Application Summary
Project: Project/Program: Art Education Services to Los Gatos Union School District
Program Manager: Stefanie Johnston
Agency: Name of Agency: Art Docents of Los Gatos
Site Address: 17000 Roberts Road Los Gatos, CA 95032
Name of Executive Director: Michelle Abene, President
Project Description: Provide brief description of agency, agency goals, and agency services.
Describe your program briefly, including who benefits from your program.
Who benefits: all students in the Los Gatos Union School District (4 elementary schools:
Blossom Hill, Daves Avenue, Lexington, Van Meter; 1 middle school: Fisher Middle School),
grades K-8.
Direct Services: To fulfill the need outlined in the "Memorandum of Understanding" between
the Art Docents of Los Gatos and the Los Gatos Union School District, the Art Docents agree to
provide:
• A comprehensive and sequential visual arts program aligned with the California Public
School Art Standards;
• Docent -led, hands-on art technique lessons;
• Arrangements and payment for the professional guest artist to visit each school in the
district;
• Production of the Annual District -wide Student Art Show in which the entire Los Gatos
community is invited to attend;
• Training and continuing education for volunteer docents who provide services
How, when, where, services are delivered: Trained docents take the program directly into all
K-5 classrooms, and by request into grades 6,7 and 8 classrooms in the LGUSD during school
hours throughout the school year. The program consists of :
• Print presentations: a mix of digital slides and poster -sized hand-held, mounted prints
• Hands-on workshop lessons that use traditional art materials:
• The Annual Student Art Show, held once a year over the span of a week, usually in May
in the Fisher School multi -purpose room. Each classroom arranges for a tour during
school hours, led by Art Docents.
• Sponsor professional guest artists who set-up demonstrations in one location at each
school are visited by classes. Students may also view the demonstration during recess and
lunch.
Why should services be provided: When we educate children in the arts, we provide them with
another way to communicate their ideas and comprehend their world. Art links us to other
cultures, other times in history, other neighborhoods. A complete art education teaches students
to see clearly, to think creatively, and to give form to the future. Exposure to the art enhances
their ability to become flexible, innovative and creative individuals. By providing this services,
the Art Docents of Los Gatos are fulfilling the commitment of the Los Gatos Union School
District to the visual arts.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources
as appropriate.
The Art Docents of Los Gatos was formed in 1973 to fill a void left by the decrease in school
spending for the Arts. For the past 43 years the Art Docents program has provided a
comprehensive and sequential visual- arts program, unduplicated in the scope or quality by any
other school or town program, to over 3000 Los Gatos students in the Los Gatos Union School
District. The Art Docents work in collaboration with one district art teacher who travels between
the four elementary schools. The goal of our cultural/educational program is to meet the Guiding
Principles of the Visual Art Standards outlined by the State of California: to introduce art as a tool
for creative expression; to develop familiarity with diverse cultures and appreciate one's common
heritage: to appreciate and experience the creation of art. The program helps fulfill the arts and
cultural needs of our community as outlined in the Town's arts/cultural plan. The program also is
continually being evaluated to ensure that it meets the California Visual Art Standards adopted by
the school district.

While the Silicon Valley in general has a wealth of cultural arts entertainment available, it usually comes

offered locally at a reasonable price.

Program Manager: Stefanie Midlock
Agency: Name of Agency: Los Gatos Museum Association (New Museum Los Gatos)
Site Address: 106 E. Main Street, Los Gatos, CA 95030
Name of Executive Director: Lisa Coscino
Project Description: Provide brief description of agency, agency goals; and agency services.
Describe your program briefly, including who benefits from your program.
New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU), formerly the Los Gatos Museum Association founded in
1965, is a public non-profit art and history museum located in the Civic Center Plaza in
downtown Los Gatos.
NUMU requests a grant to support the cataloguing and digitizing of its permanent collection.
NUMU is the steward of an estimated 3,000 pieces of art and artifacts that tell the story of the
Town of Los Gatos. This rich collection is held in trust for the public, and benefits the residents
of Los Gatos by providing them a link to the past from which to frame the present and plan for
the future. This is the first phase in a multi -year project with the goal of cataloguing and
digitizing the entire collection. We estimate that this funding support will complete the first ten
percent of the project.
The artifacts in NUMU's collection were originally stored in the Forbes Mill Museum and the
Los Gatos Art Museum. Since moving them to NUMU's new site in the Civic Center, the
artifacts have been inventoried, housed, and secured in a new climate -controlled secured storage
room. The next step in caring for NUMU's permanent collection is to create an accurate,
detailed, publicly accessible online database. Funding from this grant will allow NUMU to hire a
dedicated staff person to work solely on making the collection accessible online through proper
cataloguing and digital imaging.
NUMU's mission is to "engage community at the intersection of art, history and education
through innovative, locally connected and globally relevant exhibits programs and experiences."
The online database would aide the Museum to create meaningful experiences with its
permanent collection by allowing anyone in Los Gatos, and around the world, to view and
contribute to the understanding and contextualization of objects. NUMU strives to not just
preserve Los Gatos history but also share it.
Appropriately cataloguing the important artifacts of Los Gatos means that they will be correctly
documented and tracked. In the short term, that means that the artifacts can be used in exhibits,
educational programs, and can be available to researchers. In the long term, it means future
generations of Los Gatos residents will have tangible pieces of their history.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources as
appropriate.
For over 50 years, the Los Gatos Museum Association has collected items related to the town's history
and art. In the digital age, it is the time to make that collection meaningful and accessible to the Los Gatos
community through proper cataloguing and digitization. The ability to access the museum's collections
online gives the community a new avenue for learning and increases opportunities for the public to
interact with their art and history in an educational and inspiring manner. Digitization is a way to reach
the Los Gatos community when they are not physically able to come to the museum. Local school
children can get information to enrich their understanding of California history by looking online at
objects used in their hometown. Digitized art can inspire artists facing mobility or transportation
challenges. Digitizing NUMU's collection allows Los Gatos residents to be in touch with art and history
on their terms and when it's convenient for them. Additionally, a deeper understanding of the collection
will allow NUMU's curators and researchers to properly interpret the vibrant and fascinating story of Los
Gatos through its artifacts and art.
c. Direct Services

C. Agency Experience --Describe the experience of your Agency in providing program services.
Since 1965, the Los Gatos Museum Association has collected and housed hundreds of objects that
represent and reflect the town's rich history and art. The New Museum Los Gatos is committed to
continuing this tradition while preserving and sharing the history and art that makes Los Gatos so vibrant.
Our staff in collections, art and history are professionally trained and educated in advanced degree
programs related to collections management and work to make NUMU a vital part of the ongoing
preservation and interpretation of the history and art of Los Gatos.
The new facility allows us to properly store and secure the collections in a climate -controlled room. There
are also security and fire safety measures in place that were not available prior to our move.
NUMU has already begun to utilize an online database system called ei-live, which allows residents of
Los Gatos, and the larger world, to view NUMU's collection. With funding from this grant, we can
increase the amount of records that are currently online, strengthening the communities' connection to
and ability to access the collection.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources as
appropriate.
As the cultural backbone of Los Gatos and its surrounding communities, the Los Gatos Museum
Association has been serving the Los Gatos community for over fifty years. New Museum Los
Gatos (NUMU) curates and presents art and history exhibitions, supporting programs and hands-
on art making programs in its extensive exhibition space and dedicated Studio, offering fresh
perspectives on Bay Area history, art, and the innovation of our times. NUMU's education
programs also provide learning opportunities for adults, youth and children. This Community
Grant proposal focuses on NUMU's children programs.
NUMU's current education program serving elementary age school students is the Museum
Explorer Program. The Museum Explorer Program includes school tours for elementary school
students in kindergarten through fifth grade. At present, Explorer is offered for one week in
February and one week in April, with optional additional dates throughout the school year,
October through April. The Museum Explorer Program is designed to introduce students to art
and history themes in an age appropriate manner within the context of a museum setting.
Children from Los Gatos schools participate in large numbers; as do children from the
3
surrounding Santa Clara County communities. The Program provides many children with their
first exposure to a museum. Smithsonian research has shown that museum enrichment
experiences have a significant positive impact on child development. While art and history
learning opportunities can be found in our local schools, galleries, and studios, a museum
provides a unique venue for such exploration. Museums educate, lend inspiration, and offer
exposure to a range of cultural perspectives with unparalleled resources including historical
artifacts and original artworks. As our Museum develops in its new location, we wish to
continue to expand and deepen our educational offerings to the children of our community. The
Museum requests Community Grant funding to continue offering the Museum Explorer program
year-round. In addition, we would like to offer a transportation stipend to offset transportation
expenses, thus enabling more young students' participation, particularly those in area Title 1
schools. The Museum Explorer program speaks to the nature of the Los Gatos community,
providing important cultural and learning opportunities to its residents of all ages.
For better-resourced schools in Los Gatos and the surrounding communities the Explorer
program is a curriculum supplement. We are working directly with the Los Gatos School district
and its elementary school teachers to create lessons complementing classroom curriculum.
NUMU meets grade specific curriculum standards, and each program is designed specifically for
each visiting class and the their current curriculum. For schools with fewer resources, Explorer is
a vital part of classroom planning and often provides a first-time museum experience for many
students. For Los Gatos students who come from families with fewer resources, the Museum's
educational programming provides essential educational and cultural opportunities.

