YEAR-END REPORT
Due: July 31, 2021
Organization: _Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo Luis Obispo County ______________________
Program: __ Community Based Youth Mentoring ___________________
COVID-19
Between July 2020 and June 30, 2021, BBBS SLO is continuously served children and families by supporting
matches that met virtually and in person. New matches have continued at a much slower pace than anticipated.
Since the pandemic began, BBBS SLO has provided nearly 5,200 hours of case management and provided
resources and referrals to families who also face food insecurity, economic adversity (such as housing insecurity
and parental job instability) and safety concerns (such as increases in mental health emergencies and
substance abuse in the home). These families are at high-risk in normal circumstances. With the COVID-19
outbreak they are in extremely high-risk situations due to family stress and confinement.
Enrolling Volunteers:
•We evaluated and screened 19 of those potential applicants to determine if they were a good fit for our
program, and identified their availability, interests, personality, special skills and past experience with youth.
The steps included: preliminary phone interviews, in-depth face-to-face interviews, phone interviews with
three or more personal/professional references, phone interviews with supervisors at all youth organizations
with which the applicant has been involved during the last 5 years, and a thorough background check of
their legal history.
•The background check for adults is rigorous and included the following steps. We reviewed each applicant’s
national criminal file, California Department of Justice LiveScan report, SLO County Sheriff’s record and
California motor vehicle record. We verified their social security number, driver’s license and automobile
insurance are current and valid. We required them to visit a local law enforcement office to put their
fingerprints on file. Finally, we checked the National Sex Offender Database and Big Brothers Big Sisters
National Safety Registry to ensure there have been no previous child safety concerns.
•We required volunteers to master the information in our “Volunteer Training Manual” and complete a formal
training class with our professional trainer. The curriculum is carefully developed to equip volunteers with
the necessary tools to become successful mentors.
Enrolling Children and Creating Matches:
•We matched 9 new children with mentors; and served an additional 32 children and families from the City of
SLO between 7/1/2020 and 6/30/2021.
•We conducted 9 in-depth, in-person interviews in which we identified the history, special needs, challenges,
resources, interests, availability and personality of the child and associated family members. All of this
information was documented and used to create the best possible role model relationship.
•We conducted a personalized Safety Training Session with the parent/guardian and child.
•Using the information gathered during enrollment and Risk Protective Inventories (RPI), our professional
staff evaluated which children and volunteers were best suited for matching based on mutual interests and
activities, having similar schedules and complimentary personalities. After gaining approval from the parent,
child and volunteer, we hosted “Match Meetings” to introduce all parties. At this time, participation contracts
and associated paperwork were completed and program guidelines were reviewed. Online games, art
projects and other activities are an important part of these meetings, to help new participants get
comfortable with each other.
Providing Match Support and Ensuring Positive Results:
•We provided professional case management to the volunteer, child and guardian within two weeks of the initial
introduction (serving a minimum of 117 people. We say minimum because this number does not include
additional family members served via case management). Each month, contact was made over the phone,
online, via email, text or social media, or in person at safe, socially distanced events. If challenges arose,
additional coaching and/or resources were shared with the participants. In second and subsequent year
Item 2
Packet Page 6
relationships, contact was initiated on a quarterly schedule if all indicators of a healthy relationship continued to
be present.
• We produced a monthly newsletter and Facebook group with activity suggestions and relationship advice. We
hosted several contests for tickets or other opportunities throughout the year, including bicycle give-a-ways,
and recognized “Bigs of the Year.”
To ensure we are making a positive impact on the children we serve, we conducted baseline and follow up
Youth Outcome Surveys, created by Public-Private Ventures and used by Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies
nationwide. The surveys measure improvement in areas such as participants ’ academics, relationships and
avoidance of risky behaviors. Local children showed Youth Outcome Survey results consistent with national
data in which youth maintained or improved, from baseline to follow up in the following areas: Social Acceptance
78%, Scholastic Competence 100%, Educational Expectations 89%, Attitudes toward Risky Behaviors 95%,
Parental Trust 78%, and Special Adult Relationships 63%. In turn, your investment helps make these children
more likely to achieve higher levels of education and less likely to become involved in crime or use drugs or
alcohol, ultimately making your city a better place to live. In fact, in academic year 2020/2021, 100% of eligible
seniors participating in our programs graduated from high school; 90% are advancing their education beyond
high school.
Statistical Report: (This section should include the number of clients served, their cities of origin, the nature
of services provided, as well as any other statistics which are kept by the agency. The total number of clients
served also should be broken down by the type of service receiv ed.)
During the first half of the 2020-2021 fiscal year, we have served 124 children to date in our Community Based
mentoring programs. A total of 39 of those children reside in the City of San Luis Obispo; of those nine are new
mentoring relationships. Of the 124 children, 62 were male, 61 were female, and one trans male.

