The County of Fresno delivers the highest quality of public services to its population of$1.031 million residents in 15 cities,where over 55%of the population is Hispanic.There are 21 departments with more than 8,000 employees dedicated to finding better and more effective ways to meet the needs of the community.The County provides services in assistance programs, adult social services, child welfare services, business property statements, property tax information and payments, recorded document searches, and veterans' services among many others.The Fresno County Department of Social Services assists adults, children, and families to achieve health, safety, and self-sufficiency through a diverse range of services. Over 22%of Fresno County's population are immigrants with approximately 37%of them being undocumented. The County consists of 55% Hispanic, 11.9%Asian, 5.9% Black or African American, 3.2%American Indian/Alaska Native, and 24%white. The proposed program activities in Economic Development and Social Services Navigation align with the immigrant community's needs to advance economically, socially, and personally. Fresno County has been ranked among the poorest counties in the U.S., due to various factors around its farm labor workforce, minority demographic populations and its barriers. Fresno County is in the heart of the agricultural center of the world where many minority farm workers live in distressed, low-income areas.As a result,they face barriers to language, culture, education, and transportation among others.This positions them at a disadvantage in accessing information and resources to help them advance economically and socially.Through the proposed program activities, partner organizations will bring much needed resources to immigrant individuals that would otherwise not have access to.These activities will promote economic self-sufficiency through small business ownership and job trainings, and social advancement through access to public benefits, educational resources, and immigration consultations among other services. B. The County of Fresno will partner with the Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation (FAHF)as the primary sub-grantee for this program. Other program partners include Centro La Familia Advocacy Services and the Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board. Together these entities meet eligibility requirements in various manners. The County of Fresno administers public programs that directly benefit immigrant populations and has experience successfully administering state grants and contract funding. Subgrantees are established 501 (c)(3)organizations of the internal revenue code, has experience successfully administering state grants and contracts, and implements programs that directly benefit immigrant populations. i.The Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation (FAHF), located at 1444 Fulton St., Fresno, CA, meets all the sub-grantee eligibility and experience criteria to execute the program's goals and objectives. The FAHF is a nonprofit with a 501 (c)(3)status that has been actively involved in immigrant integration programming since its establishment in 2004.With almost 20 years of existence, FAHF has consistently demonstrated its commitment to supporting low-income entrepreneurs, particularly Spanish-speaking Latinx immigrants from rural communities throughout the San Joaquin Valley(SJV). FAHF's primary objective is to support micro-and small businesses owned by women, low-to moderate-income entrepreneurs, BIPOC individuals, residents of rural areas, and other under-served populations. By offering comprehensive services such as one-on-one consulting, financial education, and business development workshops, FAHF empowers these communities to overcome systemic barriers and achieve economic self-sufficiency. FAHF has been successful in reaching and assisting these individuals by providing tailored support and resources.The proposed activities align with the demographics and needs of the immigrant community in the jurisdiction by addressing these specific challenges and offering targeted solutions. In 2020, FAHF was subcontracted by the City of Fresno to administer$2 million in grants for the"Save Our Small Business"grant program. FAHF conducted the outreach and marketing for the program by developing a strategic marketing campaign to reach the under-served small businesses that are traditionally hard to reach and face language and technology barriers, among others. In 2022 alone, FAHF awarded 495 small business grants in Fresno and Kings Counties and the City of San Joaquin,totaling$1.2 million in grant funds from government sources. In the last 3 years, FAHF has successfully processed and verified over 600 grant applications and disbursed over$6.8 million in relief grants. Currently, FAHF is in the process of disbursing$1 million in grants for programs supporting Small Businesses Assistance, Eviction Prevention, and Mobile Food Vendors, benefiting 290 recipients throughout the City of Fresno.Additionally, FAHF provides affordable capital to consumers and businesses through our Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), the first established by two Latinas in California. Since becoming a CDFI in 2021,the organization has provided access to over$1.8 million in direct funding. 3 011's Ofjr�c� O,r, cr BN m 6 N t� N 9yo�c�NOMI C DO��'����2~ QUESTION 2: ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY AND SERVICES A.

INTRODUCTION The Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) is California's leader in job growth and economic development efforts. GO-Biz offers business owners various services, including site selection, permitting assistance, regulatory guidance, small business support, international trade development, and more. B. BACKGROUND AND PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Budget Act of 2022 (Senate Bill 178, Skinner) and Government Code section 12100.140 et seq. established the Local Government Immigrant Integration Initiatives program within GO-Biz. GO-Biz is pleased to announce the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Local Immigrant Integration and Inclusion Grant (LIIIG) to provide $8.2 million in one-time funding to support the development or expansion of immigrant integration efforts, increase community trust, and enhance the organizational capacity of local governments to support immigrant populations in California. The LIIIG is a one-year grant from September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024. Contingent on funding availability, GO-Biz may award additional funding for a second year. Eligible activities for LIIIG funding are further defined below and include but are not limited to: 1) Economic Development, 2) Social Services Navigation, 3) Intergovernmental Technical Assistance, and 4) Civic Engagement. The grant funding shall not replace any existing funding or required services. The applicant must provide a plan to ensure continuity of funding for proposed activities after the one-time grant is awarded for sustainability, including through public-private partnerships or other means. Applicants must create a comprehensive sustainability plan outlining strategies and timelines for maintaining and expanding the program beyond the grant period.
