5. What is the mission of your agency?
Center for Transforming Lives works side -by -side with women and their children to disrupt the cycle of poverty throughout
Tarrant County. Our services are two -generational and establish long-term financial and emotional well-being.
6. What is the target group for this project?
The Supportive Approach to Financial and Emotional Wellbeing (SAFE) project seeks to serve women and children in Tarrant
County living with income constraints who are also current participants in Center for Transforming Lives (CTL) programs which
include: Housing Services, Child and Family Services, Economic Mobility Services, and Clinical Counseling Services.
Specifically, this target population includes, but is not limited to, women ages 18 and older and their children who are
experiencing homelessness; survivors of intimate partner violence and/or past abuse and/or trauma; women with high Adverse
Childhood Experience (ACE) scores who are parents of young children and/or dealing with untreated substance use/mental
health conditions; and children with behavioral concerns.
Although services will be offered city-wide and will not exclude anyone demonstrating need, Fort Worth neighborhoods with
high rates of racial and economic inequities will be targeted (i.e. Stop Six, Historic Southside, Las Vegas Trail, Ash Crescent,
Poly, Como, etc.). The client profile is typically a BIPOC single woman with children with income at or below 80% of the area
median income.
7. What is the crime/safety problem you are addressing?
CTL aims to reduce crime and preserve safety by addressing the root problems that data and participant experiences have
proven to affect safety and/or lead to criminal behavior. SAFE will address developmental risk factors for Fort Worth individuals
and families experiencing poverty. These developmental risk factors include, but are not limited to, impulsiveness, child -
rearing methods, single female -headed households, child abuse, parental conflict, disrupted families, poverty, delinquent
peers, and deprived neighborhoods.
Research indicates that income inequality correlates with increases in crime rates within communities, and increased crime
rates further increase income inequality. Furthermore, the Neighborhood Scout for Fort Worth unfortunately reflects that the
most impoverished neighborhoods are also those considered the "most dangerous". Thus, the cycle of poverty and crime
continues and disproportionately affects BIPOC, single women with children. CTL SAFE seeks to address this crime/safety
problem by addressing developmental risk factors associated with increased levels of crime through our multi -generational,
trauma -informed approach to clinical counseling and economic mobility service provision. CTL expects that SAFE's
coordinated service delivery model will succeed by allowing participants to address economic and mental health needs
concurrently, thereby increasing service efficiency and positive, measurable outcomes.
8. What are the causes of the crime/safety problem identified in the previous question?
The main cause of developmental risk factors associated with crime is exposure to poverty and trauma. CTL prioritizes women
with children because they are the largest demographic living in poverty in Tarrant County.
The experience of poverty disrupts a child's sense of security, creates delays in social and educational development, and can
result in severe trauma that may take years or a lifetime to heal. Poverty has particularly adverse effects on youth including
hunger, poor physical and mental health, and missed educational opportunities.
Violence and poverty are often intertwined. Many women in poverty have experienced intimate partner violence, trauma, and
mental illness. With frequent moves, inadequate nutrition, and constant stressors, the impact of poverty can be long-lasting
and intensify mental health concerns. This cycle perpetuates a pattern of victimization with little opportunity to move forward
to become self-sufficient. By reducing the incidence of violent crime, addressing victimization, and providing systemic
supports, both the individual and community impact can be reduced.
Time spent in poverty and homelessness indicates increased rates of emotional disturbance in children and overall instability
in family units. To break the cycle of trauma -caused homelessness and poverty, financial health for families along with
evidence -based trauma interventions appropriate for the enhanced stability and well-being of both generations, are imperative.
9. How does your strategy address those causes?
CTL has a holistic and trauma -informed care framework, using a two -generational (2Gen) approach to address the needs of
both parent/ caregiver and child simultaneously. CTL programs disrupt the cycle of poverty for women and children throughout
Fort Worth by addressing the root causes, including lack of affordable housing, lack of affordable childcare, scarce financial
resources, and unmet mental health needs.
