(LVA)has offered free, confidential, one-to-one and small group instruction in reading, writing, and conversational English from a trained, certified, LVA volunteer tutor. Any adult who reads and writes below a 5 ' grade level or needs help communicating in English is eligible for enrollment in LVA Basic READ or ESL (English as a Second Language)programs. If there are children in home,the family is eligible for enrollment in LVA Family Literacy. 0 LVA operates three main delivery sites in Key Largo, Marathon and Key West,with a coordinator, supported by volunteers, situated in each area: Lower,Middle and Upper Keys. y Our director/trainer/instructor provides countywide supervision through site visits,telephone and internet,maintaining close contact with coordinators and volunteers. As a countywide organization, LVA has the experience and recognition in the community to be able to recruit individuals and families in need,match them with volunteers, and help students obtain personal goals through increased literacy skills. Student goals include improving reading and writing N skills for personal satisfaction, improving employability skills, obtaining employment,becoming a U.S. citizen,removing oneself from public assistance, and helping one's children to become better prepared for success both in school and in life. 0 Our program is a prevention program that directly addresses the following goals: ➢ crime prevention ➢ drug and alcohol abuse prevention ➢ the mental and physical health of minors and adults How these goals are addressed: Crime, drug and alcohol abuse and unstable mental health E typically occur in an atmosphere of hopelessness,poverty and neglect common to people with low literacy skills. In this kind of atmosphere, families perpetuate a pattern of illiteracy,passing it from one generation of welfare recipients to the next--a legacy of illiteracy--a"family tradition." Those who do not obtain the necessary literacy skills to seek and obtain gainful employment are more easily drawn into crime as a means for survival, and slip into the trenches of drug and alcohol abuse as a natural sequence of events. Incarceration most often soon follows. When intervention through our program helps prevent crime, drug and alcohol abuse, the mental and physical health of minors and adults is well served. Packet Pg. 1949 J.1.a GOALS: 1) To provide individuals and families with one-to-one and small group instruction in adult education for adults reading and writing at the grade 0-5.5 level as well as for those who are limited English proficient. 2) For students to identify a minimum of one and maximum of three short and/or long term goals that they wish to achieve. 3) For students to work towards personal goal achievement through increased literacy skills. OBJECTIVES: 1) To increase literacy skills for participating adults and families. 2) To offer services to as many Monroe County residents who need our help as possible. OUTCOMES: 1) Clients will see skill improvements for themselves via one or more of the following: standardized test scores,tutor and teacher reporting/student self-reporting. c 2) Clients will achieve goals. y 3) Clients will become more educated and empowered community contributors. BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE: Since 1984, LVA has helped over 45,969 Monroe County adults to obtain personal goals throughCD N increased literacy skills with our Basic READ and ESL programs. We address the following problems in our community: (a) The great numbers of economically and educationally disadvantaged and disenfranchised c adults and children in our community who have"fallen through the cracks"—living and working in our community(some all their lives)but still unable to read and write at a fifth grade level (even if they have completed high school) (b) The great numbers of Monroe County residents who can neither,read, write, speak or understand English. (c )Children are entering school with no readiness skills and turning into adults unable to read and write at a level sufficient enough to function effectively on a day-to-day basis. (d) Children are falling behind in school because they do not get the homework help they need and are dropping out of school without sufficient skills to compete for good jobs. To address these causes we provide one-to-one and group literacy instruction for individuals and families with programs that address non-readers who are English speaking Americans along with limited English proficient residents who are immigrants. Packet Pg. 1950 TARGET POPULATION: We target individuals and families on our waiting lists countywide over the age of 18, with equal numbers of males as females, as well as an undetermined number of children under age 18 who learn together with parents. Census figures show the target population comprised of under- educated adults in Monroe County with 0-9 years of schooling(4,478)and high school dropouts (7,404). In addition, 10,451 persons speak a language other than English in the home, and out of these 2,115 "do not speak English well." A minimum of 27%of individuals residing in Monroe County are targeted by LVA programs. APPROACH METHOD: Ours is a student centered approach. Meaning we look at the student goals and proficiencies and tailor an individual program to meet that student's needs. We train volunteers to provide one-to-one and small group tutoring. We intake individuals needing literacy training in the Lower, Middle and Upper Keys. Our Middle Keys Coordinator is a former LVA student and leader in the Marathon area. She often drives to the homes of students who do not have transportation. At intake, students are placed in c a learning level,with long and short term goals assessed. Our staff matches each student with a y trained,certified literacy volunteer. Volunteers work with students a minimum of two hours per `" week and a maximum of as many hours as is agreeable to both tutor and student toward the attainment of personal goals through increased literacy skills. Families needing literacy training will follow the same procedure as individuals. N RESOURCES AND COSTS: N We request$10,000 or 6.6% of our annual budget for our core Basic READ and ESL programs to help cover the cost of countywide day-to-day operations including staffing working directly with students ($9,500) and book keeping services ($500). 0 Additional resources anticipated to support all programs include $25,000 from the Keys Open Doors foundation, $25,000 from Knight Foundation, $49,500 from the HSABBOCC,and over $40,000 from fund raisers including Benihana Celebrity Chef Cook Off, and Hemingway Days Caribbean Street Fair. SUSTAINABILITY: This project will be sustained on a year-by-year basis. If history is an indication of future per- c, formance, our project will be sustained through new and continuing grant sources, new and con- tinuing partnership arrangements and the use of trained, certified literacy volunteers. LVA has had the same President for the past 16 years. Our Treasurer, along with our director, have each been with our organization for 27 years which provides continuity and direction. Our biggest challenge for 2020 will be to pay staff who can afford to work in the Keys, and,to train and motivate volunteers while maintaining services countywide.

Easter Seals Florida, Inc. / Keys Area would like to continue offering medical rehabilitation and audiology services for children and adults with special needs. In this program, the patients receive medically necessary therapies (speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy) and audiology services (hearing evaluations, screenings, etc.). This program is located throughout the lower Keys. We want to continue running this program because there are currently no facilities with qualified personnel or room available to assist special needs children and adults with these specific services, and there is a growing number of these individuals going untreated. We anticipate the ongoing operating costs to be $27,500 per year, 0 LU N N 1 Packet Pg. 1955 J.1.b A. Introduction. Established in the Florida Keys in 1948, Easter Seals Florida, Inc. / Keys Area serves over 1200 Monroe County children and adults it autism, and/or developmental delays each year. Our programs include in referral source forte Monroe CountyEarly Steps Program, audiology testing and hearingaids, equipment loan program (walkers, wheelchairs), orthotics and prosthetic equipment, n rovi in medical rehabilitation services forspecial needs individuals. e would like to continue providing e ical rehabilitation and audiology services. In this program, e offer onsite medical therapies, support for working families, and resources for families with children or adults who have been diagnosed and are i re t forspecial needs. We have the trained professionals, as well as special needs equipment fa ili s can borrow (wheelchairs, walkers, and other assistive technology devices). The Keys Office is part of a nationwide network of 450 service sites that assists more than one million children and adults with disabilities and their families annually. Each center provides top- quality, family-focused and innovative services tailored to meet the specific needs of the particular community it serves. As such, e have the capacity to manage this project. It is core to our - fission and a proven model that we haveimplemented in numerous communities across the country. 0 Objectives,B. Goals, ). The Easter Seals Medical Rehabilitation Program was developed to fulfill an unmet need in the < community (providing therapies and related e ical services in a familiar setting forspecial needs children and adults). Our goal for the future is to continue to offer a professional standard o excellence and demonstratea commitment to the families that we serve. Our objectives are to be proactive in the community by supporting a ilies with special needs individuals and to continue providing these families with this unique service and level of care. e have the commitment and experienceo continue this programo serve more families. The 2 state standard for after school child care states that for children to 4 years of age, there ust De one child care ersonnel for every children. is ratio does not work for children with special needs that need or individualized care. In addition to providing therapies and related medical cN services for the special needs children, e are able to offer training to the daycareteachers to provide the appropriate care and safe environment that these children need. We need assistance with operational costs of the program (staffing, etc). If a child is over 3 years of age and hasspecial needs, he or she maye eligible forte school- based re- (Exceptional Student Education) program administered by Monroe County School District. Evidence over the last 15 years indicates that intensive early intervention i optional educational settings for at least 2 yearsduring the preschool years results in improved outcomes in most young children i special needs. Our services are available tote preschoolers enrolled in school based ESE programs, as well as adults. This program offers families a safe and healthy environment fortheir loved ones with special needs. According to statistics provided by Monroeon social service agencies, as of December 2019 it is estimated that there are 7 + children in need of these services. We are unable to ascertain the number of adults in need of theseservices, however, the number of referrals continues t increase each year. z Packet Pg. 1956 J.1.b C. Background and Significance (Why the project is important to the community). Children older than 3 years usually have school-based, individualized, special education. The child may be in a segregated class or in an integrated class with children without disabilities for at least part of the day. Different localities may use differing methods but all should provide a structure that will help the children learn social skills and functional communication. In these programs, teachers often involve the parents, giving useful advice in how to help their child use the skills or behaviors learned at school when they are at home. Unfortunately, many children that qualify for the school- based ESE (Exceptional Student Education) program choose not to enroll their children because they are unable to find after school and child care for children on school closure days. This is a two-fold problem because the child does not receive the special education, and the child care centers do not have the appropriate staff-to-child ratios needed for special needs children. Many children with mild to severe therapeutic, audiologic, or behavioral issues can be over-stimulated and disruptive in classrooms with higher ratios. This burden on the childcare centers also contributes to the increased turnover in childcare centers teaching staff. D. Target Population. This project will serve male and female special needs children in the lower Keys, ages 0 to 7. We will also serve special needs adults of any age. E. Approach Method. There is no single best treatment package for all individuals with special needs. One point that most professionals agree on is that early intervention is important; another is that most individuals with special needs respond well to highly structured, specialized programs. Effective programs teach early communication and social interaction skills. Appropriate interventions usually take place in the home, a child care center, or other location familiar to the individual. Easter Seals services include behavioral methods, communication, and therapy along with social interventions. The children and adults learn by doing. Easter Seals works closely with the families to ensure that best practices are being followed through in the home. Audiology and Speech Language Pathology services are provided via a purchased services arrangement with Hear 4 Kidz at the Easter Seals office in Key West. 3 Packet Pg. 1957 J.1.b F.

Sustainability. In addition to the multi-year funding we are seeking from the SAFF grant, our plan to sustain this program consists of: • continuing to allocate a portion ($10,000) of existing Easter Seals fundraising proceeds • reducing administrative overhead costs by downsizing space and collaborating with other community agencies (Hear 4 Kidz, Island Physical Therapy, etc.) • other grants (this will vary from year to year. Current applications include community grants from Publix and CVS). Our clinicians have been providing medical rehabilitation and audiology services for many years.

Applicant's Signature Applicants Name o 0 r9 Packet Pg. 1969 J.1.c Abstract "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." Frederick Douglass Keys to Be the Change(KTBTQ provides unduplicated alcohol,drug and violence prevention programs to high-risk youth in Monroe County.Our mission is to provide programs, education,awareness and opportunities that empower children,youth and adults to improve health,wellness and skills for success in school and in life.The Monroe County Sheriff s Shared Asset Forfeiture funding will help support two programs for high risk youth in Monroe County.The targeted youth do not have strong family support and/or a bond to their school or their community.They are charting their own course at a very young age.The goal of all BTC programs is to build self-esteem and self-confidence which helps to create a drug, alcohol and violence free lifestyle. The KTBTC Kids in: Pathways to Success Mentoring Program ( : S)has served high-risk youth in Monroe County since 2014.This program engages youth ages 10-18 that are truant and/or failing at least one subject in school.They are recommended to KTBTC by y administrators, school based truancy teams,guidance counselors,teachers,parents,peers and/or community partners such as the Children's Shelter,Wesley House,Take Stock in Children or the Guidance Care Center. High-risk youth from Key West High School, Horace ' ryant School and Poinciana Elementary School are paired with a mentor. Our mentor pool consists of Police Officers from the Key West Police Department, uniformed personnel from W the United States Coast Guard and United States Navy, Keys Energy Service personnel as well as caring community members who want our youth to succeed.These mentors help boost academics and increase healthy pro-social behavior by meeting with their mentee during their electives on a weekly basis.This program is modeled after the highly successful Take Stock in Children Program where mentors meet for - 5 minutes during the school day. Most of the referred students do not have positive role models in their lives.Our mentors create a sense of accountability and stability in their mentees lives. Most at risk youth in our community want someone to help them with their pathway to success. The :PTS program does that.The :PTS Success Coach monitors students in the program,on a daily basis, and provides each mentor and mentee with weekly academic and social success reports.The Success Coach is in constant contact with teachers,guidance counselors,administrators,and parents when necessary. The Success Coach is also a part of the school Truancy Team that identifies and offers hope for those disengaged from school. Currently there aretwenty-three youth in the program grades -1 .The program has a success rate of over seventy percent in improving grades and decreasing truancy among the highest-risk youth. The total cost of this program is$28,000 per year.We are requesting$6400 from this grant. The remaining funds from this grant($30 )will be utilized to share the cost of the bus(with the City of KeyWest)for our Youth Leaders to attend the annual PeaceJam Leadership Conference at Florida State University.The opportunity to attend PeaceJam and learn how one person can make a difference in this world by meeting and working with a Nobel Packet Pg. 1970 J.1.c Laureate for a weekend is a once in a lifetime experience. The students attending PeaceJa have been responsible for providing monthly peer-to peer anti-drug,alcohol and violence messages on their campuses, mentoring reluctant readers weekly at our elementary schools, providing math tutoring to elementary students, providing Human Trafficking Awareness campaigns as well as anti-vaping campaigns and being a Lunch Buddy to our special needs students. Currently there are over 100 youth involved in prevention activities with Keys to Be the Change. A. INTRODUCTION: Describe the overall organization, its qualifications relevant to this request and its capacity to manage the project. Keys to Be the Change, Inc.

W Improve grades Increase participation and II Increased grades equals build self-esteem with successful graduation from positive peer role models high school. while reducing the dropout rate. 0 C. Background and Significance (Why the project is important to the community.) The Monroe County School District battles with truancy issues as well as low graduation rates for high-risk youth. Over four thousand ( 00)students in the Monroe County School District are eligible for free and reduced lunches which indicates a very high poverty level in our community. Living at or below poverty level usually indicates that parents are working more than one job to support their families which leaves little to no time for their children.The graduation rate of at-risk youth in Monroe County for the school year ending Z018 was 7 . compared to the overall graduation rate of 86.4%.The English Language Learners(ELL) students had a 60.3%graduation rate in Monroe County compared to 75%for the state of Florida.As youth age,they begin experimenting with alcohol and drugs. Missed days of school make it harder for students to catch up once grades are poor or near failing.These students are at a higher risk for substance use and abuse when they are not engaged and Packet Pg. 1972 J.1.c connected to school.This often leads to risk taking behaviors including criminal activity and ultimately dropping out of school. According to the 2019 Florida Substance Abuse Survey: "Confirming the findings of other youth surveys,including the Florida Youth Tobacco Survey,vaping has emerged as one of the most prevalent forms of substance use among youth. Florida students reported a past-30-day rate of 12.5 for vaping nicotine,more than seven times the rate of cigarette use. Florida students also reported a past-30-day rate of 8.3 for vaping marijuana,also substantially higher than past-30-day cigarette use." While the long-term pattern shows reductions in substance use across age groups,the short-term pattern is different for middle school and high school students.Florida middle school students reported higher rates of alcohol use in 2019,with the past-30-day prevalence rate increasing 0.9 percentage points and the binge drinking rate increasing 0.5 percentage points.Also while high school students reported a 0.9 percentage point reduction in past-30-day marijuana use in 2019,the rate for middle school students did not change. In contrast to the reductions for alcohol and cigarettes,the long-term trend for marijuana use among < Florida students is mixed,with a history of both increases and decreases. Hispanic/Latino students reported past-30-day prevalence rates that were higher than African CD American students but lower than White, non-Hispanic students for past-30-day alcohol use(15.2%), CD binge drinking(7.2%),cigarette use(1.3 )and marijuana use(9. %) W Opportunities for Improvement •Alcohol continues to be the most commonly used drug among Florida students.Across all seven °3 surveyed grades,36.8 reported lifetime use and 1 .8 reported past-30-day use. •About one in 10(9.3 )Florida high school students reported one or more occasions of binge o drinking(defined as the consumption of five or more drinks in a row)in the last two weeks.Among high school students who drank, 19.0 reported consuming five or more drinks per day on the days they drank. •Among high school students,13.0 reported one or more occasions of blacking out after drinking. •After alcohol,students reported vaping nicotine(23.5 lifetime and 12.5 past-30-day)as the most commonly used drug.Vaping marijuana(15.3%lifetime and 8.3%past-30-day)is the fourth highest substance use category. •Among high school students,1 .2%reported riding in a vehicle driven by someone who had been drinking alcohol.Riding in a vehicle driven by someone who had been using marijuana was even more prevalent,at 21.1 . •Among high school students,3.3 and 8.7%reported driving when they had been drinking alcohol or using marijuana,respectively. • Past-30-day prevalence rates for the inappropriate use of over-the-counter drugs(1.3 ), prescription pain relievers(1.2 ),and depressants(1.2%)are higher than for all other illicit drugs, except marijuana and inhalants." Packet Pg. 1973 J.1.c D. Target Population(who will be served specifically?Age?Gender?Special circumstances) High-risk youth in the Monroe County School District ages 10-18 are the focus of this grant. Components of the KTBTC integrated programs are designed to engage,embrace and inspire youth to achieve academically,socially, make positive choices and build healthy relationships as they move into adulthood.Over 90%of students who are engaged in KTBTC programs are at-risk due to failing one or more classes,excessive absenteeism, behavioral problems,social withdrawal,single parent homes,language barrier homes and/or involvement with the courts.Youth need programs and support that increases attendance,school bonding and commitment,healthy beliefs and standards, role models,as well as alcohol and drug free activities in which to participate.Our goal is to increase services while reducing high-risk behaviors that lead to alcohol use,drug use and violence. E. Approach Method. (How will the project be done?Where will it be done?When?What staffing is required?) o Each September students are engaged at schools through posters,announcements,peer sponsors and/or administrative referrals.Weekly sessions are utilized to plan and implement KTBTC programs which include the Kids in:Pathways to Success Program,the PeaceJam Leadership Conference,and the many peer-to-peer Prevention Programs.The SADD(Students Against Destructive Decisions) calendar is utilized as a framework for monthly campus wide peer-to-peer prevention campaigns. These are all evidence based models that utilize an environmental approach to prevention and reducing teen tobacco use,alcohol consumption,drug use,violence and prescription drug misuse.This interactive approach provides information and resources to help student's better serve and help themselves as well as their community. KTBTC partners with the Florida National Guard Counter Drug unit as well as the Florida Department of Health in Monroe County and the Monroe County Human Trafficking Coalition to provide students with the most accurate and up to date information for them to fight drug,alcohol,vaping,violence and human trafficking on their campus and in their communities.Students are engaged through awareness campaigns,student pledges and interactive activities that all send the message to their peers that positive choices make for a healthier,safer and more fulfilling life.Youth also participate in many on-going after school events.They can be found working on research,creating posters,volunteering at community events,and/or developing their prevention campaigns. The required staff to implement these projects includes a Teacher Sponsor,a county wide Prevention Coordinator and the :PTS Success Coach. Packet Pg. 1974 J.1.c F. Resources and costs.

'` (Printed) Packet Pg. 1978 J.1.d Monroe County Sheriffs Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund 202 Grant Application Abstract FKOC serves homeless individuals and families that agree to live peaceably in a drug and alcohol-free communal environment provided by our Emergency and Transitional Shelters as well as our Permanent Supportive Housing Program for adults with serious mental illness.In 2019, 83%of the adults FKOC served were ex-offenders,FKOC believes that by offering these supportive services,we can help reduce recidivism and increase their likelihood of exiting to permanent housing with increased income. FKOC is seeking funding in the amount of$10,000 to support onsite drug testing at admission and then ongoing drug testing during their time in shelter. FOC's preadmission requirements include a criminal background check and drug test. Should an applicant test positive for drugs or alcohol they will be given an opportunity to demonstrate that they have stopped using the substance in question. Participants in the program are required c to participate in a case plan which includes that they remain drug and alcohol free, attend W NA/AA meetings for the first 90-days of the program, attend weekly life-skills and relapse y prevention classes,maintain steady employment and/or vocational training,provide community service and abide by all house rules and regulations. Ongoing drug testing is used to detect the use of alcohol, cocaine, TC, amphetamines,benzodiazepine, opiates,and oxycodone. If a participant fails to comply with their case plan,program managers assess and determine appropriate corrective action to best serve each individual client. To better serve our residential clients and reduce the costs of ongoing testing,FKOC purchased seven breathalyzer testers. This helps avoid false positives that are common to using saliva reliant tests. In an effort to better the serve the community and our residential clients,FKOC has worked to improve services which benefit their long-term recovery from homelessness. FKOC's Neece Center Program Manager has been working closely with Probation Officers to better connect 2 services to our shared clients speaking with them several times a week. Our Program Manager attends Drug Court regularly to report how clients are not only doing at FKOC but to also collaborate on case plans. Further the Neece Center Program Manager has created a job search assistance program working with local employers to help connect unemployed and under employed residents. Additionally,FKOC offers volunteer opportunities onsite for those on probation to help meet their requirements and ensure that clients are staying busy doing the "right"thing. These efforts are working; in 2018, C's Neece Center housed 20 clients on probation and 12 had violations during their time at FKOC. In 2019,26 clients were o probation and only S violated during their time at FKOC. That's a reduction of 6 % of E probation clients violating down to 19% in one year. We believe that this demonstrates that FKOC is following the very purpose of this funding.

INTRODUCTION The Florida Keys Outreach Coalition,Inc. (FOC) is in its 28th year of service to Monroe County. The mission of the FKOC is to provide homeless individuals and families with the resources and opportunity by which to attain residential, financial and personal stability and self- sufficiency. FKOC further seeks to address the underlying causes of homelessness and work toward its elimination in Monroe County, Florida. FKOC operates seven residential recovery programs for individuals and families; including: - veterans,mentally ill, alcohol and substance abusers,victims of domestic violence,physically disabled and HIV+individuals. All adult clients receive extensive case management; support groups, life skills and life enrichment programs; relapse prevention and education; assistance U- obtaining employment; health education and screenings; and spiritual counseling. FOC's William M.Neece Center for Homeless Recovery offers emergency shelter with 24- beds for single men,recovering predominantly from alcohol and/or substance abuse and other physical or mental disabilities. FOC's transitional housing facilities provide 100-beds for individuals and families, including single parents, intact families, and physically disabled. N FKOC offers two permanent supportive housing units for families who have a long-term need for support as the result of a family member's disability,whether a parent or child. c Peacock Supportive Living offers permanent supportive housing in two facilities for up to 38- individuals with serious mental illness. Peacock has operated at capacity with an average consistent wait list of three dozen individuals and that FKOC is actively seeking to increase bed capacity for individuals with serious mental illness. FKOC has added 3 fiffly ADA compliant 2 handicapped accessible units with two beds each to expand our ability to serve physically limited community members in need. Community food pantries and outreach office are operated from the William M.Neece Center and St. Peter's Episcopal Church on Center Street, Key West,offering mainstream benefits accessibility onsite, information and referral services, emergency groceries and personal care items. FKOC has secured numerous homelessness prevention and intervention grants that provide assistance throughout the Florida Keys. FKOC has expanded our prevention services to assist those impacted by Hurricane a as well as providing assistance to furloughed federal employees during extended Federal Government shutdowns. Referral sources to FKOC include Monroe County Detention Center and corresponding Monroe County Sheriff's Office, social service organizations,the Courts, S uel's House,Domestic Abuse Shelter, law enforcement agencies, soup kitchens, churches, Fl Keys Healthy Start and the Keys Overnight Temporary Shelter. Packet Pg. 1980 J.1.d Monroe County Sheriffs Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund 202 Grant Application GOALS,B. OBJECTIVES& OUTCOMES: The vast majority of homeless adults served by FKOC are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. Funding from the Sheriff's Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund will be used toward the costs of administering stering g and alcohol tests to all clients to assist with their continued recovery and sobriety. The goal of this funding is to supplement FOC's sober living environment that offers onsite life skills courses,access to 12 step programming, and regular drug and alcohol testing. The combination of these interventions to create a supportive environment that fosters sober living skills,reduces relapse and recidivism, and ultimately independent living. FKOC staff works closely with Probation Officers to collaborate on case plans and attend Drug Court hearings. FKOC offers a job search assistance program to help connect unemployed and under employed residents and offers volunteer opportunities onsite for to help meet volunteer requirements. The results of this increased assistance to our clients on probations has shown a great decrease in the c U- number of probation violations. In 2018,60% of FKOC clients on probation violated their 0) probation,in 219 that was reduced to only 19%. Clear evidence that F C's y commitment to working with Drug Court,Probation Officers,and our shared clients is producing better outcomes. The objective is to provide 700 alcohol and drug tests onsite to 200 residents of FKOC. N FKOC's predicted outcome is to provide services to a minimum of 150 residents with a criminal background. c C. BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE For most,residential and economic stability and self-sufficiency cannot be achieved without sobriety. Addiction very often precipitates and sustains homelessness as drug and alcohol addiction inhibits one's ability to work while endlessly feeding the cycle of homelessness. Untreated substance abuse offenders are more likely to relapse to drug abuse and return to criminal behavior bringing about re-arrest and re-incarceration-further taxing the criminal justice system resources and jeopardizing public health and safety. c FKOC provides a structured foundation upon which homeless men and women can rebuild their lives. A case managed Individualized Plan of Action is developed upon admission and modified throughout the program in accordance to the individual's needs and progress. Program participants learn and practice the skills needed to achieve lives as productive, contributing law abiding members of the community. D. TARGET POPULATION The target population for which funding is requested consists of homeless adults in recovery from homelessness, alcohol and/or substance abuse. Profile of 242 unduplicated residential Q110DU 5@1v@d during 2019, 332 duplicated clients served in 2019.

FKOC additionally works with the Sheriff's Office to offer offenders a safe, structured housing option n upon release to reduce recidivism. Judges offer some inmates early release on the condition they enter FKOC's program and remain clean and sober. Due to the closure of other en's shelters both locally and on the mainland of Florida, FKOC N has experienced a far greater need for en's emergency beds to assist newly released offenders. APPROACHE. T FKOC admits homeless individuals and families that agree to live peaceably in a drug and alcohol-free communal environment. Preadmission requirements include a criminal background check(due to proximity of buildings used by the Florida Keys Children's Shelter)and drug test. Should an applicant test positive for drugs or alcohol they will be given an opportunity to demonstrate that they have stopped using the substance in question. Participants in the program are required to remain drug and alcohol free, attend NA/AA meetings for the first 90-days of the program(and then as deemed appropriate by their case manager, sponsor and/or professional counselor),attend weekly life-skills and relapse prevention classes,maintain steady employment and/or vocational training,provide community service and abide by all house rules and regulations. Drug tests detect the use of alcohol,cocaine, TC,Amphetamines,benzodiazepine,opiates,and oxycodone. This project is managed by the Executive Director,Director of Operations, Client Services Manager,Program Managers,Program Assistants,and volunteer live-in monitors.

FKOC is among very limited options many have to turn to for residential and recovery assistance. Closures of other shelters in Monroe County and on mainland Florida have caused greater need for FKOC shelter services,while our funding continues to be reduced. We need financial support from the SSAFF so we can continue to help the vulnerable citizens attain lives of sobriety,independence&self-sufficiency and become contributing members of the community. Since substance abuse is a cause and a result of homelessness,both issues need to be addressed simultaneously. FKOC has demonstrated for over two decades that stable housing during and after treatment decreases the risk of relapse. Substance abuse treatment on its own is inadequate and needs to be combined with a supportive housing model proven effective by FKOC.

