Our organization helps nearly 1000 keys residents each year by providing primary care in our Marathon and Tavernier Offices. Sometimes, however, patients require more care than can be provided in a primary care setting. They require diagnostic testing,access to specialists, physical therapy,supportive medical services,ancillary services, and even surgeries. Good Health Clinic has addressed this issue by developing a robust Volunteer Provider Network(VPN)over the last 19 years. This VPN has provided not only the needed care for thousands of our patients, but many times it has facilitated small miracles. More than 1 boat captain who was out of work because of a blown knee or torn rotator cuff have received surgeries that had them back earning income for their families. A grandma with advancing cataracts got her sight back after a donated surgery and could go back to caring for her 2 grandkids while their mom worked. Waitresses have been treated for plantar fasciitis so they o stay on their feet all day and dive captains have had access to ophthalmologists to get the glasses needed to renew their license. Patient after patient has had access to Moh's surgeries,stopping skin U) cancer in its tracks. And women have not only had their mammogram screenings, but biopsies and < resulting treatment and even reconstructive surgery after a breast cancer diagnosis so they could get back to life in the most normalized and supportive way possible. This life changing volunteer network needs someone to organize,ask,and facilitate the N generous giving that is valued at more than 3 million dollars a ear in needed medical care zl oin to ke s residents!

She works under the direction of a mature,experienced Board of Directors that brings a diverse array of skills to the table including: a doctor,a for-profit CFO,an insurance professional, community members at-large,and leaders in the fields of social services, case working and nursing. Our in-clinic medical services are provided by paid and volunteer medical practitioners. Our part-time N Medical Director,Dr.Steven Lawyer,a longtime Keys physician with an impeccable reputation,oversees our medical programming as well as handles our most complex patients. The majority of our in-clinic . visits are handled by an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner—a medically sound and financially S conservative staffing structure used by most private and NPO practices. We have 3 Patient Care Coordinators who are not only responsible for facilitating patient care, scheduling, and record keeping of a typical doctor's office but also assisting in the patient application 0 process for GHC services,coordinating appointments through our Volunteer Provider Referral Network (position funding is being requested for),and acquiring needed medications at discounted rates or free through pharmaceutical company Patient Assistant Programs. These Care Coordinators also connect our patients with other local agencies that provide tangential services. c� Our Board, leadership,and staff have the scope of skills to cover all the medical and administrative needs to efficiently,thoroughly,and compassionately deliver care to our community members in need. Our team has not only continued successful existing programs but has grown our programs. arid The goal of Good Health Clinic is to continue being available as a comprehensive health care option for uninsured individuals living in the Keys who make less than 200%the Federal Poverty Level.

We now have offices in Tavernier and Marathon and serve nearly 1000 uninsured patients a year. Our uninsured patients are the 'working poor, the temporarily unemployed, and the homeless. These patients often are hospitality&domestic staff,dive&fishing professionals,grocery store attendants,and artists that are essential to the logistical and cultural composition of the Keys. Being uninsured affects people's access tolig, � � needed medical cane and their financial security. The access barriers facing uninsured people mean they are less likely to receive preventive care, are more likely u� tnbe hospitalized for acute conditions, and are more likely to die in the hospital than � those with Insurance.* Uninsured families struggle to meet basic needs, and medical � � h|Us can quickly lead to crippling debt.This /w rY, 9, A/on9 rum�hm gni r/ is particularly true|n the Florida Keys where �epmhcoreorce�nchroug�,�*cum�Vwe��o�c�»x,�em�/wYe� Q costs of living|oxohigh. zl� Because many of our community's ~~ members have gone without healthcare for so long,GHC often treats acute health concerns.

(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 5t` 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 the home, the family is eligible for enrollment in LVA Family Literacy. U) LVA operates three main delivery sites in Key Largo, Marathon and Key West, with a volunteer coordinator, supported by volunteers, situated in each area: Lower, Middle and Upper Keys. Our director/trainer/instructor provides countywide supervision through site visits, telephone and internet, maintaining close contact with coordinators and volunteers. As a countywide N 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 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. 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 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. 1804 M.1.c GOALS: To provide individuals and families with one-to-one and small group instruction for adults reading and writing at the grade 0-5.5 level as well as for those who are limited English proficient. OBJECTIVES: 1) To increase literacy skills for participating adults 2) To increase school readiness skills for children and assist school age children to gain an enhanced appreciation for reading that will hold them in better stead throughout life. OUTCOMES.:. 0 1) Adults will see skill improvements for themselves via one or more of the following: standardized test scores, personal goals obtained, tutor and teacher reporting U) 2) Parents will see attitude and or skill improvements for their children as measured by student self-reporting BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE: c� Since 1984, LVA has helped 7,987 Monroe County adults obtain personal goals through 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 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. 1805 M.1.c TARGET POPULATION: We will target individuals and families on our waiting lists countywide over the age of 18, with equal numbers of males as females. Census figures show the target population comprised of undereducated 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" . 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. At intake, students are placed in a learning level, with long and short term goals assessed. Our staff matches each student with a trained, certified literacy volunteer tutor. Volunteers will 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 c personal goals through increased literacy skills. Families needing literacy training will follow the same procedure as individuals. RESOURCES AND COSTS: We are requesting $10,000 or 20% of our annual budget for our core Basic READ and ESL programs to help cover the cost of countywide day to day operations which includes trainers and Q instructors who deliver direct services to students ($10,000). SU,STAINABILITY: 0 This project will be sustained on a year-by-year basis, as usual. If history is any indication of > future performance, our project will be sustained through new and continuing grant sources, new and continuing partnership arrangements and the use of trained, certified literacy volunteers. LVA has many of the same board members for many years (Eileen Quinn, 30 years, Peary Fowler, 18 years) as well as the same executive director(Mary Casanova, 30 years)which provides some measure of continuity and direction. Our biggest challenge for 2023 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. n 0 U) 0 U) U) CN U) M U 1 Packet Pg. 1814 M.1.d A. Introduction. Established in the Florida Keys in 1948, Easter Seals Florida, Inc. / Keys Area serves over 1200 Monroe County children and adults with autism, disabilities and/or developmental delays each year. Our programs include the Monroe County Early Steps Program, audiology testing and hearing aids, orthotics and prosthetic equipment, and providing medical rehabilitation services for special needs individuals. We would like to continue providing medical rehabilitation and audiology services. In this program, we offer onsite medical therapies, support for working families, and resources for families with children or adults who have been diagnosed and are being treated for special needs. We have the trained professionals, as well as special needs equipment families 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- `F quality, family-focused and innovative services tailored to meet the specific needs of the particular community it serves. As such, we have the capacity to manage this project. It is core to our mission and a proven model that we have implemented in numerous communities across the country. 0 B. Goals, Objectives, and Outcomes (What needs to be done). U) The Easter Seals Medical Rehabilitation Program was developed to fulfill an unmet need in the community (providing therapies and related medical services in a familiar setting for special needs children and adults). Our goal for the future is to continue to offer a professional standard of excellence and demonstrate a commitment to the families that we serve. Our objectives are to be c" proactive in the community by supporting families with special needs individuals and to continue providing these families with this unique service and level of care. U) We have the commitment and experience to continue this program to serve more families. The state standard for after school child care states that for children 3 to 4 years of age, there must be one child care personnel for every 15 children. This ratio does not work for children with special needs that need more individualized care. In addition to providing therapies and related medical services for the special needs children, we are able to offer training to the daycare teachers 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 has special needs, he or she may be eligible for the school- based Pre-K ESE (Exceptional Student Education) program administered by Monroe County School District. Evidence over the last 15 years indicates that intensive early intervention in optional educational settings for at least 2 years during the preschool years results in improved outcomes in most young children with special needs. Our services are available to the preschoolers enrolled in school based ESE programs, as well as adults. This program offers families a safe and healthy environment for their loved ones with special needs. According to statistics provided by Monroe County social service agencies, as of December 2022 it is estimated that there are 75+ children in need of these services. We are unable to ascertain the number of adults in need of these services, however, the number of referrals continues to increase each year. 2 Packet Pg. 1815 M.1.d 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 childcare for children on school closure days. This is a two-fold problem because the child does not receive the special education, and the childcare 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 `F 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 0_ 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 u) 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. 1816 M.1.d 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. We have had limited staff turnover and the patients enjoy significant progress as measured by their clinician in conjunction with their physician. These milestones are indicators of a successful program.

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 56 yrs. U. U) B. Goa Obiiectives & Outcomes: We will use this money to train intellectually disabled adolescents U) trans'�ti 'ng 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 9:00 am to 3:00 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 public as well as incorporating it into our lunch program. In Key West we have just returned to having a landscape maintenance program where clients work in X small groups in the community learning landscaping and gardening skills at local hotels and homes. These skills can then be transferred in order to be hired in the community. This was on hold during the Covid-19 outbreak last year until vaccines and boosters were available. We lost a few contracts due to our not being able to fulfill them as our population is very vulnerable to Covid19 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. This program is still operating but we do not allow the store to be open while clients are attending. Therefore, we are only open on Saturday. During Covid we lost all of our County landscape maintenance jobs including Harry Harris Park. 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 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 9 Ow! , n o ency for persons with disobllities Partially Sponsored Agency sure of Fzorfda ,r: e�� Packet Pg. 1825 M.1.e 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 (Medicaid Waiver funding), from the State of Florida, United Way and fundraisers. C. Backs..'round& Siificance 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. There was an increase in rates per service in last year's legislative budget but it is only to be used for direct care staff wages and not all of the other in ceases like insurance, taxes, gas, rent, vehicle purchases or other cost of living items. We were able to regain the$100,000 lost in the 2021-2022 session in the 2022-23 session. 0 D. Target Population: This grant will serve 95-100 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 13 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 N Isle Church in order to accommodate our expanded job training. We have 2 vocational trainers, cafe 2!. manager and a horticulturist in Key West. In the Upper Keys two staff, operate the Bazaar(Thrift 0 Store) 1 day a week. But the clients prepare the clothes and items on the days 5 days they attend. The 0 more structured programs available for adults and teenagers with disabilities, the less likely they are to X get into serious trouble while working toward obtaining and sustaining employment. We also have two 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 clearly see all of the costs involved salaries,utilities, supplies and equipment. The detailed budget will also show how much money we receive from the Adult Day Training funds through the State 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.

(APSMC) is dedicated to serving the highest risk youth,absent fathers and families residing in the Florida Keys with special emphasis on the under served living in the 33040-zip code area. Two unique programs are offered through APSMC: Idle Hands Summer Youth Employment Program and the Southernmost Fatherhood Initiative. The population of focus for these programs is two-fold; specific emphasis for the Fatherhood Initiative is placed on fathers age 16 years and older who have a least one minor child not living with them; incarcerated fathers; and fathers on work release status, probation/parole who are residents of Monroe County, Florida (the Florida Keys). The summer youth employment program accepts at-risk students attending Key West High School between the ages of 16 to 19 years old who will be returning to school in the fall. APSMC delivers trauma-informed, person and family-centered services by utilizing a holistic approach in which individuals and families are encouraged and empowered to become active participants in all aspects U_ of service and care.The Fatherhood Initiative is offered to fathers throughout the year incarcerated at the Monroe County Detention Center via a Zoom online format and in the community across Monroe County via person-to-person or Zoom. Students participating in the Summer Youth Employment Program are 0 placed in positions meeting their aptitude,skills and interests with the City of Key West after successfully U_ U) completing a 2-week job readiness orientation at Key West High School. 0 U) U) Programs such as these are integral through it goals and objectives by enhancing efforts totransfann the health and safety of our community. Monroe County residents, which includes the growing immigrant 2 communities, are among the most economically distressed and underserved in the State of Florida. Reducing disparities is dependent upon increasing access to affordable, quality, and cost-effective social (n M services. Through APSMC's programs, disparities will be positively impacted by removing hurdles and NQ barriers surrounding equitable access to community-based services,treatment and support. zl� CL With the Monroe County Sheriff's SAFF support,APSMC will be able to generate new matching funds to LO continue to provide prevention, intervention and treatment services with positive outcomes to high-risk youth, absent fathers and families. For the Fatherhood Initiative Program, fathers will: U) • increase their awareness and knowledge about the elements to being good fathers. 0 • increase co-parenting skills and establish healthy behaviors that can help improve relationships in their LO lives. U • increase engagement and responsibility with chit children. • increase their economic stability and mobility through gainful employment to provide material and E financial support to involved child/children. • increase their knowledge of available community resources for behavioral health/addiction services, < financial assistance and other natural support services. The Idle Hands Summer Youth Employment Program will help youth: 0 improve social-emotional development and skills. * reduce delinquent behavior and involvement in the criminal justice system. a maintain school engagement and return to school in the fall. a gain positive work habits and employability skills. 0 enhance academic and career aspirations. The total estimated annual cost for both programs is$193.008. APSMC is requesting a$10,000 grant from the MCSO-SAFF. APSMC is very proud of their programs and has demonstrated over the years that the positive impact these programs have on individuals,families and the community far outweigh its cost. 3 Packet Pg. 1834 M.1.f THE rPPLtt;tt NON A. introduction t'oi,immdmrrt m lrm School Board, �Positive Step rmt"tt�tonroe County mmr �.� mur�idrrt�tm� r�r� m�r�ms r.wt'ttmru�td �rmr �.d':r�r�ummmt�''Y mtPSIAt ,a private,not for tmrrra't'ft tadt(r)d,cornmunity-based oqyani7afion viras established to samee high, risk chit n-n mmumr']their families AF`m'S C mission°m mmuu to colt mdmmrale"smith community agencies to irmmjmmmrmm,mmm outcomes f(nsr mrdildrrrir and tfrmmumft .r rerv,ed while prrmteding the pmmbhc by reducing Juvenile rmimr e and dmm -rmdmmmu tm in Florida. t�rrmrmmdmrmmut t�rr trruc°;r ttrmrr mdmmd rrr umtr r: to tmdrmmmm rmummt't t .mmmrar, it became evident t:tmu'.r^r°mu was a dtmud and unmet mtmumrd 1x) support absevil ratheis and their influence on their childrmrn's 'Fo help rmtum t this need, in 2018, ttlldSMC expanded its focus as Oman r fffimm National nal Fatherhood Initiative �r rare trm include improving vin�y tdmu mrmmu to dirt rrtt�mm•�umtt mm. r,rrrrrm t"rmm° rmdrwmmt �"mmt@�mmrrrN �° w�atudt." rr,m�umr.r�^ �`� . domestic SIra u'i itd of empowering t trbmmmmm°um>°tttm education and dumo%ledg ,strengthening families by � improving parenting skills and immrm-er mrmd economic stability to bellmmr therrmrmmlves arid help the community ty rounder � �� expand ttmrm mtr� r�r�'mrt�um. � r tm � Davis, ttu mmmmd IIV� �m.r mutmm«, tt�tmrm ru " t�matdt.�, realized t'�'mmm mtm�rd to r mmmr �tion r services, he also recognized the uermud to change APSMUs inission to better reflect its intended 1`,mmuiiiIx)r ; "To improve the lives ofat,risk children and strengthen the role rmt'`any fiat her in the lives 0 r'ft weir f r ifies°" U) 0) For rummer'dot years, Al�ISMC has been mu trusted, integral cos umtmu:miinitd 1°mrovikler of"innovative social service sU) and evid mmiirewbas d treatment In l'tdonrrur County with men. 1 d-drmrmr history mmt"full compliance with tt d award mrrmu rrrmrmmrmmutr, tt:PSMC has strong leadership, mu committed volunteer board of d rectors, state twtm mumrmtta, strong fimmrt:rmrial and quality reporting areC mmmrmtrut ilitd and infrastru ctrrrr: to effectivelY confinue and ovejwe its tmrogr .ris and mm1Vrm.mmmmge any, nevr pro ect, rot,undertakes.

Background and Significance Monroe County residents, is includes the growing immigrant communities, are among some of the most economically distressed and underserved in the State of Florida. Reducing disparities is dependent upon increasing access to affordable, quality, and cost-effective social services. Through APSMC's programs, disparities will be positively impacted by removing hurdles and barriers surrounding equitable access to community-based services.treatment and support. APSMC's summer youth employment and fatherhood initiative programs are unique and not duplicated by any other organization within Monroe county. Since 2011. APSMC has provided the only summer youth employment program for students living in Key West and still in school. This program prepares student with job readiness by teaching young adults the importance of job skills, responsibility and the rewards of hard work. An important component included in this program is a one ay educational lesson on the :6 negative impact of substance use and the importance of prevention and treatment. U_ 2 APSMC's Southernmost Fatherhood Initiative is the only program of its kind providing fatherhood interventions in Monroe County since 2018.The program specifically focuses on the root causes and needs of absent fathers and the crucial role they play in their children's growth, development safety and well- 0 U_ being. site the importance of fathers in families, most social service systems primarily work with U) 0 mothers;this means that fathers who are most in need of parenting interventions are not involved. When a U) U) father is not involved in a child's life, research has proven that children pay the price and the spill-over effects it has on the community. When a child is raised in a father-absent home,they are affected in the following ways: 4X greater risk of poverty, more likely to have behavioral problems; 2x greater risk of infant mortality; more likely to go to prison; more likely to commit a crime, 7x more likely to become pregnant as a teen;more likely to face abuse and neglect. more likely to abuse alcohol and drugs; 2x more NQ likely to drop out of school.(National Fatherhood Initiative 2019,Father Facts:Eighth Edition) zl� CL It is difficult to deny the lasting impact of a father in a child's life and that absences can lead to serious LO 0 consequences.Programs such as APSMC's Fatherhood Initiative is a critical step towards helping meet the need for more programs that support the strengthening of families through involved fatherhood and 0 responsible parenting. 0- LO These two special programs are integral to the residents of Monroe County by enhancing efforts to U 4i transform the health, stability and safety of our community through equitable access to co unity- employment,services,treatment and support. E D. Target Population The target population for APSMC's two programs is individuals' ages 16 and older residing in Monroe County,Florida.For the Fatherhood Initiative,specific emphasis is placed on fathers age 16 years and older who have a least one for child not living with them; incarcerated fathers; and fathers on work release status,probation/parole who are residents of Monroe County,Florida(the Florida Keys). The summer youth employment program accepts students attending Key West High School between the ages of 16 to 19 years old who will be returning to school in the fall.

