Orangewood Foundation Services Coordination for TAY and Former Foster Youth, RFP #25-057A 2. COST PROPOSAL For the fixed rate of $632,839 over a three-year period, Orangewood Foundation proposes to provide support to TAY who have been awarded FYI housing vouchers from SAHA. Leveraging existing contract funding from SSA for our Independent Living Program, Orangewood will offer individualized case management, independent living skills training and workshops, engaging events, housing planning and navigation support, resource referrals and linkages, and peer mentorship to all TAY who have been issued a FYI voucher by SAHA over the three-year contract period. $632,839 in contract funding from the City of Santa Ana will be utilized as follows: •Orangewood will designate $54,000/year in funding over three years to provide short- term housing placement in a hotel, motel, or other temporary accommodations to TAY until they can secure and move into homes with their newly issued FYI vouchers. We anticipate that six TAY households per year will benefit from the short-term housing placement funds. •Orangewood will also designate $42,000/year in funding over three years to provide housing stabilization support to TAY with FYI vouchers who are experiencing financial challenges. This housing stabilization support can take many forms, including moving assistance, purchase of furniture and other household items, car repairs, and emergency rental assistance. Orangewood anticipates that 28 TAY households per year will benefit from this housing stabilization support. •For the first two years of the contract period, Orangewood will devote $150,000/year to subcontracting with Orange County United Way for their WelcomeHome OC landlord incentive program to support 25 TAY households with SAHA-issued FYI vouchers each year in securing rental housing from property owners and operators that will accept their vouchers. The $150,000/year subcontract with United Way will be spent as follows over the first two years: o $24,600/year for 0.25 FTE Senior Navigation Specialist to assist 25 TAY per year in finding housing with their FYI vouchers; o $24,600/year for 0.25 FTE Housing Stabilization Specialist to collaborate with Orangewood in supporting TAY in maintaining stability once they are housed; o $24,600/year for 0.25 FTE Senior Property Engagement Specialist to outreach to, engage with, and steward relationships with property owners and operators to convince them to rent with TAY with FYI vouchers; o $11,070/year for 0.10 FTE Program Manager to lead the WelcomeHome OC’s program team in this collaborative project with Orangewood benefiting TAY with SAHA-issued FYI vouchers; Page 19 EXHIBIT 2
