impact on the community. <br />Question 5: Describe how your project will stimulate economic development for the City <br />of Santa Ana. <br />During our fall and winter programs at the Delhi Center, we served a total of 120 students. <br />Seventy-four percent of our participants classified as extremely low income, 24% very low income <br />and 9% low income. Youths and teens living in the Delhi neighborhood qualify as at risk and <br />underprivileged communities face cyclical challenges due to the lack of opportunities to gain <br />insight and recognize their inner gifts in a safe environment. ALIBI will provide an artist in residency <br />program at Hoover elementary by giving artists a chance to voice their creations in poetry, spoken <br />word, song, dance and visual art. Furthermore, our young artists will discover community heroes <br />and their impact in the community, which will inspire our students to become heroes too. ALIBI will <br />provide support for young artists to showcase what they learned through various community <br />events including DTSA Art Walk and connecting with local businesses to display the published <br />book in their space. This will also bring awareness to local venues that support the arts <br />throughout Santa Ana. Our students will enhance the community with powerful messages by <br />sharing their published book throughout the city and through their contemporary performances. <br />Moreover, ALIBI will offer Santa Ana residents job opportunities to use their artistic backgrounds <br />to teach skills within our program. Currently, many of our teaching artists are Santa Ana residents <br />who feel a sense of empowerment and importance to giving back in our community, especially <br />teaching the arts for youth. <br />ALIBI <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />
