintained for all PMHR customers.

12. Project Specific Narrative: Provide a narrative description of the specific activities to be carried out with the requested funds. This should also include program objectives and key priorities for each specific jurisdiction.

The unique feature and benefit of the PMHR program is ECSMC’s holistic approach and considerable experience in providing home repair services to Extremely Low Income (ELI), Very Low Income (VLI) and Low Income (LI) residents including those on a fixed income. The PMHR program objectives are providing cost-effective minor home repair improvements/repairs focusing on:
• health and safety,
• housing quality standards,
• increasing energy/water conservation,
• making more homes eligible for energy/water weatherization improvements that would otherwise not be completed,
• and/or access modifications.

The key priorities of the PMHR program are to focus on its target audience on households who:
• need but are unaware of programs available to improve their homes through minor home repairs, • may be eligible for low-cost installation of energy/water conservation solutions, and • would benefit significantly from reducing monthly energy/household water expenses.

Under the PMHR program, the services provided to eligible homes include (but are not limited to):
• Attic insulation.
• Water heater wrapping
• Carbon monoxide/fire alarm inspections/installation
• Repair/replace heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) • Natural gas appliance testing
• Refrigerator replacement
• Water leak testing
• Energy audits/concurrent energy education
• Quality control inspections
• Repair/replace doors, windows, fences
• Weatheri

Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.

The PMHR program is in line with Redwood City's affordable housing priorities of preserving existing rental housing and improving he condition of existing housing. Continyul need for PMHR program is based on our experiences; as a contractor for PG&E's ESA program and PCE's Low Income Home Upgrade. Our specialists conduct minor home repairs such as broken or moldy windows or lack of accessibility modifications such as safety hand rails, which are unsuitable and unsafe, especially for children or t he elderly. Our target population of ELI/LI/LI and fixed income households cannot make these minor home repairs due to health conditions and/or financial reasons. Rebuilding Together Peninsula offers similar minor home repair services improving the conditions of existing housing within the city. However, such programs are limited to specific jurisdictions and do not have the necessary resources to meet all of the needs within Redwood City. The city's population is 84,292 (2020 US census est) with 9% living in poverty. and 12.7% seniors. In addition to improving safety, potential energy/water conservation measures yield savings in monthly utility bills, which in turn help provide economic opportunities by providing discretionary funds for families who are economically disadvantaged. Of Redwood City households, 34% are foreign born and 46.4% speak a non-English language, making PMHR's multilingual (English, Spanish, Chinese) and culturally-sensitive staff a great asset.

1/26/22, 3:31 PM City Data Services - South San Francisco https://www.citydataservices.net/cities/smatca/app2022arc.pl?rpt=C10954&prop=125 4/9 • San Mateo County: 20 households
• San Mateo City:7 households
• So San Francisco: 10 households.

15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments of goals to date.

FY22-23 PMHR program goals are:
• provide cost-effective home repair/improvements focusing on home safety and energy conservation through weatherization and electrification
• increase awareness/participation of ELI/VLI/LI minor home repair programs • provide “Green Job” opportunities through job training, internships and placement of residents in PMHR related training/employment
The success of PMHR will be measured by:
• # of homes receiving repairs that will improve home safety and comfort • # of ELI/VLI/LI homes with PMHR completed enabling ESA qualification • # of trainees who learn skills that make them job/certification ready • Ability to complete repairs within budget and timeline 20/21 we only completed 23 households, with 49% elderly, 49% female head of household, and 17% disabled (San Mateo County 19, San Mateo 3, and So San Francisco due to COVID-19. First two quarters of FY21-22, we provided PMHR services to 9 households and have enrolled and assessed an additional 30 units to-date for electrification program. Coordination of work is a challenge for now. We continue to face the challenges regarding income threshold documentation. Also, the high number of renters requesting assistance has impacted our service numbers. We continue to communicate with both city and county housing staff to overcome these obstacles.

Pending funding requests, the total number of units the FY22-23 PMHR program targets (with quarterly reassessments) are:b

16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and how it relates to the proposed project.

PG&E has contracted ECSMC for the past 14 years, providing us with extensive experience in reaching ELI/VLI/LI and fixed income residents, conducting energy usage assessments and arranging to install energy conservation and weatherization solutions as part of the Energy Savings Assistance Program. This partnership has helped ECSMC establish a positive reputation as an installation and repair service provider to ELI/VLI/LI households and has helped build a large customer base within the community. ECSMC also partners with governmental entities such as San Mateo County Energy Watch, performing outreach for the residential portion of the program and performing energy audits and handles quality-control inspections. We continue collaborating with Rebuilding Together, San Mateo Energy Watch, HEAP, Solar oversight and other providers that provide similar services to provide added services for our customers. ECSMC also partners with a number of community based organizations (CBO’s) and government entities over the years, such as the Chicana Latina Foundation, San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs program, One East Palo Alto, Free At Last, Nuestra Casa, Ecumenical Hunger Project, For Youth By Youth, San Mateo County Health Services Agency, JobTrain, Ravenswood Family Health Center, Voices of Recovery, and Second Harvest, that serve the area to increase the visibility of the PMHR program, along with our many other programs for ELI/VLI/LI residents.

