IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The County has estimated that $57,715 in CDBG funds will be available to the City in
the fall of 2014. This estimate is equal to the final adjusted figure for the 2013 fiscal
year minus a 10% reduction due to anticipated Federal budget cutbacks to the CDBG
program. Similar to last year, the County will help administer the public service grants
for the City which will reduce City staff time involved. County staff will be paid through
the CDBG program funds allocated to the City.
BACKGROUND:
On May 24, 2011, the City Council approved a Cooperative Agreement with the County
of San Luis Obispo for the joint participation in the CDBG Program for fiscal years 2012
through 2014. The City, as a participant in the Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
designated Urban County program, receives an annual formula-based allocation of
CDBG funds. These funds are available for a variety of Community Development
activities as long as the activities meet at least one of three national objectives. The
objectives are:
1. Benefit low-and moderate-income persons;
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or
3. Address urgent community development needs that pose a serious or immediate
threat to public health or welfare.
The County distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP) and notified the public that the
County and participating cities would accept applications for funding until October 15,
2013. In addition, City and County staff held a "Needs Assessment Workshop" on
October 2, 2013 to gather input from the public regarding the allocation of CDBG funds.
The second CDBG public workshop is scheduled for January 20, 2014 at Arroyo
Grande City Hall.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Staff has prepared its recommendations using the following criteria set forth by the
County in the RFP:
1. Consistency with Federal regulations and laws;
2. Community support (for example, approval of project by a city council);
3. Seriousness of community development need proposed to be addressed by
project;
Item 9.a. - Page 2
CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
PROJECTS FOR YEAR 2014
DECEMBER 10, 2013

