The staff of our Energy Program work year-round to insulate attics and doors, replace old windows, heaters, water heaters refrigerators and other appliances, and install other conservation measures to ensure that homes stay energy efficient and energy affordable. The installation of these measures had multiple impacts, including the reduction of heating/cooling costs, a safer and more comfortable living environment, and a reduction in the natural resources wasted. PGI staff have estimated that we have installed energy saving measures on the residences of over 42,535 low-income residents of Placer and Nevada county since our inception.In addition to installing Attic and Floor Insulation and Venting, our Weatherization Crews install: Door Weatherstripping, New Doors, New Windows, Caulking, Low-flow Water Devices, Energy Efficient Lighting, Ceiling Fans, Mechanical Ventilation, Storm Windows, and we have replaced defective , obsolete, inefficient, dangerous appliances. In the past twelve years, our Weatherization Crews have repaired, replaced and recycled (environmentally correct disposal) over: 1,360 Refrigerators, over 1,160 Combustion Appliances (HVAC, Water Heaters, etc.),375 Washing Machines and 275 Cook Stoves. These dangerous appliances could potentially create health and safety problems for our clients. Some were discharging harmful carbon monoxide poisoning the residents, which could have led to serious health issues had they not been replaced. The demand for appliance replacement has grown substantially each year as the housing stock that is available for those of less income tends to be very old and obsolete and sometimes dangerous. Provide Emergency Energy AssistanceThrough the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP/LIHEAP), PGI staff provides assistance with the payment of utility bills (UA) to avoid utility disruption or future disruption. The LIHEAP program also allows PGI to purchase Propane, Firewood, and Oil for clients who heat their homes with those commodities. This program is available to income qualified persons who reside in Placer and Nevada Counties.In 2023, PGI Staff provided UA to over 3,588 low-income individuals, seniors and families, bringing our thirteen-year total to over 40,588 clients assisted. The UA Program helps to defray the high costs associated with heating and cooling residences and to avoid the disruption of heating/cooling service in the most critical times of the seasons. UA benefits range from $350. - $781. depending on the size and income level of the household. A maximum benefit (including a supplement) can be as high as $1,000. It is to be noted that 75% of the clientele that we served in 2023 were identified as vulnerable populations (i.e., elderly, handicapped, children under age 5). This shows that our funding is going where it truly matters!Through the Low-Income Home Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP), PGI Staff provided payment assistance to 1,074 low-income clients in Placer, Nevada, Sierra and Plumas counties, which gave us the opportunity to introduce ourselves to the various Water Providers in these counties. The LIHWAP program was difficult to administer due to some of the federal program requirements, but PGI staff did our best to get the word out, collaborate with the water agencies, and provide assistance as we could. The program was initially limited to delinquent balances only, which is problematic in our counties because of the policy to transfer past due water/sewer balances to tax bills on a quarterly basis. After much lobbying of CSD, beginning in January 2023, we were able to convince those Powers That Be to adopt a federal policy that allowed us to pay current bills, which opened the doors for those who needed some help, but did not have delinquencies to pay. There are many more barriers to successful operation of this program, such as a horrendous paperwork process required for serving clients with water/sewer included in their rent, and the prohibition for serving clients with well-water, so the program was difficult to administer due to these issues in our areas. The LIHWAP program was extended through March 2024. 418299 235209 Empower People at Risk and in Poverty to Become Self-SufficientPGI was designated as the Placer County Community Action Agency (CAA) in 2013, which provided a guaranteed allocation of Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding. The Placer County CAA was previously under the Placer County Health and Human Services Dept. for over 30 years, but the County relinquished their designation, giving PGI the opportunity to submit a proposal. The intent of the CSBG program is to help the extremely low-income population to reach self-sufficiency. Previously, Placer County passed-through a portion of the CSBG funding to the Non-Profit network in Placer County, and those agencies provided the services directly. PGI agreed to continue utilizing that pass-through process for the first few years of the transition, and it has worked very well, so we have continued in that vein ever since, utilizing a Request for Proposal process.The allocation of CSBG funding, and the designation as the CAA, comes with a lot of responsibilities for making determinations as to the needs of the low-income residents of Placer County. PGI is required to conduct a public Needs Assessment every two years, for which we request input and feedback from the residents of Placer County. Once the Needs Assessment is completed, PGI is required to develop a Community Action Plan (CAP), which becomes the roadmap to direct the distribution of the CSBG funding in the provision of services to satisfy those needs. The last Needs Assessment and CAP were completed in 2023, and the top needs included (not in any order): Lack of Affordable Housing, Lack of Affordable/Accessible Transportation, Food Insecurity, Homeless Assistance, Senior Services, Children and Family Services, Jobs and Job Training, Access to Services in Remote Areas, and Services for the Mentally Ill. Once the CNA has been completed and circulated, PGI solicits proposals from the Non-Profit Community to provide services that are in sync with the Needs Assessment. In 2023-24, PGI funded the following Non-Profit Organizations:Child Advocates of Placer County Youth & Family Mentor Program (Prosper Placer Program)Sierra Community House Domestic Violence Service/Food Bank/Counseling CenterVolunteers of America Second Chance Homeless Prevention Services (Roseville Home Start)Auburn Interfaith Food Closet Senior Meal Delivery in Outlying Areas of Placer CountySierra Senior Services Senior Meal Delivery & Health & Safety Checks in Tahoe AreaCombining PGI programs and the programs offered by our Non-Profit partners, supportive services were provided to over 13,800 low-income individuals; over 32,500 meals were provided to home-bound seniors; over 475 Seniors and Disabled Individuals maintained an independent living situation; over 112 families maintained safe and affordable housing; and over 27,000 volunteer hours were donated. 