numbers not single day representations. 4. Proposal Details #4: Partnerships page 9 at the end of the first paragraph you state "and many others" ... I really hate to nit-pick but what are the "many others"? In the second paragraph, you mention Hope University as a partner. How can it be considered a "partner" when it is part of HopeSource itself? JF Merit Resources regularly works with and considers the organizations listed in the grant as collaborative partners in meeting the needs of vulnerable populations in our community. The term partnership among social service providers in a community is a generally accepted term that defines cooperation and inter -referral among agencies within that community. Many others include any community agency that provides services needed for each individual. It is impossible to list them all, they will depends on the needs of each individual resident. This may include, but not limited to; DSHS, Bright Beginnings, YVCC, Work Source, the Housing Authority, Comprehensive Healthcare, ASPEN, Public Health and more. Hope University is a specific component of our housing program, they are a part of Hope Source, yes, but a valuable component that is being highlighted as an additional partner. ,5. Budget Narrative #1: Funding Utilization Page 14 You state "Funds for the program would pay house rent and utilities for a two-year period and would also help furnish the rental." Does this mean you have to come back every two years and asked for assistance? Is there any way you can accumulate money to begin to offset what you ask for and eventually (say 2-4 years) not come before our committee and request funds? JF Yes, there are currently no other funding resources available to fund this valuable Women's Sober House project. Although some program income may be received from participants in the sober house program, the program income is minimal and will not be sufficient to support the program.
