Certified Auto Repair (CAR) has been serving the local community for over 30 years.
We are a family-owned-and-operated auto repair business situated in Downtown SLO.
CAR offers full-service auto repair for import and domestic vehicles, utilizing advanced auto diagnostic
equipment. Most of our mechanics are UTI graduates and/or ASE Certified, trained and qualified to service
import and domestic vehicles, including hybrid and electric vehicles.
Our Services Include but are not limited to:
● Belts/Hoses
● Brake Inspection
● Brake Repair/Service
● Check Engine Light Diagnostics
● Drivability Diagnostics
● Engine/Transmission Services
● Hybrid Battery Replacement
● Hybrid Repair
● Oil Change / Scheduled Maintenance
● Suspension Repair/Service
CAR proposes utilizing Jewish Family Services (JFS), a 501(c)3 nonprofit human services
organization, to screen customers for economic hardship so that we may issue micro-grants to
have vehicles serviced. To our knowledge, no other businesses, organizations, or agencies in our
community provide vehicle repair assistance to people enduring financial hardship. Requests for
auto repairs to just 1 agency exceeded $40,000 in 2022.
This grant would:
● Expand our marketing to include outreach to Spanish speaking households and other
underserved/underrepresented groups (ie. Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Women,
disabled, LGBTQIA+).
● Grow our customer base, especially within the underserved community
● Provide vital vehicle repairs to underserved/underrepresented individuals improving
independence and safety.

Direct microgrant towards automotive repair: up to $800 per customer as long as funds are available.
Contribution from shop: Varies, up to $300 per customer. CAR will often and upon ability directly contribute
towards lowering the bill of the pre screened underserved customer.

Certified Auto Repair can provide an essential service for those who are economically challenged and
consistently underserved and underrepresented. There are no other businesses, agencies or organizations
in our community that formally provide vehicle repair assistance to people with financial hardship. The DEI
grant would allow us to: ● Expand our marketing to include outreach to Spanish speaking households and
other underserved groups (ie. Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Women, Students, diverseabled,
LGBTQIA+). ● Provide vital vehicle repairs to underserved/underrepresented individuals improving
independence and safety. ● Help women, seniors, homeless, diverseabled, medically indigent and many
others enduring financial hardships with life changing opportunities, enabling people to drive to work, school,
medical appointments and meet basic needs. ● With proper founding, we will be able to maintain and grow
our services to the underserved for years to come.
It is fairly easy to keep in touch with these customers over time. When we follow up with them, if they are still
able to rely on their vehicles and get to/from work/school, therapy, etc, we will consider this program a
success. All the repair and customer data are easily accessible in our point-of-sale system, which makes the
program trackable.

DEI Grant Business Plan for Certified Auto Repair:
At Certified Auto Repair, we pride ourselves in being an integral part of the San Luis Obispo community
and have been striving to take care of all of our SLO neighbors as much as possible. Our owner and
many of our employees belong to minority communities and we are very sensitive to our communities’
needs. We understand how important it is for everyone in our amazing area to be able to have reliable
transportation to and from school and work, especially the underserved, who are often even more
reliable upon their vehicles than the more affluent community members. We understand that without
reliable transportation, many of our clients would not be able to go to school or work, which can have
extremely negative results in their lives. Without reliable transportation, our community members
would not be able to get themselves or their children to school or work, and many may end up back on
the streets. Below is a break down of some of the ways these funds will help us continue servicing our
communities as well as our process for serving those in need:
● Increase marketing to underserved/underrepresented individuals (ie. Spanish speakers,
Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Women, LGBTQIA+, diverse-abled) using printed
materials, advertising including social media and internet, 211 listing (budget $500-1,000 per month)
● Jewish Family Services of SLO (JFS) will contact community organizations (including but
not limited to: 211, Access Support Network, California Department of Rehabilitation,
CAPSLO, Center for Family Strengthening, Diversity Coalition, Gala Pride and Diversity
Center, Independent Living Resource Center, Latino Outreach Council, Lumina Alliance,
Transitions Mental Health Association, Restorative Partners, Womenade of Estero Bay)
distributing information and flyers explaining the project.
● Customers complete an online application for assistance with paying for their vehicle repairs, which
includes stating their needs and demographic information, all of which is entered into a spreadsheet for
record keeping and evaluation.
● They are then interviewed by the JFS Intake Coordinator and submit supporting
documents (ie. Identification, proof of income, written estimate of repair).
● Determination of eligibility for assistance is made based on need, income (based on
200% of the federal poverty level guidelines), and availability of funds.
● Once determined eligible, a micro-grant (up to $800) will be given to the customer to
cover part or all of the vehicle repair. If only part of the repair is covered, JFS will work
with the customer to find the balance of funds.
DocuSign Envelope ID: F12E5606-D8F1-4931-BC04-B6825490DC16
Page 210 of 477
● The vehicle repair is scheduled and completed.
● Follow-up with the customer with surveys to ensure satisfaction with the work
performed (via email and text) and customer still able to use car in longer term.
Breakdown of expenses: (exact numbers to be determined based on availability of funds)
Advertising: Around $500 per month
Print material (ie flyers): Around $500 per month
Micro-grants for vehicle repairs: $100-$800 per customer, based on repair costs and availabilities of
funds.
● Not all customers in underserved communities will require the micro-grants. Most are able to pay for
their own repairs. We would like to be able to be more accessible to the community at large and let
them know we are here to help. We employ Spanish speaking Service Advisors and Technicians. Our
shop owner is also in the minority community and fluent in Spanish.
Program Sustainability:
Certified Auto Repair has a long history of taking care of those around us. Since our conception, we
have always had a compassion for helping those that need it to the best of our ability. We have been
working with the JFS for a couple of years now and are both enjoying the relationship. It seems that we
will be continuing our program for as long as needed, as long as we’re able. Receiving the DEI grant will
have an enormous impact in our ability to serve, and if it is available in the years to come, our program
will certainly thrive. As far as we see it there will always be people in need, so the longer this grant is
available for, the more folks will be able to be assisted.

Certified Auto Repair’s Statement of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:
Certified Auto Repair provides services to anyone in our community regardless of their circumstances,
religious beliefs, race, ethnicity, national origin, diversability, gender identity/expression or sexual
orientation. What matters to us is that our customers can get to and from work and school reliably.
To screen for economic hardship we would utilize Jewish Family Services of San Luis Obispo (JFS), a
501(c)3 nonprofit human services organization that serves anyone in need regardless of their
circumstances, religious beliefs, race, ethnicity, national origin, diversability, gender identity/expression
or sexual orientation.
The Certified Auto Repair team puts people first. Our mechanics ensure vehicles are reliable to serve our
customers’ needs. We believe in a shared responsibility to support impactful changes throughout our
community and take a holistic approach, assessing the various needs of the individual or family. We
continuously evaluate the evolving challenges of our diverse community and adapt our support to the
resulting needs. "We are your community repair shop".

Profit and Loss
Since March 30, 2022
Note: Prior to last year, the business made half of its income from
consulting services and was profitable. The loss last year is
because we shifted from consulting to developing new products in
a new market - maker and educational electronics, and are in the
process of ramping up in that market. We cut back on labor in the
fall of last year to extend our runway. We are privately funded
through at least summer of 2024 with our current rate of burn.

AMENDMENT No. 1 TO DEI SLO BUSINESS GRANT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT, dated ___________________ for the convenience of the parties hereto, is
between the City of San Luis Obispo, a chartered municipal corporation (referred to herein as
CITY), and Banchan Foods (referred to herein as GRANTEE).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, on June 29, 2023, GRANTEE and CITY entered into an Agreement for Diversity
Equity Inclusion SLO Business Grant (the “Agreement”), in which GRANTEE agreed to provide
and increase culinary diversity and promote Korean culture in San Luis Obispo as further described
in GRANTEE’s application submitted to the CITY on March 28, 2023 (the “Services”); and
WHEREAS, GRANTEE was unable to complete the Services by June 30, 2024 because of delays
in processing by the State for the Processed Foods Registration permit, and, after being forced to
move business locations, GRANTEE was required to amend their State and County operating
permits; and
WHEREAS, GRANTEE is now able to complete the services further described in Exhibit 1
because they have successfully obtained the required State and County permits for operation, and
the remaining unused funds will be used to amend their permits to reflect their new business
location; and
WHEREAS, the CITY reaffirms its finding that GRANTEE’s services will provide a benefit to
the community by enhancing a sense of belonging for all people and contributing to a community
that is welcoming, inclusive, equitable, and safe, and the goals of GRANTEE’S services will be
properly met if GRANTEE is allowed a reasonable extension of time to perform the services.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, obligations and covenants
hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1)AMENDMENTS. The parties agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
a)Paragraph 1 is deleted and replaced as follows:

complete the services described in Exhibit 1 of this Amendment by December 31, 2024.
b) Paragraph 2 is deleted and replaced as follows:

DEI SLO Business Grant
FY 2022-2023
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF AGREEMENT
Thank you for considering this request for extension of the DIVERSITY EQUITY INCLUSION SLO
BUSINESS GRANT 22-23 Agreement between Trina Lee/Banchan Foods and the City of SLO.
Due to setbacks in securing the necessary permits to operate, the grant funds have not been exhausted
before the end of the Agreement period. Therefore, I am requesting a 6-month extension to the
Agreement.
I experienced setbacks in the process of securing the necessary permits to operate, which delayed the
launch of my business by several months. The most significant setback was the processing of my
California Processed Foods Registration application by the California Department of Public Health’s Food
and Drug Branch.
Permit Application Processing Delays
Commercial kimchi production requires several permits. One of these permits is a Processed Foods
Registration from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Navigating the permitting process
was extremely challenging, but after numerous meetings and phone calls with local and State Health
Department representatives, as well as outside resources, I completed my application for Processed
Foods Registration in September 2023. Unfortunately, the State had a backlog of applications, and
processing took 5 months. I received final approval on February 6, 2024.
Subsequently, I applied for the Dependent Food Service Operator Permit from the SLO County
Environmental Health Services Division, which was approved on March 25, 2024. After that, I applied for
the Temporary Food Facility Multiple Events Permit, which was approved on May 9, 2024. I made my first
legal sale the following day on May 10, 2024.
Unfortunately, the period of time during which I was able to legally sell kimchi was very brief. Ownership
of the Commercial Kitchen space I rented changed, and the new landlord refused to honor the terms of
my lease. I was forced to move. On May 22, 2024, I moved to a new commercial kitchen location within
Exhibit A
Page 242 of 477
the City of SLO. Since all of my permits are attached to the old kitchen address, I will have to obtain new
permits before I can return to legally selling my kimchi.

