Attachment #1: Resident Household Characteristics

Provide a detailed description of the resident household characteristics, needs, and preferences of the intended residents, and how the proposed Development will meet the needs and preferences of the intended residents.

Promise consists of a group of dedicated individuals who live the life and whose mission is to provide an affordable and supportive housing development in West Melbourne for individuals with developmental disabilities. Our knowledge of resident characteristics, needs and preferences are largely derived from our personal experiences interacting with and caring for individuals with developmental disabilities on a daily basis. We are simply family members who have reached out to our community to develop public/private partnerships to help make Promise a reality.

Our passion for this project not only was the result of our own personal experiences but from input we received throughout our community and an examination of the data. The sad reality is that a large void currently exists as it relates to adequate housing and supportive services for individuals with developmental disabilities. This need is especially acute considering that there are more than 22,000 individuals on the waiting list for supports and services provided by the Agency for Persons with Disabilities. Among the more urgent realities we face is the need to rapidly develop safe, decent and affordable housing. We also understand that it is essential to establish a system that incorporates the necessary supports to provide a safe housing development that incorporates selfdetermination, health and wellness, physical fitness, and life-long learning opportunities.

Per Florida Housing's requirements, Promise will guarantee that at least 80% of the residents housed in this 50-unit, 131 bedroom rental development will be individuals with developmental disabilities as defined by Section 393.063(9), Florida Statutes. Promise will develop appropriate protocols, consistent with HIPPA regulations, to identify these individuals to ensure that the 80% threshold is maintained. Additionally, some of the units comprising the residual 20% will house individuals aging out of foster care - some of which will have a developmental disability. These individuals are at a very high risk of experiencing a crisis due to loss of housing and family support and are at substantial risk of institutional placement. Some units will be occupied by resident assistants provided through Premise's partnership with the Florida Institute of Technology (F.l.T.) who will provide resident support and mentoring at the Promise development and in the community.

Promise conducted a comprehensive electronic survey in 2010 to gauge whether or not there was a demand for a larger development targeted to individuals with developmental disabilities. The survey also collected potential resident household characteristics relative to the following: general personal information, age of resident, age of the caregiver type of disability, types of assistance and supportive services needed, preference as to how resident wanted to live, rent affordability, ranking in importance of services and amenities and how soon this housing was needed. To date, Promise has

Promise FHFC Request for Applications Response Page 1


collected information on over 230 potential residents and has maintained and periodically updated this data which further reinforces the demand for a development of this type.

Important to highlight is the component of the survey that dealt with the preferences of the future residents of the Promise development. The survey asked whether or not the resident would prefer to 1.) live alone in own apartment, 2.) live in a two bedroom unit with a roommate and shared bathroom facilities, or 3.) have own bedroom and bathroom, regardless of the number of bedrooms, and share common areas with other roommates. The survey data revealed that many of the interested residents preferred option 3. This allows each resident their own space and privacy but also promotes frequent interaction with others. These preferences have driven the design for Promise which will utilize a mix of one, two, three and four bedroom apartments.

The needs of those with developmental disabilities vary greatly depending on the nature of the disability. Individuals with a developmental disability should have a responsive and fluid continuum of care that provides the support to suit their needs, access to life skills and vocational training, meaningful employment and life enrichment activities that engages them in mainstream society. Premise's housing concept fosters a holistic approach that caters to the needs of those with developmental disabilities.

Some of the needs of the potential residents are as follows:

;;.. Support services coordination that will help residents and families navigate through various federal and state systems such as Agency for Persons with Disabilities, Social Security, Medicaid and other services that may be provided through agencies that deals with this market

;;.. Life Skills coaching that will assist residents with developing and/or enhancing independent living, interpersonal and communication skills

;;.. Vocational training and development workshops that will provide useful tools and techniques that lead to meaningful employment opportunities

;;.. Partnering agencies that will agree to provide employment opportunities ;;.. Creative social activities that provide daily enrichment opportunities to residents

of the development ;;.. Access to health and wellness programs with nutritional guidance and the

necessary training that promotes maintaining healthy lifestyles ;;.. Transportation to and from critical appointments, marketplaces, shopping

centers, employment, etc. ;;.. Access to healthcare services to suit the needs of Promise residents

Promise has received assistance through Florida Housing's Predevelopment Loan Program that has created an opportunity for Promise to acquire portions of the land that will be necessary to develop an all-encompassing development with complementary support services coordination. Some of these services will be provided through partnering agencies such as the following:



Y The Scott Center for Autism Treatment through F.l.T. -will provide volunteers and resident assistants that will assist Promise residents with daily living skills, through peer-relationships and provide support services coordination on-site as necessary

Y Chapel Haven - Will provide training and support to Promise staff in the areas of life skills coaching, health & wellness, college readiness workshops and residential transition programs for adults

Y Interventions Unlimited - will offer individualized and group programs providing specialized instruction to individuals with development disabilities and other behavioral and learning disabilities

Y Turnguest Resource Center - will provide access Family Self-Sufficiency Programs and includes resources such as a computer lab and classes in various "life skills," including computer proficiency, nutrition, managing money and home ownership.

Y Brevard County Family Partnership - currently provides via contract administrative support services to Promise in the areas of financial services, IT, human resources, grant writing and public relations in addition to providing services coordination and access to opportunities for young adults aging out of foster care

Y City of West Melbourne - provides land for the Promise Cafe and Bakery at the new West Melbourne Community Park, which will provide vocational training and employment for Promise residents and others with disabilities

Y Brevard County Public Housing Authority - has pledged at least 50 projectbased vouchers to Promise. They have further committed their ability to designate units as "public housing" units, entitling residents of the units to receive rental assistance and additional support services at no cost to the resident through the Turnquest Resource Center

Although the list above is not all inclusive of all of the support for this project, it does demonstrate that Promise has pulled together a team that is committed to ensuring that this project comes to fruition and is successful once completed. Promise has a voluminous amount of support for this development evidenced through MOUs you will see attached in subsequent sections. Promise and its team of partners will be more than able to handle the rigors of this project so that all needs and preferences of the intended residents will be met. Further, Promise has already done significant work in learning the likely household characteristics and modeled our community to address them. Our team has the requisite professional experience and expertise to manage and operate the development in collaboration with our partners who have agreed to provide resources to support the development and its residents therein.


Attachment #2: Marketing, Outreach and Tenant Selection

Describe the outreach and marketing activities, beyond those required in the Fair Housing Act as implemented by 24 CFR Part 100, that will be conducted initially and on a continuing basis to market the Development to the focus populations and will be used to develop and retain a pool of prospective residents. Specify any community organizations or agencies that the Applicant will work with to establish and manage a system of referring persons served by these entities to the Development for tenancy. Describe the person to be referred, the system or process of referring these persons, the related Best Practices to be used in implementation.

There is a great demand for a development of this magnitude that serves individuals that have developmental disabilities. Although there are agencies and community based organizations that provide support services to this target market, very few have experience developing affordable housing options other than more restrictive congregate care settings such as group homes and institutions.

Premise's initial outreach efforts have been in place for several years now which included an extensive survey conducted to ascertain the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities. This outreach revealed that young adults leaving high school with developmental disabilities desire to live on their own and work independently in mainstream society. This survey produced a list of over 230 individuals that would potentially be eligible to reside in a multifamily community and be successful in living independently.

The success and effectiveness of the ongoing Promise strategy for marketing and outreach is evidenced by the 230 individuals that have expressed interest in Promise and are awaiting the much needed housing and other services it will offer. Promise in Brevard is already well known to a large segment of the stakeholder community. The co-founder and Executive Director of Promise is a parent and has been a highly visible advocate for individuals with disabilities at both the state and local levels for decades. The personal relationships developed over the years have ensured good word-of-mouth publicity for this development which is expected to continue into the future.

Ongoing outreach and marketing efforts will serve to continue building a pool of qualified potential residents. This will involve outreach to the local Family Care Council which is established in each service region for the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APO). The Family Care Councils are made up of gubernatorial appointees and are established to be a resource to family members and self-advocates. They are an important source of information and support for many families who have loved ones on the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver waiting list.

