PROJECT ABSTRACT
Organization: Bridge House, Inc.
Project Title: Bridge House Recovery Housing Program
Total Amount of Grant Request:$_350.865.00
1. Brief description of the proposed project in no more than ten(10)sentences.
For more than 30 years,Bridge House,Inc.has consistently supported those in need of substance abuse
treatment and recovery support. Through this proposal, Bridge House intends to build its capacity to
provide effective low-barrier housing support for individuals experiencing homelessness or who are risk
of homelessness and who also have diverse challenges and service needs including substance abuse
disorders. This project is meant to address the HI County Strategic Roadmap for Homelessness and
Housing by providing Detoxifixation and Treatment Options for People Experiencing Homelessness
which is Priority#2.
Bridge House will lease four(4) Recovery Housing properties in Kona and Ka`u that will house from
18 to 25 individuals (depending on number of children) who have expressed their desire to remain
abstinent and work towards independent living in the community. Recovery Housing is a is a housing
model that uses substance use-specific services, peer support, and physical design features to support
individuals and families who choose a particular path to recovery from addiction. It also provides the
opportunity for residents to be referred for services thorough our Care Coordination and or residents can
voluntarily participate in appropriate treatment and recovery services that Bridge House provides that
focus on the four dimensions of health,home,purpose and community as well as the cultural concepts of
ohana, 'aina and 'akua.
There is no strict timeline for use of Recovery Housing. Residents will work on a transitional plan and
it is expected that with coordinated support over time,they will have the resources to be able to move on
into permanent housing in the community within two years time and to be able to sustain their sobriety,
their health and the quality of life they have come to apprecite.

PROJECT ABSTRACT
Organization: CFS Real Property, Inc.
Project Title: Hale'Ohana Expansion
Total Amount of Grant Request: $ $90,471.48
1. Brief description of the proposed project in no more than ten(10)sentences.
Due to the capacity constraints at Hale Ohana, we are proposing to add four tiny homes on site to
address this issue. Prior to construction, permits will need to be obtained and the special use
permit for the site will need to be revised.This project will focus on the designing and permitting
phase,with the subsequent construction phase to follow per funding availability.The proposed
project is to pay for architectural,electrical, mechanical, structural,and civil site design services as
well as permitting for four tiny homes and one communal kitchen onsite. Revising the special use
permit to account for additional structures on the premises will be done as well.
The proposed work will include getting the site ready for four tiny homes, with two different sized
homes.These tiny homes will have dedicated bathrooms and share a communal kitchen.To ensure
the proper placement and sizing, a tiny home will be constructed or purchased. By breaking up this
project into phases,CFSRP believes it will be easier to accomplish all goals specified and execute
the project in a timely fashion.

PROPOSAL PROJECT ABSTRACT
Organization: Going Home Hawaii
Project Title: Reentry Recovery Housing
Total Amount of Grant Request:$529,729.68
1. Description of the proposed project.
Going Home Hawaii(GHH)proposes provide Reentry Recovery Housing(RRH)with supportive services
(Priority#11)for 50 male and female Participants 18+years old who are justice-involved the community
of Hawaii Island,either pre-or post-incarceration, to reduce recidivism(re-arrest and reincarceration)
and break the cycle of incarceration and homelessness. Nearly three-fourths will have histories of
homelessness prior to incarceration,and many struggle with substance use disorders and/or lack
employment and access to reliable transportation.
GHH operates one RRH facility(total beds: 86)in Kona for men and women, and two in Hilo(one men
only with 8 beds,and one women only with 8 beds),which provide a safe, peer-supported,structured
and abstinence-based environment grounded in the concept of pu'uhonua,a place of sanctuary for
those who have broken the law.
One-on-one,wraparound care coordination will provide access to employment,education,
benefits/entitlements,mental and physical health care, substance use treatment, and additional
services as needed, based on Participants'Individual Service Plans. Participants will be supported in
transitioning to permanent housing by learning to be informed and proactive RHH tenants and through
opportunities for tenant education, financial empowerment training,and housing applications and
funding. Care coordination is enhanced by trained community mentors with similar life experiences,and
by Memoranda of Understanding and working partnerships with organizations and community
members in criminal justice, employment, education, housing, health, and other services.
As a result, GHH's Reentry Recovery Housing will decrease pressure on shelter for people on the shelter
pathway, but who may need specialized supports as justice-involved individuals.Of the 50 anticipated
Participants served during the 12-month grant period,outcomes include 80%will obtain stable
permanent housing or appropriate transitional housing, fewer than 15 Participants(30%)will be
rearrested for new crimes or reincarcerated within one year of their release(compared to the recidivism
rate of 59.5%for Hawaii County),60%will obtain employment and maintain it for six months post-hire,
60%will obtain stable permanent housing or appropriate transitional housing,and 100%will enroll in
Medicaid.

