| 1 | 2022 | House | Alma Adams | Adams | Alma | A000370 | Democrat | NC | Commerce Justice Science | Cure Violence Charlotte Implementation | CURE VIOLENCE CHARLOTTE IMPLEMENTATION | General Scope. In 2019, more than 100 homicides occurred in Charlotte — an 80 percent increase over the previous year and the city's highest number of homicides since the early 1990s — and hospital emergency departments treated more than 4,000 Mecklenburg County residents for assault-related injuries. In response to the increase in violence, the City, Mecklenburg County and partners have adopted a new public health approach to prevent violent crime. The success of this project will rely on the selected community organizations and other stakeholders mobilizing community members against shootings and homicides. Program Overview: Violence Interruption is a unique, interdisciplinary, public health approach to violence prevention and an adaptation of the Cure Violence Model (CVM). The philosophy of CVM maintains that violence is a learned behavior that can be prevented using disease control methods. Violence Interruption works primarily with high-risk youth, aged 14 to 25, through regular individual interactions, conflict mediation, and community mobilization. Using proven public health techniques, the model focuses to prevent violence through a three-prong approach:Identification & Detection: Violence Interruption is a data-driven model. Through a combination of statistical information and street knowledge, staff identify where to concentrate efforts, focus resources, and intervene in violence. This data guides staff to communities most impacted by violence. It provides a picture of those individuals at the highest-risks for violence and shows staff how to intervene.Interruption, Intervention, & Risk Reduction: Violence Interruption staff intervene in crises, mediate disputes between individuals, and intercede in group disputes to prevent acts of violence. Staff are experienced and well-trained professionals from the communities they represent. These individuals must have credibility and strong reputations in the community. This is often due to having similar lived experience to the individuals they seek to work with… | 600 E. 4th Street , Charlotte, NC 28202, NC 28202 | 1000000 | |

This area of Charlotte has been named one of the city’s six Corridors of Opportunity and is deemed a “food desert” where residents have little to no access to quality fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, despite being an area with disproportionately high percentages of chronic disease, the residents of the West Boulevard Corridor have limited to no access to healthcare. Working alongside our neighbors and partners, the YMCA of Greater Charlotte is committed to break the cycle of poverty for marginalized communities by addressing food insecurity, increasing access to care and providing more opportunities for youth and teens. As an initial and critical step, the YMCA of Greater Charlotte is offering well-positioned land on West Boulevard to construct a healthcare clinic that will be a catalyst for establishing the first YMCA integrated Health Equity Campus in Charlotte at the Stratford Richardson YMCA. If awarded, taxpayer dollars would be utilized for the construction of the clinic that would be available to and accessible by all residents of the West Boulevard Corridor, not just YMCA members. Upon completing construction, the Y will collaborate with a healthcare partner to provide the medical services necessary to meet the critical health needs of the West Boulevard community by providing clinical care and health education resources. Our belief is that by providing residents of the West Boulevard Corridor with access to care, they will be able to live happier, healthier lives, and serve as one of the tools that ultimately helps to break the cycle of poverty. | 400 East Morehead Street, Charlotte, NC 28202 | 2657760 | |

Specifically addressing the skills gap through job training and employment services will have an economic impact through higher wages and increased job opportunities. Improving employment opportunities for residents who may utilize public support programs allows for reduced reliance on public assistance by program participants; closing the overall cycle as individuals begin to contribute back into taxpayer funded services. It will also reduce the ongoing workforce development gaps that exist between job seekers and employers, who continue to experience long term vacancies due to lack of qualified candidates. | 600 East 4th Street, Charlote, NC 28202 | 999803 | |

Latinos have also been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic physically, emotionally, and financially, further amplifying health disparities that already exist. The unemployment rate among US Latinos rose sharply due to the economic shutdown caused by the pandemic. According to research conducted at Camino, 77% of Latino immigrant households experienced a drop in household income, 64% had a member of their household lose a job, and 88% experienced financial stress directly related to the pandemic. This financial stress, combined with health concerns and social isolation, can lead to, or exacerbate existing mental health issues; 89% of Latino immigrants experienced stress related to COVID and 88% reported COVID-19 directly impacted their mood. Data from the Behavioral Health staff shows patients’ mental health has been affected by the pandemic as they worry about their finances, health, future, and fears of eviction. The COVID-19 pandemic further illustrates the relationship between financial security and mental health as poverty is a significant indicator of mental health issues. Latinos living below the poverty level are twice as likely to report psychological distress compared to Hispanics above twice the poverty level (USDHHS, 2017). If Latinos are falling deeper into poverty due to the pandemic, it is highly probable that more Latinos are developing mental health issues and, thus, in need of mental health services.Expanding Camino’s Behavioral Health program benefits not only the Latino immigrant population, but the local economy of Mecklenburg County. Many Latinos in Charlotte are essential workers vital to the operation of numerous services provided to the general population, including restaurants, cleaning services, and construction.

| 5 | 2022 | House | Alma Adams | Adams | Alma | A000370 | Democrat | NC | Labor HHS | C.W. Williams Community Health Center Facility Improvements | C.W. WILLIAMS COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS | As a Federally Qualified Community Health Center and safety net primary care provider, CWWCHC fills a unique and important role in reducing burdens on hospitals, providing continuing care for patients with chronic conditions, addressing growing demands for behavioral health services, and contributing to COVID-19 response efforts- including triaging patients and providing testing and vaccines services. In addition, CWWCHC provides a “one-stop-shop” model of care that integrates primary, preventive, educational, and support services in one convenient location, which helps to reduce barriers to care. For thousands of underserved patients who have not been well integrated into healthcare systems due to cultural, economic and/or geographic challenges, CWWCHC provides a patient-centered medical and dental home and serves to minimize unnecessary emergency department visits, while lowering incidences of chronic diseases that could be prevented if diagnosed in a timely manner. CWWCHC embraces human differences and believes that quality healthcare should be universally accessible. Each year, CWWCHC handles close to 30,000 patient encounters, representing nearly 13,000 unique patients. CWWCHC’s patients include the disabled, limited English proficiency residents, the homeless, the uninsured and underinsured, Medicaid, Medicare, and privately insured patients. According to recent statistics, 83% of CWWCHC’s patients live on incomes below 200% of the FPL, 75% are uninsured, and 14% are homeless. CWWCHC is a safe place for immigrants and is known for promoting an environment that welcomes cultural and language diversity and respect for all patients. By offering convenient access to comprehensive primary and prevention care in a family practice setting, CWWCHC helps to ensure the un/underinsured do not delay seeking care and face more serious health consequences which require costlier interventions.The proposed project is a good use of taxpayer funds, as it will reinforce CWWCHC’s ability to provide affordable, high quality, co… | 3333 Wilkinson Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28208 | 1125000 | |