APSMC is dedicated to serving high school students, dropouts, adjudicated youth, youth aging out of foster care, youth with disabilities, and other disadvantaged youth aged 16- 18. They will earn while they learn, working toward either a standard high school diploma or a GED and gaining valuable job skills in summer 2020. It is typically difficult for unskilled workers, especially those with a history of delinquency, to find an entry-way into the job market. Concurrently, there is a need for skilled workers in the trades, but there are limited trade schools, technical schools or apprentice programs within 100 miles. c To meet this need APSMC has developed a partnership with the City of Key West, now in its y tenth year, to offer summer youth employment: The Idle Hands Summer Youth Employment Program. The 2020 project will build on the previous "Idle Hands" youth employment services offered byCD CD APSMC, and supported in part by the Sheriff's Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund. We have secured 0. additional matching funding this�4 ear as in years past. In the project our youth will receive skills training, education, counseling, mentoring, c LO leadership development and real wages of $12/hour combined with service to the community. APSMC will provide counseling, bookkeeping and administrative services. Target youth will get off E or stay off drugs, stay in school or go back to school. This will be the measure of success. The overall goal is that students will emerge with the skills and opportunities to turn their lives around. It is important to note that APSMC currently operates the Southernmost Fatherhood Initiative serving the entire Florida Keys. Packet Pg. 1988 e J.1.e A. INTRODUCTION As has been mentioned, (APSMC) is a community based non-profit organization dedicated to serving the highest risk youth and their families in the Florida Keys. APSMC also seeks to identify unmet needs within our community, and to provide innovative and evidence-based services to meet those needs. Our ultimate goal is to improve outcomes for the youth and families we serve, while protecting the public by reducing juvenile crime and delinquency in Florida. For the past twenty years APSMC has been providing successful, contracted and structured countywide DJJ treatment programs _ 2 for high-risk youth that offer opportunities for personal growth, social development and responsible 0 behavior. APSMC also provides critical services: • Fatherhood program for fathers in the community and detention, utilizing an evidence-based a curriculum. • Summer youth job training,placement and supervision for adolescents. 40 40 • Case management. A volunteer board governs the organization. An Executive Director is responsible for overall 0 operation of the corporation, including the establishment of policies and procedures, fiscal planning and CL LO implementation, marketing planning and implementation, community liaison, and all other matters pertaining to the operation of A Positive Step of Monroe County, Inc. APSMC and its programs are based on a holistic approach to health and well-being, in which clients and families are empowered to become active participants in the healing process. The focus is not only on the client but also on the entire family, the home environment and the community. Past Experience: APSMC has already demonstrated a 20-year history of past successful performance in operating previous DJJ contracts in Monroe County, and a 15-year verifiable history of full compliance with SAFF award requirements. Readiness: All features of the proposed program are ready for immediate implementation. Packet Pg. 1989 J.1.e Administrative Support Capability: APSMC has centralized accounting, personnel, clinical records and management of information systems. An internal independent Quality Assurance Specialist monitors compliance to all APSMC Inc.'s contractual requirements, programs and service deliverables. Fiscal Accountability: Auditors conduct annual reviews of the agency's financial statements and of compliance with established standards and the Generally Accepted Financial Principles of the operation of non-profit organizations. Expert Knowledge Base: A strong, diverse, talented team of community and individual service providers who offer APSMC experiential clinical and academic background and expertise in prevention programming, substance abuse treatment,mental health counseling, and cultural diversity issues. Interagency Collaboration and Community Resources: APSMC brings a history of strong 0 interagency collaborative efforts and initiatives with state, local, education and other agencies. y Quality Assurance: The Ounce of Prevention monitors APSMC continual) for y Quality Assurance. Our last site visit was September 24, 25 and 26, 2019 with a satisfactory outcome and no correctiveCD CD action plan needed. B. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES > 0 With your support APSMC will be able to continue to provide prevention, intervention and 0. LO treatment services to high-risk youth and families living in Monroe County. Target youth will get off or stay off drugs, stay or go back to school, or complete a GED. APSMC staff will make monthly E contacts with providers of other programs students are involved in (i.e., drug court), as well as home and school visits. C. BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE APSMC and its programs are not duplicated by any other agency within our county. We provide the only summer youth employment program in the county, as well as the only one-of-a-kind Evidence-Based Fatherhood Initiative to fathers countywide. As of June 1, 2011, the South Florida Workforce no longer provided employment opportunities for youth under 18 years of age living in Packet Pg. 1990 Monroe County and still in school. To help offer an immediate solution A Positive Step of Monroe County, Inc. took the lead in the solicitation of jobs for youth living in Key West. This year, as in years past, there is a great need for SAFF dollars to close the funding gap between the need and the resources, allowing APSMC to again provide the Idle Hands Summer Youth Employment Program to our county's high-risk youth. D. TARGET POPULATION APSMC serves the highest risk youth and their families living in Monroe County. Twenty-five : to thirty high-risk youth in Key West and the lower keys will participate in the summer youth employment program. They will earn while they learn, working toward a standard high school 0 diploma while gaining valuable job skills in summer 2020. Additional high school dropouts, y adjudicated youth, youth aging out of foster care, youth with disabilities, and other disadvantaged youth aged 16-24 will benefit from other APSMC services. N N E. APPROACH METHOD Billy Davis, APSMC Executive Director, will work with the Key West City Manager, the Key 0 West High School, and other community partners to implement the Idle Hands summer program. Mr. LO Davis holds a Master's Degree in Substance Abuse and Mental Health Counseling and has 29 years' experience in clinical supervision, education and case management, including management and implementation of direct contracts for service with the Ounce of Prevention. Students will be recruited based on need, aptitude and risk factors. APSMC will hire an Instructor/Job Coach to recruit, train and provide supervision. Case management will be provided by other APSMC staff. APSMC will set up a two-week orientation on the campus of KWHS. The job training will include classroom exercises in teamwork, attitude, body language, anger management, listening skills, and work ethic and job safety skills. The Instructor/Job Coach will be a certified teacher or para-professional on summer break. Packet Pg. 1991 Students will then be placed in summer jobs with the City of Key West for six hours per day, five days per week for six weeks. The Instructor/Job Coach will continue working with the students, assisted by counselors on staff with APSMC and with other collaborators. Partial funding from the City of Key West's Summer Youth Employment program underwrites the jobs with the City. F. RESOURCES AND COSTS The City of Key West has supported the program for several years at a level of $25,000 to $35,000 annually. Additional matching funds have and will be generated through APSMC fundraising efforts. Collaborators include top decision makers from Florida Keys Community College, Drug Court, CareerSource South Florida, State Attorney, Public Defender, DJJ, Habitat for Humanity, local police, sheriff, clergy and more. Expense Budget for Idle Hands Summer Youth Employment Program 2 $64,800 30 Student's wages($12/hour x 6 hours/day x 5 days/week x 6 weeks) $10,000 Instructor/Job Coach(2) ($15/hour x 8 hours/day x 5 days/week x 8.33 weeks) $ 6,400 Indirect costs at 10%, including insurance, counseling, bookkeeping and administrative costs exceeding 10%will be donated to the project as in-kind contributions. $81,200 Total Expense Income CL $35,000 City of Key West LO $10,000 SAFF $35.000 Community fundraisers and direct charitable contributions $80,000 Total Income $81,200 Total Expense $80.000 Total Income ($1,200) Under this proposal, and/all received SAFF 2020 award will be applied to current budget line items for the purchase of liability insurance and state sponsored governmental indemnification or other such necessary expenditures to continue program operations and the provision of youth services. Packet Pg. 1992 J.1.e G. SUSTAINABILITY As mentioned, the City of Key West has supported the program for several years and indicates it will continue to do so. Community fundraisers are always important to balance the budget. They are well received (i.e.APSMC 5K and Fun Run, Hemmingway 5K and the Key West Half Marathon). H.

(KCF) is to provide clothing, school supplies,hygiene and other personal items to every child experiencing financial adversity in Monroe County.Kids Come First began as a line item on the County Commission budget.This social service program is essential to the development and well-being of the youth of Monroe County.Youth must have their basic needs met before they can thrive either socially or emotionally. As a result of Hurricane Irma in September 2017, and the two to three year post recovery period which the Keys are still experiencing today, it should be noted that Kids Come First of the Florida Keys, Inc., served over 4,954 needs in the 2017-2018 fiscal year period. We anticipate that once all statistical _ information has been compiled, we will have served over 4,286 clients or more, in the 2018-2019 fiscal 2 year period of October 1 through September 30', annually. In the 2016-2017 period, prior to the storm, Kids Come First served 3,817 children and their families. , 0 Kids Come First is a bare bone operation with regard to expenses as we work hand in hand daily y with the school district employees, administration and other agencies throughout the County providing y services to school aged children (ages 0-20). We have a single paid position which is that of our Executive Director, who is responsible to oversee the entire organization and our day to day activities, Kids Come First most likely has the most efficient agency outcome with regard to clients served versus expenses of administration,of all agencies serving school aged children in Monroe County. In order to continue to provide these necessary services to the children who would otherwise go W without or become a higher risk factor of potential"at risk youth"in our communities;we depend on the generosity and funding from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) Shared Assets and Forfeiture Funds(SAFF) grant,the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC)Human Services and 0) Advisory Board(HSAB)grant, and the donated space and sites provided for storage and closet inventory o by the Monroe County School District (MCSD), at the administrative office building on Trumbo Road, y and more recently at each school throughout the Florida Keys communities from Key Largo to Key West, Florida,with the creation of"mini-closets". Last but certainly no least, all remaining funds raised and used for the successful operations and services we provide is met via the passion and generosity of a very caring community, fabulous networking and professional organizations with great leadership, the residents, private donations, our c, board of directors and the many, many tireless and selfless volunteers who work all year long, to assure that the hands on work required gets done. In 2018 KCF recorded 4,404 volunteer hours,which illustrates the community-wide commitment to the youth and these much needed services. KCF's Executive Director, Mrs. Roxane Posada, donates an average of 300 hours annually to the program. The administrative infrastructure, such as grant management,accounting,agency collaboration, and oversight, is provided by the volunteer board (listed provided here). 3 Packet Pg. 1997 Kid's Come First January 22,2020 Sherifrs Shared Asset Forfeiture Fu P Grant Application Kids Come First-Board of Directors Rehecce Keenum/Chaie . 1407 Kennedy Drive,Kay West,FL 33040 ----- _ _ Motuoe County Schools-Support Staff Koleen Bethel/Secretary-Treasurer 1407 Kennedy Drive,Key West,FL 33040 - 't Monroe County schools-Support Staff Karla Castro-Bums I vca-Chair 247 Trumho -- _ Road.Key West,FT,33040 v Monroe County Schools-Administration Richard Fuentes-T --� repaoner,Director 1421 FugStreet,Key West,FL 33040 -"--�— _ Office Manager Che Cates/Director 3405 Eagle Av.,Key West,FL 33040 �g^ Realtor Elmira Leto,Directory 2832 Staples Av.,Key West,FL 33040 pp Retired/Consultant Tara Salinas,Director 1614 Truesdell Court Key Welk]rl 33040 a �„ Deputy Dvector/Samuels House Lisa Taylor,Director 100 Lake Road,Tavernier,FL 33070 � -� Monroe County schools-Principal 1 Plantation Key Zcey Hernandez Director 2807 Seiden berg Ave#2,Key Weak FL 33040 s , Case Manager Laura Lietard,Director 990010verseas Hwy,Rey Lar FL 33037 �- Sti, 1 } Monroe County Schools-Principal Key Largo Myra Wittenberg,Director 4082 Actions Drive,Ormond Bell,FL 32174 Consultant/Grant Writer Rox�Executive Director 0 507 Avenue B,Key Weak FL 33040 LL Executive Diretor tea. � ARWLcation A. Introduction As stated in our mission statement,Kids Come First in the Florida Keys Inc.(KCF)is a grassroots organization that provides necessary resources to youth experiencing financial adversity. Childrezens. n must have their basic needs met to fully develop into health `" is hands on,providing fiduciary governance as well programmatic productive supports KCF has provided these and e e KCF bo necessary services to the youth of Monroe County since early 2001 under the umbrella of the d The Change and the Monroe Youth Challenge programs. In July 2010,the KCF board was formed and Be The Change sponsored Kids Come First in the Florida Keys,Inc.,to receive a separate and distinct IRS 501 (c)(3)designation. We have continued to operate successfully since that time. B. Goals,Objectives and Outcomes Goals: 1) To provide needed resources, such as clothes, school supplies and hygiene items to youth,ages 0-20, experiencing financial adversity living in Monroe County. U 2) To ensure our clients are able to participate in major life-events such as receiving gifts during the holidays, and having appropriate clothing,materials for school events in spite of living in poverty. Objectives: A) To replenish the clothes closet in preparation for back to school. B) To cultivate volunteers and donors to support this grant project. Outcomes: 1) To keep our closet stocked at all times so responses to emergencies can be made immediately,and all regular requests can be filled within 48 hours. 2) KCF will meet or exceed the number of youth served annually,with the assistance of the Sheriff s Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund Grant. In the 2017-2018 fiscal year period,KFC served 4,954 school aged children,which was extremely high due to Hurricane Irma recovery. In the 4 Packet Pg. 1998 Kid's Come First January 22,2020 Sheriff's Shared Asset Forfeiture F ® Grant Application 2018-2019 period we estimate that the children served will be near 4,286 with decreased needs resulting in a state of return to some sort of normalcy post Hurricane Irma. 3) KCF predicts that in the 2020 period we will again see that number decrease as needs continue to reach normalcy levels;however,we do believe it will be higher than the"pre-hurricane"period of 2016-2017,which was 3,817 clients served. KCF will serve some 4,017 clients in the 2020 period. 4) KCF will achieve a 5%increase of volunteer hours served beyond that reported previously as an period. average 3,402 hours/year;by 5%,or a total of greater than 3,572 volunteer hours in the I 2020 C. Background and Significance While there are many worthwhile organizations in the Keys providing necessary services to Youth,it is unreasonable to think each agency would be equipped to provide clothing, school supplies and other resources to youth.KCF serves as the only countywide program of its kind, allowing an economy of scale. Other agencies such as Samuel's House, churches, schools, Wesley House and etc. request items from KCF when needed,and they are provided as part of our County-wide networking. 2 KCF has a single focus on purchasing, and receiving donated items, in an economical manner which is why we purchase in bulk when possible. KCF is able to organize the supplies, and distribute them systemically allowing other agencies to focus on their core mission.The number of youth served is a significant portion of the population and include the following services for 2017-2018: 0 • 3,817 homeless youth(ages 0-20)students received a care pack of toiletries,clothes, y book bag,and school supplies(when relevant). • 681 youth were served for life events(e.g.Prom,Homecoming,Holiday)* • 1,436 were served for back-to-school* *(Note: numbers served can be duplicated in some categories based on need), CD D. Target Population CD Economically disadvantaged youth,ages 0-20,who reside in Monroe County is the target population of KCF.This could include homeless or children living in poverty.Most of the students we 03 serve are designated to receive free or reduced lunch prices due to living below the national poverty line defined by the National Food Lunch Pro 0 U E. Approach Method Referrals:It is the basic philosophy of KCF that all youth should have their basic needs met, even if their parenUguardian is unable or unwilling to obtain available resources from KCF. 0 Instead of relying solely on parents/guardians,KCF serves all requests made from school 0 personnel,churches,and other social service agencies such as Wesley House,Domestic Abuse Shelter, Samuels House,as well as many other local agencies. KCF utilizes Federal Programs such as the competitive grant,Title X,through collaboration with Monroe County School District,to ensure that all youth receive any Federal benefits for which they qualify before providing services to them to avoid duplication. The Closet: The closet is organized with shelves for gender,age and sizes. If a shelf is not stocked and a referral is received that calls for that size,our coordinator has to shop specifically for that child,this is not time or cost effective.KCF takes advantage of bulk buying, sales,and outlets often combining money saving strategies stretching every dollar. The Grant Project: This project will focus on the`Back to School Drive"with requests and needs being handled in a revised fashion and coming directly from the school sites themselves,in addition to walk-in needs and email communications. Forms are now available at all school offices as are basic school supplies,uniform shirts,etc. In the 2018 period we have served more than 1,436 students with 5 Packet Pg. 1999 Kid's Come First January 22,2020 Sheriffs Shared Asset Forfeiture F J.1.f Grant Won school supplies and back packs,which represents an increase over the prior fiscal year period when we served the back pack/back to school needs of some 1,307 children. SAFF grant project funds will purchase sturdy, long last backpacks which will be stuffed with two new school outfits each,gently used outfits as available or new as needed,and all recommended school supplies for the given grade level per Monroe County School District information. The Match: Volunteers will obtain matching funds and supplies and adopt shelves as part of the "Back to School Campaign".The goal will be to match the grant project with 50 stuffed Back to School Backpacks or more if possible. Fundraising Drive: Community partnerships have formed with several businesses and civic organizations throughout the county.Centennial Bank hosts a"Back to School"Campaign each _year in which the area banks"compete"to raise the most funds.This is accomplished by placing donation jars near the tellers.Boxes are available in the lobby to place school supplies.

Grace Jones has always maintained an aggressive fundraising program. Our Board, volunteers and staff all work hard to spread the word and help raise funds. They are totally dedicated to our continued success and growth in helping children of hard-working parents in Monroe County. Sadly, even though it was more than two years ago, through most of 2019 Grace Jones was still in Hurricane Irma recovery mode. Several funders from near and wide were temporarily willing to help repair damages caused by Hurricane Irma including a very expensive fence replacement that surrounds the entire property and areas where students exercise, play, recess and are involved with sports and team-building games. The Community Foundation of the Florida Keys was approached and lent a hand, The United Way of the Florida Keys made two grant awards for hurricane recovery and Grace Jones scholarship funds to help our working parents pay for their children's cu daycare and after-school care programs. This would have been, and still is, highly difficult, if not downright impossible for many of our hardworking parents. Grace Jones families continue to migrate out of Monroe County in search of locations where working-folks can afford their own homes and some of the better things in life. The Monroe County HSAB has again partnered with Grace Jones and approved a generous grant to go toward programs and teacher salaries. The City of Marathon has decided, again, not to fund the pot of money usually distributed among all the 501C-3s in town and this is a direct blow to the financial health of Grace Jones.Your grant award, if we are fortunate enough to receive it, will go toward partially replacing that revenue source. We hope the MCSO SAFF feels comfortable and confident that their financial award will be used prudently to ensure the safety, wellbeing and educational needs of our newborn through 14-year old students. If awarded, your funds will toward teacher salaries and other program essentials. 1 Packet Pg. 2002 J.1.gj If your organization has a Board of Directors, please list their names and addresses or you must designate three or more individual residents of Monroe County to be responsible for the uses of the fund.Supply a separate page here if you like.

With this proposal, Grace Jones Community Center, Inc. (Grace Jones) is respectfully asking the Monroe County Sheriff's Forfeiture Fund for a grant of $10,000. Grace Jones has been providing award-winning affordable childcare services to thousands of children of hardworking Monroe County parents for more than 50 years. Children from newborn to age six are dropped off in our secure setting as parents head off to work for the day. These children are kept in an immaculate, well-maintained and secure setting while receiving daycare and child-development services through early-learning initiatives. These children are fed a nutritious and healthy lunch, are given adequate scheduled rest times and interact with peers and teachers in creative programs utilizing state-of-the-art Early Learning Tools and teaching methodologies. At the end of the public-school day, Grace Jones receives children of working parents from kindergarteners up to age 14 and provides them with State of Florida licensed and certified after-school care until the It parents pick them up after work to go home for the day. On workdays when public and private schools are closed Grace Jones stays open all day and provides its customary quality services. y The Grace Jones Back Packs 4 Kids program was developed out of an obvious need for our client-children to have nutritious meals when not at Grace Jones. This was brought to light when children were returning to Grace Jones after weekends at home and displaying symptoms of chronic childhood hunger—stealing food, hoarding food, asking other children for food, misbehaving in class, lethargy,and repeatedly asking when it is time to eat. The Grace Jones staff supplies backpacks loaded with child-friendly nutritious foods to be W brought home by these children with enough food to supply reasonable meals for the weekend. All of this is done at no cost to the families. The backpacks and food supplied are paid for by Grace Jones through donations. In total, Grace Jones Back Packs for Kids distributes more than 50 backpacks per week, which adds up to an amazing 2,500 backpacks per year. o With up to 85 children in the Grace Jones daycare services and 50 children enrolled in the Grace Jones a Back Packs 4 Kids program annually, the need for financial assistance through the Sheriff's Asset Forfeiture Fund has never been greater. Hurricane Irma has taken a toll on working Monroe County parents. Without Grace Jones's subsidized, affordable childcare options, many of these parents would have been forced to choose between leaving their children unattended and at risk for child predators, drug dealers and exposure to crime...or to give up their Jobs and relocate outside of Monroe County. With dedicated, specially trained and certified childcare professionals and the financial assistance of generous long-standing funding sources like the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, Grace Jones has been able to nurture these at-risk children through their formative years in a safe, licensed, APPLE certified and Gold Seal of Excellence Award winning environment. We could not be prouder of what we do and of your generous support and financial assistance. This grant award will go directly toward the care of these children and will have positive effects on their siblings and the parents working hard to provide them with the best life they can. Your grant award will assist Grace Jones in its mission to supply the best services -to the most children in need -at the lowest cost. Your grant award will be used to partially fund food for the Grace Jones Back Packs 4 Kids program, salaries (for teachers and childcare specialists only)and utilities. 4 Packet Pg. 2005 J.1.gj THE APPLICATION Here you should include(limit sip es): A. Introduction, Describe the overall organization, its qualifications relevant this request, and its capacity to manage the project. Grace Jones eras s five days per week, providing mealsand educational programs for newborns to age six, as well as after-school programs for Monroe County school students to 14 years of age. We have been caring for the children of families in treed in Monroe County since the 9 's when Grace Jones, a Bahamian immigrant, recognized the lack of services for minority children in our then racially segregated society. U. Today, Grace Jones is one of the finest day care centers in the entire United States serving children of more than 100 working-poor familiesannually; who are the essence of our service, construction, tourism, and o U. fishing economy. While the parents of our working-poor neighbors balance two and even three jobs just to � survive, Grace Jones provides therm with ghat the State of Florida has certified as the highest level of y affordable day care. This includes skill-based development initiatives, healthy meals, and a secure environment. These at-risk children suffer a variety of disadvantages, which typically include delayed development, isolation, malnutrition and neglect. Grace Jones possesses all the qualifications and dedicationnecessary to successfully sustain its life- changing and life-saving services for children of working parents in Monroe County and efficiently aae its fiscal responsibilities. Year after year, Grace Jones continues to achieve the highest ratings from the State of Florida regarding our certifications, program delivery and general effectiveness.The Grace Jones Community Center was recognized for meeting the highest standards o excellence in the State o Florida once in o .i receiving the prestigious GoldSat School Excellence Award. Along with y , that, the Grace Jones Community Center earned a perfect 100% yearly � assessment scare provided by the Early Learning Coalition, the entity n responsible for licensing and partially funding day care organizations in the j Florida Keys. re. Always striving for perfection, Grace Jones achieved the prestigious Accredited Professional Preschool Learning n ironm nt (APPLE) certification from the Florida Association for Child Care Management (FACC ), which ensures continuous training and monitoring for exceptional quality and effectiveness in a childcare facility. B. Goals, Objectives and Outcomes (What needs o be done), Supply documentation of the need if it is available. This application seeks assistance from the Monroe County Sheriff's Asset Forfeiture Fund to be used to help the most economically vulnerable families with children enrolled at Grace Jones to continue doing so. The day-to-day struggles to maintain quality-family-lifestyles of many of the fam lies served by Grace Jones are heartbreaking and many times go unnoticed. 5 Packet Pg. 2006 J.1.gj The hardworking parents of Monroe County are taking another financial hit. State and federal funding continues to destabilize and decline, and private funding sources are unsure of future rulings. These factors add up to a "perfect storm" of increased costs and declining revenue for families in Monroe County as well as nationwide. With that said, Grace Jones is prepared to carry out its mission of supplying affordable and safe afterschool and daycare services for children of hard-working Monroe County parents. Grace Jones continues to increase fundraising efforts through community events, written appeals, speaking engagements, email blasts, concentrated foundation mailings and targeted individual grant proposals. This work is ongoing and never-ending.The Grace Jones Board and staff are 100% committed to the children and families they serve. They are also 100% committed to "roll up their sleeves" and hit the pavement in search of funding opportunities and funding sources. It is a labor of love. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office, and the Asset Forfeiture Fund, can rest assured that its generous financial support is appreciated and much needed. It is crucial that human services dollars be spent as efficiently and effectively as possible and spent only on the most critical services. Keeping the children of 0 working parents safe and healthy is paramount in the minds of educators, politicians, parents, medical professionals, mental health professionals,funders and law enforcement agencies. y Grace Jones is a beacon of hope in a world that often « `. �IASF 111 t8 exposes children to bad behaviors, scenes of violent �� } {�� ' � t �� t v) death, drug culture, substance abuse, shopping mail �t, x 'i shootings and school massacres. Working parents cannot perform well at work with these dangers in the backs of their minds. Together, Grace Jones and the Monroe County Sheriffs Office offer protection to our local school-age children and their families by chipping away at these evils while teaching healthier lifestyles, inculcating socially acceptable behaviors and raising the ' E levels of early-learning achievements among our ° =' �� t ��E 0 Count children. " �� U Monroe y As we like to say, our children are only 20%of our population,but 100%of our future. � 0 Our families are made up of low-income working parents and hundreds of children who all too often are underserved physically and emotionally. In the midst of all of this,Grace Jones is here for Monroe County families who are "playing by the rules" but need the extra help of assisted day care for their children...while they work. Without question,there is a critical need for safe and affordable day care for our Florida Keys workforce and Grace Jones provides this critical service at an award-winning level of quality. The outcome of this grant request is to ensure that all of our families and their children continue to benefit from the excellent services provided by Grace Jones. C. Background and Significance(Why the project is important to the community) As discussed above,funding for programs like Grace Jones has been reduced drastically. Childcare agencies less resilient than Grace Jones are closing their doors permanently and leaving a void in access to quality childcare. This loss of provider options has caused an increase in the need for affordable childcare for working parents. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 43.6 million people in America are now living in poverty. One thing is certain; in our volatile local economy,the working-poor families who benefit from the services provided by Grace Jones need us more than ever. 6 Packet Pg. 2007 J.1.gj D.Target Population(Who will be served specifically?Age?Gender?Special circumstances) In this proposal's abstract, we described the day-to-day existence and struggles of the families with children enrolled at Grace Jones. We also described our target population as all too often being "heartbreaking," consisting of low-income working families and hundreds of unintentionally neglected children. Their pain is clear. To be blunt; many of these children are in crisis, nutritionally, emotionally, academically, and socially. These are the very children and families who benefit from Grace Jones services. The42, ° parents and guardians of Grace Jones clients - u feel comfortable in the knowledge that their children are safe, secure and learning the , u�� social and academic skills necessary to grow and maintain healthy lifestyles. They can ��'�� o concentrate on making their livings and �', �, �'` �' _ L_a, providing for their children without the nagging thoughts of childhood violence, E risky unsupervised time at home alone and L the well-documented dangers associated with `latchkey" kids. The Grace Jones population-served consists of children ages newborn to 14 years old; 50% male; 50% female; 40% Caucasian; 38% Hispanic and 20% African American. Most, if not all, of the Grace Jones children and families are low-to-middle income LMI with working( ) g parents,or a working single parent. E. Approach Method. (How will the project be done? Where will it be done? When? What staffing is required?) Grace Jones provides what the State of Florida says is the highest level of affordable day care and elementary education, including skill-based development, meals, and a secure environment for at-risk children at the facility located at 230 41" Street in Marathon, Florida. This is the original location where Grace Jones was first opened 61 years ago in 1958. In 1997, after Hurricane Wilma totally destroyed the Grace Jones building, it was torn down and completely rebuilt. Grace Jones employs 12 fulltime paid staff members, 2 part-time paid staff members and a fiercely devoted corps of well-known community volunteers. r� The Grace Jones Back Packs 4 Kids program is run out of this some facility. The backpacks are loaded and o maintained at this location and then distributed to Grace Jones clients as they go home for the weekends. 7 Packet Pg. 2008 F. Resources and costs. (How much will it cost? Include detailed budget. What other resources are available for the project? Describe the organization's fiscal capabilities.) A detailed budget appears below.

