Per HUD guidelines, a maximum of fifteen percent (15 %) of the City's annual share may be allocated for public service programs. The maximum public service program funding available for FY 2006/2007 is estimated at $25,097.

Refer to the instructions and the 2005 Consolidated Plan, Describe your proposed project in the next box. According to the Executive Summary of the 2005 Consolidated Plan, "Moorpark had the largest percentage gain in population with a 37% increase since 1990." Moorpark's percentage of children ages 5 -14 and persons ages 35-44 are higher than any other area in the county. During 2004 -05, families comprised 86.2% of Moorpark Catholic Charities clients. Children make up 42% of the people Catholic Charities assists. Moorpark is growing rapidly and social services must keep pace. Although 33% of the County's population is Hispanic, 88% of Catholic Charities clients are Hispanic. 76% of _the Moorpark Community Service Center's households earn under $20,000 a year. According the Consolidated Plan approximately 9% of the County's population is living in poverty and at risk of becoming homeless. The clients that Catholic Charities serves in Moorpark are very vulnerable. Another indicator of the pervasive poverty that these families experience is the average number of visits to the Center -9 per year. Families are dependent on the Center for the basics - -food and clothing. At this time the Moorpark Community Service Center is accessible to clients and the public 18.5 hours a week. Although the staff person is on site at other times to complete case records, reports etc., the Moorpark community would be well served if the Center could be open more hours each week. The population growth in Moorpark should be paralleled with services designed to address not only subsistence income families but also emergency situations that any person of any income can experience. Catholic Charities would like to work with the City of Moorpark to anticipate and plan for emerging needs within the City. Proposed Project to Meet Community Needs: How will your agency use these grant monies to address the unmet community needs described above? In other words, what is your project? Refer to Attachment A and indicate which 2005 Consolidated Plan goal your project will address Food, clothing and secure housing are basic and ongoing needs of the people who come-to the Moorpark Community Service Center and Food Pantry. The staff and volunteers at the Center provided supplemental food, clothing, eviction prevention assistance, utility assistance, and a large holiday program. During the 2004 -05 fiscal year approximately $19,950 in financial assistance was made available to person and families in need. These activities fit in Goal 6 of the Community Development portion of the 3 -Year Strategic Plan. The grant monies will be used to continue the current services by providing an experienced, bilingual caseworker to assist the client address their problems and access a variety of community resources. In addition, this person organizes the programs, recruits and trains volunteers, coordinates donations, maintains statistics and client records. The Food Pantry is an ongoing and labor- intensive program sponsored by Catholic Charities. The residents of Moorpark, the school district, local clubs, organizations and churches generously supplement the resources of the FoodShare program. Volunteers work hard to sort, organize, 000009 pack and distribute the food. The caseworker supervises this endeavor.