| 7 | 2022 | House | Alma Adams | Adams | Alma | A000370 | Democrat | NC | Transportation, Housing and Urban Development | Hoke Townhomes Development | HOKE TOWNHOMES DEVELOPMENT | In Davidson, land values as well as the lack of available land make it difficult to incentive developers to partner on affordable housing projects. This project is an exception. The infill development, in the historic African-American West Davidson community, was originally slated to be entirely market-rate townhomes with a starting price point of at least $400,000. However, after much community input, the developer has agreed to partner with the town, the Davidson Housing Coalition, and the Davidson Community Foundation to carve out nearly 10 percent of the units as affordable rentals in the much needed 50-80% AMI range. These units will be 1900 square feet, a great size for families. By receiving federal funds, that will allow the town and partners to pursue other collaborations like this one as the community works together to increase the supply of affordable units in Davidson. | 216 South Main Street , Davidson, NC 28036 | 400000 | |

This initiative is targeted to address generations of food instability, and the complex interplay of dynamics of which food insecurity is only a symptom, such as community wealth, health equity and economic mobility. Food security is a public health issue that has risen to the fore in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, however for residents along Charlotte's West Blvd corridor, the pandemic has only exacerbated many facets of their lived reality in years prior. Support for the Three Sisters Market Food Cooperative is a great use of taxpayer funds in that these funds would be used to directly impact North Carolina taxpayers whom have long been under-resourced, under-employed and malnourished. | 2901 Romare Bearden Dr., Charlotte, NC 28208 | 750000 | |

The funding will specifically support the Center in providing equipment, teacher training, curricula development, computers and books.This project is a good use of taxpayer funds because the Space & Rocket Center provides a unique access point for STEM education opportunities for underserved and rural students in North Alabama, the state as a whole, and beyond. Student success beyond technology, but facilitated by the technology is the key function that the Center can provide with this project. It would provide access for students to guest speakers - leaders in the emerging space industry, not limited to commercial space launch activity. Emerging career paths such as engineering, healthcare, technology, and cyber that the Rocket Center offers could be modeled for students in rural and underserved areas. | 1 Tranquility Base, Huntsville, AL 35805 | 400000 | |

The pharmacy is located on the 2nd floor. There is inadequate patient care space and lack of full ADA access to services on-site.At the new clinic, services that would be provided include:- Increased access to primary and behavioral healthcare;- increased space to accommodate an additional primary care provider;- case management services;- a dedicated room to provide Telehealth Services to patients when primary or behavioral health care providers are not in the clinic;- ADA-compliant access to pharmacy services.The existing Nauvoo Center currently provides medical and behavioral care at approximately 3,600 visits each year and the Nauvoo pharmacy fills more than 2,500 prescriptions each month.This project is a good use of taxpayer funds because a new facility will be able to accommodate at least an additional 1,000-1,500 patient visits per year in this rural area with no other access to community health care within a 30 square mile radius. | 5947 Highway 269, Parrish, AL 35580 | 725000 | |

Approximately $225,000 of the requested $500,000 would be used for demolition activities. The City of Sheffield has already identified abandoned properties in Sheffield and has gone through the legal process to take possession of the properties for demolition. The City received a small CDBG grant for demolition, but it will only cover demolition of commercial buildings or public facilities, leaving many housing units which also need to be demolished. Sheffield Housing Authority is proposing to use this funding to demolish approximately ten housing units, leaving vacant property that can be used by SHA or Habitat for Humanity to build affordable housing. SHA will use approximately $275,000 of the requested $500,000 to purchase houses at tax sale or foreclosures that can be renovated and used as rental properties for Housing Choice Voucher holders. The number of such houses available for purchase and renovation varies greatly from time to time, so if the entire $275,000 cannot be obligated for this purpose by the end of FY22, any left-over funds will be directed toward demolition activities. This project is a good use of taxpayer funds because demolishing blighted structures in the City of Sheffield for the purpose of building affordable housing will directly benefit low-income persons; and the tax sales and foreclosed properties will be bought and renovated to be used by the Housing Choice Voucher program as rental property or for sale through the Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership program, to low-income families. | 505 North Columbia Ave., Sheffield, AL 35660 | 500000 | |

The opportunities for play as a young child are key to supporting cognitive, social and emotional skills and this happens in early learning environments such as schools, libraries and museums. According to a report by Ready Nation, the first five years are crucial as “much of the architecture of the brain is developed, which directly impacts the development of the social and emotional capabilities that support long-term success in school and the workforce.” As automation in the workforce is on the rise, the very traits that make humans in the workforce stand out from machines are a person’s ability to be creative, negotiate, and empathize with others. The Real Play Coalition posits, that focusing on developing these skills in children at an early age will provide them with the capacity to later succeed in the workforce and provide employers with skilled, adaptable employees. Since 2017 the Second Story and Beyond® has offered robotics, coding classes and large-scale events that are STEAM based and have space themes. As missions related to the Mars Exploration program create excitement among the public, themes based on NASA and space travel have become more relevant than ever. For the past six years the library has fostered excitement for these endeavors by featuring Solar System Ambassadors and the Planetary Society at annual library events. In October of 2019, the Second Story and Beyond® offered a literary themed program called Space Pirates that featured activities based on the books Stardust by Neil Gaiman and The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey. There were also displays about women in NASA such as computer scientist, Margaret Hamilton and families learned how to make sextants and why they continue to be used by astronauts for navigation.

