ABSTRACT
Home repair programs that take viewers through the complete reconstruction of a rundown or
dilapidated house, from first inspection to refurbishment to habitation, are one of the most
popular types of program on cable television today. This is a proposal to use a HORIZONS
Partnerships SIO,OOO mini-grant as seed money to create a half-hour home renovation
program called Our Neighbqrhood that depicts the restoration of San Bernardino-area houses,
airing on the City's cable television channel (Ch. 3). The program will utilize high school and
ROP students in all facets of the series. In-kind services will be provided by participating
public and private groups (called the "Our Neighborhood Partnership"), It is proposed to
launch Our NeighhqrJwod in a first-phase series of ten episodes, using two episodes to depict
renovation of an individual house (total of five properties renovated in the first phase). If the
first phase is judged a success by the Partnership, the intent ~Il be to seek funding from public
and private sources to put the program on a permanent basis.
Students ~II participate in three distinct areas of Our Neit,hhorJwod: (I) working with building
and construction professionals in various phases of house rehabilitation; (2) doing actual video
production; and (3) managing the "business" portion of the program, handing such matters as
accounting and marketing. To the fullest extent possible the participating high school students
~Il be residents of the neighborhoods where houses are being refurbished, It is estimated that
about 30 students will be employed in producing an individual episode in the three aspects of
production. Depending on the number of students who may work on the first-phase series
from inception to conclusion versus how many may work on a single episode, it is estimated
that approximately 200 San Bernardino-area students could participate in the program.
The benefit for students will be substantive engagement in a real-life project that demonstrates
the use and relevancy of course work in the real world, With more specific reference to the
mini-grant Minimum Criteria, Our Neit,hboThooJ will encompass four of the criteria: (a) students
will receive job training and potential job placement; (c) occupation and market information
will be utilized to guide education and career training of participating youth; (d) local high
schools will develop ongoing linkages with community based organizations; (e) professional
development opportunities will be created for teachers to better relate classroom practices and
content to the work place. Student evaluation will be accomplished through a mix of work
products suitable for a portfolio, and by a supervisor or mentor from among the Partnership
who will be assigned to each student to assess their performance.
Fiscal responsibility for the mini-grant will be assumed by Alvarez & Associates, a San
Bernardino provider of quality affordable housing. Preparatory production activities will
commence after January 1, 1999, Filming is expected to occur over the period March-
August, with broadcasting commencing after mid-year. Production and airing ofthe ten
episodes is expected to be completed by late fall, 1999.

This mini-grant application for a local cable TV home improvement program to be called Our
Nei&l1borhood is presented in four parts, as follows:
1. Introduction,............... ................. ............. ..... ......."..... 2
II. Goals........ .............,... ............ ...................... ......... .......,5
III. Performance Matrix.......,..,...,......................................8
IV. Budget......,................ ............. ...................., ..... .........10
This first section of the application describes the approach and structure of the first-phase series
of episodes of Our Neighborhood; the partnership structure for delivering the program; and the
experience of partner entities in School-to-Career activities.
0..,- Neighborhood Series Approach and Episode Structure
The half-hour episodes of Our Neighborhnod will depict deteriorated San Bernardino-area houses
undergoing a complete rehabilitation process, A male and female duo have provisionally been
selected from among the participating organiUltions to serve as hosts for all ten etlisodes.
Refurbishment of each dwelling will be depicted through a two-episode structure. For the first
episode of each of the five renovation projects, students will research the history of the featured
property and neighborhood, the material to include current and past pictures of the house and
area, Along with "book" research, students will interview selected residents and business owners
in the locale, as well as the family that will occupy the house. Next, the program hosts will take
the viewer through the property showing its "as is" condition. The remaining time will be spent
showing the process of tear-down or demolition in preparation for rehabilitation.
The second episode will show the reconstruction process (beginning with a "flashback" to the
previous episode). Focus will be on areas of interest unique to the building, such as condition of
wood, plumbing, foundation, electrical, and insulation. The host team will point out the areas of
concern and possible ways to rectify dangerous or energy-deficient situations, Many of the
viewers will live in structures that have similar characteristics. A:; each concern is addressed,
local agencies, businesses, and programs will be spotlighted that could help the viewer with their
own comparable problems. The end of the program will highlight what was accomplished
during the rehab project, and will give a glimpse of the next dwelling to be featured in the two
forthcoming episodes.
Partnel'1lhip Structure: "Our Neighborhood Partnership"
To produce Our Neighborlwod, an informal group of organizations called the "Our Neighborhood
2