Our Vision has been and is,to expand our program further up the Florida Keys.We have only 0 LL been based in Key West Florida 33040,since we were established in 2005 0) U) U) Sister Season is requesting$10,000 for 2023 in order to provide financial assistance to Monroe County working families that are facing severe short term economic distress through no fault of their own. N c� A. Introduction: Sister Season Fund has proven itself over the past 17 years as a 501(c) (3) non-profit to be effective in preventing homelessness for individuals and families of Monroe County.Sister Season Fund has an experienced Executive Director and a seasoned nine-member board and have successfully supported over 1000 Keys families in the last decade alone. B. Goals: Sister Season Fund is focused on preventing homelessness and keeping service industry workers and their families in their Florida Keys homes, by assisting these working individuals in times of dire need.We see ourselves as a key contributor to drug abuse and crime prevention by enhancing mental health C. Background and Significance: The cost of housing in the Florida Keys is extremely high.The result is that service industry workers often live paycheck to paycheck.Often when faced with the short-term inability to work through accident, illness,and natural disaster these same workers find themselves unable to pay rent and utilities.Without Sister Season's assistance,these individuals and families find themselves in an extremely difficult situation and are forced to relocate outside of the Keys, exacerbating the already severe worker shortage we all are facing. D. Target Population: Our organization supports service industry workers and their families and does not discriminate based on age,gender,or any other factor. Packet Pg. 1843 M.1.g E. Approach:Sister Season Fund is an ongoing charitable organization.Assistance is provided to service industry workers and their families in the Florida Keys throughout the year through fundraising,grants and donations.Applications are evaluated by the Executive Director and Board of Directors. Strict requirements for documentation, including bank statements,landlord and utilities bills,doctor or accident reports and employment history. Clients are verified though a Monroe County charitable organization to determine eligibility and any other grants they may be receiving.All payments are made directly to the individual's landlord or utility company. No cash is provided directly to the service worker or its family. F. Resources and Cost: We are requesting$10,000 from the Monroe County Sherriff s Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund.This money will be added to the approximately $270,000 that we will raise in 2023 through fundraising,grants,donations and estate bequeaths to cover the operating expenses of the Sister Season Fund and provide charitable assistance to our clients in the amount of$150,000.Sister Season Fund 0 actively raises funds throughout the year and depends on charitable contributions from local citizens and businesses, local and national grants and other charitable U) organizations.Aggressive Fund raising is required to meet the extraordinary need in our community.The generous contributions of our donors have always allowed us to meet or exceed our mission statement. G. Sister Season Fund will continue to operate as we have done in the past,however,our M ability to provide to out of work service industry workers is limited to donations and c� fundraising events.With additional funds we could expand into the middle and upper keys in the future. In late 2022,we concentrated on implementing cost control measures to ensure that our overhead expenses were as low as possible.For example, 0 we moved into a much less expensive office space resulting in a$27K savings. It is our hope that the MCSSAFF sees the enormous benefit Sister Season provides to the community in terms of preventing homelessness,and the resulting mental health challenges and drug abuse issues that homelessness inevitably leads to,and looks favorable upon grant applications from Sister Season in future years.

Currently the agency is providing no cost primary medical and general dentistry in 10 public schools currently. This includes nine on-site clinical locations as well as ten rotating sites for the Mobile Dental Unit(MDU). During the school year Keys AHEC delivers a countywide coordinated Primary Medical and General Dentistry Program for medically vulnerable children located within School Sites. Each clinical location has a licensed APRN for medical and a DMD/RDH for dentistry. Keys AHEC is the only Health Service provider serving all of Monroe County. Health Center locations are located at each public school throughout the county with times starting from%2 hour prior to school to hour after school.All health service programs additionally work during the summer months for continuity of care and to ensure patients and have a medical and dental home. In addition, and new to our program this year is a full-service dental program that travels to each school in a Mobile Dental Coach to provide general dentistry to students that includes exams, x-ray, cleanings, sealants,fillings and other basic dentistry services. Each child receives an individualized dental treatment plan based on need. 0 Cost of medical and dental visits for even routine care often are out of reach. In many cases AHEC is the only affordable and accessible option for thousands of families in our communities. U) U) Providing school-based health services in an easily accessible location and manner has created access points for children and their families so that they have a medical/dental home and can avoid the ER or other costly alternatives. The school-based health centers have addressed the medical/oral health care LO needs of the uninsured and Medicaid patients in an area where there are limited Medicaid and low-cost M providers. c, Prior to the Keys AHEC school-based health centers there were no primary care or dentistry programs in the schools for students. In fact, many school health services were limited to just screenings and sending children home that were sick with limited ability to access timely care.

Monroe County still maintains one of the highest rates of uninsured populations in the State.Often parents or single parent homes work multiple jobs,or work one job and do not make enough to purchase health insurance with reasonable deductibles,family coverage,even with the subsidies. This trend is further supported by 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 Monroe County are living below the federal poverty lines. Monroe County maintains one of the highest rates of total uninsured populations in the State of 25%.This increases to 32%for families living under 400%of the Federal Poverty Level. Once this report is updated with pandemic numbers,we expect rates to rise accordingly. Outlined in the 2020 Surgeon General's report is that many children experience oral pain, lack of treatment, suffering and complications that can be avoided and prevented by providing school based treatment and preventative care programs. Packet Pg. 1854 Children's oral health continues to be one of the greatest needs in our community due to the complexity and cost of the services. The School District,Child Care Providers,the Medical Community and other social service agencies continue to struggle to find providers that will accept children in need of interventional care or restorative oral care services. These unmet oral health issues effect children's school attendance, learning abilities and often times their nutritional intake. During this past year services provided: Total visits: 10,123 Total Services: 66,791 Dental Program Patient Breakdown: Medical: Uninsured-47% Uninsured-36% Medicaid-36% Medicaid-30% Insured-17% Insured-34% 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 11,468 children in Monroe County ages 0-19. The focus will be on the approximately 8,900 students. Working Poor Families with children make up a large portion of those living below(11% under 100%of the FPL)or at(29% under 200%of the FPL) poverty levels.The School District reports 10%of their U) student population misses 21 or more days of school due to illness,47%of all students are on the free/reduced price lunch program. LO E.All health care services will be available in 10 Monroe County publics schools located throughout the N keys, but serve all students in the county. Providers will offer health services before, after and during CD school hours throughout the school year and limited hours throughout the summer.This will reduce U access to care issues and improve the health of students and families in the community through direct medical/oral health care and early detection/treatment of disease. U) Currently the medical and dental programs are staffed and operational. As of January 2023 the Dental program completed its first year providing 1,931 student visits and 9,347 oral health services. Keys AHEC Medical Centers currently provide health services 5 days per week on all school days throughout the year. During the summer months the clinics are open regionally 3 days per week with a full opening scheduled 2 weeks prior to the start of school. The Dental program runs annually with scheduled follow-up services for students throughout the school year.The 10 sites have a full school year schedule, a summer schedule and a draft 2023-24 schedule being finalized. Data and progress reports are available quarterly on specified process and outcome objectives as provided to the State of Florida. F.The total identified cost of this project is$1,143,707 for the Keys AHEC Health Center program. Expenses beyond those covered by the SAFF grant will be provided by the State of Florida, County Support, Private Foundations, Earned Revenue, Keys AHEC residuals and In-Kind support.

Keys AHEC receives a diversified funding allocation stream through historic/future legislative support, private grants and contracts each year.State Legislative Allocations, local gov't grants, private grants, N contract funds and earned insurance revenues now make up just about all of AHEC funds. Q Programs are identified, developed and targeted based on health needs for at risk populations i.e. W Primary Care and Full Service Oral Health as well as other programming. Most funding streams over the past eight years have been stable, but fluctuate year to year based on grant terms and contract periods and resources available. The most significant change in our funding has been the addition of School Health Center Program. Keys AHEC works in Tallahassee to secure funding as well as grow financial partnerships with Private Foundations, Private Donors and Local entities.The clinics in addition do receive some limited reimbursement from Medicaid and Health Insurance Carriers outside of the no cost/free programming it provides. *Note Keys AHEC did not receive State funds in 22123,but is working closely with our local Legislators to secure funds for FY 23124. Receipt of this earned income allows us to provide no cost care to our uninsured populations which makes up over 30%of our patients and 50%of our visits. It allows us to pay for staff, lab testing, medications and other supplies for treatment. H.

Who: Samuel's House, Inc. (SH) is applying for this grant from the Monroe County Sherriff s Office (MCSO) Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund (SAFF) to assist with meeting expenses which allow us to continue providing the emergency shelter housing and basic needs services offered at the Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter. These services are offered in our program referred to as Prevention Through Provision, specific to the emergency shelter environment,for homeless women and women with children. What: Prevention Through Provision is a program of Case Management and delivery of basic human needs. - Prevention Through Provision assists in reducing and preventing crime; addressing drug and alcohol abuse through prevention, intensive case management, and providing a structured supportive environment and essential services;to assist in the achievement or maintenance of sobriety leading to the improvement of mental and physical health of adults and minors. Where: SAFF grant funds will be used at the Samuel's House Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter located in Key West, Florida; which is the only county-wide emergency shelter for women and women with children in Monroe County. zl Why: As often as possible,the Monroe County Homeless Services(MCHS)Continuum of Care(CoQ organization 0 conducts a Point-in-Time (PIT) survey to document the number of homeless individuals living in Monroe County, Florida. The PIT is defined by a variety of categories,as can be determined, and include the number of sheltered and unsheltered homeless in the County as well. The last PIT conducted on January 28, 2020, recorded 437 homeless y' living in the County. Of that number, 126 were living in Emergency Shelters, 99 were in transitional housing, and the remaining 212 were unsheltered; living in places unfit for human habitation. And while officially, HUD and the E US Department of Homelessness does not permit the CoC's to include School District data or Detention Facility 00 data, the report does show that 212 children were living in homeless facilities or related situations; such as 20 children living in emergency shelters; 165 were living in shared living space or doubled up with friends or relatives; 17 were living in places that are not fit for habitation such as cars, vans, etc.; and the remaining 10 were living in hotels or motels. The 2020 PIT also reflects that 172 individuals who were incarcerated on January 28, 2020, were also homeless. In the calendar year period 2022, Samuel's House provided services to a total of 452 clients; of which 375 clients were served at the Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter(for which we are requesting funding), 35 clients were served at Kathy's Hope, and 42 at Casa de Meredith; which are the two permanent and supportive housing complexes. Of the 375 clients served at the Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter, 266 clients served were adults; 103 were children(birth to 18)and 6 were elderly clients. As of the last cost analysis performed in 2017,the total number of nights spent in jail by the homeless was 48,438 at a cost to Monroe County taxpayers of$4.8 million. Over the last ten years,the total number of nights spent in jail by the homeless was 511,780 at a cost to Monroe County taxpayers of$50.7 million. When: The Samuel's House Prevention Through Provision program will continue for another year with the assistance of SAFF grant awarded funds. 3 Packet Pg. 1860 M.1.i Samuel's House,Inc.

Monroe County Sheriffs Office January 27,2023 Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund Grant Application A) Aication -2023 SAFF A) Introduction. 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 safety 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 human 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 productive lifestyle. 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 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 disorders can reside as long as they wish. 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 U) single women and men,women and men with children,and intact families. In 2013, Samuel's House received DCF licensure for Adult Substance Abuse Services for Case Management and General Intervention. This license is renewed annually. Samuel's House staff consists of an executive director, a deputy director, a finance manager, one fundraising and N 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 agency 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, X community health and treatment center management. Each staff position represents an integral piece of the overall JA case management team approach used by Samuel's House. Since opening its doors, Samuel's House has provided over 7,852 clients with numerous targeted services that motivate residents to reach goals and develop skills,thereby becoming viable members of society. 00 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 includes professionals of various backgrounds and an array of expertise and experience. Our Board Members are 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 competent stewards 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. Goals,Objectives and Outcomes Very specific and clear goals, objectives and outcomes have been established for life improvement as well as program success. Goal 1: To prevent crime by and against women in crisis, homeless women, and women with children in Monroe County through case management and the provision of basic human needs. 5 Packet Pg. 1862 M.1.i Samuel's House,Inc.

Item d)could become a long term issue of concern with regard to homelessness,etc. C. Background and Significance 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. 6 Packet Pg. 1863 M.1.i Samuel's House,Inc. Monroe County Sheriff's Office January 27,2023 Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund Grant Application 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. 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 living on the streets and engaging in illegal activity in an effort to financially support themselves and/or their children. Assisting Samuel's House clients with case management and the provision of basic human needs is vitally important to many segments of the community including: • Assisting victims among the local population,as well as transients and tourists,who often find themselves stranded here due to some type of violence. 0 • Providing shelter and essential services to the 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 U) 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. • Providing a variety of essential services that are absolutely crucial to preventing crime by and against homeless women and women with children who find themselves in need of assistance in Monroe County. N 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 and empowerment clients receive at SH,gives them the tools to make good choices and to participate in life as JA productive citizens with legitimate forms of livelihood. M • Providing the support, structure and accountability of a recovery-oriented community to addicted women, 00 and women with children. 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,from the jails and streets,the structure and support needed to achieve sobriety. Samuel's House actively renews our license with the Florida Department of Children and Families for Adult Substance Abuse Services/Case Management and General Intervention annually. Without community support, the homeless population is potentially a burden to the community, as the community must 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. D. Target Population The Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter provides shelter housing for women and women with minor children of all ages who, for reasons such as financial crisis, substance abuse, incarceration,domestic violence,illness,mental illness, or other traumatic events,have found themselves homeless. The children range from birth to eighteen. 7 Packet Pg. 1864 M.1.i Samuel's House,Inc. Monroe County Sheriff's Office January 27,2023 Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund Grant Application The only requirement for admission to the Mary Spottswood Women's Center is to be a homeless, sober woman (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 Human Needs) 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 Monroe County. This includes drug testing supplies and utility expenses of the program. ❖ Case Management:Case Management is a long term, ongoing process and is intended to provide clients with whatever they need, whenever they need it, for as long as necessary. SH is committed to this process. The SH method of case management is a team approach. The case management team consists of 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 run with firm rules and expectations for behavior, employment,and sobriety,which provide a structure for rehabilitation and transition. When a client arrives at SH, 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 SH with their 0 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 SH, she is encouraged to return for 0 case management follow-up. Collaborative efforts with community agencies facilitate the goal of improving U) the health and safety of homeless women and women with children in Monroe County and preventing crime and victimization among this population. Samuel'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 N Services Continuum of Care, the SH case management team ensures that residents of our programs receive shelter and comprehensive services for their transition to self-sufficiency, safety, and sober productive lifestyles. 0 Samuel's House assures that approaches used by staff are the most relevant and effective for the Monroe JA 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. 00 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 live 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 see how a deficit exits. 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 client fees be paid,after the initial first 8 Packet Pg. 1865 M.1.i Samuel's House,Inc. Monroe County Sheriff's Office January 27,2023 Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund Grant Application 4 week entry period. Due to the economics and the percentage of poverty/below poverty employment and wages paid, versus the high cost of living in Monroe County, SH makes every effort to assist new clients entering the shelter by utilizing grant and donated funds to provide payment of the first 4 weeks of their stay at the shelter. This allows the client sufficient time to secure employment,or apply for eligible benefits such as social security, TANF, disability,retirement,etc.in lieu of work. SH has experienced an increased need as well, and even more so now due to more pregnant women and women with small children coming to the Mary Spottswood Women's Center emergency shelter for help. Most recently,the COVIDI9 pandemic has only exacerbated this situation. 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 paying for the utility costs that keep them sheltered. The Mary Spottswood Women's Center Emergency Shelter is located at 1614 Truesdell Court, Key West, Florida. All programs are closely monitored by an experienced staff of case managers, house monitors, our deputy director and the 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. Administrative personnel and staff attend as many workshops and training sessions as well as continuing education 0 opportunities in order to increase skill level and experience throughout the organization. 0 F. Resources and costs. U) 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.

(KC.'b)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 / human 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. Kids Come First of the Florida Keys, Inc., served greater than 3,313 needs as documented in our 2021-2022 statistical data which is recorded to run with our budgetary cycle of October 1 through September 30, annually. While the community needs for school aged children appear to be up one year and down another; we must keep in mind that between 2017(September)and late 2019,we experienced a full blown recovery period post Hurricane Irma. Later, in the 2019 through 2022 period, we have dealt with the realities of pre, current and post COVID-19 viral issues, as well as seen a spike in needs during these periods. Now, due to ongoing inflationary factors that do not seem to dissipate, we are seeing more U) U) and more students who have needs due to a lack of adequate financing in the family home. This, in addition to the ongoing disparity between the cost of living in Monroe County and the average household , income, which continues to worsen or widen every year; there is definitely a documented concern that all the social and human service agencies, along with the nonprofits serving Monroe County,will be able to continue to do so in the future. N zl Post COVID-19,many children and their families have chosen to continue participating in school from home, using virtual and state provided school networks. KCF has stepped up and reacted to these needs by providing the necessary tools and resources for virtual students to receive the same educational opportunities as do the in school children ages 0 to 22 years old. We provide those children in need of 0 school resources the same items that are required for in school students, as well as the teachers and t3 schools themselves, which are all distributed directly to the host school, as part of the basic tools and U) resource kits for the student, or they are sent home and assigned to the virtual student in need. Total item count provided to students in the County during the last fiscal cycle was greater than 12,952. These resources include but are not limited to clothing, shoes, backpacks, school supplies, sanitary and hygiene items such as masks, cleaning wipes, sanitizer spray, and clear water bottles which have been requested by the schools to be provided to the students for use during school. It is also important to keep in mind that our organization is a bare bone operation with regard to expenses as we work hand in hand daily with the school district employees, administration and other agencies throughout the County providing services to school aged children who are 0-22 years old. 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 is most likely the most efficient agency operating as a nonprofit in Monroe County with regard to our salary and expenses versus services provided, In order to continue to provide these necessary services to the children who would otherwise go 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 Advisory Board(HSAB)grant, and the donated space and sites provided for storage and closet inventory by the Monroe County School District (MCSD), at the administrative office building on Trumbo Road, 3 Packet Pg. 1870 M.1.j Kid's Come First in the Florida Ker•s,Inc.(KCF) Sheriff's Shared Asset&Forfeiture Fund Crrant Application January 27,2023 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 cotmmunity, fabulous networking and professional organizations with great leadership, the residents, private donations, our 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 the 2021-2022 fiscal year KCF recorded 1,425 volunteer hours. This was provided by more than 46 volunteers, which shows the County's overall commitment to our youth and their needs. But more importantly, this is an extraordinary number to report during the COVID pandemic and the need for all our volunteer efforts to comply with social distancing, as well as mask undertaking, etc. It's an excellent illustration of the community-wide commitment to our school children. In fact, our 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).

