DocuSign Envelope ID: EB294A71-C7D1-4EE4-8287-60A6149320D4 <br /> grant. IFC stepped in to fill a gap, as Housing for New Hope was no longer able to <br /> offer permanent supportive housing in Orange County. This program houses and <br /> stabilizes Orange County's residents who have been the most difficult to reach and <br /> help - many of these individuals are the people who come to mind when we think of <br /> the homeless population on Franklin or Main Streets, for example. Finally providing <br /> them with secure housing and resources also helps defray costs of other emergency <br /> interventions resulting from homelessness such as emergency room visits, law <br /> enforcement interactions, and court resources. <br /> j) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced <br /> allocation is recommended. <br /> Most of the funds for this program come from the federal government. However, due <br /> to unfunded expenses and federal match requirements, I FC relies on a combination <br /> of sources to maintain service levels. We need the support of our local government <br /> partners to sustain this program. <br /> k) What percentage of your target population is low-moderate income? <br /> 100 percent <br /> 1) What efforts do you make to seek feedback about your program from your target <br /> population (e.g. survey, evaluations, etc.?) <br /> Housing First, a best practice model, asserts that every individual and family is <br /> "housing-ready" and expert on meeting their particular housing needs. Therefore, <br /> decisions regarding services are made with, and not for, residents. The resident is <br /> the main participant in decision-making about their own life. <br /> m) Include any other pertinent information. <br /> IFC is currently operating this critical program without any local government funding. <br /> Local support is needed to fund expenses that are not currently covered under this <br /> grant, including partial salary and benefits for the case manager, supplies, and <br /> increased expenses in the coming year. <br /> DO NOT SUBMIT THIS PAGE 1123/2018 2:06:13 PM Page 2 8 of 37 <br />