As well, Jill heads up the very important and by-far largest fundraiser each year (the Light Up Blue: Autism Awareness Event). This fundraiser is very well attended and maintains a number of sponsors, co supporters, donors and local businesses who donate time, equipment,food and silent-auction items.This year,the annual "LIGHT UP BLUE:AUTISM AWARENESS EVENT"will be held in April, at the Marathon Hampton Inn. In 2019 your generous grant of$5,791.71 helped supply Monroe County children, suffering with autism, and their families with much-needed financial assistance for critical health care services, autism specific equipment, clothing, autism specific iPads and a host of other needs. ASK has also received grant awards from the Monroe County HSAB, the City of Marathon, the renowned University of Miami CARD (Center for Autism and Related Disorders,Ocean Reef, several Rotary chapters, local foundations, businesses and individuals. As you know,ASK has established programs and support groups across the whole of Monroe County which meet in Key West, Marathon and Tavernier. AKS's goals for 2020 are to develop new clients and funding sources and continue expanding our presence throughout Monroe County. Our social media pages are alive with visitors that become support-group members and help each other, as well as becoming ASK volunteers.

CD cv W Applicant's Signature Name: Jill Ca bell,Executive Director k (Printed) N 00 i'�3A1 d1 �x E p� 1 It } t 3 Packet Pg. 2013 Abstract: The Autism Society of the Keys (ASK), is a grassroots IRS designated 501(c)(3) organization founded on March 12, 2009. We are respectfully requesting your kind consideration of our financial support request to assist in providing critical services for children and families suffering from autism. Your grant award will be used toward purchasing and distributing iPads/tablets to young people with autism, providing GPS locators, assistance with medical expenses, insurance copayments and deductibles, assisting with costs for initial screenings, other therapies and therapeutic activities, child-friendly autism related products, equipment and materials. Although ASK is physically based in Tavernier, Florida, its services are provided throughout the entire Florida Keys. A little-known, and extremely surprising fact...autism is the greatest health epidemic in the world today. There are approximately 136 new diagnoses every day. Incredibly, that's one every 11 minutes; more than diabetes, leukemia, Down syndrome and AIDS combined (the American Academy of Pediatrics). There is help. There is treatment. But many families find it difficult, if not downright impossible to find treatment providers, support systems and understanding families affected by o autism in our woefully underserved county. We need your financial support to continue y providing services to the growing number of Florida Keys boys and girls afflicted by autism and y to the parents and loved ones struggling to understand this horrible, and many times overlooked, undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed disorder. Your funds will also be used to bolster our outreach initiatives, enhance the reach of our autismCD awareness workshops and seminars throughout the Florida Keys, and grow our existing network of community volunteers and supportive medical professionals. Administrative costs at ASK are extremely low and met through non-restricted funds from our well-attended fundraising events and established donors. There is never a fee for our afflicted participants or o their families. T) The Board and volunteers of ASK are committed to solving problems, making valuable resource CO referrals, offering understanding peer support groups and educational workshops. ASK provides materials, products, contracted therapeutic services and assistance with insurance deductibles and initial Autism Spectrum Disorder screening and diagnostics. As you are well aware, in 2019,ASK, in collaboration with the University of Miami CARD program, sponsored and provided the professionally-facilitated educational seminar attended by law-enforcement, other first responders, and the public, to help them further understand the special needs and characteristics of children, and adults, with autism.This event, with your help, was highly successful. This year, the Pepsi-Cola corp. donated $5,000 to wrap a Key West Police car for Autism Awareness Month which will remain on display, spreading the word, March,April and May. r�...,a, _- Mission Statement, The Autism Society of the Keys' mission statement is to } provide services to children and families affected by autism I to improve their quality of life. ��,.�.�acm ,tt _ .ar..i.,.� �.,z Wiz,xn�t., ma.a..a.xru.mm��rrs�msmmne;,;r�..0 i ma z vc,,� sunnri' 4 Packet Pg. 2014 THE APPLICATION Here you should include(limit six pages): A. Introduction. Describe the overall organization, its qualifications relevant to this request, and its capacity to manage the project. ASK is a true grassroots organization founded by Craig and JIII Campbell when their then two- and-a-half-year-old son, Craig,was diagnosed with autism: "Our son, Craig, was diagnosed with autism at two and a half years old. We knew nothing about autism, except for the movie "Rainman." Little did we know that it would soon consume everyday of our lives. The diagnosis was devastating, and the prognosis was worse. We were told that Craig would never speak, never play with other children, or be potty trained. The doctor continued to say that we should try not to medicate him for as long as we could, and to be prepared for institutionalization. When the shock wore off, we prayed and prayed then went on-line and started researching." 0 Still reeling from this devastating and seemingly hopeless news,the Campbells were stunned y by the lack of: 1) public understanding 2) general knowledge concerning autism and 3) local resources: "I had never heard the word autism before Craig became sick, and I was searching for what his symptoms and treatments might be. Doctors believe the earlier a diagnosis and treatment plan is started, the better outcomes and possibility of recovery that child has. In our quest to )save our son, we spent our entire life savings, home, land and every bit of credit helping our tt q5 �t child by finding services [which were] onlyP ,' U ` t' u 00 provided in Miami. We drove to Miami for doctors, therapists and services six days a week for three years. Sadly, my story is not unique. Families at war with autism are hurting. incredibly, divorce among families of a child with disabilities is over 0%. It hurts the entire family and community. We, at ASK, are committed to helping our community support these children, by offering guidance and assistance in any way we can. I was told my son would probably never be potty trained, communicate or socialize with his peers. I am so grateful to say, that this was not true. My son is now 14 years old. He is in 91 grade with no special support needed, is an excellent student, eats,plays, talks and has many fantastic friendships!" 5 Packet Pg. 2015 B.Goals,Objectives and Outcomes(What needs to be done). Autism is woefully misunderstood. Comments such as, "Why can't you take better care of yourself? Why do you always interrupt? Why don't you sit quietly and give your mother a chance to relax?" - do nothing to improve the situation. Children with autism need diverse, and in some cases, very individualized services. The Campbell's understand this. They gave up their personal possessions in the fight against autism. They are dedicated and totally committed to never resting until no child, or family, is suffering from the damages of this crippling disorder or the fallout from misguided and uninformed public misconception.Jill's passion is heartwarming and inspiring. ASK Rtovlfts. • Autism-specific services, products, equipment and therapies. • Legal assistance and emotional support while navigating the many times confusing, overwhelming and cumbersome Public-School system. • Monthly Keys-wide rotating workshops on autism awareness, environmental toxins,vaccine education, biomedical treatments, therapies, available resources, Public-School system updates and ever-changing autism-related current events. 0 • A community of volunteer families that are available to act as a support group to one another through our ever-growing social media outlets, social gatherings, y telephone and email. • Information through press releases, speaking engagements and social media about upcoming conferences, news broadcasts and available outside and government resources for autism assistance. • Books and DVDs geared for children and adults addressing, among other topics, the "Red Flag" symptoms of autism and the available treatment modalities. • Volunteer-run informal meeting venues where families of children with autism 0 can meet with peers affected by autism for support and social activities. • Financial assistance with professional services expenses,for those affected by E autism including help to meet insurance deductibles, initial screening expenses or critical services beyond their ability to pay co co • Availability by phone, email or Facebook to talk, answer questions and help in any way we can. Autism prevalence fi ores are rowing (2019): • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates autism's prevalence as 1 in 59 children in the United States. • An estimated 1 out of 37 boys and 1 in 151 girls are diagnosed with autism in the United States. • Boys are 4 times more likely than girls to have autism • Autism is estimated to affect more than 3 million individuals in the U.S. • Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. • Autism costs the nation over$268 billion per year, a figure expected to significantly increase in the next decade • Autism receives approximately 5%of the government research funding of many less prevalent childhood diseases 6 Packet Pg. 2016 • While there is no medical detection or known cure for autism,thousands of children have shown significant improvement resulting from early diagnosis and use of effective interventions C. Background and Significance(Why the project is important to the community) Everybody knows a child or family affected by this debilitating disorder. In fact, as many as one-in-68 children across the United States will be diagnosed with autism. Until ASK became established, a consistent and structured program of autism education, peer support and educational workshops has never been maintained in the Florida Keys or Monroe County. Hundreds of young people in need are still going unnoticed or untreated.The parents and families of these misunderstood children are often shunned and ignored by otherwise well- meaning and supportive neighbors and acquaintances. These children are often seen as difficult or troublesome. In today's world, these attitudes are distressing yet all too common. ASK's dedication to outreach and education is the beacon of hope that sheds light on this devastating disorder and its tendency to isolate innocent boys and girls from the norms of society. D. Target Population (Who will be served specifically?Age? Gender?Special circumstances) ASK will provide its critical and life-changing services to any Florida Keys boy, girl or family affected by autism. ASK will also provide support, education, autism awareness and referral services to any individual who is concerned with or seeking services for a loved one with autism. ASK has a 100% nondiscrimination policy and will never turn away those in need for any reason including the lack of ability to pay. There is never a charge for ASK services, workshops, products or programs. o T) E.Approach Method. (How will the project be done? Where will it be done?When?What staffing is required?) CO ASK is run almost totally with volunteer help. The Sheriff's Asset Forfeiture Fund donation will go 0) toward direct services and products for autism affected individuals and families. Press releases, social media, speaking engagements at civic organizations, fund raising events and grant writing are all parts of the overall promotional components of ASK. ASK has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception. ASK now has 1,000 Facebook followers, 50 volunteers and provides services to more than 300 girls and boys suffering with autism and their families throughout the Florida Keys. ASK provides regularly scheduled autism awareness workshops and seminars in Key West, Marathon and Tavernier. 7 Packet Pg. 2017 F. Resources and costs. (How much will it cost?

Po ,, plicant's Name_Keith Lafountain � (Printed) — Packet Pg. 2023 J.1.i Abstract Third Page of the Application (Limit of one page): A brief summary of the project(who, what, where, why, when, how and how much). Kreative Kids Christian Academy (Kreative Kids) located at 4711 Overseas Highway, Marathon, Florida, is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization and part of the Marathon New Life Assembly of clod, Inc. Kreative Kids is an Early Learning Coalition (ELC) School Readiness Provider, and a State of Florida Gold Seal Quality of Care recipient. Since its inception in 1998, Kreative Kids has grown steadily and now has a projected enrollment of up to 75 students for 2020. The continued enrollment number is proof of the critical need for certified and accredited subsidized daycare and after-school programs in the City of Marathon to educate and keep the children of working parents safe and secure while the parents work. Kreative Kids operates a "Summer Camp" program to house, educate and protect our young boys and girls of c working parents while public schools are on summer break. Summer Camp students spend the entire workday at y Kreative Kids and are provided with a consistent routine, nutritious snacks, educational instruction, outdoor `h playtime, field trips and a healthy and safe environment. During the summer of 2020, we expect up to 60 school- aged children to attend while their parents work one or more jobs to provide for their families. This grant request is to help Kreative Kids provide the much-needed summer program. Your donation will be used to partially fund teacher salaries, school equipment, utilities and approved field trips. We thank you for your continued support of this program.Funds from the SAFF grant enable us to provide a safe and secure environment in which we keep our students off the streets while learning healthy lifestyles, positive decision making, independence and increased awareness of their surroundings. Kreative Kids is still recovering, after more than two years, from the destruction and financial stresses of Hurricane Irma and the repercussions from that devastating event that completely destroyed our facility. Kreative ca Kids has been totally rebuilt, with the help of countless financial donations, volunteer labor and grants such as yours. We are back in our pre-storm facility and back to full capacity enrollment. Being out of our building for nearly nine months while we rebuilt, we were forced to find temporary housing and could only accept about 30% of our students, causing a huge hit to our income base. Kreative Kids is rebounding and hope to recover completely by the end of 2020. Kreative Kids' annual budget is $264,000. The Summer Camp program budget, including teacher salaries is Q5 $35,000. Client fees, donations and fundraisers make up nearly $25,000 of this budget leaving a shortfall of approximately $10,000. Our grant request is for$10,000. We are proud to be part of the Sheriff's Office's battle 20 to stop crime against children and look forward to being part of your team again. Packet Pg. 2024 J.1.i THE_APPLICATION Here you should include: A. Introduction. Describe the overall organization, its qualifications relevant to this request, and its capacity to manage the project. Kreative Kids Christian Academy(Kreative Kids), located at 4711 Overseas Highway, Marathon, Florida. Kreative Kids is an "Early Learning Coalition School Readiness Provider, and a State of Florida Gold Seal Quality of Care Provider. Since its inception in 1998, Kreative Kids has grown to a consistent enrollment of up to 75 students. Kreative Kids provides all-day care and education for ages 1 through 5 and after-school care for ages 5-11 as well as an established and popular Summer Camp for children of Kindergarten age through 11 years old. Many parents work multiple jobs for minimum wage and live at or below poverty level. 2 Kreative Kids offers tuition on a sliding scale and gets additional support from grants, fundraisers and community support. 0 B. Goals, Objectives and Outcomes (What needs to be done). Supply documentation of the need if it is y available. The goal of Kreative Kids is to offer a safe and healthy child-care facility to as many local working parents of the Middle Keys as possible. The need in our community for dependable and trust-worthy N childcare is great. A recent FamilyLives.org article discussed research by the Daycare Trust, that found affordable childcare during the summer school break is one of the biggest headaches for working parents. Kreative Kids daycare programs keep children from being left unsupervised and exposed to dangers of child predators, drug abusers, accidents, criminal activities and injuries. C. Background and Significance (Why the project is important to the community). Many Monroe County families would not be able to work during the summer to provide for their families without subsidized, qualified and licensed daycare/summer camp. Kreative Kids provides this. The high costs, and difficulties finding suitable daycare/after-school-care programs, can be overwhelming. Only too often, parents end up taking unpaid leave to care for their children, which negatively affects family budgets and puts extra strain on already financially strapped working parents. According to an article published by the YMCA, some of the major benefits of summer camp for kids are as follows: Develops Lifelong Skills Builds Self-Esteem Promotes Independence Supports Healthy Living Makes Time for Play Nurtures Friendships Teaches Teamwork Teaches Kids to Respect Differences Teaches Resiliency Keeps Kids Intellectually Engaged Provides Fun"Screen-Free" (No cell phones/ Promotes Growth in a Safe Environment electronic devices) Activities Gives Children a Sense of Purpose Encourages a Connection with Nature Packet Pg. 2025 J.1.i Working parents require a secure, Early Learning certified school environment far their children whi e they work. Knowing their children will be safe and protected, educated and guided, nurtured and loved, is a tremendous benefit not only to the parents and families, but to our entire community. D. Target Population (Who will be served specifically? Age? Gender? Special circumstances) Kreative Kids offers summer camp for boys and girls ages 5 through 11. The children come from varied backgrounds and ethnicity. Most are from low to middle income families. E. Approach Method. (How will the project be done? Where will it be done? When? What staffing is required?) Kreative Kids Christian Academy is located at 4711 Overseas Highway in Marathon, Florida. All F programs take place at this location other than approved field trips to local attractions. The complete facility has recently been rebuilt due to destruction by Hurricane Irma. Everything in the facility is 2 new including the classrooms, outdoor play areas, kitchen facilities and bathrooms. All teachers are background-checked, trained and certified by the State of Florida and the Early Learning Coalition. Trained and certified staff is provided with the required ratio of students per teacher. Hours are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. y F. Resources and costs. (How much will it cost? Include detailed budget. What other resources are available for the project? Describe the organization's fiscal capabilities.)

It later expanded by offering the Life Recovery Group to all who were seeking recovery from addictionsthe stresses of life. At the request of the Guidance/Care Center of the Middle Keys (Mental ealt bst ce Abuse Clinic),the Ministry began a faith-based program there. Many are at the Guidance/Care Cent (that includes a Detoxification U `t) due to drug and alcohol abuse. In conjunction with the al ` 's ce of Dade Correctional Institution,the Ministry began a recovery program at the Bigw Pine Key Road Prisonalso began Sunday Services.

The Life Recovery Group was begun in April, 2000. e are requesting a grant of: 6,000.00._ E Packet Pg. 2030 The Last Resort Ministry, Inc -4- THE APPLICATION A. Introduction. The Last Resort Ministry, Inc. began by serving the sixty inmates of the Marathon Detention Center and their families and has been doing so since 1995. The was a brief pause of several months due to the closing oft e Detention Center after Hurricane Irma. The Life Recovery Group has been meeting for more than nineteen years. At the request of the Guidance/Care Center of the Middle Keys,the Ministry began a program for their patients over eighteen years ago. We had a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program for fourteen years for the sixty-four inmates at the Big Pine Key Road Prison as well as Sunday Services for over five years. Due to the closing of the Road Prison in April, 2017, the Ministry no longer provides services there. There will be continuing prison stry involvement at Dade Correction Institution in Florida City. The Ministry is staffed by volunteers from churches in Monroe County and is governed by a four person Board of Directors. It is a Florida non-profit corporation and a 0 U_ private, non-profit organization pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3). The Ministry has W been in continual operation since its first program at the Marathon Detention Ch Center in 1995. The strength of the Ministry is in the quality of its volunteers. These qualities U) include a shared compassion for and understanding of the misfortune, or decisions and obstacles confronting prisoners and those struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and mental illness. The Ministry provides a spiritual base and a belief in the healing power of prayer and Christian fellowship. Specific training has been provided through the resources of the international organization of Prison Fellowship. All volunteers have a willingness to commit and put oneself on the firing line"by working with residents at the Marathon Detention Center, 0 Guidance/Care Center, Dade Correctional Institution and the community at large. Some of the services and activities undertaken by the Ministry include: * Personal and group meetings with jail/prison inmates and with in- patient clinic residents weekly. Personal meetings upon request. • Direction and assistance in handling basic living problems upon release(rehabilitation, shelter,transportation and daily living routines). E • Providing transportation to the home, rehabilitation facility, family or job location if not a Marathon resident. • Family assistance (such as food, living expenses and counseling). • Dealing with addictions -not limited only to drug and alcohol. • Rehabilitation placement, employment assistance and church attendance and membership. • Christmas programs for the inmates at the Marathon Detention Center resumed in 2019 after its re-opening. • Encouraging Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous (Twelve Step Groups) attendance if appropriate. • Life Recovery Group (Biblical Twelve Step Recovery Program) begun April, 2000. Refreshments of food and soft drinks are served. This group is approved by the Probation Office. I Packet Pg. 2031 The Last Resort Ministry, Inc -5- 's support is provided by person-to-person and group meetings through `c Ministry volunteers get to know and build relationships with those that are served. Upon release from the Marathon Detention Center or Guidance/Care Center gone may avail themselves of the Thursday evening eet` s of the Life Recovery Group. In addition Ministry volunteers e available to assist anyone with emergencies that arise. We are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The rationale ieess of the Ministry is that it is the only Christian- centered,totally volunteer, faith-based organization in the Marathon area that is reaching out to those that are confined to jail,prison or a mentalstittion e receives x l r ° or reimbyngMent r the time or service or i ` it e.',tpenses devotedto the Minisirr. B. Goals. ectives Ob , d Outcomes. The Ministry is toe its ability to provide more assistance to more people. This has been made possible by the award of the grants from SAFF, local churches and private individuals. The Ministryexpanded its ability to serve to the Guidance/Care Center andy crease the amount of assistance provided to the inmates of the Marathon Detention Center and Dade Correctional Institution. As our base increases so do our needs for additional funding. With more funds the Ministry will be ale to attract more volunteers and expand its work—this is because supporting services cost more money. Specific examples to reinforce this point e: N W 1. After-Car e SupL)ort Outreach: Subsidizing short-termhousingfor fo er detainees upon release, during job search ' e becoming self-supporting is a growingd vital need. Having a stable, safe place in which to live during the critical early days after release makes positive difference in enabling person to restart life success hilly. This is expensive and the Ministry remains limited in being able,to list with housing d food needs. so outreach to others ' the community dealing with addictive vior and mental health needs. a, 2. Transportatio : Primarily transportation for relocation: to find jobs,to attend rehabilitation programs and to find housing. We are continually called upon to provide help to indigent transients. Providing transportation out of Monroe County accomplishes this. Costs continue to rise. 3. I ate_ esidet Sup": There is an ever-increasing need for materials to be provided those that are institutionalized. This applies to those locally and those that have been sent to state prisons and will eventually be released back to society. The Ministry provides materials to those in o oe and Dade Counties as well as those from Monroe Countythat have been sent to serve their terms oincarceration in other state prisons. This includes funds for hygiene articles and personal items that must be purchased. e maintain contact by correspondence and assistance during and upon release. e are able to testify to the above examples with specific cases. Packet Pg. 2032 The Last Resort Ministry, Inc -6- C. BackLiound.and 'q;mpe.Si--gra Lfi . The Marathon Detention Center has a capacity of 60 inmates. The Guidance/Care Center of the Middle Keys has a capacity of 20 patients- 11 beds for the Crisis Stabilization it, 7 beds for Detoxification, and 2 beds reserved for placement to a Residential Treatment Facility. Dade Correctional Institution has a potential population of 1,521 inmates. Many are without human and spiritual resources to assist thenL Lacking these resources the risk of recidivism increases substantially. Upon their release, many will begin or return to living in the Keys. There are also untold homeless and transients in our area. Therefore, it is directly in the best interest,not only of the homeless and transit or former inmate/patient, but also of the community,that they successfully restart their lives. The Ministry is directly aimed at helping this to happen- D. T et P —;g o)ulatfion.

These conditions and situations may include stress from addictions, loss of job, inadequate income,exasperated health issues, conflict or abuse within household,to name just a few. Mental Health and substance issues are the leading cause for violent crimes, including domestic violence,within the community. Monroe County currently rates among the highest in the state for domestic violence, divorce,suicide, and addictions per FDLE and S FL Health Council reports.Additionally,the inequity o between the high cost of living and the low income throughout the county coupled with the fact that 42%of working age residents do not have health insurance or their insurance does not adequately cover their required prescriptions, opens a demand for our Rx assistance program. These vital programs could not serve to improve living for our neighbors without the support provided by the fees covered. 0 How: By providing treatment to members of the Upper Keys community who would otherwise be unable to afford the necessary services,the ultimate result will show a reduction in violent crime, as well as healthcare,criminal justice and social services costs. Not only will the individual be helped with r- counseling but also their household and ultimately,the economy and safety of our communal livelihood 0) in the Keys.Treatments will directly result in reduced medical and criminal costs to the community. Treatments will also reduce the prevalence of chronic mental and medical conditions among our residents. How much:We are requesting a total of$10,000 3 Packet Pg. 2042 A. Introduction D.O.L.P.H.I.N.S. is a 501c3 established in 2001. Our mission is to reduce domestic violence through counseling and education by empowering the community to create - ifferent D ptions for iving, laying,and ; oping n on-violence and afety. There are two DBAs(doing business as) under D.O.L.P.H.I.N.S.: Living Springs Counseling and Living Waters Rx Project. This grant request falls under Living Springs Counseling. D.O.L.P.H.I.N.S. The Founder and CEO of Living Springs Counseling The Rev. Dr. Pamela Feeser,CPC, is appointed to this community and organization by the Bishop of the United Methodist Church in the Florida Conference for full time ministry to the Upper Keys as an Ordained pastor and Certified Pastoral Counseling Chaplain. The Bishop and the United Methodist Endorsing Agency have also fully Endorsed Rev. Dr. Feeser as a Certified Pastoral Counselor Chaplain. The Association for Clinical Pastoral Education upholds Rev. Dr. Feeser's certification as Pastoral Counselor,CPC. In addition to her highly-specialized training as a Pastoral Counselor,Dr. Feeser has also completed professional training(and licensing in PA)as an educator as well as completed over 30 years' y experience writing curriculum's and providing both counseling and educational services. Demand for her workshops and educational services has been popular for years. Dr. Feeser is a 20+year resident of the Upper Keys having served the community as Pastor, Pastoral Counselor, and volunteering for FKOC through AmeriCorps VISTA,Take Stock in Children, UK public schools cv music programs and as a board member of the Monroe County Homeless Continuum of Care. She has also provided leadership through Business and Professional Women,Salvation Army Advisory,and Healthy Start Coalition. She is also a member of the best class XIX of Leadership Monroe. As a pastoral counselor, her principal areas of focus are depression,grief,faith/spiritual issues, abuse recovery and marriage/couples counseling. Among other educational opportunities,she also provides a 9-week parenting class,ACT Parenting. She is trained in this class through the Melissa Institute of Miami. Judge Garcia,of the family court, has approved this class to fulfill o court mandated parenting classes in Monroe County. Dr. Feeser celebrates over 5 successful classes graduating from this program. DOLPHINS offers the only Certified Pastoral Counseling(CPC) in Monroe County.Although we _ offer counseling incorporated with spirituality, not all counseling is spiritual based. We serve a o diverse community, some that have no faith affiliation as well as those of differing faiths;we are here to meet the spiritual needs of all who ask. As servants of God, it is our calling to serve all God's people, not just the ones that follow a faith. We offer a generous sliding fee scale. Many times,an individual in need of counseling,cannot wait and/or an individual may request that their counseling include the added necessity of faith. Included are some impacting statistics in Monroe County: • 42%of Upper Keys, Florida residents between the ages of 18-60 have no health insurance. • Housing in Monroe County, FL is 86%more expensive than the rest of Florida. Retail cost is 37%more expensive than the rest of Florida (BEBR) • Income is 7%higher than the rest of Florida (BEBR) • Monroe County, FL is ranked as#1 in the nation for addictions (both alcohol and drug), suicide, domestic violence and divorce. (BEBR) 4 Packet Pg. 2043 • Although 58%of the Keys population between 18-60 HAVE insurance, many do not have coverage for mental health services until they meet deductibles. These realities make it sometimes impossible for individuals and families in need to gain access to immediate assistance. Some clients are court-ordered to seek counseling. We are court recognized. Many times,our services are chosen by an individual because of our unprecedented level of confidentiality,compassion and concern for their health and wellbeing. DOLPHINS counselors are recognized throughout the region for their expertise in domestic violence counseling. Increased costs of living further complicate individual and family dysfunctionalities. Assisting 1 adult family member will have a positive effect on the remaining household members, many times including dependent children. Per the 2015 ALICE Report,40%of single female households with children live in poverty. B. Goals/Objectives/Outcomes The community of Monroe County is a federally designated underserved rural community. a, Forty-two percent of residents between the ages of 18 and 60 have no health insurance even with the new Obama care. (HCSF)The retail wage index is 80%higher in housing and 37% higher in retail cost while wages are only 7%higher. (BEBR) Living Springs Counseling uses a y generous sliding scale to charge our clients. We invite our clients that gross under$20,000 to pay$5 per session if they can. The attitude of these clients has been one of great appreciation and they are encouraged to better their lives,so they can pay something. Those who have no possibility of making their financial future better(those who are on disability)are encouraged to pay it forward. These clients do reach out helping others in worse shape than themselves and thus gain self-respect. We are creating the building blocks of community through this process. We are also making good mental health accessible to the lowest earning group of our community. o Our collective goal is to empower the community to create different options for living, playing . , and hoping in non-violence and safety(D.O.L.P.H.I.N.S.). In effect, undermining the hold m domestic violence and substance abuse has on our community. o 0 Objectives: y 1. Provide appropriate space to carry out the programs above for the grant period. _ 2. Provide the electronic support necessary to appropriately carry out the programs above o for the grant period. 3. Participate in educational and professional accountability groups to appropriately carry out the programs above for the grant period. Outcomes: 1. Clients will be empowered to share and grow by having a space that ensures confidentiality and comfort. 2. Clients confidentiality will be ensured by HIPAA compliant signature,email,and fax services. 3. Clients will receive professional services from an appropriately trained and accountable Pastoral Counselor and Executive Director. C. Why project is important to our community 5 Packet Pg. 2044 DOLPHINS goal is to empower the individual to create new ways to live and live out those ways. DOLPHINS work with the client in self assessments to set and attain their goals for healthier living. Self-assessments are used as a tool to help the client measure their progress and reassess goals as needed. It must be noted that Certified Pastoral Counseling(CPC) differs from services offered by a church pastor where best practice is 3-4 sessions and then referred to professional counseling such as CPC or services offered through a mental health provider. A prior year grant request indicated that we would be moving into a new facility to be more accessible to our Keys residents.We did finalize that move. With that move brought monthly expenses for rent. This office expense is directly associated with counseling and RX services. Additionally, since Irma,the number of sessions and clients has doubled. The communityof Monroe Count is a federal) designated underserved rural community. Y� Y g Y Forty-two percent of residents between the ages of 18 and 60 have no health insurance even with the new Obama care.