Administrator’s Report: (A brief synopsis of the activities of the reporting period, including a statement of
the activities, service or programs provided as described in Exhibit B (your grant application) using the Grants-
In-Aid provided, and any changes that have occurred during the reporting period.)
The Homeless Prevention/Stable Housing Program utilized GIA funding to provide emergency
assistance to City of San Luis Obispo individuals and families that were at risk of being evicted
from their homes or were in need of first month's rent and/or security deposit.
Along with receiving one-time financial assistance, households met with a case manager to
receive financial education and counseling. The case manager helped the households create
a budget and linked them to appropriate social services resources. By providing these
comprehensive services to households, their chances of falling into financial crisis in the future
were reduced and they were assisted in their determination to either obtain housing or remain
successfully housed.
Statistical Report: (This section should include the number of clients served, their cities of origin, the nature
of services provided, as well as any other statistics which are kept by the agency. The total number of clients
served also should be broken down by the type of service received.)
The reporting period is July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. During that time frame, the funding
enabled seven (7) households to obtain housing.

Administrator’s Report: (A brief synopsis of the activities of the reporting period, including a statement of
the activities, service or programs provided as described in Exhibit B (your grant application) using the Grants-
In-Aid provided, and any changes that have occurred during the reporting period.)
During the 2020/21 fiscal year, Ombudsman services were affected by the COVID-19
pandemic. The program is considered essential and continued to provide services throughout
the year with some limitations. Ombudsman services that require entry inside long term care
facilities were initially effected by state and federal orders. However, those orders were lifted
in August 2020, and our program immediately resumed in-facility services.
During the fiscal year, we provided direct assistance to four nursing facilities residents who
were at risk of homelessness due to CenCal Health coverage denials. Three of the situations
resolved due to our efforts. One of the residents who has no income and has significant mental
health issues has a state hearing pending. The hearing will occur in September 2021, although
we filed the initial appeal in June 2021.
We also responded to more than 100 information and assistance calls regarding low
income/low asset senior or disabled adults who needed facility placement or community care
options.

Administrator’s Report: (A brief synopsis of the activities of the reporting period, including a statement of
the activities, service or programs provided as described in Exhibit B (your grant application) using the Grants-
In-Aid provided, and any changes that have occurred during the reporting period.)
Senior Nutrition Program serves hot nutritious noontime meals Monday through Friday to
senior citizens in SLO City at 2 locations as part of its overall program of serving the entire
County of SLO.
Our lunch site at the Anderson Hotel, serves dining room meals to all residents of the
hotel and to any senior over the age of 60, who wishes to dine there. The second lunch
site is in United Church of Christ Congregational on Los Osos Valley Rd. Both dining rooms
serve as the meeting point for seniors to socialize and interact.
In addition to the congregate dining, SNP serves meals to homebound seniors who are
frail and isolated. Meals are delivered daily through a network of volunteers, and frozen
meals are provided for weekends and holiday.
Besides the nutritious meals, this program provides social contact, which is important to
most seniors. Our staff and volunteers are sometimes the only people they see that day.
We continue to intervene when a client is not home to receive their meal. We check with
family, physicians and other emergency contacts until the welfare of the client is
determined.
Judson Terrace, a senior housing complex, closed their kitchen permanently on May 29,
2015. SNP is providing daily lunches, Mon.-Fri. starting on June 1, 2015 to interested
senior residents. Due to the present COVID-19 pandemic, which began in March 2020, all
the dining sites have shut down. Meals were delivered to seniors’ homes due to Shut in
place orders. SNP experienced huge increases in meal demands throughout the county.
City of SLO showing the largest increase in seniors and meals. The number of delivery
routes increased from 5 to 12 delivery routes every day.

