Project Need. The Midway City Community Services and Education Center serves a vital need in the urban County because it serves low to moderate-income, limited English speaking residents who would not have local access to services that promote health, education and economic self-sufficiency in culturally and linguistically relevant ways. According to 2017 Census information, the median household income of Midway City residents ranges between $0 and $45,568 with 25% below $25,000; and 20.6% of families living at or below the poverty level. The majority of the population is 28% Hispanic, 48% Asian, 38% White and 11% African American/Native American and other races. According to the U.S. Census Bureau information, 70.7% have households where a language other than English is spoken at home.
Project Need. This funding will secure resources for the Subrecipient’s single-family housing rehabilitation program known as the Home Enhancement Loan Program or HELP II (the “Program”).

Project Need. Colette’s Children’s Home target population are those considered the hardest to serve and include criminal offenders, with a history of incarceration, who are on probation or parole, and are addicts, alcoholics, victims of domestic violence and human trafficking, attending drug court or family court, are unemployed, with low or no income, no transportation, and no support system. They have limited or no formal higher education with limited or no viable employment skills. They are homeless single female head of households who benefit from stable housing in a structured environment providing intensive intervention, direction, guidance, motivation, and accountability. Colette’s Children’s Home is unique in that they are one of the few housing and service providers in Orange County that serve women with these or other challenges making it difficult to find shelter. 100% of the clients they serve are below the low to moderate income range with most falling into the extremely low-income range. They prioritize clients who are literally homeless; living on the streets, in vehicles or coming from emergency shelters. Their goal for each client is to enhance and provide a suitable living environment for them to help get them on the road to self-sufficiency. This project is needed to increase the county’s capacity to provide housing for homeless and low income individuals.
Project Need. Describe in sufficient detail the need for the project and why BRC funds are necessary. Include any other funding options that have been pursued for this project.

Project Need. The Brea Senior Center, exceeding 100 years of age while serving approximately 52,000 seniors annually, is in need of kitchen improvements in order for it to remain an efficient, accessible, functional and safe environment for the increasing number of low-income seniors and the community it serves. The longstanding building provides a safe setting for seniors to participate in many activities and services geared towards their needs, including nutrition. The kitchen at the Senior Center is used by staff and senior volunteers at least five days per week to prepare and service a hot, nutritious lunch. The home-delivered meals program also utilizes the kitchen. Both programs heavily rely on senior volunteers who are in and out of the kitchen for hours at a time. The kitchen is in need of many improvements so that it is more easily accessible, functional, safe, well ventilated, and is space efficient considering increasing demands.
