Provide the narrative in paragraph form in the text field provided. Please be thorough but strive for brevity. 1. Briefly describe your organization’s history, mission and goals. The City, incorporated on February 17, 1920, is located in the southeastern portion of Maricopa County, and encompasses approximately 65 square miles. Chandler has been an innovative community shaped by entrepreneurs and hometown traditions since being founded by Dr. AJ. Chandler as one of Arizona’s first master-planned communities in 1912. A legacy of Chandler families and business enterprises has established a foundation for our community to build upon. Their commitment to the pursuit of opportunity and advancement of the community combined with decades of thoughtful, consistent planning and investments have transformed Chandler into the Community of Innovation we know today. Chandler is the fourth largest city in Arizona and is one of several major cities comprising the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, which is the economic, political, and population center of the State of Arizona. The City of Chandler’s continued goal is to provide the highest quality services to the community in the most cost-effective manner. These services include Public Safety: Police and Fire; Community Services: Park and Recreation and Libraries; Cultural Development: Center for the Arts and Museum; Public Works: Streets and Traffic; Utilities: Water, Wastewater, Reclaimed Water and Solid Waste; Neighborhood Resources; Development Services; Airport; Tax and Licensing and numerous internal services. Our Mission is that we are committed to serve Chandler's citizens through teamwork, understanding and dedication in a professional and responsive manner. Our Vision, to make Chandler a world-class city by delivering outstanding public services, creating a unique community. Chandler’s quality of life is consistently recognized nationally among the safest and most prosperous communities. 2. To determine eligibility for this grant, if the applying organization is non-municipal or non-profit, please describe your relationship with the supporting municipality including past and present support (partnerships, collaborations, in-kind contributions, grants, tax-based funding, etc.). Describe the supporting municipality's role in this project. If the applying organization is a municipality or a municipal sub-division please enter the text “Not applicable” and go to item 3. Not Applicable Gila River Indian Community Grant Application Grant Cycle 2023 3. Describe the proposed project, objectives, and your plan to implement. We are requesting replacement of all 3 of our vehicles, which are 15+ years old that are used to transport our youth participants from their home sites to off site activities such as computer lab, field trips, library reading programs and general break programing. All Vechicles are reaching the end of their useful life, facing many maintenance issues and are at an extremely high risk of failure. We have one 15 passenger van that we would like to upgrade to something more modern and safe and 2 15 passenger buses that we can no longer source manufacturer parts for when needing repairs. Seatbelts are no longer supported by the manufacturer, causing us to have to retro fit lap belts in these vehicles. This presents challenges and can incur very costly maintenance fees. Windows for the vehicles are also obsolete and if any more are damaged it will render the entire vehicle unusable. 4. Describe how the proposed project satisfies one or more of the priority funding areas identified by the Gila River Indian Community. Transportation is a critical component of our housing programs and the priority funding area covered. We would be ensuring we can continue providing transportation in our programs and operate to our full capacity. We work in collaboration with local partners and having exposure in different areas of the city and community events is imperitive to the success of our program. 5. Identify the needs/problems to be addressed, target population and number of people to be served by the project. The immediate need we need to address is the reliability of our 3 aging vehicles and to ensure our ability to continue proving transportation to our youth participants and residents of Chandler. Our primary target population resides in the 85225 zip code of Chandler, AZ and we anticipate serving a total of 250 low income youth in Chandler. 6. Define the project as a new or continuing program. Has GRIC previously funded this project? We are hoping to continue to deliver transportation in our long running program of 25+ years. In 2007 these vehicles were purchased via GRIC funding of $114,000. 7. Provide a brief timeline including start and finish dates. Indicate if the timeline is flexible. Gila River Indian Community Grant Application Grant Cycle 2023 We have identified 3 Vehicles that would fulfill our needs with the help of our fleet services department and plan to aqquire them as soon as possible. (By the end of 2023). 8. Identify other organizations, partners or funders participating in the project and their roles. The city values the Public Housing Youth Program and is invested in the success of the program by providing general funds. We also receive funding from the Community Development Block Grant that assists in direct programmatic implementation as required by federal regulations. The flexibility of other grant sources helps with different areas that need to be addressed. 9. Would you be able to implement the proposed plan if your organization received partial funding for this project? Yes, if we are not able to secure funding for 3 vehicles, we would plan to purchase 2 if possible, or alternatively just one. This is a very urgent need and just one new vehicle would have a great impact on our program. 10. Describe your plan for project financial sustainability beyond the grant period. If this is a program/project previously funded by the Gila River Indian Community describe efforts made towards the previously described sustainability plan. Our current vehicles are approximately 15 years old and we would hope that alongside regular care and maintenance we would be able to prolong the life of the vehicles to get as many years of use as possible and eventually switch to electric vehicles when readily available and affordable. 11. Describe your plan to document progress and results. We currently track monthly, the number of low income youth living in public housing served in the program along with demographics and this can be reported to GRIC. We track activities that require transportation. We keep our transportation routes as short as possible to prolong the life of our vehicles, our trips primarily take place within the chandler downtown area and almost all within the city limits. 12. Indicate any application to and/or awards made by a tribe other than the Gila River Indian Community for state shared revenues for this and any other project for the past five (5) years.
