:y Council Meeting
/ACTION:
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Donald P. Reynolds Jr., Management Analyst gy
DATE: March 18, 1992
SUBJECT: 1992/93 Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") Public
Hearing for the Appropriation of Funds, (estimated to be
$184,334)
The following report will briefly summarize Moorpark CDBG
activities and program requirements, and recommend for the
Council's consideration proposals for the use of this year's CDBG
monies. Staff's recommendation is that the Council open the public
hearing and receive public testimony, close the public hearing,
allow the Budget and Finance Committee to review the proposals and
testimony, and return to the Council April 15, 1992, with a
recommendation for final appropriations. A second report to the
Council is scheduled for public hearing on March 25, 1992, which
may make an additional $5,925 available for consideration in
conjunction with the 1992/93 CDBG appropriations.
This year, the City received 21 different proposals requesting
funds from the City's CDBG program. Staff has prepared a proposal
summary presented in Attachment "A" to this report. Actual grant
proposals are located on the Council's desk and provide additional
details of each program.
Background
On January 8, 1992, staff presented the Council with a summary of
past City CDBG activities, (Attachment "B "). Of the three national
objectives-for the CDBG program, ( 1) benefit low and moderate
income persons, 2) eliminate slum and blighted conditions, and 3)
to address and urgent health and safety need), the City has
focussed on the low and moderate income objective. CDBG programs
have benefitted low and moderate income persons in the following
way: 68.50% Public Facilities- including street improvements, and
facility acquisition for Food Share and Boys and Girls Club of
Moorpark; 14.98% Affordable Housing- primarily for acquisition, but
not including the loan repayment of $100,000 which has been
targeted for this use and will raise the percentage to 25.67% when
it becomes available; 8.02% Public Services; 8.50% Administration.
In making these appropriations, the City followed the prescribed
formula which places limits on funding for administrative
activities and public service programs. Administrative caps are
calculated based on the entire Entitlement grant award, and public

