The County of San Luis Obispo's Continuum of Care Builds Program aims to address and reduce homelessness by creating new Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) units. This initiative is authorized by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended by the HEARTH Act of 2009, and administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The program aligns directly with HUD's overarching mission and strategic plan for FY 2022-2026, which focuses on creating strong, sustainable, and inclusive communities with quality, affordable homes for all. The target beneficiaries of the CoC Builds program are individuals experiencing homelessness, who will be served through new Permanent Supportive Housing projects. The primary impact goal is to reduce the prevalence of homelessness by addressing both immediate shelter needs and the underlying factors contributing to homelessness. This approach is expected to lead to improved outcomes for individuals and communities by providing stable housing and supportive services. The program prioritizes several key areas, reflecting HUD's strategic goals. These include supporting underserved communities and promoting equitable community development, strengthening the "Housing First" approach to reduce and ultimately end homelessness, and ensuring access to and increasing the production of affordable housing. Furthermore, the program emphasizes advancing sustainable communities by strengthening climate resilience, energy efficiency, and environmental justice, particularly for low-income households and communities of color. It also aims to integrate health and housing policies, recognizing housing's essential role in overall well-being. The expected outcomes of the CoC Builds program include an increase in the supply of Permanent Supportive Housing, leading to a measurable reduction in the number of individuals experiencing homelessness in San Luis Obispo County. By aligning with HUD's Strategic Plan, the program seeks to achieve better health outcomes for residents, foster more equitable access to housing opportunities, and build more resilient and sustainable communities. The maximum funding available for new PSH projects is $4,750,000, with up to $1,000,000 designated for supportive services, indicating a comprehensive approach to both housing and the necessary support systems for long-term stability. The foundation's strategic priorities and theory of change are rooted in the belief that providing permanent supportive housing, coupled with comprehensive services, is the most effective way to address chronic homelessness. By fortifying support for underserved communities and implementing the Housing First approach, the program anticipates that individuals will achieve greater stability, improve their health, and integrate more fully into their communities. The program's success will be measured by the creation of new PSH units, the number of individuals successfully housed, and the long-term reduction in homelessness, all contributing to HUD's vision of quality, affordable homes for all and stronger, more inclusive communities.

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, administered by HUD and for which the County of San Luis Obispo is requesting proposals, is fundamentally designed to foster a community-wide commitment to ending homelessness. This initiative provides crucial funding to various entities including nonprofit providers, states, Indian Tribes, and local governments. Its core mission is to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, specifically addressing those fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, as well as homeless youth. A key objective is to minimize the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness, while simultaneously promoting access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs, thereby optimizing self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness. The target beneficiaries of the CoC Program are homeless individuals, families, and youth, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations such as those experiencing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The overarching impact goals include not only ending homelessness but also ensuring that rehousing efforts are swift and minimize trauma. The program aims to integrate homeless individuals and families into mainstream support systems and empower them to achieve self-sufficiency. This aligns with a broader theory of change that posits that comprehensive, community-based support and rapid rehousing are essential for breaking cycles of homelessness and fostering long-term stability. HUD's Homeless Policy Priorities, which guide the CoC Program, emphasize several key areas. These include ending homelessness for all persons, utilizing a Housing First Approach, and significantly reducing unsheltered homelessness. The program also prioritizes partnering with housing, health, and service agencies to create a more integrated support system. Furthermore, there is a strong focus on racial equity, improving assistance to LGBTQ+ individuals, incorporating the insights of persons with lived experience/expertise, building an effective workforce, and increasing the supply of affordable housing. These priorities collectively aim to create a more equitable and effective system for addressing homelessness. Expected outcomes and measurable results are linked to these priorities. For instance, increased rates of successful rehousing, reduced durations of homelessness, and improved access to and utilization of mainstream services are all anticipated. The funding information, with an Estimated ARD of $1,337,357, an Estimated Tier 1 of $1,203,621, Estimated New Bonus Projects of $121,173, and Estimated DV Bonus (New Projects) of $173,104, indicates significant financial commitment towards achieving these goals. Eligible activities that contribute to these outcomes include permanent supportive housing, supportive services (including Coordinated Entry), rapid re-housing programs, transitional housing, and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), all of which are instrumental in tracking progress and demonstrating impact.

The Montclair Foundation's grant program is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all individuals within the greater Montclair community. This mission alignment is evident in their support for organizations that serve the Montclair community and its environs. The foundation's strategic priorities are focused on addressing critical community needs through specific focus areas, aiming for a positive and measurable impact on the well-being of the community. The grant program targets beneficiaries within the Montclair community, with a particular emphasis on areas such as Mental Health and Well-Being, Food Security, and Housing. These priorities reflect the foundation's theory of change, which posits that by investing in these key sectors, they can create a more stable, healthy, and secure environment for residents. The grants aim to support initiatives that directly impact these areas, leading to improved outcomes for vulnerable populations. Expected outcomes include enhanced access to mental health services, reduced food insecurity, and improved housing stability for community members. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed for each outcome, the foundation's emphasis on funding special projects or items suggests a desire for tangible, project-specific impact. They also review applications equally each year, indicating a focus on the merit and potential impact of each proposal. The foundation offers grant awards ranging from $3,000 to $15,000, with a commitment to making 2-3 larger grants of $10,000-$15,000 each cycle. While general operations can be funded, there is a preference for special projects or items, further aligning with their goal of targeted impact. Eligibility criteria include being a 501(c)(3) organization for three or more years and serving the Montclair community. Organizations can generally apply once within a 12-month period, with an exception for fall 2024 for those meeting specific criteria in mental health, food security, or housing.