4. Degree to which project benefits low-income and very low-income families or
persons;
5. Feasibility of the project to be completed as budgeted and by December 31,
2014;
6. Cost effectiveness of funds requested and leveraging of other funds; and
7. Organization's experience or knowledge regarding CDBG or HOME
requirements.
The Cooperative Agreement between the County and the City gives discretion
· regarding allocation of funds. Unless the City's recommendation to the County for
funding is clearly in conflict with CDBG regulations, the County will approve the
recommendation. The final decision for funding priority will occur in February 2014.
Public Services
The competitiveness for public services funds, which is capped at 15 percent, is
historically strong and requests far exceed available funds ($25,000 is requested and
$8,657 is available). Due to the competition for these limited funds, the additional
funding criteria below are used as a guideline to establish staff's recommendation:
Priority in funding consideration has been given to programs that provide the best
combination of the following program characteristics:
• The provision of basic human needs. Services rated highest include those
providing food, shelter, clothing, urgent medical or crisis care, and basic
children's security. Moderate ranking includes those programs providing youth
· services, social support, and non-urgent medical care.
• Provide needed services to the residents of the City of Arroyo Grande.
• Support a demonstrated need for services within the City of Arroyo Grande
based upon program action in prior years.
• Derive a majority of program funding from local entities and donations.
• Have demonstrated proportional and fair funding requests to other agencies
within the County.
• Would incur severe budget shortfalls if funding from the City of Arroyo Grande
would be withheld or drastically curtailed.
• Provide services at the County level but no local facilities exist.
• Have demonstrated the timely and efficient use of previous CDBG funds. This
standard is important since HUD and the County has mandated timely spending
of funds with one year of availability.
As discussed last year when Council considered the 2013 CDBG allocations, HUD has
significantly increased its monitoring efforts of jurisdictions participating in the CDBG
program, which means that local jurisdictions must increase their monitoring efforts of
recipients as well. According to County staff, the cost to properly monitor a given CDBG
activity is approximately $8,000. Therefore, it is important to limit the overall number of
Item 9.a. - Page 3
CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
PROJECTS FOR YEAR 2014
DECEMBER 10, 2013
PAGE4
allocations and to award activities that either individually or cumulatively receive greater
than $10,000 in CDBG funding.
The City received a total of two (2) applications: One (1) from Community Action
Partnership of San Luis Obispo County, Inc. (CAPSLO) for their Adult Wellness and
Prevention Screening Program, and one (1) from the Senior Nutrition Program of San
Luis Obispo County. Due to the decrease in CDBG funding this year and the necessary
increase in monitoring efforts described above, staff is recommending that the Adult
Wellness and Prevention Screening Program through CAPSLO be partially funded and
that no funding be allocated to the Senior Nutrition Program of SLO County. Of the two
public service applications, staff believes the Adult Wellness and Prevention Screening
Program best satisfies the screening criteria. This health-related. program has a
widespread impact to the community by keeping low-income and seniors healthy, and
the requested amount ($10,000) is close to the estimated funds available ($8,657).
Recommended funding $8,657 ($10,000 requested); Adult Wellness and
Prevention Screening (Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo
County, Inc.) -This program provides a mobile health clinic for low-income, uninsured,
and underinsured adults with free preventive and maintenance health screening,
education, advocacy and referral for adults within the County. 96% of the clients are
seniors.
Recommended funding $0 ($15,000 requested); Senior Nutrition Program of San
Luis Obispo County -This program provides hot nutritionally balanced meals for
seniors.
Public Facilities
Staff recommends allocating $25,401 to assist in Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
improvements by removing architectural barriers within the public right-of-way and to
City-owned public facilities. This may include ADA ramps, sidewalk improvements or
other ADA related improvements to public facilities. Final determination of ADA
improvements will be coordinated with the City's Sidewalk Improvement Plan and other
Capital Improvement Programs. This funding is important to assist the City in achieving
compliance with ADA requirements.
The Lucia Mar Unified School District submitted an application for $205,000 to make
various ADA accessibility repairs to Arroyo Grande High School and Ocean View
Elementary School as follows:
Arroyo Grande High School:
• Repair and re-finish the asphalt surface which is the accessibility path of travel to
the sports field stadium and complex ($181,000). ·
• Sidewalk replacement at various locations ($10,000).
Item 9.a. - Page 4
CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
PROJECTS FOR YEAR 2014
DECEMBER 10, 2013 ·
PAGES
Ocean View Elementary School:
• · Replacement of main entrance sidewalk ($6,000).
• Replace asphalt to the main playfield ($8,000).
This _is the first CDBG application that the City has received from the School District.
Given the numerous ADA projects. that the City is responsible for implementing, the
limited CDBG funds available for ADA improvements, and the large request from the
School District, staff does not recommend allocating funds to the School District.
Economic Development
The City did not receive any requests for economic development projects.
Elimination of Slums and Blight
Efforts related to the elimination of slums and blight is limited to a 30 percent area
benefit cap ($17,314). Because of the ongoing demand for participation in the fa9ade
grant program, staff recommends funding of $15,000.
Administration and Planning
Funds requested for the administration of the CDBG program have decreased in direct
proportion to the overall decrease in the City's CDBG funding, even though HUD
administrative requirements are increasing. Staff re~ommends allocating $8,657 for
program administration, which is 15% of total funds (the cap is 20%, or $11,543). Staff
has established a real time billing arrangement with the County of San Luis Obispo to
assist with administration efforts. Therefore, a portion of the funds will reimburse the
City for staff time and a portion will be used to contract with the County to administer the
public service grants once approved. Note that the proposed funding of $8,657 is close
to the amount the City spent on both City and County administration costs in 2013.
Two primary issues have been identified for Council consideration when evaluating the
alternatives. First, one of the City's highest priorities is addressing Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility deficiencies. Despite dedicating a combination of
Local Sales Tax and CDBG funds to this need each year, a substantial number of
improvements are still necessary in order to ensure an_ adequate level of accessibility
throughout the City's streets, sidewalks and facilities. Staff is currently updating the
City's ADA compliance plan and prioritizing future projects. While there is a maximum
amount of funding that can be expended on public services, there is no requirement to
expend any of the funding in this category. As a result, the City Council could deem
ADA accessibility the City's top priority for this funding and then dedicate funding from
public services and some of the facade improvement funds to this program. By doing
so, it is estimated that that CDBG funds for ADA improvements could be increased to
approximately $44,000. This could result in overall funding of approximately $64,000
Item 9.a. - Page 5

