2. INCOME SCOPE (p. ii-iii) Melanie Geddes, Director of Community Impact, Health Income Scope: Programs that provide low-income individuals and families with: Financial Stability Services In October 2010, UWBC began funding a prosperity initiative called the Center for Working Families (CWF), with partners Hispanic Unity of Florida and Urban League of Broward County serving as direct service providers at their respective locations. This is an evidence-based model developed and promoted by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and is operating in more than 60 communities throughout the nation. CWF offers a framework for delivering key services and financial supports using an integrated approach, all designed to foster new economic opportunities to enable the targeted population to Earn, Keep and Grow their assets. This is accomplished through family sustaining employment, income supports, manageable expenses, affordable housing, and savings and assets. For additional information, please access the Annie E. Case Foundation’s website: http://www.aecf.org/MajorInitiatives/CenterforFamilyEconomicSuccess/CentersforWorkingFamilies.aspx
3. INCOME SCOPE (p. ii-iii cont’d) United Way of Broward County seeks applications for programs which will help individuals and families Earn, Keep and Grow their assets through programs that will support and maintain clients’ long-term and ongoing financial success and help them to take advantage of new economic opportunities. While some applicants may, we do not expect all applicants to address all three of these areas; however, there must be a connection made among successful applicants to demonstrate an integrated approach so that clients are able to benefit from programs that support their ability to Earn, Keep and Grow their assets. UWBC will assist successful applicants to make those connections. Basic Needs Services Although our primary emphasis is on programming that assists individuals and families to Earn, Keep and Grow their assets as described above, the targeted outcome of Basic Needs Services is to provide low-income individuals and families in crisis with services such as food, short-term emergency assistance for rent/housing, utilities, transportation, medical and other emergencies. NOTE: United Way of Broward County is NOT seeking currently funded homeless-related services with this application process. Once the National Alliance for Ending Homelessness presents its consultants’ report and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners adopts its County plan related to homeless services, an additional Request for Applications will be released for homeless services.
