IV. PROJECT NARRATIVE
A. Provide a detailed Proiect Description. 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:
Through the Critical Home Maintenance and Repairs Program, Habitat for Humanity Inland
Valley is providing both major and minor home repair and maintenance services to Lake
Elsinore residents. The goal of this project is to help keep homes affordable and to keep
families, seniors and veterans secure. These repairs lessen the financial impact that
unexpected or needed maintenance takes on household resources to keep homes
affordable and lower costs. We serve those most at risk for becoming homeless,
particularly those with income between 50-80% of the AMI as defined by HUD. Over 85%
of our clients are senior and/or veterans, and it has been reported that 1/3 of the homeless
population is made of families, making us painfully aware of how vulnerable those in need of
affordable housing are in need of our services.
Examples of types of projects that we will provide through this program include:
landscaping, window replacement, exterior painting, wheelchair ramp installation, fence
repair, weed abatement, and minor exterior fascia repair. Larger, more critical repairs
include roof repair, furnace or A/C installation.
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 from the City of Lake Elsinore will be used in part with volunteer labor to serve
low to moderate income homeowners within the City of Lake Elsinore. With volunteer labor,
our efforts and resources go farther and can reach more residents. CDBG funds will be
used to provide staffing, skilled labor, local subcontractors, construction materials for repairs
and maintenance projects, transportation expenses related to projects and fees/permits
required for projects.
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)?
Through this project, our goal is to serve between 15-30 individuals with 10-15 projects. In
the past we have proposed a higher number of individuals to be served, but we have found
that roughly 85% of those seeking services are either seniors or veterans with only one
individual within the home. As a result, our project numbers are higher, but individuals
served is lower.
We will measure and evaluate our success based upon services rendered and the number
of clients served. We utilize a client database system which helps us track each client,
types of services rendered and detailed costs so that we can understand what our
community really needs and how we can best deliver those services.
Because of our client management tracking software and accounting practices, we will know
when we reach our goal of serving 15-30 individuals with these services, providing 10-15
projects. We expect the majority of our clients will be seniors and/or veterans.
D. Please identify the project milestones using an Estimated Timeline for Project Implementation:
We will serve 15-30 individuals with 10-15 no -cost home maintenance and/or home repair
projects between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018. Once again, we anticipate that the
program will be most accessed by seniors, creating high project numbers and low individual
participation since many seniors only have 1-2 residents living within the home.
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.
15-30 individuals, 10-15 projects
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 a funding year):
15-30 individuals. Typically we serve 3-4 clients per project, but as mentioned previously,
when seniors or veterans seek our services, we typically only serve 1 or 2 individual clients
per project. We will also provide 10-15 projects.
C. length of proposed CDBG-funded activities or service (weeks, months, year):
52 weeks
D. Service will be provided to (check one or more):
Q Men
❑Q Women
❑Q Children (Range of children's ages : 0-16 )
❑ Homeless (Number of beds at facility:_)
El
❑■ Seniors
■❑ Severely Disabled Adults
❑ Migrant Farm Workers
M 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?
This program will be advertised through our website, fliers and our outreach campaigns.
Oftentimes we will identify and target neighborhoods where blight and low-income dictates
living conditions and canvass neighborhoods with fliers.
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?
Habitat has been providing similiar services since 2005 with minor home repair projects and
since 2013 with major home repair projects. Due to the success, and the increased need
within our community, we have expanded the concept to serve more residents with larger
projects. Since 1991, we have been committed to protecting, developing and preserving
home affordability.
VI. National Obiective
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.

Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2015
Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley is dedicated to serving families within southwest Riverside County.
One of the many ways that the agency accomplishes that is through the building of affordable homes for
worthy families. While that is the main focus, they also serve the entire community by participating in
neighborhood revitalization and beautification projects, senior minor home repair and most recently
reliabilitation of foreclosed homes creating affordable housing for families. In addition, the agency has
opened two R,eStore locations, one in Temecula and one in lake Elsinore.
Habitat Restore is a unique retail facility, operated by Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley, which offers
the community the opportunity to purchase new and used building materials, appliances and household
items at greatly reduced prices. The materials and appliances sold are donated by local vendors,
construction companies and individuals which are then resold to the public rather than being thrown
away and filling up landfills.
Families that Habitat f'or Humanity Inland Valley serves are considered low-income by HUD standards.
For families to be selected for a Habitat house, they must have income that cannot exceed 80% of the
Riverside County median income and they cannot qualify for conventional financing. Additionally,
families are selected on need, ability to pay and willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity. Each
family must contribute 300-500 "sweat -equity" hours in the construction of their home, or other Habitat
projects.
Habitat does not discriminate, nor are families chosen based on race, ethnicity or age. The agency
chooses families who meet the criteria set in our selection process and who demonstrate the biggest need
for assistance. Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to making affordable housing readily available within
southwest Riverside County.
The Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley, Inc. is a 501 (c)('3) nonprofit organization. The organization
maintains its books on the accrual basis of accounting.