PROJECTS FOR YEAR 2014 -

annually when combined with Local Sales Tax funds, which could have a signifi,cant
impact on this program.
The second issue is that the City Council expressed frustration last year regarding the
inability to award smaller public service grants to multiple applicants. Applications
dropped off significantly this year so this may no longer be an issue. One suggestion
made was to fund other City projects with ADA funds and then take the City funding
saved and instead use it for public service grants, which would no longer have the
Federal restrictions attached. The concern with this approach is that it would likely
require use of Local Sales Tax funds for purposes it was not originally intended.
ADVANTAGES:
The recommended allocations fund important City priorities. At the same time, it
allocates funding for priority public s-ervice requests to fund meaningful amounts and
reduce administrative staff time. The recommendations are consistent with the past
approach that has been recommended and approved in allocating these funds.
DISADVANTAGES:
The recommendations result in unfunded requests from two organizations: CAPSLO
(Senior Nutrition Program) and Lucia Mar Unified School District (ADA improvements).
The proposal also does not maximize the funding that could be targeted for City needs
to increase accessibility for the disabled, which is a high priority and serious need.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
-Approve staff's recommended preliminary funding for CDBG programs for the
year 2014;
Modify staff's recommended funding for CDBG public service programs to
include other public service requests;
Eliminate funding for public service requests and reduce funding for fa9ade
improvements to increase funding for City ADA projects. It is suggested the
Council consider an option of transferring the $8,657 from public services and
$10,000 from fa9ade grants to public facility projects. Given the strict ADA
requirements and the large inventory of ADA deficiencies located within the City's
right-of-way and other public facilities, correcting these deficiencies is a City
priority. This would provide a total of $44,058 in CDBG funds for ADA
improvements.
The Council may also consider using local sales tax revenues to fund Public
Service requests in lieu of CDBG funds, which would eliminate the restrictions on
size of grants; or
Provide direction to staff.

possible, e.g. street address). For programs, state the location from which the program will be
operated and/or describe the geographic area served by the program. Also, please include a schedule
of project/program milestones.
The Adult Wellness and Prevention Screening (Adult Wellness) Program is a mobile health clinic that
provides low-income, uninsured, and underinsured adults with quality, accessible and free preventive and
maintenance health screening, education, advocacy and referral regarding important health issues for a
vulnerable and growing population. A part-time Program Coordinator/Registered Nurse (RN) and Aide
Clerk bring equipment, supplies, and a laptop computer for data collection at each clinic site. Services
include:
• Screenings: depression; blood pressure; pulse and weight monitoring; hemoglobin; blood glucose; and
cholesterol. The specific screenings provided by the program are vital; results may show increased risk
of cardiovascular disease and/or other chronic diseases, such as diabetes. Often there are no systems
indicating that the individual has a developing or occurring health issue. If these health risks are left
unmonitored or untreated, they could be fatal or lead to hospitalization.
• Education topics: diet; exercise; healthy aging; lifestyle modification; reinforcement of medication
compliance; appropriate use of hospital emergency rooms; and bereavement issues.
• Referrals: medical, social, legal, counseling, and other referrals are made as appropriate.
• Advocacy/Personalized care: Patient data is tracked and monitored so that clients receive individualized
services. In addition, the RN advocates for clients by contacting referral sources on their behalf. For
example, the RN will contact a physician's office to ensure that a patient receives a timely appointment.
Though the program serves all adults, 96% of clients are seniors ages 55 and over. Although medically
one of the most vulnerable segments of the population, seniors are often unable to afford or have access to
a doctor. The Adult Wellness Program is committed to ensuring that seniors have access to free services
which help maintain their health, independence, and quality of life, potentially avoiding premature and
costly institutionalization. Staff promotes behaviors and activities that focus on reaching and maintaining
optimal health and stability, helps identify possible health problems, offers support and social interaction for
clients, and teaches clients to become active participants in their own health care.
Services are provided at 17 sites located throughout the county, including three in Arroyo Grande:
, • Cayucos Senior Center, 200 So. Ocean Ave., Cayucos

6. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program is not funded in
the next year?
Obtaining funding for the Adult Wellness Program has been challenging and the program is currently
experiencing a $32,296 deficit for the 2013-2014 year. The program collaborates with the Community
Health Centers and the Noor Clinic, both of which currently have long wait times for services and with the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) coming, are bracing to have even longer wait times. There is increased urgency
for these organizations to have options for patients that may not have immediate needs -and the Adult
Wellness Program is the only such countywide option. Without funding from CDBG, City of Arroyo Grande,
the program's service areas will most likely have to be reduced.
Significant economic and demographic factors also support the need for this program. While SLO County
is ranked towards the middle of California counties in size, it is experiencing a growth rate in senior citizens
that far outpaces the majority of the state. According to the California Department of Aging, between 1990
and 2020, SLO County will see a 100-149% increase in the elderly population, ages 60 and over, and a
200-299% increase in those 85 and over. This is a significantly greater growth rate than that of Los
Angeles. San Diego. and the Bay Area (SLO County Senior Symposium Final Report 2025).

As adults age, their needs change. This places greater pressure on social services, health institutions, and
public services as well as influences the drivers of the local economy. Of the 2013 Adult Wellness clients
surveyed, 51.3% reported that other than the Adult Wellness clinics they had no other sources of ·
preventive and/or maintenance health services -often putting off receiving any care until the issue
becomes an emergency.
The ACA, which will be implemented in 2014, will increase the number of county residents with health
insurance; however local primary care providers state that they are already inundated with patients and are
voicing their concern about the impact the ACA will have in terms of increased utilization of services -
especially in specialty care. In addition, while more low-income individuals will qualify for Medi-Cal under
the ACA, due to low reimbursement rates (San Luis Obispo is considered "rural"), there will not be enough
providers accepting this form of insurance to meet the need. SLO County currently has a severe shortage
of primary care physicians -54 per 100,000 compared to the state's rate of 60-80. There is major concern
among local healthcare providers that the increased demand for services will a) make obtaining primary
care even more difficult, and b) increase wait times to schedule appointments and longer wait times in the
doctor's lobby and exam rooms.
The two main sources for primary health care services for low-income community members, the
Community Health Care Centers of the Central Coast (CHC) and the Noor Free Clinic, which operates only
eight hours per week, already have long wait times to see patients: anywhere from three weeks for CHC to
three months for the Noor Clinic. Once an appointment is secured, the time given to patients is usually no
more than 10 minutes. One patient of the Adult Wellness Program shared her experience at one of these
primary health care clinics: "For a three week wait to get in, a 30-minute bus ride, an hour wait in the lobby
and exam room, I was given maybe 10 minutes with the physician's assistant. I didn't have time to talk
with her about all of my issues before I was ushered out ... and I had to take the entire day off work."
Adult Wellness assists in alleviating the strain on the local health care system by: 1) ensuring that those
who have potentially critical health issues are assisted in accessing treatment in a timely manner; and 2)
seeing patients who do not require immediate assistance -thus reducing wait times for appointments and
in the physician's office. By managing chronic conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, more costly
doctor/emergency room visits and lab tests are avoided.
Other than the Adult Wellness Program there are no other countywide programs that provide this type of
regular, mobile service to low-income adults.
7. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the proposed
project or program (single or multiple group, public agency, non-profit, for-profit,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
Since 1972, CAPSLO's Health and Prevention Division has successfully and cost-efficiently administered a
multitude of federal, state, local, and private foundation grants. The Division implements results-oriented
activities professionally and effectively, complies with reporting and fiscal requirements in a timely manner,
and conducts program evaluations to ensure effectiveness and continuous program improvement.
Program administration of the Adult Wellness Program is provided by the Program
Coordinator/RN, Health and Prevention Division Director, and the Planning Department. A contracted
physician is available for consultation.
The program's long-standing and productive relationships with city and county governments, private
agencies, and community coalitions have enabled it to be in operation for 35 years and enjoy an excellent
reputation among county adults and health professionals alike. Adult Wellness collaborates with a total of
44 for-profit and nonprofit entities. The Program Coordinator is extremely knowledgeable regarding