C. Agency Experience --Describe the experience of your Agency in providing program services.
The Los Gatos Museum Association has delivered cultural and historical educational programs
as part of its core mission since its founding in 1965. These programs have focused on providing
children and youth with outstanding learning experiences. The current Explorer program has
been in place for nine years. All NUMU education programs use a combination of trained staff,
experienced volunteers, and professional consultants to deliver exceptional learning experiences
for student participants. Planning for Explorer begins a year in advance in order to allow time to
develop program content, communicate with the classroom teachers, and obtain external funding.
It is a measure of the excellence of these programs that the NUMU has been successful in
obtaining the needed financial support for both. Credentialed consultants are interviewed and
carefully selected to ensure excellent delivery, creative and imaginative curriculum planning.
D. Staff Experience --Describe the experience of key staff assigned to the program.
Madeleine Crow is our Education & Programs Manager. She holds a joint honors degree in Art
History and French from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and has six years experience

Mr. Falek is a frequent guest presenter at the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose. He is
on the artist roster for Young Audiences of Northern California and the Alaska State Council of

delivering art education programming in a variety of contexts. From 2008-2011 she served as
the Museum's Education Curator, managing and originating many of the core features of the
Explorer Program. Under her leadership, the Explorer Program grew to include many teachers
both in Los Gatos and the surrounding communities that incorporated the program into their
curriculum planning. Ms. McGrath has also served in other positions in the museum and has
been NUMU's Art Curator since 2013.
Julie Harper, M.A. is NUMU's Creative Director. Ms. Harper has worked to produce exhibits in

Project Description: Provide brief description of agency, agency goals, and agency services.
Describe your program briefly, including who benefits from your program.
Now entering our eighth year in partnership with Los Gatos High School, CASSY is well
positioned to deepen the impact of our programs on student's social/emotional health, which has
far reaching implications for students' academic success. We have developed a strong
partnership with the district, with the school, and with the community at large. As a result, we
are the sole provider of school -based mental health services at LGHS and are now an established
presence in our schools, which has led to an increase in self selection among students for
services.
CASSY will address the gap in youth mental health services in Los Gatos by partnering with Los
Gatos High School to provide competent, accessible therapists on the school campus at no cost to
students and families.
Program Funding: Provide prior year fiscal year actual budget amounts and proposed amounts

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources as
appropriate.
According to the California Healthy Kids Survey, nearly 1 in 5 high school students in Santa Clara
County has seriously considered suicide in the last year. A recent CDC report also found that 20% of
young people —nearly 60,000 students in Santa Clara county alone —experience other mental health
issues, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, academic stress, post -traumatic stress due to trauma
or violence, and low self-esteem.
Sadly, only one-third of children who are actually diagnosed with a mental health issue will even receive
treatment. For adolescents living in poverty, the statistics are much worse: 90 percent diagnosed with a
mental health issue report not receiving counseling or other services. Regardless of socioeconomic class,
the cost of private care, complicated insurance battles, transportation issues, and stigma often act as
3
barriers to a child receiving proper care.
Left untreated, mental health issues have a profound impact on a student's academic achievement and
career readiness. Research clearly shows that students with unmet mental health needs are more likely to
have lower grades and test scores while also experiencing higher rates of suspension, expulsion, and
truancy; not surprisingly, they are also more likely to dropout of school altogether. Simply put, when a
child is depressed or processing trauma, they have a difficult time focusing on school. Meanwhile,
teachers and parents are often at a loss as to how to get a child back on track, or how to handle the
classroom disruption or noncompliance that can accompany mental health issues. Too often, the result is a
child who become increasingly isolated, who abuses substances, or, in the most tragic cases, commits
suicide the second leading cause of death for youth in Santa Clara County.
However, there is hope. Studies also show that students are far more likely to seek counseling when it is
at their school, especially if it is free. Research also shows that when struggling youth do receive proper
support, academic success is likely to follow. They build important emotional regulation and coping
strategies that help them stay focused in class and help them develop positive peer, teacher and familial
relationships, among other benefits. Providing high -quality school -based mental health support benefits
the entire school, resulting in increased attendance and a more positive school climate —one in which
students feel safe and supported. Clearly, if we are to ensure that all students thrive academically, we
must ensure they have high -quality social -emotional support on school campuses.