W We are also making good mental health accessible to the lowest earning group of our community. The industry average fee is$85-$135 per session. Our projected FY 2020 number of sessions is 200. Our session rate is below the industry standard at$70 per session. Our targeted revenues v, are$14,000. DOLPHINS offers a sliding fee scale calculated by(Household Income/2) multiplied 0 by.001. Residents who need counseling but cannot afford it will continually spiral downward because of overwhelming chronic conditions and situations. These conditions and situations may include stress from Hurricane Irma, addictions, loss of job, inadequate income,exasperated health issues,conflict or abuse within household,to name just a few. Mental Health and _ substance issues are the leading cause for violent crimes within the community. Not only will o the individual be helped with counseling but also their household and ultimately,the economy and state of our communal livelihood in the Keys.Treatments will directly result in reduced medical and criminal and social service costs to the community. Treatments will also reduce the prevalence of chronic mental and medical conditions among our residents as well as a reduction in violent crime Most of our clients pay$20 per session, on average 40 sessions. This is closely followed by 44 sessions at less than or equal to$10 per session.On average most individuals are 3 to 10 sessions and occasionally as many as 20 sessions.

Introduction: The Monroe Association for ReMARCable Citizens commonly referred to as the MARC House or M.A.R.0 has been serving adults and adolescents with intellectual disabilities in Monroe County for 54 yrs. B. Goals Ob'ectives & Outcomes: We will use this money to train intellectually disabled adolescents transitioning from the schools and intellectually disabled adults who are currently learning food preparation at our Adult Day Program in the Rainbow Cafe. Through this program we have placed clients in jobs in the community and will continue to place clients in jobs during the year. It is currently open from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm Monday-Friday. It provides a healthy lunch for our clients at a reduced cost while also selling sandwiches,beverages and a daily blue plate special to the public. We have also begun growing vegetables in our Horticulture Program that we have been selling to the c public as well as incorporating it into our lunch program. We operate a Bazaar/Thrift Store in the Upper Keys at our Michelle Snyder Adult Day Training in the Coral Isle Church. This site gives our Upper Keys clients a chance to learn skills in laundry,jewelry making and retail sales all of which can be transferred to work opportunities in the community and we have been able to place several clients in job in the Upper Keys. We regained our Harry Harris Park Beach cleaning job since the park has finally reopened after Hurricane Irma damage CD All of the above opportunities give clients the ability to eventually obtain and maintain employment in the community, which helps them move above the poverty level. This reduces the need for supplemental funding for things like food stamps and other state and federal funded programs and c helps maintain independence. The"Rainbow Cafe", has multiple benefits. It provides our intellectually disabled clients with at least one healthy meal each day at a reduced price. Over half of the MARC clients live below the poverty level while attending our ADT(Adult Day Training), this nutritious meal is essential to their overall health. As do, the Upper Keys Thrift Store and MARC Plant Store we are providing training in job and life skills. We always hope that the money raised from the sale of our products to the community can help offset the cost to operate the programs. We also use these funds as a partial match to our Agency for Persons with Disabilities (M/W funding) from the State of Florida, United Way and fundraisers. C. Back ound & Si ificance: I was able in 2018 to get some of our funding for Adults with Disabilities restored and awaiting the end of the legislative session to see if we are successful this year.. Since 2005 the state has reduced provider rates paid for services by 11%while the cost of housing,insurance, gas, food and other essentials has continued to rise. We are the only provider to this population in Monroe County and we do 90 % of the services for this population. In January 2015 we eliminated health insurance. We have since given raises to try and cover the cost of the staff getting insurance on their own. The cost of the agency giving full or partial health insurance is too large to sustain, although we offer a wellness plan at minimal cost. caMRagency for parsons with disabilities aw Partially Sponsored Agency S t a r e o.f -Florida $.�.<.. f ��..' ry � e. Packet Pg. 2050 J.1.1 D. Tar et P%,)ullat on: This grant will serve 100-104 developmentally disabled adults, ages 16-84, in the Upper, Middle and Lower Keys as the 7 Middle Keys clients attend either the Lower or Upper Keys Program with the division being the 7 mile bridge. The program is open Mon-Friday 52 weeks of the year with 12 Holidays a year. E. Approach: We produced a functioning restaurant kitchen when renovating our space at May Sands School and operate our Plant Store at our Key West site. We have increased our space at the Coral Isle Church in order to accommodate our expanded job training. We have 2 vocational trainers, cafe manager and a horticulturist in Key West. In the Upper Keys two staff, operate the Bazaar(Thrift Store) 6 days a week. The more structured programs available for adults and teenagers with disabilities,the less likely they are to get into serious trouble while working toward obtaining and sustaining employment. We also have three Supported Employment Coaches who work throughout the Keys to help with job placement and to maintain employment once they are employed. F. Resources: I have included a more detailed budget on the pages following this abstract for you to e clearly see all of the costs involved salaries, utilities, supplies and equipment. The detailed budget will 0) also show how much money we receive from the Adult Day Training funds through the State n Medicaid Waiver, Vocational Rehabilitation, United Way and any fundraisers as well as our expenses for this program. We also use these funds as a partial match to our Adults with Disabilities funding the State of Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities. Due to the fact that people with intellectual disabilities lose so much ground when they are not in receipt of services, we continue to serve clients without funding or for those who have lost services or serve them at a reduced fee if they can afford to pay. The MARC board is adamant that we do all we can for these most vulnerable people. We also take students with intellectual disabilities into our program during the summer or school breaks when school is not in session. G. Sustainability: As you will see from the budget, these program are becoming more self-sustaining as time goes on but a lot will depend on how successful we are in bringing in the local community to purchase our products and the number of donations we receive. We are constantly fundraising to help fill the gaps but as you know, fundraisers cannot fill such large decreases in state and federal funding. H. Financial Statement: Attached c, We were very grateful for what we received last year.. We hope that this request for$10,000 for at least two staff members will be funded. We will be grateful for whatever you are able to do for MARC and the intellectually disabled in the Keys. We will use this money toward a match from the Agency for People with Disabilities.

Safe shelter, essential services and individualized, intensive case management are essential for preventing crime and victimization for homeless women and children who find themselves in crisis situations. "In shelter", women and children are given safely from all forms of violence; they are safe from the elements and from the effects of drug and alcohol abuse and other risks associated with homelessness; they have options for safe, legal employment, rather than crime such as selling drugs or participating in sex trafficking. "In shelter" women who _ are referred by the Monroe County Detention Center, the Judicial System and from Adult Probation have a safe, structured environment for their transition back to society and a legitimate lifestyle. 0 On October 1, 1999, Samuel's House,Inc.,a registered 501(c) (3)non-profit organization, opened its first program known as the Mary Spottswood Women's Center, the Monroe County Florida emergency shelter for women and y women with minor children offering shelter housing and basic needs for a period of up to 90-days. In 2007, SH expanded programs by building and opening up Kathy's Hope, a 16-bedroom / bath permanent supportive structured housing facility. Kathy's Hope provides housing opportunities where women and women with minor children in recovery from alcohol and drug abuse or who have been diagnosed with co-occurring N CD disorders can reside as long as they wish. W In 2010, a third structured permanent supportive living facility was built and opened as Casa de Meredith, offering seven, two-bedroom and bathroom units along with two studio apartment units, offering affordable housing for single women and men,women and men with children, and intact families. m In 2013, Samuel's House received DCF licensure for Adult Substance Abuse Services for Case Management and General Intervention. This license is renewed annually. r) Samuel's House staff consists of an executive director, a deputy director, a finance manager, one fundraising and event specialists and one part-time case manager, three full-time case managers, a pool of part-time shelter monitors,a certified grant writer,and founder Elmira Leto who serves as a strategy consultant to the agency. Together this team brings years of experience in case management, substance abuse intervention, criminal justice, community health and treatment center management. The staff, that includes both professionals and former clients, has been recognized by local, state and federal officials. Each staff position represents an integral piece of the overall case management team approach used by Samuel's House. Since opening its doors, over 6,500 clients have received numerous targeted services that motivate residents to reach goals and develop skills, thereby becoming viable members of society. The staff of SH has over three decades of combined experience working with the homeless, substance abuse intervention, criminal justice, community health, victim services, and other social issues. The SH Board of Directors is made up of professionals with various areas of expertise and is actively involved with the shelter contributing many volunteer hours to program services,administrative responsibilities and fundraising efforts. With a solid history of awards from federal, state and other grant programs, SH has proven itself to be a competent 4 Packet Pg. 2058 Samuel's House,Inc. Sheriffs Shared Asset Forfeiture Fun J.1.m January 22,2020 Grant Application steward in all fiscal aspects of its programs. All grant awards have been followed by prudent, successful management of resulting programs. Required reporting is done in a timely manner and SH has no history of delinquencies or negative findings from any funding source. B.

Sheriffs Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund January 22,2020 Grant Application During the calendar period 2019, at case management intake screenings, clients served indicated the most prevalent causes of homelessness include but are not limited to: a) lack of work which they are competent to maintain, b) insufficient wages versus housing expenses,c)domestic violence; and more common than not, is the ongoing issue of substance use / abuse, coupled with chronic mental health disorders and related medical conditions that most often remain untreated. The Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter provided services to 332 clients. Of that number, 219 served were adults and 112 were children. One client requested to not be registered. Additionally, of the 332 clients served, 71 were male and 251 were female; 42 clients served were direct transfers from the County Jail or other institutional treatment facilities of various types; and 101 of those clients indicated chronic homelessness issues. The following chart depicts data collected by Samuel's House specific to clients served at the Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter, for the 2019 calendar year period. Data indicates that among the reasons for the homelessness, our clients deal with domestic violence, theft, drug abuse and distribution, alcohol-related - offences, using public or private property for basic life necessities such as sleeping or bathing in or on public properties,etc. There are many other reasons for homelessness,including these reported in the 2019*period: Unstable Housing 332 Lack of Affordable Housing_ !332 0 Unemployment 2 19 ubstance Abuse 90 y Criminal Background 142 "dental Illness �82 y Alcohol Abuse '82 ;Domestic Violence _ 1101 (*Note: Clients may be counted more than one as is applicable.) C. Background and Significance Background cv The need for emergency shelter and long-term housing services in the Florida Keys is reflected in its remote location, high cost of living, and low wages. For example, shelter is essential to the safety of abuse victims who are seeking refuge,because leaving abusers is often dangerous,if not lethal. 0 In Monroe County, the rural, insular culture and location along with the consequential scarcity of resources create the potential for increased danger when compared to more urban communities.The resultant community is one that is very vulnerable to homelessness and poverty. These conditions are proven incentives for victimization and criminal behavior. SH provides women and women with children a safe, secure place to live and a long-term plan for life improvement free of criminal influence. m Without SH, many women would have to return to living in the mangroves, their cars, sleeping on sofas, lawn chairs, and porches. They often resort to living on public or private property where it is not legal to live. They could put their children at risk by returning to unsafe conditions. Some could choose to return to a criminal livelihood. Many who have "worn out their welcome" with family or friends would certainly return to drug dealers and pimps. Assisting SHI clients with case management and the provision of basic human needs is vitally important to many segments of the community including: SH has been serving crime victims since opening. The agency assists victims among the local population, as well as transients and tourists,who often find themselves stranded here due to some type of violence. SH has seen a tremendous increase in mothers with children and in pregnant women with children in need of services. The Department of Children and Families and Family Court refer many families and individuals to SH for the safety and structure the environment provides. Without Samuel's House, foster care would be the only option for many children. The shelter allows families to stay united or to be restored while mothers make the transition into independence and stability, 6 Packet Pg. 2060 Samuel's House,Inc. SheriIfs Shared Asset Forfeiture FundJ.1.m January 22,2020 Grant Application variety of essential services are absolutely crucial to preventing crime by and against homeless women and women with children who find themselves in need of assistance in o oe County. Referral sources to SH include the criminal justice system, as well as Family Court. Referrals from the Monroe County Detention Center and from Adult probation are also frequent. SH shelters many women who are released from jail or prison, including women who are on house-arrest. The women who are released from jail find safety and support for transitioning back into society. The self-esteem d empowerment clients receive at S , gives them the totals to make good choices and to participate in life as productive citizens with legitimate forms of livelihood. For addicted women, the structure and accountability of a recovery-oriented community, provided by the supportive environment of the shelter and guidance from the shelter staff, reduces the risk of illegal activities and victimization. Although the shelter is not a treatment center, SH provides addicts and substance abusers, f5rom the jails and streets,the structure and support needed to achieve sobriety. Sa uel's house actively renews our license with the Florida Department of Children and Families for Adult Substance Abuse Services f Case Management and General Intervention annually. Without community support,the homeless population is potentially a burden to the community, as the community oust pay the price for criminal activities, With resources and support, homeless families can avoid victimization � and criminal behavior,and become self-sufficient,productive members of the Monroe County community. 12 D. Target Population c The Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter provides shelter housing for women and women with y minor children of all ages who, for reasons such as financial crisis, substance abuse, incarceration, domestic violence, illness, mental ilhiess, or other traumatic events, have found themselves homeless. The children range from to eighteen. Adolescent boys may stay at the shelter with their mothers. The only requirement for admission to the Mary Spottswood o en's Center is to be a homeless, sober woman CD (free of any warrants)who is willing to remain sober and non-violent while in residence. E. Approach Method. The funding requested in this application will be used in two ways (Case Management and the Provision of Basic HumanNeeds)to ultimately reduce crime, address the needs of residents suffering from Drug and Alcohol Abuse, and provide for the Mental and Physical Health of Minors and Adults in o oe County. This includes drug testing supplies and utility expenses of the program. 4- Cass Management: Case anage ent is not a short term process. It must be ongoing, providing clients whatever they need, whenever they need it, for as long as necessary. SH is committed to this process. The m SH method of case management is a team approach. The case management team consists of the CEO, a part-time Licensed Clinical Social Worker, one part-time Case Manager, three full-time Case Managers and a pool of part-time Shelter Monitors. This team manages the needs of all shelter residents,24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. SH is ran with firm rules and expectations for behavior, employment, and sobriety, which provide a structure for rehabilitation and transition. When a client arrives at S , she receives an intensive evaluation by a Case Manager and begins to develop a plan for herself that includes staying away from trouble and improving her health and safety so that she can achieve self-sufficiency. Children entering SIT with their mothers/guardians also receive the benefit of case management. The case management team works closely with the client to follow and monitor her progress. When a client leaves , she is encouraged to return for case management follow-up. Collaborative efforts with community agencies facilitate the goal of improving the health and safety of homeless women and women with children in o oe County and preventing crime and victimization among this population, Sa uel's house collaborates with multiple government and non-profit agencies throughout Monroe County. By accessing the resources of its partners, such as the member agencies of the Monroe County Homeless Services Continuum of Care,the SH case management tea.m ensures that residents of our Packet Pg. 2061 Samuel's House,Inc. Sheriff s Shared Asset Forfeiture FundJ.1.m January 22,2020 Grant Application programs receive shelter and comprehensive services for their transition to self-sufficiency, safety, and sober legitimate lifestyles. Samuel's House assures that approaches used by staff are the most relevant and effective for the Monroe County community. For example, shelter staff works with probation officers to monitor the residents who are placed in the shelter as a condition of release. Without SH,these women would have few options. SH works to rehabilitate and empower women so they are ready for a clean, legal lifestyle. •:° Provision of Basic Human Needs: It has been proven time after time that a lack of proper shelter and "going hungry" often leads to a life of crime. Women turn to theft,prostitution and other offenses in order to provide food, clothing and shelter for their families. They also allow crimes such as domestic abuse to be inflicted upon them because they believe they have no other choice if their children are to eat and have a roof over their heads. SH believes that no woman or child should have to endure a state of homelessness or exist in fear for their personal safety without even the most basic of human needs such as food and shelter. Since 1999, SH has been providing for those needs. Client fees have always been an integral part of the SH programs. It is important that women take at least some financial responsibility for their housing and other needs while living at the Mary Spottswood Women's Center. Fees are currently set at $100.00 per week, for the first four weeks; and have been unchanged for the past nine years, even if the woman has accompanying children. All client fees are applied to the monthly operating costs of the shelter. When it is considered that a client pays less than $14.29 per day in client fees for herself and nothing at all for her children while at the shelter, it is easy to y see how a deficit exits. y Over the last several years, the gap between what clients pay, and what the actual operating costs of SH are, has widened until the agency can no longer afford NOT to insist that fees be paid. As a result, instead of using their short time at the Mary Spottswood Women's Center to improve their lives, women must focus on paying their client fees or risking being asked to leave the shelter. Leaving the shelter early N carries with it an increased risk of returning to a life of homelessness, and all the pitfalls that occur as a result. �+ 0 Due to the economic woes facing not only Monroe County,but the entire nation, costs are skyrocketing as cn SH is experiencing an increased need; more pregnant women and women with small children than ever are coming to the Mary Spottswood Women's Center emergency shelter for help. SH will apply a portion of the SAFF grant funds toward purchasing essential basic needs such as food, personal hygiene items cleaning supplies, formula and diapers for the babies and a for the utility p Yg� � g pp � � P paying Y costs that keep them sheltered. The Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter is located at 1614 Truesdell Court, Key West. Many c activities and services will take place there; other services take place throughout Monroe County. All Samuel's House programs are provided oversight by our staff of case managers, house monitors, deputy director and executive director. While case managers assess needs of residents and potential residents, it is the entire SH team that works together to monitor all clients and programs accordingly. SH staff are educated and experienced in the needs of the target population and, therefore, able to guide clients to appropriate services and solutions ns. Administrative personnel and staff attend all possible workshops and training sessions available in order to increase their skills and experience. F. Resources and costs. Samuel's House is requesting SAFF grant funds in the amount of$10,000,to be used to assist with costs involved in case management and the provision of basic need services. The $10,000.00 will be used for case management salaries and to purchase essential client needs (food, personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies, baby formula, diapers,drug testing supplies and utility costs). 8 Packet Pg. 2062 r Samuel's House,Inc.

B. According to the Monroe County United Way's ALICE report 42%of Florida Keys residents struggle to pay for basic needs which includes health care. 54%of families with children living in the Upper Keys 4 Packet Pg. 2067 are living below the federal poverty lines. Monroe County maintains one of the highest rates of uninsured populations in the State of 2 %. This increases to Jm for families living under %of the Federal Poverty Level. Many families of Monroe County simply do not have access to timely, quality and affordable ealt care. This includes medical,oral health and mental healthy Often parents or single parent homes work multiple jobs, none of which offer benefits or work one job and do not make enough to purchase health insurance-even with the ACA subsidy. Our goal is to increase access to quality medical, behavioral and oral health services for vulnerable and underserved targeted children's populations in Monroe County. • Support the integration behavioral health services within Keys AHEC student health service programming. • Support the provision of oral health services and treatment to targeted student populations. y • Build e capacity of the health system rogram in ,through efforts such as quality improvement, management/infrastructure enhancements,or evidence-based pro ra s with referral and follow- up. • Tracking of student absences( cool District) cv • Tracking of health outcomes that are kept in patient records longitudinally oft e students'school enrollment. Data collected will include: 1, Electronic Health Records tracking medical care and demographic data o a. CreTracer EHR for clinical services® patient visits and unique patient counts 2.

Problem-behavior questionnaires, pare nt-teac er-student motivation interviews,and motivational assessment scales are also used. . Treatment includes services provided on an Individual level and involve multi-agency entities through authorized releases of information. As we enter year six the Keys AHEC Health Center program has grown and expanded at a consistent rate overt is time period where we have been able to sustain sites,staff and service lines. Our Model addresses Outcome indicators that include: Focus on Delivering Evidence-based Mental Health Services Expand Health Related Service lines and staffing Increase number of service encounters. Objectives: 5 Packet Pg. 2068 1. Maintain 8 clinics to increase access to primary care services during the school year for the entire student . .

Maintain 8 Clinical Sites Countywide _ 3. Maintain Program Infrastructure to support clinical operations(Ad in 4. Sustain Program Funding Commitments and NewSources C.The overarching oal of the program is to provide comprehensive integrated direct primary care medical services for students and siblings in the school setting. Havingprimary care services available in o the school during school hours will reduce access to care issues and improve the health of students, siblings and families in the community through direct primary care and early identification/treatment of disease. Anticipated results of the program are that children will have access to primary care walk i services for non-emergency situations. Medical case management and treatment plans will be provided for those without a medical home while those with a physician or health insurance will have their info provided to their current provider upon completion of initial treatment. CD cv Monroe County still maintains one of the highest rates of uninsured populations in the State.Often parents or single parent homes work multiple jobs, none of which offer benefits or work one job and do not make enough to purchase health insurance with reasonable deductibles,family coverage,evert with the subsidies. Additionally Monroe County has 4 full time Pediatric practices. Private practices throughout the county either do not take Medicaid, have capped Medicaid enrollments and do not offer no cost care to LU financially struggling families. This creates barriers to accessible care. Specific to this project our program bridges a significant gap in service and access to care for medically vulnerable children in Monroe County. Now through our clinical program parents can bring children in afore or after school,come during their work breaks,as well as,choose to allow the provider to see the child without being present. Contact is made with all parents prior tot e visit and upon completion of e visit. D.The target population of the program in its entirety is the current student population of 10 public schools, private/charter school and a current/expanding primary care clinic program.There are 11,46 children in Monroe County ages -19. The focus will be on the approximately , 0 students. Working Poor Families with children make up a lame portion ofthose living below(11%under 1 0%of E the FPQ or a ( %under 200%of the FP ) poverty levels.The School District reports 1 Ike of their student population misses 21 or more days of school due to illness,47%of all students are on the free/reduced price lunch program. Since 2014 Keys AHEC has been a provider of primary care services to families of Monroe County through 8 clinical sites,expanding to 1 (with oral health) in 20 - . The volume increases during this time have doubled with the medical, dental and mental health staff and sites. Patient services have Packet Pg. 2069 increased by 321/b and the number of patient visits by 325%. 33%of the clinic's patients are uninsured while 7% have Medicaid. Medical, Mental and Oral Health needs of our medically vulnerable children are at the forefront of discussion among health care and now political leaders. The program allows non-insured, Medicaid,and those considered medically vulnerable to have access to no cost health services that otherwise do not exist for students in Monroe County. Key Usage Statistics from 20 -1 are: Medical Visits:7,37 Medical Services: 78,147 � Dental Visits: 1,217 Sealants Placed: 2, 2 Mental Health Patients: 3 Mental Health Services: 2,920 Total Patient Visits: 14,448 Total Patient Services: 83,193 cv E. Primary care services will be available in 8 schools located throughout the keys. Providers will offer W medical services 30 minutes before, after and during school hours throughout the school year an limited hours throughout the summer.This will reduce access to care issues and improve the health o students and families in the community through direct primary care and early identification/treatment of disease.Students and families will have access to primary cars walk in services for non-emergency situations. Specific to this project the Clinical program in the county bridges a significant gap in service and access o care.

ECMC programs promote wellness and mental health and teach volunteerism to youth volunteers by providing basic needs, necessary tools, and support to students living in special circumstances to enable them to remain drug, alcohol, and tobacco free and to reach their goals, achieve success, and help their peers. Tina Belotti, MA,_ECMC Director oversees all_preyent ion_activities._She_is_the Project-Success- 2 _. Counselor for West Care. Ms. Belotti has been working on the Marathon High School campus in this capacity since 2014.

This spring Champions for Change members will collaborate with the Sheriff s Department for "Know the Law" and Safe and Sober Prom and LO Graduation. Club members receive education in monthly prevention topics during their meetings (Stand up to E Bullying, Red Ribbon Week, Drive Sober, Children's Mental Health Awareness, etc.) so that they are able to spread monthly prevention messages to their peers. This is effective as teenagers are more likely to listen to information from their peers. This February 2020, nine high school Champions for Change Members will represent The Monroe County Coalition in attendance at the 16t" annual Prevention Day and 30t" annual Communities Anti-Drug Coalitions of America(CADCA) Youth Leadership Conference.

Wesley House is a resource and refuge for over 300 children and families daily in Monroe County. The multitude of services offered to Monroe County residents is detailed in the following section. As CEO, I am asking the SAFF Advisory Board to be a financial stakeholder in assisting esley House in providing a priority nee —dental and orthodontic services for minors in our care. Specifically, Wesley House is requesting$10,000 to be applied toward our Community Based Care dental care needs. The goal of this program is to provide additional funding for oral 2 surgery and orthodontic services to children in the dependency care system managed by a, Wesley House's C C Full Case Managers. Such funds will help provide these services in a prompt and nurturing manner in a close-to-home environment for children who have already been through traumatic circumstances. Payment of necessary oral surgical and orthodontic n expenses is currently taken from past SAFF grants and private funding. Funding from the SAFF will continue to allow Wesley House to assist youth in getting the braces and other oral surgery that may not meet the criteria for Medicaid's "medically necessity" but adds significantly to the youth's quality of life and self-esteem. N In fiscal year 2019, Wesley House spent$17,2 2 on dental, oral surgical and orthodontic treatments for children in the dependency care system not covered by other community resources. The children in the dependency care system, our c unty°s most at-risk population, deserve expeditious and quality dental care. Often the children come from an abusive or neglectful environment and they require extensive orthodontic treatment, Some of these children have y never seen a dentist and we make sure they receive dental evaluations as quickly as possible. Wesley House and the Rotary Club of Key West have co-sponsored community events relate o dental care. They too have recognized this important need in the community and we have been working together, Our school aged children who do not have emergency needs benefit by referrals for dentists through AHEC when they have a problem, reducing our need for funding these types of dental services and allowing us to fund, with the assistance of SAFF an community donations, more youth's braces than ever before. WHFS board realizes SAFF cannot afford to accept all invitations of partnerships; however, with your financial support Wesley House can pay for these critical services, improving the life-Ion outcomes of these youth. 3 Packet Pg. 2083 J.1.p Pages 4 through 9 of the Application: THE APPLICATION Here you should include: A. Introduction. Describe the overall organization, its qualifications relevant to this request, and its capacity to manage the project. Wesley House Family Services, Inc. (Wesley House) was founded in the 1920's by the United Methodist Church as a settlement program for Key West's Cuban community. The organization has grown tremendously over the last eleven decades in response to a multitude of needs from the entire Florida Keys community. In the mid 1940's, Wesley House became a stand-along 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization. In 1971, in response to an overwhelming need for professional child care in Key West, the agency instituted the area's first full-time child care center for working parents. By 1989, the need for quality, affordable child care had become critical throughout Monroe County and Wesley House was asked to become the coordinating c agency for all of Monroe County's licensed childcare services. The program, known as "school y readiness" was administered by Wesley House for 23 years until the Early Learning Coalition brought that service in house. In 2005, Wesley House was selected and accepted responsibility for the child dependence care system throughout the Florida Keys, referred to as "Community Based Care." Wesley House Programs encompass all aspects of the child welfare/dependency care system including family support and prevention services for troubled families experiencing challenges and discord., full case management services when there is risk of harm to a child, y foster and adoptive family recruitment,training and support services when it is necessary to Q remove a child from his or her family, and additionally the Healthy Families-Monroe program promoting positive parent-child relationships for expectant and new families. Wesley House has an enduring commitment to quality and adheres to the "best practices" concept of developing and implementing the most efficient and effective way of delivering our services. Wesley House is one of only 1,500 social service organizations accredited by the prestigious International y Council of Accreditation (COA). Wesley House is a multi-faceted, nationally accredited agency working with children and families throughout Monroe County. Our mission is to promote and enhance the safety, well- being, and development of children by educating, supporting, and meeting the needs of families. Our goal is to develop and encourage a more child caring community in the Florida Keys. Wesley House's function is critically important to the quality of lives- and often even to the physical lives-of hundreds of disadvantaged children in the Florida Keys. Since 2009, our local economy has caused an absolutely skyrocketing level of human need that challenges our programs like never before, placing Wesley House in a position of daunting responsibility. Heartbreaking problems including hopelessly dysfunctional and even violent families, vulnerable teen parents with seemingly no life skills, and the rising specter of opioid addictions and other substance abuse are among several alarming social indicators we now confront. Wesley House knows that now is the time when our mission and goals are more needed than 4 Packet Pg. 2084 J.1.p ever before in our over 90-year history. Wesley House believes partnerships are paramount to meet the escalating needs of our community, not only by honoring our current partnerships, but by actively seeking other potential funders, and expanding volunteer recruitment. Wesley House believes that partnering with other local non-profits, businesses and government is essential to meet our community's needs. We are proud to say that we share many of our back-office resources with AH Monroe (formerly Aids Help), to include information systems, communications, property management and housing case services. This partnership has allowed for greater efficiencies, a reduction in costs and better support to our front-line staff. This sharing of services has been extended to also include the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys (CFFK) to support its information technology and reduce costs per person for all three organizations. Together we can find solutions to our existing social problems. Wesley House partners with various organizations throughout the year to benefit our children and families. Major community events include the Valentine's Day Gala, Mel Fisher Days and the Holiday Gift Giving Program, in full collaboration with the Sheriff's Office and the Key West City Police Department. These and many other events are coordinated to raise awareness and additional funding so we may live by our motto, "helping our community one family at a time in the Florida Keys". y Wesley House provides multiple services for children and families throughout Monroe County serving an average of approximately 300 children and families daily. Our large portfolio of acclaimed services is divided into three groups with several subcategories of programs within each. The list of these services includes: 1. Community Base Care Q Full Case Management w Foster Care Services Independent Living Transition Services Supervised Visitation _ Transportation Services 0 2. Family Services Intensive Family Preservation Services a Enhanced In-Home Services Intensive Family Reunification Services Nurturing Parenting Program 3. Healthy Families Monroe 4. Inez Martin Child Development Center Child care center with average of 75-90 children Offers free breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack daily Offers free weekly backpack program These descriptive program titles involve a foundation of activities, talented staff, and renowned 5 Packet Pg. 2085 J.1.p accomplishments that literally make Wesley House the leading n service organization in Monroe County today. Wesley House adheres to best practices in serving our clients and always preforms very high on monitoring as demonstrated by our national accreditation, CA an reputation for taking leadership positions. For example, our Inez Martin Child evelo en Center, serving children daily is a "Gold Seal" accreditation through the Florida Department of Children and Families and a green facility. These recognitions champion our commitment to quality above and beyond state licensing requirements. Wesley House had the highest quality and safety scores in South Florida for Community Based Care agencies. A volunteer Board of Directors holds the fiduciary and governance responsibility for Wesley Ouse. The voting Board is typically - e hers and is also supported y an Advisory oar .

