PROGRAM NATIONAL OBJECTIVES The primary objectives of the programs are to help develop viable urban communities through the provision of decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. ANY activity you propose to accomplish with CDBG funds MUST meet one of three National Objectives: CDBG Program 1.

There are restrictions on what specific activities are pertnitted. 3. Urgent need- These involve activities that meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious threat to the health and welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. This is very rarely used and only applies in an extreme emergency. Federal Grant Programs Fact Sheet Page 2 of9 01Y Of CHUlA VISrA HOME Program 1.

One recommendation was that the update of the General Plan includes policies on historic preservation. The draft General Plan does include Objective EE 9 that states: "Protect Chula Vista's important cultural resources and support and encourage their accessibility to the public, Policy EE 9.3 associated with that objective states: "Discourage disruption, demolition, and other negative impacts on historic cultural resources."

Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: The specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested is a program of comprehensive fair housing services in partial fulfillment of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) requirements that entitlement cities (the City of Chula Vista) engage in fair housing planning, pursuant to the completion of an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to fair housing choice. The services will help the City's activity to establish a "Consolidated Plan" part of which identifies the jurisdiction's overall fair housing needs especially as they pertain to fair housing choices of area home seekers. Following the impediments analysis, the local govemment must establish its Fair Housing Action Plan, which outlines strategies and activities that will constitute its programs for addressing those identified impediments to fair housing. The jurisdiction is also required to maintain records of the activities undertaken to overcome the identified barriers to fair housing choice. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? The FHCSD leverages CDBG funds from other jurisdictions. Accordingly, the agency is able to offer services 10 the City on a pro-rata share basis with other regional jurisdictions who have the duty to provide fair housing services. The FHCSD receives the following addi1ional CDBG gran1s City of San Diego-$1 00000 City of Na1ional City $21000 City of Oceanside $ 40000 10.

The FHCSD can also take notice that those families that advise that they receive HUD housing assistance, Social Security or other fixed income sources will be likewise recorded in accordance with HUD requirements. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. N/A "-:.: 01Y Of CHUIA VISJ'A ~!ft- - - Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 8 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? To supplement its budget, the FHCSD applies for various fuds to support non CDBG activities and to enhance the jurisdic1ion's programs and affirmatively further fair housing, including other federal grants which are announced periodically by HUD for Fair Housing specialized programs. (i.e. HUÐ's Super NOF A & Fair Housing Ini1iatives Program, a compe1etive gran1 provess). The FHCSD also, (recently in alternate years) conducts an annual Fair Housing Luncheon, as a stand alone funded activity, since it is funded 1hrough regis1ra1ions.

Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: . The Regional Task Force on the Homeless, is the only program of its kind in our county and although not a traditional direc1 service provider does offer homeless individnals resource and referral infonnation. Ultimately its immediate clients are usually local jurisdictions, service agencies, and other interested parties who are seeking to end homelessness in San Diego, Its servIces assist these agencies and jurisdictions in providing the best services and programs that help the homeless. The homeless in Chula Vista are clearly a low-income population, and range in age, gender and location. Chula Vista benefits from the Regional Task Force on the Homeless because of the resources it provides to agencies within Chula Vista who are dedicated to ending homelessness. It also serves to help local jurisdictions find region-wide solutions to homelessness. Effective countywide planning and coordination reduces the amount of staff resources each individual jurisdiction otherwise has to allocate in addressing the homeless. ~!ft. -"-- ~ OIY Of 0fU1A V/SfA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: The Chula Vista Firefighters Foundation (CVFF) was founded in late 2003 and began establishing services to the community in 2004. The foundation either provides or will be providing three primary services: 1. Communitv Relief - Individuals or families who are victims of disasters are provided gift certificates to local grocery stores and Target so that they may purchase essential items for short-term relief, and if needed, vouchers to local hotels. Blankets, food gift cards, and vouchers to local motels for the homeless are also part of the community relief program. 2. Car Seat Safetv - Provide low-income families with a voucher for a car seat to ensure that all children are secured properly in vehicles. 3. Bicvcle Helmets - Provide low-income families with a voucher for a bicycle helmet to ensure the health and welfare of children while they are riding their bicycles, 4, ScholarshiDs - College scholarships are awarded to high school seniors each year to support studies public safety and health related fields, 5. Burn Institute - Support to the San Diego Burn Institute who provides services to all residents of San Diego County who are survivors of life-altering burns. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: The target population is primarily the Chula Vista citizens located in the southwest and northwest areas of the city. Anyone who falls victim to a disaster, such as a fire, may require short-term assistance, however it is the low-income who generally do not have the financial resources to allow them to deal with the cost of the disaster, The homeless are in need of food and shelter and frequently turn to the fire department for assistance. Too many times, firefighter are called on a medical assist only to meet families who children do not have car seats because they cannot afford to purchase one. The CVFF has the ability to provide all three shifts at each of the seven, and soon to be eight, fire stations throughout Chula Vista with gift cards, blankets, and hotel and car seat vouchers, The fire department staff has agreed to partner with the foundation on this project since the staff has daily interactions with the public. Last year the fire ~{ft. --- ~ cnv Of CHUIA VJSrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of9 department responded to 13,000 calls. Of those, 1,300 were for fire of a structure and 10,400 were for medical emergencies, including car accidents. Firefighters have access to all Chula Vista citizens in their most critical time of need; therefore they serve as the best ambassadors to reach out to the community, 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: Funds are being requested for the Random Acts of Kindness program, which includes community relief and car seat safety services: · Gift certificates to local grocery stores · Gift certificates to Target for clothing, diapers, and person hygiene items · Vouchers for one-night hotel stays at local hotels · Vouchers for car seats at Target 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? Funds will be used 100% to purchase the following: · Gift cards from two local grocery stores, Vons and Albertson's in $50 and $100 demotions, $50 for individuals or couples and $100 for families of more than two people. All cards are marked for food and personal hygiene items only. · Gift cards from Target, which are marked for personal hygiene, clothing, or bedding items only. · Vouchers for car seats at Target. The family may take the voucher into a local Target and exchange it for a car seat. · Vouchers for local motels, · Purchase of blankets. The Chula Vista Firefighter Foundation will also leverage funds from private donations, grants, United Way, sale of car donations, and the percentage of sales that comes from the use of grocery cards to underwrite the cost of the Random Acts of Kindness program, ~I~ -~- ~ OIVQf CHUlA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 9 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? Demographic and income levels will be determined based on call for fire service sheets, which provides the geographic location. Fire Captains, who will be making the determination to disburse Random Acts of Kindness, will keep a log of the location and type of "Kindness" provided. Measurement of success will be the following: 1. Distribution of 120 grocery gift certificates for community relief 2, Distribution of 40 Target gift certificates for community relief. 3. Distribution of 20 vouchers for motel stay. 4. Distribution of 10 vouchers for car seats. 5. Distribution of 20 blankets for the homeless. 11.

In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services? The CVFF will continue to provide Random Acts of Kindness but on a smaller scale. The foundation will ensure that victims of disasters have some assistance and that the homeless have blankets or a night stay at a local motel. Without adequate funding, the foundation will either not provide vouchers for car seats or only provide the number that can be afforded. Although there are other organizations that provide emergency assistance in a disaster, such as the American Red Cross, citizens throughout the year come to the local fire stations asking for help. It's not our nature to turn someone in need away empty handed, The Chula Vista Firefighter Foundation will ensure that at least some level of "Kindness" is provided to those low income individuals who have been in a disaster, are homeless, or just do not have the financial ability to provide car seats for their children, 14. Who will be providing the program services? Please briefly describe the qualifications of key staff. Chula Vista Firefighter Foundation is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to enhance the qualify of life for all Chula vista citizens by supporting fire safety, community programs, disaster relief, and encouraging fire suppression careers.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: The Chula Vista Literacy Team (CVLT), located in the South Branch of the Chula Vista Public Library, provides literacy services to adults, families and elementary school children. Since 1987, with the help of hundreds of volunteer tutors, we have helped over 1,000 adults improve their literacy skills and achieve personal gnals. We recruit and train volunteers to work I: I with adult leamers who are functionally illiterate. 10 addition, we offer small-group classes in a variety of subjects such as basic phonics and spelling, basic writing, and citizenship preparation. We also provide technology-aided instruction in our Computer Learning Lab with the most current educational software, educational video courses (OED, English-as-a-Second Language) and other audio-based instruction. Learners with small children are enrolled in our family literacy program, where they learn about the importance of creating a language-rich home environment and how to cultivate emergent literacy skills in their children, thus breaking the cycle of illiteracy. Families attend special story times designed to promote fun and easy early literacy activities and receive special gift books. Additionally, each month parents are given $10 in new age-appropriate books to bring home and build their own home libraries. LEAP Into Reading is our after school literacy tutoriog program for children in 3rd to 6th grades who are having trouble with reading in school. Two times each week for eleven weeks, students attend a one-hour class which consists of 25 minutes of direct phonics instruction by a paid staff member, followed by small group tutoriog with trained volunteers to reinforce the concepts presented in the lesson. 7, Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: We target Chula Vista residents with low literacy skills who lack the foundation they need to find and keep decent jobs, support their children's education and participate actively in civic life. Studies show that there is a strong link between low literacy and povertY and not surprisingly, over 90% of our students are low-income. Many of the adults who corne to the Literacy Center have attended high school or adult schools but have been unable to succeed in the traditional classroom environment. Adult learners who come to the Literacy Center are looking for the individualized instruction and support that we provide. The Literacy Team addresses a fundamental need in our community: approximately 47% of the adults in Chula Vista are considered to be functioning at the two lowest (out of 5 possible) literacy levels, according to estimates &om the National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS). Literacy experts believe that adults with skills at Level I and 2 lack a sufficient foundation of basic skills to function successfully in our society. For example, almost all adults in Level I can read a little but not well enough to fill out an application, read a food label, or read a simple story to a child. Adults in Level 2 usually can perform more complex tasks but do not have higher-level reading and problem-solving skills. Low literacy affects not only individuals, but the community as well. Employers struggle to find employees who have the skills needed to fill available jobs. Schools are impacted as children &om low- literacy environments enter kindergarten lacking the pre-reading skills they need to become successful students. Even medical providers are beginning to study the effects of literacy issues on patients' health and the rising costs of providing services. ~Ift. ~ ""'OF CHlJ\A VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: We are requesting CDBG funds to support our adult literacy services. Adult leamers come to the Literacy Center with special needs and goals which may include learning to fill out job applications or other important documents, reading to their children and helping with homework, writing memos, notes or personal checks, reading written medical instructions, improving communication skills, or using a computer, to name a few. We help them meet this "real time" need and address their basic literacy needs. Upon enrollment in our program, learners meet 1:1 with a staff member for a comprehensive assessment of their reading, writing and basic literacy-related life skills. Ooce the assessment compilation is complete, the Coordinator meets with the student to review the results and set appropriate literacy goals. As volunteer recruitment is a limiting factor in the number of students we can match, we offer small group classes at a variety of times to meet the diverse needs of our students. We are able to provide special classes as the needs of our students change. For example, this year we hosted a voter workshop and offered small group citizenship preparation classes. (Four students passed the Citizenship Test and five of our students voted for the first time.) Students are encouraged to come to our computer lab, which is equipped with software to meet the needs of the lowest level learners and those whose skills are more advanced. Programs range !Tom basic phonics instruction to grammar and writing skills. We have the ability to customize spelling programs to individual needs. Students can develop vocabulary and practice pronunciation with specialized English-as-a- Second Language software, practice typing skills and learn to use the Internet for email and web- based instruction. After 100 hours of instruction, students are post-tested. Once the evaluation is completed the Coordinator meets with students and tutors to review progress, evaluate the current instructional methods and materials, and if appropriate, establish new goals. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, eb:.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? CDBG funds will enable the Chula Vista Literacy Team to leverage additional dollars through the California State Library's Matching Funds program. $6,500 in CDBG funds will be pooled with Matching Funds to support a .35 FTE contract position for a bilingual Computer Lab Assistaot, who will orient new students to the computer lab, assess their computer literacy skills and recommend appropriate computer programs. She will also work 1: 1 with students as needed and monitor their progress. In addition, $1,000 in CDBG funds will be combined with a donation from the Friends of the Library and a grant from the San Diego Council on Literacy to leverage the cost of a .75 FTE Literacy AmeriCorps Member (L*AC) for one year. The L*AC will pre- and post-test students, work 1: 1 with adults, teach small group classes and assist with the after school tutoring program. The balance of the CDBG funds ($500) will be used to purchase tutor training and instructional materials and supplies to support the work of the local Chula Vista Literacy Center, a volunteer- based tutoring program that provides ESL services to adults, using the Laubach System. ~!~ ~ 01Y OF CHUA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 9 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? Student demographic information and instructional activities are maintained in an extensive database. Detailed records are kept of all tutoring sessions, small group classes and computer lab usage. Student progress, including gains on standardized test scores, employment-related achievements, commuoity activities and personal goal attainments are also entered into tbe database. Information on student progress is collected ftom montbly tutor reports, ongoing commuoication witb Literacy staff and post-assessment interviews. Montbly reporting to Library Adminis\ration includes number of clients served, number of sessions attended and programming highlights and trends. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. We are applying for 2005-06 CDBG funds in collaboration with tbe local affiliate oftbe Laubach Literacy Couoci~ known as tbe Chula Vista Literacy Center. The Chula Vista Literacy Team is requesting $7,000 to leverage tbe cost of a .35 FTE Literacy Assistant and a .75 FTE Literacy AmeriCorps Member. The Chula Vista Literacy Center (Laubach) is requesting $500 to purchase tutor \raining and instructional materials. Invoices for Laubach material purchases are forwarded to tbe Chula Vista Literacy Team for payment. ~!~ ~ CllYOF QUA VJSrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of 9 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? We apply for grants and solicit donations to supplement our budget annually. In Fiscal Year 2004-05 we have applied for and received funds from the California State Library (CLLS grants), the California Department of Education's Workforce Investment Act (WIA) 231 Grant program, CDBG, and donations from local service clubs, business and private donors totaling: $83,373 to date. In Fiscal Year 2005-06 we will continue to aggressively pursue new grant opportunities and develop relationships with local donors. However, due to the State budget crisis we anticipate funding from the California State Library (our largest outside revenue source) will be reduced this year. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer selVices. CDBG funding is vital to our ability to provide literacy services to our adult learners. The bulk of these funds will used to leverage the cost of an experienced, bilingual, part-time Computer Lab Assistant. We recognize that technology-aided instruction is an effective learning tool only if we can dedicate a staff member to assist students and monitor their progress. By stationing this staff member in the lab, we are able to provide literacy instruction to students who are waiting to be matched with a volunteer tutor or who are unfamiliar with the use of computer technology, Without this experienced person, we would be significantly restricted in the number of students we could serve and in the effectiveness of this powerful resource. We are committed to finding resources to cover the cost. We would continue to search for grants to subsidize this contract position. As a last resort we would have to reduce the number of hours the lab is open. The loss of this position would impede our effectiveness as a literacy provider at a time when our services are desperately needed in our community. ~!f? ~ mY OF QUA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 6 of 9 14. Who will be providing the program services? Please briefly describe the qualifications of key staff . The Computer Lab Assistant is bilingual (English/Spanish), familiar with both Macintosh and Windows operating systems and knowledgeable of educational software programs. For the past four years this individual has worked with low literacy adult learners both as a volunteer and as a paid contractor, Three part-time staff members have a total of25 years of experience in adult literacy services. Each member has tutored adult learners and has been trained to conduct pre- and post-interviews using multiple assessment tools. The Coordinator of the Chula Vista Literacy Team Center has held this position since 1998. She originally joined the Team as a volunteer tutor in 1994. She has been trained in the Wilson Reading System, a highly structured multi-sensory curriculum for teaching phonics to learners who show characteristics of a language processing disorder; and in the Lindamood system, which uses special techniques to teach learners with auditory processing difficulties. The Director of the Laubach Literacy Center, has trained tutors and taught English-as-a- Second Language for over twelve years. 15.