C. Agency Experience --Describe the experience of your Agency in providing program services.
Seven years ago, CASSY was founded by two experienced school therapists to meet the glaring need for
high -quality mental health support in Silicon Valley schools. From a single Ravenswood City School
District summer school program in 2009, CASSY has grown into a non-profit organization that partners
with 43 Santa Clara and San Mateo county public schools to provide comprehensive mental health
services to all enrolled students at no charge. Our mission is to de -stigmatize mental health services and
make supporting students' social and emotional well-being the norm in our schools.
CASSY places competent, compassionate therapists directly on school campuses, eliminating the
transportation, financial, and insurance barriers that so often prevent young people from getting the help
they need. We support students through individual, group, and family counseling, while also offering
crisis support and intervention, staff and parent consultations, and classroom lessons on bully prevention,
depression, and suicide awareness. Annually, we provide direct services to over 5,000 students.
Indirectly, 33,000 students benefit from their peers, teachers, and parents developing tools to foster
positive relationships, responsible decision -making, and social skills.
D. Staff Experience --Describe the experience of key staff assigned to the program.
Executive Director, Christy Hayes, is a credentialed early childhood teacher and brings to CASSY more
than a decade in diverse nonprofit management and leadership roles in addition to deep experience with
and understanding of every level of child development and student support.
Program Director, Kelly Sumner, is an established clinician with over 15 years of experience, including
the past six years as a clinical supervisor. Before joining CASSY, Kelly was the clinical supervisor for
Adolescent Counseling Services in Palo Alto and supervised a team of MFT Trainees and Interns at Palo
Alto High School. She was a clinical supervisor at Family and Children Services of Silicon Valley for the
Independent Living Program Wellness Services, which served transition -aged foster youth.
Site Coordinator, Erica Smith, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She began her work at
Living Arts Counseling Center and then expanded her training at Rape Trauma Services when she had the
opportunity to work in a variety of therapeutic settings in the bay area. During this time she began to
work exclusively with the adolescent population. She recently completed her doctorate in Depth
Psychology with an emphasis in Psychotherapy at Pacifica Graduate Institute.
Therapists employed by CASSY hold a graduate degree in a mental health related field and have a
minimum of two years working with school based services for youth. All CASSY therapeutic staff are
registered with the Board of Behavior Sciences, which includes a LiveScan background check.
E. Staffing Plan --Describe any anticipated staffing changes to occur during FY 2017/18.
We do not anticipate any changes to our current staffing structure at this time.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data
sources as appropriate.
Santa Clara County is home to over 200,000 seniors aged 60 and over, about 16% of the total
county population, expected to double in the next 10 years (2010 U.S. Census). The county's
senior population has grown faster in the last 20 years than state and national rates. (COASV,
Exec. Summary, June 2012 and SCC, Seniors' Agenda: Phase II, Oct.2012). As the population
ages over time the increase in the need for care and services is a priority issue for our
community. One out of eight people in this country is 65 and older.
By 2030, 20% of the population will be senior citizens. Disabled seniors with chronic mobility
and self -care limitations, living on low -fixed incomes, are at the highest risk of social isolation,
depression, neglect, abuse, and premature / long-term institutionalization.
Also "at -risk" are family members who provide over 70% of care for their elderly loved ones.
County needs assessments on health and quality of life consistently report inadequate services
for the elderly, as well as the strain on family members caring for an older dependent relative. A
recent study found family caregivers are more likely to experience negative health effects like
anxiety, depression and chronic disease. Even worse, those who experienced mental or
emotional stress while caring for a disabled spouse were 63% more likely to die within four
years than noncaregivers who were also tracked. ('Who Will Care for the Caregivers?", New
York Times, January 19, 2017).
Persons most likely to need support and long-term services, i.e., those aged 85 and over, will
increase at a dramatic rate. By 2030, more than one in four (25%) of county residents will be a
senior (COASV and SCC CAP).
Day care for frail seniors and respite for their caregivers have been designated by all the
aforementioned community health studies as priority needs. With the steady and ongoing
increase in the aging population, and the frequency of older adults subject to disorders impeding
self-sufficiency and quality of life, the needs of seniors will continue to demand greater attention,
while respite care for informal caregivers will be an accompanying key senior issue.
LIVE OAK's senior clients are frail, at -risk, dependent and disabled by age -related disorders
which deny them the ability for self -care, mobility, and healthy functioning. The dearth of
appropriate and affordable services, isolation, loneliness and depression, malnutrition and
neglect or abuse challenge their health, dignity, comfort and overall quality of life.
Day care for frail seniors and respite for their caregivers have been designated by all of the
aforementioned community health studies as priority needs. Through advocacy on behalf of
seniors and promotion of adult day care as a positive and economical mode of care for the frail
elderly population, LIVE OAK provides a viable and consistent contribution to meeting the
critical need for senior -related services in Santa Clara County. With the steady and ongoing
increase in the aging population, and the frequency of older adults subject to disorders impeding
self-sufficiency and quality of life, the needs of seniors will continue to demand greater attention,
while respite care for informal caregivers will be an accompanying key senior issue.
By promoting adult day care as a positive and economical mode of care for the frail elderly
population, LIVE OAK provides a viable and consistent contribution to meeting the critical need
for senior -related services in Santa Clara County. Our request for funds is geared to providing
essential human services for special needs, very low and low income populations and
households (disabled and dependent seniors). The frail, at -risk seniors who will attend LIVE
4
OAK are not able to attend mainstream senior center programs. They need a safe and
supportive environment offering hands-on assistance with activities of daily living including
eating, ambulating, toileting, etc. They are also at great risk of isolation, falls, over/under
medicating and/or premature hospitalization/institutionalization.
c. Direct Services

fundraising events. In the event of reduced, or loss of, funding, our efforts would include
seeking increased gifts from existing funders, researching new donors, encouraging increased
support from our client families, etc. CDBG funding from Los Gatos and other communities is
integral to our ability to provide day care for the growing numbers of frail seniors. We maintain a

would directly impact the number of clients we are able to serve.
E. Funding Sources —Describe your organization's efforts in pursuing other funding sources.
Maintaining a diversified, stable funding base is an ongoing agency priority to ensure financial
stability and uninterrupted operation in case of a loss or reduction in funding from a particular
source. Fundraising efforts are ongoing and include renewing proposals with known donors,
researching new sources, keeping abreast of developments in the nonprofit arena, participating
in speaking presentations and community and business fundraising events. The agency's
Board includes a Fund Development Chairperson. Board recruitment requires willingness to
make personal gifts to the agency and participate in fundraising efforts.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources as
appropriate.
According to the latest data available from the County of Santa Clara's Senior Nutrition Program
collected during the FY2015/16 Nutrition Risk Screening, nearly 70% of Los Gatos clients who
attend the Live Oak Senior Nutrition program eat alone most of the time and do not have enough
money to buy food needed. The survey also shows that more than half (54%) are unable to shop or
cook for themselves and many (46%) eat fewer than 2 meals per day. For most off our clients,
enjoying a hot meal with their friends at Live Oak is the only social time they get all week. AAA
reports that "strong social connections are fundamental to physical and mental well-
being". Perspectives on Psychological Science notes the health effects of prolonged isolation
are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day and increases the risk of death by anywhere
from 26% to 45%. According to "The Journals of Gerontology" published by the Oxford
.Iournals, "social isolation is associated with worsening health and poses a particularly
severe risk for older adults". These risks include increased mortality, morbidity,
depression and cognitive decline (IEng, Rimm, Fitznnanrice & Kawachi, 2002), and
increased) number of fails. US News reports sunpport these facts and add "mental abilities
3
can suffer as a person's world shrinks...and cognitive decline and dementia are more likely
with isolation". An increase in older adult suicides and elder abuse have also been
associated with social isolation in seniors.
AARP stated in 2014, more than 10 million adults aged 60 and older in the US were at risk
of hunger, lacking access to enough nutritious food to lead to a healthy, active lifestyle,
leading to a higher prevalence of chronic conditions, medication non -adherence and
hospital readmissions. AARP also reports that Second Harvest Heartland has seen a 1000 %
increase in referrals for "food insecure older adults". Santa Clara County Second Harvest
Food Bank estimates that 47% of seniors in Santa Clara County do not receive adequate
nutrition. Clearly the issues of hunger and social isolation are both on the rise, bringing
the existence of "social malnutrition" and physical malnutrition into focus as two of the
leading causes of health decline in American oiler adults.

a. FY16-17 based on executed contract amendment Number 6 to Santa Clara County contract of
$128,332 adjusted to reflect expected county payments against contract. The contract value is the
maximum available, provided we serve the full number of contracted meals. Due to individual
vagaries of weather, sickness, etc. some of our clients miss their "reservations" they had made for
meals, and we typically serve less than the contracted number. The county payment through the
fiscal year is based solely on the number of meals actually served, despite fixed line -item costs
enumerated in the contract. FY17-18 country funding based on a preliminary Santa Clara
County -provided preliminary framework budget, which won't be finalized or negotiated until
about June 15, 2017. The expected FY17-18 income from the county reflects the preliminary
MAXIMUM county contract value of $133,521 adjusted to $115,000 to reflect potential fewer
meals served than contracted. In the last completed fiscal year, Fiscal 15/16 ended on June 30
2016, the county actually paid us only $106,177.07 of the MAXIMUM contract value of
$130,065.16.
b. Re: fees for service. We collect on behalf of Santa Clara. County a voluntary contribution from
the participants for meal costs; all such contributions are remitted directly and completely to the
county — our program retains none of the contributions for its local budgetary purposes.
c. We have an endowment fund we have invested at Charles Schwab. When the budget doesn't
otherwise close, we sparingly use interest/dividends and principal from the fund to supplement
other sources of funding. This line item of the Revenue Budget is calculated as the amount
needed to close the gap between our Expenditure budget and our other sources of revenue.

