DELHI CENTER <br />Building Health and Wealth <br />5/2/2023 <br />Re: Item #27 <br />Dearest Councilmembers, <br />Thank you for your continued support of Delhi Center. <br />Since 2017 Delhi Center has offered the Family Economic Succes Program (FES) which serves <br />Santa Ana residents from all walks of life. Due to the pandemic, the need for the FES program <br />has only increased. We continue to revise our program as needed to meet the community where <br />it is. <br />We appreciate the acknowledgment of Delhi's achievements in the FES program and the staff s <br />recommendation for additional funding. Should you approve to increase the funds awarded, we <br />will be able to serve an additional 17 clients during the 2023-2024 program year. By awarding <br />additional funds, the Delhi Center can serve more families with the same successful programs, <br />resources, and services provided to the clients and support more families in their journey to self- <br />sufficiency. <br />FES provides training and guidance Santa Ana residents need to navigate the -complex and <br />complicated systems that lead to financial success. It goes beyond the workshop structure <br />provided by many organizations that attempt to educate residents on financial stability by <br />ushering them through the processes needed to measurably improve their economic status. <br />The proposed program extends that strategy by ushering clients through the process that links <br />them to training and resources needed to mitigate the effects of criminal victimization that often <br />interrupts the progression of economic success if not addressed. <br />Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to our continued partnership in serving our <br />community. <br />4SSiinc4a�r <br />iado-Hernandez <br />Interim CEO, Board President <br />Delhi Center <br />juanita@delhicenter.org <br />505 East Central Ave. Santa Ana, CA 92707 <br />714.481.9600 <br />
