Program/Service Objectives & Performance <br /> The next set of questions will provide grant application reviewers a clear sense of what your proposal is designed <br /> to accomplish and what is needed to get there. Please keep in mind that character counts include punctuation <br /> and spaces. <br /> 1.In 1,000 characters,explain the community need the program/service intends to fulfill.Evidence(data/citations) <br /> documenting the need must be provided.* <br /> • Hawaii County Animal Control Services took in almost 3,000 animals in FY2023-24 and had to euthanize more <br /> than 1,000 of them.They transferred more than 1,000 animals to rescues <br /> (https://records.hawaiicounty.gov/WebLink/DocView.aspx?dbid=l&id=137730&page=l&cr=1)and many more <br /> animals were taken in directly by the rescues.These statistics clearly show the need to control the <br /> overpopulation of animals on our island.Abandoned and stray animals are a concern not only because of their <br /> unnecessary suffering,but also because abandoned and stray animals that are scared and desperate to survive <br /> pose a danger to livestock and even people.The more animals we can spay/neuter,the less breeding animals <br /> there will be to continue population growth.Additionally,many financially challenged families and individuals <br /> need assistance with medical issues that,without AIR's help,often result in surrendering their pet to a rescue or <br /> abandoning them. <br /> 2.In bullet form,describe the ways your program/service advances the CHANGE category you selected?(500 <br /> character limit)* <br /> •The program affords improved quality of life. <br /> •Cost of living:Providing spay/neuter services and medical services such as vaccinations and parasite control at <br /> no cost helps families keep their pet without having unwanted lifters and prevents diseases that are beyond the <br /> means of many families to treat. <br /> •Increases safety:Curbing animal overpopulation decreases abandoned and stray animals that pose a danger to <br /> livestock and people.Providing basic medical care prevents the spread of diseases. <br /> Please refer to Logic Model Guide below when filling out questions 3-6: <br />