B. Organization Contracts --Has your organization ever had funds withdrawn or a contract
terminated for cause, unsatisfactory performance, or questionable costs on any financial statements or
audit? If so, please describe.
No
C. Organization Investigations --Is your organization currently on probation or under investigation
by any agency which is or was a funding source within the past two years? If so, please describe.
No
D. Budget Alternatives --What alternatives will your organization consider if the requested
Community Grant funding is not provided, or provided at a reduced level? Describe how a reduction will
affect the achievement of stated goals.
Funding for essential senior nutrition programs like ours is difficult to find. A reduction in Town
funding would devastate our program and possibly force us to discontinue providing vital nutrition,
social nourishment, information and referral services, as well as safety net efforts that keep many of
our seniors safe from scams, homelessness and isolation. Our current and future older adult Los
Gatos residents who rely on our services do not have local alternative to our program.
E. Funding Sources --Describe your organization's efforts in pursuing other funding sources.
Our Board's fundraising efforts result in about 17% of our annual budget including fundraising
events at Los Gatos United Methodist Church, Los Gatos Service and Community Clubs and both
corporate and individual donors. Interest from our endowment (now about $210,000) provides
about 5% of our annual budget. In order to keep the continuity of our program stable, we have
occasionally been forced to dip into the principal of our endowment to cover short fall in other
income sources. This includes short falls in County and Town funding.
F. Supplies Disclosure —If any non -expendable supplies with a unit cost of $100 or more are to be
purchased with Community Grant funds, please describe.
None
G. Travel Expense Disclosure --If Community Grant funds are to be used for staff travel expenses,
please describe.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources as appropriate.
Grief Support Groups (2) and Transitions Support Group (1):
There are a number of seniors that greatly benefit from professional facilitators leading small groups involving
grief support and transitions support. Small, intimate groups offer a chance to connect with others and be
socially and emotionally supported during a vulnerable, sometimes lonely and frightening time. At this time
we have an on -going, and very popular, monthly widows group called `Single Again...But Not By Choice'.
We would like this successful, cohesive group of 10-12 participants to continue. We seek to launch a new
grief support group for men and women who have recently lost a partner. We also currently offer a bi-
monthly `Transitions' support group that we would like to continue. This group is important to help people
navigate changes in their personal situation.
Our professional facilitators, with backgrounds in social work and gerontology, assist seniors with their
personal journey of assisting loved ones, feelings of being overwhelmed, and moving successfully to the next
passage in their life and more. The above programs requesting the grant support are in alignment with the
Town of Los Gatos' Age Friendly Initiative.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources as
appropriate.
Clubhouse has 18 students currently on a scholarship, eight of those attending one of the four locations in
the Town of Los Gatos. LGS Recreation is a self-sustaining agency with rising operating cost. Our
discount percentage awarded for scholarships has been reduced from 30% off to now 20% off for this
fiscal year. Historically LGS Recreation has not promoted its scholarship opportunities but rather awarded
a discount on the program's monthly tuition as requested by families demonstrating a need. Our program
is unique in that it is the only on -site after school care option for families but also designed to align with
stakeholder input from on -going surveys and student led decisions.
Clubhouse tuition cost are set to go up again in the fall, but we know access to affordable after school
programs boost students' academic performance, reduce risky behaviors, promote physical health, and
provide a safe, structured environment for the children of working parents.

For more than 60 years LGS Recreation has been a vital resource for this community. Providing a wide -

committed leaders working to make our students feel connected, supported, confident and empowered. To
ensure this level of service and that we maintain a safe and healthy Clubhouse environment for all, staff
are trained monthly in areas like active supervision, child abuse and neglect, mandated reporting,
emergency preparedness, CPR & first aid, bullying prevention, etc.
E. Staffing Plan —Describe any anticipated staffing changes to occur during FY 2017/18.
At this time we don't anticipate any staffing changes to our Clubhouse program. Although, if a member
of our current team does decide to move on in their professional career, we have a Human Resources
department that is robust in recruitment and will react thoughtfully and timely to fill any staffing
shortages.