Our EOC / Police Station is located at 1270 W Park, #C. The facility was originally built for a much smaller emergency management operation in 1988. The overall function of the EOC is a central command and control facility responsible for carrying out the principles of emergency preparedness and emergency management, or disaster management functions at a strategic level during an emergency and ensuring the continuity of operation of the city. In 2009, Redlands Police Department Operations and Support Services divisions were relocated to the city’s EOC. The EOC currently houses Records, Dispatch, Patrol, Watch Commanders, Volunteers, Community Policing Officers, Parking Control Officers and the K-9 unit. These increased 24/7 daily operational functions along with emergency management within our EOC have challenged us with insufficient workspace, older and outdated equipment, lack of storage areas, computer software and hardware needs, storage and overall inadequate facilities to meet our needs and ability to respond and mitigate emergency incidents. This project will provide the necessary funding to begin the fundamental improvements to support effective EOC operations and bring our EOC to an appropriate level to meet the needs of our growing community. | 850000 | |||||

(MMC) Realizing Educational and Career Hopes (REACH) Project | MARY'S MERCY CENTER, INC. (MMC) REALIZING EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER HOPES (REACH) PROJECT | There are an estimated 553,742 people in the United States experiencing homelessness on a given night, according to the most recent national point-in-time estimate (January 2017). This represents a rate of approximately 17 people experiencing homelessness per every 10,000 people in the general population. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, chronic homelessness refers to people who have chronic and complex health conditions including mental illnesses, substance use disorders, and medical conditions who experience long-term homelessness—and can be found sleeping on the street or in shelters. Without stable housing, they cycle in and out of emergency departments, inpatient hospital stays, psychiatric centers, detoxification programs, and jails, resulting in high public costs and poor health outcomes for individuals including premature death. A chronically homeless person costs the tax payer an average of $35,578 per year. Costs on average are reduced by 49.5% when they are placed in supportive housing. Supportive housing costs on average $12,800, making the net savings roughly $4,800 per year. Additionally, research supports the claim that when given the support, services, and opportunity, homeless individuals are more likely to engage in work. Despite undeniable barriers to employment—stigma, discrimination, disempowerment, and lack of hope added to physical, learning, psychological and substance abuse disabilities—effective use of resources can help overcome these factors. As individuals get the chance to access and use employment and training services, the more likely they are to achieve positive vocational outcomes. | 641 Roberds Ave, San Bernardino , CA 92411 | 300000 | |

Children’s Fund serves the whole county of San Bernardino. CA31 will benefit from this project by empowering Children’s Fund to respond quickly to children and their families in emergent crises that might otherwise overwhelm the available County resources for this region. This is an excellent use of taxpayer funds for three reasons: Fiscally responsible, sustainability, opportunity, and hope. Providing Children's Fund with the funding required to respond to emergency funding's growing needs stabilizes families. Stabilized families ultimately cost the entire community far less in the long run with less utilization of public funding, less drug & alcohol abuse-related treatment and hospitalizations, and fewer arrests and reduced recidivism. Also, there is improved academic success in children and healthieroutcomes with accessible nutrition.The sustainability of Children’s Fund preserves established relationships and allows accommodating growth to meet future needs of our community. Operational support secures Children’s Fund’s ability to maintain their trained staff at current levels, hire when needed, and not have to cut programs and services due to layoffs and furloughs, this further exacerbates the need for public support programs which are alreadystretched to their limits.Access without support is not an opportunity. Children's Fund has the reputation, partnerships, experience, and capacity to offer support through a wide range of conduits.

The funding helps to cover cost of the KVCR professional staff to mentor the students, taking what they learn in the classroom and provide practicum experience. Whatever they don’t learn in the classroom our staff will help to fill the gaps for the students’ learning experience. If the KVCR staff is available for the students it’s a stronger learning process for all the students that pass through our doors. Below is a breakdown of the potential number of students that may be impacted by this project. The students would not be selected by KVCR. The students from SBVC would be part of their lab hours or participation or volunteer hours. The other colleges would have to select the students from their program or interested interns in their departments. The students that participate either as crew, filmmakers, hosts, writers or producers will not forget their experience. Regardless if the student is taking a TV class as a onetime elective or the student who is committed to the Broadcast/Film field.

These improvements will assist struggling local businesses located within a disadvantaged community by creating an attractive, safe, and inviting downtown for local shopping, dining, and community services. Enhancing commerce in Historic Downtown Upland will benefit the community and make these local businesses sustainable and desirable. Upland’s land uses has limited commercial and industrial tax base; thus, providing the investment to achieve a strong growing local business economy in our downtown is essential for ensuring vital sale tax revenue is achieved to cover the essential community services like public safety, public works maintenance, senior services and literacy services, public recreational areas, etc. are maintained. These local government essential services are basic quality of life necessities.In addition to assisting struggling local businesses and local government in the Congressional District, the project will draw visitors from outside of the area via the Metrolink Railway and other transit systems to explore Downtown Upland and spend money in this western part of the Congressional District and San Bernardino County. These improvements will elevate commerce in a disadvantaged community within the Congressional District and assist in local job growth through an increased level of interest in local commercial services. | 1000000 | |||||

About 1/3 of of the city's residents live below the federal poverty level, high school graduation rates are 82.1%, just below the state average; the median household income is $43,136, and the homeownership rate is 47%, lower than the national average of 63.9%. A Habitat home addresses all of these issues, creating safe homes and improving economic disparity and equity issues that have plagued the City for years.According to the CA Dept of Veterans Affairs, there are over 100,000 Veterans in San Bernardino County. The 31st District is home to many of these veteran families, however, any Veteran who lives or works in San Bernardino County would be eligible to apply for one of these homes. The City of San Bernardino has an aging housing stock and a great need for new construction of single family homes, and not just multi-family housing. This project will solve an long-standing issue of blight on this property sight that has been ignored over the years, other than when the County notifies us that weed abatement is needed on the lots. Habitat Homeowners are are required to provide "sweat equity" to help build their homes. This gives them a sense of pride in ownership and accomplishment that takes root and grows in the neighborhoods in which they are located. Habitat families report other benefits to their homeownership: 35% see improvement in their children's school attendance, participation and grades. 68% report an improvement in their finances. | 800000 | |||||

Human traffick ing efforts by stakeholders, including the government, law enforcement, service providers, lawyers, nonprofit agencies, and research groups, call for reliable data collection and analysis. Each partnership of stakeholders is constructed to include the expertise of the group, but rarely allows for the inclusion of outside expertise. The SMU Human Trafficking Project proposes to directly address the deficiencies in data collection and analysis and in collaboration of expertise needed to effectively fight human trafficking in Texas. We will do this through compilation of the anti-trafficking stakeholders’ data and research needs, the collection of human trafficking lit erature and data, the use of human computation gaming, machine learning, and visualization of human trafficking data in Texas, the dissemination of human trafficking data and research by expert research teams, and the consultation to stakeholders involved in anti-human trafficking work SMU’s unique collaborative setting allows economics, information technology, gaming, public policy, law, edu cation, theology, and other disciplines to come together to solve world problems. SMU contains vast resources, such the expertise of SMU Guildhall, the top computer gaming school, the super computer ManeFrame, SMU’s research centers, departments, and libraries, an interdisciplinary research group, and a law school. We propose to invest in building expertise to drive policy and practice. This will be done through providing funding for post doctoral research within the applicable disciplines. This approach broadens the opportunities for students to use their disciplinary knowledge gained at SMU to conduct human trafficking research. | 6425 Boaz Lane, Dallas, TX 75205 | 1187000 | |

Pediatric mental health issues are negatively affecting as many as 600,000 of the two million children across North Texas today including 175,000 children in Dallas County alone. Funding for a new Pediatric Mental Health Innovation Center would be a timely and beneficial response to the growing pediatric mental health crisis occurring in Texas. Mental Health America recently ranked Texas last among the 50 states and Washington, D.C., for youth access to mental health care. According to its 2019 report, “The State of Mental Health in America,” 71.3% of youth in Texas with major depression go untreated, compared with the national average of 61.5%. Current community behavioral and mental health resources are already stretched thin in North Texas and unable to accommodate the overwhelming need, which has only worsened since the onset. The American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry reports that there are close to 15 million U.S. children who need mental health services, while there are only about 8,300 child and adolescent psychiatrists nationwide. Pediatric mental health issues lead to a cascade of short-term and long-term challenges for patients.