Banchan Foods is a new kimchi business that seeks to increase culinary diversity and promote Korean
culture in San Luis Obispo. With a grant request amount of $25,000 and a total project budget of $55,000
(with the other $30,000 self-funded), Banchan Foods will produce and sell kimchi directly to consumers
through its website and at local farmers' markets. The company will also wholesale the product to SLO

To ensure sustainability, Banchan Foods will prioritize using locally sourced ingredients, eco-friendly
packaging, and a zero-waste production process. To make Korean culture more accessible and inclusive,
Banchan Foods will offer a range of kimchi options to cater to different dietary needs and preferences,
including spicy, vegan, and traditional options.
In addition to selling kimchi, Banchan Foods will use its social media platforms to promote Korean culture
through instructional and informative videos about the significance of kimchi to Korean culture. The business
owner intends to collaborate with the local Korean American community, including the CalPoly Korean
American Student Association, to increase community involvement and foster appreciation for Korean
culture.

2. Summary of P&L/Financials (max 1 page)*
It will provide a new and unique culinary experience to the community, which will increase the diversity of
food options available in the city. This will not only benefit those who are already familiar with Korean
cuisine, but also those who may not have been exposed to it before, thereby promoting cultural exchange
and appreciation. Secondly, as a Korean American-owned business that specializes in producing a
traditional Korean dish, Banchan Foods will bring visibility to the underrepresented Korean American
community in SLO. By sharing my cultural heritage and story through food, I hope to foster understanding
and appreciation for Korean culture among the wider community. In doing so, Banchan Foods will also serve
as a unifying force for the local Korean American community, who will see their culture represented and
celebrated through this business. Finally, Banchan Foods will utilize its social media platform to promote
Korean culture and increase understanding and appreciation for Korean food and traditions. Through
instructional videos and educational content, Banchan Foods will provide a window into the rich history and
cultural significance of kimchi and other traditional Korean dishes. Furthermore, Banchan Foods plans to
collaborate with the local Korean American community to promote and celebrate Korean culture in SLO.
One avenue for collaboration is through engagement with the Korean American Student Association at
CalPoly. By partnering with the club, Banchan Foods can engage with the community and foster a deeper
appreciation for Korean food and traditions. Through these efforts, Banchan Foods will increase the visibility
of Korean culture and provide a unique and valuable contribution to the culinary diversity of SLO. By
promoting inclusivity and understanding of diverse cultures, Banchan Foods will also foster a more
connected and supportive community for all.
Indicators of Success:
- average of at least 100 units sold per week
- available in at least 5 brick and mortar locations within the first year
- average of at least 20 instances of social media engagement (likes, comments, shares) per week

Concussion Navigation Services (CNS) is the only specialty concussion rehab clinic on the Central Coast.
Insurance coverage and reimbursement for patients and healthcare providers is inadequate, therefore CNS
does not accept insurance. While CNS fees for initial evaluation ($125, 90 minutes), and concussion rehab
appointments ($90, 60 minutes) are very reasonable, out-of-pocket medical costs can still be prohibitive.
Every brain is important, and should have access to appropriate care, regardless of insurance or income.
Youth athletes are especially vulnerable, including children who participate in recreational activities, club
sports, and school teams. Others who may be impacted include those experiencing healthcare disparity,
Medical/CenCal clients, out-of-area students, and individuals who cannnot work because of their
concussion.
The purpose of this proposal is to secure funding to offset the cost of concussion care for the
uninsured/underinsured, marginalized, or economically insecure. The intention is to create sliding scale or
pro bono options, so that ability to pay is not a barrier to brain health. Current research evidence states that
“rest & wait” is no longer considered best practice; early, active rehab leads to best outcomes. Ensuring that
everyone has the opportunity to heal completely after concussion supports developmental, academic,
business & community success.
A new program
Continuation of an existing program
10,000
$10,000 would allow CNS to see 2 patients per month pro bono or sliding scale for an initial assessment,
plus 2 follow up appointments. (IA= $125, FU x 2= $180; $305 per patient. $305 x 2 patients, x 12 months =
$7320; $2680 remaining allows for pro bono or sliding scale pre-injury baseline testing, additional patients,
additional appointment per patient, etc.
100
Diversity: people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community experience health care bias and
disparity as a statistical fact, leading to below average access to affordable health care option, or access to
healthcare providers to represent DEI standards. Equity: every brain should have access to the best
concussion care available in the community. Inclusion: every individual should feel safe in seeking care after
concussion, regardless of their individual circumstance.

Market Analysis
Comprehensive, multidimensional concussion management is overwhelming for patients as well
as health care professionals. According to most current research, concussion management and
full return to pre-injury status is a complicated process, requiring multiple specialists. In addition,
each brain injury is unique, and must be treated in an individualized manner for best outcomes.
Best-practice recommendations for recovery strategies continue to evolve in real time. CNS
offers navigation of case management throughout the continuum of care that patients or health
DocuSign Envelope ID: 61AD3728-B55B-4840-B17F-C1A16DB66403
Page 265 of 477
care providers can access in order to facilitate & expedite full and complete recovery from
concussion.
To date, it appears there is no other service in the local medical community that offers this level
of comprehensive care. There is no other concussion specialty rehab clinic within approximately
150 miles. The closest concussion-based service is Cottage Hospital, with locations in Solvang
and Goleta. There are concussion care programs in San Francisco, Bakersfield, and Los
Angeles, which are all approximately 200 miles away. There are individual physical therapy
practices that offer concussion rehab. Physical therapy appointments are generally shorter and
utilize aides to carry out pre-set plans of care. They will also perform only those interventions for
which they can bill insurance for reimbursement, limiting the degree to which a patient’s care
can be individualized based on their needs.
San Luis Obispo County has a very high volume of physically active residents, spanning all
ages and skill levels. There are 9 local high schools, a Division I university, a community
college, and countless youth, club, intramural and recreational sports/activities.
Profile of target customer
Physically active individuals who desire to recover to pre-morbid levels of physical, cognitive,
professional and/or academic function. Acute and chronic cases, as well as those youth athletes
who are mandated to complete CA/CIF return to play protocols. Individuals who have no access
to an AT, or whose case requires a higher level of service than an AT is able to provide.
CA State Youth Sports Concussion Law
CNS will adhere to the following state mandates:
In accordance with California state law (Ca Ed Code 49475, AB25, AB2007):
A. An athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or other head injury in an
athletic activity shall be immediately removed from the athletic activity for the
remainder of the day, and shall not be permitted to return to any athletic activity until
he or she is evaluated by a licensed health care provider.
B. The athlete shall not be permitted to return to athletic activity until he or she receives
written clearance to return to athletic activity from a licensed health care provider. If
the licensed health care provider determines that the athlete sustained a concussion
or other head injury, the athlete shall also complete a graduated return-to-play
protocol of no less than seven days in duration under the supervision of a licensed
health care provider.
C. “Licensed health care provider” means a licensed health care provider who is trained
in the evaluation and management of concussions and is acting within the scope of
his or her practice.
D. To be in compliance with California Interscholastic Federation (CIF): The “scope of
practice” for licensed health care providers and medical professionals is defined by
California state statutes. This scope of practice will limit the evaluation to a medical
doctor (MD) or doctor of osteopathy (DO).
For purposes of the policies and procedures of CNS to satisfy the requirement of the CA State
Youth Sport Concussion Law, the evaluation required of a licensed health care provider shall be
performed by the PTP, who may be a California licensed medical doctor (MD) or doctor of
osteopathy (DO).

From decades of experience in downtown restaurants, to starting a starting catering business, and now
opening a store front, we are excited to provide coffee culture with a Mexican twist as well as as a small
Mexican fusion menu in downtown SLO. We have big dreams of sourcing all products from diverse
providers, of showcasing- and underrepresented- local talent on our walls, creating a system for donations
back to the community and being a hub for cultural experiences. We especially hope that our Latino
community, especially those who work inservice in downtown SLO, feel at home in our cafe. We have
families made up of immigrants, non English speakers, LGBTQ and neurodiverse members. Inclusion is our
game! "Corazon" means heart in Spanish. We put all our heart into our food and our business, and it is in
the heart of our beautiful downtown!

Vision
Our vision is to be a community gathering space for both tourists and locals where our customers
can experience popular coffee drinks as well as learn and appreciate aspects of Mexican and
Latin American culture not widely seen locally. Specifically, we hope to share about Southern
Mexico and indigenous Mayan recipes. Our vision is that our diverse Latino population will feel
at home in our space and that others will feel they have had a cultural experience after they
leave. We want to be involved in our community by donating to local nonprofits. We hope to
support other local BIPOC and women owned businesses by contracting with them for things
such as baked goods and marketing support.
Mission
To serve drinks and a small menu in the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo influenced by our
experiences of coffee culture in Southern Mexico and Latin America.
Owners: Pedro Arias Lopez, Crescencio Villar and Sara McGrath. The proprietors of Corazon
Café have over 35 years of combined experience in popular downtown restaurants and cafes.
They have successfully run a catering business for the last 5 years and have developed
relationships with many local businesses and community members. They have participated in
street festivals such as Dia de los Muertos, catered for many private parties, and have regular
pop-ups at local wineries and breweries.
Operations: Owners Pedro and Crescencio to work full time. 3-4 part time employees.
Hours: 7 am to 5 pm Sunday-Wednesday, 7am-7pm Thursday-Saturday
Menu and Customer base: Being centrally located in the very heart of downtown we will
naturally attract tourists passing by. But what drives our love of the food and beverage business
is getting to know our fellow locals. Corazon Café will open early for those who work nearby.
We hope to have specials for our downtown crew.
As with any quality coffee shop, we will have tried and true drinks such as latte, cappuccino and
espresso with choice of milk (regular, almond, soy and oat). For the younger college crowd, we
will have drinks such as matcha latte and golden milk latte. For our Latino community and all
who appreciate the flavors of southern Mexico we will have some fusion specialties such as
horchalatte, café de olla and Mexican cacao with roasted corn and cinnamon.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0F5E8DA8-EC90-4313-AAAA-946C17B36346
Page 277 of 477
Our food items will include sweet and savory waffles, burritos and bowls, salads and local
pastries and pan dulce. We believe in having delicious options for those who have vegan or
gluten free diets. The first month’s menu will be small as we ascertain how much can be done in
our small back prep room.
Industry Analysis: There are 2 coffee shops within 2 blocks of our proposed location on Higuera
St. We have done a cost analysis and will have drinks and products at comparable prices.
Community involvement: All owners have graduated from the Chamber of Commerce
Leadership SLO program and will become members of the Chamber of Commerce and
Downtown SLO. We have participated for the last two years with At Her Table, a collective of
local woman owned and co-owned businesses with over 250 members. We will have artist
displays and participate in Art After Dark with curation by co-owner Sara McGrath who is an
artist and advocate for children with special needs and women living with breast cancer. Sara
hopes to give space to under-represented artists and give them a chance to shine.
Media and Marketing Plan:
Corazon Café is connected to the catering company Corazon 805 Tacos which has appeared in
the following media:

Our catering company already has a successful social media following of over 1700 followers
and we plan to capitalize on our existing client base and followers and create new pages on
Instagram and Facebook to promote our products and our business. Our memberships in the
different community organizations mentioned above will also be an avenue of promotion. Sara
will use her background in the arts and her last 5 years of social media experience to create an
online presence for Corazon Café
Diversity Equity and inclusion statement
The founders of Corazon Café believe in the inclusion of all individuals in the economic and
social landscape of San Luis Obispo. We believe food (comida) and drink bring people together.
We believe in the power of “comida” to connect and teach about culture and community.
We want to create a space for our hard working immigrant community downtown while also
bridging and connecting them to the dominant culture. We want our BIPOC, neurodiverse,
LGBTQ neighbors to feel welcome in the café space we create. “Corazon” means heart in
Spanish and we want everyone to feel the heart we put into the drinks, the food, and the space.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0F5E8DA8-EC90-4313-AAAA-946C17B36346
Page 278 of 477
Our first project, upon opening Corazon Café will be our early
morning “Buenos Dias SLO” coffee hour. Latino immigrants who
work early morning hours in downtown SLO will be able to come to
Corazon Café for café de olla, a traditional way to drink coffee in
Mexico, made in a big pot with cinnamon and piloncillo. There will be
pan dulce, Mexican sweet bread. This will be open to all who wish to
consume, and we hope that we can help build a warm and inviting
community space.

On a personal level, small business owners sometimes need support to become successful
entrepreneurs. That support creates the possibility of success and stability. Pedro and
Crescencio came to this community as immigrants without the dominant language to help them
access opportunities. Over the years they have worked hard to pursue the American Dream:
economic success and something to pass on to their children. For Pedro and Sara, raising a
child with a disability has opened their eyes to the lack of economic opportunities for
neurodiverse adults. A future dream is to have their son be part of the family business, and
then also provide space in their café for others with disabilities to work and feel integrated into
the community.

Mission Headstrong strives to decrease equity gaps that exist in the health and fitness community by making
these services and their accompanying health benefits accessible to all. It also strives to elevate the fitness
industry by certifying coaches/trainers to serve special populations, thereby broadening their involvement
with the community. We are requesting seed money that allows for all coaches (trainers) to be trained in how
to best serve the Autistic population. This can be a place for Autistic individuals to train for something they
never felt comfortable doing at any other gym or through partnerships with various developmental services,
meeting with a certified coach weekly can be built into a treatment plan. We want Mission Headstrong to be
the space that provides safety and belonging no matter the developmental and/or physical abilities. We hope
that our Autism Personal Training program will not only increase the overall health of individuals with autism
in San Luis Obispo but will also give them a sense of belonging in the local fitness community. This service
is difficult, if not impossible to find in SLO County and many related therapies (Occupational/Physical
Therapy) for this population can be cost prohibitive for low income individuals/families. Included in the
application is the proposal made by Eric Chessen, who is the founder of the evidence-based program, to
Mission Headstrong. We cannot serve Autistic individuals in the culturally competent way we hope without a
proven training and Eric’s program is reputable and effective.

Mission Headstrong is being built with the sole purpose of benefiting underrepresented and underserved
people and the Autistic population is the first group of people we hope to appropriately and competently
coach. We believe this program will decrease the marginalization of these individuals and their families by
paving the way for community and connection. We also hope to lead by example in serving special
populations, using our experience to educate the community and other fitness/wellness providers about the
equity gaps in our industry, thereby encouraging them to join us in the pursuit of providing fitness and its
accompanying health benefits to all. As we launch a healthy, sustainable organization, we hope we will then
go on to affect the citizens of San Luis Obispo in additional ways including: providing fitness programming
by trauma informed coaches for women in domestic violence shelters, gym memberships for previously
incarcerated individuals and those facing economic hardship, and much more. * Autism Fitness was created
for the Autistic community, however, Eric (the founder) is extending his approaches to be inclusive for all
neurodivergent people. He also has two more certifications we want to have two coaches go through that
will allow for those coaches to train future coaches without having to hire Autism Fitness. We hope to offer
this certification to other fitness centers throughout the county in a few years. *We are also pursuing other
streams of funding (ie % of gym Headstrong gym membership goes to Mission Headstrong, other grants,
fundraising) in order to ensure economic hardship does not interfere with services.
All 15 coaches will successfully complete their certification by January 2024 and will be prepared to serve
folks with autism.

2 Autism Fitness Mission Headstrong Proposal
Introduction
Mission Headstrong, under the direction of Robby McLaughlin is poised to bring a more
inclusive, accessible, and effective model of fitness to the San Luis Obispo area of
California. The challenges to this vison include understanding neurodiverse populations
including their general and specific life needs, structuring fitness programs and
protocols, staff training and development, and scalability.
For many children, teens, and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other
neurodivergent diagnoses, high quality fitness programs with appropriately trained
professionals are inaccessible. Continued presence of this gap results in lower quality
of life, life expectancy, and the high potential of medical complications otherwise
preventable through ongoing long-term, fitness programming.
Mission Headstrong has contacted Autism Fitness™ for certification and ongoing
consulting. Through a strategic relationship Mission Headstrong will be trained and
empowered to meet the fitness needs of the SLO, CA autism and neurodivergent
community.
The Autism Fitness® Difference
Autism Fitness™ is the bridge between the fitness world and the autism/neurodivergent
community. With 20 years of developing and implementing successful fitness and
adapted physical education programs, Autism Fitness™ has been a pioneer in programs
that deliver intended outcomes and beyond. The AF method has been validated and
replicated in an array of settings from homes to schools to organizations that serve
diverse members around the world.
The Autism Fitness™ approach is based upon the PAC Profile® method. The PAC
Profile® is an unparalleled model for assessing and strategically planning fitness and
APE. Assessing Physical, Adaptive, and Cognitive functioning as they related to fitness
activities, the PAC Profile™ eliminates the guesswork and provides appropriate starting
points according to individual baseline skills.
Programs are both individualized and progressive. The foundation of our fitness
approach is developing strength, stability, and motor planning skills using the Autism
Fitness™ approach to functional exercise. This process develops abilities that
generalize from the gym/fitness setting to enhancing activities of daily living (ADLs).
This program can serve preventative measures in injury prevention and building physical
resilience.

3 Autism Fitness Mission Headstrong Proposal
Partnership with Autism Fitness™
Imagine Mission Headstrong and the SLO community having a regionally renowned
reputation for offering fitness programs that truly work for this population. This can be a
turning point in health and self-efficacy for current and future generations.
Autism Fitness™ is equipped to provide Certification and ongoing training/consulting for
Mission Headstrong. We invest our time and expertise into long-term relationships
helping to light the path ahead. From providing the foundations of programming to
strategies for each individual, AF provides the answers at each step.
Phase 1: Identifying Leaders
Autism Fitness will work directly with point personnel to identify where programs will be
run, outreach coordination, and continuing education and support following
Certification. We know that once programs are implemented, new and more specific
questions will arise.
Phase 2: Certification
It all begins with the Autism Fitness Certification Level 1, providing the standard
practices in AF with the practical skills for delivering programs in any environment.
Level 1 students discover the reasoning behind the PAC Profile®, exercise selection,
positive behavior support, and program design. Additionally, attendees get access to
the Autism Fitness™ Toolbox including our vast library of exercise progressions and
regressions.
The Certification process is a blended learning model consisting of 8 online modules
(typically 3-4 weeks to complete) followed by a full-day live practical. For groups of 8+
Autism Fitness™ offers closed-door on-site practical training.
Phase 3: Ongoing Support
The Certification begins the journey. The critical questions are asked once programs are
implemented. We know this, and are ready to support ongoing programming review,
input, and support. Autism Fitness™ consulting will continue to provide direct continuing
education to Mission Headstrong as part of a long-term strategy for optimal
performance of staff and integrity of the program as it expands.

Headstrong DEI Statement
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is an essential field as there are many historic and systemic ways
entire people groups have been oppressed, discriminated against, and marginalized. In order to see a
day where all people belong, there needs to be focused efforts in closing all equity gaps that exist in our
world, nation, state, and in our community. Every person and industry plays a part in this and either
advances these efforts or creates barriers (knowingly or unknowingly) and at Headstrong, we want to be
a place that advances DEI, which is why Mission Headstrong was created.
It was always the intention of the owner (Robby) to have a non- profit branch to the gym, though that is
not a common model of a gym. There are many barriers that exist in the health, wellness, and fitness
community such as a lack of representation racially of trainers/coaches, female identifying athletes
needing a safe place to work out, neurodivergent community needing a place that understands sensory
needs, Veterans with history of PTSD needing a place that is predictable with sounds, and economically
disadvantaged people who do not have the means to pay for a membership. These are all populations
who fall under the DEI umbrella and Mission Headstrong wants to close these equity gaps and be a
model for other gyms/fitness centers/health & Wellness centers of the efforts that can be made to be
an inclusive environment. There are many barriers for historically marginalized people in our City and
County, and though we cannot address all equity issues, we can within our field and apply DEI values,
principles, and approaches.
A very important pillar of DEI is doing the introspective work to undo biases we have and to ensure we
do not compound existing traumas, which is why we are seeking robust and comprehensive trainings in
order to be transformed and grow in our cultural competency as we serve various
underrepresented/underserved populations. We have to be willing to be transformed and that will be
what brings sustainable trauma-informed services that are client-centered and create spaces of
belonging that our community has needed for many years.