NEXT DOOR SOLUTIONS
Town of Los Gatos
FY 2017/18 Community Grant Program
Application Summary
Project: Project/Program: Shelter & Support Services for Victims of Domestic Violence
Program Manager: Colsaria Henderson, Director of Programs
Agency: Name of Agency: Next Door Solutions to Domestic 'Violence
Site Address: 234 E. Gish Road, Suite 200; San Jose, CA 95112
Name of Executive Director: Susan McInnis, Acting Executive Director
Project Description: Provide brief description of agency, agency goals, and agency services.
Describe your program briefly, including who benefits from your program.
Since 1971 Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence (NDS), an autonomous, 501c3 nonprofit based in
San Jose, has served hundreds of thousands of women and children impacted by domestic violence (DV),
creating pathways for survivors to move from crisis to safety, stability and self-sufficiency. Our mission
is "to end domestic violence in the moment and for all time." NDS uses strategies of Woman -Defined
intervention and advocacy programs focusing on increasing self-determination and safety for DV victims,
and prevention programming focused on social mobilization at the individual and community level.
As the only agency is the county that is solely focused on addressing domestic violence, NDS leverages
its experience and expertise by implementing comprehensive, compassionate, Woman -Defined services to
financially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse families through bilingual services specifically
addressing the unique needs of DV survivors through four core programs:
• Crisis Services: Emergency Shelter and Hotline — safe haven, food, case management, counseling,
other supportive services. The Shelter and Hotline are open 365 days a year, 24 hours each day.
• Support Groups: 11 county wide, including one in Los Gatos; Kids Club — positive play for youth
while parent is attending groups at the Community Office and HomeSafe residential sites
• Community & Systems Advocacy: Walk -In Crisis Counseling, legal advocacy, assistance with
restraining orders, and access and referrals to other supportive services
• Self -Sufficiency: Provides long-term Intensive Case Management based on the Eight Domains of
Self -Sufficiency framework: Income, Housing, Food, Education, Employment, Healthcare, Wellness, and
Domestic Violence (safety); and workshops and a support group; services are provided at the Community
Office and HomeSafe residential sites
Proposed Program Services: NDS proposes to serve 52 Los Gatos residents, including children, who are
victims of domestic violence with one or more services from NDS core programs: Crisis Services
(Shelter/Hotline), Support Groups, and Community & Systems Advocacy. All services are free of charge.
Of the proposed services, only one is located in Los Gatos - a Support Group at St. Mary's Church on
Bean Avenue. All other services are provided at the 24/7 Emergency Shelter located in Santa Clara
County (confidential location for client safety), and at the Community Office on Gish Road in San Jose
(Support Groups and Community & Systems Advocacy), and an additional Support Group in Mountain
View; NDS also provides a Support Group at Elwood Women's Correctional Facility (a high percentage
of incarcerated women are victims of abuse). Any Los Gatos resident can participate in any of the
proposed services (any location), and we will report on proposed services provided to all residents of Los
Gatos.
• 24/7 Emergency Shelter and Hotline - NDS opened the Emergency Shelter for victims of domestic
violence in 1971, one of the first in the state and nation, and has provided continuous services for 46
years. The Shelter operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year housing 19 people at any one time. Victims
have been displaced or have fled their home due to abuse. Clients receive:
• Safe haven from potentially life -threatening abuse (physical and psychological) in a home -like
environment;
• Food, personal hygiene products, clothing, and same -day assistance in obtaining necessary
medications;
• Culturally and linguistically specific Risk Assessment and Safety Plan;
• Counseling — dealing with crisis, trauma, and feelings of isolation, depression and anxiety
• Holistic case management and advocacy focused on housing and immediate and short-term goals;
• Assistance with housing searches and identifying resources to assist in obtaining housing;
• Financial literacy screening, links to emergency cash aid and food stamps, and rental subsidies for
eligible clients via outside sources;
• Links to NDS legal advocacy (including restraining orders), Support Groups, Self -Sufficiency
workshops and case management, and referrals to outside resources.
The (Shelter) Children's Advocate provides:
• Transition Plan with mother — helps the child adjust to leaving home, shelter stay, and other changes
• Assistance enrolling children in school or maintaining current enrollment, including free
transportation when necessary
• Education/homework assistance
• Child -centered, age and development appropriate recreational activities (group/individual) while
mothers are in other on -site sessions/services
The Shelter is similar to a multi -family style home, with two family rooms, a bedroom and ADA
compliant bathroom on the first floor, a dorm room with bunk beds, bedrooms for families, two
(additional) full bathrooms, and a large common kitchen and dining area where clients can prepare and
share meals (if desired). The Shelter location is confidential, maintains a safety gate, and several active
security cameras, and has a lift for wheelchair use.
• Community & Systems Advocacy (C&SA): Survivors receive Walk -In Crisis Counseling, Risk
Assessment, Safety Plan, legal advocacy, restraining order assistance, referrals to outside services and
resources, and assurance and comfort. Advocates coordinate services that address risk, safety, hunger,
homelessness, and health, helping clients rebuild their lives, and coordinate emergency services and
referrals to other NDS and community services to address identified needs. Advocates are sensitive to the
client's cultural and linguistic needs and, when necessary, make referrals to community agencies that help
specific ethnic groups and referrals to doctors and counselors who understand their language and culture.
Services are offered on a walk-in basis and clients receive a one-to-one counseling session. Advocates are
highly trained in addressing barriers to safety, stability and self-sufficiency. Length of session is based on
needs of the client; additional appointments are arranged after the initial intake.
Survivors develop their self -efficacy to address short-term challenges to safety and stability. Legal
advocacy provided by the Advocate assists survivors with restraining orders, referrals to attorneys,
2
mediation, and follow-up services — helping survivors to address legal issues that impact their safety and
housing status. Advocates teach clients how to navigate family, criminal, and immigration law and the
legal system according to the provisions of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). NDS also works
in partnership with Pro Bono Project, Bay Area Legal Aid, Santa Clara University Law, and Asian Law
Alliance which provides no fee legal counsel for people of low-income. For ending abuse, many
survivors rate filing a RO as one of the most effective tools, second only to leaving the abuser.
• Support Groups: NDS offers a weekly Support Group at St. Mary's Church on Bean Avenue in Los
Gatos on Monday evenings. In addition, Los Gatos residents may attend other Support Groups offered at
NDS' Community Office and in Mountain View at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation facility. In total,
NDS offers 11 Groups, three of which are offered in Spanish. Support Groups, led by highly trained NDS
facilitators, are important in our work with victims of domestic violence (DV) as they provide a Larger
circle of support as each participant makes connections with the others facing similar problems. They help
each other cope better and feel less isolated; isolation is a prevalent control tactic used by an abuser.
Participants in group sessions find discussing their problems with those who can offer genuine empathy
gives them a sense of belonging and encouragement. Group members provide support and direction for
others struggling with the same issues they have faced in the past.
NDS collects client data through a Client Intake Form, capturing DOB/age, gender, sexual orientation,
primary language, race and ethnicity (self -identify), and sources of income. Forms are in English and
Spanish. Data is entered into a database designed for domestic violence services, WS Osnium. The intake
form is also used to collect information on the NDS programs/services the client engages in or is referred
to, and information specific to their situations in regards to domestic violence. Biweekly, NDS' Database
Coordinator compiles and enters the information into WS Osnium. This data is used for internal and
external report generation. Additional client and program information is acquired through surveys and
exit interviews for information on overall experiences, service usefulness to client, delivery of services,
and suggestion for improvement or additional services/programs.
NDS' service model is based on the Woman -Defined Advocacy model that builds a partnership between
the Advocate and client, who ultimately defines the advocacy and help she needs. Program staff are
bilingual (English -Spanish), culturally competent, trained/certified DV Peer Counselors (California
Evidence Code: Section 1037-1037.8) with additional training in Woman -Defined Advocacy, Risk
Assessment, Safety Plan development, Trauma Informed Care, Client -Centered Intensive Case
Management, Motivational Interviewing; and advocacy skills in housing, financial, employment, health/
wellness, and educational goal setting, intervention planning, and resource identification and referrals.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources as
appropriate.
Per research complied by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence':
• 1 in 3 women have been physically abused by an intimate partner
• 1 in 5 women have been severely physically abused by an intimate partner
• Nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or
self -harm if presented with a breakup
Domestic violence (DV) is prevalent in every community and affects all people regardless of age,
socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, culture, religion, or nationality. DV victims
4
comprise an isolated and extremely underserved, almost invisible, population. Physical violence is often
accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior as part of a much larger, systematic pattern
of dominance and control. Domestic violence can result in physical injury, psychological trauma, and
even death. The devastating consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and last a lifetime.
Domestic violence is a primary cause of women"s homelessness, and SCC's 2015 Point -In -Time
Homeless Census and Survey revealed that 47% of homeless families with children respondents had
experienced DV; 19% of families and 17% of individual respondents stated that DV was the primary
cause of their homelessness; 4% reported currently experiencing DV/IVP abuse; and 27% reported DV
experience across a lifetime.
Per the Census Quickfacts data, in 2015 the Town of Los Gatos had an estimated population of 30,765, of
which 52. l % were female (16,028); 19.7% of the population was foreign born and 5.6% of the population
were at or below the Federal poverty level. Using the DV ratios stated in the first paragraph of this
section, it is possible that anywhere from 3,200 to 5,300 female Los Gatos residents could or have
experienced, in their lifetime, abuse by and intimate partner or been threatened with violence. During
the period of 2006 — 2015, the Los Gatos Police Department received, on annual average, 67 domestic
violence related calls, with approximately five involving a weapon.' The unfortunate fact is that many
incidents of domestic violence go unreported — for many reasons — and are also listed as another crime,
such as assault or homicide, and are not classified as domestic abuse.
Los Gatos client snapshot: 90% are of low-income or less; 50% White/Caucasian, 25% Hispanic; 25%
divided between Asian, Native American/Alaska Native, Bi-racial, and Other; 7% need language
assistance; 14% are immigrants/refugees/asylum seekers; and 4% are homeless.

C. Agency Experience --Describe the experience of your Agency in providing program services.
In 1971, a group of women concerned about the unmet need for services addressing domestic violence
(DV) in Santa Clara County (SCC) created a grassroots movement and together created a hotline and
refuge/shelter (a garage used as a safe haven) for domestic violence survivors and their children. The
refuge, the Shelter Next Door, was the second domestic violence shelter program in California and was
the first domestic violence shelter in the nation to offer bilingual English -Spanish services. In December
1974 they incorporated as the non-profit Women's Alliance (WOMA), and in 1989, WOMA changed its
name to Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence (NDS). In 2003 NDS merged with Women and Their
Children's Housing (WATCH) as both shared a long commitment to ending domestic violence. This
partnership leveraged their accumulative assets and connected NDS to the HomeSafe housing
communities in San Jose and Santa Clara, an innovative housing project that offers women and child
victims of domestic violence affordable, shared, permanent housing units.
Forty-six years later the 24/7 Hotline number remains unchanged since 1971,.the Shelter is now a large
family home that houses 19 people at any one time, and NDS has expanded services to address the unmet,
unique needs of DV survivors.
And like other great Silicon Valley organizations that started in a garage, NDS has continued to evolve to
continually address the needs of those it serves, to help survivors rebuild their lives by partnering with
them to identify options and working together to determine risks and pathways from crisis to self-
sufficiency, and identify innovative prevention strategies focused on changing norms within our
community.
NDS' service model is based on the Woman -Defined Advocacy model that builds a partnership between
the Advocate and client. Program staff are bilingual (primarily English -Spanish), culturally competent,
trained/certified DV Peer Counselors (California Evidence Code: Section 1037-1037.8); NDS is a
certified DV Peer Counselor trainer and not only provides training for its own staff, but also trains many
others who work with DV clients here in SCC and other parts of the Bay Area.
All clients receive Risk Assessments and Safety Plan - Culturally and linguistically specific lethality Risk
Assessments help clients understand life -generated risks and batterer-generated risks, and the level of risk
of the offender re -offending and a victim's risk of further assault. Using a series of questions to determine
the client's particular needs, the Advocate helps the client decide on the most beneficial services and
assist them in accessing those services. The information is used to develop a realistic Safety Plan - for
home, familial residences, places of employment, and with any children, and contain simple but critical
steps the survivor can take to increase their, and any children's, safety while they deal with the violence
they face in their personal life. Safety Plans are updated and changed according to the client's situation.
NDS regularly conducts community outreach and DV educational activities at numerous locations
throughout the county to increase awareness and reach more battered women — and expands its reach
through collaborations and implementation of innovative approaches to create new and expanded access
to DV services, i.e., Stanford School of Medicine - health/wellness workshops; Mayview Community
Health Center — integrated systems of care.
NDS is one of the County's Emergency Assistance Network providers and a participating member in the
1,000 Out of Poverty committee (Step Up Silicon Valley: goal to cut poverty in SCC). NDS provides
Rapid Rehousing intensive case management services to victims of domestic violence as a collaborative
partner with four additional agencies funded by ESG funds via the City of San Jose. NDS also works in
collaboration with the Health Trust in providing transitional housing services to victims of domestic
violence who also have AIDS/HIV. And NDS recently was chosen as one of four agencies in California
to implement a Housing First pilot program for victims of domestic violence in Santa Clara County.
In FY 15-16, more than 2,700 women and children experiencing domestic violence received
comprehensive services, providing safe haven, stability, and self-sufficiency; NDS also responded to
more than 15,000 Hotline calls providing crisis counseling and advocacy services. Next Door Solutions
continues to be a leading DV agency in creating solutions to what the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has labeled as "a serious, preventable public health problem that affects millions of
Americans" and in fulfilling its mission to end domestic violence in the moment... and for all time.
D. Staff Experience --Describe the experience of key staff assigned to the program.

