Name: Rayme Nuckles Title: Executive Director tsneT aescription OT the vrogram Tor wnicn Tunaing is requestea: Approval of this grant request would enable the Council to designate a Director of the Continuum of Care (CoC) and recruit staff members with a specific focus on Indian River County. While providing housing is a crucial first step in our agency's mission, our success hinges on our ability to coordinate all services within the CoC and engage additional service providers in a robust Coordinated Entry System (CES). The Council has submitted funding applications to St. Lucie and Martin Counties to create a more robust and focused supportive service referral network for each County. St. Lucie County recently budgeted $775,000.00 in funding to support the program in their community. Collaboration and focus are essential to the proper functioning of the Continuum of Care model, which enables the integration of various services to deliver a real continuum of care, rather than a fragmented and disjointed array of disparate service types and providers. As the lead agency for the CoC in Indian River County in 2022, we collaborated with local resources and directly engaged with partner agencies to provide supportive services to 6,171 unduplicated clients representing 10,880 family members. With a Director and staff members dedicated exclusively to assisting clients in Indian River County, we will be better equipped to achieve successful outcomes for the people we serve in the community. The Council's local presence will increase our capacity to rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and disruption caused by homelessness to individuals, families, and communities. The County Director will collaborate with supportive service agencies, CoC members, and other non-CoC providers to address the Social Determinants of Health outlined by the Center for Disease Control, which include housing, healthcare, community, education, and economic stability. Our services will not only provide housing resources but also employ robust case management to ensure positive long-term outcomes for the community, as well as the individuals and families we serve. ,JU111111C11y FXW UIL Amount requested from Indian River County for 2023/2024: $150,000.00 Total Proposed Program budget for 2023/2024: $217,555.00 Percent of total Program budget: 68.95% Current Funding (2022/2023) $15,270.00 Dollar increase / (decrease) in request: $134,730.00 Percent increase / decrease in request: 882.32% EXHIBIT A
