The racial and economic isolation in Santa Monica public housing follows pattems document- ed by HUD in the 1995 report titled -"The Location and Racial Composition of Public Housing in the United States." Most recently, the Rand Corporation's City of Santa Monica Community Profile offers further documentation of economic and racial isolation that bolster the HUD find- ings, Finally, this document itself, the Draft Proposed Consolidated Plan, has confirming data. Over the past 18 years the City has directly participated in developing some 500+ multi-family low income housing units in the Pico neighborhood. The Pico neighborhood (zip/90404 & some of 90401) is comprised of the only low income census tracts in the city of Santa Monica. No neighborhood has the quantity or homogenous type of assisted housing that the Pico neighborhood has. All units in the Pico neighborhood are deed restricted very low income or low income family rentals. NONE are for moderate income, NONE are singles, NONE for the handicapped, NONE for ownership, only 2 units for seniors. The majority of these tenants are racial minorities (African American & Latino).The other Santa Monica neigh- bonc~ods have ~everse ~r s~bstantially differ~nt statistics. The majori+;~ of that assisted hous- ing is for seniors or singles and the majority of the tenants are caucasian. In others words Santa Monica has developed government assisted low income, minority filled family housing in low income minority areas and senior or single, caucasian filled housing in the higher income caucasian neighborhoods. The City of Santa Monica uses federal dollars to finance this development practice. A few out-takes from the HUD and Rand reports are instructive: HUd 1995 report titled -"The Location and Racial Composition of Public Housing in the United States." concludes... "The principal finding of this report is that the majority of African-Americans living in public housing projects in the US are living in poverty-concentrated areas, while the majority of public housing white tenants - both family and elderly - are living in neighborhoods with substantially lower poverty rates. The data confirm that African-American residents living in family projects are housed in segregated projects in severely poor neighborhoods. Elderly pro- jects and their residents fare better in that the degree of racial and economic isolation is less pronounced. The sharpness of this difference is recorded in regression findings indicating the powerful importance of project type - family or elderly - in determining its racial and economic isolation. Understanding why and under what conditions local patterns of racial con- centration exist is essential information for appreciating the need for fair housing anti-discrimination practices and the need for Fed, State, & local gov'ts to address patterns of racial and economic isolation of residents. " Rand March 2000 report titled -"City of Santa Monica Cammunity Profile." excerpts.... RACE p.18-21 "4% of the total population of Santa Monica is African American" "16% of the total population of Santa Monica is Latino" "71 % of the total population of Santa Monica is White" "Race and ethnic groups are concentrated in different neighborhoods, with African American and Latinos concentrated in the 90404 zip code ....88% of African American live in the 90404 & 90405 areas.....86% of Latinos live in 90404 & 90405 areas." INCOME p.34-35 "According to the United Way, the median household income for all house- hoid sizas i~~ Sarta ~J~~nica in 1998 was $48,934 - greater than that of California ($40,522) or the nation (38,885).... There is substantial variation, however, in the median income by neighborhood. Both the 90401 and 90404 areas have median incomes which are lower than the state and national medians."

We wil! close our of~ices at 3004 Santa Monica Blvd immediately after Jurte 30, 2000. As stated in the proposed funding recommendation letter received lune 5, 2U00, DRS is funded though LA County DRPA funds and lf persons from Santa Monica call requesting service we will make every attempt to assist them from our powntowa location. The limited funding and lack of resources is understandable and we fully understand the funding priorities for after school programs and youth services. As Director of Operations and as someone who has baen instrumental in re-organizing DRS, I feel we were making ciear and measurable headway in becoming an identifiable service and developing a presence for the Community of Sania Monica. 1 dare say how ironic, just this week we received two calls from SM PD regarding speaking engagements to groups and ot~icers from l,t. Pasqual Guido and Lt. Padia wanting PD cards for distribution. The City Atty. referrals are up and individual self- referrais have increased. Funding is clearly an issue for all cities and non-profit agencies. For Cities finding the revenue, for agencies maintaining funding at a level to provide quality service and maintain qualified staf~'to support the program. But after 13+ years in Santa Monica offering Community Mediation, there is a since of toss fot DRS and there will be a loss for SM residents. This letter is noi the ot~icial response to the funding recommendation letter which will be written by Neal Backer but my own personai response to you and Julie who have both gone beyond the line of duty to assist DRS during the last few years. ~; . - : . - .._ -~~ ~ .. ; The meeting you have requested with School personnel and DRS and Youth seivices staff is egreeable with me. I plan to convene a meeting with Police Chief Butts and his staff and the City Attorney and his stat~` who have heen onr identified referral organizations in the City before the end of the month. We will make every effart to assist in a smooth transition to identify the housing and tenant/landlord legel services as a resource for dispute referrals. I personally want to thank you for working with us during the - turbulent lsst two years. We will continue to maintain our quslity youth mediation programs in John Adams end in Lincoln Middle school. I look forward W speaking with you and confirming a date for our meeting.