Furthermore, LGBTQ seniors have an increased risk of social isolation, depression, suicide, and an array of other specific health concerns. These risks are compounded by variables such as severance from family of origin and the detrimental physical, emotional, and fiscal effects of long-term discrimination. Lastly, the population of LGBTQ seniors is on the rise in metropolitan areas, and with a lack of affirming and affordable housing in Dallas, elder LGBTQ adults are an increasingly vulnerable population.To meet the growing demand for care and services for the aging LGBTQ population in the Dallas community, Resource Center (the Center) proposes a $4 million capital campaign for the construction of an LGBTQ-friendly affordable senior housing facility. The Center, which serves more people than any other LGBTQ organization in North Texas, has partnered with a housing developer in order to construct the facility in the predominantly LGBTQ Oak Lawn neighborhood of Dallas. Like the rest of the country, North Texas is on the precipice of the largest growth in its aging population in history. With this surge, comes an increased need for affordable LGBTQ-friendly housing communities. The Center fully expects the affordable LGBTQ-friendly housing development to bridge the gap between affordable housing and low-moderate income LGBTQ elders and elders of color: the Center estimates the demographic profile of LGBTQ-friendly senior housing residents will be 36% Caucasian, 33% African-American, 28% Hispanic/Latinx, and 3% Multi-racial; 70% will have household incomes less than 100% of the Federal Poverty Level, and 30% less than 200%.

The dam structure is an approximately 6,700 feet long earthen embankment dam with a maximum height of 48 feet and a storage capacity of 1.5 billion gallons. Based upon the age, size of the dam, the volume of water impounded and the level of downstream development the dam is considered a large size, High Hazard structure in accordance with current state dam safety regulations. The Somerset Water Department maintains and Emergency Action Plan that identifies 402 structures (mostly residential) and 887 individuals within the inundation zones. The inundation zone also contains a major state highway.Failure of the dam would be catastrophic; causing fatalities, damage to over 400 structures, loss of the drinking water to over 18,000 residents, destruction of the Water Department treatment facility and its chemical storage, and damage to major roads. Collapse, erosion, and overtopping of the dam would result in loss of life, significant damage to residential and commercial structures and infrastructure, and the loss of the impoundment serving as the Town’s primary water supply. Furthermore, for even smaller storm events that do not overtop the dam, the inadequate spillway could lead to saturation of the toe and erosion of the embankment that would lead to destabilization, and possible failure of the dam.In 2010, two significant storms effecting southeastern Massachusetts on March 13-15 produced 5.7” of rain and March 22-23 produced 2.6” of rain according to data from the National Weather Service.

The Town has also worked cooperatively with its surrounding towns and the Commonwealth to foster tourism in the area and attract more visitors. However, the water infrastructure is inadequate to handle the anticipated and much needed growth. The current and future water demand exceeds supply and is stressing the treatment capacity. While the Town has spent millions over the last few years upgrading the town’s infrastructure, much more is needed to position the town and region for additional development.The existing water system is currently over capacity.

As noted earlier, the funds will support our Capital Campaign to build a new domestic violence shelter. By expanding capacity, we can support approximately 20 additional families per year. (Last year our Attleboro shelter served 17 families via 6 bedrooms.) These are families that would otherwise either become homeless and/or stay in dangerous situations where they will suffer increased physical and mental harm and possibly become a homicide victim. According to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (55(4): 433-444), lifetime cost of intimate partner violence in was $103,767 per female victim and $23,414 per male victim, or a population economic burden of nearly $3.6 trillion (2014 US$) over victims’ lifetimes, based on 43 million U.S. adults with victimization history. This estimate included $2.1 trillion (59% of total) in medical costs, $1.3 trillion (37%) in lost productivity among victims and perpetrators, $73 billion (2%) in criminal justice activities, and $62 billion (2%) in other costs, including victim property loss or damage. Government sources pay an estimated $1.3 trillion (37%) of the lifetime economic burden. While our work with families in shelter is not primary prevention, we know that our program provides supports for families to heal and to form healthy relationships. As a result, survivors are more likely to become productive members of society and their children are more likely to stay in school. We know that our work provides a solid base to help break the cycle of violence within families. In particular our trauma work with children in shelter can create positive outcomes over time, both for the family and in terms of economic costs to society. Results from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study show that early childhood trauma has impacts across the lifespan. According to the Center for Disease Control, “ACEs can have lasting, negative effects on health, well-being, as well as l… | 247 Maple Street, Attleboro, MA 02703 | 2000000 | |

The Mount Ayr Elementary School offers a before/after/summer program for school-aged children. The Ringgold County Child Care Center will provide daycare services for children ages 0-3, and some younger 4-year olds not ready for the school’s preschool program, opening 30 additional slots for this age group. The decision to serve this age group was driven by the fact that this age group is seen as the highest need age group for daycare services for area families. The Center’s emphasis on 3-4-year-old children who are not yet ready for pre-K or Kindergarten classroom settings will greatly assist in their educational development. Ideally, this programming can help young children prepare for education, resulting in less special assistance or learning assistance, which will save taxpayer dollars throughout their K-12 education. The Center will add 30 needed childcare slots in one of Iowa’s smallest and most rural counties, addressing the severe shortage of childcare facilities in southwest Iowa. This will not only ensure parents have more access to childcare in order to return to work post-pandemic, but create jobs within the community which will reduce unemployment assistance. According to a report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation that was released in early 2020, the Iowa economy loses nearly $1 billion every year due to childcare issues. Iowa has one of the largest labor force participation rates in the nation, but the lack of access to affordable childcare costs the economy $935 million annually from lost tax revenue and employee absences. Increasing investments into childcare will have an immediate impact on increasing tax revenue, lowering unemployment, and boosting Iowa’s economy. | Ringgold County Child Care Center, 302 N.

