U
OVERVIEW
The Community Dining Program (formerly Congregate Meals) provides nutritionally balanced meals in a social
setting to eligible individuals who are typically age 60 and older who reside in King County. The program
directly meets the described need and result in Renton—there is a Community Dining site in Renton, at the
Renton Senior Center, which serves lunch Monday-Friday. Of our twenty-five locations, housed at senior and
community centers, the Renton site is the most popular and serves the most meals. In 2007, 756
seniors received 19,021 meals at the lunch site. In addition to providing meals to seniors, the program also
offers nutrition education in the form of classes and written materials with an emphasis on senior nutrition
issues.
A variety of methods are used to reach our target population. Outreach occurs monthly via the
senior/community center brochures that are distributed on site and mailed to the center's members, which
include the nutrition program lunch menus and frequently a small section describing the program. In addition,
the staff dietitians/nutritionist and meal site Coordinators attend local senior oriented health fairs hosted by
senior centers, occasionally place ads for the lunch program in local community papers, and hand out flyers or
coupons in various community locations.
THE NEED
In the latest look at social and health indicators across King County as published in Communities Count 2005,
the fastest growing age groups are 45-64 and 75 and up. In addition, 22% of county residents don't make
enough money to support themselves and 10% of adults indicated that they ran out of food in the past year
and did not have money to buy more. King County communities have a need for social programs that target
these demographics. The Community Dining program fills the need.
Older adults frequently suffer from poor nutritional status and a lack of social contact which makes them a
target for illness and disease. There are many factors involved, such as loss of income, poor dental health,
chronic illness, the use of multiple medications, and limited mobility.
Age greater than 75, income that is fifty percent or less of the average, and having a disabling condition are all
factors directly related to nutritional risk and increased risk of hospitalization and institutionalization. Two major
studies released in 1993, one by Hart and Associates and one by the Urban Institute, dramatically illustrated
this well-known fact. According to data reported in "The Health of King County," the leading causes of death
for those age 65 + included heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. All of these diseases are related to
diet in terms of both cause and treatment. This is also where the vast majority of health care system dollars
are spent- on elderly people with these conditions.
Also according to "The Health of King County," the impact of socioeconomic status on health, especially for the
minority population, can be shown in the association between neighborhood poverty level and life expectancy.
According to United Way King County, South King County has the highest number of families living below the
poverty level and more people on food stamps than any other part of the county. The need for an affordable
meal as well as the importance of adequate nutrition to the maintenance of health and independence are well
known.
Based on client data provided to us by our lunch participants, many of our clients in Renton are nutritionally at
risk based on the criteria given above: income, age, and disability. Of participants who responded to the
questions pertaining to age, income, and disability:
• 59% are 75 years or older, 88% are low income, and 17% are disabled in Renton

aQ�N L��
Currently, approximately fourteen percent of King County residents are age 60+. With the population aging, it
is estimated that in the next 10 years that number will double. We are faced with the challenge of serving this
booming senior population, especially as the needs and preferences of the "youngest old" and "oldest old" are
so different. We are seeing a slow decline in Community Dining participation, which we attribute more to the
program model and less to need. We are looking at ways to improve participation; we do know that more than
10% of program clients county-wide use the Renton site and at least 8% of the Renton 60+ population utilized
the program in 2007.
RESULTS
Community Dining utilizes a number of strategies to achieve the result "individuals have adequate food." The
)lfirst strategy is in line with one identified by the City of Renton: increase the capacity of programs that provide
food, cloting, housing and healthcare, and residents' access to them. By providing a well balanced meal for a
suggeste donation, rather than a charge, Renton seniors are allowed to decide for themselves how much they
can affordi to pay for the meal and thus allocate their own resources. The meal allows some of the local
senior's monetary resources to be diverted from food to other needs such as rent, utilities, and medication. In
addition, by providing a meal to seniors our program can help alleviate the strain from over-burdened food
banks fre-ing them up to serve others in the community.

the city of Renton with the following strategy:
. To provide residents with the language and job readiness skills needed to obtain living