17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these funds.

Last 10 years, grant funding has helped underwrite cost of PMHR program materials and labor, and a portion of the administrative costs related to program administration/management. These funds allow ECSMC to continue providing minor home repairs to residents homes who do not initially meet eligibility requirements for all energy/water conservation installments and now electrification conversion: because of required minor home repairs. Minor home repairs such as broken or moldy windows and faulty electrical work make these living environments unsuitable, especially for children or the elderly. ELI/VLI/LI households are unable to make these minor home repairs due to health conditions and/or financial reasons, and do not have the means to perform this work without assistance, resulting in a lost opportunity to receive maximum energy/water conservation services. By helping homes to become qualified for energy/ and water efficiencies, conservation, ELI/VLI/LI residents can realize necessary expense savings to help improve their quality of life. Without these funds, ECSMC would not be able to justify leveraging other limited funding and program resources to supplement the PMHR program, and would be forced to discontinue the PMHR program, resulting in a lost opportunity for ELI/VLI/LI and fixed income San Mateo County, and cities of Redwood, San Mateo and South San Francisco, residents. Added measure of Electrification conversion will addresses de-carbonation and climate change.

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:

A unique feature of the ECSMC's program is the multicultural staff. The ECSMC staff is multilingual beyond English (Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Tongan and Russian) and many come from households with limited income levels and live in the communities we serve as well. Which helps build a rapport with households that are often hesitant to contact non community-based providers due to cultural, linguistic barriers and document staus. In addition to privacy concerns. In South San Francisco, the percentage of households where a language other than English is spoken is 57.3%, in the County of San Mateo, 46.5%, City of San Mateo, 44.9%,and Redwood City 46,4% making PMHR’s multilingual staff a great asset in reaching a broad customer base. ECSMC attributes its success to working with all ethnic groups within the community to our organization’s use of a family centered, community based, and culturally focused model.

San Mateo County resident was first introduced to El Concilio when he was enrolled in PG&E's Energy Savings Assistance Program. He received new light fixtures, door weather stripping, gaskets for his outlets, shower heads, faucet aerators and wall repair to make his home energy efficient and enrolled in 20% discount. He was in need of an oven as well but the ESA program does not provide oven replacement so El Concilio suggested he enroll in the 1/26/22, 3:31 PM City Data Services - South San Francisco https://www.citydataservices.net/cities/smatca/app2022arc.pl?rpt=C10954&prop=125 8/9 San Mateo County Peninsula Minor Home Repair Program. Through this he received glass replacement on his broken windows, oven replacement, door weather stripping, gate repair and installation of new furnace registers.

He was so grateful for both of these programs because his income is so low that he would have not been able to cover the costs of these repairs

EL CONCILIO OF SAN MATEO COUNTY
3180 MIDDLEFIELD ROAD
REDWOOD CITY , CA 94063
(650) 373 - 1080
El Concilio of San Mateo County
Mission Statement
El Concilio of San Mateo County (ECSMC) is a 501 (c)(3) community organization committed to increasing education, employment and access to quality of life services for underserved communities of San Mateo County.

Attachment 10
El Concilio Of San Mateo County
Non-Discrimation Policy for Staff and Clients
It is the declared hire policy of ECSMC that employment shall be based on merit and qualifications, free of personal and political consideration and in no way will be discriminatory because of race, ethnicity, language, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, creed, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability or political affiliation.

It is the declared policy of ECSMC that services shall be free of personal and political consideration and in no way will be discriminatory because of race, ethnicity, language, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, creed, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability or political affiliation. (Adopted 10/2004)
Attachment 11
Reasonable Accommodations Policy for Staff and Clients
It is the declared policy of El Concilio of San Mateo County to make reasonable accommodation to the known physical or
mentallirnitations of an otherwise qualified employee, applicant, or client who has a qualifying disability. Qualified employees, prospective employees, or clients with disabilities may request a reasonable accommodation in order to perform essential
functions of their job, gain access to the hiring process, or use and benefit from its programs and services, provided the change does not pose an undue fmancial or administrative burden to El Concilio of San Mateo County or result in a fundamental alteration of its programs, services, or operations.

A qualifying disability is a physical or mental disability or medical condition that limits one or more major life activities.

Attachment 12
El Concilio of San Mateo County Conflict of Interest Policy The Board of Directors of El Concilio of San Mateo County has adopted the following policy designed to avoid any possible conflict between the personal interests of Board members or staff and the interests of the organization.