The Civil Legal Counsel Projects Program (CLCPP) is an initiative by the DC Bar Foundation aimed at supporting DC-based nonprofit legal services providers. The core mission of the CLCPP is to offer eviction prevention services to low-income and underserved residents of the District of Columbia. This aligns with the Foundation's broader strategic priorities of promoting quality, efficiency, and effectiveness in the delivery of civil legal aid. The program emphasizes organizations that have robust systems for self-assessment, continuous improvement, and the ability to identify and respond to the most pressing civil legal needs of the target population. The program primarily targets District residents with low income or who are underserved, with a specific focus on eviction prevention. Impact goals include making legal services accessible to this population, increasing access to services in underserved areas, and expanding pro bono participation. The Foundation seeks to fund organizations that can demonstrate how they will reach these beneficiaries and achieve these goals, ensuring that legal services are not only provided but also effective and responsive to community needs. This includes integrating pro bono attorneys and utilizing various channels for legal information and community education. The CLCPP prioritizes proposals that address underserved areas in the District, housing-related matters, or support a shared legal services interpreter bank. Other key focuses include expanding the number of DC residents receiving legal assistance, avoiding duplication of services, and making legal assistance more accessible. The Foundation also encourages proposals that leverage its resources strategically, avoiding services that could be supported by other funding sources, and testing innovative approaches. The grant period for these projects is from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. Expected outcomes and measurable results are a critical component of the CLCPP. Funded projects are required to measure and report their performance against stated goals in areas such as legal services delivered (volume, type, number of residents assisted), outreach and training efforts (number of efforts, attendees, materials distributed), and pro bono development (attorneys recruited, trained, firms participating). Strong proposals will demonstrate ambitious yet realistic goals and adequate capacity, as well as a high likelihood of sustainability beyond the grant period, considering potential funding sources and long-term service delivery strategies. This rigorous approach to measurement and reporting reflects the Foundation's theory of change, which posits that strategic investment in quality legal aid and capacity building will lead to a more just and equitable legal system for DC residents.

Note: Education activities and/or materials (signage, flyers, curriculum, etc.) related to the beverage container recycling project are capped at 25 percent of the total grant award. • Funding must have a direct connection to the California Redemption Value (CRV) of beverage containers and the overall program. If non-CRV items are included in the grant, they are subject to proportional cost. For example: a three-bin system with composting, paper and CRV recycling, can only be funded at one third of the cost. A mixed recycling bin will be funded proportionately based on the CRV content of materials collected. Priority funding will be given to Tribal Entities and applicants with litter abatement projects along the United States-Mexico border. Applicants who meet the criteria will be given priority and will be considered for funding first.

The DC Bar Foundation's 2025 Access to Justice (ATJ) Grants Program is designed to fund civil legal services for low-income residents and those in underserved areas of the District of Columbia. This program aligns directly with the Foundation's mission to increase access to justice, specifically by providing free civil legal services. The grant targets nonprofit legal service providers within the District of Columbia, focusing on specific categories: underserved areas, housing-related matters, and supporting a shared legal services interpreter bank. The overall goal is to address the most pressing civil legal needs of vulnerable District residents, ensuring they receive necessary legal assistance that they might otherwise be unable to access. The primary beneficiaries of the ATJ Grants Program are District residents with low income, as defined by HUD income limits, and those considered "underserved." Underserved individuals include those who lack adequate and affordable access to legal services due to factors like neighborhood, geographic area, language, culture, ethnicity, religion, or life situation. The program also specifically considers special populations such as individuals in correctional facilities, those experiencing or fleeing violence, and unhoused individuals. The impact goal is to expand the number of DC residents receiving legal assistance, enhance the accessibility of these services, and prevent duplication of services across the District. The Foundation prioritizes proposals that address underserved areas, housing-related issues, or support a shared legal services interpreter bank. Furthermore, priority is given to projects that are likely to expand the number of residents receiving legal aid, avoid service duplication, increase accessibility, and expand pro bono participation by recruiting, training, and supervising law firm attorneys. The Foundation also seeks proposals that strategically leverage DCBF resources to expand efforts by other service providers or provide services that might not be supported by other funding sources, and those that test innovative approaches to achieve these priorities. Expected outcomes and measurable results for funded projects include significant amounts of legal services delivered, measured by volume and type of services, the number of DC residents assisted, and the number of cases accepted. Projects are expected to increase access to services in underserved areas, as measured by the percentage of proposed legal services provided in areas with high concentrations of low-income or underserved residents. High goals for outreach and training are also expected, measured by the number of efforts, individuals reached, and materials distributed. Finally, projects should demonstrate increased engagement of pro bono attorneys and law firms, measured by recruitment, training, and growth in participation. Organizations applying for funding must have systems in place for quality, efficiency, and effectiveness, including self-assessment methods, and demonstrate a strong capacity for delivering the proposed services with a high likelihood of sustainability beyond the grant period.