Result. If your program uses strategies and activities not identified by the City of Renton, you must cite best
practices or research supporting them.
The Free Tax Preparation Campaign is one program in a broad range of community based strategies to help
people maximize their income and to move toward wealth creation. The objectives of the Free Tax Campaign
are to help low income working people in King County to:
• Receive high quality free tax preparation services
• Increase asset building skills and opportunities
• Increase disposable earned income
• Increase utilization of financial institutions and instruments
• Increase knowledge and utilization of tax benefits such as the EITC and Child Tax Credits (CTC)
• Decrease utilization of high cost financial services and predatory lending products
The Renton Free Tax Prep site helps individuals become as self-sufficient as possible by improving the
financial literacy of the residents we serve. The site maximizes the incomes of residents by providing access
to the EITC and other tax credits and promotes financial education opportunities to customers.
After seven years, the Free Tax Campaign is perfectly situated to refine its asset building and outreach
strategies to reach underserved constituencies in Renton and throughout King County and help them, along
with existing tax customers, maximize their income and become more financially stable. Our planning has
been informed by the data we have collected from tax customers and best-practices from around the country.
With support from the City of Renton we will be able to maintain or current level of service and incorporate the
following areas of growth at the Renton tax site next year:
• Promote and offer savings bonds and credit counseling at the Renton tax site
• Expand outreach and services to the immigrant and refugee community
• Expand outreach and services to families who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless
• Educate agency staff about self-filing websites and promote utilization among tech-friendly households
• Introduce an online screening tool for public benefits that can be utilized by volunteers at the tax site
We look forward to continuing to work with the City of Renton to expand free tax preparation services and help
local residents become as self-sufficient as possible.

5) Estimate the amount of funds you will be requesting: $10,000

7) Please list your program's strategies and activities, and discuss how they will
achieve the identified Renton Result.
Consejo Counseling and Referral Service's (Consejo) domestic violence program
provides culturally and linguistically appropriate Community and Legal Advocacy
services to non- and limited English proficient Latina survivors of domestic violence. A
majority of this marginalized community identify themselves as refugees or immigrants.
Consejo's program strategies under Result 4 are: Strategy C: Increase the amount of
domestic violence services and programs and Strategy D: Assure that domestic
violence services are culturally competent.
Despite the best efforts of domestic violence programs to make services accessible, the
reality is that a large disparity currently exists in the quality of services received by non-
and limited English proficient immigrant survivors, and those received by mainstream,
U.S. citizen clients. The National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, in Harrisburg,
PA points out that, although domestic violence occurs across all classes and races,
literature suggests that women from communities of color experience more barriers to
accessing and utilizing the systems in place to respond to domestic violence.
Specifically, The National Latino Alliance for the Elimination of Domestic Violence, in
their Analytical Framework, states: "Many programs fall short of meeting the multiple
needs of a growing Latino population. Lack of access to many services remains a
primary concern for survivors who face diverse challenges and barriers that hinder them
from accessing the services they so desperately need."
Consejo's South County DV Program will increase the amount of services available for
Renton Latina residents and increase access to those services through culturally-
competent outreach. The bicultural, bilingual Consejo advocate's knowledge of the
cultural values and circumstances of Latino families, including their particular social,
economic, religious/spiritual and immigration issues, will ensure that non-English
proficient immigrant Renton residents who are survivors of domestic violence have
access to high-quality services.
Consejo's presence in South King County has grown as the population census shifts and
the Latino population grows state-wide. Consejo now has an office in Kent offering
Domestic Violence advocacy as well as the largest confidential transitional housing
program located in South King County. According to 2007 United Way of King County
Community Assessment, the Hispanic/Latino population is the fastest growing
population in each of King County's sub-regions, with a growth rate in South King
County of 29.7% between 2000 and 2006. Additionally, the Latino community currently
comprises 8.8% of the South King County region, which represents the highest regional
concentrate of Hispanic/Latinos in the area.1
In 2007 Renton residents were the third highest number of the all South King county
cities served by Consejo's South King County DV program, at 16% of the program total.
So far, in the first two months of 2008, Consejo has served 6 Renton residents in this
program and we expect to receive requests for services from at least 30 Renton
residents this year. With funding we are requesting from the City of Renton, Consejo will
be able to meet the community and legal advocacy needs of 10 of those Latina
residents. Consejo expects the overall number of Renton residents to increase in 2008
as the community's knowledge and trust of the program continue to increase. Our
Community Advocate is located in our new Kent Office to be more accessible to our
South King County clients. We do meet clients at appointments in Renton as a part of
providing advocacy.
Consejo's current DV Manager, Chelle Hunsinger has always enjoyed an excellent
collaborative working relationship with the Renton Municipal Court Advocate, Tina Harris
and Renton's Spanish speaking Detective John Awai. Before her tenure at Consejo, Ms.
Hunsinger also worked as the DAWN Latina Program Advocate and Consejo continues
to work collaboratively with DAWN's Shelter program. Consejo works very closely with
the DAWN Latina Advocate in providing services for this growing need in Renton and
South King County. In the last two years the Renton YWCA also added a Spanish
speaking advocate to meet bilingual service needs of Latina survivors of domestic
violence in the region. Most of these resources are over or at capacity. Now that
Consejo is offering a transitional housing program in South King County, our
collaborative relationship with DAWN's shelter program and the YWCA DV housing
assistance program to address the housing needs of Latina survivors in South King
County has increased. Also, our transitional housing program is working in collaboration
with the Renton YWCA and El Centro de la Raza to provide a financial literacy program
at Villa Esperanza.