Describe your proposed project in the next box. The need for social, recreational, health and education services to older adults is vital to preserving the quality of life for our elders. Older Americans present a high risk group for illness and injury, resulting in diminished quality of life and, in some cases, a shortened lifespan. Many age- related illness and injury risks can be reduced through access to no cost health and fitness education and programming which targets the needs of older adults. In addition to physical concerns, older adults can become isolated within their community as the result of the loss of a spouse or as friends relocate due to their own health concerns. Proposed Project to Meet Community Needs: How will your agency use these grant monies to address the unmet community needs described above? In other words, what is your project? Refer to Attachment A and indicate which 2005 Consolidated Plan goal your project will address. The Active Adult Center provides services within the community, focusing on older adults age 62 and up, by providing information and referral, health screenings and education, fitness programs, nutrition counseling, and recreational opportunities at no cost to the participant. In addition to providing educational and recreational benefits, the Active Adult Center is a Senior Nutrition lunch site, offers opportunities for social engagement and strives to foster community involvement. Moorpark Active Adult Center was established in 1981 to provide a needed meeting spot and source of services for area seniors. The Active Adult Center provides outreach to needy residents by acting as Food Share Brown Bag Program site, a Public Health Nurse Health Assessment site, United Way Utility Assistance site, an AARP Income Tax Filing Assistance site, a Homeowners and Renters Rebate Assistance site, and as a Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy site. Our proposed project will provided for partial Active Adult Center staffing, enabling the Moorpark Active Adult Center to continue offering programs that provide access to health and wellness activities for older adults, including strength- training class, chair exercise classes, line dance classes, tap dance classes, yoga, and tai chi. Staff will promote activities, provide room set -up, handle reservations and participant intake, and assist with referrals to other agencies and organizations on an as needed basis, Active Adult Center services are offered at no charge to senior citizens. Falls and broken bones are a leading cause of hospitalization and death for older adults. Regular activity such as weight training and low impact aerobics can safely help to offset age - related bone loss, decrease fracture risk and improve the quality of life. To reduce this risk factor, the Active Adult Center offers a variety of fitness programs, such as Building Better Balance, PACE classes, tai chi, yoga and strength - training which focus on balance improvement. Diseases of the heart and stroke rank as the leading killer of Latinos, according to the CDC /National Heart. Lung and Blood Institute and the American Heart Association, claiming the lives of almost 31 % of the nearly 104,000 Hispanic Americas who die each year. According to the 2000 Census, 28% of Moorpark's total population is Hispanic or Latino. Per the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), "Compared with non - Hispanic whites, Hispanics are less likely to engage in physical activity, more likely to be overweight or obese ... raising their risks of cardiovascular disease." The Moorpark Active Adult Center is activity engaged in outreach to the Hispanic community, promoting health and wellness programs in both English and Spanish. 0000.,2 PART I - APPLICATION CDBG, HOME & ESG FUNDING APPLICATION Project Proposal for Program Year 2006 -07 submitted to City of Moorvark (Jurisdiction) PART 1 -- General Information For Ofte Use Matrix Code Section -- General Project Information Summary Project Title Family Support Center -- Schools Program Brief Summary of the Project To provide a variety of therapeutic .services to assist with the (one sentence) social, behavioral, and environmental factors impacting Organization's websfte address Moorpark's at risk youth and their families.

Refer to the instructions and the 2005 Consolidated Plan. Describe your proposed project in the next box. Today's youth face diversified social, emotional, and economic barriers that hinder or prohibit successful development and social integration. Nationally, more than 1.5 million youth enter the juvenile justice system each year. Over 20,000 youth are incarcerated in the state of California. Locally, Ventura County law enforcement departments interact with close to 1,000 homeless, runaway, and abandoned youth each year (VC Consolidated Plan). These factors, coupled with illicit drug use among 47% of California's 1 I'h grade students, and minimal health care and supportive services, (California youth have the lowest rates of health service utilization of any age group), equate to an increased need of prevention and intervention services_ Our professional staff directly addresses the diversified social, emotional, and cognitive barriers that cripple these families. The long -term negative effect of not treating these unhealthy behaviors can be devastating, not just to the family, but to the community, state, and nation at large. Through early intervention we can greatly. reduce the risks facing these children and thus help build stronger family relationships and better communities. By also working with the parents, we can help break the cycle of violence and eliminate poor choices to reduce generational repetition.

Describe your proposed project in the next box. Goal #5 to provide services to area seniors; When the time comes that seniors cannot live at home any longer, they must make other living arrangements. And for many that is a long term care facility. Some of the most vulnerable and at risk seniors are those living in these long term care settings. In Moorpark 127 (includes 12x per year turnover in hospice) elderly persons live in 2 long term care facilities. 70% are female, the average age is 84; majority have varying degrees of dementia and most suffer from some form of chronic, debilitating illness or disease. Sixty percent of those in nursing homes have no family or friends who ever visit or look out for them. Because of their vulnerability and dependence on others to meet their needs, they are very high risk for abuse and neglect. They are also extremely fearful of retribution and are reluctant to speak up for themselves. Moorpark families needing help with placement in a long term care for themselves or a loved one depend on the ombudsman program for objective and knowledgeable assistance; (45 Moorpark families recd counseling and long term care education in 2005; Proposed Project to Meet Community Needs: How will your agency use these grant monies to address the unmet community needs described above? In other words, what is your project? Refer to Attachment A and indicate which 2005 Consolidated Plan goal your project will address. The long term care Ombudsman, many times, is the only voice for this population. Ombudsmen make. unscheduled and unannounced visits to all long term care facilities in Fillmore on a weekly/ monthly basis. Ombudsmen investigate complaints of abuse and neglect on behalf of the residents and work to resolve their issues and concerns. The ombudsmen strive to help the resident represent themselves by helping them understand they have the ability and power to resolve their issues. In the event the residents are not willing, or unable, or too fearful to represent themselves. The ombudsman, acting as their advocate, represents their express wish and advocates on their behalf to facility administrators and other facility staff. If the problem cannot be resolved at the lowest level with facility staff, or it is more serious in nature, it is reported to licensing agencies, law enforcement, Attorney General, for further investigation. It is feared that most issues of neglect and abuse could go unremedied or unheeded without the work of the ombudsman who is in the facilities on a regular basis to monitor and investigate and help resolve. Ombudsmen also provide training for direct caregivers to help improve care and reduce instances of abuse and neglect of residents. Ombudsmen also witness Advanced Health Care Directives and provide community education, counseling and support groups to families dealing with long term care Obiectives and Outcomes: Check one box in each table below that best reflects your project's objectives and outcomes.

