PROJECT SUMMARY South Plains Community Action Association, Inc. (SPCAA) has provided Head Start program services to low income children and families in the south plains area since 1965. . SPCAA proposes to utilize funds acquired through the CDBG grant ($80,000) with funds from private foundations ($35,000), resources from the US Department of Health and Human Services ($45,000) as well as funds currently secured for occupancy costs ($30,000) to establish a Head Start facility in east Lubbock on Martin Luther King Boulevard in the Dunbar Manhattan Heights neighborhood area. The proposed facility will provide services to 50 to 60 pre-school children and their families, Monday through Friday, annually from August to May. The proposed structure will be of steel siding (on concrete foundation) and rest in area with adequate space for an outdoor playground and paved, ADA accessible parking. Major expenses include: prefabricated building, contractor costs and materials. Mission and Impact on Current Operations Adequate facilities are essential to providing quality Head Start comprehensive child development services. SPCAA seeks CDBG financial support to help pay for a portion of the costs to build one Head Start center to serve 50 to 60 three and four year old children and their families in east Lubbock. During the past year, events outside of the program's influence have caused a facilities crisis for the program and jeopardizes the continuum of services to 158 low-income children whose families reside in northeast and southeast Lubbock. The affecting events include: • the brutal murder of a mother and 3 children in the apartment complex (where a Head Start center was located) followed by several other shootings, stabbings and assaults and self - recognition by the city's own law enforcement that this year they are experiencing a higher rate of unsolved crimes. • The change in management firms for the Windcrest Estacado apartments, • The closing and increasing evacuation of the Greenfair apartments, • The decision by the Early Learning Centers to discontinue serves to 3 and 4 year Head Start children. Last year, SPCAA used facilities at the Windcrest Estacado apartments this center was known as the Kreative Kings and served 40 children and families. Following the brutal, and yet unsolved murder of the single mother and 3 children, program management staff in conjunction with the Policy Council temporarily closed the Kreative Kings Center relocated the children and program services to another SPCAA center in west Lubbock. In January, the Policy Council and program staff agreed to try to return to the Windcrest apartment complex. Program staff tried to negotiate with the apartment staff to install and complete minor renovations to improve Page 6 FY 2005-2006 Funding Request security. Program staff were advised the new apartment management firm would not approved the minor modifications. At that point, the program's options included: 1.) discontinue services, or 2.) continue services at the alternate locations and search for another usable facility in east Lubbock to re-establish the Kreative Kings center. Program services have continued from the location in west Lubbock however while the west site meets the need to continue services, the site is not easily accessible to parents and inhibits the complete array of family services. Also last year, the SPCAA desired to relocate the Shaping the Future Center (2902A Weber).. The Shaping the Future center, in the Chapman Hill neighborhood and on the premises of what has been known as the Greenfar apartments, serves 34 children and families. The complex is operated by the Lubbock Housing Authority. A number of years ago, the LHA decided to build new housing options on property to the west of the current site and to close and demolish the Greenfar apartment complex. During the rebuilding efforts, the LHA has relocated most of the Greenfar tenants. Thus the current complex is almost abandoned and has those characteristics that are typical of unused, closed dwellings — un-kept structures and yards, boarded windows/thresholds, and frequent transit individuals using the structures at night, etc. As of last fall, SPCAA had hoped to secure additional space for the children from Shaping the Future at the Head Start Academy at 1611 Ave M. SPCAA has contributions from two foundations — the Lubbock Area Foundation and the CH Foundation to help purchase the additional, adjacent space. The program staff was not able purchase the space at 1609 Ave M and staff has initiated a search for another usable facility in lieu of Shaping the Future. Another recent incident that has affected Head Start services in east Lubbock include the pending change in services within the Early Learning Centers, The ELC, a United Way funded organization, have been a Head Start delegate agency for SPCAA for many years. ELC currently operates 4 centers including: Guadalupe (101 Ave K), Vanda (1301 Vanda), Carver (2509 Elm Ave), and Erskine (2714 Erskine St.). The 84 children attending the ELC sites reside in north and south east areas of Lubbock. Effective May, 2005 the Board of Directors of ELC decided to discontinue services to Head Start children and focus on serving toddlers and infants. SPCAA staff was advised of the pending change in March, and we have searched for suitable alternative locations through either additional delegate agreements or through securing facilities where SPCAA can operate the program directly. Program Mission The mission of SPCAA is committed to providing programs that work together to build multi -services framework of discovery, development, collaboration, and integration for self sufficiency and improvement of the quality of life. for residents of the South Plains area. Program Location and Relationship to Consolidated Priority Plan Page 7 FY 2005-2006 Funding Request The proposed location of the new Head Start facility is along MLK in the Dunbar Manhattan Heights neighborhood center. The. area is target area #9 of the CDBG Lubbock Consolidated plan. The primary objective of the CDBG program is "the development of strong urban communities" accomplished "by providing decent housing and suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities... the focus of the program is principally for low and moderate income persons." The proposed Head Start facility will provide a suitable environment for young, low income children. Target Area/Population to be served Low income children ages 3 to 5 and their families who reside in east Lubbock are the target population. The Head Start Act utilizes the federal poverty income guidelines to determine eligibility for participation in Head Start programs. For example to be eligible to participate in the Head Start program, a child's total household income cannot exceed $19,350. (Income level for a family of 4). Definitions of income are those used by the IRS and include income from all sources such as: wages, regular payments from Social Security, payments from unemployment compensation, public assistance (including TANF, Supplemental Security income, and emergency assistance money payments), etc. Benefits to Low -Mod Income Families 2005 celebrates the success in the 40'' Anniversary of Head Start Programs. Reliable studies have found favorable long-term effects on grade repetition, special education and High School graduation rates for Head Start children as well as positive family gains related to parental employment and family stability as well as community impact regarding reduced violence, increased positive involvement, etc. Cooperative Effort The new east Lubbock Head Start site will be build via a partnership of various public and private entities; including: $80,000 CBDG funds (this application) $30,000 Funds from the CH Foundation (confirmed and awarded) $ 5,000 Funds from the Lubbock Area Foundation (confirmed and awarded) $45,000 Funds from the US Department of Health and Human Services/Head Start Bureau (One-time facilities funding, application pending) $30,000 Loan funds to SPCAA from bank lender. Loan funds will be paid back by SPCAA using regular Head Start grant funds. Reasonable space costs are allowable Head Start program expense. Estimated monthly payments will be $400 per month for 20-year note. AM& FY 2005-2006 Funding Request 2. List Goals, Objectives and Outcomes.

