The City of Deltona is offering a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for Public Services for the 2024-2025 Federal Fiscal Program Year, with an anticipated allocation of approximately $500,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). This grant aims to implement activities that benefit low- and moderate-income families and persons within Deltona. Up to 15% of these funds are specifically designated for eligible public service activities. The City of Deltona, as the donor, aligns its mission with HUD's objectives by addressing community development needs and improving the quality of life for its residents, particularly those who are economically disadvantaged. The program emphasizes a commitment to fostering a more equitable and supportive community. The target beneficiaries for this CDBG program are income-eligible Deltona residents, specifically low- and moderate-income families and individuals. The primary impact goal is to provide essential public services that might otherwise be inaccessible, thereby improving the overall well-being and stability of these residents. By supporting services for those most in need, the program seeks to alleviate hardship and promote greater self-sufficiency within the community. The City of Deltona's strategic priorities include enhancing community services and ensuring that vital resources reach vulnerable populations. The program prioritizes projects that offer either new services or a quantifiable increase in the current level of service provided by non-profit agencies or other public service organizations. This focus ensures that the grant funds lead to tangible and measurable improvements in service delivery, rather than simply maintaining existing levels. The City's theory of change posits that by investing in impactful public services, it can create a ripple effect that strengthens the social fabric of the community and addresses systemic inequalities faced by low-income residents. Expected outcomes include an increased availability and accessibility of critical public services for income-eligible residents. Measurable results will be tied to the nature of the services provided, such as the number of individuals served, the types of services offered, and the quantifiable increase in service capacity. The grant's duration of one year suggests a focus on immediate and impactful interventions, with the potential for ongoing assessment of project effectiveness. The City of Deltona will evaluate proposals based on their ability to maximize services provided to the community, demonstrating a commitment to efficient and effective use of public funds.

The 5224GOOD Grants, announced by the Community Foundation of Johnson County, represent a key initiative aligned with the foundation's mission to address community needs. This grant program is managed in partnership with the Community Foundation of Johnson County (CFJC) through the 5224GOOD Charitable Fund and the 5224GOOD Endowed Fund. 5224GOOD itself is a learning and giving circle, dedicated to educating its members about philanthropy and community needs within Johnson County. This structure indicates a strategic approach where donor education and community engagement directly inform and support the grant-making process, ensuring that funding is directed towards areas of genuine need identified through member involvement. For 2024, the granting focus area is specifically Housing Insecurity in Johnson County, Iowa. This focus demonstrates a clear priority for the grant cycle, driven by the 5224GOOD membership's engagement with local organizations and their learning about this critical issue. The grants are geared toward program/project support requests, considering both existing and new initiatives, with a strong encouragement for collaborative projects. The target beneficiaries are individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity within Johnson County, with the ultimate impact goal being to alleviate or prevent such insecurity through supported programs and projects. The eligibility criteria further define the target for this grant. Applicants must be 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations, churches, the ICCSD, or government entities that significantly serve Johnson County, Iowa, and focus their work on Housing Insecurity. Organizations without 501(c)3 status are encouraged to find a fiscal sponsor to apply, broadening the potential reach of the grants while maintaining accountability. This ensures that the funding reaches legitimate and impactful organizations directly addressing the identified community need. While the description doesn't explicitly detail a "theory of change," the focus on Housing Insecurity, the encouragement of program/project support, and the emphasis on organizations significantly serving Johnson County strongly suggest an implicit theory: that targeted financial support for effective programs will lead to measurable improvements in housing stability for residents. The maximum request amount of $25,000 per application, with an encouragement to request the full amount, suggests an aim to fund impactful, well-defined projects rather than a large number of smaller initiatives. Expected outcomes would include a reduction in housing insecurity, increased access to stable housing solutions, and stronger support systems for vulnerable populations within Johnson County. The grant's direct targeting of a specific issue reflects a strategic priority to concentrate resources for maximum community benefit.

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 City of Savannah's 2025 Community Partnership Program aims to address key issues impacting its residents through Community Investment programs and Homelessness Services System Coordination funding. This initiative seeks to align with the city's strategic priorities of Good Government, Vibrant Neighborhoods, Health & Environment, Economic Strength/Poverty Reduction, Infrastructure Growth & Development, and Public Safety. The program operates under a theory of change that by supporting legally formed non-profit entities directly benefiting Savannah residents, it can achieve positive and measurable community outcomes across various critical sectors. The Community Investment programs target a broad range of beneficiaries, including residents experiencing challenges with economic mobility, seniors, youth, individuals facing food insecurity, and those in need of health and wellness services. The impact goal for these programs is to foster a more resilient and thriving community by addressing fundamental needs and improving quality of life. Funding for Community Investment contracts ranges from $15,000 to $50,000, with proposals evaluated by selection committees. A specific focus of the program is Homelessness Services System Coordination. This funding category, capped at $200,000, is dedicated to supporting the lead agency for the Continuum of Care (CoC). The target beneficiaries for this category are individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Savannah. The impact goal is to strengthen the coordinated entry system and other federally mandated CoC activities, leading to more efficient and effective services for the homeless population and ultimately reducing homelessness in the city. Eligible activities for participating agencies fall under two categories: Community Services and Homelessness Services System Coordination. Proposals for Community Services (ranging from $15,000 to $50,000) must demonstrate the ability to address a community need. For the Homelessness Services System Coordination category (up to $200,000), agencies must prove their capacity to provide all required Continuum of Care services. Expected outcomes include tangible improvements in the focus areas, with measurable results tied to the specific services provided and the number of residents impacted. For instance, an economic mobility program would measure the number of individuals gaining employment or increased income, while a food insecurity program would track the number of meals provided or individuals served. To ensure accountability and financial integrity, applying agencies must be legally formed non-profit entities located within Savannah and providing services to its residents. They are required to provide proof of legal formation and submit a Review Report of their profit and loss statement or financial statements prepared by an Independent Auditor or Certified Public Accountant. For agencies expending less than $100,000 in the prior fiscal year, a summary of the Profit and Loss Statement prepared by an independent auditor or a certified public accountant will be accepted. Any financial concerns identified will be addressed during the proposal review period in consultation with the City of Savannah’s Office of Management and Budget, ensuring that public funds are managed responsibly and effectively towards achieving the program’s strategic objectives.