In the Executive Summary of the 2005 Consolidated Plan under "Community Development and Public Services" it lists "Provide services to area seniors" as Goal tt5. The unmet community need for Moorpark is providing assistance to low- income terminally ill senior patients. At the present time, Loving Heart Hospice Foundation Is the only hospice non - profit providing bereavement counseling and financial aid to low- income hospice patients in Moorpark. Proposed Project to Meet Community Needs: How will your agency use these grant monies to address the unmet community needs described above? In other words, what is your project? Refer to Attachment A and indicate which 2005 Consolidated Plan goal your project will address. Our agency will hold two free -of- charge bereavement sessions a month at the Moorpark Active Adult Center. Sessions will be advertised to the community at large and the "no- charge" aspect will be emphasized to appeal to low- income attendees. A licensed spiritual counselor will lead and facilitate all sessions in a non- denominational /non- religious manner. The second part of our proposed project is to provide direct financial aid to a low- income resident of Moorpark in order to help someone that cannot afford hospice care because they are uninsured, under - insured or have exhausted their personal resources.

Describe your proposed project in the next box. The unmet community needs, which the Our Place Safe Haven Shelter and Multi- Services Center attempts to meet are the needs of Homeless Persons with Severe Mental Illness. According to the 2005 Consolidated Plan the Ventura County Behavioral Health Department estimates the number of homeless persons to be 3,300. The 2005 Consolidated Plan estimates that 30% of the homeless are mentally ill. Based on these numbers the number of mentally ill homeless would be 1,100. A Housing Gaps Analysis by VCBH in April 2000 concludes that "Ventura County must expand both outreach services to . the homeless, mentally ill and increase short-term shelter beds by at least 50. The 2005 Consolidated plan describes these individuals as a single person who has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Schizo - Affective Disorder, Bipolar Disorder or Major Depression and may also have a co- existing Substance Abuse Disorder. There are often multiple physical health problems that are exacerbated by a lack of adequate hygiene and nourishment. Many mentally ill or dually diagnosed homeless persons do not avail themselves of services or do not engage well with traditional mental health services due to untreated psychiatric symptoms, active substance abuse, histories of abusive behaviors, and repeated failure to comply with requirements of service providers. They are frequently incarcerated or hospitalized and are often victimized by others. Generally, mentally ill and dually diagnosed homeless persons have little to no income and are unable to work regularly because of the recurring symptoms of their mental illness. Additional barriers to obtaining work or entitlement benefits for these homeless individuals include lack of address, a telephone, or a place to shower and do laundry. General population homeless shelters do not address the unique needs of individuals who are homeless and mentally ill. Proposed Project to Meet Community Needs: How will your agency use these grant monies to address the unmet community needs described above? In other words, what is your project? Refer to Attachment A and indicate which 2005 Consolidated Plan goal your project will address. The Our Place Shelter addresses the 2005 Consolidated Plan goal of providing services to Homeless Individuals /Families, which assist homeless persons with housing and services. The Our Place Shelter is the only year round Homeless Shelter and Multi- Service Drop -In Center for persons who are mentally ill and homeless in Ventura County. Its 10 -bed shelter is located in Ventura. This program targets clients who require a level of supervision and support that cannot be provided by the motel voucher system. Our Place is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Staff provide outreach services throughout the County, case management, mental health and substance abuse counseling, and linkage to ongoing supportive services in employment, housing and education depending on the unique needs of each individual. Staff helps residents identify and overcome barriers that have contributed to their homelessness. Drop -in day services include hot meals, showers, laundry, phone /mail and weekly visits to the Public Health Homeless Health Clinic. Residents without existing mental health treatment will be referred to Ventura County Behavioral Health to be linked to the appropriate primary mental health treatment program. Residents Without income will be assisted with their applications for entitlement benefits or helped to obtain paid work. Residents who leave the shelter will be placed in appropriate housing in the community.