assistance they need in regards to where to obtain affordable health care services; where to get the lowest
priced prescription medications; where to acquire food assistance or delivery services; depression and
bereavement counseling; assistance with utility payments; assistance with grocery shopping or completing
chores around the house; transportation assistance; and more. She recognizes that making the initial
phone call for needed services can be difficult; if she is concerned that a patient will not seek further
guidance, she will make direct contact to the program/service. She follows through with patients regarding
the referrals and services provided. These are services that their current physicians are unable to provide
them, due to their increasing caseloads, yet it is exactly the type of services needed by senior patients who
often need the extra time.

11. Who are the clients of your organization? (Example: low-to moderate-income persons, elderly
persons, severely disabled persons, migrant farm workers, battered spouses, etc.)
The Adult Wellness Program's primary target populations are low-to moderate-income adults, ages 40 and
over, who either do not have a primary care physician or cannot regularly visit their physician because of
cost, lack of affordable/accessible transportation, language, and/or increased frailty. Ninety-three percent
of clients were at or below the Federal Poverty Level and 52% were single persons. Those living alone are
a vulnerable group; they are more likely than those living with one or more persons to have a higher rate of
self-reported physical impairments and have a lower annual income.
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
From July 1, 2014 -June 30, 2015, clients are projected to benefit from the Adult Wellness Program in the
following ways:
Outputs
1. A minimum of 550 unduplicated participants will receive one or more health screenings at an Adult
Wellness clinic, of which a minimum of 80 unduplicated participants will receive services through Arroyo
Grande clinics.
2. A minimum of 950 clinic visits will be provided at 17 Adult Wellness sites throughout San Luis Obispo
County, of which 136 visits will be provided through Arroyo Grande clinics.
3. A minimum of 2,900 units of service (including screening tests, counseling, education, and referrals) will
be provided at 17 Adult Wellness clinics, of which 490 units will be provided through Arroyo Grande
clinics.
Outcomes
1. 85% of participants will access the Adult Wellness clinic because of its convenient location and/or low-
cost screenings.
2. 90% of returning participants will report an improvement in their physical and/or mental health due to the
health education, screening, and/or referrals they receive from an Adult Wellness clinic.
3. 90% of returning participants will report an improvement in their cholesterol, blood sugar, and/or blood
pressure levels. ~
To fully comprehend how vital the program is to our community it's important to learn about individual client
successes:
"Olivia," a 75 year old Hispanic woman came to the clinic which was being held in the lobby of the senior
apartment complex she resided in. She had not been to a doctor in more than four years because she did
not have transportation and was not aware 'or transportation options to get to her doctor's office. The

program nurse discovered that her blood pressure was high and her blood sugar was dangerously high.
The nurse explained the importance of seeing a doctor and wrote a note explaining her findings as well as
helped her access senior transportation services. At the next clinic, one month later, Olivia shared' with the
nurse that she saw her doctor who immediately placed her on medication for both her blood pressure and
blood sugar. Olivia is now being monitored for both and will see the doctor again in a few months.
The following comments provided by Adult Wellness patients in client surveys also illustrate the benefits of
the program:
o "I have no other means of having this testing done. It's the only care I have had for five years. I am
very grateful."
o "Heather (program nurse) took the time with me to help me better understand my medications and why
it was so important not to skip them. I let her know that I was skipping them because I couldn't afford
them and so she helped me apply for a program to get my medicine for a cheaper price. I don't know
what I would have done if she hadn't helped me."
13. If your project serves homeless households, please describe how your program coordinates
with other continuum of care projects and entities and how it aligns with the San Luis Obispo
Countywide 10-Year Plan to Homelessness.