165 were low income and would be considered to be socially isolated.
45 have limitations of basic self-care and 185 have 4 or more restrictions on their ability to

One Cool Earth
Earth Genius-Every Child Deserves a Place to Grow
During this grant period, One Cool Earth served the total population of students
at Pacheco Elementary school, reaching 560 K-6th youth with innovative,
garden-based education.
We are excited to report that while we were unable to deliver taste tests this year
due to COVID-19, this school garden alone donated 120lbs of fresh produce to
students and their families during school closures.
Additionally, despite the challenges of virtual learning, students at Pacheco
Elementary enthusiastically attended online garden lessons weekly during the
entire year, up until they were able to come back into the garden in limited
groups this past April.
Our bilingual garden educator on this campus translated our 24 virtual lessons
from One Cool Earth's Phenomenal Garden Series curriculum to Spanish in order to
better serve our diverse youth. These translated resources also include lessons
plans and additional activity guides for parents, taking into account multigenerational
homes where caregivers may not speak English. These materials are now available
for digital download and print to anyone for free, making them equitable and
available for years to come.
During the 2020-2021 school year, One Cool Earth served students at Pacheco
Elementary School both in the garden and during school closures.
Adapting quickly to serve the urgent needs of youth grappling with COVID-19
disruptions, our organization created virtual lessons paired with at-home activity kits that
replicate our in-person garden sessions to the best of our ability. This included filming,
editing, transcribing, and finally, translating to Spanish, our series of 24 Next Generation
Science Standards lessons so that they may be a resource for all students during this
difficult time. While we provided pre-recorded lesson options for teachers and parents
to utilize, our Pacheco garden educator also delivered live virtual lessons to students
through extensive coordination with enthusiastic teachers on this campus. Overall, we
successfully reached the total school population (560 students) with nutrition and
environmental education over the year. As such, the garden educator maintained regular
staff hours, ensuring the school garden remained a productive source of nutrition for the
school community, safely teaching students from their school garden, and aiding staff in
meeting science standards requirements through innovative means, despite the
unprecedented challenges.
One Cool Earth further served public educators this year by hosting 4 teaching training
events where 72 teachers gained confidence and skills in utilizing school gardens
as teaching tools independently.

services they also receive nutritional information and education, pregnancy and parenting
guidance, and support for the moms that choose to breastfeed. Families that do no qualify for
WIC and or are looking for a little extra support can receive an large can of formula and baby
food per month per child. We encourage and support all families to breastfeed but, we also
understand and support the decisions that moms make in regard to breastfeeding.
With grant funds PPS was able to purchase 215 cans of formula, due to the pandemic, formula
became a challenge to obtain. The type of formula available was typically the more expensive
one, that most of the families we serve could not obtain. Other items that PPS was able to
help families with apart from formula are; diapers, wipes, infant equipment, car seats along
with education and installation of it and other infant essentials.

Human Relations Commission Grants-In-Aid (GIA) Program
YEAR-END REPORT
Due: July 31, 2021
Organization: San Luis Obispo Legal Assistance Foundation (SLOLAF)
Program: Senior Legal Services Project (SLSP)
Administrator’s Report: (A brief synopsis of the activities of the reporting period, including a statement of
the activities, service or programs provided as described in Exhibit B (your grant application) using the Grants-
In-Aid provided, and any changes that have occurred during the reporting period.)
Senior Legal Services Project (SLSP) continues to provide legal advice & representation and
community outreach throughout the City and County of SLO. SLSP continues to prioritize seniors at
risk of losing safety, housing, and independence. Primary areas of assistance were consumer
finance, public benefits, and planning for incapacity (powers of attorney for finances and advance
health care directives).
Due to funding changes that came about after our grant application was submitted in January 2020,
legal issues pertaining to housing for seniors were moved to another SLOLAF program. This resulted
in a decrease in number of clients seen for the year in the SLSP program compared to previous
years, though many seniors did receive assistance in this area (see Statistics portion of this report).
SLOLAF continues to staff the SLSP program part-time with a Staff Attorney, along with our Legal
Director (who functions as the project Directing Attorney). SLSP also had 10 attorney volunteers who
typically see clients by appointment in the SLO office and in senior centers around the County
(altered this year due to the pandemic), as well as a student intern.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic covering almost the entire year, we saw a decrease in clients
overall. We continued with the telephone appointment service model that we adopted in March of
2020 when our office closed, opening briefly in October before closing again. The SLOLAF office
only re-opened for in-person appointments in the last quarter of the fiscal year, and many seniors are
still opting for telephone service. With all of the senior centers and other gathering places for seniors
being closed due to the pandemic, it was very hard to do any kind of outreach or have our program
information placed where seniors could find it. We know this affected our numbers, and now that
things are opening again, we’re working diligently to get back in front of seniors again, so they are
aware of the services we offer through the SLSP program.