I am writing to propose:
1. Larger and more Seeds community events that seek to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion through
wellness and environmental awareness. Our events aim to bring people of different backgrounds and
cultures together to promote a shared vision of a more sustainable and equitable world.
Our goal is to create an inclusive, welcoming and safe space for all members of the community to come
together, learn from each other, and promote healthy living and environmental sustainability. By bringing
together people of different backgrounds and experiences, we hope to foster a sense of unity and
understanding that will lead to a more equitable and just society.
The events in the past and future events will include a variety of activities, including yoga and meditation
sessions, mindfulness practices featuring free healthy and sustainable foods, free music festival, educational
talks on environmental issues such as climate change, pollution, and waste reduction. We will also provide
opportunities for attendees to engage with participating local organizations and businesses that promote
wellness and sustainability. To ensure that our events are accessible to all community members, we will be
offering them free of charge.
In addition to promoting environmental awareness, our event will also serve as a fundraising initiative for
local charities and Calpoly organizations that share our vision of a more equitable, healthy and sustainable
world. We believe that by partnering with these organizations, we can have a greater impact on the SLO
community and create lasting change.
2. Providing affordable and nutritious food options for underserved and underrepresented communities. As
we know, food insecurity is a growing issue, particularly for those living in poverty or in areas with limited
access to healthy food options.
This project aims to address this issue by creating a menu model that can help bring down the prices of
nutritious foods and make them accessible to all by adding additonal food options at Seeds that can be 25%
less than current prices.
Costs associated with launching and maintaining this, including new menus boards, handheld menus, POS
reconstruction, purchasing new packaging in bulk, new plateware, and advertisement.
Overall, our project has the potential to make a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of
underserved communities. We believe that by having more affordable options, we can create a sustainable
model that will continue to benefit the SLO community for years to come.
With your support, we can make more consistent and accesible events a reality and create a positive impact
on affordability, health, and wellbeing of underserved communities.

make a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of underserved communities. We believe that by
having more affordable options, we can create a sustainable model that will continue to benefit the SLO
community for years to come.

CAR proposes utilizing Jewish Family Services (JFS), a 501(c)3 nonprofit human services
organization, to screen customers for economic hardship so that we may issue micro-grants to
have vehicles serviced. To our knowledge, no other businesses, organizations, or agencies in our
community provide vehicle repair assistance to people enduring financial hardship. Requests for
auto repairs to just 1 agency exceeded $40,000 in 2022.
This grant would:
● Expand our marketing to include outreach to Spanish speaking households and other
underserved/underrepresented groups (ie. Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Women,
disabled, LGBTQIA+).

consistently underserved and underrepresented. There are no other businesses, agencies or organizations
in our community that formally provide vehicle repair assistance to people with financial hardship. The DEI
grant would allow us to: ● Expand our marketing to include outreach to Spanish speaking households and
other underserved groups (ie. Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Women, Students, diverseabled,
LGBTQIA+). ● Provide vital vehicle repairs to underserved/underrepresented individuals improving
independence and safety. ● Help women, seniors, homeless, diverseabled, medically indigent and many
others enduring financial hardships with life changing opportunities, enabling people to drive to work, school,
medical appointments and meet basic needs. ● With proper founding, we will be able to maintain and grow
our services to the underserved for years to come.
It is fairly easy to keep in touch with these customers over time. When we follow up with them, if they are still
able to rely on their vehicles and get to/from work/school, therapy, etc, we will consider this program a
success. All the repair and customer data are easily accessible in our point-of-sale system, which makes the
program trackable.

DEI Grant Business Plan for Certified Auto Repair:
At Certified Auto Repair, we pride ourselves in being an integral part of the San Luis Obispo community
and have been striving to take care of all of our SLO neighbors as much as possible. Our owner and
many of our employees belong to minority communities and we are very sensitive to our communities’
needs. We understand how important it is for everyone in our amazing area to be able to have reliable
transportation to and from school and work, especially the underserved, who are often even more
reliable upon their vehicles than the more affluent community members. We understand that without
reliable transportation, many of our clients would not be able to go to school or work, which can have
extremely negative results in their lives. Without reliable transportation, our community members
would not be able to get themselves or their children to school or work, and many may end up back on
the streets. Below is a break down of some of the ways these funds will help us continue servicing our
communities as well as our process for serving those in need:
● Increase marketing to underserved/underrepresented individuals (ie. Spanish speakers,
Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Women, LGBTQIA+, diverse-abled) using printed
materials, advertising including social media and internet, 211 listing (budget $500-1,000 per month)
● Jewish Family Services of SLO (JFS) will contact community organizations (including but
not limited to: 211, Access Support Network, California Department of Rehabilitation,
CAPSLO, Center for Family Strengthening, Diversity Coalition, Gala Pride and Diversity
Center, Independent Living Resource Center, Latino Outreach Council, Lumina Alliance,
Transitions Mental Health Association, Restorative Partners, Womenade of Estero Bay)
distributing information and flyers explaining the project.
● Customers complete an online application for assistance with paying for their vehicle repairs, which
includes stating their needs and demographic information, all of which is entered into a spreadsheet for
record keeping and evaluation.
● They are then interviewed by the JFS Intake Coordinator and submit supporting
documents (ie. Identification, proof of income, written estimate of repair).
● Determination of eligibility for assistance is made based on need, income (based on
200% of the federal poverty level guidelines), and availability of funds.
● Once determined eligible, a micro-grant (up to $800) will be given to the customer to
cover part or all of the vehicle repair. If only part of the repair is covered, JFS will work
with the customer to find the balance of funds.
DocuSign Envelope ID: F12E5606-D8F1-4931-BC04-B6825490DC16
Page 323 of 477
● The vehicle repair is scheduled and completed.
● Follow-up with the customer with surveys to ensure satisfaction with the work
performed (via email and text) and customer still able to use car in longer term.
Breakdown of expenses: (exact numbers to be determined based on availability of funds)
Advertising: Around $500 per month
Print material (ie flyers): Around $500 per month
Micro-grants for vehicle repairs: $100-$800 per customer, based on repair costs and availabilities of
funds.
● Not all customers in underserved communities will require the micro-grants. Most are able to pay for
their own repairs. We would like to be able to be more accessible to the community at large and let
them know we are here to help. We employ Spanish speaking Service Advisors and Technicians. Our
shop owner is also in the minority community and fluent in Spanish.
Program Sustainability:
Certified Auto Repair has a long history of taking care of those around us. Since our conception, we
have always had a compassion for helping those that need it to the best of our ability. We have been
working with the JFS for a couple of years now and are both enjoying the relationship. It seems that we
will be continuing our program for as long as needed, as long as we’re able. Receiving the DEI grant will
have an enormous impact in our ability to serve, and if it is available in the years to come, our program
will certainly thrive. As far as we see it there will always be people in need, so the longer this grant is
available for, the more folks will be able to be assisted.

Certified Auto Repair’s Statement of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:
Certified Auto Repair provides services to anyone in our community regardless of their circumstances,
religious beliefs, race, ethnicity, national origin, diversability, gender identity/expression or sexual
orientation. What matters to us is that our customers can get to and from work and school reliably.
To screen for economic hardship we would utilize Jewish Family Services of San Luis Obispo (JFS), a
501(c)3 nonprofit human services organization that serves anyone in need regardless of their
circumstances, religious beliefs, race, ethnicity, national origin, diversability, gender identity/expression
or sexual orientation.
The Certified Auto Repair team puts people first. Our mechanics ensure vehicles are reliable to serve our
customers’ needs. We believe in a shared responsibility to support impactful changes throughout our
community and take a holistic approach, assessing the various needs of the individual or family. We
continuously evaluate the evolving challenges of our diverse community and adapt our support to the
resulting needs. "We are your community repair shop".

offer our architectural, landscape and interiors expertise to design spaces for our community to live, work

studies to build a more welcoming, diverse, and inclusive city. $15,000 in grant funds will help our
knowledgeable team provide five feasibility studies to local nonprofit developers from when the grant is

CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO DEI BUSINESS GRANT PROPOAL
2023-24
THE BUSINESS PROPOSAL/PLAN (MAX 3 PG)
TEN OVER STUDIO will support The City of San Luis Obispo’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts by
conducting feasibility studies focused on affordable and workforce housing for local nonprofit developers.
Our team has extensive knowledge and experience in providing housing feasibility studies and is a valuable
resource that many developers may not be aware of. Due to limited internal resources our team has not
been able to meet the feasibility study demand. With additional financial support of this service, we can
make more of an impact on the effort to build more affordable housing and support the City of San Luis
Obispo’s 2021-2023 Major City Goals. We are directly supporting the City’s Housing and Homelessness goal
of expanding the housing options for all, continuing to facilitate the production of housing, including the
necessary supporting infrastructure, with an emphasis on affordable and workforce housing through this
grant opportunity. This ties everything into the Office of Diversity’s work in advancing San Luis Obispo’s
effort to be a more inclusive and equitable community and we believe we have the perfect team to help
achieve this.
TEN OVER is an innovative, experienced, and award-winning architecture firm providing the highest levels of
design and customer service. We offer full architectural, landscape, interiors and media services with
thoughtful, honest advice, and an emphasis on environmentally sensitive design. TEN OVER started in 2014
as a local architecture firm with a simple mission; leave the world better than we found it. Everything we
do is centered around making the world a better place. Utilizing our skills, experience, and passion, we
create places and spaces that connect people with each other and with their surroundings. We feel very
fortunate to live and work in beautiful parts of the world and have the opportunity help our clients meet
their needs and fulfill their dreams while leaving a minimal environmental footprint. Part of our dream is to
help make the place we call home a more equitable and welcoming community for all.
To gain this knowledge, we listen intently to our client's needs, goals, and priorities. As an industry leader
and group of community members, we see the lack of diverse housing for those who cannot afford to work
and live here in San Luis Obispo. As a small local architecture firm we can pivot quickly and focus on what
is needed. Our team has extensive experience in designing affordable housing projects such as Bridge
Street Mixed-Use, Toscano Inclusionary Housing, Victoria Mixed-Use, Bishop Street Studios and the Iron
Works Apartments. These are all projects located in San Luis Obispo. Our team takes into account the
demographics and groups seeking to fill the affordable housing market and helps align a beautiful and
welcoming design that feels like home.
According to the United States Census Bureau, as of 2020, the race and ethnicity of the City is
predominately white with 76% of the population identifying as white,. non-Hispanic. The next largest ethnic
group is Hispanic or Latino, comprising about 16% of the population. Asian, Black, and Native American
residents make up a smaller 8% of the 48,892 city’s population. San Luis Obispo has a relatively high cost of
living, with the median home price in the city hovering around $800,000 while the median income averages
near $62,000. There is also a significant rental market in the city, with roughly 60% of residents renting
their homes rather than owning them. Traditionally, those working in the City of San Luis Obispo who are
struggling or not able to find local affordable housing are the backbone to our workforce economy and are
forced to commute from outside of our City and County. The Regional Economic Action Coalition (REACH) for
the Central Coast, has noted that there’s an alarming number of residents on the Central Coast that are
struggling to get by, losing hope in the American Dream, and likely to leave the Central Coast due to the lack