Current Wesley House C C staff, overseen by the C C Director, and with Full Case c Manager Supervisors and WesleyHouse Finance Department staff, will manage the funds we are requesting in this application (described in the following answer). B. Goals, Objectives and Outcomes at needs to be done). Supply documentation of the need if it is available. The goal of this program is to provide funding for orthodontist or , braces and oral surgery to children in the dependency care system managed y Wesley House's C C Full Case Managers. These funds will help provide these services in a prompt and nurturing manner in a closer-to-home environment for children that have already been through traumatic circumstances, Payment of necessary dental, oral surgical and orthodontic care is necessary to ensure quality of life for the youth benefiting. Funding from the Sheriffs Asset Forfeiture Program is matched with private donations to maximize the number of youth who can benefit. Packet Pg. 2086 J.1.p C.Background and Significance (Why the project is important to the community). The goal of the Community Based Care Initiative developed by the State of Florida was to give local communities more input into the management of children and families involved in the dependency care system, while increasing accountability, resource development and performance. Wesley House accepted responsibility for these services as the Community Based Care Provider for Monroe County in 2005 through the agency's Full Case Management program. The children in the dependency care system, our County's most at-risk population, deserve expeditious dental and medical care once entering the system. Often the children come from an abusive or neglectful environment and they require immediate and extensive dental and orthodontic treatment. 2 Children in the dependency care system managed by the CBC qualify for Medicaid eligibility. Currently, there continues to be few options for pediatric dental services in Monroe County and appointments are not always readily available due to their demand.The closest oral surgeons c and orthodontists that accept Medicaid eligible patients is in Miami. Orthodontic services, y especially braces, require on-going appointments and since we seek to keep children in school whenever possible, we work with local providers to give us discounts and see our children. Dental examinations and subsequent treatment are extremely important to a child's overall body health and quality of life and must be performed as soon as possible. In cases where a child is taken to a pediatric dentist, oral surgeon or orthodontist that does not accept Medicaid, y Wesley House must payout out-of-pocket for these services. Wesley House has worked out Q discounted rates with two providers and three orthodontists and will negotiate on a per child basis with others. Again, some of these children have never seen a dentist, or in many months or years and benefit from immediate and quality dental evaluations but in approximately 40% of these children they require extensive dental and orthodontic services to correct years of neglect. c D. Target Population (Who will be served specifically? Age? Gender? Special circumstances) Any child, male or female, from birth to 18 years of age in the dependency care system in Monroe County with significant orthodontic needs will be served. E. Approach Method. (How will the project be done? Where will it be done? When? What staffing is required?) Wesley House has three offices (Key West, Marathon, and Key Largo) within Monroe County that offer Community Based Care Full Case Management services. Children requiring oral surgical and orthodontic treatment would be identified in all three locations through regular dental evaluations. The SAFF Community Based Care Dental Program would be administered and tracked by the Wesley House CBC Director and services would be available throughout the 7 Packet Pg. 2087 J.1.p year. In addition,the Finance Department would be involved in disbursing, tracking and auditing the Fund. No additional CBC or Finance staff would be required. F. Resources and costs. (How much will it cost? Include detailed budget. What other resources are available for the project? Describe the organization's fiscal capabilities.) There would be no overhead costs associated with this project. All funding would go to direct services; compensating pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, orthodontists, and pediatricians for their services. As previously stated; during fiscal year 2019, $17,202 was expended by Wesley House for children in the dependency care system for dental and orthodontic treatments. In addition, Wesley House often provides transportation services to assist in getting children to dental appointments. FY 2020 Community Based Care Dental Services Budget 0 Dental $28,000 Total $28,000 If Wesley House is awarded the Sheriff's grant,the payment of necessary dental and orthodontic expenses will not have to come from other essential funding used for quality of lifeCD CD opportunities for children in the dependency care system. Wesley House CBC staff always tries to obtain reduced price structure for dental and medical services from our generous community members. Currently, we have discounted rates with two providers and three orthodontists. Occasionally, Wesley House CBC staff can arrange collaborative funding assistance for dental, orthodontic, and emergency medical treatments from Voices for Florida Keys Children (Voices),the non-profit arm of Guardian ad Litem. 0) Ch Wesley House procedures require CBC staff to always seek out other available sources for funding, such as Voices, prior to requesting use of funding provided by the SAFF Community Based Care Dental Grant. Regarding our fiscal capabilities, Wesley House employs a Chief Financial Officer, a Controller/Budget Manager and two Accounting Analysts. The Wesley House Finance Department prepares the financial reports for the annual audit, has the capability to pay by electronic funds transfer, operates with a $6+ Million budget, and prepares for the Board of Directors a "Month-to-Date" and "Year-to-Date" Revenue and Expense to Budget Comparison Report, a Cash Flow Report, and a Balance Sheet Report. In addition, Wesley House has an approved Cost Allocation Plan and is closely monitored by our funders, DCF and their auditors. G. Sustainability(For projects that may be asking for funds for more than one year, how will the project be sustained upon termination of this funding?) While Wesley House truly believes the Community Based Care Dental Program represents the 8 Packet Pg. 2088 J.1.p essence of the Monroe County Sheriffs Asset Forfeiture program. If we were unable to receive funding in future years we would need to seek reimbursement funds from accounts used for other needs of children in the dependency care system and reduce the number of youth we could fund braces. Wesley House is also seeking other sources for funding to be used for dental and emergency medical care for children in the dependency care system not covered by the $10,000 we are requesting through the SAFF grant.

The organization carries out its mission through an all-volunteer workforce and bard coe f directors°. This team assisted 225 Monroe County children dependent upon the legal system in 2019. Our Mission and Geographic Area Served The mission of Voices for Florida Keys Children(Voices)is to assist the 161'Judicial Circuit Guardian ad Lite (GAL)by providing financial assistance through raising and distributing funds for the medical, social,educational and personal needs of abused, abandoned and neglected children in Monroe County,Florida.Every child in Monroe County under ca?a njurisdiction, due to parental abuse,abandonment or neglect,has a Guardian ad Lite . Guardians become aware of the needs of the children d make requests to Voices to assist in these areas. y We Exist Monroe County children served through the GAL program need more hells and assistance than the Department of Children Families can provide. Twenty-five percent of the children served through y Voices are in the foster care system. The remaining children have been placed with relatives, some remain in their homes with DCF and under court supervision,and other children are placed in group homes.These children have experienced abuse,abandonmentand/or neglect. Voices provides these services because so many young people would NOT have a chance to experience reasonable successes without adequate supportive relationships and services. While Voices cannot change the past of each child, believe we can work diligently to meet the needs that will help build them a stronger future. Voices services are provided throughout the year. How We Carry Out Our Mission A GAL volunteer is appointed by the 16s'Judicial Circuit to represent and protect the best interests of a child,in d outside of the courtroom. di e trained to know what's in a child's best interest. The Guardian shares the child's needs with the Voices board and Voices works to assist. Through the Child Welfare Program,the focus of this grant application,Voices works with youth to help the succeed in school,to fulfill key material needs,and to participate in essential childhood experiences that all kids equally deserve.Voices serves newborns to teenagers 18 years of age. y Through the Child Welfare Program.Voices provides a safety net of services so that a child appointed a Guardian ad Litern does not miss an opportunity due to lack of biological parental c involvement or funds. These services include investments for kids to attend camps and field trips, providing clothing,diapers,uniforms,facilitating and funding tutoring and behavioral health testing to keep kids on the right track, assisting with medical and dental needs above and beyond baseline Medicaid covered expenses,rent supplements,furniture,gas money,car insurance supplements, and E strengthening self-worth ough holiday giving. Program os The Child Welfare Program budget is approximately $62,000 for 2020. e respectfully request a grant in the amount of$10,000. For the past five years, Voices has raised additional funds to support capital needs for the Foster Family Affordable Housing Project, building two houses for foster families. Abstract—Page 3 Packet Pg. 2093 J.1.q 2 tion VOICES FOR FLORIDA KEYS CHILDREN,Inc. NARRATIVE A.Introduction. Describe the overall organization, its qualifications relevant to this request,and its capacity to manage the project. Voices exists to assist the 16'h Judicial Circuit Guardian ad Litem(GAL)by providing financial assistance through raising and distributing funds for the medical, social,educational and personal needs of abused,abandoned and/or neglected children in Monroe County,Florida.Voices has carried out this mission through an all-volunteer workforce since 1991. We assist Monroe County children dependent upon the legal system at any given time and support the Guardian ad Litem(GAL)volunteers of Monroe County charged with their care. Our programs consist of the following: The Child Welfare Program, the focus of this grant application, helps children succeed in school. It fulfills key material needs, and increases participation in essential childhood experiences all , kids equally deserve. Through this program,Voices provides a safety net of services so that a child appointed a Guardian does not miss an opportunity due to lack of biological parental involvement or funds. These services include, but are not limited to, connecting kids to camps y and field trips,providing clothing and diapers, facilitating and funding tutoring and testing to keep kids on the right academic path, funding school supplies to keep students on track (computers, books,backpacks, and other school supplies) and assisting with medical, psychological and dental needs above and beyond baseline Medicaid covered expenses. A detailed budget is included in this application. The Guardian ad Litem Program recruits GAL Volunteers and provides support,respite and additional training to Guardian ad Litem volunteers in Monroe County. The College Scholarship Program provides scholarships to graduating high school students from Monroe County who have at some point been assigned a Guardian ad Litem. The Foster Family Affordable Housing Program creates affordable housing for foster parents 2 and children. This program increases the number of foster children placed directly in homes in Monroe County. In the past, due to the lack of foster parents and affordable housing in Monroe y County, children have been placed in other parts of the State. Voices currently manages and owns two 4-bedroom foster family cottages in Key Largo. The Voices Board maintains detailed organization financials,records of requests and measurement * of services provided.Board minutes, guardian applications for minors,progress reports and financial statements are part of monthly records that show the mission in action. The Voices Board of Directors,treasurer and bookkeeper manage the SAFF grant reimbursements.The bookkeeper maintains separate accounting for all expenses billed to the SAFF grant,and required paperwork is provided to Monroe County for reimbursement. Goals,objective and outcomes are measured. B. Goals,Objectives and Outcomes (What needs to be done). Supply documentation of the need if it is available. Through the Child Welfare Program,the focus of this grant application,Voices works with youth to help them succeed in school,to fulfill key material needs,and to participate in essential childhood experiences that all kids equally deserve.Voices serves newborns to teenagers 18 years of age.

Many of these children are biologically vulnerable to poor developmental outcomes due to genetic factors,prenatal substance exposure,and other physical health issues.Many of these children 03 experience(d)trauma. They experience problems in the classroom,socially,and often have delayed development. Some make poor decisions as a direct result of learning what they lived through neglect,abuse and abandonment. Our country has more than 100 years of experience with programs that work to address the unfortunate crimes against children- emotional and physical assault directed towards them by their own parent(s) or sibling(s). The impact of ongoing neglect and abuse, or the result of abandonment, is documented in a cache of research. We know so much today. This wealth of knowledge avails our children some,but not all that they deserve. However, when kids are hungry they still struggle to learn. When kids are unsafe they still struggle to feel secure. When kids are abandoned they learn to care little for themselves Narrative- Page 5 Packet Pg. 2095 2020 Sheofff Asset's Forfeiture Fund SAFFJ Grant Application VOICES FOR FLORIDA KEYS CHILDREN,Inc. or for others. And all kids deserve a healthy and estimable childhood. This is not a new reality. It is an ongoing problem that relies on policy, government programs, social services—but it's also a problem that relies on"Voices"for some of the solutions. These are Keys children. Some make poor decisions as a result of learning what they lived- through neglect, abuse and abandonment. Voices goes above and beyond that which is offered through the Department of Children and Families and the many state funded social and human services organizations serving the County. In Monroe County there are 200-300 children each year who are dependent upon the legal system due to parental abuse, abandonment or neglect. Through the Child Welfare Program,Voices offers a boost that these children require to succeed in life. D. Target Population (Who will be served specifically?Age? Gender? Special circumstances) Voices serves Monroe County infants,youth and teens that are assigned Guardian ad Litem due to y family abuse,neglect or abandonment.In calendar year 2019,225 children under the age of 18 were served through the Child Welfare Program. Population includes those with shelter petitions and dependency petitions. On average, 50 percent are female, 50 percent are male. In many cases, Guardian volunteers are the only constant in a child's life. They may be one of the N only people consistently advocating for the best interest of a child,the person that ensures a child N has visitation with her little brother;the one that makes sure a child is progressing educationally, medically and emotionally;and the one that makes certain that decisions made are in the child's best interest. E. Approach Method. (How will the project be done?Where will it be done?When?What staffing is required?) The work of Voices is part of a four-pronged partnership. These partners include the 16th Judicial Circuit,the Guardian ad Litem program, Florida Department of Children and Families and Voices for Florida Keys Children. Each child is registered with the Guardian ad Litem program.When that Guardian witnesses a need —or when a child exhibits a need,the Guardian prepares a brief application presented to the Voices board of directors. Many of the Directors also serve as Guardians. Basic needs are met first: medical, dental,housing,clothing. Voices does not have an official site where services are rendered. The organization uses funding for direct service otherwise not provided to children in the foster and court system.In addition to the two dozen board members,Voices also secures pro bono services from ten local attorneys.As an all-volunteer board,no staffing is required however a bookkeeper and accountant maintain the financial records. F. Resources and costs. (How much will it cost?Include detailed budget.What other resources are available for the project? Describe the organization's fiscal capabilities.) Below is the projected budget for 2020 Child Welfare Program. Voices invests an average of $275 per child each year. In the past,we have received funding to supplement this program through the Voices Luncheon, individual donations and sponsorships.

Services include emergency shelter services for individuals fleeing unsafe situations with lethality and threat of harm concerns, 24 hour crisis hotline, individual supportive counseling & advocacy, assessment of children, information & referral, case management, community education, professional training, primary prevention, court house advocacy, outreach services and safety planning. The Domestic Abuse Shelter is the only certified domestic violence center in Monroe County (and one of only 42 certified centers in the state of Florida) offering critically needed services to victims who require safe housing or other services to prevent further violence and trauma from the perpetrator of the domestic violence. The requested $10,000.00 would be used as part of the local support required as match for the Domestic Abuse Shelters' state contracts with the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence and VOCA. The cash and in-kind match requirement for these contracts for the current grant year is $382,126.46 Currently, the Domestic Abuse Shelter brings to Monroe County $1,679,186.30 in state and federal funds to address issues of domestic violence in this county. Meeting the cash and in- kind match requirement assures that DAS can draw down fully$1,679,186.30. An inability to meet this requirement by the Domestic Abuse Shelter would dramatically impact future funding from current funders and potential future funders which require a match,and thus necessitate reductions in personnel and services provided. Securing local match for state and federal dollars is always crucial to sustaining current funding and service levels as well as potential °3 future program expansion. DAS continues to vigorously pursue new funding opportunities, to sponsor annual fundraising events that have proven successful, and to explore new initiatives with the potential for future 2 revenue. 0 The requested $10,000.00 would increase local match dollars secured to date, support the CO continuing work the Domestic Abuse Shelter provides to the Florida Keys communities, and would be used as leverage in securing additional funding to enhance services in the next funding cycle. Packet Pg. 2104 A. Introduction: The Domestic Abuse Shelter, Inc. (DAS) is a private, nonprofit organization, serving the Monroe County community for 35 years. The mission of DAS is to provide safety, accountability and justice for individuals and families experiencing domestic violence through comprehensive services and community education. DAS began as a grass-roots movement in the Middle and Lower Keys in the late 70's and early 80's. Local women saw the lack of services for women and children experiencing domestic and sexual violence. They developed "safe homes", family homes willing to assist neighbors and friends fleeing life threatening situations, to shelter victims and provide the much needed support and crisis counseling.The Domestic Abuse Shelter was then incorporated in 1983 and began officially operating with a small grant from the Board of County Commission. Since that time, the Domestic Abuse Shelter has grown into a county- _ wide agency with direct service provisions in all areas, aimed at both lifesaving interventions and prevention through education on the development of healthy relationship skills. The Domestic Abuse Shelter is the only state certified domestic violence center in Monroe County with specific services for victims of domestic violence and is y consistently recognized by major state and local funders as the lead agency in Monroe y County for domestic violence services. To ensure county-wide accessibility, the Domestic Abuse Shelter operates in locations strategically chosen throughout Monroe County. The services provided by the Domestic Abuse Shelter include two emergency shelters (The Middle Keys shelter suffered extensive damage from hurricane Irma, but will be restored as soon as possible.), 24 hour crisis hotline, individual supportive counseling & advocacy, assessment of children, information & referral, case management, community education, professional training, primary prevention, court house advocacy, outreach services and safety planning.All services are y accessed through the 24 hour crisis line. Emergency shelter is utilized for individuals fleeing current threats of domestic violence and who are without safe housing options. Both emergency shelter facilities, with a total capacity of 40 beds (Lower Keys 15 & Middle Keys 25), offer services 24 hours a day, seven c days a week, year round. Both are ADA accessible. Services provided for individuals utilizing co shelter locations include emergency food and clothing,transportation, crisis counseling, legal advocacy, access to crime victim's compensation assistance for relocation or to receive needed medical and financial help,financial assistance for basic needs and relocation, individual and group counseling, lethality assessment, safety planning and case management. During the 2018-2019 fiscal year, the Domestic Abuse Shelter provided 3,520 days of shelter to 231 women, men, and children. The 24-hour toll free hotline provides access to crisis counseling, lethality assessment, safety planning, emergency shelter, as well as information and referrals. During the past fiscal year of 2018-2019 the Domestic Abuse Shelter staff answered 199 hotline calls. Outreach services are offered in the Upper, Middle and Lower Keys. Outreach services include assistance in obtaining injunctions for protection, court accompaniment, lethality Packet Pg. 2105 J.1.r assessment, safety planning, individual and groupcounseling, case management, an community education. In addition to the direct services provided as intervention services to domestic violence survivors,the Domestic Abuse Shelter also provides Monroe County with community education, professional training, and primary prevention. The Domestic Abuse Shelter also as a full time Domestic Violence Child elfare Advocate which is co-located on site at DCF service centers. The co-located DV Child elfare Advocate staffs family cases with investigators to determine if domestic violence is present, creating family safety plans geared towardaerer accountability. Domestic violence services are also offered tot e non-offending are and their children. is also engaged in primary prevention efforts working i e Monroe County youtho provide such critical program opportunities that include but are not limited to: Classroom education series on "Healthy ai Relationships" along with ongoing educational presentations at the local boys and girls clubs and after school programs. a, B. Goals, j ci s c . c Goal The Domestic Abuse Shelter will raise and/or secure both the cash and in-kind ac obligations o satisfy the requirements of the FCADV state grant fort e continuation of M support, advocacy, and emergency services to victims of domestic violence in Monroe N County. Objectives 1. In 2020, DAS willsponsor at least one local annual signature fundraiser to generate additional cash towards the match requirement. 2. The Domestic Abuse Shelter will continue to participate in available opportunities for 2 community fundraising events, such as, but not exclusive to, "Bubbles & Bi s", held monthly at the Perry Hotel in the Barrelhouse Restaurant,which a in January 2018 c and allows DAS to have a monthly event which includes a silent auctions, 50/50 raffle and donations.Also DAS will continue to position to be the beneficiary of proceeds from community groups that support A , such as Business and Professional o en's Club of Marathon,Zonta, local Rotaries and Marathon American Legion,just to name a few. 3. The Domestic Abuse Shelter will continue to apply for available local government an private foundation funs both withinand outside of Monroe County, Florida to increase ability o meet cash match requirements on grant revenue received.This includes applying for funding through the Mary Kay Ash Foundation which guarantees in grant awards if selected. At the time of submitting is grant application numerous viable foundations have been identified that support o eic violence endeavors with varied application deadlines through June 2020 withpossible grant awards that could total $50,000.00 if DAS is successful in beingselected for grant awards via the competitive grant process. Packet Pg. 2106 a J.1.r ill continue with the annual year end directail campaign. 5. S board members are required o give or getannually. Currently there are eleven board members this total would be $16,500.00 at current membership level. Expected The Domestic Abuse Shelter will sustain current funding and service levels to ensure ongoing support, advocacy and vital emergency services to victims of domestic violence and their children. C. Background and Significance The unfortunate truth is that domestic violence continues to constitute a significant orion of violent crimes in Monroe County. Despite greater awareness of domestic violence, these 0 issues continue to seriously impact our communities, causing traumatic consequences for the victims and their families. Keeping in mindthat domestic violence is a highlyy underreported crime, in the mostrecent completed crime statistic reports ( 1 ) provided by e Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Monroe county law enforcement received 2 366 reports of domestic violence. Access to community services that offer immediate assistance and ongoing support and advocacy are critical to providing safety and helpingvictims rebuild their lives. In addition, primary prevention efforts contribute to future crime reduction by reducing the likelihood that individuals will become perpetrators or victims of domestic abuse. °3 The mission of the Domestic Abuse Shelter is the provision of these imperative services for domestic violence victims in our community. DAS continues to be responsive to the needs of Monroe County and seeks addition fun in . , from viable sources to meets these needs. This, however, puts DAS in a position of having to set greater and greater re uire es for ate ollars for every rant i is ri i into c co e county(if such rants have match requirements). Being ale to secure the needed ac for state and federal dollars is crucial to sustaining the services that are currently in place. TargetD. Population Victims of domestic violence, including their dependent children, are the target population served by the Domestic Abuse Shelter. Additionally, the Monroe County youth are also served through the provision of primary prevention programs designedo prevent future domestic violence crimes from ever being committed. II Domestic Abuse Shelter services are free, confidential, and are provided regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, citizenship, immigration status, marital status or language spoken. Packet Pg. 2107 e J.1.r Although the emergency shelter facilities are drug and alcohol free,the Domestic Abuse S eler's primary concern is the safety oft e victim, and therefore offers equal services to victims of domestic violence who are living it enal health and/or substance abuse issues by providinginformation and referral for support services to address additional needs based on each individual. Cultural and issue sensitive services are provided to underserved populations, including gay/lesbian/bisexual and trans en er community, the elderly, the Hispanic community, the Africa n-America n community, and the immigrant community. Services are victim/survivor-centered, trauma informed and empowerment base . Professionally trained staff offer information and support it compassion and respect, supporting tha self-identified oals of each individual. E. Approach S will meet the cash match requirement forte FCADV grant by continuing o sponsor successful fundraising events, developing newfundraising initiatives, and securing new rant contracts. v The DAS Board of Directors and the Executive Director are continuing o work on developing a diversified funding strategy that includes planned giving programs, endowment programs, capital improvement plans and annual fund drives.

Zonta is a community-driven program in unique partnership with like organizations such as our sister Club in Key West. Together we provide a comprehensive mammogram program for all three regions of Monroe County. The Zonta Club of Marathon was established in May of 1990 thanks to the Zonta Club of Key West. Together the Clubs continue the work that was established many years ago as a top priority. Zonta strives to increase the number of preventative healthcare procedures being performed in Monroe County. It is imperative that no uninsured resident of our county not seek the availability or finances to have a lifesaving test completed. Zonta depends heavily on the community to support our mission but we are often called upon by other agencies to coordinate other community initiatives. Zonta recognizes that combining efforts allows the organizations to accomplish more with less.We are very proud of our community partnerships. Our approach to enriching the fives of Women&Children by fostering positive experiences in all facets of our community. Our request to the SAFF Grant Committee this year is for$5,000. These funds will allow Zonta to once again offer the health program as well as continue to build strong community outreach in all relevant domains;individual,community,peer,school, home and family. Everyone has a role to play-we are not separated in this task but bound together to ensure the health and wellbeing of our community.The Club is loaded with talent and we need to help our community locate the resources that will lead to strong healthy families. 0 Zonta has learned that our programs are far more productive and reach a Larger number of those in need and deliver a bigger impact when the programs do not lose momentum therefore we have plans to continue the y programing regardless of the community circumstances. Zonta did not allow a merger between two hospitals or a Hurricane called Itma derail our mammogram program.The Club did Whatever It Takes to keep the program floating.We have an informal relationship with Mammography Services of Key West that has grown over the last 3 years. They provide quality services at affordable prices to assure that Zonta dollars go further during the transitional times our community has suffered while we await the reopening of Fishermen's mammography outpatient offices and or a formal arrangement with Baptist South as been formulated so that procedures can be W performed at Matinees Hospital.During this time we utilize the main iograin voucher program at Lower Keys Medical Center and the affordable rates offered to the community at Mammography Services of Key West.