For the past ten or eleven years, I have been a member of the Board of Directors of the Venice Family Clinic, and currently serve as Secretary of the Board. Over the years, my firm has developed a very special relationship with the Venice Family Clinic, and our employees undertake several campaigns each year to raise money and in-kind donations for the Clinic's patients. We are therefore particularly pleased to see that the Community Development Plan recognizes the need for expanded access to healthcare for 5anta Monica residents who would otherwise be deprived of healthcare. We are particularly supportive of the recommended funding the Venice Family Clinic in order to provide primary healthcare and to improve the facilities at the Burke Health Center in Santa Monica. Such funding will permit us to expand our services for residents of Santa Monica. „f~-~f~-.,f~ Ms. Julie Rusk ,7i~na .5; ?nnn Page 2 While most of our community, state and country are enjoying unprecedented prosperity, there is a significant and growing number of wurking poor and homeless who are being left far behind.

Davitl Mderson I was told that the recommended funding levels in the proposed budget came about Paul Ballmer Megan Davfdson because the City Manager's office asked for flat funding, i.e., funding agencies at Richard T. Oavis the same level as was recommended three years ago in the previous budget process. Norm Ellis Tf so, then it would appear that this year's process didn't take into consideration the Juliet Gazey ~,o new facilities that Upward Bound has brought on-line in the past three years, Tessa Kaganofl CS Famil Place and Senior Villa.

Jane Spiegel, MD. MPH Ka~e Summers, MSW Flat funding would also explain the very lar~e disparity I see between Paul Wexler l recommended funding for Upward Bound and the other social service agencies in lan Young A town. In stark contrast to Upward Bound's $10,000 are the recommendations for others in the proposed Community Development Plan, e.g., $873,41U to Ocean Park Community Center, $590,099 to Salvation Artny, $196,026 to Step Up on Second and $310,286 to Chrysalis, among others. Even several agencies outside City limits faired considerably better -$395,820 to Venice Family Clinic and $321,958 to St. Joseph Center, for example. 1008 Eleventh Street, Santa Monica, CA 9a403 • Phone (310) 458-7779 • Fax (310) 458-7289 E-maiL• UpwardBndHQaoLcom • Web Site: ubhsanta-monica.vrg Upward Bound House p.2 Upward Bound's request of $90,000 in consideration from the City accurately reflects the gap we see in our operating costs this coming year and again in the next. This gap came about for several reasons. Coming off of two back to back capital campaigns we have exhausted many of our financial supporters (individuals and foundations) for the time being. The good news is that these capital drives enabled Upward Bound to successfully develop 194 beds of badly needed housing with services - 54 beds for homeless families (within Family Place, the onlv transitional housing facility in Santa Monica for homeless families) and 140 beds in affordable housing for seniors (our newly opened Senior Villa.) In addition to temporarily exhausting our individual and foundation donors, we are also feeline the pinch from other govemment funding sources outside the City. As you well know, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority is trying to implement a 62% cut in I-IUD funding for the greater Westside azea, critical money for supportive housing projects like our Family Place. The Federal Emergency Shelter Grant program allocation for Santa Monica has been cut by $65,0~0 for the next two years (which will hurt both OPCC and Upward Bound) and Upward Bound lost out this year on State funding through the Emergency Housing and Assistance Program. Our request was accurate based on our projected situation - a best guess as we will continue our fundraising efforts. However, it now appears that cuts in our request will affect services and security - which would be a shame as Upward Bound and its community of supporters have fought the good fight for seniors and children, two of the priority populations identified in the Community Voices report. We have successfully developed facilities and services and fought to place them in an area (North of Wilshire on 11'h and 12th) where they weren't exactly welcomed. Since its opening in 1997, Family Place has provided shelter and services to seventy-two families. Broken down, that translates into 75 adults and 132 minor children. Because of our fundraising efforts most of those families lived rent-free and were able to save their earnings far permanent housing. And we are not done yet. in ciosing I want to ihanic you for your time and re-consideration of Upward Bound House's original $90,000 request in the upcoming budget.

This is great news. All five of the programs being recommended: Enlace Familiar, Marine Park Child Development Center, Pine Street Child Development Center, Santa Monica High School Alliance and Cliff's Cafe at Olympic, are instrumental in our efforts to ensure that all students experience success. These programs also demonstrate the breadth of our partnership with the City of Santa Monica.