of workforce housing available. There’s a well-known sentiment in the area that housing is unfordable, but
studies show that underserved groups are especially vulnerable leading to a less diverse and welcoming
community. The most recent Housing Opportunity Index by the National Association of Home Builders’
shows that only about 20% of homes in San Luis Obispo County are affordable for a family earning the
median household income. That makes the Central Coast the nation’s 8th-least affordable region. Gleaned
from the same survey report by REACH, over 50% of all middle-class residents, 63% of Latinx and 83% of
African Americans are likely to leave the Central Coast which will in turn lead to a less diverse community.
TEN OVER wants to help create a more equitable and inclusive homebase here in San Luis Obispo.
A feasibility study can help encourage more affordable housing projects in the City of San Luis Obispo by
providing an objective assessment of the viability of projects. Additionally, by providing feasibility studies to
nonprofits who already have a goal of creating affordable housing will help make a bigger and faster impact
for our city. Our team at TEN OVER has established working relationships with the nonprofit
developer/builders in the area including People’s Self-Help Housing and Housing Authority San Luis Obispo
(HASLO). Our goal is to provide these nonprofit groups and others with a streamlined roadmap for success
by identifying and analyzing suitable properties for the greatest number of housing units. We will also
design homes and developments that complement the neighborhood, obtaining permits and approvals, and
managing the construction of these affordable housing projects.
Feasibility studies help identify potential sites by evaluating the availability of land, zoning regulations, and
other factors that might affect the suitability of a site for affordable housing. These studies also assess the
demand for affordable housing in the city by analyzing demographic data, housing trends, and other factors.
The study can provide an estimate of the number of units needed to meet the demand and help determine
the optimal size and type of affordable housing projects. The study can also assess the costs of
construction, environmental impact and long-term maintenance and operations of affordable housing
projects. The information from a feasibility study will help to determine the most cost-effective approach. A
feasibility study can also identify potential obstacles to the development of affordable housing projects in
the city, such as regulatory barriers, community opposition, or environmental issues. The study can also
suggest ways to mitigate or overcome these obstacles.
Our team of experts can successfully provide feasibility studies by focusing on four primary steps:
1. Identifying an appropriate parcel within the city
2. Research lot configuration, zoning ordinances and any other regulatory requirements
3. Establish allowable density, required parking and any other required programs
4. Draft a site plan illustrating potential project build-out
If TEN OVER is able to provide five feasibility studies to local nonprofit developers that focus on building
affordable and workforce housing in the City of San Luis Obispo, this may result in an increase in affordable
and workforce housing of up to 250 affordable housing units within the next 3-5 years. This grant has the
potential to make a drastic difference in hundreds of people’s lives while decreasing the number of vehicle
miles traveled throughout our City.
To help ensure that we successfully use the grant funds, it will be imperative to market these feasibility
studies. Marketing efforts will focus on direct relationship client meetings and local newsletters. Promotion
in local newsletters will include our own TEN OVER marketing newsletter, a newsletter with REACH and
content provided to the nonprofit developers for their own direct communication efforts. These should be
free of charge, however up to 12 hours of billable time will be dedicated to our in-house Marketing Manager.

team to build out a more robust affordable and workforce housing feasibility study program working with
local nonprofit developers to realize The City of San Luis Obispo’s goals of making San Luis Obispo a more
welcoming and inclusive place for all community members. The financial support to local businesses like

TEXTURE- Business Plan
General Company Description
Texture is a multi use space, salon, and boutique managed by the non-profit corporation
R.A.C.E. Matters SLO County.The goal of the business is to provide Black hair care services,
and to sell unique Black-owned, made, and centered products, ultimately expanding
services and access for Black community members in particular. Texture embodies
R.A.C.E. Matters’ mission to amplify Black voices through artistic, cultural, educational, and
social experiences.
Sales goals
The first year of rent and utilities, plus one time costs of decor, renovations, and salon fixtures
are covered by other grants and/or sponsorships and a robust fundraising campaign is still
underway. Sales goals for Texture’s first year (until May 2024) are to at least break even. See
projected profit and loss spreadsheet.
Products, Services, Advantages
The services provided are 1) Station rental for stylists who specialize in textured hair 2)
Personal hair services for community members with textured hair. 3) Retail space rental, ie:
consignment. The products provided are 1) Black owned or made retail including but not
limited to beauty supply products, books, jewelry, accessories, and art. 2) Facility rental to
other community organizations for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice related workshops
and/or meetings.
There are no salons in SLO that service Black hair, and very few Black-owned brick and
mortar businesses that provide a sense of place, along with chic and stylish Afrocentric
products. While only 2.3% of people in the city and county identify as Black or African
American and 5.5% identify as 2 or more races – through retail sales, facility rental, and
special events, Texture provides an opportunity for the larger community to support services
and visible space for the historically minoritized Black community.
Marketing
R.A.C.E. Matters has approximately 10,000 followers across social media platforms and enjoys
fruitful collaboration with Diversity Coalition of SLO County, San Luis Obispo Museum of Art,
San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, Cal Poly Office of University Diversity and
Inclusion, Cal Poly Black Faculty and Staff Association, among others. We plan to leverage the
prominence of R.A.C.E. Matters while also reaching out to Black communities in Northern
Santa Barbara county. Texture also operates as a community space and hub for R.A.C.E.
Matters’ programs, and therefore donors who wish to support R.A.C.E. Matters, space for the
Black community, and corporations who wish to attract and retain more diversity in the area
would do well to support the project.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 894762E4-A2F8-46AD-9158-902A30E0E84E

Customers
Our salon customers are primarily Black people, especially women and children, as well as
multiracial families. They are in San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara Counties. Non-
Black people with tightly curled or textured hair may also be potential customers.
Potential retail customers include the entire community of R.A.C.E. Matters supporters who
have enjoyed our events and content since 2016. We plan to leverage events such as our
annual Belonging series, monthly art after dark gatherings, and host the majority of R.A.C.E.
Matters programs in the Texture space to attract customers.
Retail rental (Consignment) tenants include Belle Noire Accessories out of the Bay Area,
along with a network of other vendors.
Workshop/Meeting rental potential tenants include Diversity Coalition SLO County, Cultural
Creations, AAPI SLO, and other community organizations.
Pricing
Prices for hair services will be set by stylists.
Prices for retail sales will be set in comparison with other similar businesses (ie: non-profit gift
shops).
Prices for retail space rental (consignment) will be set in comparison with consignment
models in similar markets, and space rental for organizations to rent space for
workshops or meetings will also be set competitively and with equity top of mind.
Projected sales estimates
See projected profit and loss spreadsheet.
Operational Plan
Location: We have a year to year lease in San Luis Obispo at 474 Marsh Street A&B
Licensing and Permits: We’ve obtained our business license, salon establishment license,
our minor electrical and tenant improvements have cleared all city agencies and we are
finalizing our minor electrical permitting on Monday, April 3rd.

Daniels who has serviced San Luis Obispo for a year with facilitation by R.A.C.E.
Matters.

including Belle Noire Accessorsories, as a result of R.A.C.E. Matters’ Belonging Block

Damon Young, games such as Culturetags, and more.

Management and Organization
Texture is a non-profit corporation conducting commercial operations. Executive Director
Courtney Haile will devote.25 FTE to the ongoing management of Texture and is currently
finalizing the administrative support position that will require experience in retail, customer
service, administrative or office management experience, and social media management
content creation – with lived experience reflective of the community served highly preferred.
Other grants have been obtained by R.A.C.E. Matters to fund the administrative support
position.
Financial Statement
Texture is supported by $56,000 in grants and sponsorships, a second phase of our capital
fundraising campaign kicks off April 29th, and Texture- specific fundraising efforts on behalf of
R.A.C.E. Matters will continue.
The first year of Texture’s operations are considered a proof of concept with a goal of “breaking
even” when balancing revenue and expenses. Funding for the purchase of inventory would
allow profits from our first lot of inventory to fund future orders. At the close of year one
R.A.C.E. Matters will assess pricing, revenue streams, and ongoing donor support, making
adjustments if needed.
See RM financial statement.