Describe your proposed project in the next box. Currently, the only social service agency in Moorpark is the Catholic Charities' Food Pantry, and the only medical facility in Moorpark is a County of Ventura clinic that is highly impacted. Therefore, the low income population of Moorpark must travel to Simi Valley or Ventura to obtain needed services. ' A community-wide survey completed by the Moorpark /Simi Valley Neighborhoods for Learning (NfL) in late 2001 identified as high priority need in the Moorpark community: the need for medical, mental health, and social services to be located in Moorpark; and the lack of adequate transportation to obtain services outside of Moorpark. These needs made up the majority of the Top 10 needs identified in the community of Moorpark. Focus groups conducted by the Moorpark/Simi Valley NfL further clarified that those Moorpark residents who do not have their own means of transportation, and must utilized public transportation to reach these services located outside of Moorpark, do not seek or obtain needed services until a crisis occurs. The Focus Groups further clarified that this is because it is so difficult, time consuming, and costly to utilize public transit. Another need in the Moorpark community is the need for low -cost facilities from which social and human service agencies may provide services for the residents of Moorpark. As an example, Catholic Charities has aided the low- income citizens of Moorpark with food pantry services, as well as hosting a few social services, for 25 years. They provide food distribution; utility, rent and eviction prevention assistance; dental stipends for first graders; an outreach service. to home bound frail seniors; and special holiday food and toy programs. Their permanent facility burned down five years ago, and they are currently housed at a temporary site. They have been searching for a permanent location for 5 years. To date no permanent solution has been found due to lack of facilities at an affordable cost. Other social service agencies have also expressed a desire to locate in Moorpark to provide better outreach to the residents of Moorpark; however, the lack of facilities, even market -rate facilities, has prevented this from happening. Building such a facility will enable these agencies to located in Moorpark and make their services more readily available to those in need. Proposed Project to Meet Community Needs: How will your agency use these grant monies to address the unmet community needs described above? In other words, what is your project? Refer to Attachment A and indicate which 2005 Consolidated Plan goal your project will address. The City of Moorpark plans to utilize these grant monies to continue architectural design and engineering for the Human Services Center site and buildings. The City has retained HMC Architects for the conceptual design of the project and will. enter into an agreement with HMC for the preparation of construction drawings and specifications for the complex. The Human Services Complex is to be located on a 2 acre site on the east side of Spring Road immediately south of the Union Pacific Railroad Right -of -way. The site has already been purchased with CDBG funds. Specific tenants have not yet been identified. The City plans to lease the property at very low rates ($1 /year) to human /social service /mental health agencies, so that they can afford to locate. in Moorpark. 000024 PART I - APPLICATION CDBG, HOME & ESG FUNDING APPLICATION Cavitai Protect Prowsal for Program Year 2006 -07 Submitted to CITY of MOORPARK (Jurisdiction) PART I -- General Information Fcw 01fte Use Matrix Code Section A -- General Project Information Summary Project Title Capital Request: Food Distribution Area Upgrade Brief Summary of the Project This is the upgrade of our Food Distribution Area in Warehouse 01 (one sentence) that will strengthen the delivery of food countywide including the Organization's website address City of Moorpark through a modernized system of food sorting, Person to Contact Regarding this display and storage for faster distribution.