Van Meter Public Safety employs 15 full-time, part-time, and paid-on-call staff serving three divisions (Police, Fire, and EMS). When allowable, these personnel are cross trained to serve the roles of firefighter, emergency medic, and/or police officer due to lack of space, lack of population, and budget constraints. Taxpayer dollars would be best utilized to pay fully trained professionals within fire, police, and EMS. Currently, Van Meter Public Safety services over 25,000 residents, two major highways, and two major waterways. They operate within an 81-square mile service area including the City of Van Meter and townships of Van Meter, Lee, Boone, and Jefferson, which are all small rural counties and towns. This covers approximately 30,000 people. The current population demands already exceed available services, and taxpayer dollars would be wisely used to increase public safety to keep up with growth. EMS as Advanced Life Support (ALS) service is not readily available to the community. A new facility would allow for the housing of ALS-certified staff, making Advanced Life Support immediately available, as well as provide 24/7 community policing supported by two full-time, two part-time, and four reserve officers. The current building has 340 square feet of office and meeting space for the operation of three divisions of public safety - with no security or privacy for police operations. It has a total of 14 vehicles with room to only house six indoors or on City-owned properties. The six units are housed in an old facility that is cramped and deteriorating. The remaining units, including water rescue boats and fast attack fire units, are housed in donated space that is also old and rotting.

According to a report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation that was released in early 2020, the Iowa economy loses nearly $1 billion every year due to childcare issues. Iowa has one of the largest labor force participation rates in the nation, but the lack of access to affordable childcare costs the economy $935 million annually from lost tax revenue and employee absences. An investment of $1 million into our childcare center would double or triple that investment into Iowa’s local economy. Founded in 2005, the Stanton Child Resource Center is located in Montgomery County, and is one of only four licensed childcare facilities in the county, which has a population of 9,917 (2019 U.S. Census estimate). In addition to providing childcare for families in Stanton and other Montgomery County communities such as Red Oak, Villisca, and Elliott, they also provide childcare for children in the surrounding counties of Cass, Mills, and Page. The Stanton Child Resource Center, however, is the only five-star-rated childcare facility in the area they serve, a rating they have maintained since 2016. Stanton’s existing child resource center has a capacity of 80 children. Taxpayer money should be invested in quality childcare For the last five years, the Stanton Child Resource Center has been filled at capacity, with a waitlist of between 25 and 60 children at any given time. Expanding the childcare facility to serve an additional 49 children – for a total of 129 children – will allow SCRC to serve more children, which in turn will help more working families in the region. Stanton launched a fundraising campaign in December 2020 to raise funds to construct a larger childcare facility. Building a larger childcare facility is expected to cost over $2.6 million. Since launching the fundraising campaign in December, they have already raised over $250,000. The SCRC was recently awarded $59,938 in grant funds from the Childcare Challenge Grant.

An investment of the requested $600,000 could prevent millions in taxpayer dollars from having to be spent in the future.A taxpayer-funded investment into upgrading water infrastructure will ensure Iowa’s agricultural production, rural communities, aging, and vulnerable populations continue to have clean, safe drinking water. It would take Creston Waterworks several years to save for the anticipated total project cost. It is an anticipated that current water infrastructure could not last an additional two decades that it would take to save this money via user fees and taxes. This request for Water Treatment Plant Upgrade and 12 Mile intake project (FS-88-21-DWSRF-006) is on the Iowa SRF IUP Project Priority List for a cost of $1,536,000. Creston Waterworks received an environmental clearance from SRF, and one construction permit has been issued. Creston Waterworks signed a Planning & Design loan for this project for $160,000 on 9/25/2020 and was also awarded $600,000 from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for this project in the first quarter of FY 2021 (see attachments). Additional financing will include the State Revolving Fund loans and local funding as available. A general 4.4% rate increase was adopted in July 2020. An estimated 7% to 8% rate increase is anticipated to be required after Fiscal Year 2021 to compensate for expected lost revenue. After that time an anticipated planned rate increase of approximately 3% per year is expected to maintain parity with water production costs. The 3% annual rate increase requirement would not include any large capital projects.

CPF is requested due to the significant funding gap posed by having to run sewer line through Camp Dodge, which lacks directs users and creates realignment expenses due to sensitive environmental issues.First, the project will allow for septic system-based development in this area to be discontinued. Septic systems that are old or ineffective risk polluting nearby waterways. Near Johnston, Beaver Creek is currently listed on the Iowa Department of Natural Resources impaired waters list for high levels of E Coli bacteria. Discontinuing use of these systems may confer environmental benefits.Second, the project will lead to economic benefits and opportunities for expansion in rapidly growing Johnston. 51 direct jobs will be created by this project, based on information from the Association of Builders and Contractors. This is particularly valuable in the context of the housing shortage crisis, particularly for those looking for workforce and first-time homebuyers, in the Des Moines metro area. A recent Iowa Finance Authority study found the state needs 47,000 new homes in the next decade to accommodate population growth (see https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2021/02/02/iowa-governor-kim-reynolds-wants-spend-more-fix-affordable-housing/4259300001/). This project will allow for 300 to 400 acres of new commercial and/or industrial development, including 7,500 new residential units, support an anticipated $2 billion in assessed value with the addition of $1.2 billion in combined residential and commercial taxable valuation.

(PHC) is requesting the total amount of $100,000 to purchase new dental operatory equipment at the Bery Engebretsen Dental Clinic located at 2353 SE 14th Street, Des Moines, Iowa. The Bery Engebretsen Dental Clinic is 14 years old and outdated, with original finishes and equipment. The purpose of this project to increase the capacity of the Bery Engebretsen Dental Clinic to see more low-income patients. Prior to the onset of COVID-19, the clinic saw 3,867 patients for a total of 8,282 visits in 2019. PHC patients have barriers to care; 36% of its patients are uninsured, another 36% are on Medicaid, and 7% are on Medicare – 19% have private insurance. Of all patients served by PHC, 93% live at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL).There is a lack of provider access for low-income individuals in Polk County. PHC is the only dental provider in Polk County, Iowa that offers a sliding fee scale and one of the few providers who accepts patients on Medicaid. Without access to dental care, patients may visit emergency rooms that are not equipped with dentists or dental trained staff. In 2010, there were 18,444 visits made to emergency departments (EDs) in Iowa for dental conditions excluding craniofacial trauma (ICD codes 520-529). Approximately 21% of visits nationally were by individuals lacking any form of health insurance, and such visits have been increasing each year.A study conducted in Iowa looked at dental care after emergency room visits for adults with Medicaid. The study concluded that if the patient had visited the dentist prior to the emergency room visit, they were more likely to return to their dentist for subsequent visits. However, if the emergency room was the only access for dental issues, they were more likely to live with unresolved dental problems. In 2009, 270 ED visits in Iowa for dental conditions resulted in a hospital admission with average admission charges of over $15,000 each.