Miai-Graat
Our Neighborhood
I. Iutrod..c:t:ioa
Partnership" will be created that will consist of the entities described below. (Note that the
public agency participants will seek formal authorization to participate following notification of
receipt of a mini-grant.)
1. City of San Bernardino Chaunel3 Cable Television station, which will provide
cable filming and editing facilities and production personnel, at a per-episode cost of $1,273 or
$12,273 for the first-phase series of ten episodes (see Budget, Section IV),
7. San Bernardino County school..: The following high schools and programs will provide
students, instructors, and/or in-kind services as appropriate:
San Gorgonio High School's manufacturing technology program will provide
students and faculty for housing reconstruction-related activities;
Redlands Ea..t Valley High School'.. video production program will provide
students, faculty and hardware for video production-related activities;
San Andreas High School'. business and entrepreneurship program will provide
students and faculty to perform the business and management-related activities of
producing the Our Nei&hborlwod program and episodes.
3. Alvarez &. Associates is a San Bernardino-based real estate and housing rehabilitation
business that has created the City of San Bernardino's nationally recognized "Acquisition,
Rehabilitation, and Resale" (ARR) neighborhood revitalization program, in which deteriorated
housing is purchased in groups of contiguous dwellings and rehabilitated simultaneously for new
low-income owner-occupants, thereby helping stabilize declining neighborhoods. Alvarez &
Associates will provide the dwelling rehab projects, contractor connections, and materials that
will be featured in OuT Nei&hburlwod episodes.
4. California State Univel'8ity, San Bernardino: A faculty member from the University's
College of Business and Public Administration, Department of Management will provide in-kind
professional services related to management, grant writing, and involving college students in Our
Neighborhood. If and as the series is made permanent, Cal State San Bernardino participation
could expand to include faculty from other of the University's five colleges.
Prospective buainen cormnunity participants
As part of the strategy to ultimately establish Our N~hbqrhood on a permanent basis, after the first
several episodes have been filmed, members of the Partnership will take sample episodes to local
building and construction (e.g., Home Depot, Home Base) and other potentially interested
businesses (e.g., printing and advertising firms) to solicit their support and underwriting of the
3

program, either by providing materials and! or in-kind services and! or cash contributions, As is
typical in home improvement programs of this type, businesses that choose to participate will
receive advertising exposure through their direct involvement in housing refurbishment activities,
while contributions of other businesses will be acknowledged in program titles,
Partidpation by City oCSan Bernardino
As with the business community, Partnership members also will approach the City of San
Bernardino and its Economic Development Agency about supporting the program, the rationale
being the contributions it will make to city housing rehabilitation efforts (housing rehabilitation is
a major aspect of city economic development strategy).
The City has applied for a federal "Empowerment Zone" (EZ) grant which would provide $10
million dollars over ten years for city renewal. San Bernardino's EZ strategy places major
emphasis on housing rehabilitation. If the City receives an Empowerment Zone designation
(notification will be made by December 31, 1998), and if City staff believe Our Neighborlwod to be
valuable, the EZ grant might be available to help finance a permanent program,
Involvement oC Qur Neighborhood PlU'tIler Entitie. in Sc:hool-to-Career Adivitie.
Among the Our Neighborhood Partnership member groups, the school-to-career experience of
the participating San Bernardino high schools does not need to be described here.
Channel 3 and Alvarez & Associates have had no formal involvement in San Bernardino school-
to-career programs. However, both are public service-oriented entities that are fully prepared to
engage as feasible and appropriate in work-based activities that support the goals of the
HORIZONS Partnership program.
California State University San Bernardino is the principle Partnership member with school-to-
career involvement. The university's College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA) hall
a number of faculty members whose expertise can be tapped to help deliver 0IlT Neighborlwod. A
CBPA faculty member helped prepare this grant application. Also, CBPA faculty are assisting
the San Bernardino Office of Superintendent of Schools in instituting a school-to-career
program called "Future Connections," which involves local high-tech companies in exposing
high school teachers to skills and abilities required in the high-tech work place.
It should also be noted that CSUSB's College of Education is the Inland Empire's largest
provider of primary and secondary school teachers, and is involved in a plethora of
K-12!university education and school-to-career partnerships too numerous to list here. The
College of Education represents a resource that is well positioned to assist the Our Neighborlwod
program in the future, as feasible and appropriate.

