Eight projects were funded during the program year. Six of the projects were public service projects providing employment services, health services, homelessness prevention, and case management for at-risk families and targeting services to low income individuals and families. The two capital projects included funding the long-term lease of a community services center serving low-income and at-risk children and families in eastern Loudoun and the acquisition of three homes for rehabilitation and disposition to low-income families. All of the projects benefitted primarily low and moderate income residents and a significant number of beneficiaries had extremely low incomes. Over 3400 persons were direct beneficiaries of CDBG-funded activities during the year. Highlights of significant accomplishments during the year include: • A facility was secured through a long-term lease for a community center located in an economically distressed community; over 2100 low-income and at-risk persons were served during the year with a wide array of services for families and children. • Three homes were purchased and rehabilitated by a non-profit organization and sold to low-income families. • Dental care services were provided to 517 low income adults and older adults. • Prescription assistance to 200 Loudoun County residents with extremely low to moderate income. • Job search assistance and placement was provided to 130 low income persons. • Intensive case management was provided through a home-visiting program to a total of 464 persons in low-income at-risk families. • Homeless prevention assistance (with expenses associated with emergency hotel accommodations and case management) were provided to 34 young adults (ages 18-24). 1 CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a) This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.