Many service organizations ve programs that come and go they address the popular issue in society but Zonta knows that offering a program year after year makes the difference in e community. e health committee program helps alleviate stress by havinga test performed at might be put off. Knowingat you can get early detection and or negative results will help to relieve worry.Zonta prides it-self o the letters of appreciation d gratitude for helping people in . m es of trouble. I"he funding from the S F F grant ill go directly to continuing to increase the number of screening o a s performed.1he primary fools of this organization is to deliver solutions to concerns our community encounters te due to that lack of or inability to pay for health care. Zonta.determined a need in e community 30 years ago and we are committed to overcoming obstacles that stand in our way that assure coax unity health. Through direct,in-direct d advocacy service to our community we will Delp the residents find a solution to theit health associated issues. oa ® c � es a_ c es® This year's board elected to continue to stand behind e previous mission,vision and moral values statements. e entire club takes an oath when being installed as a member to Therefore we believe in Zonta Internationars four Biennium Goals created by the International Board that ask gas to Help resolve on the local level. Clubs are required to implement programs on the following topics: 1. Working to end violence against women. 2. Identity areas that would contribute to the end of economic inequality. . Exploring ways to enhance the quality of education for women&children 4. Improving the hives of Women&Children pth access to health care. cv This Biennium 203 -2020 focus has not changed uch from e long history of supporting Rights of Women and W Children. Out organization s been participating in many ways to raise awareness of these global concerns. I °s is how e club attacks e issue in our society# 4. • Reduce the number of residents who avoid getting preventative health care procedures. • Advocate service providers to discount procedural casts for s ed. c • Generate understanding between all stakeholders how e can improve access and affordability. • Communicate resources available. • Network continuously while the Keys obtain, d retain healthcare providers. • Partner with like organizations overlapping and enhancing resources. C. BaftwmadAnd5ignifigaam Fishermen's Community Hospital has played a big role in e program for many years. Zonta continues to work0 with Baptist South. The Health Committee has communicated out concerns with various e a ent heads and representatives from aptist to assure that they are committed to restoring is valuable relationship for the neediest residents of die Keys.The Health Department has Always been involved-and helps connect patients and resources to providers of services. Zonta also refers eligible personsin need to the FL Breast&Cervical Cancer y Detection Program when applicable.Knowing like organizations in our County that offer similar services helps out fundingherd d.reach more people in need. Zonta is aware and continually refer the destitute to programs like the The Good Health Chnic who provide extensive medical services to the poorest of our community. Zonta also has partnered with Area Health Education Center( ECa) again stretching` ourresources and complementing our s'ability to pay for more extensive mammography services.The School Nurses have been informed and distribute rack cards to families in need of help with medications and or medical services otherwise not coveted by H Ca services. Packet Pg. 2114 D.T_r et Fopulation. Zonta's target population are all Monroe County residents. Zonta seeks to serve as many transients as well why because time saves lives and many persons move to the Keys for seasonal reasons. Early detection makes a difference and we discovered that some people spend each and every season with us and have established a relationship with a particular provider of care who offers a discount to the patients if we approve paying for their mammogram. Zonta recognizes that the best programs are ones that have no boundaries;therefore,Zonta will continue its comprehensive approach to our community outreach program. The Club has long recognized the existence of a distinct population of low-income females in the Florida Keys—best characterized as "working-poor"—who do not have the insurance or financial resources to cover the costs of mammograms. With the help of the SAFF Grant we can eliminate the deadly situation of this totally treatable,yet otherwise fatal,disease going undiagnosed. Of course,the number of Monroe County residents who will be helped by your generous donation goes well beyond the treated women alone.Needlessly,families, spouses and children spend their lives without mothers who have gone undiagnosed and fall prey to breast cancer.These devastated family members are then at higher risk for depression,behavioral maladies,substance abuse,criminal behavior and overwhelming loss. Zonta fosters unity and has an open door policy for any person in need to just ask for help as indicated on our rack cards. If the Club is unable to help we will make every attempt to connect the person in need with the appropriate organization to meet their need. E.Approach Method. o In 2014,the Zonta Club of Marathon and many of our established funding sources and partners believed that the y National Healthcare changes,commonly known as Affordable Healthcare Act,would provide funding for all women in need of mammograms. Surprisingly,it did not. Unfortunately,the Club thought our mammogram program would be underutilized and turned its attention to other matters. In the middle of the year,it became obvious that women in need were regularly falling through the"eligibility"cracks and could not receive desperately needed mam iogram cancer screenings. The insurance for all was very difficult to obtain and once again this vulnerable population was once again looking to Zonta for help. On this day our Helpline serves as a Hotline for W Healthcare in the Keys. So many changes in the Keys impact the availability of and the affordability of medical services. Due to the merger of Fishermen's Community Hospital and Baptist South many healthcare providers relocated to more lucrative parts of the country.The merger also contributed to the streamlining of services provided.Mammography Services were no longer being offered in Marathon.Many insurance companies did not have a relationship with Baptist so those patients now had to go off the island for their procedures. One of the Monroe County School District insurance plans required patients to have mammograms at a facility in Miami. Causing the staff member to take a day off work to have a preventative health care procedure performed. Zonta's approach once again is Whatever It Takes.The Club adapts to the every changing issues of access and affordable healthcare.We want to alleviate the frustrations associated with having yearly health examinations and mammograms. F. Resources and Cost:, 0 Zonta does not like to say no to anyone in need from benefitting from our program because of their inability to pay for health care. Zonta is committed to cost effective programming that will make the biggest impact on the improved health of our community. Steadies show the last thing a person will do when experiencing financial difficulty is to eliminate health&dental cost especially preventative health care costs.The result can be serious health conditions or lives lost.The SAFF grant will cover only a fraction of the Health Committee Budget of $15,683.50. The Zonta Club of Marathon will continue to fundraise to support this valuable program.The Club knows that creativity will be Key to finding new ways to fund our ambitious desire to serve all of those uninsured persons in out community.The Zonta Club of Marathon members all provide many hours of volunteer labor and financial assistance.The amount of volunteer time is grossly underestimated due to all the regulations and rules associated with partnering with a health care institution.Again,Zonta is committed to WIT.

Especially now that Monroe County has such CD C44 a high turnover of residents.The hospitality industry and.tourism require a large number of staff to covet the high CD C44 season and the majority of these persons work more than one job but do not have insurance. Healthcare is so costly for employers the vast trajotity employ large num.hers of seasonal and/or part fime help that does not require them 0 to offer benefits. Our Parhiers like the Guidance Care Clinic,CHI (Community Health of South FL,Inc.) and Womankind are well versed in assuring that patients receive quality,timely healthcare. 0 H. Financial Statement Zonta's tnammogram program will undergo another transformation in our 2020-2021 fiscal year. It is difficult for Zonta to continue to operate as we always have.The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (PAP A) cc N protects the privacy of a patienes information.Therefore,Zonta will formally enter into a contract with Mammography Services of Key West.This formal partnership will assure that the needs and privacy of those we serve are met.Mammography Services of Key West has dramatically discounted the fees of the 3 major procedures for a prepaid voucher program.The screening mammograrn fee is$600.00 the discount is$481.00,the diagnostic E matntnograrn is $330.00 with a$188.00 discount and the ultrasound fee of$450.00 is discounted by$355.00. SAFF's support of this program has already afforded Zonta to foster this arrangement.The dollars 0 will further than ever before with this partnership. 9 < Closing Comments: `Ihe Zont-a Club of Marathon Foundation,Inc. sincerely hopes that the Monroe County Sheriff's Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund will award us$5,000.00 to continue our efforts® '1he Zonta Club of Marathon celebrates 30 years of"improving the status of women&children"in 2020 and sincerely appreciates the support of the Monroe County Sheriffs Office.

The Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition seeks funding to sustain our Keys to Kids Safety. The funds will be utilized to purchase and store child-related safety equipment to help keep children safe. We are the sole program in Monroe County providing certified technicians to educate parents and assist with car seat installation. The Coalition's Keys to Kids Safety program provided 185 reduced or no cost children's car seats during the past year. We provided more than 210 free child bicycle helmets were distributed, a significant increase from 70 helmets in 2018. We also provided more than 50 pack 'n' play baby bed systems, ensuring safe sleep for newborns and their families. In addition, our effective partnership with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and Key West Police Department allows the Coalition to provide education and equipment to families found out of compliance with the State's child passenger safety laws and helps to prevent criminal sanctions for 55 these parents. Funds awarded locally are leveraged to meet match requirements for more than $400,000 in Coalition contracts. The Coalition addresses safety issues with all interested Monroe County parents through a proven and established network of community partners, monthly workshops and playgroups, individual appointments, safety _ events, an annual education publication, and outreach through the Coalition's core programs. Our team of 22 y trained and certified volunteer technicians offers guidance to properly install children's car seats, provides new seats as needed, and shares general child passenger safety information. In 2019, technicians found that 92% of the 168 car seats inspected this past year were installed incorrectly - and parents were unaware they were not following proper safety recommendations. Our program helps save lives by educating parents and providing critical equipment to keep children safe. N Safety data from the State of Florida indicates Monroe County children are at greater safety risk than most Florida children. Parents' ability to comply with laws intended to protect their children directly improves safety outcomes in Monroe County. Our area's high cost of living and the increasing poverty rate for children in our community are significant factors when parents are faced with paying rent and feeding their children versus buying the necessary equipment to keep a child safe. Parents want to do the best they can for their children by providing a safe environment but need education and resources to support their efforts. Our ability to offer a car seat, bike helmet, or safety gate unburdens families and keeps children safe and healthy. Florida law enforcement issued over 8,700 citations last year to motorists for not properly securing children in a vehicle. The most recent Children's Safety Network study for Florida indicates that 25% of fatalities in children ages 0-4 were cases where children were not restrained. The same study indicates car safety seats can reduce fatalities by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers (ages 1-4). Booster seats reduce the risk of serious injury by 45% for children ages 4 to 8 years. There is a major disconnect between the effectiveness of car safety seats and their proper use. In addition, Florida ranks first in the top ten states for bicycle fatalities: This has been the case for the last ten years. Helmets have been shown to reduce risk of head injury by 85% to protect children from preventable injuries and deaths. The Coalition is requesting $10,000 to sustain our program across the entire Keys and allow us to pursue our goal for every child in Monroe County to have the necessary equipment to ensure their safety. The ongoing success of our current program is dependent upon a partnership of funding sources between the Sheriff's Asset Forfeiture Fund in the Middle and Lower Keys and the Ocean Reef Community Foundation in the Upper Keys. (Funds provided by the Ocean Reef Community Foundation for this program component may only be spent in the Upper Keys area.) The Coalition would have to consider decreasing services from Marathon to Key West without adequate funding through SAFF even though 70% of the County's population and children reside here. We must continue to educate, equip, and empower parents to protect the physical health of our community's children and to support compliance with child passenger safety laws. 3 Packet Pg. 2119 Application: Florida ys Healthy Start Coalition's "Keys to Klds' Safety" (pages 4 through A. Introduction, Describe the overall organization, its qualification relevant to this request, and its capacity to manage the project. The Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition (The Coalition, F ) unites people and resources to improve the health and ell-being of pregnant o en, children, and their families in Monroe County. The Coalition is an organization comprised of many community partners and programs designed to ensure pregnant women and children receive necessary supportive services without regard to their ability top —cost should not be a barrier to thewell-being of children. The Coalitionserves over three-fourths of the approximately 750 babies born in Monroe County each year, before, during n after pregnancy. We stay with families until their children reach kindergarten and serve thousands of children ages 0-5. Our organization has grown to meet the needs of pregnant women, infants, and their families in the Keys. Pregnancy affords us a nine-month window of opportunity to build relationships with families, to provide preventative and intervening services, and to break generational cycles reaching the goal of healthy and thriving families. c FKHSC is Monroe County's MI organization specifically helping families before, during, and after pregnancy. y e do this through the following core programs: • The Healthy Start program is a free, multilingual home visiting program of services provided in partnership it the Florida Department of Health in Monroe County. This program helps women and their families bring healthy babies into our community. During FY 18-19 767 women and their unborn or infant children received 17, 76 services through Healthy Start. W • The Healthy Babies program provides subsidized prenatal medical care to uninsured and underserve women in Monroe County and subsidized mental health services for uninsured and un erserved 2 others and families experiencing erinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders ( ), miscarriages, and fetal/infant loss. In the next 12-18 months we have the goal to expand our Healthy Babies program to include labor and delivery doula services, which have been proven to reduce the cast of prenatal care and birth as well as improving in outcomes and reducing incidence of PMAD challenges after babies are born. • The Keys to Kids' Safety program provides community outreach initiatives and multiple child safety resources to parents and their families in partnership it the Monroe County Sheriff's Department ( C ), Key West Police Department ( ), Florida Department of Healthin Monroe County, and other community partners to support both individual children and agencies such as Wesley House Family Services, Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, and the Florida Department of Childrenand Families. Our expanding program provides equipment, services, and consume Ies to ensure infant and child safety in home environments and when traveling, and includes infant/child car and booster seats, infant/child bicycle seats, bicycle helmets, cribs and beds forsafe sleep, and home safety education and equipment. t - ® The Keys to Growing Kids program facilitates� lh�<�� r E � � family health and education for parents and the community, addresses early childhood development and education through Tot Time, Wiggles & Giggles, and Nurture Your Newborn �� :„ � �� gg gg � �� groups as well as the health and well-being of our s � '� ��'` t tiniest citizens during their first few years of life. Our Keys to Growing Kids programs help make sus sure children are ready and thriving by the time they enter kindergarten. We also provide education, advocacy, and outreach to all people living in the Keys about maternal and child health. 4 Packet Pg. 2120 Max's Angels addresses the immediate and long term support needs for Keys mothers and families facing the loss of a child of any age. Immediate support is offered to families in crisis and includes mental health resources, assistance with arrangements, logistical support for families, and more. Long term support includes support group meetings, wellness activities, and hosting a network of mothers and families facing this tragedy. The Keys to Kids" Safety program includes our very successful car seat program for which funding is sought. It is a highly praised and established Keys®wide program and is the only such program in the County. Over the past 13 years, our Keys to ids' Safety program has recruited and coordinated a team ofthoroughly trained and nationally certified volunteers (including sheriff's deputies, police officers, fire rescue personnel, hospital staff, and other community members) ®who have assisted at more than 30 Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition safety events. Our services include car seat installation and inspection events held throughout the County, as well as individual assistance when requested, and for caregivers of new babies upon leaving the hospital. These certified technicians provide the critical community education necessary for parents to safely transport their children. SAFF funding will sustain our car seat safety program, facilitate k rr additional requirements associated with booster seat legislation for ` older children, provide infant and toddler helmets, and meet other c community children's safety needs. The existing funding partnership between the Ocean Reef Community Foundation in the Upper Keys � and SAFF funding in the Middle and Lower Keys has historically -� z , ensured the Coalitions ability to meet the needs of our entire community's children. our Community Liaison staff located in the Upper Keys, Middle Keys, and Lower Keys build relationships with � pp Y Y , Y p � families and are able to identify and support the safety needs of children in our community. Local partners consistently refer clients to our organization as an outlet for families needing additional resources and support given our established reputation in this area of service to Monroe County. These existing partnerships and 7-year track record position us for continued success at delivering safety equipment and education to children and families in the Keys. { a f also Objectives and Outcomes (What needs to be done). s � Supply documentation of the need if it is available. The Coalition works to ensure families are aware of the safety needs of their children and then affords them the tools necessary to act. Parents leave individual sessions, playgroups, and workshops wanting to know CD more about how to protect their children. These benefits ripple across the family and create a brighter future for our entire community. Our nationally certified volunteer technicians are recruited, trained, and managed through theCoalition's Keys to Kids' Safety program. In 2019, they found a staggering % of the 16 car E seats inspected were not properly installed. Goal 1: Provide County-wide child safety education and outreach resulting in increased parental involvement and empowerment through continued partnership with law enforcement, first responders, and other community partners. Objective: Teach 300 parents proper safety techniques through our events, individual referrals, and interventions to increase parental confidence and ability to protect their children; to include the provision of appropriate equipment to 200 families in the Middle and Lower Keys. 5 Packet Pg. 2121 Outcome: Increase in parent involvement and changed behaviors relating to the health and safety of their children, and compliance with legal regulations while children are traveling. Goal 2: Provide essential services and necessary equipment to 100% of Monroe County residents requesting such assistance to fully meet community need. Obiggliye: Continue to expand the Keys for Kids' Safety program in the Middle and Lower Keys to increase accessibility of safety information and equipment for the following safety categories: vehicle, bike, water/drowning prevention, safe sleep and home safety for Monroe County parents who are identified as experiencing barriers to this information and equipment. Outcome: Decreased incidence of injury or death while children are traveling, playing in their home, sleeping, or enjoying Monroe County's beautiful environment; building a culture of community safety and enhanced quality of life in the Florida Keys. C. Background and Significance (Why this project its important to the community). a, 0 ver the past fewyears, greater economic challenges have significantly �@,� �I ,C s � impacted the needs of Coalition clients and their ability to provide for their ` _ f families. Our area's rapidly increasing cost of living, prohibitive housing costs, and escalating poverty rate of children in our community pose a significant barrier to consumer spending on necessary safety-related items ' v) for the protection of our most vulnerable citizens. Poverty has been N identified as one of the leading risk factors contributing to unintentional W incidents of injury. In 201 42% of Monroe Count households already y ,, r lived below the ALICE threshold. The ALICE report also states that basic essentials in the "Household urvival Budget" (Housing, Childcare, Food, Transportation, Health Care, and Taxes) were more expensive in Monroe ca County than anywhere else in Florida. Parents want to do the best they can fortheir children by providing a safe environment in which they may grow and develop but need education and resources to support their efforts. f e The Coalition's Community Liaison staff of trained educators report parents are not expending their limited funds on some of the most basic and important child-safety needs. Professional staff routinely provide interventions to reduce risks and improve health and safety outcomes but report infants and children have been found in the following dangerous situations: riding in cars without safety seats; sleeping in hazardous c conditions known to lead to suffocation and infant death; living in homes without any child-proofing, exposing children to poisons and other household dangers; being transported on bicycles without safety gear; extending time spent in an unchanged diaper, or using expired or diluted formula. These situations all increase a child's likely need for medical intervention. Parents simply do not understand the physical harm that could come to their child based upon their decisions. Children living in Monroe County are at an increased risk of injury or death given the unique demographic and geographic constraints or our community. Monroe Count 's roadways consistently rank as the most dangerous in many traffic indicators for small counties in Florida and include significantly higher numbers of traffic crashes involving injuries, total fatality and injury accidents, alcohol-related bicycle and pedestrian incidents, and aggressive driving crashes. The implications for injuries resulting from an avoidable safety-related injury can b long-lasting and have a far greater impact than on the child alone. Every $75 child safety seat saves the country $160 in medical expenses, in future earnings and other resource costs, an 150 in quality of life costs. Car seat installation events costapproximately 0 per seat but return 75 times that amount in terms of total costs saved in our community. 6 Packet Pg. 2122 D. Target u ation ill be served specifically? e Gender? Special Circumstances?) The Kids to Keys' Safety program is not limited by age or gender. The Coalition serves all Monroe County parents/caregivers, children and their families requesting services, regardless of income or any other factors. Families receiving services typically have children under the ages -5, though often children through age require booster seats while traveling in cars. We strive to ensure that our limited resources are going to help those families most in need. SAFF dollars will be spent for services in the Middle and Lower Keys. E. Approach Method.. Ho ill the project be ones Where will it be one? hen2 What staffing is required?) The Keys to ids' Safety program is offered in conjunction with other Coalition programs through our strong County-wide infrastructure serving 0 Keys' families. We will utilize community resources, media connections, U_ and explore both current (MCSC, KWUP®, ®CH, etc. and new year-round n` " '"= business partnerships to reach our broader target audience of all families C with children. The Coalition already participates in events engaging " retailers such as K-Mart, Home Depot, Fublix, and Winn-Dixie and will � continue to use these locations as part of our expanded safety initiatives. v Parents in need of specific items, or with concerns about their child's \, safety, can self-refer or be referred by community partners from lavero � ,4 enforcement, social service, and health care disciplines. In addition, the o Coalition's annual community-wide publication reaches 25,000 households which may not be aware of our expanded services that are c s, � available to all families in Monroe County. This publication continues to ,z enhance the broader community's understanding of the importance of family safety and availability of assistance through distribution in the local paper, hospitals, physician's offices, clinics, community events and health/safety fairs. SAFF funding will allow the Coalition to maintain and s expand our current program in the Middle andLower Keys. While always known as the `pre nancy' resource in the Keys, the Coalition's growing community presence as the 'go to' agency for chilren's safety requires increased organizational support. The Coalition has effectively employed an innovative hybrid approach to volunteers and program staff integration to execute this program. Our program is dependent upon partnerships with other agencies to avoid duplication of services and maximize service delivery throughout Monroe County. The Coalition serves as a well-established referral resource when families have been cited as non-compliant with existing child passenger laws - and an effective deterrent to prevent criminal sanctions. We plan to continue to use our partnerships, our Healthy Start network, our 22 trained volunteers, and our FTE Certified Instructors to conduct community events as well as one-on- one scheduled appointments throughout the year.

The Coalition receives kcal donations to offset additional costs for the safe sleep and home safety prevention y portion of our Keys to ids' Safety program. County-wide funding from United Way, during their 2019-2020 funding cycle, supports the nutrition/food safety component of Keys to ids' Safety, and a private Family Foundation covers supplemental resource needs. The Ocean Reef Community Foundation has graciously supported this critical program in the Upper Keys. The Coalition will seek continued funding from all these organizations for the 2020 grant cycle. However, our most densely populated area of the County remains vulnerable without continued child safety funding through the SAF . 2 ,At one time, the State subsidized car seat costs; � however, the Coalition must now pay the full cost c c, for all car and booster seats. SAFF funds are separate from the support sought from the County's Human Services Advisory Board for the 4 provision of prenatal care and mental health services for women who would otherwise have no access to medical care. Although both programs are managed by the Coalition, they are unrelated and require separate funding streams. y o G. ustainability (For projects that may be asking for funds for more than one year, how ill the project be sustained upon termination of this funding.) a� The Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition strives to meet our clients' most pressing needs in the most efficient and fiscally responsible manner possible, We continue to establish partnerships and access alternative funding sources in order to best serve families and maximize our resources. The SAFF will be used to generate match dollars to bring additional funding into our community through new State contracts and private grants. The Coalition believes we will be able to impact the actual culture of our community through education and supportive assistance. Safety should be the norm and a priority even during periods of challenging economic realities. Our capacity to empower parents to increase their ability to safely care for their children will in turn impact other local areas of concern such as the child welfare system, health care costs, and quality of life. The 8 Packet Pg. 2124 Coalition and our partners have an opportunity to impact this critical local need and influence our community's culture in a manner that will facilitate the goals of the program beyond immediate funding efforts.

The program is 1 % volunteer based. Nobody involved with the program receives compensation. Every Saturday morning 22 volunteers cook the food and package the.meals.

C E F N �c C U Packet Pg. 2129 MILAI�PUCAMON J.1.0 A. Introduction The Cooking with Love program was founded by Metropolitan Community Church in 1 in response to need by elders for both social contact and home cooked meals. Many elderly and physically in firmed on the island live in isolation and do not have the means to prepare meals for a variety of physical,medical, and economic reasons. e program started by calling the local Helpline older reassurance call list. Of the 23 elders who were offered a weekly meal, 20 accepted, After the first delivery to the senior citizen complex.on Kennedy Drive, one client wrote a thank you note explaining at it was her first"home cooked"meal in over 3 years. Within two months,the program had grown to over 60 meals a week. Today, Cooking with Love delivers 168 meals each Saturday and distributes 80 grocery bags every other week. Each meal is lame enough to last throughout the weekend. l e meals are prepared by volunteer chefs the Church's commercial kitchen. Volunteers then package the meals in sated, eco- ien ,to-go containers y and teams deliver therm throughout Key West. B. Go*,ObjectWes,and Outcomes U) The goal of Cooking Love is to improve the nutritional value of the weekly meals by increasing e use of proteins,fresh fruits and vegetables while decreasing e used of canned goods. y According to the World Health Organization micromitrient deficiencies are often common in elderly people due to a number of factors such as their reduced food intake and a lack of variety in the foods they eat. Another factor is the price of foods rich in micromitrients,which er discourages their consumption. Compounding this situation is the fact that the older people often suffer from decreased immune function, which contributes to this group's increased morbidity and mortality. Other significant age-related changes include the loss of c ognitive function and deteriorating vision, all of which hinder good health and dietary habits in old age. 0 For more than 28 years the Cooking with Lave program has worked to reduce the risk of disease and malnutrition for vulnerable Key West residents. 0. C. Bacirground and c Since 1991, Cooking with Lowe has delivered home cooked food to the Key West community every Saturday with e exception of a singe Saturday during Hurricane Wilma and twoduring Hurricane Irma. Se `ors who qualify for County sponsored"Meals-on-Wheels"receive 5 frozen TV er style meals per week Cooking with Lowe provides large enough meals to feed the se °ors for the additional two days. According to the USDA, seniors represent a particularly vulnerable demographic uniquewith nutrition challenges 'ch may include decreased mobility,limited shopping and cooking and health challenges, � e positive impact on clients' physical and mental health is difficult to measure quantitatively,but it is undeniable. Thank you letters are received frequently. 5 Packet Pg. 2130 Most Cooking Love clients live alone. For many clients contact with the volunteers is the only social interaction they receive each week D. Target population The vast majority of Cooking Love's clients are ages 05 and over and on a fixed income. While the elderly and poor are the main targets of the program, Cooking Love never excludes anyone from the program based on their income,race, color,religion, sox(including ender identity, and sexual orientation),national origin, age or disability. Clients are not required to attend or endorse Metropolitan Communitynor any other Church. So e clients are referred by Monroe County In-Horne Supportive Services, but most are on the list due to word of mouth and Cooldrig with Love often en has a waiting list for meals. a1a Male % y •Female r 5 % ala Caucasian 1°/a ala African American 2 % °la s a or Latino afa--- E. Approach Method I'lie project is overseen by a volunteer with many years of experience coordinating schedules,vol steer staff, , anus and budgets for Cooking Love. e project is implemented y a staff of 42 rotating volunteers at Metropolitan Community Churchlocated at 1215 Petro 'a Street,Key West. Each week volunteer cooks and helpers design a menu, shop for the groceries, prepare the food and distribute it to the co When possible, the groceries for the bags to be distributed are secured through FKOC, Far are, or other non-profits to help keep costs down. This is not always possible due to the strict regulations of food donations. 6 On occasion, a member of the community(not necessarily an attendee of theChurch)may choose to partially sponsor a weekend meal for $250. The sponsor is recognized by a printed label that is placed on each food container. N 10 volunteer has ever been reimbursed for their time and nobody has been paid nor will be paid for volunteering for Cooking Love. e groceries and food bags are purchased on Fridays. The cooks generally start on or before 8:00 AM on Saturdays.The other volunteers begin individually packaging the meals around : , and typically,the food has been entirely distributed to the community by noon that day. If awarded, we will utilize SAFF funding to purchase meat for client meals for 1/2the year, fresh vegetables for e grocery bags and biodegradable containers. Packet Pg. 2131 Meals may include ham,m atloaf,beef,pork,potatoes, salad, oranges,strawberries,melon&other nutrient rich f J.1.u' F. Resources and Costs As described above, Cooking Love relies on donations from the church and cmembers. However,the program is faced with increasingdemand to add more clients as well as ever increasing food costs and the cost of supplies. e ravens in the church run on propane and are aft.. Cooking Love is in e process of a project t renovate the commercial kitchen to be in ositien to be able to prepare more meals and serve more seniors. There is currently ai ' list. The program ids it increasingly diffic t to fill up 80 grocery bags e to the already high cost of goods— evert simple canned goods and non-perishables like rice and pasta. Food deliveries were cut back so the grocery bags are now delivered every other week instead of weekly in previous years. U- Cooking with Love was fortunate to have received grant funding in 2016 from the United Way of the Florida Keys which was temporarily increased to $14,000 due to hurricane relief. This was used to purchase fresh fruit � for 52 weeks of the year. This allowed us to eliminate cooldes and other sugary eserts.This was reduced t 4, 0 in 2019.