u. Goal.
II. GOALS
This section of the application describes the goals of Our NeighblJThood, the Minimum Criteria that
the program will address, and efforts that will be made to continue the program (i.e., to secure
second-phase funding) at the end of the HORIZONS Partnership funding.
Goals
Our NtighbllThood has twO primary goals, which may be characterized broadly in terms of
"enhancing educational relevancy" and "instilling community service values":
GOAL I. Enhancing educational relevancy
Our Ntlighborhood. will provide workplace-based e"periences in which students
apply academic knowledge and adult decision-ntaking skills to produce a tangible
"product" (a broadcast program aad a renovated dwelling) whose creation will
clearly dentonstrate the relevance of their education to their future careers.
The guiding value of Our NtighbllT!wod is that students will be active creator-participants in the
production of the series and in the housing rehabilitation projects, working with adults in a
protege.mentor/apprentice-master relationship in which students will be encouraged and
expected to perform adult work and decision-making tasks of increasing responsibility and
complexity. The relevance of what students achieve and the academic knowledge and skills
required to succeed should be fully apparent to them as a result of the television program they
create and the once-deteriorated houses they help refurbish.
The three principle components of the program-housing reconstruction; video production; and
business management activities-will permit participation by both vocational and college-
oriented students, thereby addressing a broad range of students and school-to-career needs.
It is anticipated that student participants will be a mix of "one-time" and "permanent," with
some participating on just one renovation project, while others will work on the entire flI'St-phase
Our Neighbtn-hood series. It is estimated that approximately 30 students will be required to produce
one episode, and that up to 200 students can potentially participate. Among the permanent
students, those who show particular aptitude for it will be encouraged to take on as much
responsibility as they can for producing and managing the program.
GOAL 2: Instilling conununity service values
Our Neighborhood will involve lltudents in tasks and activities that will be of
iaDgible benefit to local Carnllie. and oeighborboods, so tkat students can see and
5

