Page 5 II. (b) PROJECT DESCRIPTION SOCiety in the '90's is experiencing a burgeoning number of children identified as being .at risk"...children Who have experienced physical and/or sexual abuse, neglect, mental, emotional and developmental disabilities, truancy, homelessness, delinquency, drug exposure, .childhood" pregnancy, etc. In the past decade, the County of San Bernardino has experienced a dramatic increase in this "at-risk" population of children served by public agencies, wi thout corresponding increases in public resources. In some areas of children's services, case loads have increased by 1000%. It became apparent to the 1984-85 Grand Jury that this County, on its own, was unable to meet even the very basic needs of our at- risk youth. The assistance of our private sector was now imperative. In 1985, the Board of Supervisors, recognizing the urgent need to immediately respond to the severity of the crisis, supported the creation of an inter-departmental Children's Network of San Bernardino County. Children's Fund is the non-prOfit component of this network. It was set up as a 501(c)(3) organization specifically to raise funds to help meet the needs of our children that could not be assisted through avenues already existing. The following statistics help to illustrate the exposure in our at- risk children's needs which have so taxed our children's services that currently our system is unable to cope adequately: 40,361 child abuse and neglect reports were filed with Child Protective Services between July 1989 and June 1990. (Compared to 36,196 the previous year) 86,583 San Bernardino County children were dependent upon Aid for Dependent Children for the basics of life in 1990. (A 20% increase over 1989) One in five children in our COunty lives in poverty. (Less than $8,328 annually for a family of 3) In 1990, there were an estimated 5,038 infants born exposed to alcohol and/or drugs in San Bernardino County. (Compared to 4,482 the previous year) 4,696 children received services provided by San Bernardino County Dept. of Mental Health in the 1989-90 fiscal year. (Up from 4,457) Exhibits A & B-1 / CDOO GRANT PROPOSAL City of San Bernardino Community Development Dept. Page 6 There were 5,046 adults requesting shelter service due to domestic violence during Fiscal Year 1990-91 with 6,733 children in the care of such adults. (4,611 adults and 6,624 children prior year) In 1989, there were 2,624 babies born to teen mothers in San Bernardino County. The preceding description of children have common unmet basic needs which fall into the following categories: ( 1 ) CLOTHING (2) FOOD (3) EMERGENCY UTILITY AND EVICTION RELIEF (4) BASIC NECESSITIES OF LIFE (i. e. beds, refrigerators, infant car seats, etc.) (5) SELF-WORTH ISSUES (i.e. school athletics/extra-curricular programs, graduation expense, birthday gifts/parties, scouting uniforms/fees, etc.) The $20,000 requested will allow Children's Fund's proposed program to serve an additional 200 at-risk children residing in the City of San Bernardino. The intention is to assist them in obtaining the most basic necessities of life, i.e., food, shelter, and emotional needs of at-risk youth throughout our community by providing assistance which would otherwise be unavailable to them. These services can be lIade through individual or group distribution. The distribution of resources process targets clients (birth to 18 years) of all Children-serving agencies in the County of San Bernardino who are deemed at-risk. The POPUlation served is reflective of the County's cultural ethnicity makeup. OVer 51' of the population served is of low to moderate income level. Children's Fund's goal is to be directly responsive to an at-risk child in need; to eliminate bureaucratic red tape; and to distribute donated resources quickly and efficiently to the most pressing problems of at-risk children. The specific objective of Children's Fund is to engage the private sector actively in order to form a valid private-public partnership in attaining monetary and in-kind contributions and distribute these goods and services to at-risk children in San Bernardino EXHIBITS A & B-2 CDBG GRANT PROPOSAL City of San Bernardino Community Development Dept. Page 7 County who cannot receive same through existing public programs. II. (c) PROJECT PURPOSE Each year it becomes more apparent that Children's Fund is indeed a critical component of the Children's Network. As unemployment rises and resources to assist those burgeoning numbers decrease, the referrals submitted to Children's Fund rise. our strategic plan for 1991-92 dictates the Fund will raise the following: $140,000 in cash donations, $100,000 in grants and foundation funding, and $300,000 in-kind goods and services. This is a total of $540,000 that will supplement the needs of over 9,000 children. The specific purpose of THIS project is to serve an additional 200 at-risk children residing in the City of San Bernardino in 1992-93, thereby decreasing their need for life's essentials and ultimately alleviating the trauma they suffer as a result of poverty and/or being abused. The secondary purpose is to demonstrate a working public/private partnership to benefit children and impact their lives with the knowledge of community support. The very fact that someone cared can frequently make a difference. Examples of problems solved through Children's Fund distribution are as follows: (Also see sample report) Payment for a memorial service requested by 12 , 14 year old siblings to bring closure to the life of their mother. (Dad had died previously) Clothing and personal needs for a 16 year old who was abandoned after the death of her mother. Bed and bedding for young boy who had been burned and was recovering from skin grafts. previously slept on the floor) Payment of a past due phone bill for faaily medically fragile babies. (Phone in the necessary to the condition of the children) Football and track sponsorship to further minor's sense of accomplishment and keep him involved in positive endeavors. severely (He had with two bome is EXHIBITS A & B-3 July 21, 1992 Mr. Arthur J.
