This summary will be used to describe your project to those reviewing your documents. Please provide enough detail to explain your primary objectives and activities. JCK objectives will be to reduce recidivism rates among formerly incarcerated individuals in Fort Worth by 15% annually. Engage 150 at -risk individuals annually in violence prevention, leadership, and conflict resolution programs. Provide employment readiness training to 75 returning citizens annually, with a 60% job placement rate within six months. Establish a clothing closet program, serving 300 individuals annually with professional attire to facilitate interviews and employment. Project components consist of reentry support services such as CDL training for 30 participants annually, enabling access to living -wage jobs and mental health. 10. What do you believe is the most significant crime/safety problem the community faces? What causes it? How do you know? The most significant crime and safety issue facing the Fort Worth community (76104, 76105, 76119) is the high rate of recidivism among formerly incarcerated individuals, which contributes to generational cycles of poverty, unemployment, and violent crime. This issue is caused by several factors such as the lack of access to stable housing, gainful employment, mental health support, and re-entry resources or programs. These barriers create an environment where individuals struggle to reintegrate back into the community and results in individuals engaging in criminal activities as a means of survival. These statements are supported by research data and local data, firsthand accounts of our service group, and other returning citizens in the Fort Worth area. According to the U.S Bureau of Justice, nationwide recidivism rates have remained high for the last decade finding that roughly 67% of offenders released from state prisons return to the system within three years. Locally, this challenge is magnified by limited access to sustainable job training programs, inadequate support networks, and the stigma associated with a criminal record. This makes it difficult for returning citizens to secure stable employment or housing, which makes it difficult for returning citizens to secure stable employment or housing. Additionally, community feedback and input from stakeholders such as law enforcement, social workers, and nonprofits highlight the impact of recidivism on public safety and the strain it places on local resources. The aftermath of this problem extends beyond individuals, affecting families, neighborhoods, and the broader community. Addressing the root causes of recidivism through comprehensive reentry services is essential to improving public safety, breaking the cycle of crime, and fostering long-term community stability. 11. Please describe your mission and the population you serve. The mission of Jewel's Comfort Keeper is to provide comprehensive support to underserved individuals, particularly returning citizens and at -risk individuals, as they reintegrate into society and strive to achieve stability, independence, and personal success. We aim to foster an environment of empowerment, integrity, and excellence, equipping individuals with the tools and resources necessary to overcome barriers and thrive in their communities. Our ultimate vision is to "reach and empower men to restore communities" by addressing systemic challenges and creating pathways for successful reentry and community engagement. Jewel's Comfort Keeper serves a diverse population, including individuals who have been previously incarcerated, at - risk youth individuals to violence and systemic disparities, and underserved individuals facing challenges such as unemployment, housing insecurity, and unresolved trauma. By offering programs such as CDL training, employment readiness support, mental health services, and violence prevention initiatives, we address the unique needs of these populations. We aim to transform lives, restore dignity, and create positive changes throughout the Fort Worth community. 12. What are you requesting funding for? What capability does your agency need to better serve the Fort Worth community? JCK is requesting funding to enhance our organizational capacity and expand our ability to support returning citizens and at -risk individuals in the Fort Worth community (76104, 76105, 76119). Specifically, we seek to invest in resources, tools, and infrastructure that will strengthen our operational effectiveness and improve service delivery. This includes funding for consulting services to develop a comprehensive strategic action plan and professional development for staff to ensure they are equipped with the latest skills and knowledge to address the complex needs of our target population. JCK is requesting funding for equipment such as laptops and software programming for administrative and client support. In addition, JCK is requesting funding for website development, marketing and outreach and general office equipment. To better serve the Fort Worth community, we need to enhance our agency's ability to deliver high -impact, evidence -based programs that address the root causes of recidivism, youth violence, and systemic inequities. This requires building capacity in areas such as program evaluation, community outreach, and resource development to scale our services effectively. With this funding, we aim to foster greater collaboration with local partners, refine our program offerings, and establish sustainable solutions that create lasting change for individuals and families in our community. This investment will not only strengthen our agency but also deepen our impact, empowering us to continue addressing pressing social issues with excellence and compassion. 13. What actions have you previously attempted to develop your agency's capability before? How did it go? Who was involved? Jewel's Comfort Keeper has taken several strategic steps to enhance its organizational capability and improve its impact on the community. We have actively pursued collaborations with community partners, local organizations, and stakeholders to align our programs with best practices and leverage shared resources. Over the past five years, we have partnered with 20 local businesses and non -profits to secure in -kind donations, clothing, and supplies for our target population. As a result of these donations, we have expanded our reach and strengthened our service offerings. In addition, we have invested in staff development through training and certification programs, such as Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), to equip our team with the skills needed to address the mental health challenges faced by our population. This initiative not only improved staff competency but also enhanced the quality of services provided to our clients. Furthermore, we conducted internal needs assessments to identify gaps in our organizational structure, leading to the development of targeted action plans to address areas such as program evaluation, data management, and volunteer coordination. While these efforts have yielded positive results, such as increased community support and improved service delivery, challenges remain in scaling our programs and ensuring long-term sustainability. Key contributors to these initiatives include our dedicated staff, volunteers, and board members, all of who play critical roles in implementing these actions. Our community contributors who have been instrumental in our sustainability are Charles Schwab, Walmart, Community Foundation of Texas, Arlington Tomorrow Foundation, Target, Fidelity Charitable, United Way of Tarrant County, Blakely Charitable Fund, PayPal Giving Fund, Entre Capital, and Texas Instrument. Their collective efforts have laid a solid foundation for growth, and we are now seeking additional resources and funding to build on these successes and further enhance our capacity to serve the Fort Worth community effectively. 14. Please describe your agency's current resources: How do you support your mission financially? What are the strengths of your staff and board of directors? What is the role of volunteers in your operations? What partnerships does your agency have to support your mission?

By increasing access to resources such as our clothing closet, transportation assistance, and mentorship programs, we will create a more robust support system for those transitioning back into society. This will lead to measurable outcomes such as increased employment rates, improved mental health, and a reduction in repeat offenses.