Promise will work closely with the local APO office to ensure that the development is listed on the resource guide that is maintained for each service region by APO and available on the agency's internet site. It will also provide information to APO case managers who serve people on the waiting list for the HCBS waiver. Promise also has an ongoing working relationship with the local housing authority which can make referrals to qualified individuals.



Promise understands the importance of outreach and openness to the process relative

to technical compliance with all Fair Housing rules and regulations and will meet those

regulations with its application process administered by Royal American Management,

Inc. and the various processes they have in place for compliance. Royal American

Management has been in business for over 40 years and has specific experience in

working with individuals with developmental disabilities. Their processes and

experience add an important layer to the outreach and compliance mechanisms that

Promise will utilize in pre-lease up and long-term leasing activities to maintain a

successful development. In addition to meeting the technical requirements of Fair

Housing, Promise will create various standard items that will serve as marketing tools

for this project which will include flyers, announcements on Promise's website, an

informational brochure and PowerPoint presentation. These items will be disseminated

throughout the community to organizations that specialize in working with persons with

developmental disabilities, caregivers, public officials and other community

stakeholders.

These marketing and informational tools will relay information about Promise, the

services it will provide, partnering agencies, resident eligibility requirements and the

benefits of living in a community designed to meet the needs of individuals with

developmental disabilities to ensure full community inclusion. A PowerPoint

presentation will be used to provide greater details and development highlights to public

officials, families seeking independent living alternatives and supportive services

organizations that will provide referrals as well as services to the Promise development.

These tools will be used initially as well as on an ongoing basis to always have a ready

pool of applicants should a unit become vacant.

Promise will rely heavily on the strong coalition of partners that have agreed to provide

various services to the residents of this development to get its message out and refer

additional prospective persons to Promise for possible residency. Promise currently has

relationships, and in many cases, executed MOU's with entities such as the Florida

Institute of Technology, Brevard Business Leadership Network (Brevard BLN),

BRIDGES, Heart-to-Heart, Brevard Housing Authority, Space Coast Volunteers in

Medicine, Brevard Health Alliance and the Brevard Family Partnership that will provide

resident support services such as vocational training, employment opportunities,

healthcare access, counseling, recreational activities and other ancillary services that

serve to promote the professional and the continued social development and interaction

of residents of the development.

Promise and Royal American Management will continue to work closely with these

entities to collaboratively market this development and provide the following:

);>- Housing information relative to the development and the qualifications required

for potential residents );>- Community resources and support services to ensure that people are successful

in their living situation, i.e. resident support services coordination );>- Advocacy with the City, County and other stakeholders to ensure that people with

developmental disabilities continue to be included in local and state planning

efforts



~ An array of options for community integrated living to give consumers choices among residential options

Individuals to be selected as tenants will include those individuals that are (i) income qualified, (ii) have a developmental disability as defined by s. 393.063(9), F.S. with the exception that up to 20% of the residents can be individuals without a developmental disability, (iii) choose to live in a multi-family development geared to providing individuals with developmental disabilities an independent living environment, and (iv) has support services funding in place and the ability to pay the determined rent portion and other costs for the available unit. Agencies that are currently working with potentially eligible residents will be asked to make at least a cursory examination to ensure that the potential resident meets eligibility criteria. After someone is initially referred, the potential resident will undergo the application process to verify eligibility. Specific guidance will be solicited from legal counsel to ensure compliance with all Fair Housing requirements and that individual needs can be met.

Promise will work in tandem with Royal American Management to develop an application process and an order of selection for offering housing to people that have expressed an interest in living in the neighborhood to be developed. This process will include determining not only the restrictions for the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, subsidy and investor partner requirements, but that appropriate determinations for a person's disability (if applicable) and housing needs are documented and that a waiting list is at all times available to provide for immediate occupancy. This will also include that gathering of income documentation, authorization to release information necessary to validate application information, current supportive services available, needs assessment and other information that may be necessary to verify eligibility and evaluate suitability for housing at Promise.

Promise will actively assist management in this review and lease up process to ensure that the target population is being served. More specifically, Promise will provide the following services to the management company:

~ Assist with the lease-up and ongoing management of the apartments ~ Serve as a key player in the tenant selection process ~ Set up an outreach and referral system that ensures all stakeholders are aware

of the housing opportunities provided by Promise ~ Provide application workshops and community meetings to ensure that the

features of the program are effectively communicated ~ Assess and prescreen applicants to determine preliminary eligibility ~ Provide resident support & benefit coordination upon move-in ~ Serves as the point of contact between residents, services providers, property

management and family as appropriate.

The vital resident support and benefits coordination role that Promise will play will ensure that problems are resolved early and that tenants are successfully living in their own apartments.

PROMISE IN BREVARD

Promise In Brevard Names & Address of Governing Board of Non-Profit

Bettina D. Farmer, Executive Director

1490 Dowd Court SE

Palm Bay, FL 32909

Betsy's journey in the disability world began on November 10th 1985, with the birth of her second son,

Luke, who was born with Down Syndrome. Frustrated over the lack of programs available for her son,

she co-founded the Space Coast Early Intervention Center (SCEIC) in Melbourne, FL. The Center began

with three children and one paid teacher in 1987 and grew to an enrollment of 72 children with and

without disabilities and a staff of 36 dedicated professionals by 2001. During the 15 years she served

as Executive Director, SCEIC gained national recognition and drew visitors from around the world.

Over $5 million was raised from local and national fund raising efforts during her tenure.

Betsy worked for the National Center for Boundless Playgrounds from 2002-2004 and was

instrumental in establishing Florida's Boundless Playgrounds initiative with then Governor Jeb Bush.

In 2005 with Luke's graduation near, Betsy realized that she needed to be there to ensure that the

SCEIC students graduating from high school were provided the opportunity to have a fulfilling and

productive life. She founded the Brevard Business Leadership Network (Brevard BLN) in July of 2005

to establish a network of employers dedicated to expanding the career opportunities for students and

adults with disabilities. In January of 2008 Betsy added an employment agency component to the

Brevard BLN to provide a seamless support system for both the individuals served by the BLN and the

BLN business partners.

In October of 2009 Betsy established her 3rd non-profit organization, Promise, with the mission of

providing a housing development for adults with special needs.

Betsy served on the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council for 9 years and was instrumental in

establishing Florida's first Project SEARCH site in Brevard.

Stacy serves as liaison between her agency (tissue recovery for donation), hospitals and medical

ensure that every family's wishes are fulfilled when it comes to making the decision to donate the gift

of life. After graduating from UCF with a BA & CBA degree in Advertising and Public Relations, Stacy

went on to become certified as a Behavioral Analyst.

She has always had a desire to help others in any way possible and began her career out of school

fundraising for children's charities. She spent many years in that capacity helping to raise money for

children in our community that were in need. The demands of family life lead her to a more

traditional position in which she could still help people but would also have more time to spend with

her own children. She never lost the heart to contribute and continued to volunteer and donate to

local charities in her spare time. She became personally touched with special needs children when

she fell in love with and married her husband, the father of two special needs sons. Sadly, one of the

boys passed away, leaving her with one very exceptional and precocious special needs stepson. While

the two have grown very close over the years, Stacy has grown more determined to help him to live

up to his full potential and enjoy a meaningful and fulfilling life. Stacy is very passionate in doing

whatever she can do to help her stepson, Chandler, and many other young adults with similar needs

fulfill their dreams of one day living on their own and as Luke Farmer puts it, "Having a life!

OPERATING/MANAGING PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING EXPERIENCE Promise in Brevard

Royal American Management, Inc. (RAM) has extensive experience operating and managing Permanent

Supportive Housing, which targets specific populations and provides activities and programs to meet the

corresponding needs of these communities and residents. RAM currently manages a number of affordable

communities and units which target families, elderly, homeless, persons with developmental disabilities,

and other special needs populations. We have managed congregate and assisted living facilities, currently

managing several developments with special needs set-asides, and are well versed in providing

comprehensive Resident Services that are tailored to meet the needs of our residents while fostering a

genuine sense of community.