314022 746196 Develop, Build and Manage Affordable HousingProject GO, Inc. (PGI) began our foray into the affordable housing development realm in 1990, and we fulfilled the Managing General Partner (MGP) role in the development of over a dozen apartment communities, comprised of over 1,100 apartment units between 1990-2005. Ultimately, we sold our MGP holdings in all but five of the apartment communities, which we now solely own, manage, and operate, housing approximately 550 low-income seniors and families.PGIs Housing Mission to provide affordable housing and more than a roof services, continues to be the guidepost for our efforts and we are pleased that our achievements have reached beyond our goals. In 2023, we continued to fund our Resident Services Coordinator (RSC) position. Our RSC assisted our tenants with accessing fresh produce and food from the Placer and Eldorado County Food Banks each and every month. She also participated as the liaison between the Health Education Council and our tenants for distribution of restaurant prepared meals. This initiative assisted our residents to assure that they received proper nutritious meals.Our RSC also coordinated the distribution of over 200 home delivered meals during the holiday season to assure that each of our Senior residents received a nutritious holiday meal.Our RSC worked to expand the opportunity for our residents to grow fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as to participate with other residents as they work in the garden boxes that have been made possible through collaboration with a variety of other non-profit organizations over the years.Utilizing CSBG funding and other resources, our RSC distributed funds to our families and senior tenants to assist them with delinquent rent. The PGI Resident Services Coordinator also collaborated with local private and public agencies to assist homeless individuals and families to obtain and sustain housing with intensive case management services, rental assistance, referrals to counseling, physical and mental health care, substance abuse prevention, child care, and money management training to assure a successful transition for our mutual low-income clients.In addition, our RSC worked with tenants to find resources and services to assist them in their daily lives, such as: Applying for SSI, Cal-Fresh, Cal-Works, Social Security, Medi-Care & Medi-Cal; Working with local Churches and other non-profit organizations to avoid tenant evictions due to delinquent rent and utilities; Working with other non-profit organizations to shelter homeless individuals and procuring subsidies to assist with security deposits and monthly rent; And any other programs and/or services that were needed by our residents.We estimate that we have successfully housed over 14,479 individuals since 1998 in the apartment communities that we own, and we completed 2023 with an average occupancy of 97.5% due to the hard work and efforts of our Housing Program Staff, and paying tribute to the value that PGI properties have in our community.We remain committed to creating and maintaining decent, affordable housing for families, individuals and seniors, which will in turn help to create safe, sustainable communities where our Children can learn and grow, our Elder Population can continue to thrive, our Homeless have another chance in life, our Unemployed can find work, and our Veterans can rejoin the society they fought to uphold More Than a Roof. 4810112 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false true true false false false true 7 0 true 35 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 12 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true true true CA X Paul Gunther 9167823443 801 VERNON STREET ROSEVILLE CA 95678 Lynda Timbers Executive Dir. 47.00 0.00 X 232600 0 18447 Mark Sheppard Housing Director 52.00 0.00 223540 0 18447 Matthew Timbers CSBG Program Dir 42.00 0.00 206228 0 18447 Paul Gunther Fiscal Director 44.00 0.00 X 189077 0 18447 Kirsten Timbers Office Manager/HR 45.00 0.00 165508 0 18447 David Hays Energy Program Coo 48.00 0.00 146127 0 18447 Dorothy Vineyard Energy Program Mgr 41.00 0.00 113146 0 18447 Christopher Bartlett Energy Program Ass 42.00 0.00 108152 0 18447 Bess Turrell Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Garland Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Hendricks Black Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Mize Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jenny Knisley Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 William L Dunbar Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tiffany Walker Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Spencer Short Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marcy Schmidt Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth Marlow Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Hamelin Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joshua Apline President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 1384378 147576 8 false true false 0 4495915 40000 4535915 ALLOCATED RENT/STORAGE 75547 75547 MGMT FEES - HSNG PROJ 337351 337351 PARTNERSHIP/HOUSING PROJ 418788 418788 831686 113674 113674 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5481275 831686 113674 X 235209 235209 0 0 0 925233 919525 5708 0 1169683 1161851 7832 35965 35965 175581 175486 95 122528 121963 565 0 0 31500 31500 0 0 0 699685 699685 1189 1189 87859 86648 1211 0 0 69407 59407 10000 9779 8687 1092 0 22685 22685 534 534 0 88420 88420 74375 74375 WPO Direct Payments 563236 563236 MATERIALS 371725 371725 TELEPHONE 43670 43670 Office Repair & Maintenance 29386 29386 173370 167920 5450 4931019 4810112 120907 0 2005472 2086149 0 0 899264 1031187 0 0 1697464 1656500 196544 287167 46996 55737 1134543 872787 344868 261756 429456 474525 0 0 0 67082 176693 5687146 6029714 326149 252206 133745 459894 252206 X 5227252 5777508 5227252 5777508 5687146 6029714 550256 X false true X true true true X 2698258 3360544 3641203 5394461 4535915 19630381 0 0 2698258 3360544 3641203 5394461 4535915 19630381 0 19630381 42915 5449 -441 -15892 113674 145705 0 0 19776086 3673873 0.99260 0.99820 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 57000 57000 219400 212818 6582 358935 269425 89510 499208 390544 108664 261756 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization qualifies for exemption from income taxes under provision Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and similar provision of state income tax regulation.
