FINANCIAL INFORMATION Please respond to statements in the space provided. Applicant must use a size 10 font with Times New Roman script. Do not submit additional pages. 1, Describe how the agency will leverage FEZ funds to provide support for the program services, including public, private, in -kind, cash, volunteer support and other funding sources. • In addition, describe how the agency will secure on -going funding and other resources to sustain the program in years to come without FEZ funding. The Santa Ana Police Department is leveraging funds as a result of involvement in A.. number of existing collaborative efforts in the areas of domestic violence and child abuse. By partnering with other agencies, these collaboratives will be able to maximize their service delivery to community members. The Community Resource Coalition seeks to further expand preventative, educational, and therapeutic measures to all four (4) Empowerment Zones. The Coalition will build on existing services and be able to leverage funds in the following ways: -FaCT Collaborative: located at Corbin Community Center and provides a variety of services to the community: victim advocacy, job training, ESL classes, parenting classes, PEP classes, individual therapy -Domestic Violence Grant: existing grant at the Santa Ana Police Department which provides a full-time victim specialist, full-time police investigator, an enforcement teams, and a victim notification system -Santa Ana Police Dept.: rental space, telephone service, computers, and office equipment at the Minnie Street Substation, the Minnie Street Learning Center, the Santa Ana Police Department, a full-time police officer assigned to the substation WTLC: Safety Net and Safe Alternatives - temporary emergency shelter programs and follow-up advocacy for victims of violent crimes; FVERT — advocates who ride along with officers and provide crisis intervention and referral services -CSP nc.: local victim/witness centers provide assistance to crime victims, including .assistance in obtaining temporary restraining orders The Santa Ana Police Department and other members of the Coalition will continue to seek grant opportunities to fund various components of this program. Human Options receives funding from individual donations, county CDBG funds, fees from the PEP classes, and monies from other foundations. Community Service Programs, Inc. continually seeks grant opportunities at local, state, and federal levels. 2. Describe how this grant will benefit the proposed program (e.g. will increase hours of operation, allow for additional staff, supplies for programs... etc). This grant will enable the Santa Ana Police Department and Coalition members to double the services presently available to FEZ residents. It will provide for a victim specialist stationed in. the community to provide immediate crisis intervention and referral services which will be easily accessible at the Minnie Street Substation. It will also improve services to FEZ 'residents by establishing PEP classes within the Empowerment Zones thus enabling citizens to attend classes in their own communities rather than forcing them to seek services in other areas of the county. Grant monies will pay community members to provide childcare during the PEP classes. Central Justice Center's Domestic Violence Court lacks resources to conduct any follow up monitoring of current defendants and probationers. This grant will ensure compliance with court orders and conditions of probation thereby increasing the safety and security of family members. Successful completion of programs ordered by Domestic Violence Court will give families a much better chance to remain intact and thereby reducing the overall economic impact of these crimes.