By engaging the public through the creation of Black-centered social spaces,
cultural and arts events that center Black creative expressions, and racial justice
educational programming, R.A.C.E. Matters has emerged as a publicly recognized
local leader in matters of racial justice. The organization has courageously
pushed conversation and action around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion forward
with three essential programmatic elements:
We organize a variety of social and cultural events for and centered around the
local Black community, helping to build ties among local Black residents, families,
and businesses, and contributing to the fostering of Black culture locally.
We organize an extensive range of arts events that engage our local community
with the works of Black artists as well as Black-focused works. From visual arts
programs to performing arts events to films--including two films that we have
produced as well as other films that we have screened for the local community --
our programs utilize an expansive array of media to uplift and amplify the voices
of underrepresented Black and other POC populations. These events and
programs reflect our belief in the necessity of art to the cultivation of human
belonging, the empowerment of underserved and underrepresented communities,
and the envisioning of a more just and equitable world.
We organize community dialogues, panel discussions, workshops, and trainings
that contribute to a broader culture of racial justice within our community. Our
educational programming has ranged widely, from racial justice-oriented yoga
workshops, to educational workshops on White privilege, a panel and forum
focused on the subject of cultural appropriation, webinars devoted to the racial
dimensions of the COVID-19 crisis locally and the challenges and possibilities of
homeschooling children of color in the pandemic.

What made you want to learn how to solder, and why did you decide to sign up for our
workshop in par ticular?
31 responses
I want to be able to repair my home electronics. Your class was close, affordable, and
adver tised as queer friendly.
Your workshop felt explicitly approachable for newbies like myself which is a lifeline in a sea
full of hobbyists who can be a bit...standoffish. Getting into STEM-adjacent knowledge fields
as a woman is brutal, and I have the insulating privilege of whiteness shielding me from even
further rejection/gatekeeping.
I always wanted to learn and LED blinky lights are fun.
Working on Arduino & LED projects
Cosplay with lights
Repair broken items
I was curious about it, but didn't have the tools to try. Plus it's a skill per tinent to my degree at
Cuesta.
Old hardware needing repair
I've been interested in learning for a while but never got the chance
I enjoyed the previous class so much. I wanted to solder again, and I came with a friend that
wanted to learn how to solder but wanted a friend to go with her to the class
The workshop sounded fun, low barrier to entry, inclusive, and fun
I saw the workshop and it seemed like a fun, no stress way to learn an interesting skill.
I wanted to learn so I can assemble a new keyboard
Curious how similar to welding. My par tner was coming, I did as well
Wanted to properly learn how to use soldering iron for jewelry making
Tons of home projects and repair dash raspberry pi stuff - laptop repair (need to learn how to
repair removed "gold pads" btw?) - 3DS hack
Page 377 of 477
It looked fun!
Fun and useful skill. Electronics are fun. I knew it would be fun
I'm considering majoring in electrical engineering
Like electronics
It's been a personal interest of mine for a long time, and professional motivations pushed me
to just do it!
Already interested in open glow swifts, and have an interest in electronics. $20 for a workshop
seemed good.
I want to solder to work on electric guitar components. This workshop seemed quick and
accessible
Flyer looked colorful and inviting language was friendly on flyer
I want to learn more about electronics and use my brain and my hands
Absolutely a new experience to try! Excited that this is a woman-owned enterprise
Want to learn more practical skills, maybe pick up a new hobby
Thought it would be fun to do something out of the box for me - and a fun date night!
I have soldered a few times to repair something and wanted to learn how to do it properly
I'm a software engineer and I know little to nothing about the hardware side of things - this
seemed like a great introduction
I wanted to brush up on my soldering skills

What part of the learning process was the most challenging for you, and do you feel
like you got enough help?
29 responses
This class was easy and fun for me.
I absolutely felt like I got enough help, it was a treat to have access to such a direct guidance
and exper tise!
I wasn't sure I was doing it correctly but the instructor came by and said it was fine
Just confidence that I was doing things right and practice. It was really helpful to see in
person.
Hard to remember how to do everything. Yes!
Understanding steps yes had help!
The most challenging was understanding how to solder overall, but I definitely got all the help I
needed to feel confident.
Desoldering with braid
Knowing which way to put things in (up vs down) is challenging for me. People were always
quick to help.
Learning the flow of the solder - how to get not too much but have enough. Help was available
but it's just practice and the workshop provided plenty of oppor tunity for that
Making sure I had enough solder on the joints, yes help was readily available
Very similar to welding, not hard. Help was exceptional
The whole process was well described and the teachers were easy to approach with questions
and reassurance
Love the captioning that was a huge help and I wouldn't have been able to par ticipate
otherwise!
It was easy to learn and got lots of help
Just my eyes are getting old. I got enough help
Page 379 of 477
I feel like I got enough help
Multitasking Yes
I put an LED in the wrong way and I got loads of help fixing my mistake!
Simply nervousness about showing up
Very accessible, lots of help provided
Soldering - yes, great suppor t
It was all new to me so it was all challenging I definitely got enough support
Being able to sor t info being said as a supplement and be able to follow steps
It was overall pretty easy and I felt well supported
The circuit exercise, but you were very patient and helpful.
The help was outstanding
Nothing other than splicing the wire back together without the helping hands
Yes, I felt I was instructed well

What did you think of the Cloud kits? Did you struggle with any of the components?
30 responses
I thought they were cute. The hardest par t was the switch, but it still wasn't hard for me over
all.
THEY'RE DELIGHTFUL ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD
They're adorable! But there's no place on the back of the rain cloud one to put either the
magnet or the pinback that doesn't cover up the name of the piece or the Alpenglow logo. I'd
like to be able to show them off.
Cute! Did not struggle
Very cute! LEDs hard to make flush
Cute
I loved the cloud kits! They were a great introduction. I didn't really struggle with the
components.
Cloud kits were great
They were neat and easy to follow
I got the LEDs reversed...
They are very nicely designed - very cute and also helpful for learning the techniques. The LEDs
were perhaps the trickiest but not too difficult.
Very cute. Nope.
They worked really well.
Very friendly as a first-timer felt very cool to make something work
Love them all - I'd enjoy more substantial larger pieces/kits to work on as I practice soldering
Nope they were awesome
Kits were awesome
They are so cute and so much fun, really nice intro electronics project
Page 381 of 477
Nope - cool
Love them! Great intro project
Cute, good intro to soldering
Cool intro to PCBs, instruction was very helpful in perfecting the components
Love the cloud kits!
They are awesome. No struggle
They were fun!
So cute! Nope, easy
So cool, maybe different color lights for the stormy cloud? Managed to put the second one
together by myself
Super fun! The kids are great for learning
So cute! They were the perfect first projects.
The LEDs were a little tricky to align

What did you think of wiring the USB cable power tester? Was it useful to work with
wire and solder components "freeform"?
30 responses
Yes
It was useful in that it showed me I will want a helping hand for my home setup haha. Wasn't
too hard, but I think I could make a better looking solder if I had a clamp or something.
Yes wire soldering was a bonus for sure! I wish we'd had more time to go over resistors and,
for example, how to know when you need what kinds of resistors + what power ratings(?) for a
given project.
I thought it was useful, but it might have been helpful to show examples of different kinds of
"freeform" soldering (enmeshed end to end, two parallel ends twisted together)
Yes! This is probably what I need to do most often.
I liked it the most most useful for my purposes good to work freeform. ( my purposes)
Yes, it gave an understanding of additional ways to solder and splice.
It was a bit difficult, because the wires are very small and easy to break wires
Good variety with the cloud kits
Yes, absolutely! I had never stripped or soldered wires before.
Yes, it was a great way to learn additional soldering / wire techniques
Yes it was very interesting. I had never done that before.
Yes. They were a great addition
Yes, let's us know what other techniques are available
Yes - I'd like an actual project or an example so I can see how to use it in real life, but I have
experience with pie stuff, so I see the application here
Yes I like that there were different materials
Yes, glad I got to practice it. May come in handy
Page 383 of 477
Absolutely
Totally. Loved how I could cut the wires multiple times and splice them
A good step up and yes because other situations won't have a kit
Practicing freeform soldering seems useful
Yes, great practice - easy useful task
Interesting. Yes useful
Yes. It was hard. Good challenge
I really enjoyed it
That was hard for me, but it's okay - first time
Great, after I fixed it! Yes, it was very practical.
Yes, it showed a glimpse into a different type of soldering and what is possible.
Of the three projects, it was the most useful to work with

No notes, it was great.
Not that I can think of off the top of my head, y'all are fabulous and I'm looking forward to the
Intro to Electronics workshop! Thank you again for all the work you put into making these
classes possible
I had a lot of fun learning how to solder. More magnifiers would have been helpful.
Components are small, y'all. (: Having the soldering booklet to refer to was SO HELPFUL!
The pace was great. Love the kits
Pronoun specific bits on the tags maybe
Slow instruction down so everyone is on the same steps. Use screen visual more.
I can't think of anything as it was thorough and friendly, and educational! I will definitely build
on what I've learned here.
Maybe the tables be more organized (to see each other)
A longer break in the middle to actually get up and get a snack.
I thought it was very well done.
No
None! Thank you for your teachings!
I feel like I'm able to par ticipate with the captioning - while not perfect to wake communication,
it's good enough that I'd recommend this workshop to other local deaf folks
I would love to come back and do more
It was fun. Easy to ask questions and good feedback
I really appreciated how we got a take-home cloud to continue to practice or soldering
I hope you teach more soldering and electronic classes in the future. I loved learning with you
guys! Thanks a ton
Page 388 of 477
Sorry for lack of feedback, but I had fun and I really appreciate your time and effort.
Awesome stuff, excited for additional workshops
It was perfect, time flew by and I enjoyed all task. Very friendly teachers
Great job
No, it was great
Overall, was great, thank you
You guys are awesome - thank you!
I would have liked more wiring demonstrations

Yes, both of my parents have STEM related degrees
Yes! Almost to the exclusion of all else, actually. I'm happy to be able to come back to STEM
skills like this on my own terms, for my own edification.
I was exposed to it by my dad the electrical engineer / programmer, but not really encouraged.
But I got to watch him tinker around with electronic components / ham radio stuff
Yes, I went to many STEM camps or robotics whatevers
Nope
Yes! I feel more confident and continuing my education to a degree in electrical engineering
No, I found stem because of my uncle/interest in games
Yes, my dad was an engineering professor at Cal poly and I was encouraged to learn maker
skills and work on computing and shop projects with him.
Yes (exposed and encouraged)
Yes, my parents encouraged me
Yes a lot of workshops are offered in school
I attended SLOHS and they did not provide enough STEM related activities while I was growing
up
Yes I did a lot of STEM programs in camps with school, etc
Yes, but didn't have many opportunities.
Grew up in digital age. Simply wanted to be competent with technology
Justin high School by a great teacher, however once a nun, sister Catherine star ted teaching -
she refused to call on me, and any other girls in class
Page 392 of 477
A little bit of exposure and a little bit of encouragement
Except for public kindergar ten, no high school was Catholic school old school kid house 400
students total
Not really. I've always been terrible at math, great at humanities (but I work in tech now)
Yes - Olympics of the mind
Not at all
No, but I decided to pursue engineering later on. (After graduation)