Introduction The Kids Come First in the Florida Keys Inc. (KCF) mission statement: We are a grassroots organization that provides necessary resources to youth experiencing financial adversity. Children must have their basic needs met to fully develop into healthy,productive 1mv-abiding citizens. The KCF board is hands on,providing fiduciary governance as well programmatic supports. KCF has provided necessary school resources and services to the youth of Monroe County since early 2001 under the umbrella of the Be The Change and the Monroe Youth Challenge Programs. In July 2010, the KCF board was formed and Be The Change sponsored KCF to receive a separate and distinct 501 (c) (3) designation, nonprofit designation fiorn the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We continue to operate successfully since 2010, with a single paid employee. B. Goals,Objectives and Outcomes Goals: 0 1) To provide needed resources; such as clothes, school supplies and hygiene items to , youth, ages 0-22,experiencing financial adversity living in Monroe County. 2) To ensure our clients are able to participate in major life-events such as receiving gifts during the U) 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. N B) To cultivate volunteers and donors to support this grant project. Outcomes: LL 1) To keep our closet stocked at all times so responses to emergencies can be made itttrnediately, and all regular requests can be filled within 48 hours. E 2) KCF will meet or exceed the number of youth served annually, with the assistance of the U Sheriff s Shared Asset&Forfeiture Fund Grant. a 3) KCF predicts that in the 2022 period we see our client served number increase as COVID-19 is �e reducing wages and income levels of most families in the County, where we have already been formally recognized as seeing greater than 40%of the work force population living at below poverty level incomes. We estimate serving greater than 3,400 school aged children's needs in the 2023 fiscal year period. 4) KCF will work toward increasing our volunteer efforts but also maintain all social distancing and Federal, State and Local regulations regarding the Corona virus and current pandemic. 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. 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 5 Packet Pg. 1872 M.1.j Kid's Come First in the Florida Keys.Inc.(KCF) Sheriff's Shared Asset&Forfeiture Fund Grant Application January 27.2023 significant portion of the population and include the following services that were provided in 2021-2022: • 3,313 school aged youth(ages 0-22)were served • 868 homeless youth, ages 1.7-20, received a care pack of toiletries, clothing, a back pack and a journal, along with encouragement to contact loved ones who may be worried about where they are and how they are, at home, (when relevant and possible). • 1,450(+/-)youth were served during the 2022 holiday season,with gifts and food/ nutritional items. Note: numbers sen-ed can be duplicated in some categories based on need). D. Target Population Economically disadvantaged youth, or school aged children who are 0-22 years old, and reside in Monroe County is the target population of KCF. This could include homeless or children living in poverty. Most of the students we serve are designated to receive free or reduced lunch, due to living below the national poverty line as defined by the National Food Lunch Program. o E. Approach Method U) Referrals: It is the basic philosophy of KCF that all youth should have their basic needs met, U) even if their parent/guardian is unable or unwilling to obtain available resources from KCF. Instead of relying solely on parents/guardians, KCF serves all requests made from school personnel, churches, and other social service agencies such as Wesley House, Domestic Abuse Shelter, Samuels House and many other local agencies. KCF utilizes Federal Programs such as competitive grants, Title X, through collaboration with Monroe County School District, to ensure that all youth receive any Federal benefits Q 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 0 child, this is not time or cost effective. KCF takes advantage of bulk buying, sales, and outlets often o U combining money saving strategies stretching every dollar. U) 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. Fonns are now available at all school offices as are basic school supplies, uniform shirts, etc. In the 2021-2022 period we have served more than 3,313 students E E with school supplies and backpacks. SA.FF 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 snatching 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 supply stuffed Back-To- School bags(backpacks)or more,if possible. Fundraising Drive: Comrnusuty 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. These donations will be used to snatch the SAFF Grant by purchasing an additional 50 stuffed Back to 6 Packet Pg. 1873 M.1.j Kid's Come First in the Florida Kevs,Inc.(KCF) Sheriff's Shared Asset&Forfeiture Fund Grant Application lanuan•27,2023 School Backpacks bringing the total to 300. 2022 Timeline April—May: Bulk purchase to replenish inventories(school supplies and clothing) .Tune-July: 1)Run Back To School Campaign at Centennial Bank 2)Elicit"Adopt a Shelf Volunteers"to participate in drive August-Septembers: Distribute closet items for the-Back to School Campaign F.

Our mission is to reduce domestic violence through counseling and education by empowering the community to create different options for living, playing,and 'hoping in non-violence and,�lafety.Our DBA(doing business as)under D.O.L.P.H.I.N.S.: Living Springs Counseling.This grant request falls under Living Springs Counseling. D.O.L.P.H.I.N.S,will handle financial oversight of this grant.These funds will be used to cover rent and other required fees to support the vital services we provide to the community through our DBA listed above. The Rev. Dr. Pamela Feeser,CPC is a Certified Pastoral Counselor,certified by the national certifying agency, American Association of Pastoral Counselors. The state of Florida does not license pastoral counselors. In states that do,this certification is their license. Dr. Feeser is also certified as a facilitator for the ACT Parenting class by the Melissa Institute of Miami.

Where:D.O.L.P.H.I.N.S.office is at MM 98.5,34 Pirates Drive; Key Largo.The primary location for Q c� services has become our virtual office since the onset of COVID.We provide services throughout the Lower, Middle and Upper Keys. When:All fees covered by this request occur during the 2023 SAFF funding period. 2 Why: Residents who need counseling but cannot afford it will continually spiral downward because of U overwhelming chronic conditions and situations,to the detriment of individuals,family unit and community. These conditions and situations may include stress from addictions, loss of job, inadequate o income,exasperated health issues,conflict or abuse within household,to name just a few. Mental CL Health and substance issues are the leading cause for violent crimes, including domestic violence,within o 0 the community. Monroe County currently rates among the highest in the state for domestic violence, 0 divorce,suicide,and addictions per FDLE and S FL Health Council reports.Additionally,the inequity 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 o 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. 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.

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 different for iving, laying,and ,oping in ,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 0 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 U) 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' experience writing curriculum's and providing both counseling and educational services. N 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 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 U Advisory,and Healthy Start Coalition. She is also a member of the best class XIX of Leadership Monroe. o As a pastoral counselor, her principal areas of focus are depression,grief,faith/spiritual issues, CL 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 0 Melissa Institute of Miami. Judge Garcia,of the family court, has approved this class to fulfill court mandated parenting classes in Monroe County. Dr. Feeser celebrates over 5 successful classes graduating from this program. o 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 ; 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(BEER) 4 Packet Pg. 1879 M.1.k • 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) • 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 o female households with children live in poverty. U) B. Goals/Objectives/Outcomes The community of Monroe County is a federally designated underserved rural community. 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 generous sliding scale to charge our clients. We invite our clients that gross under$20,000 to Q 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 5 c2 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 CL Our collective goal is to empower the community to create different options for living, playing 0 LO and hoping in non-violence and safety(D.O.L.P.H.I.N.S.). In effect, undermining the hold o domestic violence and substance abuse has on our community. 9 Objectives: 0 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 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. 5 Packet Pg. 1880 M.1.k 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 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.

Residents who need counseling but cannot afford it will continually spiral downward because of overwhelming chronic conditions and situations. These conditions and situations E may include stress from Hurricane Irma,addictions,loss of job, inadequate income,exasperated CL health issues,conflict or abuse within household,to name just a few.

It is a Florida non-profit corporation and a private, non-profit organization,pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3). The Ministry began by offering faith-based assistance to current and former inmates oft e Monroe County Detention Center in Marathon and to their families. It later expanded by offering The Life Recovery Group to all who were seeking recovery from addictions and the stresses of life. At the request of the Guidance/Care Center of the Middle Keys (Mental Health/Substance Abuse Clinic), the Ministry,began a faith-based program there. Many are at the Guidance/Care Center(that includes a 0 Detoxification Unit) due to drug and alcohol abuse. Also included is the Heron Assisted U_ Living Facility. In conjunction with the Chap la`n's Office of Dade Correctional U) Institution,the Ministry began a recovery program at the Big Pine Key Road Prison and also began Sunday Services. The Ministry no longer provides services there due to the closing of the Road Prison in April, 2017. There is continuing prison ministry 2 involvement through Kairos Prison Ministry at Dade Correction Institution in Florida City and other Florida prisons. The Marathon Detention Center has been closed since N Hurricane Irma due to the lack of detention deputies. The Ministry is assisting the a Chaplains at the Key West Detention Center by helping provide for the needs of the zl� inmates there. The Ministry also began this past year assisting patients at the de Poo Hospital in Key West who are referred to shelters and rehabilitation centers with transportation and expenses. All of the programs offered by the Ministry assist in the mental health of those we help. 0 U) The goal of the Ministry is to help people involved in crime, alcohol and drugs and U) M suffering from mental ill-health return successfully to society and to abandon the habits _J T_ and behavior that have damaged their lives, those of their families, and the community at large. E The Ministry has been in continuous operation for over twenty-seven years. The stry began bringing volunteer chaplain services to the Marathon Detention Center in September, 1995,tote Guidance/Care Center in August 2001, to the Big Pine Key Road Prison in January 2003 and to Dade Correctional Institution in April, 2018. The Life Recovery Group was begun in April, 2000. We are requesting a grant of$ Packet Pg. 1887 The Last Resort Ministry, Inc -4- THE APPLICATION A. Introduction. The Last Resort Ministry, Inc. began by serving the potential sixty inmates of the Marathon Detention Center and their families and has been doing so for over 26 years. There have been pauses of several months due to the closing of the Detention Center after Hurricane Irma and as the result of the Corona virus. The Life Recovery Group has been meeting for more than 21 years. At the request of the Guidance/Care Center of the Middle Keys, the Ministry began a program for their patients over 20 years ago. The Ministry 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 ministry involvement at Dade Correction Institution in Florida City and other prisons. The Ministry is staffed by volunteers from churches in Monroe County and is governed by a three person 0 Board of Directors. It is a Florida non-profit corporation and a private,non-profit U_ organization pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3). The Ministry has been in continual operation since its first program at the Marathon Detention Center in 1995. The strength of the Ministry is in the quality of its volunteers. These qualities include a shared compassion for and understanding of the misfortune, poor decisions and obstacles confronting prisoners and those struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and mental illness. The Ministry provides a spiritual base and a N 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 Monroe County Detention Centers, Guidance/Care Center, Dade Correctional Institution and the community. Some of the services and activities undertaken by the Ministry include: U) • Personal and group meetings with jail/prison inmates and with in- patient clinic and Heron Assisted Living Facility residents weekly. • Direction, financial assistance and support in handling basic living problems while incarcerated and upon release (rehabilitation, shelter, E transportation and daily living expenses and routines). • Providing transportation to the home, rehabilitation facility or shelter, family or job location. Many are stranded here or at other locations. • Family assistance (such as food, living expenses and counseling). • Dealing with addictions - not limited only to drug and alcohol. • Rehabilitation placement and personal expenses, employment assistance and church attendance and membership. • Christmas programs for the inmates at the Marathon Detention Center. • Encouraging Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous (Twelve to Groups) attendance if appropriate. Life Recovery Group (Biblical Twelve to Recovery Program) begun April, 2000. Refreshments of food and drinks are served. This group is before the approval of the Probation Office. Packet Pg. 1888 M.1.1 The Last Resort Ministry, Inc -5- This support is provided by person-to-person and group meetings through which Ministry volunteers get to know and build relationships with those that are served. Upon release from the Marathon Detention Center or Guidance/Care Center anyone may avail themselves of the Tuesday evening eet' s of the Life Recovery Group either in person or by Zoom. Ministry volunteers are available to assist anyone with emergencies thatarise: 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The rationale and uniqueness of the Ministry is that it is the only Christian- centered,totally volunteer, faith-based organization in the Marathon areat t is reaching out to those that are confined to jail, prison or a mental institution. No e rece or„rei rS w aat the time or service or individuaT `^ CXLe ses devoted to the Minisftj,. B. o....l!!L......blectives...and.............Outcomes. The Ministry wants to expand its ability to provide ore assist ce to more people. This has beende possible by the award of the grants from SAFF, local churches and private individuals. The 0 Ministry has expanded its ability to serve to the Guidance/Care Center and Heron Assisted Living Facility and increase the amount of assistance provided to the 0 inmates of the Marathon Detention Center and Dade Correctional Institution. As U) our base increases so do our needs for additional funding. With more funds the Ministry will be able to attract more volunteers and expand its work—this is because supporting services cost more money. Specific examples e: N 1. After-CareSgMrt..andOutreach: Subsidizing housing during job a search while becoming self-supporting is a growing d vital need. Having a stable, safe place in which to live during the critical early days after release makes a positive difference in enabling person to restart life successfully. This is expensive and the Ministry remains limited g able to assist with housing, food and daily needs. Also providing outreach to others in the community dealing with addictive behavior and mental health needs is vital for recovery. 2. Tr............nrta : Primarily transportation for relocation: to find jobs, to attend rehabilitation programs and to find housing/shelter. We are continually called upon to provide help to indigent transients. Providing transportation out of Monroe County accomplishes this. Others become stranded and need assistance. Costs continue to rise. 3. Inmate/Resident,. S,uii-�art: ere is 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 d 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 County that have been sent to serve their terms of incarceration i other state prisons. This also includes those in eailittio Programs or Shelters. This includes funds for hygiene articles and personal items that must be purchased. e maintain contact by correspondence and assistance during their time when permitted release. e are able to testify to the above examples with specific cases. Packet Pg. 1889 M.1.1 The Last Resort Ministry, Inc - - C. Back d.....,......d Signific ce. The Marathon Detention Center a capacity of ��ro .�_ 60 inmates. The Guidance/Care Center of the Middle Keys has a capacity of 20 patients - I I beds for the Crisis Stabilization Unit, 6 beds for Detoxification, and 2 beds reserved for placement to a Residential Treatment Facility. Dade Correctional Institution t til population of 1, 06 inmates. Many are without human and spiritual resources to assist thern. 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 ' to/patient, but also of the community, that they successfully restart their lives. The Ministry is directly aimed at helping this to happen. D. T yet Po ation. Adult males in the Marathon Detention Center—potentially 2 60 at any time ; Dade Correctional Institution with a potential population of 1,406 inmates; over age 18 males and females in the Guidance/Care Center of the Middle Keys—potentially 19 at any time; Heron Assisted Living Facility in Marathon with 14 female and male chronic mental health residents; homeless and 0 transients entering Monroe County in an ever-increasing number; yoe seeking U) recovery fromalcohol/drug addiction or an ever increasing list of other addictions and stresses of life. This assistance is provided by The Last Resort Ministry, Inc and its Life Recovery Group. E. Aoro c ,Me- t o . The Ministry is on-going operation, so o start-up is Q necessary. With additional in of yearly operationsit will be possible to recruit more volunteers in the Marathon area. F. Resources _ d Costs. Proposed Budget for the Year 2023 (Attachment ). G. Susta`._..bilitr:. During the period for which we seek funding we will solicit support from individuals and organizations in the Marathon community, reaching out beyond individuals and churches that are now providing some support. H. Financial Statement -Income and Expense Report for 2022 (Attachments A&B) In Conclusion. It is attracting money to fortify yearly operations that will enable the ministry to move ahead. In our over 27 years of operation we have developed a wonderful rapport with the Marathon Detention Center Officers—Monroe County Sheriff Officers - Probation Officers - Public Defenders Office -Judges - Correction Officers, Staff, Administration and Chaplain Office at Dade Correctional Institution— eoo Hospital- Guidance/Care Center including Heron Assisted Living Facility- KAIR and Independence Cy. We also are available to other prison chaplains requesting assistance We believe that we all work toward the same goal which is to assist those whom we serve—the incarcerated, the mentally challenged, the drug and alcohol addicts and the homeless and transits—to be reunited to their families or referred to other agencies able to assist them. Our hope is to restore them to be the productive and responsible persons that our Creator intended them to be. The m igLi _wiltuco t n e worksrll,;as volunteers with no_o a receivin a sal, as well as i'1rovidjM for their o __ i,� son e ,e _es e ask for the continued financial support from the Monroe County Sheriff s Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund to help our efforts.

We would like the SAFF Advisory Board to be a financial stakeholder in assisting Wesley House in providing a priority need —dental and orthodontic services for minors in our care. Wesley House is a resource and refuge for hundreds of children and families daily in Monroe County. The multitude of services offered to Monroe County residents is detailed in the following section. We are requesting$7,000 to be applied toward our Community Based Care dental care needs. The goal of this program is to provide additional funding for oral surgery and orthodontic services to children in the dependency care system managed by Wesley House's CBC 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 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 U) and self-esteem. In fiscal year 2022, Wesley House spent$27,043 on dental, oral surgical and orthodontic treatments for children in the dependency care system not covered by other community N resources. Q The children in the dependency care system, our county'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 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 related to 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 and 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-long outcomes of these youth. 3 Packet Pg. 1905 M.1.n 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 agency for all of Monroe County's licensed childcare services. The program, known as "school 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 U) 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, foster and adoptive family recruitment, training and support services when it is necessary to remove a child from his or her family, and additionally the Healthy Families-Monroe program Q 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 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. 1906 M.1.n ever before in our 100 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". 0 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 N Full Case Management Foster Care Services U) Independent Living Transition Services 0 Supervised Visitation Transportation Services 2. Family Services Family Preservation Services Enhanced In-Home Services Family Reunification Services Nurturing Parenting Program 3. Healthy Families Monroe 4. Inez Martin Child Development Center Child care center 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. 1907 M.1.n accomplishments that literally make Wesley House the leading human 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, COA and reputation for taking leadership positions. For example, our Inez Martin Child Development Center, has "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 House. The voting Board is typically 15-members and is also supported by an Advisory Board. The Board supervises the CEO who is responsible for the daily program service operations and for the administrative and fiscal functions of the agency. Board of Directors Chair— Kristine Pabian, Key West Nancy Amsterdam —Key West Vice Chair—Sean Brandenburg, Key West Susan Sikich— Key West Treasurer—Julio Torrado, Key West Sharon Toppino— Key West Secretary—Pamela Lindner, Key West Joy McPeters— Key West Kristen Livengood —Big Pine Key Yvette Talbot—Key West Cathy Crane—Key West Chris Deem— Key West Nora Hendrix—Miami (SE District United Methodist Women) Maria Pierce— Key West (Local designee for Nora Hendrix) N Wesley House has offices covering the Florida Keys in Key West and Key Largo. The Wesley c� House current budget related to all offered services is close to $7 Million and the agency employs 70+ extremely talented and many multiple certified staff members. These directors 0 and staff submit reports (fiscal, service, and administrative) regularly, as required by all funders. Current Wesley House CBC staff, overseen by the CBC Director, and with Full Case Manager Supervisors and Wesley House Finance Department staff, will manage the funds we are requesting in this application (described in the following answer). B. Goals, Objectives and Outcomes (What needs to be done). Supply documentation of the need if it is available. The goal of this program is to provide funding for orthodontist work, braces and oral surgery to children in the dependency care system managed by Wesley House's CBC 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. 6 Packet Pg. 1908 M.1.n 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. 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 and orthodontists that accept Medicaid eligible patients is in Miami. Orthodontic services, 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. U) 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, Wesley House must payout out-of-pocket for these services. Wesley House has worked out discounted rates with two providers and three orthodontists and will negotiate on a per child basis with others. Q 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. 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 two offices on both ends of Monroe County that offer Community Based Care Full Case Management services. Children requiring oral surgical and orthodontic treatment would be identified in each location 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 year. In addition,the Finance Department would be involved in disbursing, tracking and auditing the Fund. No 7 Packet Pg. 1909 M.1.n 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 2022, $27,043 was expended by Wesley House for children in the dependency care system for dental and orthodontic treatments. This is somewhat more than normal. In addition, Wesley House often provides transportation services to assist in getting children to dental appointments. FY 2023 Community Based Care Dental Services Budget `6 Dental $20,000 Total $20,000 0 LL 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 life U) 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 N 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 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 $7 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 essence of the Monroe County Sheriffs Asset Forfeiture program. If we were unable to receive 8 Packet Pg. 1910 M.1.n 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 $7,000 we are requesting through the SAFF grant.