B. Organization Contracts --Has your organization ever had funds withdrawn or a contract
terminated for cause, unsatisfactory performance, or questionable costs on any financial statements or
audit? If so, please describe.
NDS has never had funds withdrawn or a contract terminated.
C. Organization Investigations --Is your organization currently on probation or under investigation
by any agency which is or was a funding source within the past two years? If so, please describe.
NDS is not currently on probation or under investigation by any agency.
D. Budget Alternatives --What alternatives will your organization consider if the requested
Community Grant funding is not provided, or provided at a reduced level? Describe how a reduction will
affect the achievement of stated goals.
Funding from the Town of Los Gatos Community Grant is essential to providing the level of service
which will generate the greatest outcomes for its residents receiving services. Primarily, with any shortfall
from the Town of Los Gatos, NDS would have to use available unrestricted funds used to cover necessary
operational and administrative expenses to keep program services up to an acceptable level. Barring that,
our recourse would be to reduce the number of program staff or not fill open positions and to reduce
services, i.e., limit the number of crisis counseling sessions per clients.
E. Funding Sources --Describe your organization's efforts in pursuing other funding sources.
NDS has a resource development team composed of a full-time Director of Development, a Grants
Manager, a Development and Communications Officer, and a part-time Development Database Specialist
that is responsible for the creation and execution of an annual resource development plan.
Acknowledging the importance of community support to offset economic challenges, NDS continues to
put a priority on building relationships with private and corporate foundations and individual donors and
raising awareness of the widespread impact that domestic violence (DV) has on the community. As DV is
a primary cause of women's homelessness, increasing awareness and investments is on -going. And as DV
does not recognize economic status, level of education, place of residence, or race/ethnicities, we reach
out to all municipalities to contribute to the support of their constituents impacted by DV, as well as state
and federal funding.
Other sources of revenue that are projected to fund services for Los Gatos residents include the County's
Social Services Administration, Adult Protection Services, Urban CDBG; California Office of Emergency
Services (CalOES); FEMA, Office on Violence Against Women, (Department of Justice), HUD; grants
from other municipalities; California Marriage License & Probation Fees; Foundations, Individual
Donors; and Interest, In -kind and Other Income.
F. Supplies Disclosure --If any non -expendable supplies with a unit cost of $100 or more are to be
purchased with Community Grant funds, please describe.
NDS will not be purchasing any non -expendable supplies with a unit cost of $100 or more.
G. Travel Expense Disclosure --If Community Grant funds are to be used for staff travel expenses,
please describe.
All travel expense in (full) budget is for local travel relating to program services; mileage is reimbursed at
12
current Federal Reimbursement Rate and parking reimbursed at cost. Staff tum in mileage
reimbursement forms monthly or when they have accumulated $10 in costs.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources as
appropriate.
PHP helps children of all ages with any disability (whether physical, mental, emotional or
learning), as well as their families and the professionals (educators, speech and occupational
therapists, etc.) who work with them. Most of our clients live, work or go to school in Santa
Clara County.
PHP's Family Support program addresses the exceptional needs of children with disabilities and
special health care needs and their families, while helping to build a better, more just world for
3
these children. There were 552 children enrolled in special education in the Town of Los Gatos
in school year 2015-2016 and PHP helped 91 of them. This year we expect to serve 128 children
and their families.
Parents Helping Parents is ready to provide support to all of these people with disabilities and
their families. PHP is a great starting point for families when children are newly diagnosed, but
the help doesn't stop there. At PHP, clients never "age -out" of services. PHP provides services
throughout each child's lifetime, as infants, children, youth and adults.
PHP's client service statistics are consistent with the population of the Bay Area census reports.
The demographics of the Los Gatos families served by PHP are 14% Asian & Pacific Islander,
73% Caucasian, and 13% all other races.
The disabilities associated with the Los Gatos families served are:
autism 28% speech impaired 4%
learning disability 16% orthopedic 3%
attention deficit disorder 10% multiple disabilities 2%
intellectual disability 3% other disability 34%

C. Agency Experience —Describe the experience of your Agency in providing program services.
Parents Helping Parents (PHP) is a nonprofit, parent -directed family resource center serving Los
Gatos and the surrounding area. PHP was founded in 1976 by two parents of children with
disabilities. They saw a need for families like themselves to network to share the challenges,
knowledge gained and successes involved in raising their children with special needs.
PHP has grown into a multi -service resource center for families of children of all ages with any
disability or chronic or life -threatening illness such as epilepsy or cancer. Last year PHP
delivered over 26,000 direct services for children with special needs with a budget of $1.9
million, a staff of 33 employees, and 175+ volunteers.
PHP's mission is to help children and adults with special needs receive the support and services
they need to reach their full potential by providing information, training and resources to build
strong families and improve systems of care. PHP's goals for all of our services are:
• To improve the quality of life for children with any disability, chronic, or life -threatening
illness and their families through access to appropriate services, interventions and
resources.
• Through parent education opportunities, to provide children having any special need with
parents that have skills to navigate the unfamiliar territory of raising a child with special
needs.
To increase self-sufficiency in parents of children with any special need by providing
complete information about educational rights to ensure that their child's educational
needs are being met.
• To promote parent/professional collaboration to improve direct services, identify
informal supports, and create caring communities for children that are reflective of their
culture, priorities, and needs.
At PHP, services are family -centered, i.e. focused on the family as the unit of support not just the
child. PHP's family support services include:
• Emotional support and guidance from staff and volunteer peer -mentors
• Practical support such as information on specific health conditions, community resources,
securing supports, and funding
• Parent education and trainings on navigating the educational, Iegal, social service and
medical systems of care
• Condition and culturally -specific parent/professional support and information groups
• A one -of -a -kind assistive technology preview and demonstration center with services for
infants through adults at -risk -of or with disabilities
' Children's workshops
O A comprehensive special needs resource lending library
There are several family resource centers in Santa Clara County providing quality services.
PHP's is the only one whose focus is on disabilities, special health care needs, behavioral, and
learning disability issues and whose services are delivered by trained staff who are also parents
of children with disabilities. PHP is recognized as unique in the field and viewed as experts by
other agencies for providing support, information, and direction to families of children with
disabilities and special needs by parents of children with disabilities and special needs.
D. Staff Experience --Describe the experience of key staff assigned to the program.
PHP's uniqueness lies in a staff of parents experienced with having a child with special needs;
and that staff also has the necessary education and qualifications to perform the positions they
hold. The Program Manager is a parent of an adult with special needs and has been closely
involved with the organization since 1986. She has held executive positions within the agency
since 1991. Prior to coming to PHP, she had a 15-year history in the health care field and held a
Teaching Credential in a related field. She has a Certificate in Early Childhood Intervention from
Santa Clara University.
E. Staffing Plan —Describe any anticipated staffing changes to occur during FY 2017/18.
Each Resource Specialist has more than five years of experience providing support, training and
education to children with disabilities and their families. Most of the staff have bachelor's
degrees or advanced training in related fields and are also parents or relatives of individuals with
special needs or are themselves an individual with a disability. Staff are able to provide services
in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, French, Arabic, Italian and American Sign Language.