Recreation supervisors will visit the sites on a regular basis to promote the program and train youths ages 8 - 15 years on the skills required to successfully advance in the competition. We should receive CDBG funding because this is a nationally recognized program that services youth ages 8 - 15 years and helps promote long-term physical activity. In addition, the NFL provides hosts with all the equipment necessary, awards for all participants and curriculum for instructional classes. ~I~ - - Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of9 - _Qrr 9F_. 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: Co-sponsored by NFL Pepsi Punt, Pass and Kick as a physical activity creating a lively and engaging forum for boys and girls ages 8 - 15 to compete separately against their peers in punting, passing and kicking skills. The National Football League wants every child to be given equal opportunity to compete. Therefore, there is no registration fee or purchase required for any participant to enter. All contestants must fill out a waiver form, which they can obtain from 30,000 flyers that will be distributed to all elementary and middle school 8 - 15 years aged youths and they must provide a valid birth certificate for age verification. 14 staff and 10 volunteers run the program. We will be the Local Host for all of the City ofChula Vista. In addition, we have been selected to be the Sectional Host for the San Diego and Imperial Counties Section with II staff and 10 volunteers. The local competition will take place in September 2005 and the Sectional Competition will take place in October or November 2005. All first place fInishers from the local competitions move on to the sectional competition. Winners from the Sectional Competition move on to the RegionaI/National Competition (Team Championship) at Qualcomm Stadium in December 2005. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? $810.00 will pay for the two-sided promotional flyers, $697.00 will pay for the staff costs on the day of the Local Competition Event and $437.00 will pay for staff costs on the day of the Sectional Competition Event, totaling $1,944.00. ~!~ --- __C!ftQF~_ Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 9 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? On the waiver form there is additional voluntary tracking information for household income, race, age, school, and address. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. The participating agencies will be the NFL providing us with the equipment and guiding curriculum. The other collaborative agencies will be the New Directions and Beacon Family Resource Centers that will assist us with time and an area at the schools to teach the students the skills necessary to participate in the event. CDBG funds will only be used for Recreation staff fees and printing costs. No funds will be distributed to the Family Resources Centers nor the NFL. ~!~ - - ~ --QrrQF-- Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of 9 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? Currently, we only purse gift donations for free special events. We receive gift donations from WalMart, Coscto, The Family Fun Center, Roller Skate Land, and the Chula Vista Center Mall totaling a combined gift donation of $600.00 for the previous fiscal year. Last fiscal year we also received a donation of $350.00 from the Police Athletic League (PAL) that helped to pay for a PAL vs. Youth Leader Basketball Tournament. ~!~ - - ~ __~9t:.. Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 6 of 9 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. We will have to severely limit the amount of registrants we can accept. With the CDSG funding we can successfully run the program with 500 participants. Without the funding, we can run it with less than 100 because only the recreation supervisors and volunteers will be involved in the program. We will still work in collaboration with the family resource centers to get their students involved and trained on how to compete before the competition. Finally, we will not be able to host the Sectionals competition because it would require more staff where y using only volunteers would not suffice. 14. Who will be providing the program services? Please briefly describe the qualifications of key staff . Recreation Supervisors, Recreation Specialists, Recreation Leaders, and Recreation Aides. All staff have been trained on the three parts to the competition and how to perform the specific duties within.

Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: The importance of trained guards is vital to each and every community. The skills necessary to save a persons life are at the base of every training. To be a well trained professional lifeguard is a respectable profession which could lead to other safety related positions. Another important issue related to lifeguarding is the lack of minorities qualified and or even exposed to the opportunity to be a lifeguard. This is an important issue in our community. The recruiting of minorities is difficult at best due to lack of exposure, opportunity and cultural boundaries. We believe this is an excellent opportunity to begin a change in attitude and self esteem for the community as well we the students. ~!~ -'-- =Of OiUIA VISrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8.

Describe the services you provide to your clients: The COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM is a unique recreational projeclthat not only targets individuals who are challenged by severe and profound disabilities but provides as well the specialized accommodations they require in order to participate in a leisure/recreational activity. The COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM provides one-ta-one supervision, hands-on care, and door-to-door, wheelchair accessible transportation, to make it possible for individuals with severe disabilities to have the same opportunities as everyone else to leave their homes and enjoy a leisure/recreational activity alongside their neighbors. For three years the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM has opened doors, removed barriers, and has enriched the lives of many Chula Vista residents with severe disabilities and, to date, has made available over 5,000 specialized recreational opportunities throughout San Diego County - free of chargel Together, the Chula Vista Recreation Department's Therapeutic Program and the Cheneweth Foundation's COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM will collaborate to enhance the leisure/recreational opportunities for individuals with disabilities who reside in the city of Chula Vista. Three times monthly the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM will provide supervision and care as well as door-to-door, wheelchair accessible transportation forChula Vista residents attending a Therapeutic Program's recreational activity. This partnership will provide a service that will ensure the participation and inclusion of individuals with severe disabilities in leisure/recreational activities provided by the Chula Vista Recreation Department's Therapeutics Program. 7. Please describe the target population and why this program should receive CDBG funding: The COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM was designed to fill a serious gap that exists for individuals whose disabilities are in the severe and profound range. Many individuals, who make Chula Vista their home, do not have the freedom to experience and enjoy their community and the leisure/recreational opportunities it affords. What we so often take for granted is ai/ but a dream for some, because their physical and/or cognitive circumstances prevent them from being independent. To simply take in a Friday night movie, eat out at a restaurant, or even attend a Padres game, is difficult or impossible for someone challenged by a severe or profound disability. Indeed, many of Chula Vista's dear citizens are isolated and immobilized because they do not have the necessary assistance they need to leave their homes, access their communities, and pursue their interests! In a very real sense, many individuals with severe disabilities are trapped. They spend most of their hours indoors where they live. They seldom have the opportunity to experience life outside of their immediate surroundings, and are almost never given the opportunity to go on an outing or field trip that is specifically designed around their special needs. Although there are various recreational programs for individuals with disabilities, no programs exists, outside the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM, for the many individuals whose disabilities are in the severe and profound range. Traditional recreational programs for the disabled do not have the necessary resources to assist the severely disabled with the specialized accommodations they require in order to participate. One-to-one supervision, hands-on care, and adaptable transportation are all needed to completely address the issue of community inclusion for individuals with severe and profound disabilities. Both the Therapeutic Program and the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM taraet individuals with disabilities. With CDBG funding support from the city of Chula Vista, more individuals with disabilities will have leisure/recreational opportunities and those individuals whose disabilities fall within the severe and profound range, will be guaranteed the supervision and care of a personal assistant and door-to-door, adaptable transportation. This collaboration addresses the participation of everyone, regardless of the severity of their disability and the size of their accommodations! Community Development Block Grant Program FY 2004-05 Funding Application Page 3 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: In September 1999, the Cheneweth Foundation launched the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM - a pioneering project in San Diego County for individuals with severe and profound disabilities. CAP's philosophy was straightforward... That all persons, regardless of their life challenges, should have the opportunities to have fun and pursue their interests! Its concept was unique... To offer supportive leisure activities specifically for those individuals who are typically excluded from recreational opportunities because of their specialized support needs. And its promise was sincere... We will do whatever it takes to make certain that individuals with severe disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone to leave their homes and be included as mainstream community participants - including Chula Vista residents! The barriers preventing these special people from experiencing and enjoying the things we so often take for granted were not small; and the coordination and implementation of such a comprehensive undertaking was going to be difficult. But amid much dialogue of "how to' and 'what if,' the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM always established the same bottom line - "we will do whatever it takes.' And they did! For three years, the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM has provided a service that is invaluable and heartfelt and has bridged a most serious gap that existed for individuals with severe and profound disabilities. Every weekend, Saturday and Sunday, and some weeknights too, CAP staff, volunteers, and vehicles embark from the program's National City site and travel to the various regions of San Diego County, including the city of Chula Vista, to provide leisure/recreational excursions and activities that are fun, meaningful, and safe! Activities range from a simple eveing out to dinner to an all day excursion to Disneyland or Wild Animal Park! Sports events, perfuming arts, and harbor excursions are all part of what the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM has to offer. Participants receive transportation, supervision, and professional care, as well as socialization, companionship, and a sense of self-worth and belonging. Over 1 ,000 recreational opportunities are offered to COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM participants a year - free of charger Community Development Block Grant Program FY 2004-05 Funding Application Page 4 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? The Charles I. Cheneweth Foundation will utilize its SDBG funds to directly support the ·basic expenses· of COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM recreational outings that are provided for Chula Vista residents. The basic expenses cover the wages of the staff (outing supervisor, drivers, and recreational assistants), vehicle fuel, and entertainment costslfees. if applicable. Please see the attached Outing "Basic Expense" Breakdown. All other program and overhead costs necessary to maintain such a program are provided for within the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM 2003 annual budget. Please see the attached 2005 - 06 Proposed Budget. The COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM will provide three recreational outings a month for Chula Vista residents in collaboration with the Therapeutics Program. Community Development Block Grant Program FY 2004-05 Funding Application Page 5 10. Has your organization met or exceeded the stated program objectives of the preceding year? Please describe. This year the Community Access Program met the program objectives. The success of meeting these objectives is measured by the number of programs offered, increased community awareness through participation in collaborations, number of staff trained for Inclusion and evaluations of programs. Bi-monthly advisory board meetings, surveys, co- sponsored community events/tournaments assist with assessing community needs and new program development. Annual surveys of all participants and families measure the success of the program. Income levels are not tracked. 11.

What types of fund-raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during your organization's fiscal year? The COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM is an ongoing project that is dependent on philanthropic funding and govemmental grants. Our request from the City of Chula Vista is for funds that will allow us to continue to offer leisure/recreational opportunities to individuals with severe disabilities in Chula Vista. Monies raised and eannarked for the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM during 2003 - 2004 totaled $201,000.00.

In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services? The Charles I. Cheneweth Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) charitable organization and the CoMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM, for which we are requesting funding is solely dependent upon fund raising for its continuation. Because of the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM'S extraordinary services, extraordinary support from its community is needed to ensure that individuals with severe and profound disabilities are not forgotten and left behind. Without CDBG funding from the City of Chula Vista, program services would most likely be influenced - the frequency of opportunities provided and the numbers of Chula Vista residents served would be reduced. In essence, the support of the City of Chula Vista will make it possible for the COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM and the Chula Vista Recreation Departmenfs Therapeutics Section to collaborate greatly enhancing the leisure/recreational opportunities and services for individuals with disabilities in Chula Vista. This partnership will ensure the participation of anyone, and the exclusion of none! Community Development Block Grant Program FY 2004-05 Funding Application Page 7 14.

Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should receive CDBG funding: The target population of this program is the childcare providers and those applying to be licensed providers in Chula Vista. This program provides enrichment for childcare providers through written information, workshops, and increased dialogue. This position also serves as a liaison between the City of Chula Vista Planning Department and residents interested in applying for a large family daycare license. The program is likely to have greater benefit for lower income children, who compared to children from affluent families, are more likely to receive care in unlicensed facilities and from caregi vers with limited or no training. Although licensed providers are accessible through City and County records, unlicensed providers have been invisible. However, through coordination with the County of San Diego, Health and Human Services Agency, the Chula Vista Childcare Coordinator has been able to link with many unlicensed providers to offer services and training. This request is to fund a 1/2 time Childcare Coordinator, as well as, to support the organizing and staging the Day of the Child event in April. The Child Care Coordinator position and the Day of the Child event are direct requests fr01)1 the City of Chula Vista Childcare Commission. ~,~ -~- C1Y OF CHUIA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8.

The work will be integrated to support a continuum of policies and services that are in the best interest of Chula Vista's children and youth. The primary benefit of this program is higher quality care for children in Chula Vista. The program directly supports the mission of the Child Care Commission to encourage safe and affordable, good quality childcare that is available and accessible to all economic segments of the community. It also addresses the three major goals of the Child Care Commission: I) to serve as a resource to the Council on childcare issues, 2) to increase community awareness of the Child Care Commission, and 3) to hire a full-time Child Care Coordinator for the City of Chula Vista. The Child Care Coordinator will be located at the San Diego County Insectary on 511 G Street and will provide workshops and services at various locations in the city as deemed most appropriate for reaching childcare providers. The Child, Care Coordinator will oversee a Program Assistant responsible for coordinating the annual Day of the Child event. The effectiveness of the program will be evaluated by tracking the issuance of childcare provider licenses, measuring the qualifications of childcare providers before and after training, and surveying childcare providers as to the value they perceive in the program. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? The majority of the funds requested in this application will be used for the salary of the Childcare Coordinator. The requested funding will also provide normal operating expenses of that position, such as postage and office supplies. $6,000 of the program budget will be used to coordinate and finance the Day of the Child. Additional support for Day of the Child will come from donations. A Program Assistant will be hired as an independent contractor to assist with the coordination. The Chula Vista Community Collaborative provides in-kind support for this program with the resources of the BEACON Family Resource Center including supervision, volunteer assistance, and use of office machines. The County of San Diego through an agreement with the Chula Vista Community Collaborative provides office space, phone hook up and utilities.

The number of residents has increased by . another 10% during the past year, and the Foundation requires more revenue to sustain the "Quality of Life Social Services currently provided to the residents at the Veterans Home of California - Chula Vista. Enclosed is the application package. This package includes the cover sheet, the application, work plan, budget, and sources of revenue. This request is considered more crucial than last year's approved CDBG request, as further resources from the state is not feasible and these requested "sling lifters' are necessary for the safe movement of the residents from their bed to their wheelchair. We do receive recommendations regarding legal assistance, as needed, from Mr. Glen Googins of the city of Chula Vista. Thank you again for consideration of our organization for CDBG funds from the city of Chula Vista. I will be most happy to answer any further questions, or attend any meeting you deem appropriate regarding this application, the Veterans Home or the Support Foundation. Thanks again.

These elements are all key components to job search, job readiness, and job retention. Dress for Success does not duplicate any resources available in San Diego County. Furthermore the program itself is an additional resource to benefit participating agencies and organizations and its presence will only enhance the existing assets of the community. Dress for Success objectives is to assist individuals to jump from some form of government subsidy to economic independence.

City of Chula Vista 3 DRESS FOR SUCCESS SAN DIEGO CDSG Proposal for FY 2005-2006 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CCSG funding: Dress for Success San Diego provides assistance to any individual making the transition from government dependence to work regardless of their ability to pay, sex, sexual preference, race, ethnicity, national origin, color, religion, age or physical handicap. The client must be from San Diego County. To attain self-sufficiency unemployed individuals need a support system between job training and gainful employment. Unemployment is not an isolated problem, but a community dilemma that requires the efforts of all concerned citizens. Dress for Success and the Professional Women's Group (PWG) is a collective effort of Chula Vista's community to help men and women overcome the problems encountered when trying to make the transition from welfare to work. The end ofthe government help is fast approaching for more over 100,000 impoverished California families who will exhaust their lifetime allowance of welfare benefits. For the 2004-2005 fiscal year, The California Department of Social Services outlines their Welfare Reform to include Work Participation. The major components of the proposal include: reducing the Maximum Aid Payment for non- working families, reducing the cases containing non-complying individuals, and reauirina all nonexempt adults to work or participate in other work-directed services 20+ hours per week within 60 davs of the receipt of aid. . The PWG targets the 100,000+ San Diego County household attempting to transition from government subsidy into the workforce and those individuals focusing on transitioning from minimum wage to at "living-wage". CDBG will assist the countless number of individuals who have begun the transition from government subsidy to sustainability. .

City of Chula Vista 4 DRESS FOR SUCCESS SAN DIEGO CDBG Proposal for FY 2005-2006 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: Dress for Success is requesting funding to support the Professional Women's Group. Traditional welfare to work programs has met with limited long-term success because assistance is geared toward a short-term solution of entering the work force. The challenges associated with keeping a job are often too formidable. Women who have never worked, or have been absent from the work force for a significant time, may lack the important skills associated with balancing family life, I.e. child rising, family responsibilities, in addition to keeping up with employer requirements. The workplace represents a completely foreign territory or etiquette protocol, and responsibility. Obtaining the job is a victory worth celebrating; but then come further challenges such as understanding and adapting to corporate cultures, nurturing interpersonal and business communication skills, and managing personal finances. Dress for Success instills the long-term vision that starts the women down the path of success and guiding them through the maze of challenges that await them. The Professional Women's Group (PWG) was launched by Dress for Success to support our clients during the critical and fragile transition time. The program provides women new to the workplace with training that will enhance their skills and facilitate career advancement. The PWG provides a comfortable atmosphere for members to share, grow, and network with other women who have recently make the transition into the workforce. Each PWG meeting consists of two key elements: an expert speaker and a networking period. Monthly meetings cover a variety of topics that promote professional development. Such topics include communications skills, the "unwritten" rules of the workplace, child-care issues, financial planning, stress management, and juggling responsibilities.

Specifically describe what the CCBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.) What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CCBG dollars? Dress for Success is requesting funding to support direct expenses related to the Professional Women's Group program. These expenses include a portion of the Executive Director's salary, a part-time Program Coordinator, rent, utilities, supplies, insurance, phone, and other direct expenses. Additional funding from other sources will be utilized to leverage Chula Vista CDBG dollars. This includes but not limited to: other CDBG funding, County funding, Foundational grants, private donors, fundraising activities, pledges, and donations. 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success?

Intake of the clients is based on referral from other Social Service agencies. The referring Social Service agencies verify and maintain income levels statistics. A client's measurable outcomes form the PWG are based on a variety of factors including: 90-120 day job retention, increase in salary within one year, career enhancement, enhanced job skills, and learning other life skills such as financial literacy, and budgeting.