I never got to explore the creative/"Maker" side of my (v intense) STEM interests as a kid and
I'm thrilled to have the oppor tunity as an adult to change that.
I've seen a lot of men gatekeeping STEM activities. It was so wonderful to learn from someone
who wasn't a guy. Thank you!
Mostly science, but my hobby involves tech
There isn't much, but I love software/hardware!
I am part of a STEM family - both myself and my spouse have STEM degrees, we have one kid
pursuing a STEM degree and another planning to.
It's wonderful
It's a burgeoning passion that I hope to pursue more as I develop my career
I had not had the oppor tunity to solder before. It does feel gate-kept, so thank you
I love that this is woman owned in most participants were women
Especially now that I have a daughter, I realize what a different experience I could have had
growing up and love that workshops like this one exist!
I am fairly new to STEM related stuff

What made you want to learn about electronics, and why did you decide to sign up for
our workshop in par ticular?
21 responses
Sound and fun and was local and affordable!
I've always been interested in electronics. I signed up because it looked fun and informative
I want to build synths
Interest in small repairs to small electronics like a V-Pets
To learn more about circuits for pinball hobby
I'm a massive nerd and this workshop seemed especially welcoming to newbies!
I just wanted to learn more for my own knowledge. Signed up to learn something new
General knowledge
Family member taking electronics at college - suggested it would be fun for everyone
I'm majoring in electrical engineering and wanted to get a better understanding of electronics.
This way I am more familiar with it.
I'm currently a STEM student and wanted to supplement my theoretical knowledge with hands-
on
I'm a community college student considering majoring in electrical engineering
Bir thday gift. I like putting together small circuits and wanted to know more
I thought it would be a fun thing to do with my par tner
To help me understand basics of my electronics and computers, and prepare for fur ther
learning. I felt welcome by the description of the class, it's difficult to find classes welcoming
those with no experience.
I've been wanting to understand the relationship between amps, Watts, and bullets. Also
wanted to learn circuitry basics.
I encounter circuits in my job and wanted to learn more about them I signed up for this
workshop because it seemed very accessible and low stress
Page 398 of 477
Refresher. Woman-owned business
My mom is going to school to learn how to build computers and thought it would be fun to do
together
Love to learn with hands on applicable methods. Learn to be more self-sufficient with repairs
I just star ted learning how to use an arduino for a research project at Cuesta and it sounded
like fun to learn more
Page 399 of 477
What part of the learning process was the most challenging for you, and do you feel
like you got enough help?
20 responses
New terminology. Good for an intro class!
It would take several more exposures for the info to feel I understand voltage watts ohms and
things like that. Plenty of help!
Reading, I have a learning disability and hands-on classes help a lot.
Understanding the different components. I received enough help
Pace of learning was super!
The most challenging par t is learning the new terminologies
Math, yes
All good
The most challenging par t was understanding the components and their rule, but Carrie did a
great job of clarifying and explaining
The most challenging process was the breadboards, I found all of their explanations extremely
helpful.
Yes, I feel like I got enough help
No challenge
The breadboard was a little confusing at first. Yes!
Definitely enough help!
Understanding the role of each component is in crystal clear yet, but I understand enough to
fill those gaps independently
The wire "sewing". It was nice that Carrie came around and looked at our boards and gave tips
as needed
The foreignness of electronics
Page 400 of 477
The wiring of the circuit board was difficult due to motor function mobility however, Robyn and
Carrie were super helpful!
Plenty of help! Understanding true and sisters got me a little lost
Wiring the circuit, just because the wires were so tiny, but the tips to use the pliers were helpful
Page 401 of 477
What did you think of the first wood breadboard LED circuit? Did you struggle with any
part of putting it together?
21 responses
Really interesting. Helpful to see the names and layout
Super fun! Easy to follow messaging and instructions
Super simple, looking forward to finishing it on my own
It was fun except for the mean insulated wires that kept breaking
No real problems. One time I pulled off a wire, but it was easy to fix.
I'm so great. Such a helpful visualization!
I loved it, but I struggled the wood breadboard is so cool!
Loved it
Loved it - neat to actually just do it
I enjoyed putting together the wood breadboard. It wasn't difficult to understand, but it made it
easy to get what was going on.
No, I think it's great!
No, but having extra wire and spare par ts for the projects in case we accidentally broke one
was helpful
Great etching, liked the format
Loved it! I liked that everything was marked out
This was very approachable, I feel like I could put it together on my own again with the info
provided in the class
I quite liked it. It illustrated the current well, and it was helpful to build the circuit before getting
to the breadboard
See above for "sewing" I really liked it, it was easy to understand and I liked the sewing par t
Excellent. No.
Page 402 of 477
Same as above, but super fun!
So awesome!
I loved it, the wires were small, but I got the hang of it

What did you think of the little battery motor?
21 responses
Fun and easy to complete
With who! It worked! Can I use a potato?
Fun!
So fun!
It was fun to actually get it working
Magnets are black magic 10/10
The most basic, but it was satisfying to get it to work
Fun
Need to think of that when thinking about the speaker after project
The little battery motor took some time and adjustments, but it was fun once it started
working.
It was fun, it would be helpful to see where we were going with it before we star ted.
I enjoyed making it
Fun! Magic!
I felt like Dr Frankenstein bringing it to life
Very fun and satisfying! Easily applicable example
Bizarrely amusing! And a great intro to understanding how electric motors work
It was cool, but a bit finicky
Fun! Nice. Good sequencing of various possibilities. How do they transmit/make the
connections? What medium?
It was very much trial and error, but really interesting to see how it works
Page 404 of 477
Awesome and then I broke it lol. Even though these are small experiments the physical
changes created are highly rewarding!
I thought the battery motor was really interesting. I got mine to spin only once, but it felt like a
huge achievement

What did you think of the Sing a Little Song solderless breadboard activity? Is there
anything that would help you understand breadboards better?
21 responses
Fun! Liked all the variety demonstrated
Awesome! I don't understand the direction of flow or how each little square in the A-J columns
relate to each other
A fun project, I'm excited to play more with them on my own
Loved it. Everything was explained well
Fantastic period I understood breadboard concepts hands-on experience was great
An absolute delight. I wish we'd had a little more time to go over why we place which
components in which order.
It was fun! The photo helped a lot
Very cool
Loved it! Would like to better understand how it got loud versus low volume
I loved it! Though there were a lot of components, maybe a small cheat sheet of what some of
the components do though it was helpful to have it explained in person too
Nothing! It was great
It was fun
Very fun
Probably just more experience, practice with it. The song was perfect
A little more explanation of what's going on inside IE comparing directly to circuit board project
I liked it a lot! I think I missed the explanation of how they connect, but that was on me
It was nice to see a more "commercial" way to build a circuit (ie a common system) I like the
different transistors/resistors. I think it explained breadboards well
Yes
Page 406 of 477
It was really cool seeing the different ways that we can manipulate the sounds. I think just
doing more reading and YouTube videos during my free time
Super fun! Seeing the back side with connections was perfect
Cute. Loved making a symphony with my table and making a classic song into a remix

14 responses
Some bits are very small could use a completed example at table or larger reference photo or
magnification option?
I want more! A more advanced class would be great for me
Nope
The demo instructions were slightly hard to follow.
It was perfect would like more project/classes
I think it all went well. I loved putting things together and learning what we are doing through
the process
The small class size was a nice learning environment because we were all able to get our
questions answered
You all are lovely and great and excellent
The printouts are helpful. More diagrams, but overall it was great
Thanks for providing these classes! I really hope you provide more in the future
I thought it was great!
Very good foundation. Suppor t ready at All stages

I was exposed but not suppor ted. And occasionally punished. Lol.
Two parents in STEM made stem a par t of my life from a young age
I was encouraged to pursue specifically physics - based education, but little outside of that
A little
No - STEM didn't exist
I was exposed to a few stem activities growing up, but I wasn't exposed to all the different
routes of stem there were
Yes, I had very suppor tive teachers and family
Yes, but went for social sciences now I'm a software engineer
A little bit My dad is a software engineer
Not much, felt I didn't have the basic knowledge (like what we learned here today) and that I
was always behind, and STEM activities were mostly men. Happy to see that changing
Very little

With these grant funds,I have been able to provide care to individuals in a variety of financial circumstances,including
those who are underinsured,have limited income,are unable to work due to their injury,have mental health
challenges,and/or are receiving social services.Patients who received the grant-funded services all expressed their
gratitude,relief,and appreciation for the service and grant in general.CenCal patients describe not even considering
specialty care,and how good it feels to have equal access,instead of the typical healthcare disparity.Students often
miss too much school when trying to recover from concussion on their own;under my care,I help them return to the
classroom as soon as possible,with academic adjustments as needed.Some patients are unable to work due to their
injury,but then don’t have enough income to afford concussion care.By relieving the financial stress,they can return
to work sooner.One example is a single mother of 2 toddlers who was in a car accident that totaled her vehicle.She
was unable to work as a waitress due to cognitive symptoms of her concussion,and she had no transportation.I was
able to do telehealth appointments with her,and progress her recovery,in spite of the overwhelming obstacles.She
was able to return to work and support her 2 children because of these grant funds.Our local emergency departments
became aware of the grant,and referred more patients directly from the ER,knowing that they can receive the same
level of care as any other patient,and can be seen within 24-48 hours,without having to wait weeks or months.
Challenges included lack of awareness or referral from pediatrician offices;target population assuming that they would
not have access to specialized care which prevented them from seeking this service;generally not gaining awareness in
a way that reached more healthcare providers and patients.However,through the grant administrators,a local
marketing colleague,and SLO Chamber of Commerce,additional strategies for educating the medical community were
identified.