Strategy A: Increase education about healthy relationships.
Activities:
1. Prevention education
2. Programs for kids
3. Anti-bullying programs
Strategy C: Increase the amount of domestic violence services and programs.
S4ategy D:Assure that domestic violence services are culturally competent.
Our Promoting Healthy Families Against Domestic Violence project will promote stability and resiliency for
children I ho have been exposed to domestic violence through utilizing trained clinicians to facilitate
educatioI and support groups within a therapeutic environment for parents as well as groups for their
children.rrhe children's group will target children of middle school age and younger and will follow the
Children's Domestic Abuse Program curriculum—the first curriculum developed specifically for work with
child victims of domestic violence.The parents' group will follow the Safe Futures and Domestic Violence
Training curricula, and will include a parenting component that focuses on enhancing the stability of the
parent-child relationship and increasing awareness about what constitutes abuse, and the direct and indirect
impacts of abusive behavior to their children. Each series for the two groups will consist of two-hour sessions
once per week over a twelve-week period. Over the course of the project year, we will provide four series of
groups. roup participants will be recruited from our domestic violence victim advocacy program that
currently serves over 700 clients, as well as from other domestic violence programs in the community. Each
group will be facilitated by a certified professional domestic violence clinician. Individualized follow-up will be
conducted by clinicians in our domestic violence victim advocacy program who will provide the parents and
children Nith any further treatment and services they may need.
Our project's objectives are to prevent future abuse and break the cycle of violence; assist parents and their
children in coping with the physical, emotional and mental trauma of abuse; and increase awareness of both
children and parents where dangers of abuse can target children outside of the family relationship, such as
cyber-bulying and on-line sexual predators. Our project's anticipated outcome is a reduction in the prevalence
of domestic violence in the community through increased education and support with regard to domestic
violence issues.
We plan o train interested participants that have graduated from the project to become peer support
specialists who will co-facilitate the groups and share their courage, strength, and coping strategies along their
journey based on their life experiences with domestic violence. Our Promoting Healthy Families Against
Domestic Violence project will benefit parents and children by facilitating their connection with others facing a
similar situation and helping them to feel less alone or isolated. A safe and welcoming environment filled with
compassion and understanding will help reduce any stigma the parents and children may feel over their
domestic violence experience.

Training for all of our clinicians regarding aspects of cultural sensitivity, cultural competence and self-
awareness with respect to these issues is provided at least on an annual basis. A number of our clinicians hold
the necessary Specialist credential to independently provide services to members of specifically designated
minority groups, and to provide consultation to clinicians who lack this specific expertise. Providing culturally
competent services is the cornerstone of Valley Cities' efforts to promote healthy families among diverse
populations. Our Promoting Healthy Families Against Domestic Violence project will be implemented with
consideration for the culture, values, and traditions of the individuals and communities being served,taking
into account issues of race/ethnicity, gender, age, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and

Result#8 End Homelessness in Renton
Strategy A: Provide services to prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless.
Activities: Provide one time emergency assistance (rent, utilities, water bill assistance).
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul conference (chapter) at St. Anthony Parish works to help local
resident4 in need through rent and utilities, clothing, emergency food for families (two days of meals)
lunch sack meals for homeless and working poor, gasoline, and household items/furniture. In
addition, we served 100 Renton families with Christmas food and gifts. People access services by
calling the King County St. Vincent de Paul Call Center at 206-767-6449 Monday through Friday 9am
— 3 pm. Initial intake is taken and information emailed/faxed to St. Anthony conference same day.
Local residents can also contact St. Vincent at St. Anthony Parish directly Monday through Friday.
Resources for additional assistance are also provided during the intake call and by the local
conference as well. To date, the vast majority of cases have involved people speaking English,
Spanish or Vietnamese. Staff at the parish is available to help translate as needed. In addition, the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Seattle/King County has membership in the Red Cross language
bank where help in over 80 languages can be obtained. Documentation of needs (i.e. power bill,
eviction 6otice, landlord information) is obtained during the office meeting at St. Anthony or during a
home vi it.
Early intervention services focusing on homeless prevention such as rent assistance, utility
assistance and resource and referral are vital elements in reducing the risk of homelessness and are
more cost effective than re-housing an individual or family after they become homeless. In addition to
providing one-time emergency assistance, we have good working relationships with local apartment
managers in Renton to identify and assist people before they are evicted.
Outcomes:
1) Reduce the number of evictions
2) Fewer homeless individuals/families