The Clinical Counseling Services (CCS) department works side -by -side women and their children to establish long-term
mental and emotional well-being that is delivered by evidenced based therapeutic counseling. CCS's therapeutic services
address mental, behavioral, and emotional challenges for adults and children to promote long term and sustainable
improvements in mental health, social and family relationships, and academic and career related successes. CTL's clinical
counseling services include Individual, Family, and Group therapy, as well as play -based therapy for children.
CTL's Economic Mobility Services (EMS) provide comprehensive and integrated access to workforce readiness education,
financial coaching, and small business development resources to women on the path to independence and long-term financial
stability and generational wealth for families.
Through SAFE, CCS and EMS partner to provide women, families, and children the resources they need to process trauma
and rise out of poverty to build healthier communities with less crime.
10. What measurable impact will your strategy have related to crime and safety?
Impact will be measured on participants' emotional and financial well-being, knowing that improvements in these areas reduce
developmental risk factors associated with crime. Therapeutic treatment goals will be measured using standardized, pre and
post assessment tools testing for trauma and other related symptoms. Additionally, guardians will report strengthened family
protective factors in one or more areas within 6 months.
The Economic Mobility goal is to improve financial health as indicated by increased savings, decreased debt, increased
income, and improved credit score. Financial coaching, mentorship and education workshops will provide the needed support
for 80% of program participants who receive 4 or more coaching sessions to achieve at least one of their stated goals.
In addition, participants will be evaluated through qualitative data documented in the coaching and mentoring process, pre -
post knowledge surveys, and data capture related to milestones achieved, and changes in income, savings, credit and debt.
Baseline data will be compared with ongoing data to determine program success.
In all program areas, CTL evaluates progress toward achieving financial and emotional well-being at program entry using the
Transforming Lives Scale every 3 months during the program and at exit.
Crime is reduced when households become emotionally and financially stable because their options and decisions improve,
building strong and vibrant neighborhoods and communities.

5. Provide a description of your project (up to 375 characters).
The Supportive Approach to Financial & Emotional Well -Being (SAFE) program at CTL seeks to reduce crime by addressing
the root causes of poverty and homelessness for women and children in Fort Worth. SAFE works alongside women and their
families to improve financial well-being and reduce trauma symptoms and behavioral issues stemming from the impact of
violence and crime.
6. Describe the eligible crime/safety situation the target group faces. Support the description with relevant data
from your agency and the community that explains the extent of the problem and what causes it to persist.
Poverty persisting across generations is one of the most pressing social problems in our nation today; its scale is far
reaching, and single female -headed households are especially vulnerable to financial instability (Hidden Homeless Report,
2019). Women in Texas are twice as likely as men to experience poverty, and Hispanic or Black women experience poverty
at twice the rate of white women (Economic Issues for Women in Texas, 2020). In Texas, 44% of single female headed
households live below the federal poverty line and 79% drop below the Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE)
threshold (Alice in Texas: A Financial Hardship Study, 2020). For many families struggling in poverty, a single unexpected
financial demand can lead to homelessness.
Women and children living in poverty and homelessness have an increased likelihood of exposure to/involvement in violence
and crime. Many have experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), trauma, and mental health challenges. With higher rates
of trauma, exposure to crime and violence, frequent moves, and inadequate nutrition, the impact of homelessness can last a
lifetime and intensify mental health concerns (Maternal and Child Health and Well -Being: A Snapshot of Tarrant County's
Underserved Communities, 2023).
The number of homeless families increased by 50% in 2022, according to the Tarrant County Homeless Coalition's 2023
"State of the Homeless Report," and trauma is a leading cause of homelessness among this population. Homeless families
are typically headed by young, single mothers of small children. According to the Center for Evidence -Based Solutions to
Homelessness (December 2017), 90% of mothers with young children experiencing homelessness have been exposed to
conflict, trauma, and violence. The American Journal of Psychiatry (1998) asserts that major depression and PTSD occur in
large percentages of homeless women, interrupting their ability to remain stably housed and employed to break the cycle of
trauma and homelessness.