activities, service or programs provided as described in Exhibit A (your grant application) and any changes that
have occurred during the reporting period. If operations or service provision have changed, please disclose,
and explain the reasoning and response to changes in this section.)
The café had 8 art exhibits of underrepresented artists from diverse backgrounds, many showing their work for
the first time. We have hosted a Loteria game night, Dia de los Muertos community altar, At Her Table,
Mujeres de Accion mixer and Autism Speed Dating night.
We have relationships with regular downtown customers from the Wineman Hotel, and local businesses
including staff from The Habit. We hosted study nights for the Cal Poly Latinx Association and contribute to a
student scholarship. We have been able to donate through our “2% Tuesdays” to 7 local community-based
organizations and 2 elementary schools.
Statistical Report: (This section must include 1) the metrics reported as descried in Exhibit A (your grant

With a food and drink business, the best indicator of success is through increasing our customer base and
maintaining our exemplary employees. Apart from the owners, we started with 3 employees and now have 9.
Our social media following has grown from 0 to over 2500. We have many regular customers with an
estimated 60% of them being Latino. We have a large number of Latino identifying Cal Poly students who
come to study at the café. Organizations such as Mujeres de Accion have reached out to hold a mixer. We are
able to collect a salary as owners and pay all of our bills. In a recent survey, customers shared:
“you embody inclusivity, making everyone who walks in feel at home”
”You are community, family, cultura and delicious food. We love you”

any changes that have occurred during the reporting period.If operations or service provisions have changed,please disclose

Mission Headstrong is deeply grateful for the grant the city provided that allowed us to receive
our first specialized training.Fitness centers can be an intimidating place for people to step into
and it has always been my (Robby)dream to make it a place where everyone belongs.We
have had dreams of the many groups we can serve and the Autism community holds a special
place in my heart and I was grateful this was what we did. The coaches were able to be trained
by the founder of the Autism Fitness organization,which enhanced our understanding of how to
utilize coaching tactics and communication skills to include this community.We are able to use
programs he has already designed and some of our more experienced and advanced coaches
are able to utilize his training to adapt their specializations towards the Autism community.Each
coach was required to submit 18 videos demonstrating knowledge of various movements
through a practice with another person.Each coach was given extensive feedback,some
having to redo the videos until it met the requirements.The grant gave us a taste of what can
happen when we pursue training that opens our eyes to other communities and lived
experiences.We are grateful for the grant funds that allowed for this specialized training and
are planning on making some announcements for the non-profit this summer and open begin
individual coaching and an autism yoga class this fall.We have been wanting to open our doors
but we have still been recovering from the 2023 flood financially and we are still making up for
the financial strain that put us through.We are planning on applying for the next grant at the
City with the hopes of focusing some efforts on veterans,the aging population,and low-income
folks.We are also planning on raising funds to begin a more sustainable approach with our
non-profit.
A sidenote-During this year,I also participated in Lumina Alliances free crisis training and
learned about domestic violence,rape,and intimate partner violence.This was also in response
to last year’s unfortunate events at a women's only gym furthering the idea that fitness centers
are not safe.My hope is to lead our gym,both the business (Headstrong)and the non-profit
(Mission Headstrong),to be a gym those on the margins feel welcomed.I am also in
Page 430 of 477
conversation with the VA to begin 1-1 coaching for veterans.We are excited to keep finding
ways to serve our community.
Statistical Report:(This section should include 1)the metrics reported as described in Exhibit A (your grant application)

Due to our grant being focused on training and development of our coaches,our statistical
report is on the more simple end:15 coaches trained.More info can be seen in the financial
section and the metrics.If we were to receive future grants,this would be a more robust section
given it would be the number of clients coaches individually and in groups.But the grant was
specific for coaches to be appropriately trained.

Organization: TEN OVER STUDIO
Project Name: Affordable & Workforce Housing Feasibility Studies
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 A (your grant application) using the business grant provided, and any changes
that have occurred during the reporting period. If operations or service provisions have changed, please disclose and explain
the reasoning and response to changes here.
Over the past year, our team at TEN OVER STUDIO has developed a comprehensive feasibility study
program to support affordable housing efforts in San Luis Obispo due to the City of San Luis Obispo DEI
Business Grant. We have encouraged affordable and workforce housing projects by leveraging our
experience, professional working relationships and community reputation all while utilizing the awarded
$15,000 to help support the City’s DEI goals. This grant allowed us to provide the means to multiple
local developers and non-profits who might not have been able to pursue a feasibility study. In addition
to setting the framework for impactful projects, we will be continuing project work to completion for
CAPSLO.
According to the county’s 2023 State of the Workforce Report SLO County, residents face high housing
costs compared to the na:onal average, with approximately one-third of county residents spending 35
percent or more of their income on housing. A lack of affordable housing, in addi:on to a limited supply
of high-wage jobs, may encourage poten:al workers to se<le elsewhere. The report directly calls out
that an increase in the supply of affordable housing is impera:ve for sustaining the county’s local
workforce. TEN OVER STUDIO is proud to be able to u:lize the City of San Luis Obispo’s DEI Business
Grant to help alleviate the lack of affordable housing and support the City’s housing ini:a:ves and goals.
TEN OVER’s process started by creating a one-page marketing information sheet laying out our program
in partnership with the City of San Luis Obispo. Using our affordable housing resources, we created a list
of statewide non-profit developers, emailing 20 contacts that we had no prior relationship with which
included an introduction to who we are and an introduction to the feasibility study program, the one-
page marketing sheet and our affordable housing project portfolio. We also emailed 15 personal
contacts with the same information. With little to no response initially, we switched gears to in-person
conversations with all local developers, including market–rate firms. These marketing and outreach
efforts resulted in two project feasibility studies within the City of SLO. As additional connections were
made over the course of 2024, we were able to offer and allocate all five feasibility studies.
Page 439 of 477
The first three feasibility studies completed under the grant program would allow up to 67 affordable
housing units within city limits. Due to the availability and impact of the study, we allowed Transitions
Mental Health to utilize our services for two separate studies which included one complete feasibility
revision.
The fiCh and final feasibility study under this program was for the development of a vacant 2-acre parcel
located across from the Homeless Services Center at 40-Prado Road, San Luis Obispo. The intended
program, as indicated by the CAPSLO team, for the vacant parcel was to design and develop a
thoughDul, cost-effec:ve solu:on for the housing of non-congregate emergency shelters for families of
varying sizes, along with indoor and outdoor recrea:on spaces, pet friendly facili:es, and an office and
mixed-use spaces for services like childcare and case management. The ini:al Phase 1 build-out will
accommodate up to 25 families. The site can ul:mately accommodate as many as 53 housing density
units with a 100% affordable housing density bonus. While the primary goal is to design and build out
the ini:al 25 family shelter units, a conceptual design for the full density build out will be prepared as a
master plan for the site. Other grants or dona:ons have been received which have been earmarked for
the 46 Prado site development, but this DEI Business Grant helped support the ini:al feasibility study
efforts.
In addi:on to external outreach, we have hosted an internal introductory training for 30 staff members
focusing on how to conduct an affordable housing feasibility study within the City of SLO. An addi:onal
staff mee:ng presenta:on is scheduled to take place in August 2024 to recap the grant and educate
team members on future feasibility studies.
All five feasibility study loca:ons are located within the City of San Luis Obispo. To make an even larger
impact on our community, TEN OVER STUDIO hopes to con:nue suppor:ng the City’s DEI goals by
extending more feasibility studies to local non-profits and find ways to expand to a county-wide effort.
Addi:onally, all feasibility study recipients were very apprecia:ve and felt that these funds allowed them
to pursue poten:al projects that might not have come to frui:on without assistance. TEN OVER STUDIO
appreciates the opportunity to be able to support our local non-profit developers and projects that will
not only impact the city’s community but will hopefully one day touch unique individual needs and lives
for the be<er.
Statistical Report: (This section should include 1) the metrics reported as described in Exhibit A (your grant application)
and 2) the demographic data collected through the survey shared by the City.)
Our outreach efforts to personal contacts communicating our partnership with the City of San Luis
Obispo to provide local feasibility studies for non-profit developers to promote more workforce and
affordable housing in SLO has resulted in five separate feasibility studies. Please see the feasibility study
details below.

Sources: American Community Survey (ACS) (census.gov), Census.gov, Demographics | Department of Finance (ca.gov)
5. Report perception of services provided and/or
engaged activities.
Survey individuals to measure the impact of the services provided
and/or engaged activities as described within the scope of the
agreement signed by the grantee. Report in percent and total number of
individuals served. Sample questions will be provided to grantees for
technical assistance.
This program has the poten:al to serve 100+ low-
income community members by poten:ally providing
over 90 affordable housing units in the City of San
Luis Obispo. However, the number of units can
impact workforce housing and low-income
community members exponen:ally in the city for
many years to come.
The CAPSLO feasibility study has a poten:al impact
on helping temporarily house up to 25 families at any
point in :me. This is one part of mul:-pronged
approach to meet the county’s needs for temporary
family shelter.
6. Demographic Questions
Demographic questions are highly encouraged to be completed by
individuals that fall within the grantee’s scope of services. Grantees will
be sent the City’s current demographic survey and are highly
encouraged to use such template to implement and report back.
Unfortunately, the average cost of living in San
Luis Obispo is above the na:onal average and
the local average wages are below the na:onal
average. This equates to a gap in being able to
afford to live in the city. According to the
community demographics provided through
REACH, 46.98% of city residents have a
household income of less than $75k per year.
Based on the City of San Luis Obispo’s
Community Demographics, this program could
help offset the amount of affordable housing
construc:on to meet residents’ needs and help
the City's housing requirements.

services, or concepts related to the components within the scope of
the agreement signed by the grantee.

4. Estimated number of individuals attending activities.
Based on the scope of the agreement signed by the grantee, please provide a

6. Demographic Questions
Demographic questions are highly encouraged to be completed by individuals
that fall within the grantee’s scope of services. A current demographic survey is
available and is highly encouraged for grantee to reach out for the demographic
survey template.
Though we have no statistical
demographic information, Black-identified
customers were significantly
overrepresented per the population in the
City and County of San Luis Obispo. The
Black-centered nature of the space, and
the Black owned and centered products
available for contributed to that.