20. How do you plan to fund the operation and maintenance costs (if any) associated with this
project? Are these funds available now? If not, when will they be available? And from what
source(s)?
All funds received are for general operating support of the Adult Wellness Program. Cost-efficiency is
enhanced by the ability to utilize churches, senior centers, low-income housing sites, and community
centers for screenings. Currently, for the 2013-2014 program year, not all funding has been secured and
Adult Wellness is waiting to hear back from the Wells Fargo Foundation (see table in section #21). The
program should ·e.e notified regarding funding before the end of the year. Regarding 2014-2015 funding,
City of Pismo Beach, City and County of San Luis Obispo grants, Community Foundation, and Wells Fargo
grants will be applied to at the beginning of the 2014 calendar year. These sources have supported the
program for many years and we anticipate that they will do so for the 2014-2015 fiscal year.

Title: Ongoing program support
Name: Senior Nutrition Program of San Luis Obispo County
Address: 2180 Johnson Avenue
San Luis Obispo, CA 9340 I
3. Please describe the proposed project or program. In one or two short paragraphs, include a
brief project/program description, the groups who will benefit and an explanation of ho~ they will benefit
from the proposed project or program. For projects, describe the location of the projeCt (be as specific
as possible, e.g. street address). For programs, state the location from which the program will be
operated and/or describe the geographic area served by the program. Also, please include a schedule
of project/program milestones.
The Senior Nutrition Program of SLO County provides free, hot, nutritious noon-tim~ meals to
seniors who are at least 60 years old. Seniors who are able to attend can eat meals at ~ 0
community sites throughout the county in congregate dining. We also deliver meals, with frozen
meals for Saturday and Sunday, to qualified seniors who are homebound. We rely on over 250
volunteers to deliver meals. We are the only program serving senior meals throughout San Luis
Obispo County and the only program that includes congregate dining and an opportunity for
I
socialization among the seniors. All of our meals are free to those who are eligi"ble, aJthough
some clients choose to make voluntary anonymous donations. Our program has thred goals:
nutrition, socialization, and safety. Both the congregate dining and the home delivery provide
socialization and human contact to help break the cycle of isolation. Finally, the daily home
deliveries by volunteers, along with regular assessments by site supervisors, provide both
friendly human contact and a safety net from accidents or physical or financial abuse. All staff
and volunteers are mandated to report ~y suspected abuse. Currently, we are based in the former
County Hospital complex in San Luis Obispo where we are able to prepare all our meals in the
former hospital's kitchen and handle our administrative needs in a small adjacent office.
This past fiscal year, July 2012-June 2013, SNP prepared and delivered 146,309
meals to 1633 senior residents of San Luis Obispo County.
We are requesting the CDBG grant funding to help us maintain the high quality of otir program
and services. SNP gets half (50%) of the needed funding to operate the program from state and
federal sources. We must raise the other half, $600,000 annually, through fundraising,
donations, and local grants. CDBG grant money will be used as a matching fund for the federal
grant.
4. Will the services offered by your organization increase or expand as a result of the CDBG

6. Describe the need and the degree of urgency for the proposed project or program.
What would be the consequences if the proposed project or program· is not funded in
the next year?
Without funding in the next year for our program, we would be forced to cut back on existing
services to our clients and turn away new clients. Senior Nutrition Program is proud of the level
of service we are able to provide and the number of seniors we are able to serve in our program.
However, our costs continue to rise, especially in the areas of food, labor costs, supplies, and gas
and maintenance for our delivery trucks. Additionally, we constantly receive requests from new
clients who want to participate in our program, especially among those who are homebound. The
home-delivered meals cost more to the program than the congregate meals. In order to maintain
our high level of service and program quality, we urgently need financial support froin local
agencies.
7. Please describe the specific organizational method used to implement the: proposed
project or program (single or multiple group, public agency, non-profit, for-profit,
experience in operating similar programs, etc.):
Senior Nutrition Program has operated in San Luis Obispo County, CA, for over 25 years. We are a
non-profit corporation that consists of a volunteer board of directors, dedicated staff of 8 full-time
and 18 part-time employees, and over 250 volunteers.
The process we use to provide hot, nutritious meals is as follows:
• Assessment of potential clients is determined at the initial application process. It is also
determined if there are other health issues, nutritional risks and limitations. When needed, we
will refer potential clients to other appropriate agencies.
• Our registered dietician prepares a menu of delicious and nutritious meals every month
that follows all health and dietary restrictions. Under the guidance of our experienced kitchen
manager, meals are prepared by trained staff in the central kitchen. Additionally, we supplement