service caps equal 15% of the City's total grant award. The
Council can select programs separate from these limits if it so
chooses, but as in the past, staff is recommending that the full
amc nt available for administration and public services be awarded.
Discussion
This grant year, a new Cooperative agreement containing a revised
formula (which includes a "poverty index" for the first time) for
the distribution of funds is applicable. When the three year
agreement was executed in July 1991, staff estimated that this
change would lower the City's annual grant award by approximately
$17,000. The poverty index was only made applicable to the
"program" funding amounts, and did not impact the administrative
calculations. Therefore, this year, we see an overall decrease in
the grant of $10,246, distributed as follows;
_ Administration = $970 increase;
Public Services = $1,537 decrease;
Development programs = $9,679 decrease.
Based upon an estimated grant amount of $184,334, administration
can be appropriated up to $22,590, and public service awards can be
appropriated 15% of the total grant, or $27,650. If the Council
chooses to use the grant at the maximum allowed amounts for
administration and public services, than a balance of $134,094
would remain for projects separate from these categories.
Each year, the City has an opportunity to appropriate funds which
would allow for the County to administer the program, commonly
referred to as a Joint Powers Agreement, ( "JPA"). If the County
funds a program which serves the Entitlement jurisdiction, and the
City also funds the same program, than the project is eligible for
a JPA. This year, two programs are eligible for a JPA; Homeless
Ombudsman, and the Long Term Care Ombudsman.
outside Organization's Proposals
In soliciting proposals, staff attended a preliminary joint staff
meeting at the County. of Ventura on December 14, 1991, and then
proceeded in mailing over 30 proposals in January to various
agencies in the County. Of those sent out, 16 agencies responded
submitting 21 total proposals (as presented in Attachment "A"). In
staff's summary, proposals are divided two ways; 1) proposal type,
and 2) proposal "group." "Group" distinguishes new (or proposed)
from existing City programs, and "type" refers to the funding caps
applied by HUD for public services, administration and also divides
the development proposals into facility improvements and affordable
housing.
The eligibility of each grant proposal has been evaluated by staff.
One proposal, AIDS Care Housing Assistance, is identified as an
ineligible activity because HUD does not allow a direct cash
contribution of CDBG to a beneficiary, (staff has contacted the
agency and they are looking for alternative funding sources). A
second proposal, ZOE Resource Center, is considered by staff to be
ineligible because previous CDBG applications for this same
prUperty have resulted in potentially detrimental environmental
findings, resulting in a denial of CDBG to ZOE. Two projects will
require a preliminary eligibility review prior to obligating funds
because it is not clear that the majority of beneficiaries of the
agencies are of low and moderate income; AIDS Care Director's
salary, and the Alzheimer's Association, (Alzheimer's serves the
family members not necessarily the victim).
City Proposals
The following section of this report will outline proposals for
direct uses by the City. Staff is recommending that the public
service proposals received from other agencies be considered for
use of the $27,590 that is available for this purpose.
Administration
Staff recommends that the entire $22,590 available for
administration be appropriated for City costs. The need. for City
staff time is continuing to expand as the City becomes active in
using the CDBG resources, and as HUD transmits new reporting
requirements. During this fiscal year, staff estimates that at
least 1,100 hours has been spent on CDBG related issues, including
roughly 200 hours to complete_. the new Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy, ( "CHAS "). Two proposals were received by
the City for the use of the administration dollars, (the Homeless
Coalition- $1600, and the Fair Housing Advocacy program- $1890),
but the requested amounts are too small to be feasible for the City
to consider without the potential of having a JPA agreement for
County administration.
Streets and Affordable Housing
Two existing programs are in need of additional CDBG funding;
street improvements and affordable housing land acquisition. Staff
recommends that each project receive strong consideration by. the
Council again this year. The balance of $134,094 may be targeted
for these two uses.
Attachment "C" is a copy of a letter from Cabrillo Economic
Development Corporation ( "CEDC ") which explains that if the City
can commit $25,000 to affordable housing, then CEDC will be able to
demonstrate a total commitment by the City of $250,000 to the State
which makes CEDC eligible for rental assistance funds. It is
staff's understanding that negotiations are currently moving
forward for a piece of property in Moorpark, which in consideration
of the potential available resources, makes the realization of a
new affordable housing project in Moorpark more promising than in
past years.
The City expects to award the bid for Phase I street improvements
on Charles Street in June, 1992. Currently, CDBG constitutes about
one fourth of the construction costs for this phase. With this
scRedule, it may be possible to use a 1992/93 grant award for
streets in July. This is based on the County's schedule, which last
year did make funding available in July.. The Council may also wish
to evaluate funding resources and CDBG for Phase II of this
project. Because CDBG regulations will be applicable to the
construction phase of this project, use of additional CDBG funds
for Charles Street is a logical choice.
New Considerations
The Americans with Disabilities Act ( "ADA ") places a variety of new
requirements upon the City to be met by January 1993, which can
rely on CDBG as a funding resource. Last year, the City removed
121 architectural barriers, and an inventory of remaining
_ architectural barriers must be developed by July, 1992. The
inventory will demonstrate additional improvements that may be
required, (which includes park play equipment), and CDBG can be
used to fund these improvements.
Summary
The City received 4 more applications this year for grant funds
than last year, and experienced a decrease in funding from last
year of $10,246. This makes the appropriation process even more
difficult than in the past. "Staff is recommending that the entire
administrative portion be appropriated for City costs, that the
public service dollars be distributed amongst those agencies that
applied, and that the balance of funds be divided between streets,
affordable housing and possibly for the removal of architectural
barriers. Staff recommends that these appropriations be considered
by the Council concurrently with the surplus funds scheduled for
reappropriation march 25, 1992.
Recommendation
That the City Council:
1) Receive public testimony for consideration in
appropriating the 1992/93 Community Development Block
Grant funds estimated to be $184,334 and close the public
hearing;
2) Defer final appropriations to the April 15, 1992, City
Council meeting;
3) Direct the Budget and Finance Committee to review
proposals prior :o the April 15, 1992, Council meeting
and wake a recc-mendation to the Council for final
appropriation.