We are respectfully requesting your kind consideration of our financial support grant proposal 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, LL other therapies and therapeutic activities,child-friendly autism related products,equipment and materials,and our newly developed Sensory Boxes. Although ASK's headquarters is physically based in Tavernier, Florida, its services are provided o throughout the entire Florida Keys. Educational seminars and our very popular parent/family U) support groups and facilitated socials are in donated locations at the Marathon Hampton Inn Hotel, the Basilica School in Key West and in Tavernier. 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 N Academy of Pediatrics). U) 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 autism in our still woefully underserved county. We need your financial support to continue providing services to the growing number of Florida Keys boys and girls afflicted by autism and to the parents and o loved ones struggling to understand this horrible, and many times overlooked, undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed disorder. 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 their families. MT The Board and volunteers of ASK are committed to solving problems,making valuable resource referrals, offering understanding peer support groups and educational workshops. ASK provides materials,products, contracted therapeutic services and assistance with insurance deductibles and c� initial autism screening and diagnostics. We thank the Monroe County Sheriffs Office for your involvement in the most popular and effective new initiative the Autism Society of the Keys has ever offered. "Sensory Boxes"with associated training workshops were provided to first responders throughout Monroe County to aid with handling children with autism in crisis situations. This program dovetails perfectly with our traditional programs,events, and services. ASK has distributed Sensory Boxes to MCSO,Monroe County police departments,fire stations and first responders throughout the Keys,and more are coming. We have expanded this project to all public and private schools, daycare facilities,the FL Department of Children and Families and to individuals and families affected by autism. We cannot thank you enough for all your help. We're proud to work with you and your great people. Packet Pg. 1916 M.1.o Mission Statement: The Autism Society of the Keys' mission statement is to provide services to children and families affected by autism to improve their quality of life. mmmrmmrwr irmmmw�omwi.. mmmmmmww swxmmumrmmmmmrcmmnmr�uo mmmmmmmmmmmm �.. THE APPLICATION Here you should include(limit six pages): A. Introduction. Describe the overall organization,its qualifications relevant to this request,and its o capacity to manage the project. ASK is a true grassroots organization founded by Craig and Jill 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 N 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 0 prayed then went on-line and started researching." 0 Still reeling from this devastating and seemingly hopeless news,the Campbells were stunned by the lack of: 1) public understanding 2)general knowledge concerning autism and 3) local E 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 E 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 ,. ever bit o credit helping our child b g Y f p g y finding o � services[which were]only provided in Miami. WIlut"1111 We drove to Miami for doctors, therapists 1� 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 80%. 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. Packet Pg. 1917 M.1.o 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 18 years old,graduated from high school,and entered FL Keys Community College, with no special support needed. He's an excellent student, eats,plays, talks and has many fantastic friendships!" 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 o 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 U) U) passion is heartwarming and inspiring. ASK provides: • Autism-specific services, products, equipment and therapies. • Legal assistance and emotional support while navigating the many times c14 confusing, overwhelming, and cumbersome Public-School system. • Monthly Keys-wide rotating workshops on autism awareness, environmental toxins, biomedical treatments,therapies, available resources, Public-School updates, and ever-changing autism-related current events. • A community of volunteer families to support one another through our ever- 0 growing social media outlets, social gatherings,telephone, and email. • Information through press releases, speaking engagements, social media, U conferences, news broadcasts and available resources for autism assistance. • Books and DVDs geared for children and adults E • Facilitated,volunteer-run Social Meetings where families and children with autism meet with peers for support and recreational activities. • Financial assistance with professional services to meet deductibles, initial screening expenses, or critical services beyond their ability to pay • Availability by phone, email, or Facebook to talk, answer questions and help in any way we can. C. Background and Significance (Why the project is important to the community) Autism reyalenc www : �p a fi ures rowin are,,,,, Late in 2021 the CDC announced that the new statistic of autism is now 1 in 44 children.This soaring number, that continues to climb, only motivates us even more to help families find us more quickly! We know that early detection and treatment is the key for our children to be their most successful. We have elevated our social media presence with both Facebook and Instagram,we also have Constant Contact,Simple Texting,and Zoom available for our community. 6 Packet Pg. 1918 M.1.o We want to be sure that people can find us and communicate in the format that fits them best.These options continue to help us share the resources we have available. You may have noticed that we have also created a "Local Story of Hope and Success"that we publish widely to bring hope to our community, be transparent in our struggles, share our successes, and encourage each other. 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 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 o 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 Monroe County/Florida Keys boy,girl N orfamily 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. 4- 0 E.Approach Method. (How will the project be done?Where will it be done?When?What staffing is required?) 0 *ASK is run almost totally with volunteers.The Sheriff's Asset Forfeiture Fund donation will go toward E direct services and products for individuals and families struggling with autism. *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 more than 1,000 Facebook followers, a corps of 50 dedicated 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. 1919 M.1.o �a a.

N zl U) 0 c� LO c� Packet Pg. 1926 M.1.p Application Introduction The Grace Jones Community Center operates Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 5:00pm, serving children in Marathon,FL from infants up to six years old.We provide top-tier,affordable daycare to families who are struggling and often work multiple jobs to meet their family's basic needs and expenses. While at Grace Jones,each attendee is provided healthy meals at breakfast and lunch, in addition to a safe and supportive environment in which they can thrive.This alleviates parents'stress of planning these meals and provides food security for our at-risk and low-income families. Grace Jones is requesting$5,000 in grant funding toward its food program,to continue providing healthy meals to its students year-round.The purpose of this program is to ensure that as children's minds are developing,they have access to safe and healthy foods to fuel the growth of their young bodies. Program Goals& Outcomes We expect to succeed in three main goals: 0 1. The 57 children that attend Grace Jones daycare will receive two meals per day,while onsite. 2. 100%of Grace Jones families will feel financial relief by not having to purchase food to send U) with their children. 3. 100%of meals served at Grace Jones will be nutritious and satisfying. ' � We will track the number of students enrolled in programming, as well as the number of meals provided to students during the grant period. N zl If each student attending Grace Jones Community Center eats healthy foods for breakfast and lunch while onsite,our program has been successful. 0 Community Need/Program Significance Grace Jones Community Center is in Marathon,Florida,which draws a great number of vacationers and LO part-time Florida dwellers.Because this area is a popular travel destination,prices of rent,food,and other daily expenses are skyrocketing,making the city a difficult place to survive for longtime residents. Maintaining residency is becoming increasingly difficult for our families,most of whom are low to middle-income. Grace Jones provides a safe high-quality environment where these working families can place their children at an affordable cost as they work each day in the local community. Grace Jones'food program significantly impacts the lives of these families by providing two meals daily to each student while attending daycare,ensuring that as children's minds are developing,they have access to healthy foods to fuel the growth of their bodies. Our staff has noticed that when kids come back to daycare on Monday mornings,many eat significantly more food than they do the rest of the week.Many of our students struggle with food insecurity at home. eat.Grace Jones is a safe space where our kids don't have to worry about feeling hungry,which should never be the concern of a child.We are proud to offer this service for our community,and we are committed to keeping it free for all families. Packet Pg. 1927 M.1.p Target Population Grace Jones serves children from infants to six years old.Most of Grace Jones'families are low to moderate-income.The Early Learning Coalition of Miami-Dade County provides financial background screenings of parents,which determines which students are eligible for tuition subsidies and other financial assistance.Those families that qualify for ELC support are also challenged to pay the costs for daily meals. Further,a substantial portion of our families have a household income above the maximum for ELC support but less than or near 80%of the Average Median Income in Monroe County.Our food program is particularly important to support the needs of these families. Approach Because of Grace Jones'food program,all children receive breakfast and lunch at no cost while attending daycare,allowing parents to redistribute funds typically spent on breakfast and lunch,on other essential daily expenses. The meals are prepared by Grace Jones'cook.Our daycare is the only one of its kind in the Middle Keys that offers a food program.For low-income students especially,this food program is an essential component of their weekly nutrition. 0 Resources and Costs U) U) We receive partial reimbursement from the Florida Department of Health for food costs,which covers $34,261, or 41%,of food program expenses, leaving us to raise an additional$50,000 annually to cover food program expenses, including the salary of our cook. We look forward to your partnership,which will ensure that our 57 students do not go hungry while attending Grace Jones daycare. N zl Sustainability 0 The food program has been part of Grace Jones'core mission since the present facility,which contains a kitchen and adequate refrigerated storage,was built in 2005.To fund Grace Jones'food program,we write funding proposals to local community foundations,family and corporate foundations,and other LO grant-making agencies,plus conduct various fundraising events in the Middle Keys community. Our commitment to keeping the food program free to all families is a top priority.We currently have three donors that contribute unrestricted funds each year, and as a last resort,these funds can be drawn from to support the food program.The support of the Monroe County Sheriffs Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund is essential to ensure food security for the 57 children who attend Grace Jones daily.

Guidance Care Center's Heron Assisted Living program offers permanent housing and supportive services to Monroe County adults with chronic and persistent mental illness in a comfortable, homelike setting. The Heron currently provides housing to 14 Adults but is in the midst of a 5-year project to rebuild the facility and increase capacity to 16. Ensuring the safety and security of our residents and employees is a top priority. Installation of an adequate surveillance system and lighting is critical to achieve this. 24-hour video surveillance allows staff, even remotely, to monitor resident activity and behavior while assuring that staff are providing considerate and accountable care. Crime prevention is also a consideration, to curtail -� incidents of vandalism and theft inside and outside the facility and assist with identifying perpetrators. We are requesting a total of$9,500 to purchase and install a 16-camera surveillance and lighting system with the capability of recording up to 4 terabytes capacity which will retain video recordings for two weeks. Live viewing will also be available through video monitor. o Having a safe and secure place to live is a critical component of recovery and rehabilitation. Experience has shown us that people with stable housing are more receptive to participating < in other programs to help manage mental health and substance abuse challenges. Coupling this with on-site and easily accessible support services enables those with mental health disorders to live more independently and enjoy a comfortable and fulfilling life. The Heron Assisted Living Facility is a place where this can be a reality. N 0 U U c� c� 3 of 7 Packet Pg. 1932 M.1.q A. Introduction. Describe the overall organization, its qualifications relevant to this request, and its capacity to manage the project. Guidance/Care Center, Inc. (GCC) provides behavioral health services, education, and support to benefit. • People from all incomes and walks of life • Adults, children, and families • Persons experiencing issues with mental health and/or substance abuse problems • Persons in crisis • Adults with serious and persistent mental illness • Mothers and fathers working to be better parents • Children and youth with a behavior problem GCC works collaboratively with other agencies, schools, private providers, law enforcement, hospitals and other behavioral health providers to support and enhance the benefits to our clients, consumers and other stake holders. GCC serves all clients regardless of inability to pay. , Discounts for essential services are offered based on family size and income. 0 U) The proposed project will directly impact The Heron Supported Living Program. Approaching its 34th year, The Heron offers permanent housing and supportive services in a comfortable, homelike setting to Monroe County adults with serious and persistent mental illness. The Heron is the only Assisted Living Facility with a Limited Mental Health License in Monroe County. The facility exclusively serves low-income adults with chronic mental illness. N GCC has the resources and infrastructure to successfully install and maintain the desired security system. A combination of local security contracting for installation and an established IT department to install and update software will assure successful completion and utilization of the equipment. B. Goals Objectives and Outcomes (What needs to be done). Supply documentation of the need if it is available. U This project will accomplish two goals: 9. Improve resident safety by: U a. Providing a means for uninterrupted monitoring of patient behavior in all c� common areas of the facility b. Providing a deterrent to unsafe behavior 2. Improve campus security by. a. Providing a means of uninterrupted monitoring of the property b. Providing a deterrent to criminal activity c. Providing a means of recording campus activity in the event that a crime has been committed 4 of 7 Packet Pg. 1933 M.1.q C. Back round and Si nificance (Why the project is important to the community). The Heron currently provides housing to 14 Adults. While we do occasionally receive referrals from outside of Monroe County, the majority of our residents and their families have roots here. Currently, six residents are from the Lower Keys, three are from the Middle Keys, and three are from the Upper Keys. There are presently 6 local residents awaiting assignment, all from the Lower Keys It is important that all of our staff, residents, and community partners are confident that our facility provide the highest quality of care, which includes assuring safety of all parties in the process. D. Target Population (Who will be served specifically? Age? Gender? Special circumstances) The primary target population of GCC-The Heron are adults with serious and persistent mental illness. E. Approach Method. (How will the project be done? Where will it be done? When? What staffing is required?) ; Installation will be conducted by a local contractor on site in our Marathon facility. Installation o will not disrupt operations. Additional staffing will not be required during installation, or for monitoring once the equipment is up and running. U) 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 is no other source of funding for a project of this type. Equipment and setup are the only expenses. Support, as needed, will be provided by our own IT department.

E Packet Pg. 1941 M.1.r Back�2round and_Sitxn ficance—C Following the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas schools are required to do more to ensure student safety. In a time of increased school violence and students, engaging in early exposure to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco and other destructive behaviors effective prevention in schools is more necessary than ever. According to the 2022 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey, it indicates the need for alarm as in many of the use areas Monroe County youth statistics are higher than the state average. According to the 2022 FYSAS past 30 day use for marijuana in Monroe County is 20.6% for high school students and 5.8 for middle school students. Additionally, the survey states that alcohol use for the past 30 days is 29.6% for high school students and 8.7% for middle school students, up from 6% in 2018 and binge drinking is 14.4% for high school students and 3.9% for middle school students, up from 2.5% in 2018. All of these percentages are higher than the state average. Since Marathon High School is a sixth-twelfth grade educational facility the increase of use in middle school students and the high percentage for high school students can be targeted through prevention efforts. The materials that will be purchased with grant funds will target prevention of drinking alcohol and marijuana use. 0 Wendy McPheron, MS principal, has collaborated with ECMC and has encouraged the staff and faculty to be on board, and continues to support our efforts. U) Tar;;et Population-D All 720 Marathon High School students will participate in the monthly prevention activities that are held on campus. Students are ages 11-18 (348 female, 372 male). Elementary age students (5-11) will be the target N population for activities held at Stanly Switlik and at community events.

The Salvation Army originated in the United Kingdom and expanded to the United States in 1879. It began as a movement to provide help to the poor and disadvantaged and was organized as a"voluntary army."The Salvation Army is a world-wide,non-profit organization and includes programs for Social Services assistance, Emergency Response, Substance Abuse and Addiction Dependency, Health, Long-Term Disaster Recovery and many others. Your grant award will be used to provide assistance to Monroe County residents and may include rent and utilities, child-care,medical co-pays and prescriptions,health and dental services,transportation needs, clothing and household items through vouchers from a Salvation Army store, minor car repairs, education expenses, emergency evacuation and other emergency needs. The Pathway of Hope initiative is entering its third year in Monroe County and offers long-term family mentoring and guidance in the areas of financial education and management and life skills. Pathway of Hope teaches budgeting, goal-setting and furthering education in order to improve job qualifications. The goal is to assist the family to a place of self-sufficiency. Pathway of Hope qualifications include having at least one minor child in the household and a committed desire to _ break the cycle of generational poverty. Pathway of Hope families may stay in the program from six months to two years and beyond, if necessary. U) According to our local United Way's recent Asset-limited, income-constrained, employed(ALICE) statistics, families have lost buying power and financial stability due to the high rate of inflation and outpaced wages. The Salvation Army Board of Directors and staff are committed to assist Monroe County residents who find themselves in a temporary financial need due to health E issues, COVID-related illnesses and quarantine periods,job losses, and unexpected expenses. The ability to assist families through these times can help prevent social distress, substance abuse and possible crimes. Salvation Army assistance through social services may encourage families and individuals to work toward preventing future personal crises such as eviction, utility disconnects, child-care needs and00 evacuation ability in a storm. c� Packet Pg. 1948 W M.1.s 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. Founded over 150 years ago, The Salvation Army, a non-profit organization,has been providing assistance to the disadvantaged community in multiple areas of their lives. The mission of The Salvation Army is to meet human needs without discrimination. The Salvation Army offers sheltering, feeding, clothing,personal rehabilitation and even helps to rebuild homes destroyed by disasters.

Each case is handled locally and financial requests are paid directly to the service provider. B. Goals, Objectives and Outcomes (What needs to be done). Supply documentation of the need if it is available. ; 0 Our objective is to meet human needs without discrimination per our mission statement. The need for assistance increases every year due to continually rising prices, disasters, unemployment, health issues and many other reasons. We continue to reach out to our community to extend assistance wherever possible to as many as possible with a goal of lifting residents out of hopelessness and despair. Pathway of Hope, our long-term program, walks alongside the family and mentors, guides, directs and refers clients to multiple resources and helps navigate those systems. The Salvation Army of Monroe County works county-wide with several partner organizations such as Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, Monroe County Social Services, Legal Services,multiple churches and local food banks to help bring the client to a positive place and enable them to move forward and live independently. C. Background and Significance (Why the project is important to the community). 00 Physically, emotionally, socially, financially healthy residents create healthy communities. This is why our services are extremely important. Salvation Army's 150+-year history has proven that reaching out to help others creates a better environment, a better community, and more responsible citizens. Individual case management offers encouragement to strive for a better lifestyle. D. Target Population(Who will be served specifically?Age?Gender?