The constant stress coupled with the traumatic experiences pervasive to homelessness and poverty have profound effects on
a child's development and the family unit, which increases the developmental risk factors associated with crime involvement.
The Children's Health and Assessment Planning Survey Region 6 found that children who experience homelessness have
higher rates of emotional/behavioral problems, 1:4 homeless youth are at risk for human trafficking, and homeless children are
more likely to interact with the criminal justice system. 83% of homeless children are exposed to at least one serious violent
event by age 12, and 25% have witnessed family violence (Green Doors, Family Homelessness Facts, 2017). Thus, the cycle
of poverty and crime continues and disproportionately affects Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), single women
with children.
7. Define the participants and how many will benefit from this project. Include defining characteristics, how the
crime or safety situation (described in the previous question) affects them, and how they relate to community
efforts to impact CCPD crime and safety goals.
The SAFE program participants will be primarily women and their families who have experienced homelessness, are at -risk of
homelessness, or are low income and have been exposed to/involved in trauma, violence, and/or crime. To assess
participants' needs and inform service plans, all programs at Center for Transforming Lives (CTL) utilize the Transforming Lives
Scale (TL Scale), which is completed by coaches, case managers, and family advocates when a new participant elects to
use CTL services. The TL Scale evaluates levels of financial and emotional well-being across 15 life domains: Transportation,
Childcare, Housing Wage, Education/Vocation, Grit/Self-Efficacy, Assets, Monthly Income, Income, Employment Stability,
Mental Health, Physical Health, Legal, Life Skills, Safe Relationships, and Social Capital (natural supports). Increased scores
across domains after supportive interventions indicate movement away from poverty toward independent stability and well-
being.
Through the SAFE program, CTL will offer trauma -informed, clinical counseling and economic mobility services to 100% of
CTL participants who have a score of 2 or less on the Transforming Lives Scale in the Income and Mental Health domains, or
request Counseling services or Economic Mobility coaching, with a goal of serving at least 146 participants per year. The
SAFE program will consist primarily of women experiencing homelessness or income constraints who are typically single with
children and who want to attain financial stability, find or maintain their housing, and improve long term well-being for
themselves and their children.
Trauma symptoms that may be reported by participants in SAFE include anxiety, depression, IPV, post -traumatic stress, and
substance use/abuse. Participants also may experience psychosocial stressors that impact the development and
maintenance of healthy parent -child relationships, safe and stable long-term permanent housing, and financial well-being.
Stressors can include, but are not limited to, involvement with CPS, legal issues, parenting issues, employment instability,
housing instability, relationship difficulties, and exposure to or involvement with violence and crime. Violence and poverty are
often intertwined. By reducing the incidence of violent crime, addressing victimization, and providing systemic supports, both
the individual and community impact may be reduced.
CTL SAFE seeks to address this crime/safety problem by addressing developmental risk factors associated with increased
levels of crime through our two -generational (2Gen), trauma -informed approach to clinical counseling and economic mobility
service provision. SAFE's coordinated service delivery model will succeed by allowing participants to address economic and
mental health needs concurrently, thereby increasing service efficiency and positive, measurable outcomes.
8. Discuss how your project will address the causes of the crime/safety situation faced by the target group.
Describe how the project will be measured and how it will impact the selected crime/safety goal. Explain how it is
unique, new, and/or similar to other efforts. Include relevant data and outside sources that prove that the project is
likely to achieve the desired results.
SAFE aims to reduce crime by addressing developmental risk factors proven to affect safety and/or lead to criminal behavior
for Fort Worth households experiencing poverty. Key drivers of poverty include financial instability and unemployment, lack of
affordable housing, mental health concerns, and learning gaps in education starting in early childhood. (Community
Assessment. United Way of Tarrant County Community Assessment 2019). SAFE's unique trauma -informed, 2Gen approach
meets the complex needs of women and children in poverty.