The Mobile Health Clinic was developed in response to a high rate of school absenteeism and diminished school performance among children in the school district as a result of illness. The two local hospital emergency rooms were regularly crowded with uninsured children who had received no heal1h care until their conditions had escalated. For the past five years the mobile unit has offered ITee medical examinations, prescription medications and heal1hcare refelTals to elementary school children in the Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD). The mobile unit's multilingual staff provided care to school-age children through more than 6,500 patient visits ITom 1999 through October 2004. Services included asthma education, diagnosis and treatment, refelTals to family resource cen1ers within the school district, and assis1ance to hundreds of disadvantaged children and their families with enrollment in insurance programs and/or finding permanent medical homes. In October 2004, Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center donated the Spirit of Caring Mobile Health Clinic 10 Family Health Cen1ers of San Diego (FHCSD), a non-profi1 community health center system with a network of seventeen primary health care cen1ers, school-based health clinics, teen clinics, family resource centers and programs serving children with special needs. As the third MMU in FHCSD's KidCare Express Mobile Medical Unit Program, the goals of the unit will continue to be the provision of medical care for children and 1heir families in Chula Vista, raising student achievement by increasing school attendance, decreasing the use of hospital emergency rooms for illnesses or injuries which are not life threatening, and finding permanent "medical homes" for the patients served. FHCSD has expanded the medical services provided to include physicals and immunizations. School nurses will continue to work with teachers, attendance clerks, hospital personnel, and MMU staff, to refer children into lhe KidCare Express Program and ensure they are healthy, in school and ready to learn. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should receive CDBG funding: The Chula Vista Elementary School District is the largest non-unified elementary school district in California. More than 23,000 children attend classes in the district's 40 schools. In 1998, when 1he idea of a mobile clinic rota1ing between schools was first conceived, student absenteeism due to illness was a major concern expressed by members of the Chula Vista Human Services Council. Thousands of children in the South Bay were excessively absent ITom school, resul1ing in diminished academic learning and achievement. Many children were going to hospital emergency rooms rather than being seen and treated by primary care physicians for trea1able and preven1able conditions/diseases. These non-emergency visits utilize critical care resources that could olherwise be made available for true emergency conditions. The KidCare Express Mobile Medical Unit III provides healthcare services 10 these children before their symptoms escalate. The Sharp HealthCare Foundation operated this mobile medical unit for the pas1 six years with 1he assistance of CDBO funding through the City of Chula Vista. The Foundation smoothly 1ransitioned operations of the MMU to Family Health Centers of San Diego in October 2004 and, after undergoing a thorough maintenance inspection and repairs, the unit was redeployed to all six of its existing Chula Vista school service sites. FHCSD documented more than 300 patient visits during the initial six weeks of service under its direction before the end of2004. FHCSD will continue to collaborate with the Chula Vis1a Elementary School District and plans are underway for service expansion to addi1ional school sites and community agencies. FHCSD regues1s CDBO funding in order to continue to serve and assist the thousands of low income and medically underserved families in Chula Vista who benefit ITom the services provided by the KidCare Express·Mobile Medical Unit III. ~ff? - - ~ COY'" CHUIA YlsrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: The program for which Chula Vista Communily Development Block Grant funds are requested is the KidCare Express Mobile Medical Unit !II. This 40-foot bus is equipped with two medical examination rooms and a laboratoly. The MMU [[] rotates between the six Chula Vista Elementary schools that have the highest annual school absenteeism rates. Children from other schools near the target schools are also referred to the MMU III. The School District coordinates maintenance of the MMU III with its fleet of school buses, and pays for utilities used by the program at the schools. As the ultimate goal is to direct children to a pennanent medical home, MMU staff refer children and their families to the District's Family Resource Centers for assistance in applying for government insurance programs and social services. The KidCare Express Mobile Medial Unit Program and professional staff are managed by Family Health Centers of San Diego, which maintains accreditation with the State of California Department of Health Services and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO). 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? All CDBG funds will directly benefit the children in the Chuta Vista Elementary School District. One hundred percent (100%) ofCDBG funds will pay for direct daily operational costs incurred by the program. The funds will specifically pay for salaries that support the services provided by the KidCare Express Mobile Medical Uni1 III. No overhead or administrative costs will be paid for by CDBG funds. Other contributions that will leverage Chula Vista CDBG dollars are gifts from individuals, corporations and foundations, as well as in-kind contributions from the Chula Vista Elementary School Dis1ric1 that include storage, parking, fuel and maintenance of the MMU, and linkages to family resource centers and school nurses. Ongoing supporters of1he MMU have included The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Las Primeras, Ronald MacDonald House Charities of San Diego, Henry's Marketplace, The Chula Vista Rotary Foundation, The Aetna Foundation, Inc. and the Billy Casper Youth Foundation. FHCSD will continue to foster these existing relationships, while introducing the MMU III to its own donor network. In January 2005, FHCSD initiated a corporate sponsorship campaign specifically designed to help cover 1he operating costs ofthe MMU III over 1he nex1 three years. Sponsor logos will be integra1ed into the design of new acrylic artwork on the exterior ofthe bus. The artwork design will be a San Diego community-based theme similar to that of FHCSD's other two KidCare Express MMUs. Sponsor gifts will, in turn, help offset the cost of the health care services provided by the unit. This campaign is expected to run through July 2005, with a fundraising goalof$120,000. Funds raised through FHCSD's annual KidCare Benefit Auction held at the Hyatt Aventine in La Jolla and bimonthly Spirit of the Barrio luncheons attended by 26 ofFHCSD's regular sponsor corporations are also directed 10ward FHCSD's programs serving children, including the KidCare Express MMU Program. ~!f?- - - ~ C/1YOf CHUlA VlsrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 9 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? FHCSD collects income da1a tram the parents of children when they register for services. Annual reports substantiating patient income levels for all FHCSD service sites, including each of its mobile medical units, are prepared and submitted 10 the federal governmen1 and the State of California. FHCSD's in-house information technology department compiles the patient da1a required by the federal government 1hrough the Uniform Data Set (UDS), and the Annual Report of Clinics. This comprehensive data set fultills the Departmen1 of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) requirements for Community Development Block Gran1 funding. Demographic reports drawn from these tracking systems will be submitted to comply with CDBG reporting requirements. The MMU has provided over 7,000 patient care visits to children in the Chula Vista Elemen1ary School District since 1999, including more than 300 visits during the last 6 weeks of 2004 under the direction of Family Heal1h Cen1ers of San Diego. FHCSD has already begun discussions with 1he school district to increase the number of school sites served. The MMU hours of operation will also be extendea tram 20 to 40 hours per week pending final approval trom the Department of Health Services. Program success will be evaluated by an increase in the number of children and their families that receive healthcare through the MMU III, and reports tram 1he Chula Vis1a School District on reduced absen1eeism rates a1 the targeted schools. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. The Spirit of Caring Mobile Health Care Clinic was originally established by a collaboration belween Scripps Health, Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, and the Chula Vista Elementary School District The provision by Scripps Health of in-kind staff support and tinancial contribu1ions toward operating expenses ended in January 2003. In September 2004, a formal agreement was made between FHCSD, Sharp HealthCare and the Chula Vista Elementary School District 10 gift the Spirit of Caring to FHCSD while maintaining the original partnership. The Chula Vista Elementary School District will maintain the mobile uni1 mechanically; FHCSD will be responsible for the remaining operating costs of the unit; and Sharp HealthCare will continue to assist with fundraising and donor awareness. FHCSD requests a total amount of $25,000 in CDBG funding.

Our goal is to raise $120,000 in corporate sponsor contributions to help offset the cost of the health care services provided by the KidCare Express Mobile Medical Unit III over the nex1 three years. Similar campaigns were successfully implemented in 1998 and 2002 to raise the funds that were needed to purchase and retrofit the 40-foot buses named KidCare Express I and II. Funds are also raised through FHCSD's annual KidCare Benefit Auction held at the Hyatt Aventine in La Jolla. Each year these funds are distributed to FHCSD's programs benefiting children, including 1he MMU Program. Additional funding is raised through FHCSD's bimonthly Spirit of the Barrio luncheons, which are attended by 26 regular corporate sponsors. MMU operational costs are also covered i? part through Federal grants received by FHCSD that fund healthcare services for the homeless and residents of public housing complexes. When the mobi1e unit visits service sites that meet the criteria of these federal grants, a portion of the cost of each visit may be covered. Finally, approximately 34% of the patient visits generated by the MMU III thus far qualified for reimbursement under certain Stale programs, such as Expanded Access to Primary Care (EAPC), the Child Health and Disability Program (CHDP), and Medi-Ca!. Patients are evaluated according to income and other factors at the time of their visit in order to determine reimbursement under these programs. The programs are then billed accordingly by FHCSD's Billing Department. As Family Health Centers of San Diego has only operated the MMU III for ten weeks, we are unable to report the result of fundraising efforts for the past fiscal year, however this data will become available in 2005. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDSG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. Family Health Centers of San Diego will continue to diligently collect data on the effectiveness of the KidCare Express MMU []] toward improving the health of students. This data will be utilized in grant requests and other fundraising campaigns to demonstrate that the program is an effective expenditure of resources that should be supported con1inuously by slakeholders in Chula Vis1a, the ~outh Bay and the community at large. The overall level of funding received for 1he KidCare Express MMU []] will directly impact the number of uninsured children that can be served by the MMU in the Chula Vista Elementary School District. ~!f? ~ CI1YOF CHUIA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 6 of9 14.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: Lutheran Social Services of Southern California (LSS/SC) is a private 501c3, non- profit agency that has served as the social welfare arm of the Lutheran Churches since its 1946 incorporation. In addition, LSS/SC is affiliated with Lutheran Services of America, a network of over 3000 local organizations nationwide. LSS/SC celebrates the love of Christ for ALL people through acts of service. Our vision is that all people will have the opportunity to live and work in a community in safety, dignity, and with hope. We respond to the needs of people regardless of race, religion, gender, or creed through the development and maintenance of a range of services that: improve the quality of life for persons with limited options; promote mental, physical, and spiritual healing; encourage human 9rowth and development toward self-sufficiency; and provide a continuum of care for the destitute members of our community. Within the San Diego region, LSS/SC provides emergency assistance through our two Project Hand emergency assistance programs, The Senior Companion Program offered through the Corporation for National Service pays a small stipend to low- income seniors to act as companions to the frail elderly and adults with disabilities. We also operate a volunteer run Thrift Shop, which raises funds to support our programs and services. LSS/SC also has a Shared Housing program which matches homeowners with a person seeking a shared living situation; and we provide individual/family counseling services and workshops through LSS Counseling Services. Almost all of the services are offered to very low-income persons and families; most are offered free of charge, with counseling offered on a fee for services basis. The Caring Neighbors Program operates in six cities in San Diego County (EI Cajon, Santee, Escondido, San Diego, Chula Vista, and Oceanside) and in the unincorporated areas of the County of San Diego. In some locations Caring Neighbors provides seniors with transportation to medical appointments and information and referral services. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: The target population for the South Bay Caring Neighbors Program consists of those who meet the following criteria: 1. Low income (50% of MFI) 2. Homeowners (includes condominiums and mobile homes) 3, Residents of the City of Chula Vista 4. Seniors and/or adults with disabilities Repair/rehabilitation must be of a minor nature and be related to health, safety, or security concerns. Transportation will be provided for health/safety reasons and will be provided for visits to medical appointments or for grocery shopping. CDBG funding will allow Caring Neighbors to remove the barriers that seniors and physically disabled adults often face when they live in their own homes. These funds will provide housing rehabilitation assistance to low-income persons, allowing them to obtain the repairs that they could not door afford to have done on their own; and access to transportation services that they otherwise could not afford. ~(f? - - OlYOF OiUIA VISrA Funding Proposal Applicat FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: Caring Neighbors serves to keep homeowners in their own affordable homes by removing health and safety barriers and addressing security concerns. The need for this vital program is demonstrated by the growth of the senior population, county- wide, in the past 10 years. Due to their low income and frailty (approximately one third of our clients are 80+ years of age with minimal or no family assistance) they are neither able to do the repairs/rehabilitation themselves, or afford the labor costs involved in hiring a professional. This program assists seniors/disabled to remain in their own affordable homes (most homes are paid for or have very low mortgages) and enhances their independence and self-reliance. Transportation to medical appointments and for grocery shopping is also provided. . Minor home repair/rehabilitation is limited to health and safety needs and includes but is not limited to the following types of services: 1. Installing grab bars, wheelchair ramps, locks, security doors and lights, smoke detectors, new electrical fuses; 2. Repairing fences, gates, screens, permanent fixtures, doors, windows, faucets, toilets and drains; 3. Removal of tall grass, weed abatement, debris or tree limbs when the structure of the house is threatened or there is a fire or safety concern. All labor is completed by skilled volunteers (retirees, civic groups, churches, businesses, vocational-technical colleges and other interested groups), discounted contractors, or mentored/supervised youth. Parts and supplies are often donated by volunteers or civic/business groups; other parts are paid for by CDBG funds. Small repairs are handled quickly and cost effectively through this public/private partnership, and most repairs can be accomplished quickly. Services are provided without charge. Clients are asked to pay a portion of the cost of parts/supplies only if possible and only when the cost exceeds our average expenditures. We are continuing our collaboration with the Burn Institute that allows for the installation of free smoke detectors with the assistance of our volunteer labor. We actively seek out such collaborative relationships. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? CDBG funds will help fund a Program Manager, operating expenses, and program expenses. The Program Manager is a part-time (35 hours per week) position. The operating expenses include postage, office supplies, printing, telephone, utilities, and rent. The program supplies include supplies needed to complete minor home repairs or installation of safety/security devices, and supplies needed to complete transportation requests (i.e., gasoline, vehicle maintenance). LSS/SC uses CDBG grant monies from other cities throughout San Diego County, private monetary donations, and the donations of supplies, labor, and volunteer hours as leveraging for CDBG dollars received from the City òf Chula Vista.

Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? All Caring Neighbors clients will be screened for eligibility before any manual labor is started or other services provided. The clients will complete an intake form and provide demographic data, and an income verification form will be completed and signed by them. In the case of minor home repair/rehabilitation, once the client is deemed "eligible," a volunteer will make a home visit and evaluate the severity of the requested service(s). If the repair/rehabilitation meets the above guidelines, then the parts are purchased and the request is fulfilled. If the request does not meet the requirements, then a referral will be made to someone who can help the client. At the time of the home visit, the volunteer will also be making a safety inspection. If it appears that the client is in need of more than just a repair/ rehabilitation, then appropriate referrals will be made, including a report to Adult Protective Services (if necessary). Once the repair/rehabilitation is finished or transportation request fulfilled, the client will complete a client-satisfaction survey. As in years past, we will continue to survey all clients to determine their level of satisfaction with the work performed and the manner in which they were treated. We are proud to note that we continue to receive an 85% rate of return with 90% selecting an "excellent" rating. Monthly and quarterly reports with statistical data are completed and submitted, Records and receipts are retained from all repair jobs completed, and all client files (which include intake forms, income verification forms, job requests, and evaluations) are kept in a locked file cabinet. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. Caring Neighbors is not requesting funding as part of a collaborative, nor is it part of a formal collaborative; however, when clients have needs that cannot be addressed by our program, appropriate referrals and information are provided. Informally, Caring Neighbors collaborates with many other agencies in the delivery of services, especially Project CARE, as there is no other agency providing similar services to this target population. We also work closely with existing City housing/rehabilitation programs and refer clients who need more extensive repairs, ~{~ - - ~: ~~ CJ1\'OF 0iUIA YIS!Ä Funding Proposal Applicat FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of 9 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? Lutheran Social Services of Southern California conducts fundraising activities annually to include: a Spring Phone-a-Thon and a Fall Phone-a-Thon reaching more than 3000 households; a Year-End Appeal to 10,000 Lutheran Church members; an early Summer Walk-a-Thon supported by Lutheran Churches throughout San Diego County; regular development appeals, through personal visits, newsletters, and direct-mail campaigns; and in-kind donations received in the forms of home repair supplies, labor, and volunteer hours. LSS/SC of San Diego County operates the Seek-n-Find Thrift Shop located in Clairemont Mesa, where revenues received help support Caring Neighbors. LSS/SC is also a United Way Agency and receives donations through designated gifts. The overall income raised from fund raising sources for San Diego County Programs in CY2004 was over $128,000. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. In the event that Caring Neighbors does not receive the full requested amount of CDBG funding, LSS/SC will continue to seek grants and donations from individuals, corporate sponsors, churches, and civic groups to fill the funding gaps in order to continue to provide the much-needed services. If other contributions are not secured, then the clients will be negatively impacted by a reduction in the types of services provided or the number of clients that can be served. 14.