TITLE:
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
ADMINISTRATION
FAIR HOUSING SET ASIDE
AMOUNT: $1,890
It has been requested by the "Fair Housing Steering Committee," in
a letter presented to staff by the County CAO's office, that each
agency represented by the Entitlement CDBG program pay for
upgrading the fair housing program currently being undertaken on
behalf of the Entitlement CDBG program by the Area Housing
Authority. HUD recommends that 1% of the Entitlement CDBG budget
be devoted to fair housing, and this amount, ($21,000), was then
divided by the percent of population in each jurisdiction, (9% for
Moorpark). If the Council concurs with this request, it should be
recognized that an administrative contribution will be made in
addition to this amount, to accommodate staff's attendance at Fair
Housing Steering Committee meetings, (City staff did not attend the
first meeting which resulted in this funding request).
TYPE: ADMINISTRATION AMOUNT: $1,600
TITLE: HOMELESS COALITION COORDINATOR
The request is for administrative activities associated with the
development of a comprehensive plan regarding services and support
for homeless persons. The Coalition seeks support for the staff
person that will be in a position to assist government, non - profit
agencies, volunteers and the business community to coordinate
homeless assistance activities. The agency states that because
there is no central coordinator for homeless activities, that
independent decisions are causing fragmented services and that
funding opportunities are being missed.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $1,500
TITLE: HOMELESS OMBUDSMAN (JPA)
Joint funding for the staff that serves as an ombudsman to homeless
persons. During this fiscal year, the agency set out to serve
1,000 persons, and after 6 months the agency had served 900.
Thirty of these persons originated from Moorpark.
7
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $10,000
TITLE: SENIOR NUTRITION
Staff person to continue the provision of food services to Moorpark
Seniors. Currently, the agency provides meals to 61 seniors at the
Senior Center, and 26 seniors who receive home delivered meals.
The staff person helps to coordinate the serving and preparation of
the meals, as well as coordinate the distribution of menus and
public outreach for the program.
TYPE:
PUBLIC SERVICE
(EXIST.)
AMOUNT: $1,000
TITLE:
LONG TERM CARE
OMBUDSMAN
(JPA)
The function of this agency acts as a "watch -dog" for seniors in
support of those who are in a long -term care facility. This is the
only support available for persons or family members in need of
defense against abuse and neglect when cared for in these
facilities. Approximately 5% of the City's seniors will eventually
become dependent upon a the service provided at a long -term care
facility. This year, the County funded the program, making it
eligible for a Joint Powers Agreement.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $8,500
TITLE: CATHOLIC CHARITIES
Continuation of case worker support at the Moorpark center is
needed to fulfill the un -met needs of a growing number of clients.
Comparing the months of July to December in 1991 and 1990, the
agency's un- duplicated work load has increased by 19 %, (from 2,477
to 2,943 last fall).
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $10,000
TITLE: CHANNEL COUNTIES LEGAL SERVICES
Continuation of City support for legal staff to serve Moorpark
residents. This service is provided exclusively for low and very
low income persons once a week, and includes support related to
housing issues, citizenship and other common problem associated
with the poverty stricken residents, (procuring government
benefits). Last year, the agricultural crisis caused an unexpected
surge in the number of clients from Moorpark. Staff is multi-
lingual, and can offer support to a variety of cultural
backgrounds.
3
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $8,000
TITLE: ADULT LITERACY- VENTURA COUNTY LIBRARY SERVICES AGENCY
City support of the group coordinator for literacy services
performed in Moorpark via "one on one" tutoring. Originally, the
City sponsored the start up costs for this program including
reading materials and outreach, and now the agency asks only for
the support of the coordinator position. The coordinator works
with the tutors and clients and arranges meetings and teaching
schedules, (23 students currently enrolled). The program is
growing as fast as new tutors can be trained and on March 21, 1992,
training for tutors will occur in Moorpark. The County Library
Services Agency contributes $10,000 annually to the Adult Literacy
program.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (EXIST.) AMOUNT: $10,000
TITLE: MOORPARK SENIOR CITIZENS, INC.
The Moorpark Senior Citizens, Inc., are completing the grant
requirements associated with equipment purchases from last year,
and are re- submitting this year to expand this inventory. Last
year, the $1,987 provided for tables, cabinets and equipment that
facilitates fund raising activities. This year, in addition to
more general purpose equipment for the Center, they are requesting
support for the Executive Director. These items include a word
processor, desk and office chair.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $1,200
TITLE: MOORPARK SENIOR CITIZENS, INC.
This proposal is for the expansion of the janitorial services at
the Senior Center, to address the growing needs which have resulted
from the addition of more programs and activities. As stated in
the proposal, the seniors themselves are unable to keep up with the
cleaning of the facility, therefore the need to expand the services
of a janitor is being requested.
W
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $5,000
TITLE: ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION
The agency requests support from the City to expand the existing
program to include Moorpark. "Caregivers" coordinate support
groups for the family members of Alzheimer's disease victims, and
other victims of diseases that cause similar developmental
disorders. In providing support to family members, it can be
argued that this support helps the victim, (a senior), because CPR
and other first aide techniques are taught. This program existed
in Simi Valley two years ago, but eligibility is a question that
will need to be addressed by the City, as was the case in Simi
Valley. HUD may request that the income levels of the family
members create a majority of low or moderate income persons served,
not just the service to seniors /victims.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE.(NEW) AMOUNT: $3,000
TITLE: INTERFACE