Through Economic Mobility Services, SAFE participants will receive financial and career coaching in financial goal setting,
budget management, banking and savings, credit and debt management, taxes, asset building, career readiness, educational
attainment, resume building, internship referral, and interviewing skills. Research demonstrates that financial and career
education curricula can positively influence how consumers manage their finances, and these changes continue after training.
SAFE participants will attend a minimum of four coaching sessions, participate in career readiness programming with
partners, and attend Asset Builders' Clinics. Participants' progress will be evaluated via a database system that tracks and
assesses outcomes through changes in FICO credit scores, assets (income and savings), and liabilities (expenses and debt)
For over eight years, CTL has used evidence -based financial and career education derived from the International Coach
Federation Co -Active Coaching Model as a strategy to exit poverty. This intervention empowers participants to be experts in
their own lives while honoring the coach/participant partnership.
SAFE Therapists will work to increase participants' success in employment and home environments by reducing the
emotional instabilities and behavioral impacts of trauma resulting from poverty, crime, homelessness, or violence. SAFE
participants will be assigned a licensed Therapist who will offer age -appropriate, evidence -based models of trauma -informed
intervention, such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), Trust Based Relational Intervention
(TBRI), and other frameworks as needed to aid in emotional regulation. These modalities have been shown to reduce
symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression while focusing on vitally important attachment needs. Therapeutic treatment
goals are measured through age -appropriate, evidence -based screenings and assessments. According to the National
Coalition for the Homeless, implementation of trauma -informed care highlights the feeling of safety which assists those
persons experiencing poverty in rebuilding a sense of empowerment in their lives. The Shift Study found that trauma -informed
care is a cost-effective and successful strategy to address long-term stability for homeless families.
9. Discuss your anticipated results. Explain how the crime/safety situation will change in measurable ways for both
the target group and the community.
The goal of SAFE is to reduce crime by providing vulnerable women -led households with resources for crime prevention and
increased safety. Through the SAFE program, and its focus on addressing financial and behavioral health, CTL anticipates:
80% of SAFE participants attending 4+ coaching sessions in 6+ months will show improvement in the Income domain of the
Transforming Lives scale and develop a positive or balanced budget.
60% of SAFE participants assessed will show improvement (reduction) in trauma symptoms in at least 2 or more domains of
applicable assessments.
80% of SAFE participants will report an increase in knowledge of crime victims' rights and an increase in knowledge of safety
and crime prevention resources and services as well as other community resources.
Of the SAFE participants that score less than two on the TL scale in Safe Relationships, 50% will improve their score after 6
months of continual services.
SAFE will increase collaboration with CTL and the FWPD Mental Health Crisis Intervention Team by providing a referral
process and connections to provide services for identified community needs.
SAFE will increase safety by building trusting relationships through community engagement events in the 76119-zip code that
will bring together area service providers, the community, and the Fort Worth Police Department.
There is a statistically significant correlation between poverty and crime. Adults in poverty are three times more likely to be
arrested than those who do not fall below the poverty line. Within the imprisoned population, 57 percent of men and 72 percent
of women were living in poverty prior to being arrested (Incarceration and Poverty in the United States, 2020). Children who
grow up in poverty are more likely to have developmental issues, low self-esteem, and less educational achievements; each of
which may contribute to the likelihood of committing a crime (Incarceration and Poverty in the United States, 2020).
Research indicates that income inequality correlates with increases in crime rates within communities, and increased crime
rates further increase income inequality. The data on Fort Worth's Neighborhood Scout
http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/tx/fort-worth/crime reflects that the most impoverished neighborhoods are also those
considered the "most dangerous." This is why SAFE targets participants living in 76119, 76104, and 76105, zip codes in Fort
Worth with the most poverty per capita.