A licant s Si ature: Applicant's Name (Printed) 3 Packet Pg. 1957 M.1.t Abstract The Key West Preschool Cooperative, Inc. is in its thirty-third (33nd) year and serves families with children ages newborn through 5 years old. Our VPK program is a free, State fund supplemented program which helps lower income families, military families, and many other local families by providing a preschool service. We have an average enrollment of about 30-45 children each year, thus, for the last thirty-third (33) years we've taught around 1,000 to 1,500 local children. All of our classes are low cost and our volunteer opportunities allow families to be highly involved and influential in our day to day operations. Our Preschool is a non-denominational, non-profit cooperative, run by the families of the students and we rely heavily upon donations and fundraisers to make our school successful to 0 continue to be able to provide our children with a supportive, nurturing and quality learning environment. U) U) We need to be able to sustain our school program and our availability to provide developmentally appropriate educational practices, with parents forming an integral component of our co-op community, fully participating in their child's introduction to school, which as we all know areCN the most important ones to be able to develop good learning skills. We would also like to grow Q c� our scholarship program for local parents that cannot afford it but would like to have their child attend the Key West Preschool Coop. U 0 c� c� 4 Packet Pg. 1958 M.1.t A. Introduction The Key West Preschool Co-op Program is a long-standing program that supports education of young children from low income, military and other families with school age children throughout Monroe County. We are a nondenominational, nonprofit school serving families in the lower Keys and Key West for the past thirty-three years. The program is based on meeting the fundamental educational needs of infant to 5 year old children, educating and developing habits which will allow them to be successful students in their school careers. Our program is funded by donation and volunteer services of the parents and families with children in the school participating in the Co-op. Parents are encouraged to support and participate in the daily 0 operations of the school and their children's education. U) CN B. Goals, Objectives and Outcomes 0 0 U The Co-op was created to provide quality preschool care and education for the local community c� through a volunteer and parent supported program. In order to maintain a low tuition costs, the school relies on fundraising in order to continue operating. Currently, we have five (5) salaried U) teachers, one office manager, and two (2)paid substitute teachers which are covered by tuitions and donations. The SAFF funds requested would be utilized for other expenses as follows: We rent our classrooms and playground from the Peace Covenant Church on Flagler Ave. We are required to maintain the facilities including cleaning and general maintenance and upkeep of the classrooms and restrooms, maintenance and safety of the grounds, playground equipment and facilities. The funds raised are used to pay for educational materials, school supplies such as crayons, markers, paper, developmental and educational tools, toys and books. We also would utilize the surplus funding to provide tuition scholarships on an as needed basis. 5 Packet Pg. 1959 M.1.t C. Background/Significance The program has been serving children in our community for the past thirty-three years. We began the program in order to provide quality preschool services at an affordable tuition for families willing to participate in the operation of the program. The cooperative is open to the general public and serves the entire community. Volunteering and fundraising help to keep costs low and affordable for low income, military and other families in the community. Maintaining low cost alternatives for preschool children and their families contributes to the quality of life for our family and members. This program is highly significant in providing this resource in our area with limited options for low income families in the Florida Keys.

These funds will support our efforts to provide healthy, nutritious fresh meals to Key West's _ senior citizens and low-income individuals. Cooking with Love currently provides approximately 240 home cooked meals and distributes at least 70 grocery bags every week to the neediest members of the Key West community. U' Key West's elderly residents often live on impossibly small fixed incomes,many times alone, with health challenges and other considerations that make food shopping and preparation challenging and expensive. When smiling volunteers deliver delicious meals to the doorsteps of these Key West seniors, the meals bring nutrition Q and comfort to a vulnerable population. U) The program operates from Metropolitan Community Church's kitchen on Petronia Street, where our 100% volunteer-based staff plans, prepares, and delivers the food. Every Saturday morning,volunteers prepare, cook, and package the meals, while teams of two deliver them to clients' homes throughout Key West. The program is entirely volunteer-supported, and no one involved receives compensation. If approved, funding from the Monroe County Sheriff s Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund will contribute significantly to our efforts to improve the health, well-being, and overall quality of life of Key West's elderly residents. 0 , U CL g wr % 0 i cN Volunteers on Christmas Eve, 2022 3 Packet Pg. 1967 M.1.0 THE APPLICATON A. Introduction The Cooking with Love program began in 1991,when MCC identified a problem that needed a solution. Key West's vulnerable elderly citizens longed for more social contact, as well as home cooked meals. When volunteers called the local Helpline elder call list to offer a weekly meal to 23 citizens,the need was apparent: 20 of those seniors responded. After the first delivery to the senior citizen complex on Kennedy Drive, one client wrote a thank you note explaining that it was her first"home cooked"meal in over three years. Within two months, the program grew to over 60 meals a week, and today Cooking with Love delivers over 240 meals weekly and over 70 grocery bags of food items to seniors throughout Key West. As seniors find themselves squeezed by increased1 ° living expenses and medical costs, the need has only grown. One c volunteer related that when a meal recipient tearfully thanked him ,he U_ � i w �ju shared that "now I can pick up my prescription and eat too." 0 U) Once a week on Saturdays, volunteer chefs prepare a fresh,healthy, balanced hot meal in the MCC commercial kitchen. Volunteers then package the meals in insulated, to-go containers and teams deliver them °' ' throughout Key West. Each week, teams also prepare approximately 70 ' grocery bags of food items containing shelf-stable items dairy, fresh fruit and produce, for those who are able to cook for themselves but ,�%��,�� 1 1 U, might have trouble affording such groceries. Before Saturday's meal prep activities begin, another team spends the week planning, procuring, and organizing the weekly meal and subsequent deliveries. Sample meal:homemade bolognese with a bowtie pasta,fresh vegetables,whole Cooking with Love partners with a number of other community wheat dinner roll organizations to supply their food pantry including Feeding South Florida, the city of Key West, Ocean Reef,United Way of the Florida Keys, Community Foundation of the Florida Keys, Monroe County, KW Chamber of Commerce, and the Key West Women's Club. The program benefits from fundraisers done by Mary Ellen's Bar& Grill, Sunday Bingo, and Royal Furniture, and private c donations from the community. Cookin with Love demonstrates its capacity for meal delivery in two ways. g p Y rY Y First we have been at this a long time. Since 1991 we have only missed three T, Saturdays due to hurricanes, so our ability to continue to operate is well l established. N Secondly, during and after the pandemic we have actually increased our capacity. This is due to the fierce dedication of our volunteers,who insist on E reaching out to help the many elderly and physically infirm island residents among us. While this dedication may not be something that can be quantified in a chart, it does speak, over time, to the reliability and confidence SAFF can have in our organization's ability to deliver on what we say we will do. For example, the volunteer cooks often begin meal preparation on the Thursdays i and Fridays leading up to the distribution day, as the kitchen is small and 240 N meals cannot be finished in one morning. Fresh red peppers used in fajita recipe 4 Packet Pg. 1968 M.1.0 B. Goals, Objectives, and Outcomes � Cooking with Love seeks to improve the nutritional value of weekly meals by increased use of proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and decreased use of canned goods. Two other goals include 1)helping seniors and those in most need to reduce overall food expenses so they can reduce basic living expenses, and 2) improving their quality of life by providing a delicious meal. We � strive to include fresh vegetables and/or fruit in each meal, and to minimize the use of processed foods. p �;. Senior citizens, according to the World Health Organization and the USDA, commonly suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. This is because seniors eat less, and lack variety in the foods they eat. %G Elders also eat fewer foods rich in micronutrients due to their high ' cost. � ?° u Compounding this situation is the fact that older people often suffer from decreased immune function, which contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. Other significant age-related changes, include the loss of cognitive function and deteriorating vision, hinder good health and dietary habits in old age. Cooking with Love meals N add nutritional value, as well as provide types of food that many seniors simply can't acquire, prepare, or afford. U) For almost 30 years, the Cooking with Love program has worked to reduce the risk of disease and malnutrition for vulnerable Key West residents, and we hope to do so long into the future. c� ;, r �rlflll�rl, c� E IM i E 5 Packet Pg. 1969 C. Background and Significance Since 1991, Cooking with Love has delivered home-cooked meals to the Key West community every Saturday with the exception of a single Saturday during Hurricane Wilma and two during Hurricane Irma. The Cooking with Love program has been something that Key West seniors rely on, and it also supplements a key part of Key : West's support for senior citizens. Many seniors qualify for the r County-sponsored"Meals-on-Wheels"program, and that program w supplies five frozen TV dinner-style meals per week. Cooking with Love provides an extra-large meal, so it will easily feed a � Meals-on-Wheels senior for the two uncovered weekend days. U_ U) Cooking with Love has also proved to be a crucial support for senior citizens during the pandemic. Most of our clients live alone, and even before the pandemic, contact with our volunteers might be their only social interaction each week. We were able to continue bringing meals and smiles throughout the pandemic by implementing some simple safety protocols, including limiting the Ready to deliver p g p Y number of volunteers in the building at once, some of which continue to this day. For about six months during 2020, the program also delivered meals on Wednesdays, given the uncertainty seniors faced entering a grocery store and knowing that restaurants were shut down. c� In 2021, Cooking with Love expanded the program to include bulk meals to the largest Key West homeless shelter, KOTS. We provide enough food for at least 50 lunches for KOTS clients, as well as healthy snacks and fresh fruits when available. For these reasons, Cooking with Love has demonstrated we can step up in an emergency, and we are prepared E to do so again whenever the need arises. U In the early days of the pandemic, we partnered with local chefs and restaurants, including Azur, El Siboney, and Sister Noodle. These restaurant chefs volunteered to prepare meals in their own kitchens,while our 0 volunteers waited outside to run deliveries. These partnerships continue to help us expand our reach even further as we continue to support Key West seniors and demonstrate the amount of community support that our program enjoys. And while the positive impact on clients' physical and mental health is difficult to measure quantitatively, it is undeniable. We receive thank you letters frequently(see page 10), and while home-cooked meals may seem like a small thing to some,they can be invaluable for aging adults, especially those living alone. Many find it difficult to continue living independently, and they may struggle with everyday tasks they used to complete easily, such as preparing dinner. A freshly made meal eases those struggles just a bit, and helps seniors live more comfortably and with dignity. 6 Packet Pg. 1970 x M.1.0 D. Target population The vast majority of Cooking with Love's clients are ages 65 and over and on a fixed income, homebound, and/or limited in mobility. While the elderly and poor are the main targets of the program, Cooking with Love never excludes anyone from the program based on their income, race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, and sexual orientation), family status, national origin, age or disability. Clients are not required to attend or endorse Metropolitan Community Church nor any other Church. Some clients are referred by Monroe County In-Home Supportive Services, and other non-profits and churches, but most are on the list due to word of mouth-- Cooking with Love at this moment has no waiting lists for 0 meals.

Approach Method The project is overseen by two head coordinators: one for managing menu planning, food and supply procurement, and kitchen volunteers; and one for managing the client list, route planning, and delivery volunteers. The Project is implemented by a staff of over 70 rotating volunteers. Each week, the tasks include: • ordering and purchasing food and supplies • moving delivered product into the building, sorting and refrigerating/freezing as needed(often a half ton of product or more) • initial food preparation on Thursday or Friday(cooking the protein,preparing/chopping vegetables,etc.) • final cooking on distribution day LL • packing of grocery bags on distribution day , • packaging the meals(as of this writing, about 195 individual meals)assembly-line style • grouping the meals for each delivery route and ensuring each route has an updated, accurate list of U) addresses and quantities,clipboards,pens and grocery bags • loading vehicles as the delivery volunteers arrive • cleanup and planning the menu for next week N � i j1 f f� 6 C, 0 Volunteer Cooks Grocery bags ready for pickup No volunteer, including the coordinators and the Pastor,has been paid nor will be paid for volunteering for Cooking with Love. On occasion, the Church will compensate the volunteers by making coffee or offering treats. No volunteers or meal recipients are required to be a member of or attend MCC or any other church, nor are they required to endorse any religion or faith. When possible, some of the groceries for the bags to be distributed are secured through Feeding South Florida. Feeding South Florida is a local division of Feeding America and their gifts are limited to what the USDA has purchased for them. Most weeks,we do not know what we will receive from Feeding South Florida. 8 Packet Pg. 1972 M.1.0 F. Resources and Costs In 2022, food prices increased by 9.9 percent(source: oliait.:� ��U:®��iz �"fix As any reader might expect, a near 10%increase in cost strains the resources of any feeding program, and food costs in Key West are above the national average. We strive to continue the quantity of meals and the substance of the meal—as mentioned above, our goal is for our meal to be enough for a senior to eat twice. If awarded, Cooking with Love will use all the funds for food and supplies directly related to the meals (food containers, serving pans, and incidentals such as broken can openers). Other costs associated with the programU. such as propane, electricity, water, copy paper, etc. will NOT be funded through the SAFF grant. 2 In 2022, the program served over 12,480 meals, 4,000 grocery bags, and in total, over 44,000 pounds (22 tons) U. of food throughout Key West. U) 0 Thank you to the Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund Advisory Board for your past support, and consideration of this U) current request. Thanks to you, Cooking with Love has been able to support Key West's vulnerable seniors, and that support is especially crucial now as food costs continue to increase quickly. cN c� 1� 0 t3 i tF ?

ScoutReach's primary objective is to eliminate barriers and obstacles that prevent youth and families from joining our character building programs. The program has proven to be effective in serving at-risk youth and their families. We have targeted Monroe County's most challenging neighborhoods including Bahama Village in Key West, Stock Island, Marathon, Big Pine Key and Key Largo. We intend to serve 150 youth, ages 5 to 20, through this initiative. South Florida Council will offer four character development programs for youth - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting Venturing & Exploring. All four of these programs include components that deal with the three focus areas of the Monroe County Sheriff's grants—Crime prevention, Drug abuse prevention, Mental and Physical health and Educational. 0 Triyditoru'ol Scot i°iloiii;j Progriuri CubScout's e°ioo Sicotipt BSA) In Cub Scouts, boys and girls have fun and adventure in a program that builds character and U) instills values. Cub Scouting embraces the values of citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage,faith, health and fitness, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility. These values impact youth at all levels of the Cub Scout program - all while they're having a great time with their friends and families. Scouts BSA is designed to N develop character, citizenship, and fitness. Through the advancement program and peer group leadership, Scouting helps young men and women develop into a well-rounded adult. . Vertu irfing is one of the core programs of the BSA, serving young men and women. Members must be at least 14 years old, or 13 years old and have completed eighth grade, through age 20. The purpose of Venturing is to provide positive experiences to help youth mature and to prepare them to become responsible adults. 0 c� Exlmlor ,er l)rog;r rn Exploring serves two different age groups, both coed. Exploring Clubs serve middle schoolers, M ages 10—14, in sixth—eighth grades. Exploring posts serve High Schoolers, ages 14—20 years old. The program model is the same for both age groups—hands-on and interactive character and career activities are facilitated by trained business leaders in the local community. The program exposes these underserved youth, who have little to no information about the career options available to them,to a variety of organizations and industries. Explorers are introduced to diverse careers,tour varied worksites, and learn about the training and education required to secure employment, as well as about job outlooks and corresponding salaries. The targeted Packs, Troops, Crews. Clubs and Posts will receive weekly, after school, Scout meetings and activities at the Chartered Organization by experienced,trained, adult volunteers who will serve as positive role models for the youth. The cost to support a youth in a scouting program is approximately$250.00 per youth per year. Due to generous funders in the community we are asking Monroe County Sheriff's office to only contribute $66.67 per youth to support this program. We do a have a matching grant from the Boy Scouts of America national office for this project. Packet Pg. 1977 M.1.v For nearly 100 years,the Boy Scouts of America's mission has been to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.The South Florida Council (SFC), Boy Scouts of America was granted a charter by the National Council, Boy Scouts of America in 1919. The council service area covers Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties.The responsibility of the local council is to provide program support for Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops,Venturing Crews and Explorer Posts. Currently, South Florida Council serves 112 youth in Monroe County. The SFC owns and operates three camp properties: Camp Elmore, a 117-acre weekend camping facility in Davie, Florida, Camp Sawyer, a 10-acre aquatics camp located on Scout Key, FL and Camp Everglades,a 120-acre low impact camping facility in Everglades National Park. The Scouting values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills and citizenship skills that influence _ their adult lives. The funding request directly supports the operations of BSA programs in Monroe County. Scouting prepares young people to make ethical and moral choices over their U) lifetime by instilling the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. They also prepare for lifelong learning, careers, and leadership through the programs and mentorship from fantastic adults. The District Executive is the dedicated person to support all the volunteers and units in Monroe County. A District Executive is also charged with program expansion through the formation of N new Scouting groups via community partnerships. The target population for Scouting program zl, includes boys and girls from Kindergarten through age 20. The Buccaneer District serves only M Monroe County in the State of Florida. Every young person in this age range is invited and eligible to join. Our programs include age-specific programs for boys and girls, including Cub Scouts (Grades K-5),Scouts BSA(Grades 6-12), Venturing(Grades 9-12), and Exploring(Grades 0 6 -12). Scouts BSA is the more traditional program of camping, rank advancement and merit badges.Venturing is a co-ed, high adventure program. Exploring is a career education focus like Monroe County Sheriff or Key West Police. ii gam W c� One of the greatest obstacles in bringing Scouting & Exploring to low income communities is the youth and family's ability to pay for the programs of Scouting. Busy work schedules, economic hardships, and lack of understanding of Scouting make it difficult to sustain a consistent program for economically challenged youth and families. To address these challenges, an investment from the Monroe County Sheriff's office would enable the South Florida Council to provide the character development programs of Scouting & Exploring to the at-risk youth of Monroe County by providing: ■ Weekly programs for targeted youth ■ Monthly outdoor activities that teach character development and life skills ■ An annual summer camp experience for youth and families ■ Basic leader training for Scout parents to assist in program delivery and activities Packet Pg. 1978 M.1.v ■ Positive working relationships with other sponsoring community-based organizations I= Research on our program participants indicates that children who participate in Scouting & Exploring develop their mental and physical fitness skills, do better in school, have a higher sense of self-esteem, and have more clearly defined values and goals than children who do not participate. A recent study conducted by Harris Interactive* revealed that young men with strong Scouting backgrounds maintain higher ethical standards, attain higher educational levels, and show less anti-social behavior than those with no Scouting background. Here are some of the findings from the Harris Interactive Study. Young men are: ■ More likely than girls to drop out of school ■ Less likely to enter or graduate from college _ ■ More likely to have low self-esteem, and ■ More likely to be diagnosed with learning disabilities U) * Girls have only been a part of the program for less than 2 years, so we have no results from current studies regarding girls. It is estimated that girls will by far exceed the advantages that young men do. CN One Organization Works to Give Young Peo le a Brighter Future The Boy Scouts of America provides girls and boys with programs and activities that allow them to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards. Scouting programs build boys and girls mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. The skills they learn in Scouting help them overcome obstacles and challenges with courage and 0 character throughout their lives. Results indicate that Scouts& Explorers with at least five years' tenure are more likely than youth who have not been Scouts to: ■ Resist peer pressure to take art in delincluent or dishonest activities ■ Stay away from drugs V_ ■ Assume leadership roles in clubs or school organizations CN ■ Put the needs of others before their own ■ Have higher self-confidence ■ Be active in a variety of after-school activities Scouting & Exploring Teach Life Skills Scouting also provides youth with skills that help them cope with any situation. Youth say Scouting has taught them to: ■ Always give their best effort ■ Always be honest ■ Treat others with respect ■ Set goals ■ Stay physically fit ■ Take care of the environment Packet Pg. 1979 M.1.v Scoutin Ex-lorin and Academic Performance Scouts agree that Scouting activities have helped them improve their performance in science, reading and math. Scouts are also more likely than other boys to: ■ Graduate from high school (91%versus 87%) ■ Graduate from college (35%versus 19%) ■ Earn higher annual household incomes ($80,000 versus $61,000) ■ Value family relationships highly (81 % versus 72%) ■ Have lifelong friendships (89%versus 74%) ■ Attend religious services (87% versus 77%) ■ Believe helping others should come before one's own self-interest (92%versus 83%) The Harris Interactive findings show that the programs of Scouting are proven and effective. The values taught in Scouting are interwoven with the methods of Scouting. These values have the power to turn struggle into courage; self-doubt into self-esteem; indecision into leadership; and most importantly...turning a child into a productive citizen. U) Operation ScoutReach is an important project for the communities of Monroe County because it addresses several issues, including: SI„,IBS""'I"'°AW.''w1: ABUSE — Substance abuse prevention programs of Scouting include "Drugs: A Deadly Game. This is an award-winning publication to educate young people concerning the Q harmful effects of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. All Scouting handbooks contain important information regarding drug education. . iulll" IIIIIII IIIII"'L�i'lllLt',I" I"—The Scouting program offers over 120 merit badge activities that provide youth with "hands-on" experience in career related fields that will assist them in choosing a 4- profession. I EI"EERARR — Scouting literature is written to be age-appropriate and grade-specific to help youth develop their reading skills. Scouts practice their reading skills as they advance in rank through Scouting. 0 POVE111 Y—Scouting teaches leadership, values, and work ethics, showing youth how to earn their way. These skills, along with vocational education and academic skills, prepare youth to be productive members of society. C1111U ABUSE — The BSA has produced national award-winning programs to help youth and adults in the detection and prevention of child abuse. All youth and adults are required to complete this program upon joining Scouting. 1)1,IESIIfCAE IF1""I""NESS — A key component to the Scout Oath is "...to keep myself physically strong..." Scouting offers numerous activities that strive to educate youth about the importance of staying healthy through proper nutrition and exercise. R011 MODEIIILS —Adult leaders are recruited and trained to provide guidance and direction in the lives of young people. Scout leaders help to shape the lives of young people throughout our community. There are currently over 3,000 adult leaders participating as volunteers in the South Florida Council.