Many have just lost or just started work.Some have recently been released from jail,a hospital,or a mental health/addictions hospitalization.Sometimes,a family separation has led to homelessness. Many are chronically homeless.The homeless people who come to Independence Cay for help most often have no other supports or family in their lives. Law Enforcement and Probation Services often request assistance for this structured housing and other services in order to improve a client's chances at avoiding further interaction with the law enforcement community. WHAT: Independence Cay provides transitional housing for up to 18 men at a time who have made a commitment to living a sober lifestyle and getting back on their feet through work and improved health. There is also a soup kitchen seven days a week that provides a hot, nutritious meal (more than 17,000 in 2019)and the availability of showers and laundry as well as assessment of additional needs and help accessing needed services. WHERE: Independence Cay is located at 1669 Overseas Highway, Marathon and includes the transitional residence,the soup kitchen and day services. o WHY:Assisting the homeless increases the chances of stabilizing their lives and becoming more y desirable and productive members of the community.The encouragement and supports for working and developing healthy habits benefit the individual but also the community as a whole. Successful supports lead to fewer incarcerations,fewer crimes, less emergency room visits, improved health, less drug and alcohol abuse,etc.The community can't afford to write homeless individuals off when there is the cv possibility they could become a great asset as functioning community members. WHEN:The transitional housing is a 24/7 program with round the clock staff.The soup kitchen, laundry, showers,and day services are available seven days a week for four hours per day. HOW: Each prospective participant in the transitional housing program is interviewed to ascertain their commitment and motivation to remain sober,obtain work, re-establish work related documents and healthy relationships, learn to manage money and improve their health.Alcohol and drug testing is administered at admission and frequently at random or with cause thereafter.All 15 men who are currently in transitional housing came to Independence Cay chronically homeless and without employment.All 15 are now working full-time and orearin to move into more inde_pendent housing. Most had alcohol and/or drug abuse issues but are now sober. m Each person requesting the day services which include the soup kitchen, laundry,showers, and further assistance will be served without regard to race, creed, national origin,sexual orientation, religion or gender.Trained staff engages clients to develop a collaborative, helping relationship. Needs are assessed during the day program and case management is implemented to resolve obstacles that are impeding self-sufficiency.Thirty-five to fefty individuals come to the souk kitchendaservices every day. HOW MUCH: Independence Cay respectfully requests$7,000 and addresses the top priorities of the Sheriff's Department of crime prevention,drug and alcohol abuse and prevention,and the mental and physical health of adults. Packet Pg. 2136 J.1.v Introduction Independence Cay, located in Marathon,was founded in 2009 by a broad base of local community leaders who wanted to ensure that services for the homeless would continue when the previous Higher Love Mission disbanded.Services were deemed so critical that the IRS granted it 501(c)3 status in less than 40 days.We meet the basic needs of homeless and or hungry men,women and children in the Keys.These needs include transitional housing for up to 18 men at a time,a daily soup kitchen (for 35-50 daily),facilities for personal hygiene (i.e. laundry and showers),an inclement weather shelter,tailored housing assistance for women as well as assistance with addictions and joblessness. Both the need for Independence Cay's services and the recognition of the successful day to day operation are wholly embraced by our community leaders.This is evidenced by the number and depth of the volunteers that go there daily to help serve, cook, and provide additional services.This is also evidenced by the support from Monroe County and United Way,and the number of requests for assistance from the Sheriff's Department, probation, hospitals and clinics, community providers and word of mouth. The transitional housing can accommodate 18 men at a time and the soup kitchen and day services never turn anyone away. It is clean and bright, in compliance with all health and safety regulations,and is current on all of its financial commitments.We are a member in good standing with the Monroe y County Homeless Services Continuum of Care and a United Way agency. Our performance statistics are impressive in the number of people served and the efficient utilization of every dollar donated. It is also impressive in the number of clients that have improved their housing situation, obtained work, improved health,etc.There is 24/7 supervision and the extent of its services is possible with a small budget because of the daily volunteers who assist. W Goals The goal is to promote successful re-entry of the homeless into the community and increase self- sufficiency to move to more independent living.This is done by providing transitional housing for up to 18 men at a time.They must show that they are committed to a sober lifestyle,obtaining work, budgeting and saving monies for more permanent housing, improving their health and re-establishing productive relationships with family and the community.72 men have utilized the transitional housin N in 2019. The goal is to provide nutritious, hot meals seven days a week with a high standard of nutrition and to m never turn anyone away for this meal.This means serving 35-50 people each day with supervision to ensure safety and supervision to assess additional needs and assist to access resources.(more than 17�000 meals in 2019 The goal is to provide access to personal hygiene for the homeless in the Keys.This is done by offering laundry and showers seven days a week.15500 in 2019 The goal is to provide homeless women alternative housing arrangements either by relocating them back to family or connecting them with available resources in the Keys. The goal is to closely collaborate with KAIR to ensure that all needed services are provided but not duplicated.There has been a fluid collaboration between the two organizations that includes the Packet Pg. 2137 J.1.v volunteers. (When needs are assessed at day service program,they are then connected to KAIR for follow-up.) The outcomes of the above goals are that nutritious food, better hygiene,a safe place to sleep, and comprehensive case management all promote reduced crime and law enforcement interventions, reduced drug and alcohol use, and improved physical and mental health. Background and Significance Independence Cay is committed to assisting those individuals displaced from permanent housing and living on the street, in derelict boats, in cars,and in substandard living situations.This has become even more critical since Hurricane Irma hit the islands in September of 2017 .The hardest hit housing was the low-income, more vulnerable housing and what was a problem has now become a critical issue for our community. Petty crime, panhandling and vagrancy are often the result of homelessness. Being released from jail into homelessness leads to a high re-offend rate and being on probation while homeless often leads to c probation violations and re-arrest. A hot meal and a place to get clean is a welcoming environment.Assessment and coordination of any additional needs,including substance abuse treatment,and temporary housing that includes counseling can result in a decreased burden on the sheriffs department as well as the community as a whole.This specialized place for the homeless to go for comprehensive help also provides a better experience for our residents, snowbirds,and tourists as there is no reason to resort to panhandling, loitering, W shoplifting, or being dirty on the street. Target Population Our target population is men,women and children who have been displaced from their permanent housing. Clients come to Independence Cay from all over the Keys.Some come because they have recently arrived in the Keys from other places and didn't realize how difficult it was going to be to establish themselves in work and housing. Clients live in the woods, in their cars, in abandoned boats. They may come from jail,the hospital or recent stays in substance abuse treatment. Our typical client is primarily male, between 30-60 years of age, not employed full-time and in dire need of physical, mental, dental health treatment, substance abuse treatment,and social services as well as work documents,job search, counseling,and budgeting. Although the number of homeless women is much smaller than the number of homeless men,they are not rare and families with children are also served at Independence Cay. Independence Cay works with the schools and Child Protective Services to ensure that children, who are especially vulnerable, have a watchful eye over them. Packet Pg. 2138 J.1.v Approach Method Independence Cay helps men, women,and families put their lives back together by offering hot meals, supervised housing,supports for substance abuse recovery, protection from dangerous weather, referrals to appropriate social and health services,shower and laundry facilities and a safe environment in which to be assessed for additional needs.We make every effort to follow-through with the services necessary to give them a chance to become productive members of the community again. Independence Cay is open and staffed 24/7 and helps the homeless by: Restoring personal hygiene,cleanliness and personal care Supplying nutritious meals Preparing people to re-enter the workforce or improve their work situation Arranging medical,vision,dental,and mental health services Offering a safe place with counseling 0 Reuniting individuals with family especially out of the county family Referring to appropriate services and encouraging and providing substance abuse support g g p g pport groups It is always a delicate balance between wanting to assist a hurting, needy individual and certifying that they indeed need our help. Independence Cay fully realizes the value and importance of such `V "certification of need"especially since we are partially funded by taxpayers. Because of that,we have W levels of certification for different programs starting with"easy"for people who are hungry and want a rj meal through the soup kitchen to "detailed and challenging"for those who desire transitional housing. Transitional housing clients are interviewed and must show a commitment to a sober lifestyle, ambition to better themselves through work, motivation to work towards improved physical and mental health, and a willingness to work as a cooperative "family"with fellow residents.All transitional housing residents are required to agree to and sign a code of conduct.An extensive interview helps with making plans for needed services and goals for success.Transitional housing clients must meet individual milestones to continue at Independence Cay and drug and alcohol tests are performed and administered at admission as well as at frequent random intervals. Resources and Costs We are respectfully requesting$7,000 as we are the only organization outside of Key West that is helping the homeless in the Florida Keys and have stepped up to a major responsibility of helping the homeless that local governments have not solved. Independence Cay has round the clock staff supervision and a lot is accomplished with very little.This happens through volunteer support, in-kind donations and the work of the clients themselves. Packet Pg. 2139 J.1.v This grant will assist to keep the day to day operations able to function and allow the transitional housing clients to be admitted with a small grace period before being expected to financially participate in their care.These services are needed even more with the scarcity of housing post hurricane. It is no easy feat to continue to provide 17,000 hot, nutritious meals in the soup kitchen 365 days a year.This grant also helps support that. The organization works closely with KAIR to eliminate all duplication of costly services and to successfully accomplish all of what was noted today with a budget of$130,000 but we still need help. Our local Marathon city government eliminated grants to non-profits in 2018 due to their immense hurricane costs and currently has no plans to reestablish them.This represents a loss of$9,800(2017 grant award amount).The United Way of the Florida Keys also has a decreased amount of grant funding available in 2020.This SAFF grant not only will benefit the homeless individuals that we serve but also the community at large by making the Keys a much better and safer place to live,work,and visit. Sustainability Independence Cay has successfully sustained itself since its creation in 2009.We are able to develop and maintain quality services through its extensive volunteer services,food donations,and material o donations.Also,the maintenance of the building is completed by the residents and clients who are served.Transitional housing clients pay a program fee after obtaining work. Middle Keys churches and y organizations provide a strong foundation of support for the program.This sense of fiscal responsibility is central to how Independence Cay operates and the value of the services provided is much larger than the actual budget but these monetary grants and contributions are necessary as well to consistently provide what is needed. cv m cv cv Packet Pg. 2140 7:07 AM Independence Cay, Inc. 02/07120 Profit & LOSS Accrual Basis January through December 2019 Jan-Dec 19 ............... ___ Ordinary Income/Expense Income 42000•Donations-Unrestricted 43340•Organization 100.00 43450•Individ Contributions 36,400.00 43493•church 500.00 Total 42000•Donations-Unrestricted 37,000.00 44000•Grants 43482.St.Columba/Episcopal Charties 7,500.00 43484•Sherifrs Grant 4,540.81 44820•United Way,CFC Contributions 12,550.01 Total 44000•Grants 24,590.82 44500•Government Grants 43980•HSAB 30,000.00 Total 44500•Government Grants 30,000.00 45000•Investments 46030•Interest-Savings,Short-term CD 25.72 Total 45000•Investments 25.72 45100•Program Fees 47260•Client fee trns housing 46,130.00 Total 45100•Program Fees 46,130.00 47200•Program Income CD 47240•Program Service Fees 100.00 CD Total 47200•Program Income 100.00 Total Income 137,846.54 Expense 62800•Facilities and Equipment 62151 •Pest Control 600.00 62835•new equipment 349.00 62840•Repairs 2,144.51 a) 62845•OPERATION PURCHASES 575.99 62890•Rent, 21,600.00 65006•Hygiene 324.24 N 66042•cleaning supplies 1,055.38 66050•Telephone/internet/cable 3,283.80 Total 62800•Facilities and Equipment 29,932.92 64000•Adminstration 60920•membership/Dues 500.00 60930•License&Permits 412.96 62110•Legal/Accounting 5,495.70 62111 Payroll 17,734.20 66020 Postage,Mailing Service 154.85 65043•Office Supplies 133.85 66199•Payroll Taxes 2,928.62 Total 64000•Adminstration 27 360.18 65000•Operations 65026•Medical Ex 107.79 ........... ._ Total 65000•Operations 107.79 Pagel Packet Pg. 2141 a J.1.� 7:07 Ann Independence Cay, Inc. 02/07/20 Profit & Loss Accrual Basis January through December 2019 Jan-Dec 19 65015•Food distribution 66017-Soup Kitchen 1,193.14 65015-Food distribution-Other 302.76 Total 65016• Food distribution 1,495.90 65060•Utilities 65061 -Electric 5,464.00 65062-Water/Sewer 6,702.39 Total 65060•Utilities 12,166.39 65100-Other Types of Expenses 65123•General Liability 986.89 Total 65100•Other Types of Expenses 986.89 65210•Program Service 12a•Milage 57.20 15-Client Assistance 906.60 65121 •Health Ins 8,085.00 65271 Payroll 40,323.67 66212•Program payroll tax 15.037.42 Total 65210-Program Service 64,409.89 y Total Expense 136,459.96 -� Net Ordinary Income 1,386.58 Net Income 1,386.68 .r . _ CD CD N tJ U N N U Page 2 Packet Pg. 2142 Funds from Other Groups2019 Monroe County $30,000 Episcopal Charities $15,000 United Way $ 6,500 Price Family Foundation $30,000 Helms Family Foundation $ 5,000 0 cv cv m cv cv Packet Pg. 2143 J.1.� INDEPENDENCE CAY BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2019 BOARD MEMBERS Rev.

Packet Pg. 2148 J.1.w Introduction KAIR is a 501c3 organization and has been established in the Middle Keys since 1998. It started as a collaboration of all the Middle Keys churches to provide a centralized way of delivering services that would eliminate duplication and would provide a more comprehensive approach to helping those in need.Since then, KAIR has expanded to represent the larger community and the entire Florida Keys. It collaborates on an ongoing basis with the business community and other community service providers such as the schools,the hospitals,the health clinics, etc. The community now looks to KAIR to provide creative approaches to assistance and KAIR tailors the assistance to maximize effectiveness. KAIR is now the Middle Keys sole source of assistance for food, housing, medical,transportation assistance,and other basic needs. It averages 40-50 applications per day from those in need. KAIR has the full support of the community and meets needs by the assistance of approximately 200 volunteers.These volunteers are directed by the Executive Director and provide everything from sweeping the floor to office work and fundraising. Because of this extensive volunteer support, KAIR can focus its donated dollars to direct assistance to those in need. KAIR is open to all Keys residents and has had an increase in the number of Lower and Upper Keys residents seeking help. KAIR seeks responsible resolutions and often collaborates with others to provide a comprehensive plan for meeting the need. KAIR especially pays attention to working families with o children,the elderly and the disabled. The needs of the community,especially housing needs, has increased and KAIR has been able to assist many additional families in the Keys. Goal—To obtain or maintain housing for families that have experienced a temporary crisis which affects CD the ability to independently maintain adequate shelter.This goal is especially relevant post Irma.

Many families were left behind with lagging, unpredictable wages yet rising housing,food, medical and transportation costs.A seemingly minor unanticipated expense such as a car repair or a medical bill often left many families in desperate straits. The severity of Hurricane Irma worsened this crisis.The escalating rent costs for very scarce housing has created a crisis situation for many families who are living and working in the Keys. KAIR is a partner with the community at large and collaborates with other groups and agencies to a, promote comprehensive and tailored assistance without duplicating services. KAIR is the only agency in the Middle Keys that provides food and other basic needs and emergency services.Alleviating desperation can be the difference between individuals turning to KAIR for assistance rather than turning y to activities that involve law enforcement and affect community safety. Food is always available and KAIR is a strong foundation upon which residents can count on for help.These relationships providing hope and practical assistance keep people integrated into the community.The deep support from the community show their support in making this happen as well. KAIR is well known in the Middle Keys community as the go-to place for those in need. In the past few W years, KAIR has greatly expanded its ability to significantly help those who need it in the Upper and Lower Keys as well. Desperate acts of theft are not necessary when food and basic needs are available and there is a higher quality of life for families when they know there is a place that will help. Assistance with food, rent, utilities,dental care, medicine, medical care,and transportation are all provided. Employment is stabilized when car and bike issues are resolved and basic identification papers are obtained.The family is stronger and less stressed when their children are fed well and their needs addressed. Listening,coaching, planning and follow-up are an integral part of the assistance KAIR provides.Accepting people where they are and providing support and feedback can often lead to opportunities for change in mental well-being as well as choices involving alcohol and drugs.Some worry that recipients take advantage of services. KAIR suggests that every interaction is an opportunity for change and that people don't aspire to hunger and living hand to mouth. Rather,they have reached this point and are unable to make a change without outside assistance. Target Population KAIR's services are available to all of the residents of the Keys who find themselves in a basic survival crisis with hunger, housing,transportation,employment or illness.Special emphasis is on working Packet Pg. 2151 J.1.w individuals,families with children and the elderly.Often a need is identified that is very specific and does not meet the criteria of any other service in the county. Approach KAIR has one full-time employee and one part-time employee and interviews families and individuals at their office at 3010 Overseas Highway, Marathon to verify the needs and circumstances. Immediate assistance is provided and tailored to the individual need. If appropriate,further assistance, referrals, and a plan are made that include a budget.When a return visit is made requesting additional assistance, recommendations previously presented are explored and a determination of further assistance is made. It is important for KAIR to develop and maintain relationships with those it serves in order to be a solid foundation,an agent for change and a facilitator of improved quality of life. Home visits are arranged for those that are elderly,disabled,or unable to travel to the KAIR office. KAIR coordinates with its partners such as the Guidance Care Center,the Adult and Child Protective Services,the schools,etc. More than 200 volunteers assist in carrying out the mission(from sweeping the floor, manning the food pantry,to developing landlord relationships, etc.) Resources and Costs 0 Ninety per cent of 2019 budget was direct program costs of providing food, and other basic needs.Some of the funds received were one time only funds used for hurricane recovery.The$7500 requested from y SAFF will be used solely for emergency services as stated in page one. No funds will be used for operation costs. All funds are paid directly to the vendor such as the food bank, landlords, medical providers, utility companies,etc. KAIR is committed to meeting the need where need is verified. KAIR does not turn anyone away and when faced with an increase in need, has developed new sources of funding. KAIR has increasingly diversified its funding base utilizing grants from state and local W governments,foundations(both near and far), religious groups,and organizations as well as fundraisers and individual donations. KAIR holds two months of financial reserves which allows it to be responsive to need while allowing sufficient time to develop additional resources.2020 Budget attached. cv Sustainability KAIR was incorporated in 1998 and will celebrate twenty-two years of service in 2020. KAIR continues to build its support from Middle Keys residents who volunteer and provide financial support as well as financial resources outside of the Keys.

Limit 1 page. The Marathon Recreation Center is respectfully asking the Monroe County Sheriffs Asset Forfeiture Fund for a grant of$10,000. The Center was established as a nonprofit 501(C) (3) in 1993 and has provided Middle Keys youth 27 years of a safe and positive place to be.Throughout our existence we have weathered many storms while continuing to provide a safe and structured learning environment for City of Marathon and y Monroe County girls and boys.Although a variety of the center's activities are sports based,the goal of the Marathon Recreation Center is to offer a safe and structured educational environment for the children of hard-working parents,especially during the dangerous after-school hours. Our After-School and summer programs offers homework assistance,book clubs,computer research cv and games along with a host of supervised activities.Additional activities include billiards, board games,arts and crafts,video games, movies, Ping-Pong and table hockey. Dances are held on weekends for teens and Friday Fun Nights are held for children in grades three through six.Special events such as talent shows,skits, and youth seminars are also hosted by the Center.Cultural and educational activities include ballet,jazz, hip-hop dance,tumbling,aerobics and field trips to museums and zoos. Volunteer professionals and community members provide valuable information and mentorship as guest speakers on topics concerning safety; health;drugs and alcohol; and careers.The center's programs successfully provide members opportunities to improve their education, physical fitness and confidence to assume leadership roles in school and their community.The Marathon Recreation Center strives to reach the most vulnerable youth by helping them to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood. In many cases,these programs are life-changing,and life-saving, not only for the children, but for the parents,families and communities of the Middle Keys as well.The Marathon Recreation Center continues to provide services to all economic classes, races and genders. Clients are referred primarily by school counselors,teachers,Wesley House Family Services, Department of Children& Families,the Guidance Care Center,the Domestic Abuse Shelter, parents, law �+ enforcement,former and current clients and/or any concerned citizen or organization. Each child, and his or her family, is required to complete an application and in-person interview. Many of the Rec Center members parents'are working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet, contributions and donations are minimal. Middle and high school members participate in leadership programs and serve as volunteers for the center's afterschool and summer programs.A few years ago the center partnered with the Basketball Cop Foundation, Monroe County Sheriffs Office and Nancy Liebermann Charities to install a "Dream Court,"which has certainly served its' purpose to provide a bridge for positive relationships between police officers and the communities they serve and protect.The court appeals and attracts m teens and families in the evening hours, providing them a safe drug-free environment to participate in a positive game of basketball.The center focuses on enabling all young people,especially those who need guidance the most,to reach their full potential as productive,caring responsible, law abiding citizens. Your support is very vital,we need your help in maintaining the quality and volume of care we provide to the children of hard-working parents.Our request to the Monroe County Sheriffs Office is for $10,000.With your generous support,we plan to partially pay for utilities,a portion of the very meager salaries drawn by the husband and wife team who have run the Center since its inception,field trips and transportation also,expenses to bring kids to and from field trips and educational events,and replace worn-out supplies, books,dictionaries and equipment. Packet Pg. 2161 J.1.x THE APPLICATION Here you should include(limit six pages): A. Introduction. Describe the overall organization,its qualifications relevant to this request,and its capacity to manage the project. 0 The Marathon Recreation Center,a 501c3 non-profit organization,offers a safe and drug-free environment for the underserved youth of the Middle Keys. Our recreational activities are provided y year-round and offer school-aged students a positive place to engage in healthy,socially invigorating activities. Marathon Recreation Center's programs include basketball, kickball,flag football, dodgeball and volleyball. CD cv The after-school program offers homework assistance, book clubs,computer research and games CD along with a host of supervised activities that occur on the Center's secure property.

The Marathon Recreation Center strives to reach the vulnerable youth of the community by helping them to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood. In many cases,these programs are life- y changing, not only for the children, but for the parents,families and communities of the Middle Keys as well. The Marathon Recreation Center continues to provide services to all economic classes, races and genders, and receives referrals from public and private schools as well as Wesley House Family Services and the Domestic Abuse Shelter. With the financial support of the Monroe County Sheriffs Office,the Marathon Recreation Center will continue to supply these critical services to thousands of at-risk and underserved young people from 8 to 18. Many of these assisted youth have gone on to become community leaders, business leaders, °3 and positive role models themselves.Together we are building stronger communities. B. Goals,Objectives and Outcomes(What needs to be done).Supply documentation of the need if it is available. The Florida Keys is a wonderful place to raise a child, but it is also one of the costliest,although the economy is improving it is still a struggle for working parents.After-school childcare has become unaffordable for all but the highest income working families. Monroe County citizens who make their living in the fishing industry, restaurant trade, retail stores,house-keeping, labor and gift shops Packet Pg. 2162 cannot afford to properly provide a safe environment for their school-aged kids during after-school hours. The working parents of Monroe County are faced with a horrible dilemma;they cannot survive in Monroe County without assistance with childcare expenses.There is a need for their children to be exposed to positive role models.The thought of how they can teach their children— many high risk and/or minority members—self-esteem and independent thinking skills when saddled with long work hours and empty pocketbooks? How can they keep their children safe from the temptations of drug-culture contact,criminal activity and opportunistic child predators? 0 This is exactly the mission of the Marathon Recreation Center. Instead of churning out law- breakers,school dropouts,low-self-image children and school-aged children destined to v challenging futures,the Marathon Recreation Center is here to protect and nurture them. Without financial assistance from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office,we will be hard pressed to meet the needs of these children of hard-working parents.Our goal is to continue to build a larger cv and more diverse array of funding sources and opportunities,without raising the cost of our services to the already struggling working-poor families. C. Background and Significance(Why the project is important to the community) With the competition for jobs increasing,a good education and crime free life has never been more important. Dropout students earn less, pay less in taxes,and are more likely to turn to welfare. Every dollar invested in dropout prevention returns$2 to$4 to the community. Increasing the graduation rate by 10 percent can prevent up to 500 homicides and 22,864 aggravated assaults. High School dropouts are three times more likely to be arrested and eight times more likely to spend time in jail or prison than graduates. Incredibly,a 10 percent increase in the graduation rate produces a 20 percent decrease in violent crime. In other reports:after-school hours are the peak time for juvenile crime and experimentation with drugs,alcohol,cigarettes and sex.(Source: Bureau, Urban Institute Estimate) (Fight Crime: Invest In Kids).The hours are-between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.on school days(referred by law enforcement officials as a"danger zone") is also the time period during which kids are most likely to become y victims of violent crime.Statistics from the Schott 50 State Report on Public Education and Minorities show that on average 47%in the U.S.do not graduate from high school. With all this said, it is clear to see the need in Monroe County for the Marathon Recreation Center is real,and critical. It is no coincidence that,although we provide services to all who need them,the Marathon Recreation Center is within walking distance of several very high-risk neighborhoods in Marathon. Staggering numbers of working parents are forced to make tough choices between basic childhood needs,groceries,overall household budgets and childcare costs.The entire Board,two-person staff, and volunteers at the Marathon Recreation Center are committed and passionate about providing the people of Marathon and Monroe County with a successful,established program to keep kids off cv The streets and out of trouble after school lets out.Together the Monroe County Sheriffs Office and the Marathon Recreation Center can make a huge positive impact on the lives of thousands of young people right here in the Middle Florida Keys.

In addition to information and education, Womankind provides medical services including annual gynecological exams, clinical breast exams, testing and treatment for STIs, contraception, including long-acting reversible contraception (LARCs), other medications, and pap tests when indicated first paps are now recommended to start at age 21 unless a problem exists) These services for teens make a safer and healthier community. Womankind has built a reputation among our teens as a credible, confidential source of information and quality healthcare with an emphasis on wellness and prevention. The consistent numbers of teens trusting our services demonstrates our success. Thanks to the Sheriffs Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund support, Womankind has provided education and health care to teens for 19 years. We have a long history of partnership with the Sheriffs Department and look forward to continuing the collaboration to reduce pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in Monroe County. THE APPLICATION Introduction Womankind is a non-profit medical center dedicated to providing high-quality family planning, primary, and gynecological health care to people of all income levels. The organization was founded in 2001 by a nurse practitioner and nurse midwife to serve the women of Monroe County. Through increased accessibility to clinical services, collaboration with other community resources, community outreach, and extensive client education, the goals of Womankind are to: educate women and their families within the full scope of health and wellness; assist women to become active participants in their own health care; reduce the incidence and transmission of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections; increase early detection and treatment of breast and cervical cancer; improve pregnancy o outcomes;and reduce the pregnancy rate to teens. With the support of the SAFF we have been improving the health of teens in our communities by focusing on y pregnancy and STI prevention in this vulnerable population. Goals,Objectives and Outcomes CD WOMANKINP The goal of Womankind's Teen Services Program is to reduce the cCD vW TEEN SPERVICES incidence of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in Monroe County teens by utilizing outreach, education, medical PROGRAM OBJECTIVES screening, and treatment. Our professional staff educates in the areas of contraception, abstinence, resisting sexual coercion, and HIV & STI risk reduction.

We pregnancy and aim to increase accessibility to and utilization of affordable healthcare and health education for all teens, particularly those who births to teens, experence barriers to healthcare through language or economics. Background and Significance Reduce' Womankind utilizes a board certified gynecologist,nurse the 111Cyd�l�Ce practitioners, and a physician assistant to deliver cost-effective &tr"Ah' s 7ission'Of healthcare services.This model of healthcare emphasizes patient seataly transmitted education,wellness, and empowerment. The practitioners work infer j'ans 1ric"W' "Ir1 under the supervision of medical director Dr.Kris Kennedy, a board if1/lAi[75 certified gynecologist who joined the practice in October 2018. Since 2001, Womankind has been a leader in women's healthcare and education in our community and in 2013 expanded to include men among our patients. Currently, our male clients(both teens and adults) comprise 5% of our patients. In 2019 Womankind patients included 327 teens (ages 13-19) seen during 722 visits. Teens from 13-19 comprise 11.2% of our patient population and 14.1% of all our visits. Last year teens had 200 urine pregnancy tests and 335 chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV tests administered. 3 Womankind Packet Pg. 2169 ® PREGNANCY: TEEN The most recent (2019) Florida Youth Risk Behavior Survey revealed that 3 . % of Florida public high school students have had sexual intercourse and 25.9% were currently sexually active within the prior 3 months of the survey date. Among those who Womankind engaged in sexual intercourse in the preceding 3 months, 14.7% patients used no forrn of birth control and 41.5% did not use a condom who use FFlorlda in t (withor without other forms of birth control.)

This ris behavior cr ee a sex puts Florida teens at risk of unintended pregnancy and/or acquiring r Nuvaring a sexually transmitted infection. *not all WK patients are sexuatty active This is in stark contrast to o a ind's teen patients of who 84.2% used birth control during that period (some Womankind teen patients are not currently sexually active.) The Florida Department of Health Adolescent and Reproductive Health Quarterly Report sets a goal for 75% of teen patients to use oral contraception and 1-2% of teen patients to use a high performing method such as an IUD, implant, or depo shot. Womankind patients far exceed this goal with . %utilizing one of the high performing options, This highcompliance to is reflected a Womankind teen-patient pregnancy rate of 1% for 2019. As is common with our pregnant teens, they either come to Womankind for their first visit only to learn they are already u- pregnant or are lapsed patients who are not compliant in taking their oral contraception. This further emphasizes the W Ch importance of high performing Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives(LA Cs). In 2016-2018 there were 55 births to mothers between the ages of 13 and 19 in Monroe County, a rate of 9.1 per 1, 0 versus the Florida state rate of 1 .2 per 1, 0 . Only 16 states have worse birth rates than Floira.) The teen birth rate has declined almost continuously over the past 20 years from it's highest point in 2000 and according to a 2017 Center of Disease Control Study, is at a record low. Mon-roe County is consistently lower than State averages. Though these lower CD incidence rates are a positive statistic,the goal is to further reduce Monroe County's teen birth rate with emphasized focus on the critical subset of repeat births to teen mothers. In 217 and 2018ere was only 1 birth per year to mothers with at least one previous live birth.