If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. Project Hand is not requesting funding as part of a collaborative, nor is it part of a formal collaborative; however, when clients have needs that cannot be addressed by our program, appropriate referrals and information are provided. Due to the variety of services that Project Hand provides, there is not a current collaborative in place to which this program would fit. Informally, Project Hand collaborates with many agencies and organizations for the provision of service to include Chura Vista Cares, South Bay Providers, South Bay Community Services, and the Lutheran Community. ~ff? -'-- CITY"" DiUIA VISIÄ Funding Proposal Applicat FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of9 12.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: The Play It Cool Music Foundation is a 3-year-old multi-service non-profit whose goal is to empower the community of Chula Vista by serving at-risk youth, The organization was founded in 2002 to provide education enrichment services to youths in need of alternative activities during the critical hours of 3 PM to 6 PM. The organizational mission of the Play It Cool Music Foundation is to use the familiar platform of public music to expose children to technology and the creative arts, while teaching them responsibility and accountability, The Play It Cool Music Foundation recognizes the inherent talent of all children, from all cultures and economic backgrounds, and strives to foster its growth through workshops and other events, thus helping them grow into fully contributing adults. Workshops that our youths participate in include music appreciation, health and social awareness, job development, counseling, and an after- school tutorial program. Youths in our organization have been very active within the past year, and some of their recent accomplishments include feeding homeless individuals during the Thanksgiving holiday, distributing toys to needy children in collaboration with the Toys for Tots program, and hosting a Movie Night at our facility. Our organization intends to serve ALL at-risk youths throughout the community, and hence, we are dedicated to further linkages between our Youth Programs and other agencies throughout our area. Our vision is to link our expanding youth needs for academic and cultural awareness along with other life enhancement opportunities that present themselves in order to help facilitate personal and professional growth. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: Our program is geared towards lower income children in the Chula Vista areas. A recent survey conducted by Ed Data indicates that the multi-ethic communities that SUHSD serves has over 51% of its student population from households that are eligible for the free-lunch program (which often times serves as an indicator if a family is eligible for welfare). The survey also indicated that 26% of the Sweetwater Union High School District students who are enrolled in the district are English Learner students. This means that these students are not considered proficient in the English language, For at-risk students from areas with socio-economical issues, academic problems reach crisis proportions soon after junior high school. Many of the youths who dropout do not have the necessary social, educational, or employment skills to function properly in today's society, They are also often faced with no place to go while their peers are in school and their parents are at work. The Play It Cool in School program will serve as a healthy alternative. A majority of parents of these at-risk youths are unable to tutor their teenagers because they too lack basic high school. skills and there are very few after-school ~I~ -'-- ~ 01Y OF CHUIA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 10 tutoring programs in place in the South Bay area for this population. The social problems reach crisis proportions when parents or significant other adults in the household (aunts, uncles, etc) have limited education, are unemployed, or if they are employed work several jobs to make ends meet. The social need that our agency intends to fill is to link these at-risk youth with program services BEFORE the adolescents drop out of school. Prevention of social problems through active tutoring, cultural encouragement and support is a need we all face in our crime-ridden community. Youths need educational training, self-esteem and a chance to develop skills which will give them basic consumer math and adequate language and learning skills. They also need role models, consistent tutoring for school-assignments and homework, and a regular assessment of their learning progress. We propose a program to address the multitude of social problems Chula Vista is facing because youths are "on the street" instead of preparing for education and work in the 21st century. Having a solid academic foundation will likely lead to the prevention of socio- economical issues such as homelessness, poverty, and other negative outcomes. 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: The specific program which we are requesting COGB funds is intended to provide services to 70 at-risk youth who will participate in this drop-out prevention/academic enrichment program throughout the next fiscal year. The goal of the program is to provide a safe, secure community learning center that serves children from ages nine through high school with age-appropriate educational and cultural awareness activities while helping students to meet or exceed state and local standards in core academic subjects. . Our program objectives are as follows: Objective 1: Assemble an inclusive Advisory Council (Ae) responsive to community needs and perspectives to develop policy, promote participation, evaluate progress, and help refine the program. Meetings will be held in a variety of locations across the community. The AC will meet monthly during first three months; develop specific committees, and set policy. After the initial planning phase, the Council will meet quarterly, Objective 2: To provide extended day and extended year academic assistance to, minimally, 70 students; the assistance includes, but is not limited to tutoring, homework assistance, basic skill development, computer-assisted instruction, activity-based learning, outdoor education, credit attainment, computer technology and applications, and creative and cultural art. Objective 3: To promote and offer two parent education seminars, ~!~ - - ~ mY OF œULA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 10 Objective 4: To conduct two health-related educational seminars including substance abuse. Objective 5: To enroll 35 students per year in creative and/or cultural art activities and projects. Objective 6: To provide career counseling, employment skills, and life skills training to high-risk youth. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? The CDBG funding will be used to support all aspects of program development and implementation including salaries, wages, benefits, program supplies, equipment, staff training, mileage reimbursement, telephone expenses, and consultant fees. Other sources that we will use to help leverage funds received from CDBG for services delivered to at-risk youths are in-kind support received from collaborative agencies such as local churches and other community based organizations. 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? Program implementation will be monitored monthly by the administrative staff via student and parent satisfaction surveys. Designated staff will meet with the Advisory Council on a quarterly basis to formally assess progress toward meeting the program objectives. Using this input, the Advisory Council will conduct a quarterly review of the project's progress and devise strategies to increase effectiveness and overcome any slippage. The quarterly review will use both qualitative and quantitative data as appropriate. The effectiveness of the program will be measured quantitatively in terms of the number of students, parents, teachers, collaborators, and others participating in each program activity, reduction in the number of students failing courses, number of course credits made up by students who have failed, reduction in the dropout rate, increases in overall academic achievement by participating students, increases in school attendance and positive attitudes toward school, and participant ratings of each activity, Assessment instruments will include standardized achievement tests (norm- and criterion-referenced); archival student data; participant and parent rating form; coalition member rating form; and other' evaluation information requested by the Advisory Council. ~I~ - - ~ 01Y OF CHlJIA VISIÄ Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of 10 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. Although our funding request is not a collaborative proposal, we will work collaborative between the participants, their parents, and other stakeholders throughout the community. 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? In an effort to supplement our bUdget we have created a fundraising partnership with (2) local Wal-Marts, We have also raised money with the Bears Club of San Diego and events such as the Encanto Street Fair and the Tuskegee Airman. As we expand our After-School Tutoring program, we are seeking grants from the US Office of Crime Prevention, the San Diego Padres baseball team, the Princeton-based High School Assessment Program, and private textbook publishers who we are requesting donations of cases of books and study materials. During the past fiscal year we have raised approximately $3,000 through small fundraisers, 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer selVices? In the event that our organization does not receive the amount of CDBG funds requested, our program will have a significant reduction in the number of students that we are able to serve. Although we fully intend to continue exploring other funding streams to support this valuable program, not having CDBG funding will initially cause us to scale back operations, To offset the loss of any anticipated funding for CDBG we will continue to partake in fundraising activities and look to build strong collaborative partners for in-kind support to serve our at-risk student population. 14.

Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: The target population is homeless and needy families within Chula Vista, all genders, ages and ethnicities. There are many homeless and needy families in Chula Vista and not enough food resources. Homeless and low income families need to supplement their scarce resources, and often don't have the facilities to provide balanced nourishing meals for their families. Need is demonstrated by the numbers of families that continue to appear for the hot meals at all locations. The program is also in contact with local homeless shelters and their networks who also refer many needy families for hot meals. ~!~ - - ~ art"" CHUIA VISfA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: Thursday's Meal's goal is to prepare and serve hot nourishing meals on a weekly basis for needy and homeless families to alleviate hunger and provide proper nutrition for families who would otherwise not be able to obtain it. This is done at four different sites (Lauderbach School at 390 Palomar, Most Precious Blood Church at 1245 Fourth Avenue, the Church of God on 456 Fifth Avenue between F and G Streets, and the International Christian Center at 1236 Third Avenue.) Periodically, in severe cases some non-perishable foods are provided to those who have no cooking facilities. The community is very involved through volunteers and the fact that several Churches provide supplies. There are also some other transient programs providing food (some folks who cook the food at their homes and then take it to parks or parking lots and hand it out), but not enough to fill the need. No transportation is provided to the sites. The Ecumenical Council is also exploring other sites, to expand the numbers of low income persons fed. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? All of the funds are used for direct services (to purchase food, drinks, paper goods, supplies and rent for storage facilities, and electricity for freezers to store food). We have moved the storage facility to a less costly site so such a large portion of the funds will not have to go for those costs. None of the funds are used for staff services, since the staff are all volunteers from the Churches where the meals are provided. All of the Churches, who are members of the Ecumenical Council, raise funds and in-kind donations independently to assist in the expenses of providing food at the various sites (and the expense to the churches has risen). One of the sites has been providing a large part of its own supplies and hence has been a small drain on these funds, but now will be participating more because of need ~I~ --- ~ 01Y OF CKJlA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 9 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? Methods to track or account for income levels: Self report and information from referring agencies. People sign-in when entering the sites and the sign-in sheets are kept at the coordinator's site. No case files are kept because people utilizing the program come off the street, eat, and depart. Few feel comfortable giving their full names or information about themselves. As a consequence, ethnic demographics are done by visual survey, so there is a small margin for error. We are in the process of changing our sign in sheets so people can check off their general income levels and their ethnicity. Success is measured by the ability to feed the families that request food. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. South Bay Community Services is the administering agency for fiscal matters. SBCS' Fiscal Department maintains the monies in a separate fund and allocates the monies on a reimbursement basis upon presentation of receipts for funds disbursed. Also, in November 2004 Thursday's Meal cooperated with the Salvation Army again on Thanksgiving Day, which was on Thursday, one of our regular meal days. Since our regular school site is closed on that date we joined forces in the form of volunteers and food resources to feed more than 250 persons at the Salvation Army that day. Actually, Thursday's Meal provided the largest portion of the food on that day. Both organizations plan to continue this successful collaboration in succeeding years. ~f~ -=-- ~ mY OF 0iUIA VJSrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of 9 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? The program receives sporadic donations of non-perishable foods, canned goods and paper goods from various community sources. Additionally, the organization receives small donations of money from a variety of community organizations (e.g. a donation of approximately $100 at Christmas time or some Churches will donate a few extra dollars when they have it). The Ecumenical Council has committed to raising at least $1,000 per year for Thursday's Meal, and if the fundraising activity does not reach that level, the Council makes up for any deficit. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. Thursday's Meal's volunteers will continue to solicit Churches and private individuals for funds and in-kind donations to continue the program. The Ecumenical Council has fundraising activities during the year (such as a Soup Supper) and at the end of the year the Council donates these funds to various community organizations (one of which is the Thursday's Meal program). If the funds from CDBG decrease, Thursday's Meal will eventually have to decrease the numbers of people that can be fed. If funds continue at this level, Thursday's Meal will continue to be able to feed the current homeless and needy families that come to the program ~!ft.. --- ~ OIY OF CHU1A VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 6 of 9 14.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: The Sweetwater Education Foundation (SEF) was formed to provide financial assistance to support Sweetwater Union High School District students who complete the Compact for Success (CFS) and attend San Diego State University. The SEF and its supporters strongly believe that education is vital to our efforts in improving our communities. We believe a college education, while not guaranteeing financial success, gives our students the best opportunity of becoming responsible members of society. The CFS is an agreement between the Sweetwater School District and SDSU that guarantees admission to all Sweetwater students at SDSU as long as they complete CFS required courses and other school district benchmarks, The CFS is preparing our students to succeed in college. In addition to guaranteeing admission to SDSU, the Compact for Success also promises to help those students requiring financial assistance to complete college. A local independent non-profit organization, the SEF is the fundraising arm of the Compact for Success. We are committed to raising the necessary monies to address the financial educational needs of Sweetwater CFS students, Monies raised help pay school tuition, books, and other educational expenses. The SEF's goal is to create a self- perpetuating endowment that will help generations of students to come. We are well on our way to accomplishing our goal and delivering much needed assistance to Sweetwater School District students. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: Our target population are Compact for Success Sweetwater School District students. Sweetwater seNes large numbers of "latchkey" children who enter school behind in basic academic skills. The school district seNes nearly 40,000 students in grades seven through twelve from some of the highest economic need communities in the state. Nearly half qualify for free or reduced price meals, a figure that is as high as 90 percent at some sites. In addition to economic disadvantage, a significant percentage of Sweetwater youth come from homes where adult educational attainment is low. Many parents are new immigrants with limited schooling in their home countries. With 84 percent of its students coming from ethnicities traditionally underrepresented in higher education, Sweetwater is one of California's most diverse districts. CDSG funding would help many of our students go a long way towards achieving the American dream of a college education. Many of our Chula Vista area students come from some of the lowest socio-economic areas of the city (western Chula Vista) and CDSG funding would areatly henefit those who need the most. ~!ft.. --- ~ 01Y Of œUIA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 8 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: The Sweetwater Education Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization of concerned community leaders, parents and youth dedicated to helping students pursue their educational goals. Its purpose is to provide funding support for the Compact for Success to ensure that no financial barrier stands between a student and the right to a college education. The Compact for Success path is the guarantee for Sweetwater district students-admission to San Diego State University with a 3.0 grade point average and graduation from college within four years. By setting clear benchmarks of success, the students have a path and a focus. They can trust that the support will be there when they need it most. The path begins with 7th grade students and the promise of admission to SDSU, Keeping a grade point average of 3.0 and completing a rigorous schedule of pre- college courses called A-G is only the beginning. Students and parents make the "Compact" with the Sweetwater District promising that they will work hard, commit to the program for five years, up to the 12th grade and fulfill all needed requirements. The Sweetwater Education Foundation and the school district make their own promises to the students. A built in network of support and resources so that no barrier stands between the student and his or her dreams, The Sweetwater District helps the students reach academic milestones and to stay on track for admission to college, The Foundation promises financial support where needed during four years of college. All CDBG monies would be earmarked for Chula Vista area students. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? All CDBG monies will be used to financially assist Chula Vista area Sweetwater School District students who require financial assistance to complete their education at San Diego State University. If awarded CDBG monies from the City of Chula Vista, all monies would be reserved for those students from Chula Vista. The SEF has proudly raised nearly $2.6 million to date and are aggressively fundraising year-round. Our goal is to raise $10 million by 2008. Monies raised have come from individuals, corporations, the state and federal government. ~frt. -fi- ~ OlYQf CHUlA VISlA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 8 . 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? The SEF works closely with the Sweetwater Union High School District and San Diego State University to track students as they complete their schooling at the high school level and onto college, We use data that is available to both entities in order to create our fundraising marks and will continue to track number of students completing the Compact for Success. Our goal at the SEF is to support all students finishing the CFS who attend SDSU. If funded, CDBG funding would only be available to those students who reside in Chula Vista, completed the CFS, attend SDSU and show a need for financial assistance. Need must be shown by the applicant, thus income levels are tracked accordingly. Demographic information will be monitored in accordance to census data. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. While the CFS is certainly a collaborative, the SEF is independent of the school district and the university. All fundraising is performed by the SEF and monies raised stay with the SEF until disbursement is required at SDSU. 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? The SEF actively raises money throughout the year. It is our sole purpose of the organization, Monies raised, as stated in question #9, come from numerous avenues. From private individuals to corporate San Diego to Congressional earmarks. We have raised nearly $2.6 million since February 2003. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. While the SEF is on solid footing, CDBG funding would certainly help many Chula Vista area students and would significantly alter their lives for the good. With more budget cuts affecting California's educational system and the federal government having to address our Homeland security, funding has become even more difficult during these trying times. Our foundation is stepping in and filling that critical gap that often prevents students from attending and completing their college education. We strongly urge the City of Chula Vista to look favorably at our application in order to provide this much needed assistance to our youth, ~ff? - - ~ OIYQf CHUlA VISfA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of 8 14.

Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received COBG funding: The target population includes grandparents, mmts, uncles. and older siblings who are caring full time for children in lhe family when the parenl is unable to care for lhem. The program serves South Region of lhe county. Approximately 95% of lhe families served would be considered low income; 28% of caregivers are over the age of 60; 52% are single caregivers; many have heallh issues and 46% bave no heallh insurance. For many relatives, suddenly becoming caregivers to one or more cbildren can be overwhelming. Emotional turmoil, lhe special needs of cbildren, financial sttains, and lhe juggling of time and space are just a few pressures faced by lhese relatives. . The Kinship Cenler, located in the soulh weslerD part of Chu1a Vista, is a much needed resource, which can provide support, a variety of services and other community referrals. In addition, as was slated above wilh new services, the Kinship program continues to seek additional services and opportunities among our collaborative partners 10 expand use of the facility to the broader Chula Vista community. 9, Describe the specific program for which COBG funds are being requested: In California, 294,969 grandparents are solely responsible for lhe care of their grandcbildren. One out of len children live in a household headed by a grandparent or olher relative. YMCA KSSP in Soulh County was established in 1999 through AB 1193 to provide services to relatives caring full time for children in lhe family. [The numbers of families served and a description of services bas been previously noted.] The legis1ation was passed based on a belief of the benefits of placing children within lhe family versus in "stranger" fOS1er care. Benefits cited: fewer placement disruptions; children are more likely 10 be placed wilh siblings and experience a sense of family support; cbildren fare better over all. 96% of YMCA KSSP children remain wilh relatives, whereas, cbildren in non-kinship care experienced three or more placement moves. The YMCA KSSP provides the support and services, which assist the relatives in their ability to continue the care of lhe children. CDBG Funding Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 10 10. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? CDBG funds will primarily be used for reot and associated expenses for care of the Kinship Center site. In addition, CDBG funds will be used to fund a portion of the salary fur the director of the Kinship program. Tbe 75% reduction in funding in 2003 left no money for reot, eliminated several positions, and reduced the director to part time status. CDBG funds would restore that position to full time. Other sources of funds include: ~ Main funding is through the County of San Diego HHSA for Community Services for Families (CSF) contract # 504314 at $124,706 for fiscal year Sept. 2004 through June 2005, (Ibis budget bas been reduced ftom $412,991 for 2002.2003.) ~ YMCA Youth & Family Services Board, $10,000. salary for coordinator. ~ FSCS donation of$30,000. in 2003 to establish Kinship Center site. ~ YMCA Youth & Family Services fundraising events. ~ YMCA Current Support Campaign ~ YMCA FSCS services not charged to KSSP program: overall supervision and direction; fiscal services; personnel services; consultation services and clinical trainings. ~ First Five Commission, $123,561 fur direct services to caregivers with children up to 5 years of age; stipends to senior volunteers to assist with services. 11. Has your organization met or exceeded the stated program objectives of the preceding year? If, no, will the program be redesigned to make the objectives obtainable for the new funding year? What methods will be used to track for income level$, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to mea$ure success? ~ YMCA KSSP bas met and exceeded the stated program objectives of the preceding year. ~ Regarding the tracking of income tevels: family income is recorded at the time of intake based on information provided by the caregiver. ~ AIl demographic information required will be obtained and tracked in the KSSP state approved database. ~ KSSP bas participated in a large study of kinship programs done by UC Berkeley. According to the report, Kin~bio Sup,port Services in California: An Evalnarion of California's Kinshio Suooort Services Prol!l1lß1lKSSPt published in January 2004, " San Diego County, with a totaI of six sites and two providers, served the most caregivers and children " (ftom October 2001-Januarly of 2003). Regarding caregivers services, San Diego South Region bad the second greatest proportion of service recipients among all the state wide programs.

If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency, Also, describe the process of allocating CCSG funds between each participating agency. This is not a collaborative proposal, however, it might be important to note tbat YMCA KSSP is very active in the Chula Vista Collaborative community. Other significant collaborative partners include the Grossmont College Foster, Adoptive and Kinship Care Education Program, as well as the San Diego Volunteer Lawyers (SDVL). The Grossmont College Program provides trainings to KSSP relatives on pertinent kinship issues. The SDVL program provides legal information and clinics on guardianship and permanency pl~nning, Both provide these services at no charge to KSSP. New partners include: YMCA Childcare Resource Services, the Casey Family Foundation, and the First 5 Commission Intergenerational Project participants.

The KSSP budget was reduced by 75% as ofJuly 1, 2003, going ITom $412,991 to $113,000. The KSSP main budget FY 2004-2005 is $124,706. These reductions have left no money to pay rent, and resuhed in loss of several staff positions. Thankfully, CDBG funds of $44,000 FY 2003-2004 allowed us to pay rent and care of the building costs and provide an uninterrupted flow of basic services. Unfortunately, CDBG funding FY 2004-2005 was reduced to $20,000 placing the program in a very difficuh situation. While we were successful in securing additional funding for direct services for year 2004, those funds are now expended. It is noteworthy to mention that through the grant writing process, we have teamed that most grants ITom foundations do not allow funds to be applied for rent. Our grant writers continue to explore funding sources to supplement the short fàII in our basic budget requirements. FY 2005-2006, the Kinship Program will once again be in a critical situation without CDBG funding assistance. KSSP core services as well as the many services we have added for children ages zero to five through the First 5 Commission funds, require a facility such as ours which is suitable for groups of children and aduhs. Thus the potential impact on client services is greater than ever. We at KSSP continue to expand use of the facility to include presentations and services available to the general population. Io addition, our new Community Services for Families contract has created more opportunities to wOl:k with community partners and share resources. The Kinship Center is known as an excellent setting for support groups, trainings and other events involving children and families. Once again, loss ofCDBG funding for the Center will negatively impact the greater community, CDBG Funding Application FY 2005-2006 Page 7 of 10 15. Who will be providing the program services?

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: Since 1988, the Human Services Council (HSC) has provided leadership, networking, and communication between government, social service agencies, churches, schools, and non-profit providers. The primary goal of the HSC has been to develop coalitions between human service providers to focus on the major community needs and to more effectively utilize community resources to address the community needs. The HSC has been very successful as a catalyst to bring government, private industry, the business community, churches, and human service providers to work cohesively together to empower the community to improve the quality of life in Chula Vista and the entire South Bay. In addition the HSC has served as an advocate for the South Bay region and human service providers. Services include the distribution of a Human Services Directory, which is updated every two years, with the next publication in 2005, a quarterly "Network News" and semi- annual public forums to identifY and address community needs. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: The target population is low to moderate income households in Chula Vista and the South Bay Communities encompassing diverse ages, incomes, and genders. The CVHSC has representatives ITom City government, Chula vista Elementary School District, Sweetwater Union Higb School District, Southwestern College, National University, Youth Agencies, Senior Groups, Churches, San Diego County Health and Human Services, Healthy Start Coalitions, Alcohol and Substance Abuse Agencies, and Health Providers. The 24 agencies meet monthly to assess and focus on community needs. Their collective progTams and services make up the target populations served by the Human Services Council. The major focus is to improve the quality oflife on the target population by empowering them to utilize community assets. ~!~ - - , 01Y OF OiUlAVISrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: Funds will be utilized to pay for the printing and distribution of the "Network News" which is distributed to 800 agencies and individuals in the Soutb Bay that are involved directly and indirectly with Human Services. The "Network News" communicates Human Service events in the South Bay and provides coordination of Human Services. Funds will be used to prepare and print the Human Resource 2005 Directory that will be distributed to Schools, Churches, GoveITunent Agencies, Human Resource Providers, County Agencies, and Health Providers etc. Funds will also be utilized to pay for one part time staff that serves the CVHSC. Funds are also used to pay for miscellaneous costs of sponsoring the two community forums conducted each year. Funds also cover administrative costs for tbe Human Services Council such as secretarial support, mailing, member communication, and distribution of information and materials. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? Salaries & Benefits for the two part time staff amount to approximately $16,000. Printing and Mailing of the "Network News" approximately $6,000 Preparation and Printing and distribution of the Human Resource Directory approximately $8,000 Expenses for the forums typically cost up to $4,000 In-Kind Support from the various organizations that participate on the Council including but not limited to Chula Vista Elementary, Sweetwater UHSD, National University, Soutb Bay Family YMCA etc. provide the additional necessary support. ~!f? - - ~ O1YOf 0iUlA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 9 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? The Human Services Council tracks demographic information about those served through its partner agencies. In addition, the HSC tracks attendance at HSC sponsored events including forums and HSC meetings. The HSC measures its success through the feedback of partner agencies and communication with community collaboration and coalitions. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDSG funds between each participating agency. This is not a collaborative proposal. However, the HSC is a collaborative that consists of representatives from the City of Chula Vista, San Diego County Health & Human Services, Chula Vista Elementary School District, Sweetwater Union High School District, National University, Senior Advocates, Churches, Youth Service Providers including the South Bay Family YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, and Parks & Recreation, Southwestern College, various non-profit organizations, and human service providers. The South Bay Family YMCA volunteers to serve as the fiscal agent for the HSC. ~f~ --- ~ 01Y OF CHUIA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of 9 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? The HSC does not specifically initiate its' own fund raising activities so as to not compete with partner agencies. However, as indicated in question #9, the HSC receives in-kind and financial support from the local educational institutions, the YMCA, the City and the County. In addition, the HSC works with its' collaborative partners to seek grant funding for specific programs and services. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer selVices. In the event that HSC did not receive requested funding, the leadership that has been provided to identitY community needs, develop an action plan to meet those needs and an organized effort to pull community organizations into effective collaborations would be lost. Without question the major accomplishments to improve the quality of life in this community would be curtailed. ~!~ --- ~ 01Y OF CHUIA VJSrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 6 of 9 14.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: SBCS and the YMCA Family Stress Counseling Center, collaborative partners of the Chula Vista Family Violence Prevention and Intervention Coalition (CVFVPIC) provide a variety of domestic violence services and supports designed to assist domestic violence victims and perpetrators in preventing further violence and dealing with the effects of the violence The mission of the CVFVPIC is to eliminate family violence, including child sexual abuse, in the Chula Vista Community. Our goals are to provide a bilingual, culturally appropriate continuum of services to the children, youth, and families of the community that includes DV prevention, intervention, residential, and non-residential services and supports, and aftercare. The CVFVPIC benefits the community by providing a continuum of services by a partnership of agencies so services will not overlap or be duplicated, and leverages the resources of 2 agencies for the benefit of CV residents. Both agencies continually seek out other funding sources to augment the programs described here, so no program relies on one funding source, thus increasing sustainability. The members of the CVFVPIC comprise our city's primary response system for meeting the needs of individuals and families coping with violence and sexual abuse. Some transportation services are provided on an as-needed basis, such as transportation to confidential emergency shelter. Evaluation is an ongoing process that takes place from intake to termination of client services, and relies upon several measures. These include a Family Well Being Assessment guide to track progress toward goals set at the beginning of services, tracking completion of scheduled curricula and/or attendance at group counseling sessions, and follow-ups after termination of services to determine long- term impact 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: Domestic Violence is a major public safety issue. The target population consists of the adult and child victims of family violence and sexual abuse. They are of all ages, both genders and all incomes, but the majority are low income Chula Vista residents. In the 2003-2004 fiscal year, 924 women and 1,817 children were referred to SBCS Domestic Violence programs. SBCS and the YMCA's Family Stress Counseling Services have been providing family violence prevention and treatment services as well as sexual abuse treatment services for more than 33 years in the South Bay. Part of the programming has been funded by grants from the County and other funding sources, but many services have no funding support and there is a gap in necessary funding to keep these programs operating. As members of the CVFVPIC and the South Bay Domestic Violence Council, SBCS and Family.Stress are active participants in reviewing community needs and working on direct service solutions with the overall goal of breaking the cycle of violence and promoting the physical, mental, social, and economic health of families. We have experienced a continuing increasing demand for services over the past 8 years of this collaboration. By working together, we ensure a smoother continuum of non-duplicated services and ensure families' increased access to community resources. In addition, in concert with the Chula Vista Police Department, SBCS is spearheading the planning group currently developing a proposal for the South County Justice Center to provide comprehensive domestic violence supportive services as well as assistance in dealing with all of the legal issues surrounding the violence. ~!~ ~ (]1'(OF 0ilJIA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 200S-2006 Page 3 of9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: South Bav Communitv Services/CVPD will be providing a variety of services to victims of domestic violence and their children (including thorough strengths-based assessments; treatment planning; age- appropriate group and individual counseling for children; victim support groups, including child care during the groups so participants find it easier to participate; individual counseling for victims of domestic violence; court accompaniment and advocacy when clients need to obtain a Temporary Restraining Order; Social Service Advocacy; case management services for DV victims and their children; and the 24 hour immediate response services of the Domestic Violence Response Team in concert with Chula Vista Police Department Officers). Services provided to Chula Vista residents are culturally appropriate and provided in English and Spanish. YMCA Familv Stress Counselino Services will be providing group treatment services, specifically the SAFE (Sexual Abuse Family Education) Paths program for Chula Vista children and members of their families who are dealing with issues pertaining to intrafamilial child sexual molestation. Individual and family counseling services will also be provided for Chula Vista children and members of their families recovering from effects of child physical and emotional abuse and neglect. All services are offered in English and Spanish 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? South Bay Community Services: Salary and supplies for Family Violence Support Services staff providing a large range of services to victims of domestic violence and their children, including 24-hour response to victims, counseling, and shelter to victims. YMCA Family Stress Counseling Services: Salaries for Safe Path Group Facilitators The partner organizations utilize a variety of resources (State, County, and City government grants as well as private Foundations and donations) to fund programs and services, and thus leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars. Please see attached list of Sources of Revenue for 2003-2005. ~!~ --- ~ mY OF 0iUA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of9 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? Statistical information is collected from all participants upon entry into services which can include name, address, zip code, gender, date of birth, income level, ethnicity, referral source, and more. Additionally, clients present documents such as pay stubs, income tax returns, welfare documentation or other documents to verify income level. The income level is determined by the most current HUD income limits for the San Diego SMSA. Because of the emergency nature of some of the services, some information is solely self-report. Evaluation of the program to measure success: evaluation is an ongoing process that takes place from intake to termination of client services, and relies upon several measures. These include a Family Well Being Assessment guide to track progress toward goals set at the beginning of services, tracking completion of scheduled curricula and/or attendance at group counseling sessions or other activities, and follow-ups 6 months after termination of services to determine long-term impact. SBCS' & Family Stress' programs maintain a variety of monthly reporting forms and methods, because of fairly stringent rules under which we operate 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. South Bay Community Services/CVPD: $25,000 YMCA Family Stress Counseling Services 25.000 TOTAL $ 50,000 Process for allocating funds: The members of the group submit budgets for the services being offered. If the funds allocated are less than requested, the decrease is equilaterally shared across the programs. ~!~ -=-- ~ (]I\'Of 0iUlA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of 9 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? SBCS and YMCA Family Stress counseling Services both have annual capital campaigns through which staff, Board Members and volunteers solicit donations from individuals, community and corporate sources. SBCS has an aggressive Development Department that coordinates fund-raising activities. Each summer, (June) the Y's Youth &Family Services holds its To Honor Our Champions Fund Raiser. SBCS participates in a number of fundraising activities during the year, including Liberty Walk which is a fundraiser done in concert with other County Domestic Violence agencies, and a Fashion Show co chaired by Assemblywoman Shirley Horton and Mayor Steve Padilla, utilizing public officials such as law enforcement officers as the models, Harbor Days w/South Bay Cruisers, activities at the annual Thunder Boats races in Mission Bay, Shop-With-a-Cop (Christmas fundraiser with other agencies), Adopt-a- Family at Christmas, and various donors such as Beta Sigma Phi who now gives something in-kind every month. Also, this Family Violence Prevention collaborative is augmented by the South Bay-wide Community Services for Families funded by the County to provide early intervention and prevention to families at risk of family violence. So far in Fiscal Year 2004-2005, SBCS has raised $180,145 in cash, and as of February we have received more than $25,000 worth of in-kind donations such as food, clothing, furniture (beds, couches, lamps, tables, chairs), linens, kitchen utensils, and toys. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. SBCS' fundraising activities will continue as they always have, as will those of our coalition members. SBCS' activities are listed in #12. Since we are community based agencies we have to depend on funds from a variety of funders and donor sources, none of whom wish to be a sole donor, so this necessitates a constant search for new funding sources. We will still be able to offer services, but at a reduced level until the funds for these services are raised elsewhere. We may have to reduce the number of women and their children sheltered from the violence, or reduce the number who are provided intervention services, and/or reduce the number of women's support groups or children's groups offered, or services to abused children and their families. Since funding will be used to support staff who provide direct services to people, a decrease in funding will necessitate a decrease in services unless other resources are found to fill the gaps. ~!~ - - ~ O1YOf OUA V1SrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 6 of 9 14. Who will be providing the program services? Please briefly describe the qualifications of key staff . SBCS: Bilingual staff who are college or graduate level (depending on the particular jab and requirements) trained in recognizing domestic violence, providing crisis intervention, and assessing for child abuse.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: The 6 organizations in the Youth Services Network provide a wide range of services to the community of Chula Vista, focused on ensuring that our children and youth have social services, recreational options, after school programming, child abuse services, child care, shelter, counseling, and many other services. SBCS began in 1971 as a treatment center for drug abusing teens, and the scope of programming has grown to include Individual, group, and family counseling; a continuum of housing, shelter and support services to assist homeless families, youth, and domestic violence victims and their children in developing self-sufficient lifestyles; transitional and other affordable housing programs; youth employment training and assistance; drug & alcohol prevention, education, and day treatment programs; domestic violence prevention and intervention services; community development services and projects; juvenile delinquency prevention and diversion; gang intervention; altemative schooling; after school programs for Middle School youth; literacy/tutoring; mentoring programs and health education. In addition: the Police Athletic League provides a variety of recreational and specialized services to CV youth; the BEACON Center provides child care in a neighborhood-based facility from which a variety of community agencies are accessible to families and their children to assist them in easily accessing needed services; the YMCA provides multiple recreational, camp and educational opportunities to youth and their families, as do the Boys' & Girls' Club and the Otay Recreational Center. All of these organizations are established in Chula Vista and work cooperatively to create a network of complementary services and supports for families and their children. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: CDBG funds will be utilized to serve children and youth throughout Chula Vista. While most of these services target our community's youth, ages 6-18, they are designed to incorporate the participation of the youth's entire family to help strengthen family relationships and parental involvement in the young person's life. The services also involve the larger community in helping to create a caring community that assists in the development of its young people. There has been a resurgence of youth gang activity within the City and all youth within our city are at risk through exposure to criminal activities and drugs. Surveys continue to indicate the need for more childcare and after school opportunities for area youth, some of which were put into place in the form of Critical Hours after-school programs during Fall of 1997 and which continue to the present. The members of the Chula Vista Youth Services Network comprise our city's primary response system for meeting the needs of children, youth, and families who are in need and are facing great challenges. By working together, we ensure a smoother continuum of services and increased access to resources and opportunities to assist our community's youth to reach their fullest potential. The collaborative system of youth services, support, and opportunities is pivotal to the healthy development of youth & their smooth transition to adulthood. These activities clearly help reduce delinquency, substance abuse, and school failure, while promoting youth development and the involvement of the community. The youth programs, services, and activities provided by the YSN members in the past 9 years have reached large numbers of Chula Vista children and their families, making services and resources more accessible and making it possible for more families to feel their children are safe. The YSN is an inclusive collaborative & is looking for other participants who could be a part of this coordinated effort ~!ft.. -'-- ~ O1YOf CHUIA VIS1A Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: The mission of the Chula Vista Youth Services Network is to provide area youth with the services, support, and opportunities they need to lead healthy and productive lives. Our goals are to provide a bilingual, culturally appropriate continuum of family-centered services to the children, youth, and families of the community that includes prevention, intervention, and supportive services. Specific services will include Juvenile Diversion services provided in partnership with the Chula Vista Police Department and the Sweetwater School District; summer camps; child care; sports equipment and activities and a Christmas toy drive; day camp; educational and enrichment activities; fitness team activities; and Teen CenterlKlDZBIZ job development programming. (The Teen Center/KIDBIZ program was in another category but HUD has made the decision it must be in this category). Chula Vista benefits from this collaboration because the several agencies are able to coordinate services and not overlap or duplicate, we are able to identify and fill gaps in service quickly, and all can offer a wide range of supplementary services to clients, working from a wraparound platform, thereby leveraging already scarce resources. Programs are located in Chula Vista and transportation is provided in some instances on an as-needed basis 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? CDBG funds will support the following positions/components at each agency: South Bay Community Services: Salaries & benefits for staff, and program supplies for youth counseling program and for Teen Center Job Development program Boys& Girls Club of Chula Vista: Camp scholarships/children in need (increased scholarships 400% over the past year), Day Camp supplies CV CC (BEACON Ctr) 35 hrs/wk. of child care for low income families attending classes Chula Vista Police Dept.

