Please also <br />explain how the program aligns with the Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro's Human Services Program <br />Results Framework and/or Orange County's BOCC Goals and Priorities (250 words or less). <br />Target Population <br />The program target population demographics table is included as an <br />attachement on the application cover page. Please download the excel <br />spreadsheet and fill out the demographic data in the table and then upload it <br />with your application. Provide one copy per program that you are requesting <br />funding for. <br />Program Cost <br />This cost per individual must reflect the total program budget divided by the <br />total number of program individuals in this application. <br />The evidence-based program provides home visitation from 6 to 18 months to 15 <br />(1 Carrboro, 7 Chapel Hill, 7 Orange County) families (all populations) at high-risk <br />for child abuse and neglect. In 2021-2022, 1,000 children were reported abused <br />or neglected in Orange County which is a 21.19% increase from the previous year <br />and 95 children remain in custody (Duncan et al., 12/2023). The long-term <br />effects of COVID-19 on individual mental health and family systems have led to <br />issues increasing these numbers over the past years (Nguyen, 08/2021; & Reali <br />et al., 11/2022). In the home visit, child development and parenting education, <br />parent coaching, concrete support, life skills, and advocacy is provided for up to 2 <br />hours. The program aligns with Chapel Hill and Carrboro framework goals by <br />increasing livelihoods security by addressing poverty issues contributing to <br />neglect, ensuring a high quality of life through the absence of violence by <br />preventing abuse and family violence, improving health outcomes by increasing <br />new healthy lifestyle behaviors, promoting well-being, and increasing life skills. <br />The program aligns with Orange County goals and priorities by contributing to a <br />network of basic human services that promotes family well-being. The program <br />also improves the quality of life for individuals by treating trauma and teaching <br />resiliency to protect from future issues occurring or how to heal faster if they do <br />occur. The program contributes overall to society by helping clients make healthy <br />choices, heal from trauma, and prevent violence, poverty, substance abuse, and <br />homelessness from being generational cycles. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: A5B4FFD3-9664-4EA0-9937-6709C85D11FD