Statistical Report: (This section should include the number of clients served, their cities of origin, the nature
of services provided, as well as any other statistics which are kept by the agency. The total number of clients
served also should be broken down by the type of service received.)
SLSP provided direct legal services ranging from advice and consultation to full representation to 158
clients last year who reside in the County of San Luis Obispo, 49 of whom were residents of SLO
City (about 31% of SLSP’s total caseload). Of the 158 clients served, ages are: 27 aged 60-64; 62
aged 65-74; 53 aged 75-84 years old and 16 who were 85 or older.
65% of SLSP’s clients last year were female, 35% were male.
SLSP provided legal services to clients with the following legal issues:
Powers of Attorney/Advance Health Care Directives/Wills: 53
Bankruptcy/Debt Collection/Consumer Finance: 43
Medi-Cal/Social Security/SSI/Income Maintenance: 37
Other (elder abuse, individual rights, family, health care, employment, misc.): 25
In addition, we provided limited advice and referrals to approximately 400 seniors during the fiscal
year. 23 additional seniors received education through our one community outreach event and 15
referral sources learned about our services. Over 1,200 hours of direct legal services were devoted
to SLSP this year.
It should be noted that SLOLAF saw 203 seniors for housing issues through our other housing
programs, clients that in past years would have been seen under SLSP.
Financial report: (A financial statement detailing how the City’s grant money has been expended.)
The City's grant of $2,500 was deposited into the organization's general operating account,
earmarked for SLSP. Each month those monies are used to assist in covering the many expenses of
administering SLSP (almost $70,000 this year), such as wages, rent & utilities, telephone, fax and
internet, insurance premiums (workers’ compensation, general liability and professional liability),
postage, office supplies, dues, memberships & subscriptions, copier expenses, staff training & travel,
computer support and bookkeeping fees. SLSP's federal grant funding that is administered through
the Area Agency on Aging requires a certain percentage of matching funds from local governmental
agencies and the City's grant funding counts toward that.

During the reporting period, Stand Strong continued to operate ten transitional housing units in Grover Beach
and the City of San Luis Obispo and an emergency safe house in the City of San Luis Obispo to serve
survivors of domestic violence living in San Luis Obispo County. This funding has allowed our agency to
provide essential services to survivors who are primarily from traditionally underserved communities (1e
Latinx, Limited English Proficiency, disabled, LGBTQ+, and those from rural areas of the county)Specifically
the funds have supplemented salaries for Stand Strong's Homeless Prevention and Self-Sufficiency staff. This
program connects homeless survivors of domestic violence to temporary housing and assists them in
accessing permanent housing and income through voluntary, weekly case management meetings to provide
employment resources and development, financial literacy education and planning, and advocacy with other
Community agencies or landlords to find permanent, safe housing.

Program: Homeless Outreach Program
Administrator’s Report: (A brief synopsis of the activities of the reporting period, including a statement of
the activities, service or programs provided as described in Exhibit B (your grant application) using the Grants-
In-Aid provided, and any changes that have occurred during the reporting period.)
Due to the impact of COVID-19, our original proposal for assistance to the homeless population at the San Luis
Obispo library was suspended. In March 2021, we augmented our grant program as follows:
Every client has a unique history and set of needs, and the HOT continually needs to find ways to assist clients
and entice others to participate more fully with the program. Our grant request centers around a specific set of
needs that requires funds beyond our contract with San Luis Obispo County. Specifically:
Security Deposit Assistance and First Month's Rent Assistance for new homeless clients who are
entering our Housing programs.
Client Transportation, such as bus passes, wheelchairs, walkers, electric scooters, and bikes.
Client Dental/Vision Assistance – This would cover dental lab bills, the cost of bridges/implants,
corrective lenses, etc
Client Vocational and Educational Preparation, including fees for a California Driver’s License, truck
driving or other specialized training, special tools and/or equipment.
All GIA funds will go towards client supplies, outreach items, and special services like dentistry and vision
assistance. We define these as any item that provides temporary assistance and/or helps a homeless client get to
a higher level of independence.
Statistical Report: (This section should include the number of clients served, their cities of origin, the nature
of services provided, as well as any other statistics which are kept by the agency. The total number of clients
served also should be broken down by the type of service received.)
Total clients served by HOT in the City of San Luis Obispo: 481