What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? SBCS, YMCA and Boys & Girls Clubs all have annual campaigns through which we raise funds to support our progtrams, as well as multiple fundraising events. In addition, all of the partners are involved in writing proposals to private Foundations and other funding sources for program support. The Chula Vista Community Collaborative is a partner in many collabrative proposals through which they help support the child care program. Boys & Girls Club has many fundraising activities including annual Benefit Casino Night, Benefactor Annual Support Campaign, Weekly Bingo Fund Raiser, Annual Golf Toumament, and various other smaller projects including car washes, spaghetti dinners, pancake breakfast, snack bars, T-shirt sales in addition to income in excess of expenses from pre-school, skatepark operations and facility rentals. The CVPD PAL applies for NATIONAL PAL GRANTS for the high school football teams, relies on the past donations of Veteran's Association, Women's Guild, solicits the hospitals for the college donations, solicits Soak City for tickets for 6th grade camp, and asks for donations through United Way. The Otay Rec Center is supported in part by the State Department of Nutrition, they are a part of a pilot program to expand the Summer Food Lunch Program to After school Snacks so they get free snacks for the WizKidz. . SBCS has an aggressive Development Department that coordinates fund-raising activities and the Foundation Committee regularly makes applications to private Foundations and Corporations for funds. SBCS participates in a number of fundraising activities during the year, including the annual capital campaign, Liberty Walk which is a fundraiser done in concert with other County Domestic Violence agencies, a Fashion Show chaired by Assemblywoman Shirley Horton and Mayor Steve Padilla utilizing public officials such as law enforcement officers as the models, Harbor Days w/South Bay Cruisers, activities at the annual Thunder Boats races in Mission Bay, Shop-With-a-Cop (Christmas fundraiser with other agencies), and Adopt-a-Family at Christmas, So far in Fiscal Year SBCS has raised $182,145 in cash to supplement programs. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. All Youth Services Network members will continue current fundraising efforts and activities, as listed in number 12. Since we are all community based agencies we have to depend on funds from a variety of funders and donor sources, none of whom wish to be a sole donor, so this necessitates a constant search for new funding sources.

Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should receive CDBG funding: The target population is low-income seniors, age 60 and older, and disabled persons in the City of Chula Vista with a variety of housing, economic, nutritional and health, social, legal, and other needs. The South Bay Senior Collaborative is a group of senior service agencies that provide an array of services to meet those needs, such as shared housing, meals, transportation and legal services. The collaborative is uniquely positioned to meet the range of needs through an inter-agency referral system and joint outreach activities. By working together, the collaborative ensures a continuum of services and increased access to resources, making it possible for seniors to remain independent in their own homes. According to the 2000 U.S Census, there are over 25,000 seniors, age 60 and older in the City of Chula Vista (http://factfinder.census.gov). Both nationally and locally, the senior population is expected to experience substantial growth over the next ten years. As the senior population grows, the range of services provided by the collaborative becomes increasingly more vital. CDBG funds are crucial to ensure partner agencies are financially positioned to meet the needs of the expanding senior population in the City of Chµla Vista. ~!~ -'-- C1YOF 0iLIlA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 11 8.

Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? Needs assessments are conducted with each new client and an intake form is completed to gather income level and demographic information. The information is maintained in each agency's database for use in analysis, evaluation and the preparation of reports. Evaluation is conducted on an ongoing basis and includes regular client satisfaction surveys. Each partner agency has evaluation and reporting systems in place. 11.

What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? South Bay Senior Collaborative partner agencies are all community-based agencies that rely on funds from a variety of sources. Each agency in the collaborative conducts various fund-raising activities to support programs and services for seniors in Chula Vista. Activities include direct mail and telephone solicitation, grant requests to foundations and corporations, and special events. Additionally, volunteers provide thousands of hours of in-kind services each year. As an example of the fundraising capacity of agencies in the collaborative, Meals- on-Wheels Greater San Diego, Inc. raised more than $1.7 million in 2004 to support home-delivered meals throughout San Diego County. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. The elimination or reduction of CDBG funding from the City of Chula Vista would increase reliance on other funding sources. Although partner agencies will continue to conduct fundraising activities, reduced CDBG funding could lead to possible fee increases, or a reduction or elimination of services, leaving clients with fewer resources to help them remain independent in their own homes. ~!f? -'-- ~ 01Y Of CHl.IIA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 7 of 11 14.

Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: The target population consists of the people living and working in the low to moderate-income areas. These clients often live in and around substandard conditions that are outside of their control. As the blight in the neighborhood increases, the level of hope for a better place to live and work decreases for the population that is destined to stay in these areas due to socio-economic conditions. Many of these homes are rentals with absentee landlords who are unaware of the conditions on their properties and the overall affect of their properties on the neighborhood. Code Enforcement will use the CDBG funding to help improve the lives of those living and working in the area through education, enforcement and abatement as needed. 8.

The Code Enforcement activities in these tracts include general complaint response and participation in all of the programs described below. Community Improvement Program: This program aims to revitalize neighborhoods in Western Chula Vista, extending from the north end of the city to the south end. Code Enforcement Officers will conduct proactive enforcement sweeps that will identify and rehabilitate blighted neighborhoods. The Community Improvement Program combines community partnerships, proactive enforcement and public education to combat neighborhood blight. The goal of the program is to improve the quality of life within these neighborhoods, We also seek long term change by establishing partnerships within the community and educating the public about our services and the value of code enforcement. Emphasis is placed on identifying a neighborhood's specific needs and tailoring an appropriate proactive response. Typical violations to be addressed include accumulated trash, junk and debris, outdoor storage, portable carports, inappropriate uses in all zones and illegal or excessive signs. Community Appearance Program(CAP): Code Enforcement anticipates performing one or more CAP events this year. CAP is a collaborative program with neighborhood based groups in low to moderate income areas. The main focus of CAP is to assist the elderly and those with disabilities in cleaning and repairing their property to preserve and improve property values in the neighborhood. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? The CDBG request is based upon the salary and benefits for one full time Code Enforcement Officer at a full cost recovery rate of $234,790 and an additional $50,000 to fund the Community Appearance Program. These funds will provide the equivalent of one full time CEO II working in low and moderate income areas and one or more CAP events to clean up specifically targeted blight. Code Enforcement efforts will encourage revitalization, discourage blight and prevent neighborhood deterioration. The City of Chula Vista's Code Enforcement Section relies heavily on the general fund to finance its activities. Additional sources of funding include cost recovery fees from recalcitrant violators, penalty fees for construction without permits, fees from administrative civil penalty actions and administrative citations. 10. Please describe the methods. your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographiè information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? ~!~ -r ~ 01Y Of CHUIA VISfA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 9 Income levels and demographic information is provided by our GIS system using the latest available census data. Program evaluation will be provided as follows: Code Enforcement will respond to general Code Enforcement complaints and conduct proactive sweeps to address specific issues identified as important by the neighborhood, Code Enforcement staff will contact the tenant and property owners and seek voluntary compliance wherever possible. When necessary, Code Enforcement will take formal actions to abate violations, In addition, Code Enforcement Officers will act as communication conduits to relay concerns of area residents to appropriate departments in the city, and educate the public by attending community meetings and distributing educational materials. Blighted conditions within low and moderate income areas will be gradually reduced. Pride of ownership will return to the neighborhood and members of the neighborhood community will improve and maintain their homes and businesses without being prodded by the City. Program success will be measured by a reduction in requests for service in the given area, a reduction in the volume of serious code violations encountered and a reduction in the average time necessary to correct violations. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. . This application is not a collaborative proposal.

In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how wiII this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. If Code Enforcement does not receive the requested amount we will fall back on general fund monies. Without the requested funding, Code .Enforcement will be required to cut back services City-wide including those within low and moderate income areas. This will inhibit the revitalization of blighted neighborhoods and encourage further deterioration.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: We perform periodic inspections of apartment complexes and individual units to confirm compliance with minimum fire and life safety regulations as identified in the California Housing Code. Any code violations identified during these inspections are subsequently corrected by the property owner. Occasionally this will require formal code enforcement action against the property owner that may include the assessment of fines and penalties and/or abatement of the violations by the City and subsequent recovery of costs from the property owner. We also respond to specific complaints about property owners regarding alleged violations of the Housing Code. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: The target population is residents of those apartment complexes located within the low- moderate income census tracts of City of Chula Vista. Many of these residents are economically disadvantaged and potentially vulnerable to illegal business practices that may be employed by their landlords, This proactive program helps insure that apartment residents in all of the qualifying census tracts are afforded an opportunity to live in a safe building that complies with the minimum State housing code requirements. 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: The CDBG funds will be earmarked to pay for the services of an additional housing inspector in the Code Enforcement Section of the Department of Planning and Building. This will allow us to increase the number of code enforcement officers assigned to the this program and thereby improve both or ability to respond to individual complaints and to increase the overall volume of proactive apartment inspections that can be conducted annually. The current program anticipates all apartment complexes to be inspected once every 5 years.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: The Chula Vista National Little League had been a chartered member of District 42 of Little League Baseball for the past 45 years. Our league consists of children ages 5 through 12, volunteer managers, coaches and board of directors. The teams in our T-Ball and Minor B divisions are instructional and recreational while our older children compete in out Minor A and Major Divisions. Our ball fields are co-located on the playgrounds of Harborside Elementary School. With the CostCo center to our east and the San Diego Trolley to our west, this parcel is in the heart of the Chula Vista business district. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: Our league boundaries include a large portion of the west part of Chula Vista. They extend from the Freeway 54 to along the Bayfront to the Otay River. The eastem portion of the boundary runs down Fourth Avenue to L Street then down Hilltop Drive. At Palomar, it turns west to Second Avenue the South to Orange then west again to Third Avenue and south to the Otay River. Refer to the following map for more details: f......ß" By Little League rules, all players must reside within the League boundaries and provide proof of residency. The west side of Chula Vista includes numerous mobile home parks, low-rent apartments, and affordable housing. Although we do not gather family income information from our league member, based on empirical data, we believe our families represent the lowest incomes in Chula Vista. The southwest portion of the city has very few open green spaces for active recreation. CVNLL has served the Chula Vista community for over 44 years. The fencing, storage, and snack bar facilities are deteriorating and are in need of replacement. Our league is 100% financed by.our members and sponsors and receive no monetary support for the City of Chula Vista. . . ~!~ - - ~ 01Y Of CHUlA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 10 There are three reasons why we are asking for CDBG funding: 1. A CDBG grant will create a safer field of play for children participation in Little League Baseball 2. A CDBG grant will stabilize the financial health of CVNLL by reducing the annual maintenance costs of our aging facilities. 3. Our members cannot afford to pay higher fees that would be required to make all need repairs and upgrades. 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: Chula Vista National Little League is request CDBG funds to make repairs and much needed upgrades to our existing facilities. Our fences, backstops, dugouts, snack bar and score booths are all need of repair, replacement or upgrades. For an itemized list of the proposed repairs and upgrades, please refer to page 10, Budget, of this application. CDBG funds will NOT be used to purchase any routine operational item such as baseball equipment, office supplies, or pay utility bills. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? CDBG funds will be used to make much needed repairs and upgrade to fencing, back stops, score booths, the snack bar and other field related structures. Over the past few years, we have doubled our efforts to increase the sponsorship with local businesses. Try as we might, our efforts have not been rewarded. Compounding the situation is a drop in the enrollment of children participating in our league. We feel there are several contributing factors including the military deployment in the Middle East; the recent strike of supermarket employees; and the overall downtum in the economy since September 11,2001. All of members of the Chula Vista National Little League include managers, coaches, board members, players, and umpires are VOLUNTEERS. No one receives a salary, stipend or other compensation.