Providing vital resources and establishing long term financial and emotional health goals can measurably move families out of
poverty and reduce feelings of desperation that could lead to crimes or the need to remain in unsafe relationships. Building
trusting relationships with all community stakeholders is the foundation of preserving safety.
10. Briefly describe your agency and why it is the best to lead this project. Include how long your agency has
served the community, its mission, partners, and the nature of your services.
CTL has provided anti -poverty programs for women and children in Tarrant County for 115 years. Founded in 1907 as the
YWCA® of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, early programs in the 1930s included housing, an employment bureau and
childcare for working mothers. In 2015, the organization changed its name to the Center for Transforming Lives to articulate its
longstanding mission to work side -by -side with women and their children to disrupt the cycle of poverty throughout Tarrant
County. Our services are two -generational and establish long-term financial and emotional well-being. Integrated services
include:
Economic Mobility Services - provides comprehensive and integrated access to workforce readiness education, financial
coaching, and small business development resources to women on the path to independence.
Housing Services - provides housing and shelter to women and children experiencing homelessness. Participants utilize
services to improve wellbeing and transition into permanent housing and independence.
Clinical Counseling Services- provides evidence -based counseling services to increase emotional well-being for participants.
These services address mental, behavioral, and emotional challenges for adults and children who have experienced traumatic
life events.
Child and Family Services - provides high -quality, affordable, year-round education at four child development centers and
partners with other childcare centers throughout Tarrant County to offer Early Head Start, Head Start and traditional childcare.
The Center for Transforming Lives draws experienced, qualified, and passionate staff, board members, and partners who
possess the skills, knowledge, resources, and values aligned with CTL's mission. The agency operations are grounded in
equity and proven cultural competencies. CTL recruits staff who represent the cultural and linguistic needs of participants and
have experience working with income -constrained families who may be involved with crime and/or severe trauma. CTL is
governed by an 18-member Board of Directors, consisting of men and women representing various segments of the
community, including members who have experienced homelessness, poverty, and racial disparities. CTL has completed the
Council on Accreditation (COA) process with finalized accreditation in 2023. COA accreditation demonstrates that CTL follows
best practices, provides quality services, and strives for continuous improvement.
CTL collaborates with local community organizations including, but not limited to, MHMR, Safe Haven, United Way, City of
Fort Worth, Office of the Attorney general, Office of the Governor, Workforce Solutions of Tarrant County, Tarrant County
Homeless Coalition, TCC, Legal Aid, FW Community Courts, One Safe Place, FW Housing Solutions, FWISD, FW Mental
Health Connection, and Cook Children's Health Plan Community Advisory Committee.
11. Describe how the project fits the mission of your agency.
The SAFE program aligns with CTL's mission to improve family self-sufficiency by strengthening financial and emotional
behaviors essential for health and well-being. SAFE aims to reduce poverty by addressing participants' most critical needs
and supporting mothers in creating long-term sustainability for their families. While households are increasingly reliant on
women's earnings, women need access to wealth -building opportunities and employment strategies, especially as gender
disparities in wealth and wage continue to exist (Asset Funders Network, Unlocking Assets: Building Women's Wealth
Through Business Ownership, 2019).
SAFE Therapists will help decrease the negative impacts trauma has on women, children, and families. With increasing
numbers of families experiencing homelessness, the effects of trauma will be compounded. Domestic Violence is one of the
leading causes of homelessness amongst single women headed households, and affected families have few options for safety
and stability. Greater frequency and time spent in homelessness can increase rates of emotional disturbance in children and
overall instability in family units. Unless these problems in our community are addressed with seriousness and efficiency, the
issues will remain unresolved, continuing the cycle of inter -generational poverty in Fort Worth.