RAM's mission is to provide the greatest degree of professional property management services by

enhancing returns to investors/clients and increasing property values; however, its main objective is to

embrace and invest in local neighborhoods and to deliver quality housing and meaningful programs to its

residents. RAM has been serving the Communities in which we live and work, providing quality property

management services, for over 40 years, with over five (5) years experience specifically serving special

needs communities and throughout the 40 years of service serving individuals with special needs.

Community stewardship is a pillar of all Royal American Companies (the Company) and was in part the

inspiration on which the Company was founded. The commitment to serve others and contribute to the

communities of which we are a part is a core company value and a belief that has been instrumental in

shaping Royal American's culture. The Company believes that improving the quality of life for others in our

communities goes hand in hand with being a successful, growing, and thriving company. Being present in

local neighborhoods and creating positive changes that make a difference in the lives of people we serve,

resonates in the heart of every Royal American employee. The Royal American Family takes great pride in

working together to bring community resources to those in need, improving the quality of life for others.

Supportive housing is just that - housing- as opposed to a program of treatment, a shelter or a residential

care facility. RAM, in partnership with Promise, will provide and/or facilitate access to an array of

supportive services designed to assist the residents to sustain housing stability and to live productively in

the community. Residents will be provided with direct access to a variety of services, including adult

education, information referral for health and employment services, crisis intervention and a host of other

supportive services. A resident's stability and well-being means that they are more likely to contribute to

local life - shop locally, participate in school and community activities and interact positively with the rest of

the neighborhood. RAM Services include but are not limited to:

./ 24 hour Management On-site Contact

./ Full time Resident Services Coordinator

./ Counseling/Case Management provided by licensed professionals including Assessments, Resource

and Referral to Community Agencies, and follow-up

./ Transportation to grocery store, doctor's appointments, social outings, etc.

1

Attachment 9

./ Daily Social Activities - On site supervised structured activities, at no cost to the residents, at least

five days a week ./ Assistance with Light Housekeeping, Grocery Shopping and/or Laundry - The Applicant or its

Management Agent will provide residents with a list of qualified service providers for (a) light

housekeeping, and/or (b) grocery shopping, and/or (c) laundry and will coordinate, at no cost to the

resident, the scheduling of services .

./ The Resident Services Plan will include activities that empower residents such as canned food drives,

clothing drives, preparing bagged lunches and distributing them to the homeless and other activities

which give them a sense of pride and the joy of being able to give back to the community. Residents

will be encouraged to participate in activities centered on their interest, not those planned based on

what management thinks residents want, but on what residents indicate they would like to take part in.

This is done by surveying residents, increasing participation as residents take ownership in planning

activities.

Comprehensive supportive services which promote mobility, self care and independence, in addition to

assistance with daily functions, will be coordinated by RAM in conjunction with Promise and several

organizations and agencies, listed below, which service this targeted population, including but not limited

to:

./ The Scott Center for Autism Treatment through Florida Institute of Technology, provides volunteers

to assist individuals that have autism and other developmental disabilities and provides the research

basis for behavioral and psychological services .

./ Chapel Haven will provide training and support to Promise staff in the areas of life skills coaching,

health & wellness, college readiness workshops and residential transition programs for adults

./ Interventions Unlimited offers individualized and group programs providing specialized instruction to

individuals with development disabilities, behavioral and learning disabilities .

./ Turnquest Resource Center The center houses the Family Self-Sufficiency Programs and includes

resources such as a computer lab and classes in various "life skills," including computer proficiency,

nutrition, managing money and home ownership provides training and development and other support

services ./ Brevard County Family Partnership- currently provides via contract administrative support services

to Promise in the areas of financial services, IT, human resources, grant writing and public relations.

They will also provide services coordination and access to opportunities for young adults aging out of

foster care

Resident Activities in addition to daily activities - These specified activities are planned, arranged,

provided and paid for by the Applicant or its Management Agent. These activities will be an integral part of

the management plan. The goal here is to foster a sense of community by bringing residents together on a

regularly scheduled basis by providing activities such as holiday and special occasion parties, community

picnics, newsletters, special functions, etc. RAM employs a full time Resident Services Coordinator whose

job is devoted to developing customized Resident Services plans based on community needs and the

2

Attachment 9

desires of the residents. She puts together Resident Surveys, plans activities, coordinates with facilitators,

provides professional flyers and annual activity calendars and generally assists the staff in any way

necessary to assure that the programs are implemented. She also tracks all activities and produces an

annual report detailing the programs provided, facilitators and the number of residents in attendance.

RAM's commitment to serving local communities and the Special Needs populations, goes far above and

beyond the norm. The majority of residents living in Royal American managed communities are considered

at or below poverty level and face a number of barriers that have to be overcome to improve their financial

situation and quality of life, however in order to do so, they desperately need resources and personalized

assistance. RAM is committed to this effort and established a 501 (c)(3) in 1999 called One on One, One

by One. RAM developed this model and has sustained this effort for over 14 years, acquiring performance

based grant funding of up to 1.2 million per year, to pay for supportive service and operate this initiative.

This organization assists individuals in making the transition from welfare to work to include transportation,

job training, improving employability skills, child care, and much more. The Program serves individuals with

disabilities including physical, mental and emotional, victims of domestic violence, individuals returning to

the work population after incarceration, and single parent families living below the poverty level. RAM has

a proven track record and continues to successfully operate this program having put over 1400 people to

work in stable, long term jobs. We have been very successful in assisting "hardest to serve" clients

embracing the philosophy in giving a "hand up" not a "hand out".

RAM currently manages several properties similar of comparable size to Promise in Brevard:

./ Evergreen Landing - 80 unit family community in Gastonia, NC which participates in NCHFA Key

Program to facilitate the inclusion of persons with disabilities and the homeless within LIHTC

properties . ./ Casa Matias - 80 unit family community with 60% special needs set aside leased up in 2012 .

./ Labre Place - 90 unit family community located in Miami, FL which has a 65% special needs set

aside. We leased up this community in 2012, provide comprehensive resident services on site .

./ Quiet Waters - 93 unit elderly apartment community located in Belle Glade, FL which has a 50%

Special Needs population. RAM leased up this community in 2009 and has had continued successful

management since that time serving this target population. Quiet Waters employs two full time

licensed social workers who provide daily services on site that RAM works with on a daily basis in

serving our residents.

RAM also manages a number of properties in Florida which have a 50% ELI Special Needs set aside

specifically including the type of population to be served at the Promise in Brevard development. As

residents age in place, RAM can offer additional experience and services time tested at existing property

we manage, including:

./ Legacy at Lehigh Acres -A congregate living facility which targeted homeless and disabled veterans

- leased up and managed for three years ./ Palm Cottages - An assisted living facility, including a secure facility for Alzheimer's patients.

Attachment 10

Promise in Brevard is designed to serve individuals with developmental disabilities. In serving this population, Promise has worked with its architects, contractor, and local government to come up with features that are in addition to the green building features listed under Exhibit D of the 2014-004 RFA that would promote energy efficiency, contributing to the occupant's health and conservation within the community. With this in mind we offer the following green and energy efficient features:

Green and energy efficient site design components:

1. Site design accommodates public bus transportation pick up and drop off; 2. Wide sidewalks, fully handicap accessible for pedestrian friendly travel to

adjacent public venues located within Ya mile of the site; 3. Reuse water for irrigation along with native zero-scape vegetation; 4. Preservation and nourishment of 12.47 acre wetland to offset heat island effect

from proposed parking area and buildings; 5. Shared retention and outfall of storm water system with Florida Department of

Transportation to minimize land surface area impact; 6. Mixed use conditional zoning to reduce offsite travel and secondary pollution; 7. Parking lot and driveway building materials using local materials and suppliers to

minimize transportation pollution; 8. Bicycle parking to encourage occupants to their use; 9. Electric car charging station and parking; 10. Preferred parking for multiple occupant vehicles; 11. LED energy efficient site lighting to provide needed security but not over light nor

pollute neighboring properties; 12. Waste Containers as required during the construction process to allow

separation of waste building materials for recycling; and 13. Recycled mulch around plants and in landscaping uses.

