Activities/Project Description The Subrecipient will be responsible for administering the Tomorrow's Hope Childcare program in a manner satisfactory to the City and consistent with any standards required as a condition of providing these funds. Such program will include the following activities eligible under the Community Development Block Grant Program: Program Delivery Activity: The Tomorrow's Hope Childcare will serve 5-15 Householdby providing child care and trauma- informed child development services for low-income and formerly homeless families. General Administration [Description of general administrative services to be performed in support of activities noted above] The goal of this project is for very-low income households to have affordable child care so that they are able to pursue living wage employment. Tomorrow's Hope Child Development Center serves between 175 and 200 children each year. Approximately 10% of families served fall in the income bracket that either disqualifies them from state child care subsidies or only provides a very small subsidy that is still unaffordable for their family. In addition to this goal, the overall program's goals are for homeless and low-income children to achieve on-target development and be Kindergarten ready before entering elementary school. Progress toward these goals is measured by Teaching Strategies GOLD® developmental assessments. Our goal is that at least 75% of children who enter Tomorrow's Hope with a developmental delay either make progress toward or achieve on-target development in social- emotional, language, physical and cognitive development. Tomorrow's Hope Child Development Center is the only licensed child care facility in Snohomish County specifically designed to meet the unique needs of children and families who have experienced the trauma of homelessness or poverty. This program provides high quality, trauma informed childcare and early intervention child development services to approximately 175 children from 120 families each year. In addition to being a full-service Kindergarten readiness program, Tomorrow's Hope is a one-stop resource and referral guide for homeless families. The program supplies information about everything from parenting strategies, special needs services and pregnancy support to sources for children's clothes and shoes. This effective program gives homeless families the skills and resources to create safe, stable homes for their children. The
