Must live within Tarrant County limits as demonstrated by the Tarrant Appraisal District(TAD). Incomes will be assessed by collecting paystubs for time period that service is being requested. Example, if beneficiary requests assistance in July for an arrears payment of June, they must provide documentation that they met the 80% of AMI income guidelines in June. If paystubs are not available, an equivalent employer verification form may be submitted. Official award letters will also be required such as Social Security, VA Benefits, SSDI, etc. Beneficiaries that claim no income will be required to complete a certification of no income. Service connected disability income will not be counted towards the income calculation. Veterans with "entry level honorable discharge" status will be eligible for services under"General Under Honorable Conditions" status.

(Maximum allowable characters � 1500) United Way of Tarrant County's 2015 Annual 211 Report stated that the number 1 and 2 unmet needs for veterans were electric service payment and rent payment assistance. Out of this unmet need, 58%was due to no resources or resources being depleted. A Needs Assessment for Veterans in the Dallas-Fort Worth Region states that housing accounts for 33.1% of the average annual household expenditures in the area and the cost of living exceeds the national aver-age by 8.352%. This demonstrates a need for assistance, particularly with housing costs, for all persons liv-Ing in the DFW area, including veterans. This same study states that in 2014 the VA spent nearly $2.5 bil-lion on veterans in the DFW region, representing nearly 16.6% of the VA's overall spending in Texas. This level of spending represents approximately$6,226 per veteran, however, it is below the national average of$7,364 per veteran, which again represents a need for assistance for Tarrant County veterans. Additionally, a study conducted in 2016 for the Texas Veteran Commission determined that the North Texas Area had a gap of services especially for families of veterans. The study indicated there was an unmet need of 72%for rent/mortgage and utility assistance for veterans; and a 56% unmet need for rentimortgage and utility assistance for their families. How were community need(s) or gap(s) in service identified? Describe the methods used to identify the need in th-eservice_a_r_ea_. (Maximum allowable characters = 1500) •The United Way of Tarrant County's 2015 Annual; 211 Report served as the source data "the number 1 and 2 unmet needs for veterans". This is the most recently published report. •The Needs Assessment,Veterans in the Dallas-Fort Worth Region, by Katherine Kidder, Amy Schafer & Phillip Carter from the Center for a New American Security, published date of March 29, 2016 provided data for living expenses and subsidy amounts. • Unmet needs in the North Texas Region was identified by reviewing the Statewide Needs Assess-meat conducted by Texas State University for the Texas Veterans Commission in April of 2016. How does the Proposed Project address the identified need(s) or gap(s) in the service area? (Maximum allowable characters : 1500) The Forward Home Veteran Assistance Program will help to fulfill the unmet needs identified by United Way. At the time the report was written, the Forward Home Program did not exist, with the award of these funds, veterans will have another source of assistance to go to. Additionally, the program will provide emergency financial assistance to veterans and their families which will assist with the rising costs of housing. Although some veteran families may be able to afford their day-to-day expenses, they may not be able to mitigate an emergency situation, the Forward Home program will help to alleviate some of that pressure and fill in some of the service gaps identified by the Texas Veterans Commission. How is the Proposed Project unique from other similar services that may be available in the proposed service area Be spe_.cilic with det�€i.ls at�e��t what sets_yaur P_r_oposed._Project_�prt. (Maximurn allowable characters = 150D) The Forward Home Veteran Assistance Program is unique because currently there are no other programs in the area that provide financial assistance to all veterans and their families regardless of era, branch of eq. ' Page 13 of 18 Y �. Fund for Veterans' Assistance GUMH1WOH service, duty status and specific character of discharge. Additionally, most service providers have caps or restrictions with no arrear assistance. Rental/mortgage assistance is very limited in Tarrant County creating the possibility of veterans and their families becoming homeless. The program will be administered by the Community Action Partners Program which provides a unique opportunity for additional supportive services depending on the veteran's household income.

Once beneficiaries complete the eligibility process, their energy needs will be met immediately by providing payment to their utility company and therefore avoiding service disruptions.

Referrals are made through the partners mentioned above and through internal sections as well. Social media will also be used, i.e. Facebook, twitter, etc. How often are marketing and outreach activities conducted? (Maxims€rn allowable characters = 'i 000) Marketing and outreach activities are conducted monthly.We attend the bi-monthly resource round-up CLC, Inc. hosts. We also attend the IWAG (Inter-Agency Workforce Group) monthly meetings. The CAP and City social media sites are constantly updated with our current programs. Flyers are printed and provided at all of our CAP offices as well as taken to our partnering agencies. Our Communications Department also posts the flyers on the NextDoor app as well as make announcements on their Community Engagement Bulletin. Sustainability after the Grant If the organization is awarded an FVA grant, would the Proposed Project continue after the grant period ends if ithe organization does not receive additional FVA tending? checked If yes, describe how the Proposed Project will continue. Include what other funding will be available to the organization and what other organizations will be partnering or working to carry on the work of the Proposed Project after the grant period ends. (Maximum allowable characters = 1500) Veterans would still receive services with current funds, however, these funds provide the flexibility to serve beneficiaries who have higher levels of income. The current income limits for most CAP programs are 125-150% of Poverty Guidelines,without these funds, beneficiaries failing over these income guidelines but under the 80% of AMI would be denied. Additionally, mortgage assistance would not be available, as this is currently the only source of funds that provides mortgage assistance through CAP. If the organization has received FVA funding in the past for the Proposed Project, describe why it is applying for- a grant again.

These grant have been crucial in providing essential services to our veterans. They have ensured that our veterans are able to remain housed and that they do not become homeless. Without the grants, the City would not be able to provide these services exclusively to veterans and their families. In particular, the mortgage assistance is much needed and the City does not currently have another funding source for mortgage assistance. Additionally, these funds provide flexibility of serving higher in-come Veterans who would be turned away otherwise and possibly lose their homes. We want to continue to assist our veterans and ensure that they remain housed. The first year that the City received funding, we exceeded our client goal by over 50%. On the first quarter of 2018-2019 we have served over 100 veterans, dependents and surviving spouses. It is evident that there is a great need for the program in our area.