Iowa ranks at or near the top of the list for structurally deficient bridges, according to recent data from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (see https://artbabridgereport.org/state/profile/IA). Iowa leads the nation in overall number of structurally deficient bridges with 4,571 – the next closest state is Pennsylvania with 3,353 such bridges – and is second in the nation with 19.1% of bridges classified as structurally deficient. Each day, Iowans make 1,236,083 crossings over these bridges – which presents a risk to public safety in the event of an accident.In Congresswoman Axne’s district, Iowans make 209,112 daily crossings over the 1,006 bridges in the district that are estimated as structurally deficient. That amounts to 23.7% of bridges in the district. Furthermore, 2,767 bridges in the district need repairs, and the proposed work for over 50% of those bridges is a full replacement. Regarding the current bridge over the North River on County Highway R57, a 2019 inspection and appraisal found the structural evaluation to be “sublegal” and noted issues such as concrete deterioration and delamination as well as corrosion. A copy of the appraisal is available for committee upon request. Additionally, the bridge is classified as narrow and presents traffic risks – particularly given that the bridge is used by larger agricultural equipment. According to the Iowa Crash Analysis Tool, there were 8 total crashes on the bridge from 2018 to 2020; 1 suspected serious injury crash, 1 suspected minor injury crash, and 6 property damage info. Of these crashes, there was 1 head-on collision, 1 broadside, and 1 sideswipe. A copy of the analysis is available for committee upon request.

Currently, the property is owned by the City and is vacant, which generates less than $1,000 in taxes (one home will need to be acquired.) An investment of $900,000 in taxpayer funds will have a 40x return on investment, annually. Additionally, building affordable housing will reduce the number of renters who are cost burned or severely cost burdened within the City, which could also reduce the need for federal, state, and local assistance programs. Iowa received approximately $8 million per year for affordable housing tax credits to attract developers. The State returns any unspent funding to the federal government and has returned millions of dollars when these tax credits were not enough to incentives affordable development over the previous years. The taxpayer savings Iowa has provided by returning this money more than pays for the funding request of less than a million. | 209 Pearl Street, Council Bluffs, IA 51503 | 904336 | |

The proposed roundabout will eliminate left-turn crashes, reduce angle crashes, and reduce the severity of crashes due to the lower approach speeds and change in angle due to the roundabout geometrics. This project meets the Franklin County Engineer’s Office “Vision Zero” concept of preventing serious and fatal crashes before they happen. If this funding is awarded, the Engineer’s Office would be able to complete the project in fiscal year 2022. This is a responsible use of taxpayer funding because the roundabout will improve overall pedestrian and vehicle safety. | 970 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 | 1500000 | |

The property will provide a temporary home, as well as case management, mental health access, trained adult mentorship, job readiness classes, college application assistance, and general navigation for the young adults as they prepare to enter the workforce or pursue higher education. This housing facility is primarily focused on young adults transitioning out of foster care and need stable transitional housing. This is a responsible use of taxpayer funding because it gives at-risk young adults much-needed resources and housing so they can begin their path to long-term success. The United Way of Delaware County has identified several possible locations with facilities that will need modest renovations and upgrades to properly provide housing for these young adults as they transition out of the foster care system. United Way of Delaware County, Inc. is a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Delaware County, Ohio. This organization has over 40 community partner agencies and works frequently with local school districts and the Family and Community Service of Delaware County. | 8999 Gemini Parkway , Delaware , OH 43240 | 750000 | |

The current energy systems are extremely outdated, making it difficult to adequately control heating and air conditioning. This has led to uncomfortable living conditions in the summer and winter for the residents. The Avondale Youth Center is operated by the Muskingum County Children Services Board and is licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Established in 1911, the Center is a co-ed, residential therapeutic center with a 22-bed capacity and provides a comprehensive therapeutic intervention program and safe home to children who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. The Center provides housing for Muskingum County children between the ages of 10 and 18. This is a responsible use of taxpayer funding as the project will ensure these children and adolescents have a quality, safe, and comfortable home they deserve. | 205 North 7th Street, Zanesville, OH 43701 | 450000 | |

With the proposed project, every building in the Menifee County School District will be equipped with a state of the art card access system. Each external door will have a card access monitor that will permit entry into the buildings. This will monitor who entered the building and what time they entered the building. If at any time there is a threat or concern, designated employees can disengage some or all cards. The Kentucky State Police and the Menifee County Sheriff’s Department will also have control cards. In the event of an emergency, these cards along with school district administrators, will be the only cards activated. The School District’s and Sheriff’s Office’s second concern with security is the lack of up-to-date security cameras. As the budget has allowed, Menifee County has placed cameras in high traffic and isolated areas. The County still needs more in areas that suffer theft and vandalism. Botts Elementary School is located in the most rural part of the community. They have suffered the most theft and vandalism. While cameras have been beneficial in some cases, they have not always caught the information needed for law enforcement. At Menifee Elementary, there are no cameras on the front or east side of the building. This is main entrance of the building and has presented issues in the past. Currently, the County has a mix of analog, co-ax and IP cameras. With this funding, the County will have IP cameras surrounding all of our buildings, lining our hallways and all high traffic and isolated areas.The Menifee Count School District takes school safety very seriously.