MW-Graat
Our Neighborhood
n, GDal.
directly experience the i.n1pactll of being of service to the local conununity, and
thereby can more fully comprehend their individual capability to directly improve
c:onununity quality of life.
The focus of Our Neighborhood on renewing deteriorated housing gives the program an inherent
community-service character, in that students will aid needy or low-income families who
otherwise might not be helped. The impact of this involvement will be intensified by the fact
that the program is local, its rehabilitation projects occurring in San Bernardino, and by the fact
that to the fullest extent possible participating students will be from the neighborhoods featured.
Through participating in Our Neighhurhood, students will engage in work activities that not only are
adult-level in terms of their complexity and responsibility, but should also be felt by students to
be particularly meaningful and substantive as a result of the direct, visible benefits brought to
individual families and neighborhoods. The implicit "moral instruction" of participation in Our
Neigltborhood will be the primacy of service to others over personal gain. It seems reasonable to
expect that many (if not all) of the students will feel the influence of this ethOll, particularly to the
extent that their adult counterparts in Our Neighbrnlwod communicate its importance to students.
Minimwn Criteria Addressed by the Program
Our Neighhurhood will address the following Minimum Criteria:
(a) Provide job training and/or placement for IItudents with the local parmenhip:
The three components of Our Neighborlwod (housing reconstruction, video production, business
management) will provide concrete job training for participating students, with the reasonable
likelihood that the most apt and motivated students will have opportunities to engage in fully
adult-level work of considerable complexity and responsibility. Additionally, given the range of
local government and business organizations that will participate, it is reasonable to anticipate
that some students will have the opportunity to transition from the program into local jobs,
whether full, part-time, or internships,
(c) Use occupation andjob market information to guide the education and career
tn.n.ng of youth in the partnerllhip: Programs at San Andreas, Redlands East Valley,
and San Gorgonio High Schools will provide a majority of students for Our Neighborhood, with
instructors from these schools providing the main liaison between the schools and other
participating organizations. This arrangement will provide ongoing opportunities for teachers to
directly interact with practitioners in their fields of instruction, and hence to acquire knowledge
and practices that might be instituted in present curricula and programs. It will be a priority of
the program to maximize the extent to which such interaction and learning occur.
(d) Link CBOs, business or labor organiaations , IUId govenunent agencies with
6
1999-240
HORIZONS P.......e....laip
Miai-Gr.-..
Our Neighborhood
n. GoaLo
public ..chool institutioDli: the public-private structure of the Our Neighborhood Partnership
will create ongoing relationships between the participating high schools and businesses
(construction contractors particularly), construction trade unions, local government (e.g., County
and City of San Bernardino and its Economic Development Agency), and higher education.
While it is not a priority goal of Our Neighburiwod to exploit new opportunities created by such
relationships beyond what is needed to create and sustain the basic partnership structure
required to produce the program, it is inherent to this kind of collaborative public-private
venture that linkages that are created may be able to extended to other school-community
initiatives. Participants in the Our Neighburlwod program will seek to facilitate such school-
business-government linkages,
(e) Provide professional develoPlnent activities for educators such as teacher job
lhadowing and teacher intenllhips, to aSlist educators in relating dasU'ooln
practices to workplace practices: The educator-practitioner interaction that will help
make Our Neighburlwod possible is likely to create a number of professional development
opportunities for teachers, eventually if not initially. While these are difficult to anticipate or
plan for, as with item (d) preceding, the intent will be to exploit professional development
opportunities that emerge as fully as possible.
Of the four Minimum Criteria discussed above, items (a) and (c) are the two that are primarily
addressed by Our Neighburhood. However, (d) and (e) also are encompassed by it, foreseeably in a
substantial way depending upon the character and quality of interaction that eventually develops
between high school teachers and the organizations that participate in the Partnership,
Future Funding Efforts
The first-phase series of Our Neighboriwod programs is conceived with the intent that it will be
undertaken as a proof-of-concept venture. If the program is felt by participants to merit
continuation-something that should be clear by about the half-way point in the series, i.e., by
about episode no. 5--effortS will commence to secure long-term funding.
The primary source of long-term funding is expected to come from participating local businesses,
particularly building contractors. The latter tend to be supportive of community programs as a
matter of corporate "good citizen" policies, and it is reasonable to anticipate that they will be
particularly interested in a program like Our NeighlxniuHid which is so germane to their businesses.
A second potential source of funding is the City of San Bernardino and its Economic
Development Agency (EDA). If the program is successful and is seen to clearly contribute to
neighborhood rehabilitation, a major goal of the city, it is reasonable to anticipate some
municipal support for it. As indicated in the preceding section, the odds of securing such
funding will likely incre~ if the City receives a federal "Empowerment Zone" grant.

The program will film Alvarez & Associates rehabilitation projects, which thus will constitute
effective in-kind contributions of the material and labor costs of dwelling reconstruction. The
HORIZONS mini-grant will be used to pay the majority of the costs of producing the ten video
episodes. The $2,730 not covered by the mini-grant will be paid either by Alvarez & Associates,
or by businesses who are recruited to participate in the Our Neighborhood Partnership after the
production of the series has commenced.

School to Career Grant
The School to Career Grant is funded by the federal government and
admini~tered throug'h t'he State of California Fmp1o}rment Development
Department (EDD).
San Bernardino County, by way of a community partnership, successfully

partnership is named "Horizons" and is comprised of educators,

career awareness, business/education partnerships and active student
participation, could compete for 16 - $50,000 grants.
Business organizations, including non-profits, community based
organizations, political entities, chambers of commerce, were asked to
develop similar programs for a $10,000 grant. Nine or these were awarded
this year.
The grant monies are distributed through purchase order requests through
the county office. Monies reimbursed by the county to the grantee, must
match the budget submitted with the application.