What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? We have several sources of fund-raising that supplement our income. The first event is our annual candy sale. Each member of the league is required to participate or pay a buyout fee. Last year, the event brought in $10,000 which represents 27% of our budget. Our second source of supplemental income is Sponsorships. We solicit the support of local business to contribute either a cash or merchandise donation. The amount of cash donation ranges from $75 to $1000 and represent 13% of our annual budget. We have had good success soliciting merchandise donations such as gift certificates, equipment rental, topsoil and other items that we would have been required to pay for. Our final source of income is Snack Bar operations and other miscellaneous activities. Our snack bar is operated by league volunteer and provides food and refreshments to the parents and family that attend our games. We also sell decals, tickets, t-shirts and other items to help raise funds.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: The Recreation Department provides community services with activities that promote community health and well being for the citizens of Chula Vista. These activities are diverse recreational, social, educational and cultural programs provided in community facilities and school campuses. Department staff and volunteers provide services with courtesy, integrity and respect for all community members and participants by utilizing the following goals for the department. The recreation department offers a variety of recreation and leisure services to the community. These services include nine key areas identified as being representative of the Department's functions: Aquatics Athletics Seniors and Therapeutics Centers and Schools Facilities and Fields. Communications and Marketing Staff and Volunteers Finance Management Current programs include but are not limited to: recreational programs for all age groups and nearly all interests (e.g., preschool programs, performing arts, arts and crafts, fitness and outdoor activities, personal development); therapeutics for the developmentally and physically disabled; community center activities; seasonal and holiday programs, cultural events; atWetics; aquatics; senior center activities and human services programs (e.g., information and referral and Life Options). The Department has earned a reputation for developing and implementing creative, innovative programs and activities that are responsive to Chula Vista's changing needs and community interests. The Department has worked in partnership and collaboration with community, non-profits, schools, and human service organizations to assess and provide programs and services that reflect community needs and are jointly funded. For example, the Otay Elementary School is a Healthy Start schools those partners with the Otay Recreation Center in providing community- wide programs and services. ~!~ - - ~ =Of œUIA VlSfA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: Chula Vista is one of San Diego County's most ethnically and culturally diverse communities. It is the second largest incorporated city in the region covering 34 square miles. The city is less than ten miles form the US/Mexican Border. The Otay/Montgomery area is located in the southwest portion ofChula Vista. According to local statistics (provided by SANDAG February 1, 2004), more than one-half of the cities 173,556 residents are people of color; Latinos comprise the largest ethnic population of Chula Vista (50% of the city's population). More than half of Chula Vista's residents have incomes less than the Area Median Income (AMI) for the county. Twenty-nine percent of the cities population is 18 years of age or younger. The Sweetwater Union High School District and Chula Vista Elementary School District serve the area. In local schools, the numbers of children that qualifY for fÌ'ee and reduced lunch are approximately 82%. With the average being 72%. We are hoping this project will continue to engage the community with creative and thought provoking ideas for programs and services as well as job opportunities. By building these classrooms the Otay Recreation Center will be able to: · Increase the availability of positive alternatives to high-risk behaviors for children, youth and adults of the community. · Provide opportunities to new learn skills that improve the ability of children, youth and adults to make positive life choices. · Provide safe social and recreational activities for children who would otherwise be home alone. · Provide safe and healthy options for children of working parents after school. · Provide educational opportunities to help children, youth and adults experience success in life. The Recreation Department has a strong commitment to its mission, vision and values and looks upon these to perform effectively in the future. Mission Statement We enrich our community through recreational opportunities and services. Vision Statement Our vision is a community that achieves learning, self-discovery, balance, and essential life skills through recreation. ~!~ -"-- ~ 01Y OF QUA VlSfA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 9 Values Integrity Respect Professionalism Accountability Commitment Teamwork Fun 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: The proposed project is for the construction/building of classroom facilities for the Otay Recreation Center (ORC). The ORC was built in1999 and did not include classroom facilities. The facility does include an exterior courtyard that could be developed into classroom facilities. The objective would be to build 2000 square feet of rooms with dividable walls to allow for multiple uses. The courtyard area is primarily cement and has electricity facilitating the construction process. The majority of the expense would come ITom architectural design and engineering and actual construction costs. By building these classrooms the Otay Recreation Center will be able to: · Increase the availability of positive alternatives to higb-risk behaviors for children, youth and adults of the community · Provide opportunities to new learn skills that improve the ability of children, youth and adults to make positive life choices. · Provide safe social and recreational activities for children who would otherwise be home alone. · Provide safe and healthy options for children of working parents after school. · Provide educational opportunities to help children, youth and adults experience success in life. 9.

At this time there are no other funding opportunities that would allow for construction of this facility. 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? Currently the Recreation Department tracks attendance through a software database program for our clients enrolled in recreational/class activities. Demographic information can be obtained from the database, which includes the addresses of all participants. Additionally facility attendance is taken for drop in programs where clients do not register. Program goals and objectives are being met this year. Attendance of the Otay Recreation Center increases daily. We are continually working to meet the demands of the community by providing innovative and creative programming. Success is measured through attendance, program evaluations and an increase in programming offered to the community. We are evaluating our programs and services quarterly and working with the City's Police Department on gathering local statistics. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? The Recreation Department cooperates with the non-profit foundation, Friends ofChula Vista Parks and Recreation. This group raises funds to enhance programs and services provided by our department. Additionally the Otay Recreation Center has held community fundraisers like community car washes and accepts community donations. Partnerships with local business have brought many in-kind services that enrich the community and advertise the local businesses. ~!~ -'-- ~ =Qf CHUlA VlSrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 6 of 9 13.

The Community Center also serves as a site for bi-monthly visits by the Healthy Steps Mobile Health Clinic of the San Ysidro Health Center and monthly food distribution for the South Bay by the Neighborhood House Foodbank. Each of the above services also provides information and referral services to clients on a vast range of resources and community services. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: MAAC has provided a multitude of services to the low-income community in San Diego County over the past 39 years. The services offered by MAAC Project and our partner agencies target the low-income residents in the surrounding community. These services are open to all who qualify according to the guidelines of each specific program. The Community Charter School is a public charter school that targets students who are "at risk" socially and/or academically. In 2001, MAAC project embarked on a visionary partnership with the City of Chula Vista to purchase and renovate the abandoned 70,000 square foot facility located on seven acres at the corner of 3rd Ave. and Quintard St. in Chula Vista. Located in a Redevelopment Area, this huge facility formerly housed Jerome's furniture store and the County of San Diego Welfare to Work program. MAAC Project was able to arrange the financing and receive grants to support this $8,000,000 project. The City staff work with MAAC and our team of architects and contractors to produce a truly significant community center to serve the entire South Bay area. In 2002, the City of Chula Vista awarded the MAAC Community Center their Beautification Award. However, due to serious cost "over runs" generated by extensive retro-fitting required by the City Engineering Department to protect the facility against earthquakes, many desired improvements were not completed. In addition, the experience of living "with" the building over the past three years has pointed out to us serious problems that must be rectified in order to preserve this facility. We would also like to expand our recreational services that we provide to the community around us and make better use of these areas. MAAC did not ask for; nor, did we receive any funds to help with the redeveloping of this area so important to the redevelopment of the commercial area. Now, we are requesting that the City of Chula Vista partner with us once again through the utilization of CDBG Funds for Capital Improvement to make these needed improvements to our wonderful facility possible. .. 6. ~!~Iease describe the services you provide to your clients: .

We also need to construct a berm to divert overflow from the adjacent plaza during rains. It has also been recommended that a berm be placed around the electrical transformer and the main electrical room for the building. They flood every time it rains. We need to install two speed bumps in front of the Head Start and Charter School to slow traffic down. These speed bumps have been requested by parent groups from both programs. In order to provide a better recreational area in back of our building for our after- school program (open to the entire neighborhood), we are requesting the purchase and installation of three basketball backboards (one double sided). We would also like to install the volleyball standards in the back area as well. We have already purchased these but can not afford the installation costs. Additionally, we would like to have the height of the back wall increased by wire fencing to keep the balls from entering the yards of the neighboring apartments. There is no recreational area for the apartments and mobile home parks in the area. The entrance of our Health Services building needs to have a new storefront (doors and windows) to replace the existing electric doors. The present system is costly to repair and maintain. ~I~ ~ cnv Of CHUIA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of9 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? - The sump and pump are estimated to cost approximately $3,000. MAAC will provide in-kind services of our contractor/instructor to oversee construction ($4,000). Students will receive a stipend for their help on this work ($3,000). The asphalt reparation and construction of berms will cost $15,000. Our contractor/instructor will provide $4,000 of in-kind services to oversee this work. The students will receive $4,000 in stipends to dig and install the drains and berms. The speed bumps will cost $1,000 to install. The backboards and fence will cost $6,000. The contractor/instructor will provide $2,000 worth of in-kind services to oversee this work. Students will receive stipends of $3,000 for their work on this installation. The MAAC facility manager will also provide in-kind oversight for the entire project. This is approximated at $1,500. 10.

What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? MAAC project took on the burden of financing the entire $8,000,000 project in 2001. Although it is located in a Redevelopment Zone, MAAC did not receive financial aid from the City of Chula Vista for this project. MAAC has taken approximately $20,000 from their reserve accounts each of the past two years to finance building maintenance and repairs. MAAC is presently planning a Gala Event for July 2005 to raise funds for our programs. On an ongoing basis, MAAC actively seeks funding from a variety of sources including, but not limited to: Foundations, Corporate, governmental funding sources, and special fundraising events throughout the year. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. MAAC Project does not have the financial ability to make these improvements this year or within the near future. The rains and overflow from the adjacent plaza will continue to flood and damage our new facility. Over the past two years, we have lost several days of school. We have had damage to computer equipment. We have had to replace dry wall and rugs and combat mold problems. Without the sump and berms, this problem will continue. The asphalt in the rear of the building needs to be re-Ieveled and proper drainage installed. It then needs to be resealed. The lack of two additional speed bumps constitutes a safety hazard for our children. We do not have the funds to install these safety bumps. The after school program for the neighborhood will not have adequate recreational facilities. This is not in our budget for this next fiscal year. MAAC will have to continue to fix the electric door system which is obsolete. This is very expensive. Any movement within twenty feet opens the door. This is a waste of electricity as well as heating and air conditioning. 14. Who will be providing the program services?

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: It is the mission of the Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista to provide positive activities and opportunities to develop the health, self esteem and character of the youth of our community, enabling them to reach their fullest potential. This is accomplished through facility based activities that include homework help/tutoring, substance abuse prevention, specialized health education programs, cultural arts, social recreation and individual & team sports, leagues, tournaments, and special events. This is augmented by special interest group clubs and youth development programs, The Boys & Girls Club is open and available to all youth in Chula Vista, but otTers special help to children not served elsewhere. Children from low income, single parent families and gender specific programs are major target groups for program services. The Boys & Girls Club serves a target population of youth between the ages 6 and 18 years of age throughout the Chula Vista area. Over 5,000 youth are served by the organization on a yearly basis. 71 % of those youth have been identified from low-income families. The organization provides services to a majority of these children located in areas of the city considered significantly impacted including Otay, Montgomery, Lauderbach, Harborside, Rohr, Palomar, Rice, Loma Verde, Parkview, Greg Rogers, Mueller, and Feaster Edison efementary school areas. For almost five decades, the Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista has been serving cbildren and youth from all backgrounds in the South Bay, with special concern for those from disadvantaged circumstances, to develop the qualities needed to become responsible citizens and leaders. The Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista has continuously participated in city sponsored needs assessments as well as collaborations with other community based organizations. In response to community needs the Club has expanded its core services to youth (ages 6-18) to include licensed child care programs for ages 2 y, to 5 years old. The very successful after school transportation program was born out of one needs assessment and has expanded to include walking, van, and bus transportation programs currently moving over 400 children each day to wholesome recreation activities and supervision. In addition to serving children, the Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista (as requested by the City in the Lauderbach use agreement) took the responsibility in late 1999 of providing continued service to the Senior Citizens Proe:ram at the (now) over 34 year old Lauderbach Center on Oxford Street. Club StatT provide a number of services to the Senior's Program including facility management for meetings, luncheons, craft fairs, and social recreation programs on a weekly basis. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDSG funding: The Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista target population is boys & girls ages six to eighteen years old, primarily disadvantaged and not serviced by other organizations. The need for facility refurbishment under this CIP Project of CDBG is self evident. The Facility is over 34 years old with many "parts" wornout. The Club has been providing services the past four and half years and has worked to keep the facility safe and usable. Many long-term refurbishment projects can no fonger be delayed without jeopardizing the safety of program participants. ~r,t... - - ~ OIY()F CHUIA V/SfA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 10 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: This is a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) providing funding for needed facility refurbishment of a 34 year old building, This is a non-program funded project request. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? As a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for needed facility refurbishment, the following specific items need attention: - Repair/replace facility roof due to numerous water leaks when it rains. - Repair/replace tiled floor throughout facility with special attention to areas of high use and water damage from roof leakage. - Replace heavy-duty metal security doors to facility storage and restroom area that have been damaged over the years through use and attempted break-in. - Repair/replace over-head light fixtures through-out facility that no longer function or provide adequate lighting. - Replace large "wall to wall" room dividing curtain - Upgrade facility security systems including emergency lighting - Repair/replace kitchen sink, install pantry and stainless food preparation areas - Repair/replace a number of various items including: electrical receptacles, exit signs, upper window locks The Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista utilizes available funding to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars. While excess funds are seldom available, the Club does apply for foundation and private grants to assist with programs.

In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. The Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista continuously looks for opportunities to increase funding to support quality programs and expand services to the youth of the community, While the Club is involved with numerous collaborations regarding program services, capital improvement project funding is limited. Should CDBG funds received be less than requested, a priority system on critical aspects of the CIP project will be implemented to insure projects are completed when funds become available and if necessary build the project in phases. Additional fund-raising activities include seeking additional financial support from individuals, businesses, and major corporations through oUr Benefactor Support Campaign. In addition, we are exploring funding Opportunities through state funding and foundations. Increa~ed fundraising activities that have been planned to support program activities would be used on the most critical of projects that allow continued occupancy of the facility, This CIP project is critical for allowing safe services to be provided within a safe facility and will allow for the enhancement of services to additional children 14.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: SBCS is a private, 501 (C)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide children, youth, and families in the South Bay area with services which reinforce the family's role in our community and assist individuals to aspire realistically to lives of self-fulfillment. This is addressed through the provision of culturally competent bilingual (English/Spanish) services aimed at the following general purposes: I. To provide services, support, and opportunities for children, youth, and families. II. To provide area career opportunities, exploration, and exposure. III. To provide outreach and education in the community. IV. To provide community development and social service activities. South Bay Community Services' style is committed to providing respectful services based on community strengths, needs and goals. SBCS began in 1971 as a treatment center for drug abusing teens, and the scope of programming has grown to include Individual, group, and family counseling; a continuum of housing, shelter and support services to assist homeless families, youth, and domestic violence victims and their children in developing self-sufficient lifestyles; transitional and other affordable housing programs; youth employment training and assistance; drug & alcohol prevention, education, and day treatment programs; domestic violence prevention and intervention services; community and economic development services and projects; juvenile delinquency prevention and diversion; gang intervention; alternative schooling; after school programs for Middle School youth; literacyltutoring; mentoring programs and health education. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: The target population is children, youth and families in the South Bay area, mainly Chula Vista residents, who are experiencing difficulties and need assistance to reach self-sufficiency. This agency should be assisted because this range and variety of human and social services mentioned in number 6 and provided to the citizens of Chula Vista is offered by no other agency in the South Bay. ~{~ --- ~ mY'" CHUIA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: Funds are being requested to pay office rent on 10,000 sq. ft. at SBCS' main office site at 1124 Bay Blvd, Suite D, Chula Vista 91911 (as of January 21, 2002). SBCS houses the following programs at these offices: Domestic Violence prevention and intervention services, Juvenile Delinquency prevention services, Family Counseling offices, Child & Youth Violence Reduction Groups, Chlid & Youth Tutoring Services, Gang Prevention & Intervention Program, Rental Assistance Program, Affordable Housing Data Base, Earned Income Tax Credit Program, Community Development Program, Teen Recovery Center and Drug Prevention, and Administration of SBCS as well as providing space for the County Department of Education's Summit School for South Bay youth. SBCS maintains a large group of volunteers, which includes the Board of Directors who are members of the Chula Vista community. This is the only agency in Chula Vista which provides this range and depth of community-based services for youth and their families, the majority of whom are low income. Services are provided not only at the main agency site but also at other SBCS sites in the South Bay. Transportation is provided for some activities 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? Funds will be used to pay rent on office space at main office site, 1124 Bay Blvd, Suite D, Chula Vista, 91911 ~!~ - - ~ mY OF CHUlA VlSrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 4 of 9 10. Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? Statistical information is collected from all participants upon entry into services which can include name, address, zip code, gender, date of birth, income level, ethnicity, referral source, and more. Additionally, clients present documents such as pay stubs, income tax returns, welfare documentation or other documents to verify income level. The income level is determined by the most current HUD income limits for the San Diego SMSA. Because of the emergency nature of some of the services, some information is solely self-report. Evaluation of the program to measure success: evaluation is an ongoing process that takes place from intake to termination of client services, and relies upon several measures. These include a Family Well Being Assessment guide to track progress toward goals set at the beginning of services, tracking completion of scheduled curricula and/or attendance at group counseling sessions, and follow-ups 6 months after termination of services to determine long-term impact. SBCS' & other members' programs maintain a variety of monthly reporting forms and methods, because of fairly stringent rules under which we operate 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. N/A This is not a collaborative proposal, though SBCS collaborates with many agencies in the course of providing services. ~!~ ~ 0lY OF CHUlA VISfA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of9 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? SBCS has an aggressive Development Department that coordinates fund-raising activities and the Foundation Committee regulariy makes applications to private Foundations and Corporations for funds. (Recent donors include the Stuart Foundation, the McCarthy Foundation, and the Oser Fund for Women). SBCS participates in a number of fundraising activities during the year, including the annual capital campaign, Liberty Walk which is a fund raiser done in concert with other County Domestic Violence agencies, a Fashion Show co chaired by Assemblywoman Shirley Horton and Mayor Steve Padilia, utilizing public officials such as law enforcement officers as the models, Harbor Days w/South Bay Cruisers, activities at the annual Thunder Boats races in Mission Bay, Shop-With-a-Cop (Christmas fund raiser with other agencies), Adopt-a-Family at Christmas, and various donors such as Beta Sigma Phi who now gives something in-kind every month (e.g., candy to moms in shelter on Mother's Day, food at Thanksgiving, stuffed animals for the children in shelter, toys and candy at Halioween, Easter favors, etc.). Aiso, the program is augmented by the South Bay-wide Coliaborative Community Services for Families funded by the County to provide early intervention and prevention to families at risk of family violence. So far in Fiscal Year 2004-2005, SBCS has raised $180,145 in cash, and as of February we have received more than $25,000 worth of in-kind donations such as food, clothing, furniture (beds, couches, lamps, tables, chairs), linens, kitchen utensils, and toys. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDBG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. SBCS' fundraising activities will continue unabated, some of which are listed in #12. Since we are a community based agency we have to depend on funds from a variety of funders and donor sources, none of whom wish to be a sole donor, so this necessitates a constant search for new funding sources. We wili stili be able to offer services, but at a reduced level until the funds for these services are raised elsewhere, since if we do not have the funds for the rent, direct service money would be diverted to rent until the deficit is made up. ~I~ --- ~ =Of CHUIA VISfA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 6 of 9 14.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: SBes is a 33 year old multi-service, private, 501(C)(3) nonprofit community development organization whose mission is to provide children, youth and families in San Diego's South Bay area with services which reinforce the family's role in our community and assist individuals to aspire realistically to lives of self- fulfillment. This is addressed through the provision of culturally competent bilingual (English/Spanish) services aimed at the following purposes: 1. provide counseling and education for children and families; 2. provide area career opportunities and exploration; 3. provide community outreach and education; 4. provide community development and social service activities; provide programs for children and families in high-risk situations. SBCS provides a comprehensive array of services for very low income families in our short term and transitional housing while working to assist them in achieving independence and self-sufficiency. Services include case management; emergency food and clothing; assistance with accessing entitlements such as MediCal, Temporary Aid to Needy Families, Social Security, Veteran's Benefits, and others; Mental Health services; Financial Literacy classes; Individual Development Accounts; employment readiness classes; children's counseling and after-school activities; childcare while parents are in classes or working. SBCS has developed over 300 units of affordable housing. Resident services include Financial Literacy, Parent Education, assistance with child care, after school and school readiness programming, employment assistance, mc, Individual Development Accounts (for home down payment) and First Time Homebuyer Education. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: Families at 35% or below Median income are the target population for this funding. Affordable housing for very, very low income families (35% and below median income is at a crisis state. In Chula Vista, while we have done a good job in developing affordable housing for low and moderate income families, we have very limited resources for very, very low income families. These families and individuals are what are known as the working poor, SBCS, local schools, Family Resource Centers and other community agencies have struggled to find options. SBes is in the initial planning stages of developing a permanent affordable housing development to meet this income population. In the meantime those who are exiting homeless shelters, temporarily staying with friends, living in campgrounds, and/or living in motels and/or cars are in need of some type of assistance. This program will be more effective than opening another homeless shelter. Shelters are overcrowded and backed up because of a lack of affordable options to which families can exit. ~!~ ~ CIlYOI ŒUA VI5fA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: HOME funds will be utilized to provide a rental subsidy and security deposit payments for families making 35% and below median income. SBCS will inspect the apartments, provide income verification, and provide continued recertification of families' income. Case Management services (Through existing non-HOME funded programs at SBCS and the Family Resource Centers), financial literacy classes and other self-sufficiency services will be provided in order for the families to be ready to move on within the 24 month time frame required under HOME. The rental assistance will be provided through an assistance contract to an owner that leases a unit to an assisted family or directly to the family. In either case, SBCS must approve the lease. The rental for any unit size will be based on local market conditions. 9. Specifically describe what the CDBG funds will be used for (salaries, wages, benefits, etc.). What other sources of funds does your organization use to leverage Chula Vista's CDBG dollars? Use for funds: 1. Rental subsidies for approximately 25 families (approx.4-S persons/family) at $730 per month per family. 2. Security Deposit for 25 families @ approx $1270/family 3. Salary and benefits for a Program Coordinator 4. Operating Expenses such as telephone, utilities, insurance, postage and printing, and mileage. SBCS receives a range of funding that leverages the requested funding, including State of California Maternal & Child Health Funds, Office of Emergency Services, San Diego County funds, HUD Supportive Housing funds, United Way, and Foundation funding such as Fieldstone, McCarthy Family Foundation, San Diego Foundation, Stuart Foundation, and the Oser Fund for Women, and funds from fundraising events such as the annual Fashion Show.