The SAFE program addresses intergenerational poverty by supporting long term benefits for the family that mitigate risk
factors associated with involvement in crime, including:
Financial Stability: Working adults maintain a living wage (30% of income for housing) and have $500 in emergency savings.
Women have defined a career path and have potential for increased income. Adults make healthy spending choices and can
provide for themselves and their families.
Healthy Living Patterns: Parents maintain nurturing environments for their families and basic needs are continuously met.
Basic needs may include food/nutrition, hygiene, routinely accessing healthcare and mental health services, and a lack of
substance abuse.
Healthy Relationships: Families have strong relationships internally between parent -child and have reliable social support for
navigating adversity. Families can seek out external support from neighbors or peers to build strong social connections or
from a Coach or Therapist for navigating life events and hardships.
Access to safe, stable housing and school readiness programing for young children
CTL is founded on the idea that poverty reduction can lead to a more stable, cohesive society and provide individuals with
avenues to contribute to their respective communities. CTL knows that our local economy is contingent upon reducing poverty
and homelessness, while promoting a thriving workforce that includes working mothers. Our comprehensive services are
designed not only to address poverty, but also the stressors and symptoms associated with the cycle that transcends
generations.
12. Describe the geographic area(s) you will serve (i.e. city-wide, council districts, zip code, neighborhood, census
tracts, etc.) and why it was selected.
Fort Worth's racial and economic inequities have remained virtually unaddressed for decades. Hardest hit focus areas include
East Fort Worth and SE Fort Worth (all 35%+ poverty), with high numbers of people of color experiencing the greatest
impacts. This inequity is most significant for women of color, more of whom live below the poverty line despite higher labor
force participation. Thus, although the SAFE program is city-wide, the targeted areas are 76119, 76104, 76105, and census
tract block groups with pockets of poverty.
Most SAFE participants will reside in households that qualify as low-income or that fall below the Federal Poverty Level and
live in neighborhoods with high rates of racial and economic inequities (for example, Stop Six, Historic Southside, Las Vegas
Trail, Ash Crescent, Poly, and Como). Based on CTL's other programs, the most frequent referral sources will be local
emergency shelters, intimate partner violence shelters, and housing programs.
Increasing safety through Direct Neighborhood Projects:
CTL is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty for families in Fort Worth and has identified the 76119-zip code as one area
of focus for poverty reduction. CTL's Development department has spent the last two years planning how to have a visual
presence and a measurable impact via signage, billboards, and other means of communication. This area is an Area 6
Neighborhood Empowerment Zone, where 45% of single woman households with children reported an income below the
poverty level, there is an unemployment rate of 7.5%, and a low Per Capita Income at $15,159 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020).
Over the next three years, the agency will target the area to improve access to childcare and early childhood education,
improve access to quality behavioral healthcare, expand job training and workforce development opportunities, strengthen Fort
Worth small businesses especially for BIPOC women, and facilitate economic recovery through innovation. By addressing the
root causes of poverty for women and their families in 76119, CTL seeks to create proven pathways to improving safety and
reducing crime.
13. Describe and list what other funds you have secured or requested on behalf of this project. If this is a new
project, include a description of how you plan to maintain these services beyond the CCPD grant period.
Although Clinical and Economic Mobility Services are not new to CTL, the SAFE program, coordinated programming designed
to strategically reduce crime and improve safety, is a new intervention.
CTL has a long history of blending and leveraging various funding streams across all programs to better serve women and
children living in poverty. CTL has received private donations, corporate funding, and foundation funding since its inception, and
the organization maximizes federal, state, county, and city funds to secure, sustain, and expand programming. Additionally,
CTL uses existing agency resources to generate revenue to support the agency's programs while creating opportunities for
CTL program participants to build job skills through Social Enterprise. Historic 512, our event space in downtown Fort Worth,
is rented to the public, and The Resale Shop offers quality reused merchandise at affordable prices. These businesses, along
with CTL's Foundation, are temporary sources of revenue to fill gaps while permanent funds are secured. Currently, the
Victims of Crime Act grants and private funding from Rainwater Charitable Foundation partially fund department services that
will be offered in the SAFE program.
