Start-up Non -Profit Organization Description. Describe when you started the nonprofit
organization and why this grant would assist your start-up non-profit organization.
Underground GRIT was formally incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 2019. As a
grassroots organization still very much in its early years of programming, newly established
funding partnerships are vital for expansion efforts. Since inception, we have continuously run
at capacity with limited funding and resources. This grant will support our efforts to strategically
expand services within the City of Santa Ana, where demand for re-entry services is high and a
majority of our current clients come from. This funding will allow our organization to implement
a very targeted program that meets the unique needs of the Santa Ana community, which is
heavily impacted by gang violence and generations of trauma. With this funding support, we
will expand on our current programs and tailor a model that directly supports the needs of
Santa Ana residents in need of re-entry services.
Brief Project Description: Underground GRIT provides a holistic approach to re-entry mental
health and supportive services.
Statement of Interest/Need. A brief statement outlining interest and qualifications for this
project. This should include your concept for the programming, including any particular
services to be offered. Additionally, applicants should state how their program will provide re-
entry services.
Underground GRIT's re-entry services aim to improve the lives of marginalized Santa Ana
residents by providing a voice to men, women, and youth who been system -impacted, with a
focus on individuals aged 16-28 who are impacted by gang violence. Marginalized youth and
adolescents are often vulnerable to the influence of gangs, which can have a significant impact
on the trajectory of their lives. For clients served by Underground GRIT, we aim to break the
cycle of violence for individuals who have been impacted by generations of gang involvement.
This population is highly exposed to violence and trauma from a very young age, often resulting
in limited access to education and healthcare and long-term effects on their physical and mental
health. These experiences often reduce their ability to build positive relationships and succeed
in mainstream society.
A major gap in services for system -impacted individuals, specifically within the City of Santa
Ana, arises from the many restrictions to accessing supportive service programs and limited
availability of services across the Orange County region. Many services aimed at system -
impacted youth lack trauma -informed care and do not implement a holistic approach to mental
health services that also incorporates self-sufficiency and resiliency. While other local agencies
provide case management only, we have stepped in to lead with a "walk through life" approach
that works with both clients and their families to navigate the many systems in their lives.
Underground GRIT works in Juvenile and Adult courts to advocate with and for our client
members in need of support to navigate the justice system and transition from life in jail or
prison to life in the community. Re-entry services are accomplished by providing holistic support
that incorporates mentorship and counseling services, career exploration and training, job
search, workshops, and financial literacy.
Program Description. Describe the services that will be provided, identify the target
population to receive services, the number of participants to be served and other relevant
information.
Services that will be provided under this proposed funding will target City of Santa Ana
residents of all ages and backgrounds who are system -impacted; however, individuals impacted
by gang violence and youth/adolescents aged 16-28 will be prioritized. With this funding, we
aim to serve 75 new clients who reside within the City of Santa Ana with re-entry supportive
services during the one-year grant term.
Our innovative approach to mental health and supportive services is tailored to system -
impacted individuals who are victims of gang violence. Trauma -specific therapy and treatment
services include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Traumatic
Incident Reduction, Reiki Energy Healing, Acupuncture, Trauma -Informed Yoga, Meditation and
Mindfulness, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Group therapeutic services are provided
through a 12-week curriculum that is uniquely tailored to individuals who have been impacted
by gang violence and/or involvement. Underground GRIT helps individuals heal from past
trauma by providing a Planned Parenthood's Healthy Relationships group that offers activities
and peer -to -peer dialogue that helps adolescent survivors learn how to identify healthy,
unhealthy, and abusive behaviors.