Please describe the services you provide to your clients: SBCS provides safe housing for homeless families with children, approximately 75% of whom are victims of domestic violence. Housing is provided during which they participate in a comprehensive family-strengths based assessment to discover all of the issues they are confronting and to develop a treatment plan to deal with these. During their time In shelter they receive case management services; Financial Literacy information; victim support groups; counseling and/or mental health services for both adults and children; after school programming for children and youth; tutoring; community advocacy; connection with any mainstream resources to which they are entitled such as TANF & Social Security benefits; childcare to assist them while working or training or going to school; transportation; and assistance with obtaining stable affordable housing when they exit the program. A Specialized school readiness program due to low performance of shelter children in school is now available. During their stay they are housed in separate apartments one to two families per apartment which have their own kitchens. The apartments are furnished. They are assisted with food and clothing, until they establish incomes, since many have left their former abusive homes with nothing: no money, clothing, driver's license, identification, Insurance papers. With the cooperation of the local school district, children are allowed to either attend their own home school, attend the school closest to the shelter (in cases where attending their own former school would be too dangerous) or assisted with transportation to attend their own home schools. Parents are assisted in connecting with job training, and case managers provide job interview and job retention skills building information. 7. Please describe your organization's target population and why your program should received CDBG funding: The target population Is homeless families with children. Many of our families in shelter are dealing with a variety of issues, educational, emotional, and of course economical. A large majority are homeless due to domestic violence" and in many cases the children have also suffered injury, either emotional or physical. The majority 68% of the residents are Latino, reflecting the Chula Vista community. SBCS operates the only homeless shelters In the South Bay Region of the County. .When families are homeless, their children like to attend their home schools, which maintains for them a sense of normalcy when everything else has been torn away. This simplifies things somewhat for the parent, who can be satisfied her child is safe while she works on getting a job, developing some skills, and getting back on her feet. In addition, we are always receiving more requests for shelter beds than we have. This additional funding would allow us to house and serve more clients, by allowing for short term stays In motels while staff work with them to find housing. These funds will also help our clients toward self-sufficiency by assisting with childcare costs while they acquire job skills or complete their educations. Through County, State and City funds SBCS provides comprehensive services for families in shelter. ~!~ -TI- ~ OJY OF CHUA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 3 of 9 8. Describe the specific program for which CDBG funds are being requested: We are requesting funds for Casa Nueva Vida (CNV-an 11 year old program). CNV is the program for homeless families, most of whom are victims of domestic violence. Staff develop a comprehensive strengths-based family assessment, after which together they develop a treatment plan so the client can work to re-establish self-sufficiency and end their homelessness. Staff helps get them new identification if papers have been left behind; helps them get employment and employment retention skills; provides mental health services; works with some to repair physical damage (e.g., through Change-a-Life Foundation, get surgery to repair facial damage); works with the children to ensure they are school-ready (if they are under 5) or ensure they can attend school safely; works with youth to help normalize their lives with after school programming, and with mental health services if needed; and works with the family to establish safe affordable housing when they leave the program. Many of the services Include attendance at classes or programs where they will learn something that will help them end their homelessness (such as financial literacy and budgeting), and if they have small children child care is essential. Also women who obtain jobs need child care While they increase their income enough so they can eventually move into their own housing. We have been able to support only 'Iz of the child care needs recently. In addition, SBCS shelters are usually full and so we house families in Motels and work with them on their self- sufficiency plans while they are there. 9.

Please describe the methods your organization will utilize to track income levels, demographic information and the evaluation of the program to measure success? Income levels and demOQraDhic information: Statistical information is collected from all participants upon entry into services which can include name, address, zip code, gender, date of birth, income level, ethnicity, referral source, and more. Additionally, clients present documents such as pay stubs, income tax returns, welfare documentation or other documents to verify income level. The income level is determined by the most current HUD income limits for the San Diego SMSA. Because of the emergency nature of some of the services, some information is solely self-report. Evaluation of the Droqram to measure success: evaluation is an ongoing process that takes place from intake to termination of client services, and relies upon several measures. These include a Family Well Being Assessment guide to track progress toward goals of the treatment plan set at the beginning of services, tracking completion of scheduled curricula and/or attendance at group counseling sessions, and follow-ups 6 months after termination of services to determine long-term impact. Clients are also asled to complete a confidential Client Satisfaction Questionnaire. Information from these questionnaires are utilized to identify problems and improve services. SBCS maintains a variety of monthly reporting forms and methods, because of fairly stringent rules under which we operate. These reports and the information we gather assist us in evaluating our programs. Currently 67% ofthe people who finally leave our housing programs go on to stable affordable housing. Adding the proposed services will increase our clients' chances of success. 11. If your application is a collaborative proposal, please identify the participating agencies and the amount of funding requested by each agency. Also, describe the process of allocating CDBG funds between each participating agency. This is not a collaborative proposal, though the program depends on collaborative relationships, since we work with many other community agencies and organizations in order to operate this program effectively. The School Districts work closely with us to ensure our children and youth can attend schools safely; we work with CalWORKS to help clients get assistance until they get back on their feet; we work with Legal Aid and other organizations to get clients legal assistance; we work with YMCA Family Stress Counseling Services to get clients' children counseling for abuse. All our clients' children take advantage of the services collaborators of our CDBG Youth Services Network services. ~!~ ---11- ~ CßY Of CHUIA VISrA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 5 of 9 12. What types of fund raising activities, if any, does your organization undertake to supplement your budget and how much was raised during the previous fiscal year? SBCS has an aggressive Development Department that coordinates fund-raising activities and the Foundation Committee regularly makes applications to private Foundations and Corporations for funds. (Recent donors include the Stuart Foundation, the McCarthy Foundation, and the Oser Fund for Women, the Ronald McDonald Foundation, SI. Germaine Auxiliary, Stafford memorial Trust, Tiger Woods Foundation, Union Bank, Wells Fargo Housing Foundation and many more,). SBCS participates in a number of fundraising activities during the year, including the annual capital campaign, Liberty Walk which is a fundraiser done in concert with other County Domestic Violence agencies, a Fashion Show co chaired by Assemblywoman Shirley Horton and Mayor Steve Padilla, utilizing public officials such as law enforcement officers as the models, Harbor Days w/South Bay Cruisers, activities at the annual Thunder Boats races in Mission Bay, Shop-With-a-Cop (Christmas fundraiser with other agencies), Adopt-a- Family at Christmas, and various donors such as Beta Sigma Phi who now gives something in-kind every month (e.g., candy to moms in shelter on Mother's Day, food at Thanksgiving, stuffed animals for the children in shelter, toys and candy at Halloween, Easter favors, etc.). Have someone Pam or Joa ann call Marc at Family stress to descrivbe their fundraising . Also, the program is augmented by the South Bay-wide Collaborative Community Services for Families funded by the County to provide early intervention and prevention to families at risk of family violence. So far in Fiscal Year 2004-2005, SBCS has raised $180,145 in cash, and as of February we have received more than $25,000 worth of in-kind donations such as food, clothing, furniture (beds, couches, lamps, tables, chairs), linens, kitchen utensils, and toys. 13. In the event your organization does not receive the requested amount of CDSG funding, how will this impact your organization and its ability to offer services. SBCS' fundraising activities will continue. Fundraising activities as well as proposals written to City, County, State and Federal funding sources occur on a continual basis. Some of SBCS' activities are listed in #12. Since we are a community based agency we have to depend on funds from a variety of funders and donor sources, none of whom wish to be a sole donor, so this necessitates a constant search for new funding sources. We will still be able to offer services, but at a reduced level until the funds for these services are raised elsewhere. Provision of services will be prioritized to those most essential ~f~ - - ~ CllYOf a-tUlA VISTA Funding Proposal Application FY 2005-2006 Page 6 of 9 14. Who will be providing the program services?

On the Matter of Wild Cucumber in Chula Vista (species name "Marah Macrocarpus") Presented Ml\I"ch 29, 2005 Brian Taraz 619-726-4964 btaraz@aol.com 1057 Los Pinos Ct. Chula Vista, 91910 Dear Council members Castaneda, Davis, McCann, Rindone and Mayor Padilla, I wish to bring to the attention of the City of Chula Vista a "natural" situation which I believe warrants some investigation on the part of the city leaders. It is the unprecedented growth and fruiting of an indigenous plant called "Marah Macrocarpus". While I am not a botanist or scientist the historic rains have made the presence of this plant extremely conspicuous. It's part ofthe cucumber family and grows as a vine. At the end of this winter it was covering a great deal of the normal flora in Rice Canyon, where I occasionally take my daughter to hunt for insects. At one point I looked close enough to observe the large, green spiked fruit which is commonly called Wild Cucumber. I picked a few and no one seemed familiar with it. I tasted the juice of one and it burned my tongue. I decided to investigate and, long story short, came to find its species name and discover some basic information, most of which is anecdotal. Manroot refers to the taproot which tends to look like a "man" and can get as large as 400 pounds. This species is indigenous from LA south to the border. Some tribes used a mash from the root as well as the green fruit to do "poison fishing" in streams. As a result this fruit is considered to be poisonous. Boiled leaves of the vine were used to cure hemorrhoids and a concoction from the seeds was used to treat scalp conditions, in particular thinning hair. The dried inside is shaped like a loofa pad and can be used as such. The children used the seeds for marbles. According to the botanists at the Museum of Natural History in Balboa park this is not a "rare" plant. Neither is it considered as protected or endangered. According to Poison Control, while the plant is listed, there are no documented cases of poisoning of people or animals. So why do I wish to draw the cities attention to this plant? I have thus far been in contact with a biologist from UCSD, a medical researcher at Genentech, a plant scientist at a nniversity in Albany, NY and a number of naturalists. At the very least they concur that this amount of growth is "unusual". That being said there has been virtually no credible research done on these very unusual "fruit". So there's a number of aspects that I think should be of interest- A) Since it is growing in such abundance at this point through out Chula Vista - Is it truly poisonous and if so in what way (i.e. is it lethal)? Do the fruits and seeds contain elements that will alter the condition of the soil and change the surrounding environment. B) Normally the plant grows as a vine and, given how huge these fruit are, it is doubtful that there has ever been such a bumper crop of these fruit in Chula Vista. One plant had, at one time, some 50 harvestable fruit. Each fruit has upwards of a dozen huge seeds. There are at least a thousand or more of these plants throughout Chula Vista and it would be very conservative to say that, as they go to seed and drop their payload, there will be upwards of 100,000 seeds dispersed. This would mean that, whenever that next big rain is - in a couple of years or a couple of decades, the next "coming out" party will be at least 10 fold as large. It would seem to be in the interest of the city to at least take this "opportunity" to study the plant a little. C) I've also seen the plant in other parts of San Diego and am certain that it is scattered in different concentrations throughout. After speaking with a County park ranger and some other county folks that work on trails, it is doubtful they have much more interest in this "situation" than anybody else. I believe this is easily explained insofar as most of the initial growth took part during the rains (people not hiking), plus the fact that much of the concentrated growth is in canyon areas, halfway up hills alongside roads that have no parking because of bike lanes, etc. making it difficult to access. Furthermore all that's really visible is the beautiful leafy canopy because the fruit are so heavy that they generally drop under the leaves. The point is that Chula Vista, given its municipal progressiveness, is in a position to simply study this plant and, as a result, be in a vanguard position to give information and advice to other cities and the county if it should prove to be needful at some time in the future. D) The closest comparison might be the plant called "Kudzoo" in the Southwestern US. Imported originally from Japan it is a vine from the legume family. It was considered to have beneficial properties but, cutting to the chase, it is now a pest in the south which can only be eradicated with great difficulty. While historically this plant has been a pleasant early vine which would die back early and leave only a lacey covering over other plants, I would submit the idea that there are some times "tipping points" in nature as there are in society. I believe this could be one of those ''tipping'' points for our geographic area. In conclusion, I thank you for your time and ask your forgiveness for this mildly disconnected presentation. The upshot is this - one of two things is true; Either this plant is just another plant of not much consequence and there's nothing to it OR This plants current major outgrowth presents a historic and unique opportunity to discover one of nature's gifts right under our nose. If the fIrst, it's a couple of moments and dollars wasted. If the latter it could be a great boon to Chula Vista and perhaps beyond. A last thought: In Christopher Nyerges seminal work "Guide to Wild Foods and Useful Plants" he has exhaustively discussed mustard plants, thistles, various cactus and other vegetation. In his entry for Wild Cucumber, the only such published piece of information, he covers the plant generally but ends with the following thought. "Perhaps there are still unknown uses of this manroot which we've not yet discovered" I believe there's something to be discovered and I believe Chula Vista should be the place to first investigate this amazing piece of nature. Respectfully,