C. Organization Investigations --Is your organization currently on probation or under investigation
by any agency which is or was a funding source within the past two years? If so, please describe.
PHP is not on probation or under investigation.
D. Budget Alternatives —What alternatives will your organization consider if the requested
Community Grant funding is not provided, or provided at a reduced level? Describe bow a reduction will
affect the achievement of stated goals.
PHP will seek other sources of funding for services to Town of Los Gatos residents if not
funded. PHP is requesting a small grant so we hope there would be no reduction over that
granted in FY2015/16 and prior years. The Town of Los Gatos grant shows the local support for
services to individuals with disabilities and helps make the case for other funding support.
E. Funding Sources —Describe your organization's efforts in pursuing other funding sources.
At PHP, we continually explore a variety of methods to generate income to support our
10
programs. Our strategy includes seeking funding through government, corporation, foundation
and individual donor support, as well as through memberships and program fees where possible.
F. Supplies Disclosure -If any non -expendable supplies with a unit cost of $100 or more are to be
purchased with Community Grant funds, please describe.
No supplies will be purchased. The grant would support a small portion of one staff's salary.
G. Travel Expense Disclosure --If Community Grant funds are to be used for staff travel expenses,
please describe.
No travel expense will be funded by this grant.

Project Description: Provide brief description of agency, agency goals, and agency services. Describe
your program briefly, including who benefits from your program.
United Way Bay Area's (UWBA) mission is to be the catalyst that enables people to strengthen their
communities by investing in one another. Founded in 1922, UWBA has historically served as a funderof
hundreds of nonprofits through its donor company workplace campaigns. In the last decade, it has
transformed into an incubator of innovative programs to improve educational opportunities, access to
basic needs, and financial stability for disadvantaged communities. Today, UWBA also utilizes its
expertise in convening to leverage the power of high -performing, data -driven partners and agencies, with
the goal of reducing poverty in the Bay Area. UWBA's initiatives serve over a quarter -million Bay Area
residents annually, in eight of the Bay Area's nine counties — Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San
Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Solano.
211 is a free phone number and online database that connects Santa Clara County residents quickly and
effectively to existing health and human service programs, joblessness support, and disaster response
information in their communities. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and in 170 different
languages. Nationally, 211 covers 90 percent of the US population. Currently, over 92 percent of the
California's population has access to 211.
211 information and referral providers connect people of all income levels and language and cultural
backgrounds to resources tailored to their needs and circumstances, taking into account accessibility,
eligibility requirements, and other factors through live assistance from certified information and referral
specialists or online. In 2016, 23,820 Santa Clara County residents relied on 211 for help finding needed
community services such as rent and mortgage assistance, food and shelter, healthcare, job training,
transportation, childcare, and senior care. 211 services have also been important gateways for enrolling
low- and moderate -income families in health insurance programs, including Healthy Families and the
county -based Children's Health Initiative.
Additionally, 211 plays a critical role in providing information and support in times of disaster, such as
evacuation, shelter, food, medical and recovery information, and providing public officials with feedback
from callers about changing conditions.

8. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources
as appropriate.
Los Gatos has 30,391 residents (2013 US Census estimate). At any point, regardless of income, any
resident may have a health and human service need.
211 is a county -wide health and human service information and referral service. The largest benefit is the
easy to remember 3-digit, single call telephone number that can connect people with important
community services and volunteer opportunities with vetted information that includes program eligibility
requirements, etc. as opposed to individuals calling each agency on their own. Many professional service
personnel and employers utilize the service and refer their clients or staff to 211 to access information on
additional, beneficial resources. It differs from 4-1-1 in that the caller does not have to know the name of
the agency they want to contact or even where they can go for help; 211 call specialists are trained
according to national standards to identify the type of service and the best location for the caller. All 211
call center specialists are Alliance of Information and Referral Services (AIRS) certified and trained to ask
4
pertinent questions in order to make the best possible referral, and are also trained in domestic violence,
suicide, veteran's issues, and mandated reporter protocols. The caller can also receive multiple referrals
for multiple services with one call. 211 provides this support to Santa Clara County's 1.8 million people;
this includes the Town of Los Gatos' 30,391.
Additionally, 211 is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to play a role in
disseminating public information in a disaster; we are part of Santa Clara County's Emergency Operations
Plan, and will be activated to the Emergency Operations Center in the event of a local disaster.
211 serves the entire Town of Los Gatos - 24 hours a day. All Los Gatos residents have:
e Free access from cell phones, pay phones, home phones, and all other land lines
• Free access to the 211 SCC website (www.211bayarea.org)
O Free TTY access to 211 SCC by calling 866-390-6845.

C. Agency Experience --Describe the experience of your Agency in providing program services.
Established in 1922, United Way Bay Area's (UWBA) mission is to be the catalyst that enables
people to strengthen our communities by investing in one another. In response to recent findings
that one in four Bay Area residents are living in poverty, UWBA is committed to breaking the cycle
of poverty. As a leader in the Bay Area nonprofit sector, UWBA is on the front lines operating
7
systems -changing programs that provide real solutions to help move people out of poverty. Each
year, these innovative programs—SparkPoint, Earn It! Keep It! Save It!, 211, MatchBridge, and the
Emergency Food & Shelter Program — help more than 250,000 Bay Area residents. We connect
them to food and shelter, put people back to work, bring tax dollars back to our community, help
youth succeed in school and in the workplace, and move people toward financial stability.
In order to execute on these programs, UWBA partners with hundreds of nonprofits, churches,
local and national businesses, school districts, county and city governments, and other social
services organizations. Types of partnerships include grantee relationships, thought partners,
fellow service providers, and more. To achieve our goal to eliminate poverty, UWBA is recruiting
multi -sector partners to join the cutting poverty movement by utilizing a collective impact
framework, which requires a highly coordinated system of shared metrics, alignment of resources,
and a community roadmap to address large-scale problems.
D. Staff Experience --Describe the experience of key staff assigned to the program.
Kelly Batson is the Vice President of Program Operations. She began working with United Way
Bay Area in 2006, when she joined the Earn It! Keep It! Save It! team. She was the program director
for that program for 4 years and began to oversee the 211 program in summer 2015. She has
extensive program management, budgeting, fundraising, and supervising experience. In her
current role, she provides program oversight and strategic direction and is responsible for
fundraising and partner development.
Jay Hernandez is our Database Analyst. She has been with United Way Silicon Valley (now merged
with United Way Bay Area) for almost 20 years. She spent her first 10 years with United Way in
the accounting department, learning to appreciate systems and data. When 211 Santa Clara
County launched, she was intimately involved in the CPUC application and supported the team
with resource and database management. In her current role, she manages the resources for our
6 counties, ensuring we are building a robust database. She is also responsible for reporting and
data analysis.
Eruke Ohwofasa, our Outreach and Partnership Specialist, has been with United Way for almost
3 years. She spends most of her time out in the community with agency partners and potential
users of 211. In her current role, she is staying on top of developments in our county and making
sure we add new programs or agencies to our database among other partnership cultivation
activities.
E. Staffing Plan --Describe any anticipated staffing changes to occur during FY 2017/18.
We have plans to hire a 211 Program Manager by the end of Quarter 1. This Program Manager
will be responsible for partnership development in Santa Clara County in addition to database
alignment and fundraising.