The agency is requesting that the City consider supporting part of
many social services provided by Interface, including; Youth Crisis
Services, Cool Hone, domestic violence, Children's Resource Center,
battered women, and suicide prevention. No specific service is
outlined by the proposal, but support to any one of these services
would assist the agency in meeting these needs. This is a County-
wide program, which experienced a 22% increase in service requests
last year, 70% of which were low or moderate income.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $25,000
TITLE: AIDS CARE, (Director's Salary)
The funding request is for support for the Director of the agency,
and was not broken.down for each City, which meaps that a lessor
amount may be all that. is requested of Moorpark, ($5,750 was
identified as Camarillo's proportionate amount). This is the only
non - profit AIDS agency in the County, and projections demonstrate
that the needs of the program are just beginning. It is estimated
that within three years, the County needs for AIDS programs will be
ten times greater than the current load of 280 victims. The agency
hopes to be prepared for this surge. Eligibility is a question
because not all AIDS victims are of low or moderate income stature,
but apparently after having the disease for a period of time, the
victims do become dependant on government support. Eligibility
will have to be verified prior to obligating funds.
10
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $6,000
TITLE: BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF MOORPARK, (Vocational Training)
Continued support for the staff person that provides the vocational
education to teens is the request, considered by staff to be a
"new" program because one year of funding has lapsed since the City
last assisted with this program. Services include a three step
program; "vocational education," "vocational exploration," and "job
placement." In 1989, this program was presented to the City as
"start up costs" and this proposal is to meet expanding enrollment
and to increase outreach activities.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $25,000
TITLE: AIDS CARE, (Housing Assistance)
This program does not appear. to be eligible.for CDBG funds, because
it is presented to provide persons with cash assistance for
housing. CDBG cannot be used this way, and upon further
discussions with the Director, Reese Welsh, they will attempt to
procure HOME funds from the County for this purpose. The request
amount is a County -wide estimate, not specifically intended for
Moorpark.
TYPE: PUBLIC SERVICE (NEW) AMOUNT: $9,993.32
TITLE: VENTURA COUNTY COMMISSION ON HUMAN CONCERNS
This program is designed to provide persons with assistance that
helps them to avoid becoming homeless, (eligible CDBG activity
because the County considers it to be "homelessness prevention ").
This assistance is called "Lease Assistance Loan and Grant Fund"
which would be provided for Moorpark residents. The funding
request is'to provide approximately 12 $700.- loans, and $1,500 in
administrative costs. New support efforts _are being developed by
the agency in conjunction with the Lease Assistance program to
provide family guidance and counseling in order to help prevent re-
occurring needs of this type.
11
TYPE: HOUSING ASSISTANCE AMOUNT: $100,000
TITLE: NETWORKING FOR HOUSING
The amount requested is intended to target the entire County
jurisdiction, a portion of which could come from Moorpark. In
1987, the City provided a $5,000 grant to help the agency in
providing loans to developers for building new low income housing
units. It took almost five years for the agency to get a point
where loans are provided, but within the past six months, all of
the loan funds have been obligated. Currently, only agencies
within the Entitlement CDBG jurisdiction have supported the
program, yet the program serves all of Ventura County.
TYPE: HOUSING ASSISTANCE AMOUNT: $20,000
( "Weatherization ")
TITLE: VENTURA COUNTY COMMISSION ON HUMAN CONCERNS
To expand the services under CDBG guidelines to include minor
rehabilitation and "weatherization" to owner occupied homes. The
current standards for the program only apply to very low income
persons. "Weatherization" includes inspection of the house,
education to the home owner, and various improvements intended to
improve the climate inside the house during adverse weather
conditions. These modifications also save money for the homeowner
in heating fuel and related expenses. As proposed, 36 residents
would receive these improvements during a one year program. These
services are presented to serve the County -wide population.
TYPE: FACILITIES AMOUNT: $20,000
TITLE: ZOE CHRISTIAN CENTER
The agency is seeking assistance to develop a facility called a
"Human Resource Center" to meet the long and short term needs of
homeless and low income persons. Described as a "mini mall" of
social services, the agency hopes to provide a common ground for a
variety of service providers in the County. Staff hesitates to
recommend funding for this program, because the proposed site has
already been deemed ineligible by the County for the CDBG, based on
federal environmental provisions, (proposed to be next to the
existing ZOE housing shelter on Rose Avenue, which is next to a
fertilizer plant- uses for this property are not open to federal
funding).
12
TYPE: FACILITIES AMOUNT: $15,000
TITLE: ASSOCIATION FOR RETARDED CHILDREN, ( "ARC ")
Rehabilitation of a property currently leased by ARC from the
State, that can serve three mentally ill clients. The property
consists of 18 acres, and making these improvements may allow ARC
to further develop the rest of the land to accommodate from 75 to
100 persons. The property is also in between the Casa Pacifica and
the AHA /Mentally Ill housing projects, and the close proximity will
benefit users of the existing structure, but will require modified
sewer and water lines in order for it to remain useful. Included in
the proposal is the development foundations for future portable
facilities to accommodate additional clients.
TYPE: FACILITIES AMOUNT: $6,000
TITLE: INTERFACE
A new roof is needed at the McAvoy House, which is used by
Interface for treatment of abused children. The facility provides
safe dwellings for abused children, and to maintain the environment
is crucial for providing the security that victims of abuse
require. Each year, approximately 80 children rely on this
facility, without support from their families. CDBG is the only
funding being sought for this improvement, and the $6,000 amount
applies to all Entitlement jurisdictions, a portion of which may
come from Moorpark.