Strategy: Increase the ability of limited and non English speaking immigrants and refugees to access
resource and services.
Activities: Provide a referral system in 4 languages, Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish and East Indian.
Assisting individuals and families in accessing appropriate services and navigating through those service
systems.
Cultural Navigation services will be offered at CISC International Family Center located in Kent, inside the
Great Wall Shopping Mall. Bringing services to the community in places where people already gather, shop
and play is a somewhat new concept that we wish to expand on. It is well documented that many immigrant
communi ies, Asian in particular, experience great shame and stigma when accessing help. Others fear official
institution because of legal issues or negative experiences in their home countries. By providing services in
natural community settings that families access during their normal day to day routines, we can mitigate some
of this culturally based reluctance to request help. We can also create a community gathering place where
people go, not because they have to, but because they want to -for support and connection to the broader
communi y.
The proposed program builds on existing strengths and resources in the community, utilizing collaborative
partnerships and community wide consensus to plan for, implement, and deliver services. The project does
not address the acknowledged need of mainstream agencies for culturally competent direct service staff and
low cost interpretation services. It focuses rather on building client capacity to access and navigate systems
and workiig with existing organizations to build cultural competency through consultation, collaboration and
sharing o resources.
Cultural navigators will work directly with individuals and families that come to them for assistance. They will
provide ctllltural navigation in accessing and navigating appropriate services and systems. They will provide
referral information and reference materials, and assist in completing application forms, limited interpretation
and follow up, and family support services. By collaborating with other CISC programs and agencies in the
community, this project will provide informational workshops for the targeted populations to increase the
awareness of resources and services available in the community. Cultural navigators will also be able to
provide limited interpretation and translation during regularly scheduled hours at the Family Center and may be
able to offer more by appointment. Language capacity will include at minimum Spanish, East Indian,
Vietnamese, Mandarin and Cantonese.
The entire basis of this program is to provide culturally competent, linguistically accessible services. All staff
are bi- or multilingual and bi- or multicultural. Training will include monthly in-service trainings and
information/resource sharing between program staff. Cultural Navigators and the Program Coordinator will
also provide cultural training to other service providers and partners.

existing services in Tukwila And SeaTac to Renton city by pursuing two interrelated
programs-a)After School Tutoring and parent school connection and b) extension of
social services program hooked on for the effort of to provide family support services for
the Renton Somali refugees. It also means identifying families getting them
and/accessing services available for them .relatively speaking Somali refugees are new
corners when compared to most other refugee communities. In addition, life in Somalia
is drastically different than life in the United States. Everything from the School system,
social life, culture, traditions, and parent/youth roles are different. For those reasons,
many members of our community have had a difficult time adapting to life in the United
States. In particular, parents typically do not understand their expected roles in their
children's education; they do not understand English language and need assistance for
job skills preparations, housing applications, and immigration applications/forms to apply
status change. We will provide for the targeted outreach and awareness activities,
homebound visits, social assistances and counseling to help them achieve self-
sufficiency.
5) Estimate the amount of funds you will be requesting: $ 25,000.00

7) Please list your program's strategies and activities, and discuss how they will

As mentioned above, SCSC wants to extend two existing programs to Renton City,
a) we seek funding from Renton School District and Program
b) we seek funding from City of Renton through Human Services programs
2009/2010 funding cycle; for the following purpose:
SCSC is in need of full time outreach worker/social worker to help organize these
program, outreach to those in need and help to coordinate the delivery of services.
Funds from city of Renton will provide 30%of the funds needed to support this
program. This extended services need to increase the case worker time from part-time
to full time employee. In addition, SCSC is helping families-elders, parents and individual
refugees from Somali refugees to access the social services they need and to provide
support as they transition to their new life in king county, some of the services we will
provide include:
• Immigration requirements education
• Heslth and hospital referrals
• Filling out forms and applications for housing
• Translation/interpretation
• Assisting DSHS requirements
• Acculturation and behavioral orientations.
For the social services and family support,we will document the participant
information in the intake form, make a case notes, such as the number of
families/individuals receiving citizenship and the number of referrals to aging and
disability services and track the progress and improving their quality-of-life.
Quarterly reports including number of participants enrolled and cumulative number
to-date will be submitted to the city along with participant performance report
form for each to support hours billed. Community case worker will perform
outreach activities; assist client needs, deliver the services, and evaluate the
development.
Strategy B: Families and children have services and programs that support their
success in schools and access to them.
