Alahou Clean & Sober <br /> Clean and Sober Housing Program <br /> Explain what plans, if any, your agency and/or program has to increase revenues to support this <br /> program. When do you anticipate your program to become self-sustaining? <br /> The income stream generated by Alahou's rental revenues appears to be sufficient to cover its facility <br /> rental, utilities, insurance and other operating expenses. It is not sufficient, however, to also fund the <br /> salaries of our Executive and Program Directors. And, while much of the day-to-day facility oversight is <br /> handled by resident volunteers, staff leadership and experience are necessary to ensure adequate <br /> community outreach, inter-agency cooperation, and program coordination and integrity. <br /> Over the next two years, it is Alahou's intent to build a diversified funding base comprised of a <br /> combination of rental revenues, government and private sector grants, and community support. But, <br /> given the nature of our program and our participant base, it is unlikely that Alahou Clean & Sober will <br /> ever become self-sustaining based only on fees-for-service. <br /> Alahou Clean & Sober projects the provision of 17,065 bed-nights to some of Hawaii's most at-risk <br /> citizens—at a cost per bed-night of roughly $20.15. Of this cost, $12.77 is funded by program fees <br /> collected from our participants and $1.47 is funded by Big Island United Way. We ask the County of <br /> Hawaii to contribute another$1.75 per bed-night to help us bridge the gap. <br /> Please disclose (list here) any affiliations that any employee or volunteer of your organization <br /> may have with the County of Hawai'i: <br /> None. <br /> NONPROFIT GRANT APPLICATION <br /> FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br />
