Program and Project Reporting Presented by Annetta Jenkins, Riviera Beach CDC Executive Director Lynda Charles, CPSFL Vice-President of Housing
Program and Project Reporting - for Multiple Funding Sources Lack of Uniform Data Collection and Tracking System Limited Staff Capacity No Operations Funds Associated with Projects or Program funding. No Sufficient Revenues to Support Operations and Pay for Capacity Building Efforts Partner and Create System Maintain Data Base to showcase your program Raise funds to create systems and Neighborhood Surveys Make Data accessible Community Wide Challenges Opportunities
Does the Grant Amount Matter in Reporting? Larger Grants and Government Funding Small Financial Institution & Foundation Grants $25,000 - $50,000 $50,000 and Higher Government Grants: CDBG HOME SHIP Onerous RFPs and no Operations funding $2,500 to $5,000 Grant $5,000 - $10,000 $10,000 - $25,000 All Requires Application and Reporting with Annual Company Budget and Audited Financial Statements
Example of Evaluation and Reports Burdensome for Smaller Organizations Evaluation Reporting Program Report Financial Report Program Income Analysis funding Annual Report Key Performance Indicators Logic Model Deliverables SMART Goal
Lender Outcomes for Mid-size Grant To that end, in 2017, we completed five new, single family homes that were sold to low- to-moderate income, first time homebuyers. We have a target of acquiring 75 such properties, for low-to- moderate income buyers, from 55%-120% AMI. Project purchase prices will range form $175,000 - $275,000 per unit. This is a projected gross revenue of $16,875,000 over time. One of our top priorities is the rescue of vacant and derelict properties. There are approximately 185 vacant and derelict properties in this neighborhood. This program has the potential to impact at least 75 families directly, 375 families indirectly, or up to 1,500 people. We are in the process of mapping them to provide data for our efforts after this pilot program to reclaim units is completed. Planned for the next fiscal year is a giant mural for the back wall in the award-winning community garden about two blocks away as well as a street tattoo at the intersection of Avenue K and 10th Street. We are creating a strategy to develop an Opportunity Zone Capital Fund for acquisition and construction. This neighborhood will have the attention of at least two major clean up campaigns in the next fiscal year, adding to the beautification of the area.