Overflows are unhealthy for the Lawrenceburg community, bad for tourism and threatens the drinking water supply. The purpose of this request is to make vital repairs to Lawrenceburg’s sewer system to eliminate overflows and to extend sewer service to neighborhoods with small lots that have failing septic systems. The sanitary sewer overflows and failing septic systems are contaminating groundwater and surface water causing serious water quality problems and threaten drinking water supplies. This is destructive to public and private property, bad for recreation and tourism and hard on sanitary sewer equipment.This project will include approximately 30,000 feet of low pressure force main to serve approximately 220 homes with aging septic systems. Many of these septic systems have failed and they are in desperate need for sewer service. As these septic systems fail, residents will be required to connect to the sewer line. Also included in this project is approximately 3,000 feet of 24” gravity sewer truck line that will alleviate inundated sewers which will eliminate several sewer overflows. This project will have a significant impact on the environment with cleaner water and less exposure to the harmful organisms in the sewer overflows. | 100 North Main Street, Lawrenceburg, KY 40342 | 750000 | |

This project will eliminate six (6) existing package WWTP’s and direct all wastewater to a centralized pump station that will then convey sewage to the City of Frankfort for treatment. The District took ownership of existing package plants in 2016 and 2017 and is making every effort to keep these plants operational and compliant, but the facilities are all over thirty-five years old and were generally inadequately maintained by the previous owners. With the successful completion of this project, the area will be relieved of multiple, independent and sometimes unsafe and unreliable sewer treatment systems. Phase II will include extension of the system to the 127 Corridor for an area which is currently unserved and will be a key industrial and residential development area which is badly needed in Franklin County.The residents of the Farmdale Sanitation District area are currently polluting the groundwater and streams in the area, through no fault of their own. This project will create a centralized transmission system that will result in sewage being conveyed to the City of Frankfort for treatment. The project will eliminate six obsolete and failing package plants and provide a framework to include all remaining package plants and ineffective private septic systems in the future, as well as the ability to extend sewer services down the 127 Corridor, an area currently unserved, which is badly needed for industrial and residential development.The Farmdale Sanitation District is located in southern Franklin County. It includes all areas south of I-64, north of the Anderson County line and west of the Kentucky River that are not currently being served by the City of Frankfort Sewer Department.

The need for individuals capable of securing networks against attackers has never been greater. However, education and training institutions in the United States have found it difficult to keep pace with the growing need for cyber talent.Workforce shortages exist for almost every position within cybersecurity. There is a desperate shortage of people who can design secure systems, write safe computer code, and create the tools needed to prevent, detect, mitigate, and reconstitute from damage due to system failures and malicious acts. Innovative organizations are realizing that they need to tap into new talent pools of minorities and women that have historically been overlooked.That talent and diversity gap in the cybersecurity sector is evident in the Frankfort/Franklin County region. The Kentucky Capital Development Corporation, the quasi-governmental economic development arm of the City of Frankfort and Franklin County, is partnering with historically-black Kentucky State University to develop a certification program that will provide cybersecurity/IT education to regional residents.Working with training provider Interapt, a Louisville-based software and digital workforce development company, the project team will offer instructional programming designed to develop technical, business, and workforce readiness skills to address the talent and diversity gap in software and technology-related industries across Bluegrass Kentucky.The skills needed to enter the cybersecurity and IT industry are not dependent on higher levels of education.

Though the Post Clinic successfully served the needs of the public from the two locations for 22 years, in 2018, the Post Clinic relocated to a larger building donated to the Clinic from a local family with long-standing ties to the medical community. The Post Clinic currently uses the building to house both medical and dental services. With the additional space, the Post Clinic has the room needed to serve additional patients, extend their services, and allow more volunteers to assist with the services offered by the Post Clinic. The building, however, is nearing sixty years of age, and a lot of the components, such as the windows and plumbing, are original to the structure. Due to its various aging and deteriorating components and lack of ADA accessibility, the cost of rehabilitating the existing building is estimated to be nearly as much as constructing a new facility. Therefore, the decision was made to seek funding to construct a new facility for the Post Clinic; a 2020 feasibility study affirmed that this decision would provide the most economic benefit.The City of Mount Sterling is partnering with the Post Clinic to seek funding to construct a new facility to provide free primary health and dental care to low-income patients annually who are unemployed or under-employed, and to the unserved and under-served residents of Montgomery, Bath, and other surrounding counties. The proposed new facility will be approximately 3,732 square feet and will be located adjacent to the existing Post Clinic building at 15 Sterling Avenue in Mount Sterling where a parking lot is currently (Latitude: 38.062077, Longitude: -83.947085).The new building will be a single story with a brick veneer exterior, a standing seam metal roof system, insulated glass windows for energy efficiency, and exterior metal doors.

The Barrier Free Re-Entry and Recovery Initiative consists of four key components; 1. Recovery Supportive Living Assistance: Addresses Housing Barriers for people with SUD/OUD where need has increased during COVID due to job loss (program provides funding for rent for those living in sober living residences). The proposal would add funding to support the initiative for FY22 which is currently housed in the city’s Department of Social Services. It has previously been funded by local tax dollars in the city’s FY21 budget. A small portion of the barrier reduction fund would also benefit this program. 2. Community Paramedicine Support: This service is Lexington's Response Unit that connects with those who have been in contact with city services for naloxone administration. Staffed by a EMS Firefighter, Police Officer, and a Social Worker; this multidisciplinary team is growing as it their demand for services. We are proposing the purchase of two vehicles to aid the Community Paramedicine team. As well as access to the barrier reduction fund to aid with wrap around services needed for those they are working with. 3. Re-Entry and Recovery Navigator: Additional support housed in Department of Social Services to help navigate those to treatment and recovery upon release from detention at our local detention center and those identified by Community Paramedicine. The support would come in the form of a grant-funded Re-Entry and Recovery Navigator (Social Worker or Community Health Worker) to assist with identifying treatment and recovery options, as well as access to the barrier reduction fund to aid with needed wrap around services for those they are working with.

Due to its sharp turns, curvy roads, and rolling topography, it is considered dangerous and especially problematic during heavy rains due to high volumes of flooding. In addition, Economy Road creates a safe alternative route when there is a need for rerouting motorists and tractor trailer traffic from I-75, which is one of the heaviest traveled interstates in the County. Finally, having a three-lane route will decrease current response times for first responders who are called to provide emergency response when events occur at the Airport. Second, aviation is the leading export in Kentucky and brings in a significant amount of dollars to the region. Eastern Kentucky University “EKU,” which is located in Madison County, is the only 4-year degreed granting aviation program in the state. The Airport is the location of EKU’s flight operation and its fleet of 23 (soon to be 30) aircraft. Daily, students travel this roadway to get to flight school where they train to get their required flight hours. With air becoming a major part of the supply chain model thanks to distribution companies like Amazon, increased demand is begin seen with over 350 students currently enrolled in the aviation program. This number is expected to increase with EKU’s recent investment in additional aircraft. Having a safe route is not only key for students traveling to the airport but also to ensure parents viewing the campus and Airport for their prospective student feel comfortable having their child travel the roadway. In addition, the Airport is the 3rd largest general aviation airport in the Commonwealth of Kentucky used by not only EKU but by both private aviators as well as corporate planes. In 2019, the three local jurisdictions of Madison County, the City of Richmond, and the City of Berea worked together to jointly fund the construction of 30 T-hangers at the Airport.