PROPOSAL COVER LETTER
Excerpt f rom the County of Ventura letter regarding the Fair Housing Committee
Fair Housing Follow -Up
-3- February 19, 1992
ThW decisions reached were as follows:
o Cities will continue to operate their housing counseling
contracts, independent of the fair housing mandate.
o Approximately $21,000 would be required to upgrade the current
Fair Housing Program. (Although the Committee arrived at this
by examining the current city allocations to housing counsel-
ing, this $21,000 is in line with HUD's recommendation that it
of an entitlement area's budget be devoted to fair housing
activities.)
o Based on a budget of $21,000 we would anticipate that, at a
minimum, the Area Housing Authority and /or other fair housing
provider would update the current brochures, increasing their
eye appeal and perhaps tailoring some brochures to specific
client groups. The AHA would continue to provide general
education and hold meetings and symposia with real estate,
banking and other industry organizations, as well as the
general public. Finally, they would work towards locating
and /or producing a video that could be used in public waiting
rooms, such as General Relief offices and AFDC offices. Once
the videos have been identified, in future years we could look
towards purchasing monitors to display them.
STAFF FOLLOW -UP TO FEBRUARY 5, 1992 MEETING
o Although there was some discussion at the meeting about how to
make these fair housing activities eligible as public service,
our subsequent research shows that this is problematic. CDBG
regulations 24 CFR 206(c) state that the provision of fair
housing services are administrative costs. Recent publica-
tions sent to our office have described other jurisdictions'
arguments with HUD over this issue; however, HUD continues to
classify the activity as administrative. Therefore, the
$21,000 budget must be taken from administration dollars. The
breakdown across jurisdictions is as follows:.