They also had 3 Fire Explorers use their life-saving skills to save 3 lives. As you can see, all these factors are important to the healthy development of the participating youth, but also strengthen the family unit and community as well. tl WMIItl1 rYtl rr.r ' p i n nn R R Our outreach programs are designed to serve hard to reach, economically challenged, and at- risk youth in our community. SFC has targeted Monroe County's most challenging neighborhoods including Bahama Village in Key West, Stock Island, Marathon, Big Pine Key and Key Largo.

E c� Participation in Scouting is proven to effective in building youth of strong character. South Florida Council (SFC) has an annual operating budget of over $2 million. Below is a list of foundations that support the ScoutReach efforts of the Council annually. Currently, SFC has over 3,000 Scouts participating in Scouting because of Operation ScoutReach. SFC is committed to making sure every youth has the opportunity to participate in the character development programs of Scouting, regardless of their circumstances, which is why SFC supplements the ScoutReach program from its annual Friends of Scouting campaign when the needed revenues cannot be raised through the Foundation and Grants campaign. While a maximum grant of $10,000 would not cover all the ScoutReach expenditures in Monroe County, it would go a long way to supplement the ScoutReach Packet Pg. 1981 M.1.v efforts in the Florida Keys and free up the needed revenue to build stronger programs, recruit more youth and build stronger communities.

One of our strengths of Scouting is our ability to collaborate with organizations that share our mission of teaching values to young people and partner with them in delivering the Scouting program. The program staff and volunteers will work to establish independent and sustainable program at each location. Once this is achieved, in one of the identified areas,the Program Specialist will refocus their efforts on the next at-risk community, while continuing to monitor and serve as a resource to the first assigned area. This will allow the Scoutreach program to impact the greatest number of youth and provide a successful Scouting program.

The program provides information and education in the areas of contraception, abstinence, resisting sexual coercion, and HIV & sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk reduction. In addition to information and education, Womankind provides direct 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) This year, in partnership with the AHEC school clinics, a referral system gives sudents in the Monroe County School access to low cost lab testing and ultrasounds at Womankind. Providing these services for teens makes our community safer and healthier now and in the future. Womankind has a long-standing reputation among our teens as a trusted and credible source of information and quality healthcare,with an emphasis on wellness and prevention. The consistent numbers of teens utilizing our services demonstrates our continued success. Thanks to the Sheriffs Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund support, Womankind is embarking on our 22nd year of providing education and health care to teens. We have a long history of partnership with the Sheriffs Department and look forward to continuing the collaboration to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in Monroe County and to make affordable,needed medical testing. THE APPLICATION LL 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 U) become active participants in their own health care; lower teen pregnancy and birth rates; reduce the incidence and transmission of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections; increase early detection and treatment of breast and cervical cancer;and improve pregnancy outcomes. With the support of the SAFF, we have been improving the health of .,,�„ teens in our communities by focusing on pregnancy and STI prevention in this vulnerable population. Goals,Objectives and Outcomes iWOMANK a Maintain the low rate, and strive to lower the rate of At a time of life when E pregnancy and birth to teens.

Our professional staff educates in the and direct medical care. areas of contraception, abstinence, resisting sexual coercion, and HIV & STI risk reduction. In addition to information and education, Womankind provides actual medical services, including gentle annual gynecological exams, clinical breast exams, testing and treatment for STIs, birth control, including highly effective long-acting methods like IUDs &Nexplanons, and indicated pap tests to teens. We aim to increase accessibility to and utilization of affordable healthcare and health education for all teens, particularly those who experience barriers to healthcare through language or economics. Our collaborative agreement with the AHEC School Clinics, through a grant from the Heath Foundation of South Florida, provides lab testing and ultrasounds to Monroe County students at a drastically reduced cost. Background and Significance Womankind utilizes a board certified gynecologist and two nurse practitioners to deliver cost-effective healthcare services.This model of healthcare emphasizes patient education,wellness,and empowerment. This year a new Medical Director joined the Womankind team as Dr.Ann Mitzner took the helm from our beloved and retiring Dr. Kris Kennedy. Since 2001, Womankind has been a leader in women's healthcare and education in our community and for the past 10 years has included men among our patients. Currently, our male clients(both teens and adults)comprise just below 5% of our patients. In 2022 Womankind patients included 298 teens (ages 13-19) seen during 646 visits. Teens from 13-19 comprise 11% of our patient population Last year teens had 300 urine pregnancy tests and 284 chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV tests administered. 3 Womankind Packet Pg. 1994 M.1.x 141O Cll �S "'h L Ih Ike`N 111RJ GVA,N V The most recent Florida Youth Risk Behavior Survey (2019-the new report is being released late Spring 2023) revealed that 36.6% of Florida public high school students have had sexual intercourse and 25.9% were currently sexually active within the three months prior to the survey date. Among those who engaged in sexual intercourse in the preceding three months, 14.7% used no form of birth control and 41.5% did not use a condom (with or without other forms of birth control.) Only 6.4% of teens in the study used both condoms and another form of hormonal birth control. (Womankind strongly advises all teens using hormonal birth control to also use a condom during every sexual encounter.

STATE IE * VSThis data is in stark contrast to Womankind's teen patients, of '(Sn WOMMKIND TEEN PATUENTSwhom 84.1% used birth control during that period (some Q c^� 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 teen patients far exceed this goal with 16.1% o utilizing one of the high performing options.

In 2022, three pregnant teen patients came to their first appointment only to learn they were already pregnant. Two others were non-compliant in their care. In 2020 there were 19 births to mothers between the ages of 13 and 19 in Monroe County, a rate of 9.2 per 1,000 versus the Florida state rate of 10.8 per 1,000. (Monroe County performs better than 57 of 67 counties in Florida.) The teen birth rate has declined on a continuous trend over the past 20 years from it's highest point in 2000. Monroe County is consistently lower than State averages. Though these lower incidence rates are a positive statistic, the goal is to further reduce Monroe County's teen birth rate, with an emphasized focus on the critical subset of repeat births to teen mothers. In 2021 there were no repeat births to teen mothers in Monroe County. An article in the June 2019 Guttmacher Polic ,Review addresses the myth that access to sexual education, information, and birth control increase promiscuity in teens. In fact, the report states that both the Guttmacher Institute and the Centers for Disease Control find that during the past 30 years the number of teen pregnancies has dramatically fallen during a period in which sexual education and access to birth control has increased. Within that same 30- year period the number of teens who are having sex remained steady- with a slight but statistically significant decline. Sexual activity has not increased because of access to birth control, but the teen pregnancy rate has drastically declined. 4 Womankind Packet Pg. 1995 M.1.x Teen childbearing is associated with negative ............... consequences for the adolescent parents, their Providingadolescents with sexual and reproductive health services and information does not increase their sexual activity or pregnancy rate children and society.

Additionally, clinical staff around the country were shifted from STI testing to focus primarily on covid testing and vaccine administration. The resurgence of chlamydia shows that the infection did not disappear,testing for it decreased. In 2022, Womankind performed 207 chlamydia tests (8.7% positive.)In 2021 140 tests were performed(10.7%positive diagnosis)and in 2020 only 63 chlamydia tests were administered to teens. (3.2%positive). It is impossible to discern the unknown number of undiagnosed cases during the past few years,but the matter is pressing. [Undiagnosed STIs are highly dangerous and are estimated to cause 20,000 cases of pelvic inflammatory disease a year,which can cause chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy,or infertility.] Chlamydia can also increase susceptibility to the transmission of HIV„ 5 Womankind Packet Pg. 1996 M.1.x Target Population All Monroe County teens are included in Womankind's target population. As a partner of 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. The Monroe County Health Department contracts with Womankind for $70,000 each year to supplement a program that costs an average of$180,000 a year to administer. This grant does not cover any gynecological services and auxiliary funding is utilized for female health clients not requiring family planning care. 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 resides 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 screenings. Other teens come to Womankind via word of mouth through friends,health fairs,community and faith-based organizations. Womankind has partnered with AHEC School Health Clinics to establish direct access to advanced testing for Monroe County students. AHEC nurse practitioners will identify uninsured/underinsured students who are in need of lab testing or ultrasounds. A referral is sent to Womankind's referral specialist who then contacts the student's parent to arrange for a visit at Womankind. Labs are oftentimes performed at cost and ultrasounds have been free or greatly reduced to as low as $25. Lab and radiology results are received at Womankind and returned to the ordering AHEC NP for review and care planning. If advanced care is required, Womankind's medical director is scheduled to see the patient at the Womankind clinic. Special accommodation is taken to meet all financial need. Services,medication,and contraception at Womankind are either free or greatly reduced for teens depending on , the individual financial and confidentiality situation.Most pay nothing for visits and birth control.This includes long acting contraceptive methods like IUDs which provide up to seven years of protection but can cost$1,200+ U) at a private gynecologist's office.Most teens opt for oral contraceptive pills or depo-provera shots which elsewhere can cost$240-$750/year based on the method,but are free at Womankind. No teen is turned away based on an inability to pay. N Approach Method Teens receive STI testing, risk-reduction education, gentle exams, clinical breast exams, contraception, abstinence a 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 six bilingual staff members to translate for those who speak Spanish, including our referral specialist, our check o out/pharmacy agent, a medical biller, two medical assistants, and our office manager. Our front desk receptionist speaks Haitian Creole and Spanish and is a tremendous resource when working with patients and parents of patients who have limited English proficiency. There is always 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 healthy lifestyle choices. We offer teen-friendly exams and testing devices, such as a urine test for gonorrhea and chlamydia, as an invasive pelvic exam(the other means of collection) can scare teens away from obtaining the tests < that they need. Womankind maintains a close relationship with the school nurses at the middle and high schools, the nurse practitioners who work at the AHEC clinics, and the medical and administrative staff at the Monroe County Health Department. This team approach to teen health facilitates locating and communicating with teens during times of non-compliance or urgent medical needs. It is an honor to work alongside these agencies that devote tremendous concern and resources to our teen population. Womankin Packet Pg. 1997 M.1.x Resources and Costs Direct medical services to teens are projected to cost $135,000 in fiscal year 2022. This includes lab costs for STD testing at the State Health Department lab in Miami. These funds are budgeted to be generated from the following sources: Funding Source Amount Expected Sheriffs Asset Forfeiture Fund(SAFF) $10,000 Monroe County Health Department(MCHD) $30,000 (full contract is$70K but covers women up to the age of26) Contributions/Benefits/Events $25,000 Office Visits by full-fee and insured adults $30,000 Birth control sales $20,000 Other grant funding $20,000 I $135,000 LL Budget for the 2022SAFF Grant 0 LL Income 2019 SAFF grant for Womankind Teen Services Program $10,000 < Expenses Existing Staffing for Teen Services, Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners @ $55/hour $10,000 c� Clinic Manager @$30/hour Medical office assistants @$22-$24/hour Lab costs for STD testing @$15/teen patient Clinical staff is estimated to use 15%of their time for teen services. E Rate of hourly pay for staff depends on the level of experience, education and length of time with the agency M U We are requesting $10,000 from the SAFF to help meet the cost of staffing medical services for teens. Funds received through the SAFF will not be utilized for other programs, but will be used to meet the needs of Womankind's Teen a Services Program not adequately met by other funding sources. Our long-standing contract with the MCHD provides many resources for the Teen Services Program including: clinical supplies; pregnancy test kits; oral, injectable, and long-acting birth control methods; and lab testing for HIV. The balance of the funding, including funding for teen chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis testing will be provided through resources stated above. SAFF support has been instrumental to Womankind's ability to deliver services to teens since our inception. With SAFF support, we have been able to effectively reduce and keep low teen birth rates and sexually transmitted infections in Monroe County. We thank you for your past support and look forward to continuing our important partnership. 7 Womankind Packet Pg. 1998 M.1.x ManancilJl Statement income from.the S FF grant in the 2021.-.2012i year. $7063.35.

Who: Anchors Aweigh Club Inc. is applying for this grant from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund to assist with meeting expenses which allow Anchors Aweigh, a member owned 3,500 square recovery club in Key West,Florida to continue providing a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment for both indoor and outdoor 12 step meetings for anyone suffering from additional or working to maintain their sobriety to attend. We serve anyone suffering from addiction or working to maintain their sobriety. What: Anchors Aweigh consists of a 3,500, plus square foot building and includes an outside garden area that provides space for over fifty (50) 12 step meetings weekly. The Anchors Aweigh Club has been the primary gathering place where residents of the lower Florida Keys and visitors have turned for help, support, and safety since its inception almost 39 years ago. Where: The Sheriff's Shared Asset Forfeiture grant funds will be used at the Anchors Aweigh Club, Inc.'s clubhouse located at 404 Virginia Street in the heart of old town in Key West,Florida; in Monroe County. Why: Over the last several years and especially since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, we witnessed a rising number of deaths, and overdose from drugs and alcohol. We have also witnessed an increase in the number of arrests for crimes related to drugs and alcohol. The increase in the number of individuals consuming drugs and increase in alcohol and drug and alcohol related crimes are pressing concerns facing society today. Statistical data shows that the number,type, and severity of crimes committed are dramatically impacted by alcohol and drug use and that alcohol and crime have a closely interconnected relationship,with alcohol abuse being a contributing factor to many crimes and many crimes being a contributing factor to alcohol abuse. Alcohol and drug abuse increases the likelihood that individuals will commit certain crimes such as assault or homicide either by reducing their inhibitions or judgment or by increasing their agitation and anger. Anchors Aweigh Club, Inc. is the only facility in this region with the capacity and sole purpose to address drug and alcohol abuse through meetings, education, and a strong support system in a sober environment. We help those who seek help to achieve or maintain their sobriety can regain control of their lives, avoid involvement in criminal activity, and become and remain productive citizens in the community. It provides an essential service within Monroe County, assisting people to achieve or maintain their sobriety which also reduces and prevents crime stemming from or involving drugs and alcohol.

When: In 1983 Anchors Aweigh Club,Inc. opened its doors. In July of 2003 Anchors Aweigh was bought by the membership and became a 501(3)C nonprofit corporation.

Introduction Anchors Aweigh is the only facility of this size, in this region with capacity to facilitate multiple 12 Step Recovery meetings: a minimum of seven(7)meetings daily, and over fifty 12 Step Recovery meetings per week. These meetings are offered on a 365 day a year basis from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm and address drug and alcohol abuse through a network of support,prevention, and treatment. It provides a strong support system so those who have turned for help have the opportunity to regain control of their lives, or maintain their sobriety helps individuals avoid involvement in criminal activity and to become, and remain productive citizens in Monroe County. The organization's annual member survey was disrupted due to Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting circumstances. We utilized the results of the most recent attendance survey completed in 2019 to explain to demonstrate the organization's capacity. Of the 111 guests who took the survey in March 2019, 0 LL 16%earned between$11,000—$25,000 per year. 0 U) 16%earned between$26,000 - $35,000 per year. U) 6%earned between$36,000 - $40,000 per year; and 48% earned$40,000 or more per year. N 14%earned less than$10,000 per year and were below the federal poverty level, as were the 16%who earned between$11,000 - $25,000 per year and 10% of those earning between $26,000 - $35,000 were also below poverty level due to their household size. The members of Anchors Aweigh Club,Inc. are anonymous;however,based upon the U) results of this survey,we know that of the 117 guests who were polled,40% are earning wages either at,or below the federal poverty level. B. Goals,Objectives, and Outcomes To continue to provide a safe, clean, drug and alcohol-free environment for meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous,Al-Anon,Narcotics Anonymous, and other 12-step groups as approved by the Board of Directors, and to provide space for education,rehabilitation and social activities that will foster the interest of members in the groups. The last several years we have experienced many challenges and most recently at the closure of 2022, one of our dedicated and loyal employees passed away suddenly due to illness. As we continue to grieve,we know soon we must also start the process of finding another employee to join our team to assist with the operation of the concession counter. Despite our difficulties throughout,we have a lot to be grateful for. Our staff,the Board,volunteers, and members continue to work together as a team to create a safe environment so many groups and members attend in person meetings. Our fundraising Page 5 of 9 Packet Pg. 2005 Monroe County Sheriff's Office Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund 2023 Grant Application committee is actively working with our staff, Board,volunteers, and members to generate new ideas for fundraising efforts. We remain dedicated to diligent maintenance of the facility and improvements which include renovation of the meeting rooms,concession counter and outdoor garden area. Our commitment to customer service excellence: We greet all who enter with a smile and brew fresh coffee throughout the day and evening. Concession counter staff is often the first point of contact when guests walk through the front door, especially for the first time. We train them to welcome and assist all guests and members, and especially on how to supply information such as meeting schedules and a list of helpful resources to new guests walking into the clubhouse doors for the first-time seeking assistance. Despite the rising costs of goods, insurance,products, supplies, services Anchors Aweigh remains committed to keeping the price of the concession counter beverages, especially coffee, as well as food, affordable to all guests. This conscious decision to keep concession counter prices affordable results in a projected concession counter loss each year, for which we plan to make up for this loss through fundraising events and grant funds. In 2022 our LL 0 fundraisers were done on a smaller, scaled down version. We are grateful that we can hold our fundraising events again,however,there is a significant difference between the amounts U) raised from our fundraising events prior to Covid. For example,the Anonymous Angels Silent Auction that we typically do in November, during our best year,we raised over $17,000, and in 2021 during the scaled down version,we raised less than $7,000, a 41% difference. This is another reason the funding from our members and community support through grants such as the Monroe County Sheriffs Shared Asset Forfeiture Q. Fund grant has been vital to our continued operation. The goal is the continued operation of this essential service,for Anchors Aweigh to continue to provide a safe, drug and alcohol free environment for meetings to assist people in achieving or maintaining their sobriety. 0 c� The Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund Grant will be used for the direct payment of General Liability, Director's and Officer's Liability, and Wind insurance policy premiums. Awarded funds will assist Anchors Aweigh Club, Inc. with the continued operation of the 3,500+ square foot Clubhouse and Garden space which serves to provide safe and anonymous recovery meetings 365 days a year. The Anchors Aweigh Clubhouse provides space for special events and activities throughout the year. These events and activities help foster and maintain the recovery of our members and visitors. C. Background and Significance Anchors Aweigh Club, Inc. is the only 12 Step Recovery Clubhouse in the Lower Keys consisting of a 3,500 +square foot building and garden space that provide for safe and anonymous 12 Step Recovery meetings on a 365 day a year basis from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm.

