It is a partnership between Delhi Center and the Public Law Center (PLC), which integrates or "bundles" a broad range of financial stability program components with legal services, designed to leverage the expertise and resources of both organizations and their respective networks to equip clients with the tools needed for progressive economic success. The program will serve 47 Santa Ana residents with a total of 1,042 contacts and will target residents who struggle with ongoing poverty, as well as those who suddenlyfind themselves in need, including single female headed households and older teens/young adults who often are the only family member with legal employment capacity. While the majority of clients served will be residents of the Delhi neighborhood, all Santa Ana residents will be served. The program meets the City of Santa Ana Strategic Plan Goal and Emphasis for Economic Development by using an evidence -based best practices approach to help low-income families achieve financial success. FES provides training, legal representation, and guidance needed by Santa Ana residents to navigate the complex and complicated systems that lead to financial success. It goes beyond the workshop structure provided by many organizations that attempt to educate residents on financial stability by ushering them through the processes needed to measurably improve their economic status. By adding legal services, the program also meets the need to address obstacles that are preventing clients from moving forward with financial stability goals. While many FES clients have improved their economic status, many are also stuck; they are unable to take the final steps for starting a business or to improve their economic status due to legal issues related to their victimization by fraudulent predators, and they have other legal issues that once resolved will breakdown the roadblocks towards economic independence. By using the integrated services approach families become educated and prepared to address a wide range of issues that affect their finances and they are able to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. The strategy strives to sustain a long-term relationship with participants because building a stronger financial life is an ongoing process. By improving the economic well-being of families in our community, the community itself benefits in the long -run. EXHIBIT A