Mr. Donald P. Reynolds, Jr.

Moorpark, California 93021
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
Enclosed you will find an application from the Ventura County Homeless Coalition for
funding consideration by the City of Moorpark for the 1992 -93 Community
Development Block Grant program. We appreciate the opportunity to submit our
request and provide this cover letter and attachment.
To summarize, the total request from the City of Moorpark is $1,600 for the purpose of
funding a coordinator position for the Coalition. The Coalition is seeking support on a
prorata basis from all cities in the county as well as the County of Ventura to provide
funding for this project which has a total budget of $50,000. The Coalition will raise
$10,000 and is seeking the remaining $40,000 from CDBG funding this year, with the
intent of being capable with the staff position to augment its future budgets from other
sources. The Coalition's membership has more than doubled in the past two years to
include more than 40 member organizations. The focus of this association is to develop a
comprehensive plan regarding services for the homeless and participate in a cohesive
administration for communication and fund development among member agencies. With
the addition of a staff position, the Coalition will be in a posture to work in partnership
with government agencies, non- profit and volunteer organizations, and the business
sector to create a county -wide service plan add assist in the resolution of issues
regarding homelessness. All participating cities will have assistance from the
Coalition's coordinator in developing local housing plans and community services for the
homeless. New funding resources, reduction in duplicated efforts, and joint grant
projects such as the Shelter Plus Care Grant will be possible through a more effective
organization that can count on qualified staff assistance. It is our hope that the County of
Ventura and the entitlement cities will join together in a joint powers agreement to make
administration of this request practical for all concerned.

In terms of the requested financial materials, the Coalition does not have an audited
financial statement to attach to this request; however, the annual financial transaction
summar; for the period January 1, 1991 - January 1, 1992 is enclosed. The Coalition
will complete by -laws and establish official status as a non - profit corporation over the

Dear Mr. Reynolds,
Enclosed is our agency Project Proposal for the 1992 -93 CDBG year.
This proposal aims to retain the social worker, which has been
financed with 1991 - 92 CDBG funding from your community. The
Catholic Charities office in Moorpark is the only agency and food
pantry serving the needy in the community. With increasing
requests for assistance, (19 %) thus far this year, our professional
social work services are vital to sustain those most affected by
the struggling economy.
We sincerely hope you will favorably receive this request and we
look forward to answering questions at the March 18th City Council
Meeting.

Enclosed please find Channel Counties Legal Services Association (CCLSA) Is
application for $10,000 of 1992 -93 CDBG Entitlement Program funds.
CCLSA- proposes to use these funds to continue to assist with the staffing
of a legal unit that serves low - income persons in the City of Moorpark, in
conjunction with efforts to serve others in the unincorporated areas of the
county and those living in the cities of Camarillo, Port Hueneme and Santa Paula.
CCLSA is making separate requests to Oxnard, Thousand Oaks and Ventura. The
total cost of the legal unit with personnel and non - personnel expenditures is
$92,460, which includes the City of Moorpark's requested share.
CCLSA believes that its services, funded by the City of Moorpark last year
with CDBG funds, squarely meets the definition of eligibility for such funds.
CCLSA serves exclusively the low- income community. During 1991 CCLSA served
approximately 100 persons who are residents of the City of Moorpark.
.CCLSA's audit for 1991 will not be completed- until March 31, 1992.
Therefore,`the finalized audit of 1990 is enclosed herewith. Within the appendix
is CCLSA's financial eligibility criteria for clients. Other documents in the
Appendix pertain to CCLSA's non - profit status, 1991 case summary and funding
commitments from other funding sources.