The New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS), through its Division of Aging Services (DoAS), is offering Age-Friendly grants to local government and nonprofit entities. This program aligns with the state's mission to support the health and wellbeing of older New Jerseyans by fostering age-friendly initiatives and implementing recommendations from the New Jersey Age-Friendly Blueprint. The core mission is to strengthen communities by providing funding for organizations to assess, plan, and develop initiatives that support the health and wellbeing of older adults. The program seeks to advance efforts that lead to tangible and sustainable transformations in policies, systems, and environmental conditions across the state. The target beneficiaries of the Age-Friendly Grants Program are older adults throughout New Jersey. The program aims to improve their health, wellbeing, satisfaction, and quality of life. The impact goals are to create communities that are more livable for older adults by addressing eight age-friendly domains: outdoor spaces and buildings, transportation, housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information, and community support and health services. This comprehensive approach ensures that various aspects of an older adult's life are considered and improved. The program prioritizes initiatives that promote public, private, and cross-sector partnerships, as well as public policies that address the aforementioned eight age-friendly domains. There are two grant options: Age-Friendly Communities and Age-Friendly Projects. Community Grants focus on broader planning and development, while Project Grants may also include direct services, equipment purchase, and capital improvements. Eligible costs for both grant types include salaries and fringe benefits, strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, training, in-state travel, business meeting costs, and translation services. Expected outcomes include enhanced capacity of New Jersey communities to support older adults, with tangible and sustainable transformations in local policies, systems, and environmental conditions. Measurable results will be seen through the implementation of local age-friendly initiatives aligned with the New Jersey Age-Friendly Blueprint. For Age-Friendly Community Grants, up to 57 grants of $70,000 each will be distributed regionally (Northern, Central, Southern New Jersey), totaling $3,990,000. For Age-Friendly Project Grants, up to 10 grants of up to $100,000 each will be awarded, totaling $1,000,000. The grant period runs from December 31, 2024, to June 30, 2026. The program's theory of change is that by empowering local entities with funding and guidance, and by fostering collaborative partnerships, the state can create more supportive and inclusive environments for its aging population, leading to improved quality of life and wellbeing for older New Jerseyans.

The State Urban Forest Resilience (SUFR) Funding Grant, offered by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), aims to restore and improve urban forests in Indiana. Its core mission aligns with environmental resilience and conservation, specifically addressing the catastrophic losses caused by the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). The grant seeks to build long-term resiliency through increased tree diversity and the protection of existing healthy trees. While a specific "foundation mission" is not explicitly stated in the context, the IDNR's involvement implies a state-level commitment to environmental health and sustainable urban development. The primary target beneficiaries of this grant are municipalities and non-profit 501(c)3 organizations within Indiana. These entities, acting on behalf of their communities, will implement projects that directly impact the health and sustainability of public urban forests. The overarching impact goal is to mitigate the damage caused by the EAB, enhance the ecological integrity of urban areas, and foster community engagement in environmental stewardship. The grant is designed to support a range of activities, from tree removal and treatment to new plantings, all contributing to a more robust and diverse urban canopy. The SUFR Grant prioritizes management and reforestation activities. This includes the removal of EAB-infested or dead Ash trees, insecticidal treatments for threatened Ash trees, and comprehensive tree planting initiatives. A key focus is on replacing removed Ash trees with at least two new trees, promoting native Indiana species, and specifically restricting the planting of Acer genus (maples) to encourage greater biodiversity. Community engagement is a mandatory component of all tree planting projects, emphasizing the importance of local involvement and education in achieving sustainable outcomes. Additionally, applicants must possess an up-to-date tree inventory to demonstrate existing conditions and planned improvements. Expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in EAB impact, an increase in urban forest canopy cover, and a greater diversity of tree species in Indiana's urban areas. For every Ash tree removed, the requirement to plant at least two new trees will directly contribute to reforestation efforts. The restriction on Acer genus planting (with limited exceptions) will lead to a more varied and resilient tree population. Measurable results will stem from the required documentation, including ISA Certified Arborist reports or updated tree inventories, which detail the location and number of trees removed, treated, and planted. This data will allow for tracking the progress and effectiveness of the grant in achieving its goals. The grant's theory of change posits that by investing in strategic urban forest management, coupled with community involvement, Indiana's urban environments will become more resilient to pests and diseases, offering long-term ecological and community benefits.
