Latino Health Access Weekly Food Distribution Program RFP 22-009A Rr VIVC Santa Ana: Food Supply/Distribution Programs By operating a weekly food distribution program and tracking services provided to working-class individuals in Santa Ana, Latino Health Access program staff and evaluation department is able to provide the required initial report that describes efforts to date to promote equity in the services to disproportionately impacted communities, as required by the Compliance and Reporting Guidance. Our program is intended to mitigate food insecurity in households within the City of Santa Ana and falls within the types of programs explicitly mentioned under the "Negative Economic Impacts" category. The guidelines also specify integrating strategies that advance racial equity. LHA's focus on Latinx and immigrant populations advance this goal. 2. The proposal shall include details on how the organization will service people in a Qualified Service Tract (QCT) (See link for below for map). If service is not in a QCT, how will the organization support their determination that the pandemic resulted in disproportionate public health or economic outcomes to the specific population, household, or geographic area served. Services proposed will primarily be implemented in the 92701 Zip Code and in similar Zip Codes in the City of Santa Ana, which include numerous QCTs. We have intentionally selected these geographic areas because they are those with the most social vulnerabilities that provide a context for food insecurity. The map shown (left) represents the primary service area and is inclusive of the geographic location of LHA's two service sites. The map shows the food insecurity index by Census Tract, where central Santa Ana's census tracts have higher food insecurity than in surrounding areas. 2. The proposal shall include details on how the organization will comply with 2 CFR part 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements) Latino Health Access is experienced in managing public funds, including those that are granted by federal agencies. Fulfillment of the Uniform Administrative Requirements will be ensured by a team that includes the Chief Program Officer, the Program Coordinator, and the Director of Finance. LHA maintains an active System for Award Management account and has in place the appropriate policies and procedures to abide by the required fiscal guidelines and cost principles. LHA will conduct the required federal awards audit in a timely manner and maintain current staff training to ensure compliance.