Dear Members of the Council:
The Ventura County Library Services Agency is applying for $5,000 in 1992-
93 Community Development Block Grant funds to support continuation of the
_ Moorpark Literacy Program. This project was established by the Library's Reading
Program for Adults with $8,000 in 1990 -91 Community Block Grant funds and
continued with $5,000 in 1991 -92 CDBG funds.
By offering free one to one tutoring in English communication skills to
Moorpark residents, the Library is helping to provide: a more qualified workforce
for Moorpark, parents who are better able to read to their children and assist their
children with schoolwork; informed adults who can participate fully in Moorpark
community life; away for immigrants and minorities to increase their self - esteem by
learning how to communicate in English.
We anticipate being able to serve an additional fifty adults during 1992 -93.
Accordingto HUD guidelines, illiterate persons are presumed to be low to moderate
income persons. The Library-'s Reading Program for Adults has no age, ethnicity, or
income restrictions.
We look forward to sharing our enthusiasm for the Moorpark Literacy
Program at your March 18 Council Meeting.

Dear Don,
The Moorpark Senior Citizens, Inc. (MSCI) is submitting a Project
Proposal for .Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for
the Program Year 1992.
MSCI is requesting grant funds to purchase equipment for the
Senior Center to enhance social and recreational opportunities,
educational activities, and health promotion.
MSCI plans to purchase the equipment listed below:
1. Word Processor (typewriter) - to write bulletins,
correspondence, etc. to the membership.
2. Round tables and chairs - to provide more social-
ization and encourage group interchange.
3. Commercial dishwasher - to provide clean, sanitary
dishes for fund raising dinners and potlucks.
4. Desk and office chair - for front of Center so the
desk presently located there can be moved to the
office. It has a return which can accomodate a
Word Processor (typewriter).
5. Couches - to replace,the worn out couches in the
Center which older adults have so much difficulty
getting up from because the couches have become so
soft and sink almost to the floor.
We anticipate an increase in the use of the Moorpark Senior
Center in the future and the equipment we could purchase with

Dear Don,
The Moorpark Senior Citizens, Inc. (MSCI) is submitting a Project
Proposal for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for
.the Program Year 1992.
MSCI is requesting grant funds to provide once a week janitorial
service at the Moorpark Senior Center. Until about a year and a
half ago, the Center was cleaned by senior volunteers. However,
the work involved proved to be too strenuous for older adults.
After the addition of the kitchen, office and restrooms, it
became an impossible task for the volunteers.
Last year MSCI contracted with Amigo Janitorial Service to clean
on a once a month basis. The Center (especially the restrooms)
required more frequent attention, so the contract was changed to
twice a month service. At present, with increased activities and
more seniors using the facility, the Center needs cleaning
service on a once a week basis to keep the environment healthy
and sanitary.
We anticipate an increase in the: use of the Moorpark Senior
Center in the future and providing a clean, healthy, sanitary
atmosphere is important to all Moorpark Seniors.
We look forward to the approval of our application for CDBG funds
for the purpose stated above.

Dear Mr. Reynolds and Council Members,
The Ventura County Chapter of Alzheimer's Association is requesting funds from the
Community Development Block Grant project, to provide services for Caregivers o
Brain Impaired Adults. We are requesting $5,000 to expand our program to the
underserved caregivers of the City of Moorpark.
The expanded services will provide a monthly support group, educational programs
for those caregivers, families, and the public about brain impairments, how to
decrease caregiver depression, reduce stress related illnesses, coping skills,
resources for caregivers, and prventing pre - mature institutionalization of the
impaired adult.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative disease that attacks the brain
and results in impaired memory, thinking and behavior. Approximately 4 million
Americans are afflicted with Alzheimer's disease and it is the fourth leading
cause of death among adults, taking more than 100,000 lives annually. The fin-
ancing of care for Alzheimer's disease -- including costs of diagnosis, treat-
ment, nursing home care, informal care, and lost wages -- is estimated to be
more than $80 billion each year. These figures do not include the costs of
caring for the caregivers and their stress related illnesses that often are
associated with caregiving. Caregivers are considered the second victims of
Alzheimer's and related dementias.
Thank you for considering our grant request.