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data
sources as appropriate.
While the west valley region of Santa Clara County is often perceived as affluent, approximately
21,350 individuals (11.17%) live in poverty in Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, West San Jose,
and Monte Sereno according to the U.S. Census. In Los Gatos alone, more than 4,000 men,
women and children are living in poverty. Rent increased in Silicon Valley by 8% between 2014
and 2016, straining household budgets and pushing families closer and closer to a financial
and/or housing crisis. At West Valley Community Services, requests for basic human needs such
as food, shelter, emergency financial aid, and housing assistance have increased year over year.
Furthermore, 80% of clients who seek services from West Valley Community Services are in
some form of financial crisis due to personal loans, high interest payday loans, credit card debt,
past due medical bills, or car repair bills. The high cost of living in Santa Clara County,
3
combined with the challenges created by growing personal debt, is creating enormous challenges
in our community and undermining the ability for our clients to meet their basic needs. The
community faces other challenges such as:
Lack of transportation for individuals without a car, who rely on public transportation, or who
are no longer able to drive.
• Lack of in -home care and supportive services for low income seniors unable to afford part or
full-time caregivers.
• Lack of affordable housing, which places significant stress on household budgets, impacts
individuals and seniors living on a fixed income, and undermines the diversity of our
communities.
CARE incorporates both case management and wrap around services to help at -risk and
vulnerable families manage crisis and stabilize in order to move towards self-sufficiency. The
target population of CARE includes seniors, families with children, at -risk youth and disabled
adults on extremely low income or fixed income. CARE also works with individuals and
families who are homeless or are at -risk of losing housing.
The focus of CARE is to ensure that the most vulnerable citizens in Santa Clara county are able
to have their basic hunger and housing needs met; to protect them from abuse; and to provide
access to healthcare and public benefits. Central to this focus is the case manager, who serves as
the client's advocate, coordinates supportive services, and serves as the conduit for accessing
other community benefits and programs. This helps clients navigate a complex system, and
helps them to overcome their sense of isolation and become valued citizens in their community.
CARE programs specific activities include the following:
°Case Management: Case management is a key component of CARE that focuses on
self-sufficiency with more stable and sustainable solutions. CARE case managers work with
clients to assess family needs by using an assessment tool that measures their vulnerability score
across varying domains, including housing, food security, and employment. Based on this
assessment, the case manager works with the client to develop a Self -Sufficiency plan with goals
to address critical family needs and move the individual from crisis to stability.
•Benefit Clinics: A one stop service which helps make the application for public assistance
benefit programs accessible for all. This service screens clients to see which benefits they are
qualified to receive such as food stamps, free/reduced fee lunches, Medicare and Medicaid.
Financial Coaching: West Valley Community Services provides financial literacy programs that
teach clients basic and essential budgeting and savings skills. Group workshops and individual
financial coaching are provided in conjunction with case management.
In Los Gatos, the CARE program will serve the most vulnerable population with a main focus on
4
senior citizens and the chronically homeless. Under the senior services component of CARE,
case managers will provide intensive case management to seniors including bi-weekly check -ins,
and coordination of services through our partners, including Live Oak Adult Day Services'
Senior Nutrition program, Sourcewise, the Health Trust and other local senior programs to
ensure that seniors are connected to available resources in their community. West Valley
Community Services is proposing to co -locate at the Live Oak site so that the case manager will
be connected to the high risk and low income seniors. West Valley Community Services will
develop a partnership with Live Oak Senior Nutrition program to provide case management at all
sites in Los Gatos including Villa Vasona. The CARE program will continue to provide outreach
at the Los Gatos Adult Recreation Services and has developed partnerships with Health Trust's
SPA program and the Caring about Resident Elders program in Los Gatos, who will be providing
direct referrals to CARE. CARE will also be available to Los Gatos residents from our Mobile
Food Pantry unit, located weekly in Los Gatos.
C. Direct Services
For Human Services and Arts, Culture and Education grant requests, list, describe, and quantify

C. Agency Experience —Describe the experience of your Agency in providing program
services.
West Valley Community Services, Inc. is a private non-profit, community based agency that has
been providing direct assistance and referral services in the West Valley communities of Los
Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Monte Sereno, West San Jose, and the unincorporated mountain
regions. For 40 years, we have been providing a continuum of basic needs, housing assistance
and family support services including: information and referrals, food, homeless services,
affordable housing, financial assistance and case management. Founded in 1973 by three public
health nurses, the Cupertino Roundup became incorporated as Cupertino Community Services in
1976. In 2008, we changed our name to West Valley Community Services to better reflect the
community we serve.
West Valley Community Services provides the most vital and basic human services to the Los
Gatos community's neediest individuals and families. West Valley Community Services has
implemented integral program improvements that transitioned the agency from a basic needs
provider to the West Valley's premier comprehensive social services organization. In addition to
distributing basic needs services, West Valley Community Services focuses on providing
intensive case management to each client and ensuring access to a continuum of services to
provide a strong foundation for those who have been threatened with hunger and homelessness.
Last year, West Valley Community Services assisted 2,230 individuals facing a hunger or
housing crisis in our community. We provided groceries, household items, diapers and personal
care items to 1,223 individuals, and distributed more than 672,380 pounds of food through our
pantry. In addition, we helped clients avoid homelessness by providing $167,869 in emergency
fmancial assistance for rent, utilities, and apartment deposits.
D. Staff Experience --Describe the experience of key staff assigned to the program.

Community Services staffto ensure appropriate financial and programmatic transparency to
support the organization's core mission.
The West Valley Community Services staff and volunteer core are bi-lingual and multicultural.
The agency intake form is available in English, Chinese, and Spanish, Vietnamese, and Russian.
Throughout West Valley Community Services' 44-year history of providing basic need and case
management services to assist clients to retain housing to prevent homelessness and
displacement, there have been program and organizational procedures in place for quality
8
assurance. In the past five years since West Valley Community Services has moved towards an
intensive case management model, institutional policies and procedures for quality service
delivery has been implemented. Some of these policies include weekly group case consultation
and review, weekly individual staff supervision, file/documentation review, clinical training, and
program training. Case management staff is required to participate and comply with the quality
assurance standards set by West Valley Community Services and fenders. In addition, West

B. Community Need Statement
Describe briefly the demonstrated need in the Los Gatos community for the program. Cite data sources as
appropriate.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, it is estimated that nationally 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men
will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. Domestic violence is one of the leading causes of
homelessness for women and children in the United States, and in Santa Clara County. The U.S.
Department of Justice reports that one in four homeless women are homeless because of violence
committed against her. Here at home, according to the 2015 Santa Clara County Point -in -Time Count
Report, nearly half of respondents of families with children reported having experienced domestic
violence (47%). Sadly, each year in Santa Clara County, over 2100 requests for emergency shelter and
3
housing assistance for domestic violence victims often go unmet.
Domestic violence affects individuals in a variety of ways: physically, emotionally, mentally and
financially. Domestic violence can greatly impact an individual's everyday life. Victims' work and school
performance can suffer, and victims can develop detrimental health behaviors such as alcohol
dependency, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Domestic violence is also directly linked to mental
health issues such as the development of mood, personality, or behavioral disorders. This can include
depression, post -traumatic stress disorder, manic-depressive disorder and dependence personality
disorder.
Domestic violence is a lethal criminal justice and public health issue that poses serious problems for
Town of Los Gatos residents —including its children. A national survey of American families reported 50
percent of the men who frequently abused their intimate partners also frequently abused their children.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, "Witnessing violence between one's
parents or caretakers is the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to
the next."