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that decisions about EI Concilio of San Mateo County operations and the use or disposition of EI Concilio of San Mateo County assets are made solely in terms of the benefits to EI Concilio of San Mateo County and are not influenced by any private profit or other personal benefit to the individuals affiliated with the organization who take part in the decision. In addition to actual conflicts of interest, board members and staff are also obliged to avoid actions that could be perceived or interpreted in conflict with EI Concilio of San Mateo County's interest.

Conflicts of interest may occur when EI Concillo of San Mateo County enters into transactions with not-for-profit organizations as well as those that are undertaken with profit-making entities. The best way to deal with this problem is to make known one's connection with organizations doing business with EI Concilio of San Mateo County and to refrain from participation in decisions affecting transactions between EI Concilio of San Mateo County and the other organization. Such relationships do not necessarily restrict transactions so long as the relationship is clearly divulged and non-involved individuals affiliated with EI Concilio of San Mateo County make any necessary decisions.

Directors. Any member of the Board of Directors who may be involved in a EI Concilio of San Mateo County business transaction in which there is a possible conflict of interest shall promptly notify the Chairman of the Board. The Trustee shall refrain from voting on any such transaction, participating in deliberations concerning it, or using personal influence in any way in the matter. The Trustee's presence may not be counted in determining the quorum for any vote with respect to a EI Concilio of San Mateo County business transaction in which he or she has a possible conflict of interest. Furthermore, the Trustee, or the Chairman in the Director's absence, shall disclose a potential conflict of interest to the other members of the Board before any vote on a EI Concilio of San Mateo County business transaction and such disclosure shall be recorded in the Board minutes of the meeting at which it is made. Any EI Concilio of San Mateo County business transaction which involves a potential conflict of interest with a member of the Board of Directors shall have terms which are at least as fair and reasonable to EI Concilio of San Mateo County as those which would otherwise be available to EI Concilio of San Mateo County if it were dealing with an unrelated party.

Staff. Any staff member who may be involved in a EI Concilio of San Mateo County business transaction in which there is a possible conflict of interest shall promptly report the possible conflict to the Executive Director. If the possible conflict involves the Executive Director, the possible conflict shall then be reported to the Chairman of the Board.

The Executive Director or, where applicable, Chairman, after receiving information about a possible conflict of interest, shall take such action as is necessary to assure that the transaction 1 is completed in the best interest of El Concilio of San Mateo County without the substantive involvement of the person who has the possible conflict of interest. (This does not mean that the purchase or other transaction must necessarily be diverted, but simply that persons other than the one with the possible conflict shall make the judgments involved and shall control the transaction. )
Each board member and senior staff member shall complete the attached questionnaire on an annual basis.

A written record of any report of possible conflict and of any adjustments made to avoid possible conflicts of interest shall be kept by the Executive Director or, where applicable, Chairman.

Definitions.
"Involved in an EI Concilio of San Mateo County business transaction" means initiating, making the principal recommendation for, or approving a purchase or contract; recommending or selecting a vendor or contractor; drafting or negotiating the terms of such a transaction; or authorizing or making payments from EI Concilio of San Mateo County accounts. That language is intended to include not only transactions for EI Concilio of San Mateo County's procurement of goods and services, but also for the disposition of EI Concilio of San Mateo County property, and the provision of services or space by EI Concilio of San Mateo County.

A "possible conflict of interest" is deemed to exist where the Director, or staff member, or a close relative, or a member of that person's household, is an officer, director, employee, proprietary, partner, or trustee of, or, when aggregated with close relatives and members of that person's household, holds 1% or more of the issued stock in the organization seeking to do business with EI Concilio of San Mateo County. A possible conflict is also considered to exist where such a person is (or expects to be) retained as a paid consultant or contractor by an organization which seeks to do business with EI Concilio of San Mateo County, and whenever a transaction will entail a payment of money or anything else of value to the official, member, to a close relative, or to a member of that person's household.

A "possible conflict of interest" exists when an individual affiliated with EI Concilio of San Mateo County has an interest in an organization which is in competition with a firm seeking to do business with EI Concilio of San Mateo County if the individual's position gives him or her access to proprietary or other privileged information which could benefit the firm in which he or she has an interest.

A "possible conflict of interest" exists when an individual affiliated with EI Concilio of San Mateo County is a trustee, director, officer or employee of a not-for-profit organization which is seeking to do business with or have a significant connection with EI Concilio of San Mateo County or is engaged in activities which could be said in a business context to be "in competition with" the programs of El Concilio of San Mateo County.

This policy statement shall be made available to each trustee and each person appointed to a El 2 Concilio of San Mateo County position which regularly involves initiation, review, or approval of significant EI Concilio of San Mateo County contracts or other commitments. Such people will be asked to sign the attached acknowledgment concerning reporting of potential conflicts of interest.

I have read and understand EI Concilio of San Mateo County's policy on Potential Conflicts of Interest. I agree to report promptly any such interest which arises in my conduct of EI Concilio of San Mateo County business and, in other respects, to comply with the policy and its procedures.
