PLC will also recruit, train, and support care providers to increase child and dependent care options in Santa Ana, thus expanding the workforce and allowing more residents to contribute to the City's economic development. PLC will also recruit care providers by a variety of methods including: - Referrals from community partners (e.g., SBDC, Women Helping Women, Family Resource Centers). PLC has and continues to develop close partnerships with nonprofit organizations and government agencies who work with clients who can benefit from PLC's assistance; - Referrals from prior PLC clients, who already formed successful businesses with PLC's assistance; - Community Outreach. PLC holds regular small business workshop for community members, as well as regular brief advice legal clinics, whereby clients are able to meet one-on-one with a volunteer attorney to discuss legal issues relating to their business; and Word of mouth. PLC is the only pro bono legal services provider in Orange County that provides free legal assistance specifically for caregivers. Under the new Microenterprise Home Kitchen Law (and existing Cottage Food laws), more Santa Ana residents will be able to start new small businesses in the area of food preparation and delivery. PLC will develop resources, and legal advice where necessary, to enable food entrepreneurs to successfully launch and run new small businesses. PLC will hold regular caregiver workshops (such as "Legal Aspects of Starting an In -Home Childcare Business in California") for community members. PLC will provide regular brief advice legal clinics aimed specifically for Santa Ana -based care providers. Once clients are identified and determined eligible, PLC will provide direct legal assistance to those clients. The assistance may vary, but will most likely include: assisting with formation of the business entity; guiding the client through the licensing process; preparing contracts and other documents necessary to run a childcare business; and assisting with other matters relating to the legal health of their business. PLC intends to educate and assist clients with legal aspects of forming workers cooperatives to provide care services. PLC will also provide legal assistance for Santa Ana -based nonprofit organizations which seek to establish childcare centers for their clients. Finally, PLC intends to act as a knowledge base and resource for legal issues affecting care providers in OC, particularly in Santa Ana. PLC is targeting low-income and fixed -income Santa Ana residents. For financial literacy programming, PLC will emphasize elder and senior residents. For prospective caregiver entrepreneurs, PLC is open to serving a broader population, including those who may not meet our traditional income eligibility guidelines. Many of our clients prefer to receive their services in Spanish and other non-English languages, for which we have bilingual staff and volunteers. EXHIBIT A
