ii___.. EVERETT <br /> WASHINGTON <br /> City of Everett Human Needs Grant <br /> January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 <br /> Exhibit A <br /> Program Summary <br /> Organization&Program: American Red Cross: Local Disaster Relief <br /> Our Disaster Relief efforts meet our clients' emergency-related needs for shelter,food and clothing,immediately <br /> and equitably. Volunteer caseworks are able to assist with the aforementioned items,as well as prescription <br /> medication and eyeglass replacement on a case-by-case basis. The first object is to ensure that the affected residents <br /> have access to shelter,food and clothing immediately following a disaster. For an affected family,that might mean <br /> funding for three nights in a hotel and funding for food and clothing. We also can provide them with referrals to <br /> partner agencies. For larger events(large apartment complexes)we may open a shelter with food provided and <br /> provide our clients with funding and referrals for clothing. Our volunteer caseworkers are empowered to work with <br /> other agencies to help our clients develop long-term solutions including housing. <br /> 2019 Human Needs Contract Page 7 <br />