Buildings design components:

1. Use of building materials from local materials and suppliers to minimize transportation pollution.

2. Use of building materials from recycled materials for main building systems and building components.

3. Selection of roof materials and colors with high albedo for reflectivity. 4. Selection of products with high recycled content that were regionally produced,

rapidly renewable, and/or made from FSC certified wood. 5. Establishment of a construction waste management plan to divert waste from

landfills. 6. Careful construction practices optimizing Indoor Air Quality. 7. Natural shading with native trees to reduce heat load. 8. LED interior lighting components. 9. Solar panels to compliment pool and sauna heating system. 10. Skylights in ceilings to compliment lighting systems in public areas. 11. Increased wall and roof insulation

1

Attachment 10

12. C02 monitors and high quality ventilation system 13. Solar film on west exposure windows 14. Radiant Barrier roof sheathing 15. Occupancy controlled lighting 16. Daylight views available throughout 90% of building 17. Tankless hot water heaters 18. Utilizes noncombustible materials on the exterior of the building to reduce

potential fire threat from wildfires.

Development and long term operating costs compared to the benefit to the property and/or tenant:

Tankless water heaters have been shown by the Florida Energy Solar Center to reduce heating costs as much as 40% over traditional hot water heaters. Every Promise resident as well as the ongoing property operations will benefit from this system on a daily/monthly/yearly basis for the life of the heaters.

Radiant barrier roof sheeting blocks up to 97% of the radiant heat from entering a building cutting energy bills by up to 17%.

Impact to the energy efficiency of the property:

A 40% reduction in hot water heating costs compounded over 131 residents and staff offers significant savings to Promise in Brevard. Water reuse, reduction of the heat island affect, shared zero scape vegetation, shared retention and storm water system, as well as the other green and energy efficient items noted within this narrative will impact daily living and the energy needed to sustain the lives of the persons with developmental disabilities that will reside in this community.

Improvement to the tenant's health:

Promise has an MOU with Purple Cherry Architects, an architecture firm specialized in the creations of communities for persons with special needs. Through this agreement, Promise has identified specific guidance on healthy environments and product to avoid or monitor that persons with special needs are particularly susceptible to. A copy of this list from Purple Cherry Architects is provided as an exhibit to this narrative showing our commitment.

Studies have shown that natural daylight exposure may increase productivity and improve performance, both in the workplace and among students. The Florida Green Building Coalition recognizes Seven Principles of Healthy Homes, adopted by the National Center for Healthy Housing, that Promise in Brevard will use both in the construction of Promise in Brevard, but also on a continuing basis throughout the life of the community. These principles are:

2

Attachment 10

Dry - keeping units moisture content at minimum levels to keep conditions in the homes

unfavorable to mites, roaches, rodents, and molds, which are associated with asthma

and would negatively affect our residents health. Contamination Free - keeping chemical exposures from lead, radon, carbon

monoxide, and second hand smoke out of the Promise in Brevard community by

providing a smoke and contamination free environment for our residents. Ventilation - studies show that increasing fresh air supply in a home improves

respiratory health. Additional fresh air vents provide for new air to enter the community

improving residents health and welfare. Safe - many injuries happen in the home. Promise residents will be further protected

by emergency call stations and resident aids located on every floor of the community.

Clean - clean homes help reduce pest infestations and exposure to contaminants. Promise has committed to work with residents to partner them with services to provide

for basis daily living needs, including housekeeping.

Resource conservation:

Green standards go further than just energy efficiency and rating a building. The

Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) recognizes the "total environmental stewardship of

a project". Factors to Promise will take into consideration in the development of

Promise in Brevard include monitoring of the construction process to save on material

waste, impact on the land to prevent soil erosion by utilizing wetlands and minimal land

impact to reduce erosion, design to accommodate public transportation and other

options to use the least amount of energy to get from one place to another.

The Green Home Guide provided from the National Association of Homebuilders is a

regular tool used by general contractors to

Developer or General Contractor's experience implementing proposed features and amenities:

./ Minimized site disturbance during construction and reduces storm water impacts by providing on-site treatment.

./ Minimizes project impact on night sky illumination by the use of high efficiency and intelligently designed exterior lighting strategies .

./ Minimizes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through the proper selection of materials and finishes throughout the interior of the building ensuring a more healthy indoor air environment.

Attached is further confirmation of the general contractors experience in using green

and energy efficient features in construction.

Accessibility, Adaptability, Universal Design and Visitability

Promise in Brevard is committed to going beyond the required features described in Exhibit D when it comes to serving our target population, that being individuals with developmental disabilities. That is why we have partnered with Purple Cherry Architects, with principal-incharge Catherine Purple Cherry an AIA, LEED AP and Special Needs Architect. Purple Cherry Architects has extensive experience in creating accessible, creative, positive spaces for person with developmental disabilities. With over 19 publications, and over 19 projects for persons with special needs, Purple Cherry brings tested experience to the creation of the Promise in Brevard community for our families and residents.

Promise has executed a commitment with Purple Cherry for the design of Promise in Brevard. This commitment brings to light the specific accessibility, adaptability, design and visitability standards needed for our residents. The commitment is to create spaces that foster thoughtful learning and living environments that inspire creativity and individuality, while addressing the dynamic challenges that a persons with a disability must face on a daily basis. This partnership allows Promise in Brevard to be developed "outside of the box" and bring solutions that are individual-centered to our community. By evaluating relevant triggers and environmental issues for individuals with disabilities, Purple Cherry designs and addresses:

Personal and Social Space

Distraction inhibitors

Durability of Materials

Acoustics and Other Auditory Issues

Colors, Patterns and Tactile Issues

Outdoor Spaces that include security and independency issues

Technology and Multimedia Application.

This unique sensitivity and understanding is tested and successfully implemented in the projects that Purple Cherry has created. Their input to the Promise community with these same measures will also improve the tenant's health, safety, stability, independence and quality of life. This is done by eliminating or reducing toxic elements in development, implementation of physical safety elements, and developing spaces and spatial arrangements for individuals that support good choices, addressing unique behavioral issues. These measures continuously reinforce residents learning, growing, life, and vocational skills as has been proven in these projects.

Creative use of space can have far reaching implications for special needs populations. It is appropriate to question what other rooms and opportunities are being created. Outdoor gardens are created to reinforce landscape job training, even for those with physical difficulties. In the community building, both small and larger rooms are designed for development of social

Attachment 11

skills. Connecting residential buildings with specific corridors for access to the community building, amenities, training and social functions all for development of the greatest independence and quality of life. Many different social and learning opportunities further this independence. Accessibility, adaptability, design, and visitiability do not end upon the first drawing or concept. There are opportunities through the building and design process, at the initial steps of planning, during the assembling of the defined spaces, to the selection of the materials for the inside of the interior walls, to the outside of the exterior of the buildings, that when created well can support and elevate self esteem and continuously reinforce learning, growing, life and vocational skills to ultimate independence as defined by their abilities.

Every individual with disabilities has unique challenges that are best served by environments designed for the complexities of their specific disability. Understanding this enables us to support them through design and implementation of spaces that address these challenges. Reducing chaos and clutter and providing organizing systems helps persons with developmental disabilities focus. Eliminating annoyances such as mechanical noises, flickering lights, and active views helps reduce auditory and visual distractions, thus improving a tenant's health and stability, allowing them to feel safe, secure, confident and independent.

Attachment #12: Employment Services

Describe how residents of the proposed Development will have access, including how the employment services program will meet the comprehensive needs of the intended residents. Explain how the employment services program will provide the ongoing supports necessary to ensure the particpant's success in the workplace to obtain competitive jobs that anyone could have regardless of their

,....,. !'ro:m>elnlirc•l!.J." disability status. Identify the community patners that will comprise the employment services program and the role of each partner.