Due: July 3t,2O2l
Organization: Tolosa Children's Dental Center
Program: Tolosa Children's Dental Center - SLO
Adm in istrator's Report:
Tolosa Children's Dental Center - San Luis Obispo (TCDC SLO) continues to provide accessto quality dental care in the city of San Luis Obispo. We have been fortunate to have thesupport of this GIA grant to supplement income. Costs of supplies and continue to increase.
We also have had to increase employee compensation to retain staff and be competitive in
the very challenging hiring market.
Services include diagnostic (exams and x-rays), preventive (cleanings, fluoride varnish, anddental sealants), and restorative -procedures (fillings, crowns, extractions). Emergencypatients can be seen in the SLO office when it is open and in the Paso Robles office Ouringthe remainder of the week. We are still experiencing a small percentage of families who are
not comfortable with dental care due to COVID-19. We continue to contact patients who had
appointments canceled during our 2O2O closure and any patient who has not been seen in thepast 12-18 months. We experienced a slight downturn in new patients during the past 6
months. Outreach through our partners at SLO County Health Dept., First S, ChpStb, etc.
continues to get the word out that low-cosUno-cost dental services are available for children.
We continue to recruit for an additional dentist to join our team, fulltime or part-time. This is
the most significant reason that we cannot increase capacity in our dental centers.
Statistical Report:
TCDC-SLO Operations
For.the reporting period of January 2021-June 2021, TCDC SLO was open a total of 3g days
and provided 601 dental appointments. Fifty percent of the patients seen were from the city
of SLO. We saw 30 new patients, of whom 63% were age 5 or younger and it was the first
visit for 54o/o of these new patients.
Denti-Cal was the payer for 99.9% of the patients seen. Over g0% of the patients are
considered at high risk for dental decay. We did have 210 "cavity-free" check-ups which
represent about 112 of the check-up appointments completed. Procedures included:o 428 examso 413 cleaningso 423 fluoride applications. 129 fillingso 43 crowns. 38 extractions. 81 sealantso Diagnostic imaging that includes x-rays and intra-oral photos. Oral Health Education

During the reporting period of July 1, 2020- June 30, 2021, TFS continued to provide critically needed
housing and services for our most vulnerable homeless population. TFS accepts referrals from community
agencies such as Sierra Vista and Twin Cities Medic al Center, Dignity Health, Adult Protective Services,
SLO County Dept. of Social Services, 40 Prado, ECHO and 5 Cities Homeless Coalition. We ask agencies
to provide medical verification of the need for non-congregate care.
TFS provides individual housing with supportive services and case management for 7 to 90 days to ensure
physical recovery, reduced hospital readmission, increased access to more nutritional food through local
and Federal food programs, increased access to income sources, connection to other service providers
and resources including options for more permanent housing.
MFH rented six furnished studio apartments, and a 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment, cleaned, and stocked
them to receive each new participant or person/family. Toiletries and food were provided at placement.
The MFH Case manager worked with each participant to determine their income, needs and willingness
for services, and developed a coordinated case plan ensuring to the absolute extent possible its goals
were attained. Case Management included transportation, application assistance and coordination with
family, friends, and other providers.
Statistical Report: (This section should include the number of clients served, their cities of origin, the nature

operations have changed due to COVID-19, please disclose briefly here.)
The grant provided for meetings with our housing insecure students in order to provide them with a hot
meal, success supports and education surrounding how to secure housing. Due to Covid-19, we were
unable to meet face-to-face and we found it difficult to identify our housing insecure students. We
conducted a campus wide survey to assist in identifying the students who identify as housing insecure. We
had 19 students who identified as housing insecure and reached out to each for support. We have provided
ten of those students with a $100 Grub Hub gift card to address food insecurity and direct support in the
areas of housing, textbooks, internet access, Federal emergency funding, and referrals to 40Prado and
5CHC. We have successfully seen one of the 19 students receive stable housing and employment. We
have met with ten students to address textbook, Wi-Fi, and other academic needs and to connect student
to County services.