The Boys and Girls Club of Moorpark respectfully submits a
CDBG grant proposal in the amount of $6,000 for continuation
of the Vocational Training Program initiated in 1989.
This program proposes to provide vocational training, outreach
to the local business community, and job search assistance to
local high school students.
The program will offer several vital services to young people
within the Moorpark community while benefiting local businesses
by tapping into an, as yet, unused source of service.
The following services will be provided during the grant period:
• Vocational Education: teaching young people methods
of exploring and researching career choices, resume
preparation, interviewing skills, work ethics, and
professional conduct.
• Vocational Exploration: youth will be matched with a
mentor in the field they have chosen, allowing them the
opportunity to get first hand experience.
• Job Placement: contacts will be made with local businesses
to solicit positions to fill with youth who have been
participating in the program.
• Resume Preparation Class: a program will be presented
teaching students proper resume preparation for jobs
and college applications.
We believe this program will be of great benefit to the youth
of the city as well as to the business community. It promises
to provide long lasting benefits for young people who are so
much a part of the continuing growth and development of Moorpark.

RE: CDBG Application for Program Year 1992 -93
John Murphy Vice Chair
The Commission on Human Concerns is requesting $9,993.32
-- from the City of Moorpark to provide approximately twelve
loans and grants (averaging $700 each) for housing
assistance to homeless or at- risk -of becoming homeless
residents of Moorpark.
CHC has provided grants and loans for eviction prevention
and move -in costs throughout the County since 1986,
utilizing initial contributions from seven cities, the
County, Catholic Charities and United Way.
A grant from the City of Moorpark would quantifiably
increase the area and number of households CHC currently
serves. CHC is proposing to continue this program in
Ojai, Camarillo, Oxnard, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, and
the unincorporated areas of the County, expanding our
coverage to include the unrepresented CDBG entitlement
cities such as Fillmore, Moorpark, Port Hueneme and Santa
Paula. (Please refer to Lease Assistance Loan and Grant
Fund Financial Report of December 1991.)
CHC will also expand the program through the addition of
a Family Development /Case Management pilot component to
serve a minimum of five LALGF clients. In addition, CHC
will add an Education Outreach Worker to the program in
order to reach residents who are without transportation.
CHC also provides an 800 number to maintain broader
accessibility to information on its services and programs.

estimates that at any given time there are between 2,000

VENTURA COUNTY COMMISSION ON HUMAN CONCERNS
"The most salient characteristic of persons and families
who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, is
poverty." (CHAS 1991) Indices of poverty include: lack of
job skills /vocational training, being a single female
head of household, health, substance abuse, education,
learning disabilities, rental housing costs, a-5-fordable
housing availability, lack of employment oppo= --unities
(including entry level). Some reasons our clients facing
homelessness have given when requesting assistance have
included: crowded housing, SSI check delay, roommate
move -out (remaining family cannot afford the rent), sale
of the rental property, separation, divorce or desertion,
senior -only living facility, business failed, raised
rents, health, unemployment, substandard conditions,
limited income, mental illness, neighborhood environment,
and children not acceptable to landlord. Some parents
left their children with friends or family and lived
without housing until they could improve their
circumstances.- And some families stayed together, with
young children living in homeless conditions.
Individuals and families who have recently become
homeless "usually need continued support. Their
stability is often fragile financially and emotionally.
They are, in many cases, at a high risk for becoming
homeless again. They, like most people, need to feel
safe, worthwhile, productive and self- sufficient." They
"often need intervention and extensive case management in
many areas - mental, social, emotional and physical."
(CHAS 1991) For this reason, CHC will add a Family
Development component in a pilot project this year.
We hope that the City of Moorpark will approve this grant
request, and allow CHC to serve their residents through
the Lease Assistance Loan and Grant Fund. If there are
any questions regarding this application, please call me
at 805- 486 -4725 or 800 - 655 -6230.