Describe your proposed project in the next box. Food Share is upgrading its product distribution area to better distribute food to over 34,000 people per month in Ventura County —a number that grows each year — including thousands of Moorpark low- income residents. These residents include poor seniors at the local senior center who benefit from the Brown Bag program, hungry children who get food at Catholic Charities and local community centers and food-challenged families who access food pantries at local churches and through groups such as the Women's Fortnightly Group. A more modem system of food sorting, display and storage will allow more timely distribution and storage of food which will offer better support to maximize food product shelf life. Over three years ago, the Board of Directors embarked on planning for a major food bank/facilities upgrade --0ne that resulted in a second warehouse opening in 2004 that added over 13,000 sq feet. Due in part to CDBG funds last year, new pallet racking an packaging equipment was added_ Now both warehouses need better food sorting and storage equipment to proactively secure the hunger needs of low- income and poverty level Ventura County and Moorpark residents for years to come who suffer the pain of hunger and malnutrition from economic hardship. The second warehouse has been operating successfully for over a year, increasing the amount of food and number of meals we can serve. Food Share has also received a lot more fresh produce and food requiring refrigeration or freezing —we cannot afford to waste any of our precious donated food. By maximizing food product shelf life, we can feed more people with good food over a long period of time and be prepared to help when natural disasters strike or when donations lessen, such as what happened in the quarter following Hurricane Katrina, where many donations were sent to New Orleans and Texas. 000026 Proposed Project to Meet Community Needs, How will your agency use these grant monies to address the unmet community needs described above?

Describe your proposed project in the next box. WEV programs are rooted in the belief that the economic empowerment of women will result in a more equitable and just society. WEV assists primarily low -to- moderate income women in developing and growing their own businesses. Ventura County is home to 18,047 women -owned businesses and CA ranks the highest in Latina owned businesses (17 %) yet 32% of the population are Latinas. Each year, 2 out of 3 small businesses in the U.S. are started by women. These numbers indicate that there is a significant need for business training, yet there are no business development programs targeted specifically towards women and their needs. On average, 70% of WEV clients in Ventura County are low -to- moderate income, working poor and tend to be clustered in service and retail jobs earning less than $25,000 per year WEV services in Ventura County have provided a viable pathway to economic independence for women who are low -wage earners. In 2005, WEV serviced over 300 (6 from Moorpark) and enrolled 113 (2 from Moorpark) in Self Employment Training (SET) with 25% in Spanish language SET. Forty -one percent of all SET clients were Hispanic or Latino. WEV's programs help the City of Moorpark enhance their economic development goals by providing business assistance through technical assistance and job creation/retention in several communities. WEV's programs are not duplicated by programs such as EDC -VC or SBDC as these programs target retention and growth of existing businesses. WEV targets start -ups and the hardest -to -serve populations, including Spanish speaking. WEV provides a safe and supportive hands -on learning environment that helps women create networks and believe in themselves and in their ability to succeed. Proposed Project to Meet Community Needs: How will your agency use these grant monies to address the unmet community needs described above? In other words, what is your project? Refer to Attachment A and indicate which 2005 Consolidated Plan goal your project will address. WEV's programs and services will address the County's 2005 Consolidated Plan goal of "Community Development #3: "To enhance economic development by creating or retaining jobs to be filled by or made available to low and moderate - income persons. WEV proposes to create /retain 20 jobs countywide over a 3 -year period. WEV will do this by providing a minimum of seven (7) Self Employment Training (SET) programs per year in East and West County locations, including two (2) in Spanish. WEV also provides facilitated peer groups and an educational series for program graduates helping them progress towards goal achievement. The funds requested will support WEV's marketing outreach and program delivery for both English and Spanish clients and salaries for SET program coordinator, regional manager. Follow -up surveys indicate that on average each business launched by a WEV graduate creates 1.5 full-time equivalent jobs. WEV 2004/05 graduates created /retained over 30 jobs in professional, retail, food service and construction- rela(ed businesses. Self Employment Training is a 14- week, 56 -hour class covering four major components: 1) Self Assessment and Personal Skills Development (goal- setting, personal financial management); 2) Business Feasibility (costing, breakeven), 3) Business Management Skills: and 4) Business Planning.