Children born to adolescents are ore likely to have poorer educational, behavioral, and health outcomes throughout their lives than those born to older parents. Teen childbearing costs U.S. taxpayers between $9.4 and 31 billion a year through public assistance payments, lost tax revenue,greater expenditures for public health care, foster care and criminal justice services. The estimated costs of providing medical and economic supports during pregnancy, delivery (including complications) and the first year of infancy averaged$16,000 per teen birth nationally,according to an analysis conducted by Power to Decide(a nonpartisan organization formerly called the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned re cy). This includes the cost of prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care forte mother, one year of infant care, and receipt of WIC,basic TANF assistance, and SNAP for those who participated. For Monroe County that translates to a cost to taxpayers of$880,000 forte 55 teen births between 2016 and 2018. INFECTIONS:SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED Reportable STIs include gonorrhea, a la ydia,syphilis, and : Widespread use of highlyeffective hormonal contraception and long-acting reversible contraception ( Cs) has Bled reduce teen pregnancy rates in recent years. While these methods are effective in preventing pregnancy they do not protect individuals from TIs. Teens need to be informed about behaviors that protect them frominfection, including abstinence,consistent condom use, reducing the number of sexual partners, and mutual monogamy. 2 The most common reportable sexually transmitted infections among teens in Monroe County is chla ydia.Rates of chla ydia were at their lowest in 200 (13 cases)and hit a high of 59 cases in 2018. There were 41 reported cases in a, 2017. Most disturbing is that in 2007 there were 28 reported cases of chlarnydia within a population of 5,207 0 teens.In 2018,59 cases of chlamydia were reported in a population of only 4,173 teens. (An increase of 31 cases in a populationthat decreased by 1,034 people.)Womankind had 4 teens test positive for c la ydia in 2019 and Ch administered immediate treatment tote patients and their partners,along with a healthy dose of education on the y importance of monogamy and condom use.

Chlamydia can also increase susceptibility to the transmission of HIV. Target Population 5 Womankind 3 Packet Pg. 2171 All Monroe County teens are included in Womankind's target population. As a partner to the Monroe County Health Department, Womankind provides family planning and STI testing to women between the ages of 13 and 26 through a Title X Family Planning grant.Each year the MCHD funds either$70,000 or$90,000 to supplement the program which costs $186,000 to implement in 2019. Womankind has expanded services to include male clients. We offer STI testing, education, and medical treatment for males as well as females. Without detection and treatment at Womankind, young men could potentially pass on infections to other teens, as well as re-infect their partners. As our clinical site is in Key West,the majority of our teen clients have traditionally come from the Lower Keys with a small percentage traveling from Marathon. Many parents bring their teens to the center for abstinence, contraceptives, and risk reduction counseling, as well as for healthcare and screening. Other teens come to Womankind via word of mouth through friends, health fairs, community and faith-based organizations. In 2019 Womankind and the Monroe County Health Department hosted a Teen Health Fair, WHAT THE HEALTH!? at the three county high school. (Coral Shores, Marathon, and Key West) Nineteen non-profit and commercial organizations interacted with 2,638 teens providing education and contact information for local healthy resources. To increase awareness of our services to teens, in 2020 Womankind embarked on a new radio ad campaign on local radio station 92.7 FM. We advertise each school day on the Rude Girl and Molly Blue morning show during the morning school drive time, emphasizing our confidential,welcoming teen program. Services and medication at Womankind are either free or greatly reduced for teens depending on the individual financial and confidentiality situation. No teen is turned away based on an inability to pay. 0 Approach Method a, Teens receive STI testing, risk-reduction education, gentle exams, clinical breast exams, contraception, abstinence < counseling, free HIV testing and indicated pap tests during Womankind's normal business hours. Our clinicians provide medical care, education, lab result follow-up, and medication compliance counseling. Womankind currently has 4 bilingual staff members, including a scheduler, front desk agent, medical biller, and medical assistants to translate for those who speak Spanish.We have access to an online medical interpreter for other language needs. Our clinical staff provides age appropriate,timely information in a non judgmental manner to assist teens in making W healthy lifestyle choices. We offer teen-friendly exams and testing devices, such as the OraSure for HIV testing. This device uses a swab to collect oral fluid instead of drawing blood, as needles and blood often scare this demographic. Requiring a blood draw often deters teens from HIV testing. We also provide a urine test for gonorrhea and chlamydia, as an invasive pelvic exam can scare teens away from obtaining the care that they need. Womankind medical assistants have been trained to administer a rapid syphilis test which provides on-site results in o 10 minutes.

INTRODUCTION-- MISSION STATEMENT AND A UNIQUE APPROACH IDC's Mission is to provide unique, therapeutic, motivational and educational dolphin-assisted e therapy programs, for children with special needs, adults with special needs and their families .- and/or caregivers through the use of innovative therapy techniques, which enable participants to v discover and achieve desired goals, strengths, and their maximum potential individual fulfillment. Through interactive programs, education and research children and adults alike are inspired to value and respect marine mammals and their environment. N B. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES N For often the first time, family members have a chance to come together in a unique and motivating 2 atmosphere. Together they learn about new techniques, treatments, skills and participants show progress in areas such as self-esteem, language and motor skills. Family bonding is a key outcome as the IDC programs are so much fun that relationships within the family become stronger. Caregivers of the participant have consistently said that their loved one has made significant gains as a result of being at IDC. They also appreciate that IDC programs engage the entire family where most of the time family members are omitted from participating in other programs. IDC programs provide peer support for siblings, children and spouses with other participants -- great for the participant and for their entire family. NEED Few programs exist for respite care, education, psychotherapy and supportive counseling. Participants come with a myriad of issues that include critical or chronic illness, physical disabilities, mental illness and the realities of pre and post-surgical treatments. They come to have special experiences that the world of dolphins can deliver— the dolphins are the centerpiece of the work. C. BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE Island Dolphin Care, Inc. (IDC) is a not-for-profit organization in Key Largo, Florida founded by Deena Hoagland, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker along with a volunteer board committed to the needs of children and adults with special needs. IDC began as an outgrowth of Deena's son Joe's experiences with a dolphin named Fonzie. Joe was born with a rare, life-threatening heart condition. During the third of five open-heart surgeries, Joe Packet Pg. 2178 J.1.z suffered a massive stroke, leaving him paralyzed and visually impaired. Knowing that Joe enjoye swimming and loved animals, Deena decided to seek out a place for Joe to try animal-assisted therapy as a way to help him. Living in Key Largo, she knew they lived near a dolphin education and research center. She pursued the owners of the dolphin facility. Ty agreed that she could bring Joe to the facility to meet the dolphins. This is where Joe met Fonzie, a most remarkable, fun and compassionate dolphin. They immediately bonded -- bringing giggles, gentle physical activity and JOY to Joe when he was struggling to recover from his stroke. Deena believes that Fonzie was a key ingredient in motivating Joe to work towards getting better. She theorized that if the dolphins could encourage her son, they might do the same for other children and families. Out of this desire, IDC was created where this unique form of therapy is provided for those in need of encouragement and JOY. Thanks to philanthropic support, IDC has its own facility in Key Largo and specially trained therapy dolphins. IDC is especially unique because of the involvement of family members and caregivers in the activities with the participants. Most participants require scholarship support from IDC as a result of being in financial crisis and burdened with extraordinary medical bills. This is why IDC needs philanthropic support. D. TARGET POPULATION Each year IDC serves thousands of people including hundreds from Monroe County (Easter Seals, Wesley House, Veterans, Monroe County School Students, witness preparation/witness advocate y program): 11 Children with special needs with a wide range of diagnoses come with their families and caregivers—an ever-increasing number of children with cancer and autism. 91 Veterans wounded in combat come to IDC recovering from physical injuries and mental 24 illnesses including PTSD. Therapy at IDC becomes a dynamic companion to clinical treatment at VA hospitals. IDC programs bring much needed "joy" therapy to those who have served our country Adults including those who have survived cancer or continue their battle with cancer. The majority have been treated for breast, lung or brain cancers. Many of the adults with illnesses have young children are looking for respite, laughter and joy with their loved ones. All participants are encouraged to have their families or caregivers come with them as part of their N experience at Island Dolphin Care. N E. APPROACH AND METHOD PROGRAM OVERVIEW--METHOD Participants come to Island Dolphin Care (IDC) in Key Largo with a myriad of issues that include critical or chronic illness, physical disabilities, mental illness and the realities of pre and post- surgical treatments. At IDC they enter a place that is designed just for them. They come from a world that so often tells them they cannot do things. IDC gives them the chance to experience things they thought they could only dream about. IDC dolphins are the centerpiece of their time at the Island Dolphin Center. The programs include in-water dolphin experiences and on-land educational interactive classrooms with therapists and special education teachers. Participants learn about the marine environment, take part in art and relaxation therapy. It is through the use of these activities & techniques that participants often enough progress to the next developmental level.

Background and Significance Project Lighthouse is important to MonroeBrun because of the Florida bays' unique appeal as tropical island destination to everyone, from wealthy international travelers to Bohemian youth. Robert G. Marbut Jr.'s"Homeless Services Gap Analysis of Key West and Monroe County"' identified "Destination Homelessness" as the most unique and challenging feature f homelessness in Key Este "No other community in the USA has rnor non-native homeless individuals than the Keys. Between 97.7% and 99.4% of the homeless are from outside of Monroe County," Whether they were born and grew up in the Florida bays, or escaping here as an adventure destination, young people struggle with other unique characteristics of the Island community: constant scarcity of affordable , exacerbated by hurricane Irma in September 2017, as well as the highest housing burden cost in the state at 45 . 0 MOM M> �� DAI)DI( High incidences of mental health needs, and alcohol use/substance abuse problems. 61.7% f adults with any mental illness in Florida did not f v receive treatment, and Florida's ratio of mental health needing population 'to providers is 750:1. According to the 2019 Florida Well-Being Index 2019, v� 35.9% of high school teens had used alcohol/drugs N ` in the past 30 days. Large numbers of youth experiencing neglect or child abuse - physical, emotional, verbal z and/or sexual, resulting in a higher risk for running away and homelessness. luring 2019, there were 1030 allegations of abuse or neglect in Monroe County called in to the Dept, of Children & Families Abuse Hodine, and of those, 113 were substantiated cases of harm. For previously-abused street youth, being on the streets presents even higher risks of engaging = in survival sex, further victimization, and sex or labor trafficking according to y statistics, During the last year, 6 clients disclosed to Project Lighthouse staff they had previously been victims of either severe Forms of human trafficking or sexual exploitation. Another 11 requested assistance regarding experiences of domestic violence, and 12 other clients disclosed they had previously been or were currently victims of sexual violence. CO D. Target Population LighthouseProject aims to serve both male and female youth living in Monroe County ages 21 or younger who are homeless or likely to become horneless. 1n the 2019 calendar year, the program E served 82 unduplicated dients under the age of 21. From January 1, 2019 through Dec 31., 2019, Project Lighthouse assisted 107 unduplicated Runaway, Homeless, and/or at-hsk Street Youth in Monroe County, FL. Additionally, in 2019, Prqject Lighthouse outreach workers assisted another 125 clients that were over 21 whom they referred to adult services, for a total unduplicated headcount of 232 during 2019. Project Lighthouse strives to be a resource that vrill reduce crime and substance abuse and make the streets of Key West a better place for all residents and visitors. Combined data from 354 organizations serving homeless youth nationally suggest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgernder youth comprise up to 40% of clients. - 6 - Packet Pg. 2201 J.1.ab E. Approach Method The Project Lighthouseteam consists of the program coordinator, three street outreach workers, and volunteers. -rhe staff and volunteers work in street teams of two with the responsibility of visiting specific street sites on a doily, weekly, and monthly basis where street youth are known or reported to be and staffing the outreach center. The street teams distribute informational r nu teri is in the assigned areas, make personal contact with street youth, distribute survival kits, invite street youth to make use of the Project Lighthousecenter, and collect data, general and specific, regarding the locations and needs of the street youth. Outreach to rns target the Lower Keys, and especially downtown Key West, area daily, perform at least one late night outreach weekly, and target the Diddle and tipper Keys at lest monthly. The drop-in center is open on weekdays consistently, varying tines in the later evening and on weekends, and at other tirries for specific events and as needed, Project Lighthouse provides survival services in a youth activity center located in Downtown Key West, where youth are known to congregate. 'The drop-in center maintains a minimum of two U_ staff/volunteers t all tunes to assist youth in making appropriate use of the facility, which features y public room with chairs, television, lamps, stereo, musical instruments, laundry rear with washer y and dryer, a bathroom and shower, a pantry with suer iv l food available,an office area with telephone and computers, and a lobby with a message board and educational materials. Important numbers for services like food banks and how to apply for food stamps are openly posted so that even if youth choose not to discuss issues with outreach staff, they will be able have a self- directed approach to finding available resources. Decorated with bald art, photographs, and W informational posters that appeal to street youth, the space allows for private conferences, couunseHng sessions, art programs, musical collaboration, and youth group meetings. 'The conditions for use of the Project Lighthouse drop-in center include no alcohol, drug or tobacco use in the space, and respect for the property, its staff and volunteers, and other travelers. The first use of the facility requires that the youth provide basic personal information for initial contact paperwork k and have at lest a brief conversation with stuff to assess immediate needs and begin to build trusting relationships. Identification needs are assessed and, if necessary staff will help youth obtain their birth certificates, social security cards, or valid state identification cards, t this time, youth will also be given any survival supplies needed and information regarding risks on the streets and safety through prevention. If intervention in a crisis situation is needed, staff is Co prepared to immediately offer emergency services such as crisis counseling,access to shelter, medical attention, or contact with law enforcement officers. t the second contact,further assessment of needs and preliminary discussion of planning is initiated. s needs are d ri ed in subsequent visits, staff and youth can begin to make plans for services leading to a safer, more productive, and more creative life. Meanwhile youth will use the drop-in center space and resouurces to maintain personal hygiene, work toward employment and housing goals, gather and recreate in a safe environment, learn artistic and/or musical skills, and develop personally in positive, creative, and productive ways. s you can se, now in the tth year of managing the Project Lighthouse prograrn, the Florida Keys Children"s Shelter has streamlined, efficient operations for looting street youth, helping with immediate needs, and assisting with a plan to help thew achieve self-sufficiency and safe housing. _ 7 _ Packet Pg. 2202 J.1.ab ResourcesF.

What: This program will serve middle and high school students who attend school in Key West and the surrounding area.This program will provide students with mentorship, career exploration, development of 2 1"century skills through education and community service experience caring for the Botanical Garden and its native species. The Key West Botanical Garden Society,the non-profit organization that manages the Key West Tropical Forest& Botanical Garden on Stock Island, is the applicant. Where: Key West Tropical Forest&Botanical Garden on Stock Island Why: With your help, fifty at-risk middle and high school students will participate in the Garden y Companions, a weekly service and learning program. The program will provide a foundation to enable youths to make healthy,positive choices via a structured, experiential and natural environment that supports sustainable personal growth within in a culture of environmental and personal responsibility. Students will develop leadership, confidence, and communication skills and develop a sense of agency over their lives and communities—all attributes correlated with academic success and with abstaining from drugs and alcohol. This program has been run on surplus Nursery funds in the past,but a rapid increase in student enrollment has necessitated funding dedicated to the Garden Companions. Without funding,we would have to greatly curtail student numbers and limit days the program could be run; funding allows for the program to grow, serve more students, and provide a more intensive curriculum for the greater benefit of participants. When: The program will occur weekly during the academic school year. CO How: Students will be recruited through the assistance of teachers and via local organizations such as Take Stock,the National Honor Society, and the Boys &Girls Club. These youth will be welcomed to the Botanical Garden on a weekly basis. Students enrolled will learn botanical and horticultural skills, and the scientific principles that direct the Garden's mission of the preservation and propagation of native and endangered plant species. Students then complete * community service projects throughout the Garden with the guidance of knowledgeable mentors. As students gain proficiency,they will assume new responsibilities and leadership roles amongst their peers. Students will develop skills useful in any career path,explore STEM careers, and engage with their community in a safe and positive environment. How much: Growing the Garden Companions requests $5,500 to fund 50 students in 2019. Packet Pg. 2219 J.1.ad Growing the Garden Companions at the Key west Tropical Forest&Botanical Garden on Stock Island A.Introduction: Overall organization, qualifications and capacity to manage the project Overall organization: The Key West Botanical Garden Society(KWBGS) is a 501(c)(3)non- profit corporation that manages the public conservation land owned by the city of Key West known as the Key West Tropical Forest&Botanical Garden. The Key West Tropical Forest&Botanical Garden was created during the historic Works Progress Administration(WPA) era to be the tropical entrance to the island city of Key West. Located on Stock Island, it is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. It is open to the public from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, seven days a week. An active and involved board of directors oversees and advises paid management and staff. Executive Director Mr. Misha McRAE has more than 12 years of experience managing operations at the site. Qualifications: KWBGS has a history of implementing successful programs for local, at-risk c youth. For nine years we've partnered with the Monroe County School District to facilitate the y Living Laboratory Program. So far this year, we have engaged over 700 local children in our on- y site field trips, with another 200 students scheduled to participate by the time this application is submitted. The KWBGS serves schools with as many as 75%of students enrolled considered eligible for free/reduced lunch. The Education Department connects children,teachers and families in the community to information and ideas about science and the world around them, creates measurable improvements in age-appropriate understanding of science, encourages at- risk and vulnerable youth to explore secondary education and future careers in science, and creates environmentally conscious learners through purposeful, rigorous and meaningful interactive studies. Because of its educational and transformational value, and its ability to c document changes in student lives,the Living Laboratory has enjoyed strong support over the years from Duke University,the local school system, and grantors like the Batchelor Foundation, the Dogwood Foundation, and IMLS. The Key West Botanical Garden Native Plant Nursery provides plants native to the Florida Keys, Cuba and the Caribbean Basin for Key West Tropical Forest& Botanical Garden plant ca replacement, new exhibits, sales and educational opportunities and provides plants for restoration sites. They propagate and care for 150+plant species that are native to the Florida Keys and 20+ plant species native to Cuba and the Caribbean Basin. Education is an important part of the Nursery's function. The Nursery provides workshops, discussions,and tours for school groups, Garden Clubs and individuals. It is a platform for events and Education Department programs. This school year,the Nursery has engaged 45 students that have volunteered providing 294 Community Service hours as of January 25,2020. The Nursery has hosted the Companion Program since 2011, creating opportunity for students to earn Community Service hours while instructing them in horticultural and botanical techniques, and the ecological principles that guide their work. Capacity to manage the project: The Nursery will provide the curriculum,the materials, and the staffing to supervise and instruct the students. The Education Department will provide the logistical support for the program, including recruitment, communications with students,parents, and educators, and documentation. Packet Pg. 2220 J.1.ad Growing the Garden Companions at the Key west Tropical Forest&Botanical Garden on Stock Island The Education Department is skilled in experiential education,volunteer management and engagement, environmental education,program design,public speaking and presentations, and grant management. The Nursery has extensive experience in leading volunteers, and has been running a smaller version of the Companion program since 2011. While this program has been a success at its current scale, student demand has created the need for a much larger version of this program. The Key West Tropical Forest&Botanical Garden was created during the historic Works Progress Administration(WPA) era to be the tropical entrance to the island city of Key West. Located on Stock Island, it will be celebrating its 85th anniversary next year. It is open to the public from 10:00 AM to 4:00 P , seven days a week. An active and involved board of directors oversees and advises paid management and staff. Executive Director Mr. Misha McRAE has more than 12 years of experience managing operations at the site. c B. Goals, Objectives and Outcomes y GOAL: The goal of the Garden Companion Program is to provide engaging and educational skills development for youth in order help them to become successful students and members of their community. Students will gain confidence, leadership skills, and agency,promoting positive decision making in a supportive environment. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: The Companion program seeks to provide students with • STEM-based education and career exploration • Leadership experience and 21 st century skills • A safe, structured activity that accrues community service hours • A sense of agency and importance in their community A major goal of this program is to provide students with STEM-based education. Students enrolled in the program are trained in botanical and horticultural practices, with weekly instruction on the scientific principles underlying their work. This educational component is a critical one, as we seek to not only impart knowledge, but understanding. Topics covered are broad, and include geology,hydrology, ecosystem function,and native and invasive species. Hands-on learning and personal growth are emphasized in all of the sessions, and following the instruction, students then apply what they have learned to a project necessary to the Garden. Students explore STEM careers in previously unexamined fields through the guidance of the Garden's mentors; graduates of the earlier incarnation of this program have earned vital scholarships for their work, and explored STEM career options. These graduates are now enrolled in such diverse undergraduate programs as chemical engineering,microbiology, biotechnology, and one student has even begun a Master's program in tree genetics with a concentration as a Nursery Specialist. Students will develop leadership and 2 1"century skills such as communication,project management,and collaboration through participation in this program. Students will begin by learning simple concepts and skills, and as they progress in their proficiencies,they will be given additional responsibilities. Students will be given charge over the training of new members, Packet Pg. 2221 Growing the Garden Companions at the Key west Tropical Forest&Botanical Garden on Stock Island particular skills, areas of the Garden, and areas of focus. As students progress,new specialty skills will be taught. This will help students develop project management skills, confidence,and communication abilities, as well as develop a sense of agency over their lives and communities— all attributes correlated with academic success and with abstaining from drugs and alcohol. Community service hours will be tracked for each student, as these hours are of great importance for their academic careers. Community service hours are of vital importance for a number of scholarships vital to local students, such as Bright Futures. Students will earn community service hours for their time spent in this program. MEASURABLE OUTCOMES: Pre and post assessments will be done to determine the students' awareness of the sustainable environment and their responsibility to protect it, as well as their feelings of personal self-worth and achievement, and their feelings about how they fit into their community. Participants will be tracked during and after the program with regards to post-high c school plans and achievements, and community service hours will be tracked per student and by school year. y Documentation of the need: The youth of the Keys are using drugs and alcohol at a higher rate than their counterparts throughout the state, and at an earlier age. The Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey shows that Monroe County youths surveyed had used alcohol or any illicit drug at N a significantly higher rate than the statewide average. The Florida Keys has gained an unenviable N worldwide reputation for"liberal" attitudes towards the tolerance and the acceptance of illegal drugs and alcohol abuse. Monroe County's youth are growing up within this climate,where social misrepresentations are imprinted on their developing minds, and quickly become personal c beliefs. Comparative longitudinal data in the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey(FYSAS) reflect this pervasive and socially skewed perception. Compared to other counties,there is an elevated prevalence of drug usage among our youth; increased perception of community and social approval; and increased individual peer-pressure to engage in delinquent and antisocial behaviors. Our youth need the combination of connection to the community, skills training, environmental education, and mentoring and leadership development that are the essential components of our program. y C.Background and Significance by the project is important to the community). This project is important to the community because lack of community engagement,the perception of being unsuccessful in school, and limited time spent out in nature are directly related to dropping out of school, and involvement with crime and drug abuse, whereas a 2004 study at the University of California Santa Barbara found that people with leadership roles in high school are more likely to hold managerial positions as adults, earning higher incomes than those in non-leadership roles. Students enrolled in this program will be engaged with their peers in working collaboratively to create and complete new projects, developing these vital leadership and teamwork skills,and fostering a sense of investment in their community. Students will feel more fulfilled as engaged citizens working to improve and care for their natural resources. By taking ownership over facets of the program, students will perceive themselves as capable and responsible. Students will develop strong relationships with professionals who can help to open doors to other leadership possibilities and careers. The skills developed through participation in this program will not only aid in STEM careers, but in all careers.

What staffing is required?) 0 How will the project be done? The program premise is based on training the student with the goal of gained horticultural skill sets, providing the student with experience that they carry into n their future. The instruction also aids in the understanding of our unique habitats, examining topics such as ecology, geography and climatic environment. Using this integrated biological approach to exploring the ecology of the Florida Keys, staff will help the participants gain appreciation for the diverse world they share with all organisms and participants will gain N knowledge and confidence while using performing community service. Hands-on learning and personal growth are emphasized in all of the sessions. For example, after learning about germination and propagation techniques from the Nursery botanists and nursery c manager,the students implement their learned knowledge of germination and propagation. As the student skill sets improve there is leadership opportunity as new students join the program; the skilled student assists in training and by mentoring the new volunteers. Training their peers allows for gaining communication and leadership skills. These at-risk students gain a sense of self-worth, involvement and achievement. 0 CO Where will it be done? The program will take place at the Key West Tropical Forest& y Botanical Garden. Use of buildings and space is provided, by a match,by the Garden. When? January-May and August-December, 2020.

Drowning is the leading cause of death in children ages 1-4 and Monroe County has the highest y drowning rate per capita in the state of Florida. U 0 Introduction le Our mission is to reduce the drowning rate in the Florida Keys through survival swim lessons and drowning prevention awareness and education. The Keys2swim survival swim program teaches infants and children the necessary aquatic skills CL to survive an accidental water exposure.We have four trained instructors that successfully completed intensive training in Survival Swim Development.Their training consisted of over 100 hours of in water practice teaching as well as academic study in the areas of child o development, behavioral psychology and infant physiology.The instructors are not paid,they volunteer their time. In addition to the survival swim lessons our focus is also on awareness and education. _711 r, �i XEYI sls' j W \l 6?? f {F 1 „u' Ammig ' s Packet Pg. 2230 J.1.ae 0 0 -ning 1 Prevenfidn The Keys2swim program was created to teach infants and children the necessary aquatic skills to survive an accidental water exposure.Our swim program teaches self-rescue swim lessons to infants,toddlers and young children utilizing a swim-float-swim technique.The classes are offered for FREE to our island community. y The task force also concentrates on water safety education and awareness through signage and educational pamphlets for parents and extended family members of small children. In addition to the survival swim and water safety education,we also offer the"Heroes AmongCD CD Us" program.This program was created to promote bystander CPR within our community.The two-hour program teaches adult,child and infant CPR.The program also includes choking, basic first aid and Stop the bleed training.This class is also offered for FREE. Keys2swim-Goal is to teach 100 children survival swim skills annually.We held our first 6- week survival swim session in late April of 2019. We held a total of 6 sessions in 2019.We taught 130 children ranging in age from 6 months to 7 years old, including multiple children with special needs such as autism,coordination difficulties,and developmental delays.We o currently have 200 children on the waiting list. y Heroes Among Us—Goal is to teach at least 6 classes per year however,we can offer more if the need exists.We held 5 bystander CPR classes since June of 2019 and have taught over 50 people.We have multiple requests for classes to be offered. > 2 CL Drowning Prevention Awareness&Education—"Keep your eyes on the Kids"signs are posted at every public beach and over half of the public pools in Monroe County.Our drowning prevention pamphlet is in its final stages of production and will be placed in every pediatrician P office in Monroe County.We have a running column in the Konk Life paper with water safety and drowning prevention information,the current topic is the importance of the back float.

Monroe County currently has the highest drowning rate per capita in the state of Florida. c According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,the leading cause of injury and y death for children ages 1-14 is unintentional drowning,69%of drownings occur when the child was NOT expected to be in the water. For every child who dies from drowning,another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries.Teaching kids to swim is just as important as teaching them to walk. CD CD Kids love water and are naturally drawn to recreational swimming and water activities. Although fun,water can also be a source for danger. Knowing the basic skills of survival - swimming can save their lives. N Survival swimming techniques can help a child to survive if he or she falls into a pool/canal or becomes endangered around water. It is a method for children to save themselves until help arrives,and another way parents can help to protect and care for their children. Survival swimming is a technique of swim-float-swim that teaches young children the basics of n how to float and breathe for an extended amount of time, regardless of the depth of the water, until they can either reach the side of the pool,shore,or until help reaches them. It is not just about being comfortable in the water; it's about learning how to survive. 2 CL El 4 Us �v A111mig Packet Pg. 2232 J.1.ae r Drowning I %a . .