Based upon the results of the March 2019 attendance survey,we estimate that we will LL continue to provide services in FY2023 to individuals, of which 40%plus will earn wages either at, or below the federal poverty level. This demonstrates that we serve our communities' most vulnerable U) populations. Anchors Aweigh also provides space for education,rehabilitation and social activities that will foster the interest of members in groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous,Narcotics Anonymous Al-Anon,Adult Children of Alcoholics, Overeater's Anonymous, and other 12- step groups as approved by the Board of Directors. Anchors Aweigh members are anonymous;however, a description of a few groups that have been attending meetings at T Anchors Aweigh for almost 39 years and will provide additional insight as to the types of support meetings we provide and the population we serve. 0 ➢ Alcoholics Anonymous In 1935 Bill Wilson and Doctor Bob Smith started Alcoholics Anonymous, also called AA which has become one of the most well-known treatments approached to recovering from alcohol abuse. AA is a global, community-based fellowship of individuals to help those struggling with problematic drinking get sober with the support of their peers through daily meetings and discussions surrounding addiction. The meetings are free and open to anyone, with the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. Those attending AA make a commitment to join either voluntarily, as a continuation of therapy or via court- mandated rehabilitation. ➢ Narcotics Anonymous is an anonymous group with the vision that every addict in the world has the chance to experience our message in his or her own language and culture and find the opportunity for a new way of life. ➢ Al Anon, is comprised of members do not give direction or advice to other members. Instead, they share their experiences and stories, and invite other members to "take what they like and leave the rest". Page 7 of 9 Packet Pg. 2007 Monroe County Sheriffs office Shared Asset Forfeiture Fund 2023 Grant Application ➢ Adult Children of Alcoholics is an anonymous Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition program of women and men who grew up in alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional homes. ➢ Overeaters Anonymous offers a program of recovery from compulsive eating using the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous.

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 support or family in their lives. Law Enforcement and Probation Services often request assistance for this structured housing,food, and other services to improve a client's chances at avoiding further interaction with the law enforcement community. Housing scarcity and skyrocketing costs have further exacerbated the ability to become housed and remain housed. WHAT: Independence Cay provides transitional housing for 18 men committed to a sober lifestyle and getting back on their feet through work and improved health.The soup kitchen,seven days a week, provides a hot, nutritious meal(more than 14,000 in 2022). Showers, laundry,and help accessing additional services are provided. WHERE:1669 Overseas Hwy, Marathon and includes transitional housing, soup kitchen and day services. WHY:Assisting the homeless increases the chances of stabilizing their lives and becoming more desirable and productive members of the community.The encouragement and support for working and o developing healthy habits benefit the individual but also the community.Successful supports lead to fewer incarcerations,fewer crimes, less emergency room visits, improved health, less drug and alcohol U) abuse, etc.The community can't afford to write homeless individuals off when there is the 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. N zl HOW: Each prospective participant in the transitional housing program is interviewed to ascertain their commitment to remain sober, obtain work, re-establish work related documents and healthy U 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 14menwho are currentlmy in transitional housine came to Inde endence.Ca+ chronically homeless and without C, gm to ment.All 14 are working full—time and re arin to move into more ind,eoendent housing Many had alcohol and/or drug abuse issues but are now sober and receiving additional substance abuse LO support.Several also came with untreated mental illness and now receive continuing,effective care through the Guidance Care Center.Several also came with legal issues-now resolved. Have you been to Home Depot,The Steak House, Publix,IHOP,etc.?These men successfully working there were all chronically homeless and now receiving services through Independence Cay! 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 engage clients to develop a collaborative, helpful relationship. Needs are assessed during the day program and case management is implemented to resolve obstacles that are impeding self-sufficiency.35-40 individuals come to the sou kitchenda sces ever da HOW MUCH: Independence Cay respectfully requests$7,000 and addresses the Sheriffs Dept. priorities of crime prevention,drug and alcohol abuse and prevention, and mental and physical health of adults. All grant money is used to provide direct services of housing,food,and case management. Packet Pg. 2013 M.1.z 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 35-40 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 Sheriffs 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 o 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 U) 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. Goals U c, 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, CL budgeting, and saving monies for more permanent housing, improving their health and re-establishing E productive relationships with family and the community. 59 men have utilized the transitionalIThousin LO cN in 2022. The goal is to provide nutritious, hot meals seven days a week with a high standard of nutrition and to never turn anyone away for this meal.This means serving 35-40 people each day with supervision to ensure safety and supervision to assess additional needs and assist to access resources.(more than 14,000 meals_in 2022 The goal is to provide access to personal hygiene for the homeless in the Keys.This is done by offering hygiene services seven days a week. (4380 in 2022j 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. 2014 M.1.z 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 reduce crime and law enforcement interventions, reduce drug and alcohol use,and improve 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.Housing scarcity and its high cost as well as inflation have made a huge impact.The hardest hit residents are those with fewer skills,and more instability in their jobs.They were hired last and are then the first to experience disruption.What was already a crisis in housing in the Keys has become exacerbated when tenuously housed individuals have work income that no longer meets their increased rent.Long-term rental housing has been converted into vacation rentals and the remaining rental stock has increased in cost. 0 Petty crime, panhandling and vagrancy are often the result of homelessness. Being released from jail into homelessness leads to a high re-offending rate and being on probation while homeless often leads U) to 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 sheriff's department as well as the community.This specialized Q 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,shoplifting,or being U dirty on the street. CL Target Population Our target population is men,women and children who have been displaced from their permanent LO 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. 2015 M.1.z 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 U) 0 Referring to appropriate services and encouraging and providing substance abuse support groups U) 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 N "certification of need"especially since we are partially funded by taxpayers. Because of that,we have levels of certification for different programs starting with "easy"for people who are hungry and want a 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 CL 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 LO 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. 2016 M.1.z This grant will assist in keeping 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 now.We recognize that mental health can be very fragile and people receiving community support fare better overall.Also, it is no easy feat to continue to provide 14,000 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$140,000 but we still need help. Our local Marathon city government eliminated grants to non-profits in 2018 and currently has no plans to reestablish them.This represents a loss of$9,800(2017 grant award amount).This SAFF grant will not only 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 can develop and maintain quality services through its extensive volunteer services,food donations,and material 0 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 U) 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.

N c� Packet Pg. 2025 M.1.aa 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 with the assistance of approximately 200 volunteers.These volunteers are directed by the Executive Director and provide everything from sweeping the floor to office work to fundraising. Because of this extensive volunteer support, KAIR can focus its donated dollars on 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 0 children,the elderly,and the disabled.With the increase in inflation and the large increases in housing costs, more families are coming to KAIR for assistance. U) Goal—To provide for local families basic needs that will assist them to maintain tenure and stability in the community and continue to live and work successfully in the Keys.This goal is especially relevant with the effects of scarce and expensive housing for families and for the large increases in inflation. cN a. Through assistance with rent,security deposits,and utilities and to find suitable housing.Also, through financial assistance to move to more affordable housing by providing a security deposit. b. Through trained case management staff and the development of a more sustainable budget and plan to remain in the community. CN c. Through the provision of groceries and other basic needs such as medical assistance, transportation assistance,and school supplies. c� Outcomes of the above goals— Stabilization of family and individual circumstances Improved mental and physical health Improved quality of children's lives Background and Significance The Keys for several years have been facing a crisis in the scarcity of housing,the high cost of living,and unpredictable wages in the service and fishing industries.Vacation home sales continue to rise and costs affecting rents and low-income housing are also rising.Trailers and small homes are being replaced. Traditional fishing jobs are a short season and small businesses face tough internet competition. Packet Pg. 2026 M.1.aa The fluctuation between tourist season and slow season makes it difficult for lower-income families to plan. Many families have been left behind with unpredictable wages yet rising costs for housing,food, medical, and transportation.A car repair or a medical bill leaves many families in desperate straits. KAIR is a partner with the community at large and collaborates with other groups and agencies to promote comprehensive and tailored assistance without duplicating services. KAIR is the only agency in the Middle Keys that provides groceries and other basic needs and emergency services.Alleviating desperation can be the difference between individuals turning to KAIR for assistance rather than turning 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 provide hope and practical assistance to keep people integrated into the community.The deep community support shows that they are also committed 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 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 o 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 CN have reached this point and are unable to make a change without outside assistance. Q Target PopulationCN 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 individuals,families with children and the elderly.This assistance through SAFF is critical as families struggle to provide for very basic needs. Packet Pg. 2027 M.1.aa Approach KAIR has one full-time employee and two part-time employees and interviews families and individuals at KAIR's 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 to 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 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 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 2 All $7500 requested will be used for direct vendor payments to landlords, utility companies, medical providers,school supply providers,as well as providing effective,trained case management staff. 0 Increasing inflation is greatly impacting those with lower incomes. 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 local and state governments,foundations, religious groups,and organizations as well as fundraisers and individual donations.The 2022 profit and loss statement is attached. N c� Sustainability KAIR was incorporated in 1998 in the Keys and will celebrate 25 years of service in 2022. KAIR continues to build support from Middle Keys residents who volunteer and provide financial support as well as financial resources outside of the Keys. KAIR has proven that it is a good steward of all donated monies. c� Packet Pg. 2028 M.1.aa FUNDS FROM OTHER GROUPS 2022 KEYS AREA INTERDENOMINATIONAL RESOURCES (KAIR) Monroe County $ 30,000 State (through DCF) $187,683 Episcopal Charities $ 7,500 Monroe County Sheriff $ 5,193 Hawk's Cay $ 16,600 Marathon Churches $ 16,500 Snow Family Foundation $ 5,000 Teget Foundation $ 1,500 United Way $ 20,130 Monroe County Democrats $ 500 Perry Family Foundation $13,000 KCB Fishing Club $ 1,600 - Mayberry $ 2,000 DePuzzo Foundation $ 2,000 Ron Helms $ 4,000 Price Foundation $ 60,000 N N E Packet Pg. 2029 M.1.aa KAIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2022 BOARD MEMBERS Rev.

The Marathon Recreation Center is respectfully asking the Monroe County Sheriff's Asset Forfeiture Fund for a grant of$10,000.00 The Center was established as a nonprofit 501(C) (3) in 1993 and has provided Middle Keys youth 30 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 Monroe County girls and boys.The primary goal of the Marathon Recreation Center is to offer a safe o and structured educational environment for the children of hard-working parents,especially during the dangerous after-school hours.Children in afterschool programs attend school more often,achieve U) better grades and are more likely to graduate and attend college or seek a trade. More importantly they are less likely to use drugs or alcohol.Our After-School and summer programs offers homework assistance,book clubs,computer research 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 N 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. U c� 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. U) c� 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.

Introduction. Describe the overall organization,its qualifications relevant to this request,and its capacity to manage the project. 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 year-round and offer school-aged students a positive place to engage in healthy, socially invigorating o activities. Marathon Recreation Center's programs include basketball, kickball,flag football, dodgeball and volleyball along with mentoring and self-improvement activities. U) The after-school program features homework assistance,book clubs,computer research and games along with a host of supervised activities that occur on the Center's secure property. 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 N c� three through six.Special events such as talent shows,skits,youth seminars are also hosted by the Center.Cultural and educational activities include ballet,jazz,and hip-hop dance,tumbling,aerobics and field trips to museums and zoos. U c� Volunteer professionals and community members provide valuable information as guest speakers on topics concerning safety,health,drugs and alcohol,and careers.The Center's programs successfully 0 provide members opportunities to improve their education, physical fitness and confidence to assume Leadership roles in school and their communities.The center has partnered with the Department of Juvenile Justice programs to help train our youth in leadership skills,while also providing community service projects that will help to prevent underage drinking,substance abuse and bullying. ci 0 The Marathon Recreation Center strives to reach the vulnerable youth of the community by helping U) them to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood. In many cases,these programs are life- 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, Domestic Abuse Shelter and Guidance Care Center. 4- With the financial support of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office,the Marathon Recreation Center will continue to supply these critical services to the community's at-risk and underserved young people from 8 to 18. Many of these assisted youth have gone on to become community leaders,business leaders, and positive role models themselves.Together we are building stronger communities. N U B. Goals,Objectives and Outcomes(What needs to be done).Supply documentation of the need if it is available. c� The Florida Keys is a wonderful place to raise a child, but it is also one of the costliest. Monroe County parents are hard pressed to pay for afterschool care for their children with the high cost of living and struggles with affordable and available housing. It is difficult to sustain their households and without affordable nurturing afterschool care,our youth would be at an extreme high-risk for Packet Pg. 2038 M.1.ab exposure to sexual and on-line predators,drug deals,and other crimes.A report by"Fight Crime:A Time of Risk To A Time Of Opportunity; Invest in Kids"finds that afterschool programs play a vital role in turning hours between 2 pm and 6 pm into a time of opportunity for young people.When schools are closed but many parents are still at work afterschool programs are keeping kids safe and inspiring them to learn. Marathon Rec Center helps to relieve them of the dangers and concerns through a dedicated and focused program of caring,camaraderie,structure and positive leadership. Working parents are thrilled to also have an extremely low cost alternative to leaving their children unattended or in homes by themselves during what the Department of Juvenile Justice reports as the danger zone. Having the stability of childcare will give a family tools needed to overcome obstacles that might otherwise interfere with their personal development and growth. It is known that educated people are more resilient to change economically,environmentally and personally. o We aim to create a sense of belonging and build self-confidence,while improving social skills,also providing academic support and safety while supervising activities. By inspiring learning while also U) keeping kids safe,and giving working parents' peace of mind along with affordability,kids will discover themselves and the things they love to do,which will help them to make good choices and avoid risky behaviors. This is exactly the mission of the Marathon Recreation Center.Instead of churning out law- N c� breakers,school dropouts,low-self-image children and school-aged children destined to challenging futures,the Marathon Recreation Center is here to protect and nurture them. t3 Without financial assistance from the Monroe County Sheriffs 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 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. U) 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. 4- 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 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. Packet Pg. 2039 M.1.ab 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 The streets and out of trouble after school lets out.Together the Monroe County Sheriff's 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.

The Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition (FKHSC) is celebrating 30 years of keeping families safe and healthy in Monroe County. FKHSC provides safety education and equipment to ensure children are safe and parents are supported and informed. We are the only organization providing this service for families in our community. FKHSC addresses safety issues with all interested Monroe County parents through a proven and established network of community partners, monthly playgroups, individual appointments, and outreach through the Coalition's six core programs. Funds awarded locally are leveraged to request additional support from private family foundations and donors. Our Keys to Kids Safety program saves lives and prevents devastating consequences for families and the entire community. In 2022, our program had the following impact on children's safety in Monroe County: - Our team of 19 Certified Passenger Technicians taught over 200 families how to properly install their car seats throughout the Florida Keys - Technicians found that 90% of the car seats inspected were installed incorrectly - and parents were unaware they were not following proper safety recommendations. - Additionally, for families who could not afford their own seats, FKHSC distributed over 150 reduced or o no-cost car seats making sure families had both the equipment and education necessary to keep their children safe while traveling - Our team provided families with 60 baby beds and 450 sleepsacks to keep their babies safe while U) sleeping - We also provided 800+families with over 100,000 diapers and 80,000 wipes ensuring families had the supplies necessary for childcare centers allowing them to return to work - We properly fitted and gave away over 20 baby and toddler helmets to keep riders safe - Our effective partnership with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and Key West Police Department N allows the Coalition to provide education and equipment to families out of compliance with the State's child passenger safety laws and helps to prevent criminal sanctions for these parents Safety data from the State of Florida indicates Monroe County children are at greater safety risk than most Florida children. Our area's high cost of living and the increasing poverty rate for children in our community are U significant factors when parents are faced with paying rent and feeding their families versus buying the necessary equipment to keep their children safe. Parents want to do the best they can for their children by LO providing a safe environment but need education and resources to support their efforts. Our ability to offer a car seat, bike helmet, or baby bed unburdens families and keeps children safe and healthy. 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 while in a vehicle. 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. In addition, Florida ranks first in the top ten states for bicycle c fatalities. Helmets have been shown to reduce the risk of head injury by 85% to protect children from o preventable injuries and deaths. Many parents are still unsure about safe sleep practices and often have 00 questions about bed-sharing, blankets, sleeping positions, and cribs. Our safe sleep component of Keys to Kids Safety provides parents with the appropriate education, information, and equipment to ensure babies in the Keys are protected from dangers like choking, suffocation, and sudden infant death syndrome. FKHSC is requesting the maximum amount allowed through the application process of$10,000 to complete funding coverage of our program across the Keys and allow us to pursue our goal for every child in Monroe County to have the necessary equipment and education 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, the Ocean Reef Community Foundation, and two private family foundations. FKHSC 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. 2047 M.1.ac Application: Florida Keys hlealbhy Start: f�a alition's "Ill eys to Kids Safety's (pages 4 through 9) A. Introduction. Desc;iribe t1he overall organization, its qualiflcatioirii relevant to this request, aiu d its capacity to rnariage the project. The Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition (The Coalition, FKHSC) unites people and resources to improve the health and well-being of pregnant women, children, and their families in Monroe County. The Coalition's six core programs ensure pregnant women and children receive necessary supportive services without regard to their ability to pay: cost should not be a barrier to the safety, health, and well-being of children. FKHSC is celebrating 30 years of serving Keys families. Our demonstrated success makes us the most qualified organization to serve pregnant women and their familes in the Keys. Our Keys to Kids Safety program launched in 2007 and has changed the landscape of safety for families over the past 16 years. The Coalition serves over three-fourths of the approximately 700 babies born in Monroe County each year before, during, and after pregnancy. We continue to support families until their children reach kindergarten (and often beyond) and serve thousands of children ages 0-5 annually. Pregnancy affords us a nine-month window of opportunity to build relationships with families, provide preventative and intervening services, and o break generational cycles reaching the goal of healthy and thriving families. 0 FKHSC is Monroe County's organization specifically helping families before, during, and after pregnancy. We U) do this through the following core programs: • HealtJlhy Stairt provides multilingual risk intervention services to pregnant women, children birth to three years of age, and their families through the Monroe County Health Department. Individual services are free of charge and include care coordination, assistance accessing prenatal care and transportation to N service providers, nutritional and breastfeeding education and support, and parent education. Also zl included are home visits, stress management, parenting skills, smoking cessation counseling, childbirth a education, baby-spacing information, and help accessing financial assistance for pregnancy and infant care costs. These services are vital to ensuring babies are born into our community fully developed with prepared families. U • Heallitlhiy Babies addresses the health and well-being of mom and baby during pregnancy and the first few months of life. Through subsidized prenatal medical care, supportive mental health services, transportation to vital medical appointments, childbirth and breastfeeding education, lactation counseling, and doula services we are able to ensure babies are born healthy to prepared parents. This program is proven to reduce the cost of prenatal care and birth as well as improve birth outcomes and reduce incidences of PMAD challenges after babies are born. • Keys to Kids Safety helps parents and caregivers to provide a safe environment to raise their children through the provision of education, support, and safety supplies. We address vehicle and bike safety, safe sleep practices, home environment support, and poison prevention. We conduct safety events with car seat inspection and installation, provide education to community members and, in some cases, o provide low-cost or no-cost car seats bicycle helmets cribs, and other necessary safety equipment to parents, re iiirti0r iio caregivers, and agency ersonnel. Our team empowers and educates underserved populations to keep their children safe. This holistic approach fosters a developing child's sense of safety and security, improving their � physical and mental well-being. education Keys to Growing Kids facilitates family health and Ke workshops, early childhood developmental playgroups, and parent support groups. Our Tot Times focus on developing fine motor skills and cover themes like nutrition, music, and art. Our staff read stories, sing songs, and paint pictures alongside children and their parents. Each Tot Time provides a healthy snack and nutrition education as well as referrals for families in 4 Packet Pg. 2048 M.1.ac need of food assistance/extra support. Wiggles & Giggles focuses on gross motor skill development, socialization, and family bonding through dance studios, tumble mats, exercise balls, trampolines, musical instruments, and goal-oriented movement. We host several Tot Time and Wiggles & Giggles early educational playgroups each month throughout the Florida Keys. Parents and caregivers have the opportunity to meet new friends with young children, ask questions of other parents and professionals, and spend quality time with their little ones. Our groups ensure children are meeting and exceeding developmental milestones and are ready and thriving by the time they enter kindergarten. • Keys to Supporting 1:`anrrEHes addresses economic challenges and social determinants of health by providing baby supplies such as diapers, strollers, formula, baby food, clothing, and much more. With this year's national formula shortage and recalls, FKHSC has consistently covered the gap to make sure families can provide proper nutrition support for their infants. FKHSC has become the "go-to" agency for food assistance for pregnant women, infants, and young children by providing specialty formulas, breastfeeding education, and as-needed additional nutritional support. We are the only program in the county that provides families with enough diapers and wipes to meet the requirement of childcare centers, ensuring parents can continue working. Through the provision of costly yet vital baby items and supplies, our support allows families' finite resources to cover other costs and basic needs, especially housing, utilities, and food. c • Keys "To Hope provides support to parents and families who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy, baby, or child. This program is comprised of trained community liaisons, licensed mental health professionals, and families who have been through this experience and are dedicated to being U) there for other families. The Keys to Kids Safety program is highly-praised, established county-wide, and the only program of its kind in the Keys. FKHSC launched Keys to Kids Safety in 2007 when we discovered there was nowhere else to get car seats checked or installed in the Keys. In order to address this critically important need, we've spent the N past 16 years recruiting and coordinating a team of thoroughly trained and nationally certified volunteer technicians (including sheriff's deputies, police officers, fire rescue personnel, hospital staff, and other community members)who have assisted at more than 80 FKHSC safety events. Our services include car seat installation and inspection events held throughout the County, as well as individual assistance when requested. These certified technicians provide the necessary community education for parents to safely transport their U children. As needs in our community grew, so did our services. Beyond our life-saving child passenger program, over the years we've added water and pool safety, bicycle helmets, baby beds, sleepsacks, diapers, and home environment safety to our program. SAFF funding will sustain our car seat safety program, facilitate additional requirements associated with booster seat legislation for older children, provide infant and toddler helmets, provide pack 'n' plays for safe sleep, and meet other 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 ensured the Coalition's ability to meet the needs of our entire community's children. Our program staff located in the Upper Keys, Middle Keys, and Lower Keys build o relationships with families and are able to identify and support 00 the safety needs of children inour community. Local partners N consistently refer clients to our organization as an outlet for 4i families needing additional resources and support given our established reputation in this area of service to Monroe E County. These existing partnerships and our 30-year track record position us for continued success at delivering safety ° equipment and education to children and families in the Keys. i ' .� ( �� lr �� Ili!

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. Ob'ective: Teach 300 parents proper safety techniques through our community outreach, individual referrals, and interventions to increase parental confidence and ability to protect their children; to include the provision of appropriate equipment to 100 families in the Middle and Lower Keys. 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. ObbLective: Reach 100 new families through the Keys for Kids Safety program in the Middle and Lower Keys to 0 increase accessibility of safety information and equipment for the following safety categories: vehicle, bike, safe sleep and home safety for Monroe County parents who are identified as experiencing barriers to this 0 information and equipment. U) 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. CN C. Background and Suignificaii"mce (Why tlll*iis piro,ecll1 is iimpoirtant to the c ronrnimiuinity). Over the past few years, greater economic challenges have significantly impacted the needs of Coalition clients and their ability to provide for their 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 U spending on necessary safety-related items for the protection of our most vulnerable citizens. Poverty has been identified as one of the leading risk factors contributing to unintentional incidents of injury. In the most LO recent report (2018), 42% of Monroe County households already lived below the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed)threshold. The ALICE report also states that basic essentials in the"Household Survival Budget" (Housing, Childcare, Food, Transportation, Health Care, and Taxes)were more expensive in Monroe County than anywhere else in Florida. FKHSC provides preventative services that keep children safe, fed, and meeting developmental milestones while educating and supporting their parents and families. This year we have witnessed both an increased number of clients served and an increased need. Our safety program has received an unprecedented o_ amount of requests for assistance with car seats and travel equipment. ""6° Families who could no longer afford to keep their vehicles turned to us for help with car seat and stroller combinations so they could keep theirr� g p p p children safe while using public transit. Due to unpredictable rice hikes, inflation, and essential baby item shortages, requests for support for safety equipment, diapers, and other baby essentials have quadrupled in the past 18 months. It's vital that we provide options and support for families with limited resources. FKHSC's program 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 iJ children have been found in the following dangerous situations: riding in 6 Packet Pg. 2050 M.1.ac cars without safety seats; sleeping in hazardous 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. For example, our staff provided over 100,000 diapers last year to families in need so they would not have to choose between paying rent or keeping their babies safe and out of the ER due to severe diaper rash. These situations all increase a child's likely need for medical intervention. Parents are sometimes forced to make challenging or impossible decisions based on their limited resources and understanding. FKHSC works to ensure we can provide the support and supplies necessary to prevent these avoidable challenges. 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 County'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 be long-lasting and have a far greater impact than on the child alone. 0 ILL D. Target Population (Who will@ be served slpecl'uficaUly? Age? Gender? Speciial Circumstances?) The Kids to Keys' Safety program is not limited by age or gender. FKHSC serves all Monroe County parents/caregivers, children and their families requesting services; Families receiving services typically have children ages 0-5, though often children through age 8 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. C' zl i,E^. Approach Method (II°tow willll itlhe purr eject be done' Where will; it be done?When?What staffihi g is a ) 0 The Keys to Kids Safety program is offered in conjunction with other Coalition programs through our strong U County-wide infrastructure serving Keys' families. We utilize community resources, media connections, and explore both current (MCSO, KWPD, DOH, MCSD, ELC, etc.) and new year-round partnerships to reach our broader target audience of all families with children. Parents in need of specific items, or with concerns about their child's safety, can self-refer or be referred by community partners from law enforcement, social service, and health care disciplines. SAFF funding will allow the Coalition to maintain our current program in the Middle and Lower Keys. While always known as the 'pregnancy' resource in the Keys, FKHSC's growing community presence as the go to' agency for children's safety requires increased organizational support. The Coalition has effectively 2 employed an innovative hybrid approach to volunteers and program staff integration to execute this program. L_ Our program is dependent upon partnerships with other agencies to avoid duplication of services and 00 maximize service delivery throughout Monroe County. FKHSC serves as a well- N 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 19 trained volunteers, and our FTE Certified Instructors to conduct community events as well as one-on-one scheduled appointments throughout the year. Mother, CD, wrote us a letter of support that reads:, "I received assistance from the Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition to ensure my son's new car seat was installed properly. A team member came the same day as I sent in my request, which was such a help because I was leaving the next day for a long road trip. She was dripping in sweat, but made it happen! I felt confident my son would be safe and she showed me how to check for a snug fit. Being on the receiving end of all the care, time and love the Health Start team puts into our community ° Y p Y 7 Packet Pg. 2051 M.1.ac gives me a deep sense of gratitude. From the thoughtful, personal texts checking on me to receiving clothes, a hand breast pump and so much more, Healthy Start meets a broad spectrum of needs.

The Ocean Reef Community Foundation has graciously supported this critical program in the Upper Keys. We will seek continued funding from all these organizations for the 2023 grant cycle. However, our most densely populated area of the County remains vulnerable without continued child safety funding through the SAFF. L) At one time, the State subsidized car seat costs, baby beds, and helmets; however, the Coalition must now pay the full cost for all safety equipment. SAFF funds are separate from the support sought from the County's Human Services Advisory Board for the 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.

The SAFF will be used to show local support in order to bring additional funding into our community through public and private grants. The Coalition is able to impact the culture of our $ E 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 impacts o �' J other local areas of concern such as the child welfare system, health care costs, and quality of life. The 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. � �r 8 Packet Pg. 2052 H.

These programs are designed to provide therapeutic intervention to children (3+ years old) and adults with disabilities, illnesses, and unique challenges. This multi-component program combines time in the water interacting with our family of eight bottlenose dolphins, participation in a therapeutic art activity, a picnic lunch �~ overlooking the dolphin lagoon, and visits to the open top aquariums. Groups typically spent 3- 4 hours at the facility working through the program alongside members of the IDC therapy team. Assistance is provided with each activity as needed. These programs are designed for small groups and are tailored to meet the needs, abilities, and goals of the participants. All groups are accompanied by at least one program coordinator,therapist, or other health professional. Programs are provided year-round at Island Dolphin Care. U) Application A. Introduction. IDC was founded in 1997 to serve children with special needs but has expanded to provide programs for adults and families facing challenges relating to a myriad Q of conditions—including critical, chronic, or mental illness; physical disabilities; substance abuse; PTSD; behavioral challenges; and much more. Since opening, thousands of clients cCU have found solace during their visit. The goal of our programs is to provide motivation and joy to our participants through dolphin-assisted therapy programs. These programs are centered around eight specially trained dolphins who aid our professionally trained therapy staff with customized programming for the needs of each individual or group. This is possible because the dolphins are given the special care and attention they need to keep them healthy and happy. 0) U B. Goals, Objectives and Outcomes. The objective is to reach individuals in the Monroe County community who otherwise would not financially be able to attend the program. IDC's goal is to provide specialized programs aiming to help individuals renew motivation to CU continue working on goals while providing a relaxing and stress-free experience. Combining therapeutic goals with a sense of joy is what we strive for. Bringing a group together in a fun and unique setting can often increase socialization and self-confidence. Packet Pg. 2060 0 U- U) 0) U) U) C14 Q u 0 CN E .a u Packet Pg. 2061 M.1.ad C. Background and Significance. Every single person's life has been altered in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the stresses of everyday life have grown exponentially for many, but especially those with disabilities and unique challenges. Mental wellness has become a focus across the globe, however therapeutic programs are not accessible to all. IDC strives to share its one-of-a-kind programs with more members of our community. Combining the dolphin interaction and other therapeutic activities in a peaceful space with family or peers creates an opportunity to be present in the moment, forget about everyday stress, and to find hope. D. Target Population.This project will specifically provide group programs for non-profit organizations in Monroe County that serve individuals with unique needs. For example, children in foster care, children aging out of foster care, at risk teens, children and adults with mental or physical disabilities, individuals with critical or chronic illnesses. Minimum age of three years. U' E. Approach Method. Each group therapy program will be organized and facilitated by the therapy and animal care teams at Island Dolphin Care with the help of each organization's program coordinator. Programs will vary based on the participants and their needs. All N programs take place lagoon-side on property at 150 Lorelane Place, Key Largo. Group therapy programs are most commonly scheduled on Friday afternoons, however scheduling is ultimately dependent on the availability of the group attending. U F. Resources and Costs. 0 Expenses for 2 Group Therapy Programs Dolphins and Animal Care $2,040 Food & BBQ supplies $850 , Materials & supplies $120 Cleaning& office supplies $70 Therapy Team Staff $1,950 Animal Care (training team) Staff $1,920 Program support Staff $850 TOTAL $7,800 Other Resources: Baptist Health South Florida - $50,000 (pending) G. Sustainability. As IDC continues to grow and recover following a two-year closure we look eagerly to the future with the hope that program income coupled with continued support from individual donors and organizations will allow us to continue to offer therapeutic programs to those in need in our community.

Key Largo, Florida Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Island Dolphin Care, Inc. (the o "Organization") (a nonprofit Organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021, and the related statement of activities, functional expenses, and cash U) flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Organization as of December 31, 2021, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Q Basis for Opinion U We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 2 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Organization and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 0) Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements c� Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Organization's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Packet Pg. 2066 M.1.ad Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. o U) • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit N procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. U • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall o presentation of the combined financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Organization's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,2021 NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATIONS Organization Island Dolphin Care, Inc. (the "Organization"), located in Key Largo, Florida, is a not-for-profit organization whose primary objective is to provide dolphin assisted therapy for physically and/or mentally ill children and adults. Through interactive programs, education, and research; children and adults alike, are inspired to value and respect marine mammals and their environment. Basis of Accounting and Presentation The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The Organization is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to two classes of net assets based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions on the use of the net assets. The two net asset categories are as follows: 0 Net t Assets Without Donor Restrictions T h portion of the net assets of the Organization that can be used subject to the broad limits resulting from the nature of the Organization, the environment in which it operates, and the purposes specified in its articles of U) incorporation or bylaws. In some cases, the use of these resources is also subject to limits resulting from contractual agreements with suppliers, creditors, and others entered into by the Organization in the normal course of business. The Organization has the greatest ability to choose when using these resources. Net assets without donor restrictions generally result from contributions that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions. There were $300,000 of board-designated cash as of December 31, 2021. Q Net Assets With Donor Restrictions The portions of net assets of the Organization that is subject to either donor-imposed time restrictions or donor- imposed purpose restrictions. These restrictions limit the Organization's choices when using these resources CL because the Organization has a fiduciary responsibility to its donors to follow the donors instructions.Net assets 6 with donor restrictions generally result from donor-restricted contributions. There were $12,000 net assets with donor restrictions as of December 31, 2021. (See Note 8) Revenue Recognition CN The Organization's revenue is derived primarily from grants and contributions, dolphin therapy and ; interactions, and from the Dolphin Education Program. It is the policy of the Organization to record the total grant amount at the time of award and defer the unexpended portion until earned. Government funds, if any, restricted by grantor for operating purposes are < deemed to be earned and reported as revenue when the Organization has incurred expenditures in compliance with the specific restrictions. From time to time, the Organization records deferred revenue for advances paid for future therapy and interactions and records the sale when the experience is delivered to guest. These revenues, if any, will be included in the Statement of Activities under the Dolphin Education Program. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Organization considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 7 Packet Pg. 2072 M.1.ad ISLAND DOLPHIN CARE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,2021 NOTE 1 —SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATIONS (Continued) Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable consists primarily of therapy, grants, and contributions. Inventory Inventory consists primarily of gift shop merchandise related to dolphins and food for the Organization's marine mammals. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. Donated inventory is recorded at the estimated fair value at the time of receipt.

Income Taxes a The Organization qualifies as a tax exempt not-for-profit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization is subjected to income tax on unrelated business income. 0 The Organization adopted the provisions of an accounting standard, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an organization's financial statements in accordance with existing accounting guidance on income taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. 4i This standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded as an expense in the statement of activities. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as a result of implementing this standard. The Organization is generally no longer subject to U.S. Federal examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 8 Packet Pg. 2073 M.1.ad ISLAND DOLPHIN CARE,INC.

The Board of Directors of the Organization oversees the management of the endowment funds. At December 31, 2021, the CON endowment fund consisted of $12,000 held in a savings account. The endowment fund did not generate any interest income during the year. Inter retationwof Relevant Law c� The State of Florida enacted the Florida Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act ("FUPMIFA") effective July 1, 2012, the provisions of which apply to endowment funds existing on or established after that date. The Organization has interpreted the FUPMIFA as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, when reviewing its donor-restricted endowment funds, the Foundation considers the value of a fund to be deficient if the fair value of the fund is less than the sum of (a) the original value of initial and subsequent gift amounts donated to the fund and (b) any accumulations to the fund that are required to be maintained in perpetuity in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument. The Organization has interpreted FUPMIFA to permit spending from deficient funds in accordance with the prudent measures required under the law. 10 Packet Pg. 2075 M.1.ad ISLAND DOLPHIN CARE,INC.