That plan envisions a number of public projects that will support the downtown economy and improve quality of life. Chief among the plan’s proposed improvements is the activation of the Blanton’s Landing space.Blanton’s Landing is currently an underutilized parking lot and open space area bordered by the Kentucky River to the south and a large cliff face to the north. A set of steps from the parking lot lead down to a path with a small floating dock.A feasibility study completed by design consultant MKSK in 2021 presents concepts for four basic elements at Blanton’s Landing: a Kentucky River overlook at Ann Street; a dock underneath the overlook; an outdoor entertainment venue on the long, flat space of the landing’s east end; and a land-based terrace connecting all three of those spaces. The revitalized Blanton’s Landing will provide opportunities for riverfront recreation along a waterfront promenade, outdoor dining, docking and mooring of boats, and other open-air events. The proposed terrace scheme provides the best opportunity to reconnect with the water, a durable structure within the fluctuating levels of the Kentucky River, and multiple opportunities for waterside recreation. See http://www.frankfort.ky.gov/654/Blantons-Landing for a copy of the feasibility study and visualization of the concepts.The City seeks Economic Development Initiative funding to support final design and construction of the River Terrace element (from Ann Street to Goodwood), Phase I of the overall Blanton’s Landing redevelopment.

WWB has been designated as a Comprehensive Support and Improvement school for very low student performance. This project will allow the Council to address one of the top recommendations from the Education & Economic Opportunity subcommittee of Mayor Linda Gorton’s Commission for Racial Justice & Equity: “seek opportunities for expansion to serve additional children under three years old.” Annually, the Council will serve as many as 40 children in the WWB community who miss the “cut off” date for preschool eligibility because they turn four years of age after August 1st. The Council will be able to provide one full year of high-quality early childhood education and comprehensive family support services before they enter public school. The costs of child care are a heavy financial burden for many families today—especially, but not exclusively, families with low income. The Council’s Head Start programs help many families achieve self-sufficiency by enabling adults to access reliable, high-quality, safe care for their children while they work for pay outside the home. The Council is able to provide a firm foundation that prepares these children for further success throughout their school careers and into adulthood, increasing their chances of breaking the cycle of multigenerational poverty. | 200 East Main Street , Lexington , KY 40507 | 3221600 | |

The project would expand their services beyond the Los Angeles Harbor region. The intervention program is focused on decreasing the number of young community members, ages 10 through 15, who enter gangs. Youth and their families participating in the Violence Interruption through Gang Deterrence program have direct access to all of the services, programming and resources provided by the Center. Additionally, Trauma specialists will provide counseling for community members impacted by gang violence and retaliation. Working one-on-one with a case manager, they will determine what best suits each individual’s needs. By facilitating the development, education, and employment of youth and young adults, the organization seeks to reduce arrest rates and recidivism.The Toberman Neighborhood Center is contracted with the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office as one of the 23 Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) zone service providers. Since gang violence is not isolated by city limits, expanding comprehensive intervention and prevention services will allow the organization to respond to overlapping gang issues that are outside their current GRYD zone.

Every year more than 2,500 women are released from California prisons, and over 13,000 women in California are currently on parole. For over two decades, A New Way of Life has offered a supportive “welcome home” to assist women to heal from substance abuse and incarceration, exit parole, and to transition back to their families and their communities successfully. The need to protect inmates from the high rate of COVID infection in prisons led to more women coming home in Los Angeles County and needing services like those provided by ANWOL. The organization opened two new residential facilities in the past year and increased their support for employment training and placement. Funding this project would help sustain those new facilities and expanded employment services. For 1/3 the cost of incarceration, individualized services include 12-step recovery programs, tech training, personal/family counseling, family reunification, comprehensive employment services, education, and permanent housing -- all designed to facilitate self-sufficiency. Support for women re-entering society has proven to reduce recidivism, homelessness, encounters with the child welfare system and parole violations. Expanding the availability of services that have proven effective constitutes a wise investment of taxpayer funds. | 9512 South Central Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90002 | 250000 | |

The Answering the Second Call project combines the proven strategies of both organizations into a holistic, culturally-responsive, trauma-informed re-entry program that addresses and engages the whole person who may be returning from incarceration or who has had significant involvement in the juvenile and/or criminal justice systems. 2nd Call has spent years moving people from incarceration to successful careers, offering support and services, including, job readiness, life skills, court approved anger management, parenting and domestic violence programs that promote positive growth and post-release mentorship. Brotherhood Crusade’s nationally-recognized Proud to be Me Trauma-Informed Anti-Recidivism Initiative creates Resilient Residents who have the support and resources to: meet their basic needs; understand the personal, social, economic and societal forces that have shaped their lives so far; and move in a different direction for themselves and their families. Within 12 months of successful graduation from the Answering the Second Call program, recidivism rates among graduating Resilient Residents will have been reduced by 70% as measured by official probation, parole and court records and graduates will be viable contributing members of their communities as indicated by focus group, case study, and stakeholder survey results. Both organizations have deep roots in the communities they serve, which further enhances their positive outcomes for their participants and the surrounding community. Expanding the use of proven strategies to avoid the high costs of crime and re-incarceration constitute a wise investment of taxpayer funds. | 200 East Slauson Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90011 | 220000 | |

Peace ambassadors act as essential violence intervention workers and first responders to ensure safety in Los Angeles’ most underserved communities of color. This funding will strengthen and expand the South Los Angeles Peace Ambassadors project, allowing it to: train and support new peace ambassadors; better coordinate among peace ambassadors and other community workers; make better use of data to review patterns of shootings and develop deployment plans; and build and deepen relationships to strategically engage key neighborhood influencers. The Peace Ambassadors predict that this work will effectively lower neighborhood violence by at least 15% over the course of the grant period, avoiding incalculable costs to the families and neighborhoods in which gun violence takes its toll. Peace ambassadors and gang intervention workers have a demonstrated track record of reducing gun violence and saving lives. Evaluations demonstrate that gang intervention services have resulted in a 43% reduction in retaliatory violence and prevented 185 gang retaliations in Los Angeles over a one-year period. By keeping the peace on the streets of Los Angeles, violence intervention workers also prevent unnecessary costs associated with the criminal justice system. Gang intervention’s proven reductions in violent retaliations have generated an estimated cost saving to Los Angeles’ criminal justice systems of at least $55 million per year. These investments constitute a highly effective use of taxpayer funds. | 1910 W. Sunset Blvd., Suite 800, Los Angeles, CA 90026 | 220000 |