Describe the nature and extent of the relationship between each partner and the propose Development. Identify the lead entity that will act as the lead agency for the employment services program. Describe how the lead agency will coordinate the program's services, procedures and practices and work with the diverse systems each partner represents.

Research shows that a "developmental disability" has a greater potential to affect one's ability to work, live, socialize, and maintain self-sufficiency. Therefore, it has become increasingly important to make sure that the relevant support services are available to assist those with developmental disabilities in securing employment and that ongoing supports are in place to insure success. Promise is a firm believer that persons with developmental disabilities have greater potential to maintain meaningful employment if provided with the successful tools, training and support to do so.

To enhance the environment in which a person with a developmental disability lives and to lessen the many barriers that they encounter, Congress thought it essential to enact legislation - the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act to establish the Development Disabilities Councils in each state with primary goals of doing the following:

;, Promoting integration into work and community settings so that individuals with developmental disabilities are not separated or isolated from others;

7' Protecting individual rights; 7' Ensuring that persons with developmental disabilities have the accommodations

they need; and 7' Ensuring that persons with developmental disabilities have and maintain control

over their own resources

Along this same vein, Promise and its many partners understand the significance of applying effective tools and support for those with developmental disabilities to use in seeking meaningful employment. We also know that without a coalition of partners that agree to assist with vocational training and employment in addition to identifying integrated employment opportunities, successful employment would not be possible. Promise has engaged many partners that have agreed to provide vocational training and employment in an integrated setting. We strongly believe that ongoing supports are necessary to ensure the success of individuals with developmental disabilities in longterm successful and meaningful employment.

Numerous vocational training opportunities are planned through the Promise microenterprises to help the residents gain job skills that can be used to obtain employment either at the Promise micro-enterprises or in the community at large. Residents of Promise will be given direct access to these opportunities by an on-site Project



Coordinator in cooperation with the Brevard Business Leadership Network (Brevard BLN) in partnership with entities such as Heart to Heart, Inc., BRIDGES, Interventions UNLIMITED and other local providers. These partners have collectively committed to providing and coordinating vocational training and employment opportunities for Promise residents. Promise will be the lead agency and liaison that will serve as the nexus between the various partners and the residents of Promise in continuing to identify and secure additional opportunities for the residents of the community. These coordinating activities will depend upon the needs of the residents and the preferred training that will be most beneficial to the residents.

Below are the entities that will be involved with providing employment related services to Promise residents and their correlative commitments:

);;-- Promise Inc. - will provide support coordination with community partners

);;-- Brevard Business Leadership Network - will provide employment and supported employment services

);;-- Heart to Heart - will provide supported employment services

);;-- BRIDGES- will provide employment and supported employment services and other employment related services

);;-- Interventions UNLIMITED- will provide applied behavior analysis services to individuals with Autism and other developmental delays to help them become successful in the workplace

Promise residents will have access to services including career counseling, skillstraining, employment and supported opportunities as well as continuing education. It is envisioned that many of these activities will be provided on-site. However, this does not preclude residents from participating in activities off-site or locating employment off-site. Promise encourages those with developmental disabilities to integrate outside of settings that they are accustomed to. This is a part of the training and learning process which will assist them in excelling once employment is obtained.

Promise envisions the employment services program functioning as follows:

Employment Partnership Development

Assess Resident Needs and Determine Starting Point

Craft a tailored training plan based on Resident Assessment

Develop a Resource Continuity Support Plan

Promise FHFC Request for Applications Response

Resident Graduates from Employment Services Program

Graduate is Employed on or off-site

Evaluation

Page 2


Employment Services Development Promise has already partnered with various entities to provide ongoing employment training and other learning activities on and offsite. Promise will continue to pursue partnerships that will agree to provide additional trainings as needed and also entities that will agree to employ graduates of the training program that will be offered through Promise.

Resident Assessment: Recognizing that residents have various strengths and weaknesses when it comes to employment, Promise will have specially trained housing residents and certified professionals conduct an initial analysis of the resident to ascertain the resident's interests, needs, aspirations and the support system necessary to secure and maintain long term employment.

Crafting a Training Plan: The Project Coordinator in consultation with these relevant professionals will work together to develop a plan that maps out the types of trainings that will be necessary in order for the resident to be successful in obtaining and maintaining employment based upon their needs and desires.

Resource Continuity Support Plan: Each resident desiring to find employment will have a supportive services plan. This plan will be developed to supplement the employment training to ensure that Promise is providing the necessary services so that employment can be secured and maintained. This plan will be reviewed with the resident as various benchmarks in training have been achieved to ensure that the resident's employment goals have not changed and to target their strengths that have been identified during training.

Employment Services Program Graduation: Upon successful completion of the training plan and meeting the milestones within the training plan, the resident will graduate from the employment services program and will receive some type of recognition for successful completion.

Employment: In addition to employment opportunities that may be available through Promise micro-enterprises, employment opportunities will also be available through the Brevard BLN, Heart to Heart and BRIDGES. Residents will be able to use the experience gained at Promise micro-enterprises to seek employment opportunities throughout the community. Continued monitoring of the employment plan and supports needed for successful employment will give a checks and balances to employment with a goal of identifying barriers to success and address them as they surface.

Evaluation: Promise will collect data on the residents that have gone through the employment services program and secured employment on and off-site. Success of each resident will be measured as employment progresses.

To ensure long term successful employment, Promise will tap into its extensive volunteer base and provide specially trained volunteers to provide support to employees.

Attachment #13: Resident Services Best Practices

Describe any additional Best Practices in the area of resident services beyond those required in Exhibit D or described in a.

above. If the Applicant believes an approach is a Best Practice based on the definition of Best Practice in this RFA, explain why.

Florida Housing has defined "best practice" as a program, activity or strategy that has been field tested and has been shown to work effectively and produce successful outcomes and is supported by subjective and objective evaluation and research. Promise seeks to highlight three (3) best practices that it feels is unique to this project.

1.) On-site and offsite micro-enterprises consisting of various small businesses 2.) Resident Interns through partnership with the Florida Institute of Technology 3.) Health Wellness & Fitness Programs

Promise has a very comprehensive and progressive v1s1on with a primary goal of providing vocational training and employment in an integrated setting that will result in long-term employment for Promise residents and a wealth of opportunities for advancement after extensive training and on-the-job experience.

The Promise holistic concept consists of several businesses, activities and amenities that will serve to support the development of Premise's residents in addition to the services that will be provided by the partnering agencies. Promise envisions having onsite, or in close proximity, businesses that will serve as training sites and employment opportunities for its residents. These micro-enterprises will serve as a business incubators with primary purposes of supporting Promise residents - providing training and employment that will assist in developing self-sufficiency of persons with a developmental disability.

Promise strongly believe that persons with developmental disabilities have greater potential to maintain meaningful employment if provided with the successful tools, training and support to do so. One example of a proven strategy is Walgreens' Disability Inclusion Program. This program was initiated and implemented by Walgreens in 2007. Walgreens created a new foundation of systems, machines and processes universal design as well as on-site long term job coaching support. Subsequently, Walgreens worked with local agencies to train and attract people with disabilities for employment at the facility similar to what the Brevard BLN currently does. The company also created training for managers to help ensure an inclusive workplace for people with and without disabilities working side-by-side

As indicated earlier in the narrative, Promise will have on site training centers and jobsites for residents to access and gain the critical training and skills needed either to work on or off-site. These micro-enterprises are anticipated to consist of the following businesses and activities:



? Promise Treasures Thrift Shoppe - The 6, 100 sq. ft. site located in the Metro

West Shopping Center currently provides training and employment in the areas

of retail management and customer relations. It is home of the Promise Cafe

Mini and Promise U Life Enrichment Center. o Promise Cafe Mini - will serve as vocational training & employment

opportunity and generate revenue by serving food such as salads, wraps,

baked goods, drinks and other products. o Promise U Life Enrichment Center - will provide a room for life skills

training and life enrichment classes such as art and music along with fitness classes

? Promise Hydroponic Garden & Nursery - residents will be exposed to

agriculture by growing vegetables and flowers that will be sold through various

retail outlets as well as being used on-site in the Promise cafeteria.

