The description should only address or discuss the specific activities, services, or project that is to be assisted with CDBG funds. If CDBG funds will assist the entire program or activity, then provide a description of the entire program or activity: According to the 2014 Food Hardship in America report by the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC), our geographic location is the 10th Highest Metropolitan Statistical Area struggling with food insecurity with a 22.4% food hardship rate. HOPE's clients are desperate for assistance. 94% of our clients are extremely low income clients, earning only 30% of the AMI. Families are struggling to make ends meet, and food security and housing are the toughest needs to meet, but the most critical. Without access to food children are more likely to be sick more frequently, experience growth and development impairments, have lower academic achievements, and struggle with social and behavioral problems. Seniors without access to healthy and abundant food sources are at higher risk of illness and loss of independence, resulting in higher rates of depression, suicide and chronic disease. Through our Pantry Program we ensure that those at greatest risk of hunger receive the food they need to allieviate food -related consequences. We provide 12 days of food, or 36 meals to qualified individuals per month, serving nearly 400,000 meals to over 900 clients. B. Provide a detailed description of the proposed use of the CDBG funds only (e.g. client scholarships, purchase of specific equipment, rent, supplies, utilities, salaries, etc.): CDBG funds will be used to cover our most basic, but crucial costs including food, rent, utilities and supplies for our Pantry Program. In 2017/2018 we are looking for a larger facility, installation of a walk-in fridge or freezer, to reimplement the Backpacks for Kids program and to acquire a refrigerated truck. We would utilize funds from the CDBG program to assist in accomplishing those goals. C. What are the goals and objectives of the project, service, or activity? How will you measure and evaluate the success of the project to meet these goals and objectives (measures should be qualitative)? Our main goal is to ensure that those within our community do not go hungry and have access to food. We will provide 18,000 meals per month (216,000 meals per year) to 500 unduplicated Lake Elsinore residents. Using our client management tools, we log every individual and/or family who receives services from HOPE along with the type of assistance they receive. This gives us real time and accurate measurement of the individuals receiving assistance and reportable demographics necessary for progress and final reports. D. Please identify the project milestones using an Estimated Timeline for Project Implementation: We provide services year-round and will serve 500 unduplicated Lake Elsinore residents between July 1, 2017 -June 30, 2018. V. PROJECT BENEFIT A. Indicate the number of people or households that will directly benefit from your proposal using CDBG funds: Note: This is based on the expected number of clients to be served if the County funds your project for the requested amount. 500 unduplicated Lake Elsinore residents. B. Indicate the number of unduplicated clients that will be served (An unduplicated client is counted only once, no matter how many direct services the client receives during o funding year): 500 unduplicated Lake Elsinore residents. C. Length of proposed CDBG-funded activities or service (weeks, months, year): 12 months D. Service will be provided to (check one or more): ❑ Men ❑ Women ❑ Children (Range of children's ages : 0-18 ) ❑ Homeless (Number of beds at facility:_) in ❑ seniors ❑ Severely Disabled Adults ❑ Migrant Farm Workers ❑ Families E. What methods will be used for community involvement to assure that all who might benefit from the project are provided an opportunity to participate? Our Outreach Team regularly goes out into the community to deliver food and to spread the word tothose in need. We visit local trailer parks, and low-income areas of the city to make food deliveries and work with other agencies for referrals. Other agencies including the Lake Elsinore Unified School District and DPSS also refer clients to our services. F. What evidence is there of a long-term commitment to the proposal? Describe how you plan to continue the work (project) after the CDBG funds are expended? HOPE has been meeting the needs of those in desperate need of food for over 24 years. CDBG funds have been instrumental in our ability to leverage other funds and partners, however, it is not our only source of income. We have collaborated with other agencies for referrals and partnered with local markets to receive fresh supplies. Vi. National Objective All CDBG-funded activities must meet at least one of the following National Objectives of the CDBG program. indicate the category of National Objective to be met by your activity. CATEGORY A: Benefit to low -moderate income persons (must be documented). Please choose either subcategory 1 or 2: 1. limited Clientele: The project serves clientele that will provide documentation of their familysize, income, and ethnicity. Identify the procedure you currently have in place to document that at least 51% of the clientele you serve are low -moderate income persons. Through client intake forms and income verification we confirm that all clients receiving services through HOPE are low income persons as determined by HUD guidelines. 2. Clientele presumed to be principally low- and moderate -income persons: The following groups are presumed by HUD to meet this criterion. You will be required to submit a certification from the client (s) that they fall into one of the following presumed categories. The activity will benefit (check one or more) ❑ Abused children ❑ Battered spouses ❑ Elderly persons ❑ Severely disabled adults ❑ Homeless persons ❑ Illiterate adults ❑ Persons living with AIDS ❑ Migrant Farm workers a. Describe the clientele above to be served by this activity: Through client intake forms and income verification we confirm that all clients receiving services through HOPE are low income persons as determined by HUD guidelines. b. Discuss how this project directly benefits low- and moderate- income residents: HOPE only serves those in desperate need of assistance within our community. It is our commitment to ensure that those most vulnerable receive assistance, particularly those who do not have adequate means to purchase food for themselves and/or their families. The majority of our clientele are extremely low-income clients as defined by HUD. For the 9,000 residents in Lake Elsinore living below the poverty line, food costs could easily equate to 30-40% of their monthly income based on USDA food cost guidelines. Given that the average rent of $1,237 is roughly 60% of a family of four's monthly income, 30-40% for food is not realistic, leaving residents to make tough choices about food security. HOPE ensures that these families and residents have the food they need to stay healthy and secure. CATEGORY B: Area Benefit - The project or facility serves, or is available to, ALL persons located within an area where at least 51% of the residents are low/moderate-income.