Plans are underway to allow the Clinical Counseling program to become an approved provider for Medicaid and other health
insurances. As Therapists become paneled with Medicaid and insurances, Clinical Counseling Services will become more
self-sustaining and be able to bill for many of the services already provided, while still providing therapeutic services at no cost
to the participant. In addition, with this approval, the SAFE program will be able to grow to serve the community at large
(external referrals) as well, allowing the program to grow and sustain in new ways.
CTL will continue to seek funding from private and public sources to ensure services can be provided at the highest level
possible. Currently, we are identifying and seeking diverse funding sources to support programming designed to achieve
financial stability for BIPOC communities.
14. If applicable, describe how your project addresses the CCPD Special Emphasis: Police/Community Relations.
To receive points for Special Emphasis, agency must include a Special Emphasis outcome or activity in the Project Plan
section..
The SAFE program clinical staff will provide targeted outreach/communication to FWPD Mental Health Crisis Intervention
Team (CIT) regarding SAFE program referral process and potential connections to provide services for identified community
needs.
Additionally, SAFE will host an annual free community engagement event in the 76119-zip code that will bring together area
service providers, the community, and the Fort Worth Police Department. SAFE will collaborate with community
members/leaders in the planning and execution of the event with the goal of encouraging dialog, spotlighting access to vital
services, and enjoying entertainment and food. The event will work to build trust by providing a setting for all parties to interact.
The community event will create a space for positive connections and service providers can educate about the services that
are offered, such as food and nutrition, education, healthcare, and workforce opportunities. By bringing together service
providers, community members, and the police department personnel, the community engagement event can help create a
shared vision for a more just and equitable community where needs are met and positive and trusting relationships are built.

It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of contracts with Center for
Transforming Lives and Family Pathfinders of Tarrant County from the Crime Control & Prevention
District Community Based Programs Fund in the total program amount of $597,000.00 to operate
crime prevention programming that benefits Fort Worth residents.
DISCUSSION:
Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) Community Based Programs provide funding to
agencies that are recommended by a selection panel and then approved by the CCPD Board of
Directors (Board). This panel consisted of staff and community representatives who evaluated the
proposals to ensure minimum qualifications were met and that the proposed projects met one or
more of the goals of the Board.
On August 22, 2023, the Board reviewed and approved the recommendation to fund two crime
prevention programs. The following programs' awards total up to $597,000.00 and are funded by the
CCPD Community Based Fund. The two programs will have a contract term of October 1, 2023
through September 30, 2026 with no renewals.
Funding will be allocated as follows to each agency in Fiscal Year 2024 on a reimbursement basis:
Center for Transforming Lives ($297,000.00) will implement the "CTL- Supportive Approach to
Financial and Emotional Well Being (SAFE)" program. The program offers trauma —informed Clinical
Counseling, Housing Services, Child and Family Services and Economic Mobility services to
participants. Their target population are women and their children (which is the largest demographic
living in poverty in Tarrant County) experiencing homelessness, survivors of intimate partner violence
and/or past abuse/trauma, women with High Adverse Childhood Experience and children with
behavioral concerns. This program will serve participants from All Council Districts.
Family Pathfinders of Tarrant County ($300,000.00) will implement their Pathfinders Re -Entry
Mentoring Program. The program will serve formerly incarcerated men and women by focusing on
their reentry into society and providing mentoring, financial coaching, employment coaching and
support. The program will focus on empowering individuals and their families and assist them finding a
path to social and financial wellbeing through their Reentry Mentoring Program. This program will
serve participants from all Council Districts.
Funding is budgeted in the CCPD Community Based Programs Department's CCPD Community
Based Fund for the purpose of funding the CCPD Community Based Program FY24 project, as
appropriated.
This M&C will serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