? Promise Farmers' Market - Promise anticipates purchasing a food truck that

will be set up in various locations and taken to community events selling produce

and plants grown by Promise residents to the community at large - which will serve as a revenue generating activity and provide employment opportunities to

our residents.

,._ Disability Friendly Hair & Nail Salon - Promise has partnered with Imperial

Nail Salon and Spa and the Salon Professional Academy (TSPA) to develop a

business plan that will allow for an on-site hair and nail salon that will be open to

the general public and cater to the elderly population and individuals with

disabilities that require special accommodations. This will be the first salon of its

kind in Brevard County. Promise residents will help staff the salon and provide

the extra TLC that this population deserves. This will also serve as a training

opportunity for students of the TSPA and will give them hands-on-experience

with the special needs population.

? Onsite Culinarv Arts Training Program - Promise anticipates providing a

certificate program in collaboration with area colleges, local restaurants and

hotels in the area of culinary arts that will instruct residents on how to successfully prepare meals and how to excel in the culinary arts and hospitality

arena. Those residents seeking jobs outside of the Promise community in the

area of hospitality or culinary arts will gain the requisite training that will assist

them in securing and maintaining meaningful employment. Area Chefs will be

invited to assist with the content and design of this program. Promise has

already built relationships with local entities to assist with this effort including the

Pizza Gallery & Grill, Yellow Dog Cafe, Eastern Florida State College and Keiser

University.

Another creative aspect of this proposal is the fact that Promise has an MOU with the

Florida Institute of Technology (FIT), a private university within miles of the Promise

site. Promise has agreed to offer internships and practicum opportunities for FIT



undergraduate and graduate students that agree to provide resident assistance in the

areas of life skills training, counseling and teaching. It is expected that chosen F.l.T.

interns will stay on-site for a certain period of time and provide mentoring in a mutual

transformational process through their knowledge, talent and expertise in the areas of

special needs and special education to the residents of Promise. This will serve as

research and hands on training that will support the studies that F.l.T. students will be

conducting while being a resident assistant. This aspect of our Best Practices benefits

both the resident and resident assistant, while helping to train a pool of educated

professionals to venture out into the community to offer services targeted to meeting

those with special needs.

As it relates to health and wellness and fitness, Promise, through its Hydroponic Garden

and Nursery, will grow on-site healthy fruits and vegetables that will be part of an

optional meal program offered on site for residents. Research conducted by the

National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) indicates that

individuals with developmental disabilities are 50% more likely to be diagnosed with

obesity, diabetes, heart disease and epilepsy which results in additional nutritional

concerns. Intervention programs focusing on "diet" and the "nutritional intake" of

persons with developmental disabilities were successful in improving the quality of life

and dietary patterns as well as reducing the rate of serious secondary medical

conditions. This same data suggests that improving access to and consumption of

healthier foods could help lower the risks for developing chronic diseases and obesity.

Promise will also have an activities coordinator who will oversee a number of nutritional,

fitness and social programs both on and off site.

Research shows that employment is a critical component of community living for most

adults, including people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Work is not

only the means to economic self-sufficiency. It is also is an important way for

individuals to contribute to their communities, build a network of social relationships,

and create opportunities for lifelong learning. According to the January 2011 Current

Population Survey (CPS), the proportion of the population of persons with disabilities

who are employed is estimated to be 17 percent, compared to 63 percent for people

without disabilities. And, for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities,

the likelihood of participating in integrated employment is even lower. Promise's concept

seeks to improve the quality of life for those persons with developmental disabilities by

providing an environment that fosters the following which have proven to be successful,

contributing factors:

)r High expectations and supportive family and community )r Person-centered thinking and self-determination )r Welcoming employers )r Flexible support system

Promise believes that the above factors will serve as a great recipe for success for the

Promise residents, have lasting impact on our Brevard community and serve as a model

for other communities around the state and country.

Attachment #14: Community-Based Services and Amenities

Describe the community-based services and amenities that will be accessible to residents, such as shopping for groceries, medicine, clothing, and other household and personal items. Include other services and amenities such as public schools, higher education, training and employment. Describe the public and/or private transportation options that will be available to residents of the proposed Development to ensure access to the described services and amenities.

Three issues are of fundamental importance in obtaining access to community-based services and amenities for individuals with disabilities: (a) transportation, (b) knowledge of what is available, and (c) acceptance and accommodation of individuals with developmental disabilities by the community. Addressing these requires identifying and coordinating resources, establishing relationships in the community, and educating the public as to the needs and capabilities of individuals with developmental disabilities and the value they add to their community.

As it relates to transportation challenges, Promise addresses these through both its choice of location and by facilitating access to public and private transportation. Promise is located 1/4 mile from the Palms Crossing and the Hammock Landings Shopping Plazas in West Melbourne. Palms Crossing has over twenty (20) businesses including Publix, Pet Supermarket and Coastal Dental. Hammock Landings is home to over forty (40) retail stores and restaurants as well as a movie theatre. These include a Target, Dentaland, Marshalls, Michaels Arts & Crafts Store, Kohl's, Sprint, Dollar Tree, Petco, Panera, Family Christian Bookstore and Carmike Cinema.

A side-walk exists from the property site to both shopping plazas and is accessible to individuals who use wheelchairs. Thus, residents will have a number of grocery, medicine, clothing, household, dining, entertainment and even employment opportunities within easy walking distance to their neighborhood. Promise is also within 3 miles of the Palm Bay Medical Clinic, Space Coast Medicine and Medical Associates of Brevard. These services will be accessible to the residents through the various transportation methods described below.

To access services and amenities beyond the immediate area, Promise is located on a public bus route offering access to transportation throughout many areas of Brevard County and specifically the City of West Melbourne by Space Coast Area Transit (SCAT). Once certificates of occupancy are issued, Promise will work with SCAT to provide a bus stop directly at the entrance to Promise in Brevard. For residents who are unable to use public transportation, Promise will facilitate access to on-demand transportation services which are also provided through SCAT which is the community transportation coordinator for the local Transportation Disadvantaged Program. Promise will also coordinate transportation that will be offered by its community partners and volunteers. Residents will also access transportation provided by family members and friends. Promise will provide some transportation directly. It will purchase a van that will be available to supplement the transportation resources described above. Additionally, Promise will engage in aggressive fundraising and seek sponsors to purchase or arrange additional transportation opportunities.



Promise has done a great deal of preparatory work with local businesses, civic

organizations, educational institutions and local governments. Through these efforts,

Promise has identified numerous community services and amenities that will be

available to residents. Promise has also made considerable progress in educating these

organizations on the needs and capabilities of individuals with developmental disabilities

and the value they bring to the community. These efforts are necessary to foster

understanding, accommodation and acceptance of individuals with developmental

disabilities in community life.

This includes an aggressive outreach effort to area businesses. As a result, most

businesses in the surrounding neighborhood are familiar with Promise's concept and

are supportive. Some of the agencies and businesses in the area have even executed

MOUs with Promise to provide services directly to the Promise development or provide

access to services at the actual business site.

Additionally, the Promise Inc. Employment Agency is working to solicit the participation

of businesses in its employment services program. The idea is for businesses to offer

Promise residents employment after graduating from the vocational training program.

This concept will lead to successful integration of Promise's residents into competitive,

mainstream work environments.

The Executive Director of Promise also manages the Brevard Business Leadership

Network (Brevard BLN). The Brevard BLN, established under the auspices of the ABLE

Trust of Florida, was created by the state of Florida to promote employment of

individuals with disabilities. The Brevard BLN works hands-on with the business

community and individuals with disabilities to link employers to qualified workers with

disabilities. As such, Promise has knowledge of and experience working with the local

workforce board, the business community and with public and private programs that

offer employment related supports and services.