our kitchen staff through a collaborative program with three youth organizations whose
participants learn employable kitchen skills. .
• Two drivers deliver food to 10 community sites each weekday in refrigerated trucks. Site
managers, with the help of volunteers, heat and serve food to our dining room clients. They also
pack meals that are picked up by volunteers from the sites to be delivered to the homebound five
days a week. Two additional frozen meals are delivered on Fridays to homebound clients to see
them through the weekend.
• SNP delivers meals to the City of San Luis Obispo, the Five Cities (Arroyo Grande,
Oceano, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and Nipomo ), Los Osos/Baywood Park, Morro Bay,
Cambria, Atascadero, Santa Margarita, Templeton, and Paso Robles.
• SNP maintains daily records of every meal and every client served. On any day of the
year, we will be able to compare the cost-to-date of our food purchases for the fiscal year vs. last
year by the number of clients and the number of meals and also by the number of homebound
meals and the number of congregate meals.
SNP leadership focuses on effectively managing our costs, maintaining meticulous records, and
planning and preparing the highest quality meals for our seniors. Following is a brief biography
of our leaders:
• Elias Nim.eh, Executive Director, has been the director of SNP for 8 years. He has a B. Sc.
degree in Agronomy from Arizona State University and 40-plus years' experience in the restaurant
business. He owned and operated a local business, Tortilla Flats, Inc., for 20 years.
• Irene Palacios, Kitchen Director, has been with the program for over 30 years and followed a
steady progression of increasing responsibilities and promotions until reaching her current position as
Kitchen Director approximately 27 years ago.
• Wendy Fertscbneider, Nutritionist, has a degree in Dietetics and Food Administration from
Cal Poly SLO. She has been with the program for over IS years in a variety of positions. Currently she
works part-time as our Registered Dietician, which is required for this program, writing and approving
menus, providing staff training and nutrition education, and serving as advisory council facilitator.
• Additionally, interns from Cal Poly and Cuesta College assist our office staff. A group of
approximately 35 volunteers, the Friends of Senior Nutrition Program, have the primary
responsibility for planning and putting on our annual fund-raising event, the Night of a Million
Meals.

11. Who are the clients of your organization? (Example: low-to moderate-income persons, elderly
persons, severely disabled persons, migrant farm workers, battered spouses, etc.)
Elderly persons
Low-to moderate-income persons
Disabled persons
12. How will the clients benefit from this project?
The main benefit will be that seniors will continue to receive hot, nutritious meals at lunchtime
five days a week. Food insecurity among seniors is a growing problem nationwide, and our
county is no exception. Improved nutrition also brings improved health for our aging population,
which could reduce the strain on public health services. This project will increase independent
living for seniors. Seniors who might otherwise need to leave their homes because they can no
longer prepare meals will have an increased chance of staying in their homes. Research has
shown that' seniors who can stay in their own homes frequently experience less depression than
those in nursing homes. The project will also provide a safety net for these seniors, whether
homebound or dining at the centers. For the homebound, the volunteer drivers provide a daily
contact, and the site manager checks frequently. The program's delivery people, all volunteers,
are trained to recognize situations which may require emergency or law enforcement assistance.
13. If your project serves homeless households, please describe how your program coordinates
with other continuum of care projects and entities and how it aligns with the San Luis Obispo
Countywide 10-Year Plan to Homelessness.
Several of our congregate sites in the county serve homeless seniors. The daily meals they receive will
help in improving and maintaining good health and reducing their dependence on emergency facilities.
BENEFICIARY DATA
NOTE: You are reauired to provide beneficiary data at the end of each quarter and year end data of
the fiscal year.
14. How do you collect demographic data on the beneficiaries of the proposed project or program?
(Example: raciaUethnic characteristics)
SNP collects this information through the application process for each client and updates all
applicable data quarterly for all homebound clients. For congregate clients information is
updated annually.
15. How do you document and maintain income status of each client in compliance with HUD