Evaluation: Evaluation measures will be qualitative and quantitative in nature. Required city, child care licensing and federal programs inspections and evaluations will occur throughout the duration of the project. Ongoing inspections and evaluations will occur during the construction of the facility in accordance with the City of Lubbock Codes and Permits. In addition, Daycare Licensing inspections will be conducted prior to opening of the center. Child attendance and parent involvement at the center will be tracked on a daily basis and recorded in our computer recording system, Child Plus. Internal systems of monitoring have been established through the system of a Team Leader Monitor (TLM). E. PROGRAM INCOME Due to established Head Start performance standards, participation in the program cannot be contingent upon an established fee. Head Start funding guidelines require 20 percent of the total cost of the program be met in a non-federal share of In -Kind. In -Kind is received through parent participation and other volunteer services in the Head Start program. Economic benefits are of great success in the Head Start program. The preliminary results of a randomly selected longitudinal study of more than 600 Head Start graduates in San Bernardino County, California, show that society receives nearly $9 in benefits for every $1 invested in these Head Start children. Benefits include increased earnings, employment, family stability, decreased welfare dependency, crime cost, grade repetition and special education. F.

APPLICANT INFORMATION History of organization South Plains Community Action Association (SPCAA) was established in 1965, as part. of the Office of Economic Opportunity's War on Poverty Program. It has been in existence for 40 years, serving a multi -service agency in the rural counties of the South Plains. SPCAA operates as a Community Action Agency, with a wide and diverse array of programs whose goals and objectives are to make low-income people more self-sufficient. Some of these programs include Head Start, Child Care Services, Health Services, Community Services, Rural Transportation Services, Housing Services, Women Infants, Children, and Senior Companion Services. Many other services are provided under the auspices of these major programs. The significant factor is all Head Start children and families have access to these services. Mission Statement SPCAA is committed to providing programs that work together to build a multi -services framework of discovery, development, collaboration and integration for self-sufficiency and improvement of the quality of life for residents of the South Plains. The mission has remained consistent throughout the years. Prior Experience The development of Head Start began in 1965, under the auspices of the Office of Economic Opportunity. During the turbulent 1960's, legislators and policy makers realized that low income children needed to have access to education, health care and services not traditionally provided to this age group. Head Start was developed as a pilot project in 1965. The Head Start program has enrolled 21, 214,295 children nation wide since it began in 1965 (June 2003 statistics). Head Start and Early Head Start, as a national program, provide comprehensive developmental services to America's low income, pre-school children and families, including pregnant mothers and infants to age five. Head Start, in developing a holistic model, also provides social services for the children's families. Services for children consist of education, socio-emotional development, nutrition, physical and mental health. The strength of Head Start programs rest on two concepts (1) parent, and (2) community involvement. By understanding the importance of family and community involvement, Head Start is one of the most successful pre-school programs that work with low-income parents and children. Community non -profits and school districts collaborate with Head Start in developing unique and innovative programs to meet low-income children's needs. SPCAA has successfully provided Head Start services to the residents of the South Plains for over 40 years. Page 13 FY 2005-2006 Funding Request Population Served The Head Start service area encompasses a 12 county geographic area:in West Texas. It stretches from the New Mexico border and continues east for more than 200 miles. The service area in total covers approximately 14,500 square miles, most of it in very rural counties. In addition to managing the hardships of the distance issue, the programs have the challenge of dealing with isolated rural counties that have limited access to education, employment opportunities, social services, health care and nutritional services. . Children are eligible to participate in the Head Start program if they are from low income families or if their families are eligible for public assistance. Receipt of public assistance means participation in the TANF program (Temporary Assistance for Need Families) or the SSI program. The Head Start At establishes income eligibility for participation in Head Start programs based on the poverty guidelines updated annually in the Federal Register by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 9902(2). Annual Audits Audits are conducted on an annual basis in accordance with Head Start performance standards 45 CFR 1301.12. SPCAA out sources an audit of the financial system on an annual basis. As requested, the most recent copy of the Agency's audit is provided with proposal. 2. Staffing SPCAA is governed by a 32 member board of directors. Board members consist of elected officials, community or business sector representatives and target sector representatives from each county we serve. Mr. W.D. Powell, Jr. serves as the Executive Director of SPCAA. Intem, Mr. Powell provides supervision to the Head Start Director. Team Leader Monitors have oversight of day to day program operations and management and are supervised by the Head Start Director.

Each child that is enrolled in the Head Start program has compiled a "brown folder" containing information regarding themselves and their families. This document contains information regarding eligibility, health, education and overall family status. These documents are maintained by Family Support Workers and located at each site. SPCAA Head Start utilizes the Child Plus software for maintaining electronic documentation on children and families as well. Various reports are able to be compiled from this data. A Program Information Report (PIR) is compiled on an annual basis. Information contained in this report includes demographic information on the population served, enrollment numbers and an average daily attendance.