Likewise, Promise has an ongoing relationship with The Florida Institute for Technology

(F.l.T.). Through this partnership, residents will have access to a number of on the job

training opportunities, treatment, social and extra-curricular opportunities offered by the

university. This is important because many residents may be losing access to supports,

services and extra-curricular activities provided by the public school system because

they may be approaching their 22nd birthday pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities

Education Act. This relationship will be a valuable resource for residents aging out of

the school system to ensure that they do not lose valuable skills they have obtained

through the public school system. Also, some individuals with developmental disabilities

are able to benefit from post-secondary educational opportunities and need additional

training to achieve their goals.

Promise has a partnership with the local Parks and Recreation Department. This will

allow Promise residents access to an entire array of recreational opportunities and other

self-improvement services designed for individuals with disabilities. This partnership

provides for residents to engage in physical activities that will promote their health and



wellness. It will also bring individuals with and without disabilities together in a fun, family-oriented environment which will foster understanding and acceptance.

Education outreach tools are available through Promise to assist parents of young adults with developmental disabilities with obtaining services such as speech therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy. Promise also sponsors social activities such as parties, movie outings and beach activities that will promote community involvement and socialization.

Finally, Promise has actively worked with local churches to ensure that residents will have an outlet for spiritual growth as well as the access to social gatherings and personal support they offer. Churches have long been an important source of informal personal support for individuals with disabilities and it is a priority that residents have access to a church if they so desire. Promise already has a number of working agreements in place whereby the church pledges to accept residents as full members of the congregation with full access to all opportunities offered by the church. Promise will add additional agreements based on resident interest and will facilitate voluntary resident participation regardless of faith or denomination.

Promise recognizes that there is a huge difference between simply living in the community and actually having a life as a valued member of the community. The quality of life that all individuals desire, regardless of disability status, requires freedom to make choices, the ability to form mutually beneficial relationships, a stable home environment and economic empowerment. These require more than professional, paid supports and services. They also require interaction with the larger community, access to education and training, and developing genuine friendships.

Outreach efforts have sought to identify these opportunities and open the door for Promise residents to take advantage of them. Clearly, the first priority in serving individuals with developmental disabilities is protecting their health and safety. Promise, however, fully intends to go the extra mile by identifying and facilitating resident access to educational, vocational, recreational and social opportunities in the community. Residents will have the quality of life that all human beings desire as contributing members of their community.

"The City of West Melbourne is very much appreciative and supportive of the good work of

Promise in Brevard," said WM City Manager Scott Morgan. "We are working with Promise to

help bring much needed housing for persons with special needs to our community, as well as

partnering to develop vocational opportunities for persons with special needs at the West

Melbourne Community Park."

"We look forward to our housing and vocational partnerships serving as models that other

communities can replicate," Morgan said, "and are very much anticipating the day when West

Melbourne becomes the hometown and workplace for people with special needs living up to

their full God-given potential." WM City Manager Scott Morgan

Attachment 14

This memorandum of understanding will serve as verification that the residents of Promise will be welcomed into our congregation with full access to fellowship, social support and self-improvement activities that are available to the members of our congregation. We will also facilitate opportunities for our congregation to volunteer to provide services to the residents of Promise. Likewise, we will facilitate opportunities for the residents of Promise to serve as volunteers themselves. In so doing our goal is to bring joy, comfort and a sense of belonging to the residents of Promise and to promote acceptance and inclusion of individuals with disabilities as valued members of our church community.

Attachment #15: Community-Based Resources and Services

Describe access to community-based resources and services to address the specific healthcare and/or supportive services needs of each intended resident as described in Section Four, A. 1. Describe the public and/or private transportation options that will be available to residents of the proposed Development to ensure access to the described resources and services.

The future residents of Promise will have varying healthcare and supportive services

needs. Promise is committed to inclusion and integration of our residents and has built a

coalition of community supporters that have agreed to provide that opportunity. As

mentioned under the previous attachments, Promise's unique partnership with the

Florida Institute of Technology (F.1.T.) will provide opportunities for their students

enrolled in Psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis programs to have hands-on

experience with our residents with special needs. The Scott Center for Autism

Treatment at F.l.T. will provide treatment, training, and applied research for those with

autism and related disabilities.

FIT students will serve as housing resident assistants to help Promise residents with

daily living skills and to become independent, engaged, well-adjusted contributing

members of the community through our social mentoring program. This approach allows

mentors and residents to develop genuine friendships and engage in a mutual

transformational process. Mentors will assist residents in the integration within the F.l.T.

campus by participating in athletic games, student organizations and clubs. F.l.T. will

also offer Promise residents the opportunity to participate in and audit classes and

activities offered on the F.l.T. campus. This partnership provides inclusion in our local

community and an opportunity for Promise residents to become independent, lifelong

learners who are connected to their community.

Promise has access to several referral and support agencies because of its

longstanding history with working with persons with developmental disabilities. In

addition to the partnership with F.1.T., other partners that have agreed to provide

services to Promise residents and staffs are as follows:

Y Chapel Haven - will provide training to Promise staff and partners in areas of life

skills coaching, health & wellness, college readiness and residential transition

programs for adults based on their nationally recognized innovative support

programs for adults developmental disabilities

Y Interventions Unlimited - offers individualized and group programs providing

specialized instruction to individuals with developmental disabilities and other behavioral and learning disabilities

Y Turnguest Resource Center -houses the Family Self-Sufficiency Programs and

includes resources such as a computer lab and classes in various "life skills"

including computer proficiency, nutrition, managing money and home ownership



);;- Brevard County Family Partnership - provides administrative oversight for

Promise in the areas of finance, IT, human resources, public relations, grant

writing and service coordination for young adults aging out of foster care

);;- City of West Melbourne - provides financial support for the project in addition to

resources necessary to establish the new West Melbourne Community Park,

which will be a family-oriented park centered around the unique needs of the

community and home to the Promise Cafe and Bakery

);;- Brevard County Public Housing Authority - has pledged at least 50 project

based vouchers to support potential residents that will reside in this development

as well as the willingness to designate units as "public housing" units to help serve

the residents that have the greatest needs

Although the list above is not all inclusive of all of the support for this project, it does

demonstrate that Promise has pulled together a team that is committed to ensuring that

this project comes to fruition and is successful once completed. Promise has a

voluminous amount of support for this development because the supporters recognize

the need for affordable housing for persons with developmental disabilities and the

urgency in providing the necessary support and access to essential services that allow

Promise residents to enhance their decision-making skills through self-determination

and to have the quality life they desire.

Promise residents will have direct access to the resources necessary to satisfy any of

their healthcare related needs. The Brevard Health Alliance (BHA) and Space Coast

Volunteers in Medicine are two of the major entities that will assist in providing

healthcare related resources to residents. The services offered by the Brevard Health

Alliance include the following:

);;- Family Medicine );;- Internal Medicine );;- Pediatrics );;- Behavioral Health (Adult and Children) );;- Dental Services (Adult and Children) );;- Case Management Services );;- Medication Assistance

Promise residents will have access to many of the services mentioned above. Also,

what is unique about the BHA is the fact that they have a Mobile Health Unit that will

provide services to citizens at various soup kitchens, transitional housing locations and

church locations throughout Brevard County. The goal of the BHA Mobile Health Unit is

to provide professional medical care to Brevard's residents where they are - on the

streets, in shelters, at soup kitchens and at drop-in centers. This Mobile Health Unit will

be able to provide services on site at the Promise development as well.



The Space Coast Volunteers in Medicine provides free medical, dental and

chiropractic services to Brevard County residents. Services provided by Space Coast

will be leveraged with the services provided by the BHA to ensure that all healthcare

needs of Promise residents are covered. MOUs for each of these partners are provided

as exhibits to this Attachment.