Organization: Habitat for Humanity Hawaii Island, Inc.
Project Title:_Construction Capacity Building
Am
Total Amount of Grant Request:$_240,000
1. Brief description of the proposed project in no more than ten (10) sentences.
Project is to bring on board construction staff(2 Construction Managers and 1 Site Supervisor) in
addition to the current staff of 1 Site Supervisor,and to be able to pay construction staff a more
competitive rate to what can be earned in the for-profit market. Logistically, since Habitat builds
across all of Hawaii Island,we are hoping to have 1 Construction Manager and 1 Site Supervisor for
each side of the island so that construction staff does not spend excessive time and energy to drive to
locations that are on opposite points of the island. Having additional construction staff in house that
are being paid competitively helps with continuity between projects,and helps with retention of
construction employees and their know how,thus allowing the organization the ability to produce
more affordable housing for the Big Island each year to help more families in need. Currently,our
housing production has somewhat stagnated,given the limitations of finding qualified construction
workers willing to work below market rate compared to other local jobs in the field.

PROJECT ABSTRACT
Organization: Hawaii Community Lending, Inc.
Project Title: Hawaii Affordable Housing Fund
Total Amount of Grant Request*$1,617,465 *Amount Awarded: $808,732.50
1. Brief description of the proposed project in no more than ten (10) sentences.
The Hawaii Affordable Housing Fund will increase the supply of affordable housing in the
County of Hawaii by providing deferred payment loans (DPLs)for down payment and closing
cost assistance to low-income homebuyers. In addition, the Fund will increase housing
development and the diversity of organizations involved in housing development by offering of
lines of credit(LOCs) to on-island housing builders.
Homebuyers will receive financial and housing counseling through County FECs in order to
qualify for financing. Builders will receive technical assistance through HCL to train them on
how to become approved for free bonding through building suppliers and qualified to build
with Federal mortgage financing.
By the end of the project, an estimated 10 homebuyers will be approved for DPLs to make 10
homes affordable and deed restricted for low-income Hawaii County residents enrolled in FECs,
in perpetuity. In addition, an estimated 3 builders will have been approved for LOCs and
technical assistance to increase their capacity to build affordable homes for ALICE and below
Hawaii County residents under 120%area median income (AMI) and enrolled in FECs.
Funding both the buyer and builder coupled with technical assistance and housing counseling
will help create a pathway to homeownership within the County's affordable housing
ecosystem. HCl, in its roles as a CDFI,will coordinate the efforts of the FECs, County Section 8
Homeownership Program, and local builders to increase the affordable housing supply for our
low-income and ALICE and below renters so they can move into homeownership, thus opening
their rentals units for those who are currently houseless and/or extremely-and very-low
income local residents.
HCL is requesting$1,617,465 from the County for the project with $1,450,000 in lending capital
for DPLs and LOCs and $167,465 to match $41,014 in secured Weinberg Foundation grant funds
to cover operations for the project year. Project activities will be sustained beyond the contract
period using loan interest/fee revenue and raising additional capital through grants and long-
term, low-interest loans for relending.

duration, and time needed for documentation,the budget we are proposing would give this program
the capacity to handle between 250 and 580 calls in a month. In addition to making one-time referrals,
callers would have access to resource navigation and/or light case management to assist callers—
when appropriate—to address barriers and further assist households in successfully connecting with
the needed resource mrservice.