As has already been previously described in Attachment 14, Promise addresses the

needs of its residents for transportation through both its choice of location and by

facilitating access to public transportation. Promise is located 1/4 mile from the

Hammock Landings and Palms Crossing Shopping Plazas in West Melbourne. A side

walk exists from the property site to the shopping plazas and is accessible to individuals

who use wheelchairs. Thus, residents will have a number of medical, shopping, dining,

entertainment and even employment opportunities within easy walking distance in their

neighborhood.

To access services and amenities beyond the immediate area, Promise is located on a

Space Coast Area Transit (SCAT) public bus route offering access to transportation

throughout Melbourne. For individuals who are unable to use public transportation,

Promise will facilitate access to numerous options for services provided through the

local Transportation Disadvantaged Program, transportation that will be offered by its

community partners and volunteers as well as transportation provided by family

members and friends. Additionally, Promise will provide transportation directly for the

residents.

Services provided by Promise and through the various established partnerships will

spawn many opportunities for the Promise residents and will significantly improve their

quality of life. Although Promise has support within the community both financially and

in-kind, it will continue to seek out new ventures and avenues that will provide additional

resources and support for this development. This is our mission and commitment to our

residents and their families. The choice to live in the Promise in Brevard community will

significantly improve our residents' independent living skills, providing them with a

successful and fulfilling life within the community.

Attachment #16: Best Practices for Community-Based Services and Amenities

Describe Best Practices not described above that will be implemented by the Applicant that have been found to promote and facilitate residents' full inclusion in their community. Best Practices that support inclusion must be shown to work effectively and must meet the definition provided in this RFA. This may include how the intended residents will be encouraged to take part in the life of their neighborhoods and communities; e.g., programs or services related to volunteerism, recreation, social activities, education, life skills training and employment.

Promise will offer or facilitate access to a number of opportunities that will encourage residents to take part in the life of their community to facilitate full inclusion. These include recreational opportunities, social activities, educational services, life skills training, and employment support resources in addition to those discussed in other sections of this application.

Promise has entered into a partnership with the City of West Melbourne to establish the new West Melbourne Community Park. This family-oriented park will be located in the center of the city and designed to address the unique needs of the community. Due to its central location and state-of-the-art design and amenities, it is anticipated to become a popular gathering place and important venue for recreational and social activities in West Melbourne. The park will feature an accessible playground, an open area for festivals, a state-of-the-art skate park, an amphitheater and a splash park. Its accessibility features and universal design will provide a venue where individuals with and without disabilities will come together in a fun environment. Research shows that personal interaction between individuals with and without disabilities results in greater understanding and acceptance of individuals with developmental disabilities in the community.

The West Melbourne Community Park will also be home to a "Field of Dreams", a sports facility that is designed with built-in accommodations for individuals with disabilities. It allows individuals with all types of disabilities to participate in and benefit from the health benefits of athletic competition. Specifically, it will provide accessible baseball and soccer fields and basketball courts. It is well documented that a disproportionate percentage of individuals with developmental disabilities lead sedentary lifestyles which often results in poor health outcomes. The opportunity to participate in athletic competition and engage in outdoor activities that will be provided by the park will help engage residents in increasing their levels of physical activity.

As a part of Promise's health and wellness and life enrichment focus, Promise will have an Activities Director that will develop a well rounded calendar of physical and social activities that residents can be involved both on and off the campus such as, but not limited to, bowling, Zumba,Tae Kwon Do, dance and water aerobics classes. We will also have a wide variety of life skills and life enrichment classes to help our residents become independent as possible. Promise has developed a relationship with Special Olympics because it believes in the mission of the Special Olympics Project UNIFY which is an education-based program that uses the sports and education initiatives of Special Olympics to activate youth to promote school communities where all young



people are agents of change - fostering respect, dignity and advocacy for people with intellectual disabilities. Research has shown that Special Olympics local programming can contribute to eradicating the social and environmental walls to inclusion. Promise's entire concept encapsulates inclusion as opposed to exclusion which will be promoted through integrated, interactive programming through the activities and support services that will be provided through Promise and its coalition of community partners.

The West Melbourne Community Park will be the site of the Promise Cafe and Bakery. This micro-enterprise, sponsored by Promise, will be centrally located in the park and will be open to the general public. It will not only provide employment for Promise residents but also vocational and culinary arts training. Research clearly establishes that the most effective vocational training programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities involve on-the-job training.

The Turnquest Center, a joint project of the Housing Authority of Brevard County and the Melbourne Housing Authority, will also become an important resource for Promise residents. This Turnquest Center houses the Family Self-Sufficiency Programs and includes resources such as a computer lab and classes in various life skills, including computer proficiency, nutrition, managing money and home ownership. The Turnquest Center also offers assistance in preparing for and finding employment through a partnership with the local workforce board. Other partners include Action Youth Mentoring, Goodwill Industries of Central Florida, Inc., University of Florida-IFAS Extension, Project Response and 2-1-1 Brevard. Promise has a longstanding relationship with the local housing authorities and will coordinate resident access to the services available through the center.

Promise will facilitate resident access to the Best Buddies program through its agreement with the Florida Institute of Technology. Best Buddies is an international, nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Best Buddies volunteers annually contribute, at no cost to their communities, support services worth more than $168 million.

As a result of their involvement with Best Buddies, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are assisted to secure rewarding jobs, live on their own, become inspirational leaders, and make lifelong friendships. Program evaluations support these beneficial effects and verify that these interactions promote understanding, acceptance and appreciation of individuals with developmental disabilities among young people without disabilities.

While Promise aggressively identifies and develops volunteer resources to serve its residents, it will also encourage residents to be volunteers themselves. As such, Promise has a relationship with the Children's Hunger Project that will utilize residents as volunteers. The Children's Hunger Project provides weekend food backpacks to ensure that low income children do not experience hunger and malnutrition.



In addition, our MOU with local churches specifies that residents will be welcomed into

their congregations with full access to fellowship, social support and self-improvement

activities that are available to the members of their congregation. Residents will also be

given opportunities to volunteer to support church-sponsored charities. Plans are also in

place to develop additional volunteer opportunities, including the local Meals on Wheels

program that provides home delivered meals to older individuals.

According to the Corporation for National and Community Service which oversees the

AmeriCorps program, there is a growing body of research that documents both health

and social benefits accruing to individuals that volunteer to help others. The findings

show that those who volunteer have lower mortality rates, greater functional ability, and

lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer.

Promise will also have an Equine Center with a riding arena that will open to the public.

We will also partner with area Hippo Therapy programs to establish a therapeutic riding

program that will be another volunteer opportunity for Promise residents.

Promise is also committed to address the need for Special Needs emergency shelters

in Brevard County and has developed a relationship with the Bureau of Preparedness &

Response to ensure that the Promise in Brevard Community Building meets FEMA

standards.

"One of the goals of my office is to work with County officials, community organizations,

and the Department of Health to increase the community availability and capacity of our

Special Needs shelters. We have to begin to work with all of our stakeholders, looking

"outside the box" at newer, more community based shelter alternatives. New

partnerships are the best way to bring this about. Promise has come forward to actively

work towards this goal"

Bryan F. Vaughan, MS, BCTS Statewide Disability Coordinator Bureau of Preparedness & Response Florida Department of Health Florida Division of Emergency Management

Promise is committed to provide a wide range of integrated activities to our residents

that will provide opportunities for personal growth and a life full of opportunities and

freedom never thought possible.


Faith Based Outreach Memorandum of Understanding

October 29, 2013

Attachment 16

This memorandum of understanding will serve as verification that the residents of Promise will be welcomed into our congregation with full access to fellowship, social support and self-improvement activities that are available to the members of our congregation. We will

also facilitate opportunities for our congregation to volunteer to provide services to the residents of Promise. Likewise, we will facilitate opportunities for the residents of Promise to serve as volunteers themselves. In so doing our goal is to bring joy, comfort and a sense of belonging to the residents of Promise and to promote acceptance and inclusion of individuals with disabilities as valued members of our church community.