Project Title: Increasing Access to Care with Street Medicine
Total Amount of Grant Request: $ 260,000
1. Brief description of the proposed project in no more than ten(10)sentences.
Increasing Access to Care with Street Medicine will bring healthcare services for houseless
populations as part of our established homeless outreach.This project is an extension of the
mobile hygiene program that has operated in Hawaii County since 2014.The program brings
hot showers,toilet facilities, and other resources to houseless people from Hilo to Kona. Street
Medicine providers will deliver health assessments, screenings,wound care, prescription
review, and referrals to individuals who are houseless or incarcerated.They will answer
questions and be a trusted medical resource for individuals. Additionally,staff members will
confirm eligibility and assist with applications for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) and Med-QUEST.
The priority area to be addressed through this project is Expanding Street Medicine. Project
Vision will increase access to healthcare, reduce reliance on emergency room for non-emergent
care, and build connections between chronically houseless and resources toward Housing First
options.

Organization: The Salvation Array PROJECT ABSTRACT
Project Title-I TSA-FIS Transitional Housing Program
Total Amount of(Brant Request: $285,000
1. Brief description of the proposed project in no more than ten(1£I)sentences.
The Salvation Army-Family Treatment Services(TSA-FIS) proposes to transition current and former
feaster youth into permanent housing while providing supportive services to ensure the youth are
equipped with comprehensive life skills to address their financial,employment, housing, educational,
and social-emotional needs.. Time Transitional Housing Program targets current or former foster youth,
ages 18-25, in the county of Hawaii who are either homeless(living on the streets or in a shelter or
other temporary situation)or at risk of becoming homeless(as they will age out of the foster care
system and have no housing to transition to).
The Transitional Housing Program helps youth formerly in foster care snake a successful transition to
adulthood by providing case management and life skills training. To ensure participants transition into
safe and adequate housing,TSA-F6S works with local property managers and off-campus student
housing complexes to secure and coordinate affordable housing options.
The requested County of Hawaii homeless and housing funds will allow to TSA-FIS to restore and
increase its capacity to provide foster care alumni with a comprehensive program to develop their life
skills and financial stability and to provide temporary rental assistance and other needed housing
support.

PROJECT ABSTRACT
Organization: West Hawaii Community Health Center (dba) Hawaii Island Community Health Center
Project Title: Hawaii Island Street Medicine Program
Total Amount of Grant Request: $ $614,220
1. Brief description of the proposed project in no more than ten(10)sentences.
The Hawaii Island Community Health Center(HICHC)Street Medicine Program will be comprised of a
multi-disciplinary team including Primary Care Providers(PCP), Registered Nurses(RN), and Patient
Navigators(PN). HICHC will have two separate teams, one based in east Hawaii (Hilo), and the other
team based in west Hawaii (Kailua Kona). In designing this Street Medicine Program, HICHC incorporated
program development input from people with lived experience of homelessness. Our Street Medicine
teams seeks out people living in homeless encampments, or on the streets, and engages them to assess
their physical and/or mental need for treatment and care.The encounter includes gathering information
from the patient to determining if they are already an established patient of HICHC. If the person is
already an established patient,the team reviews the patient's medical history with the patient, and then
conducts a physical exam to determine what course of treatment needs to be pursued. If the patient is
not already an established patient,the team will quick register the person, and conduct a medical
history prior to conducting a physical exam and determining course of treatment. Every effort will be
made to deliver care at the point of contact in the field.The team will also be able to prescribe
medications, refill medication, and in some instances,dispense medication to the patient at the
encounter in the street, or encampment.The team will also assign the patient to a PCP, make referrals
for follow up care, and schedule the patient for their next appointment with their PCP.
The HICHC Street Medicine program will provide the same primary care services on the streets as we
provide in our physical clinics. Services provided through this program include, but not limited to,
preventative and acute medical care, COVID testing, vaccinations, health screening, chronic disease
management,wound care,tobacco and substance use disorder screening and treatment, behavioral
health assessments(i.e., depression, chronic pain,grief and loss,trauma,anxiety, PTSD,bipolar
disorder, schizophrenia),insurance enrollment, medication refills/fulfillment,and referrals to specialists.
HICHC's Senior Director of Clinical Operations,and Health Programs Administrator,will work with our
HICHC Data Analytics team to determine baseline aggregate data including demographic information,
clinical measures, and SDOH risk factors for unhoused patients.This team will then work together to
create benchmark goals,that will be tracked through monthly reports, which will be shared with the
County of Hawaii.
