RCI is to provide resources to address the unmet housing and service needs of homeless individuals and families in Ventura County CA. RCI partnered with RAIN Transitional Living Center operated by the County of Ventura which housed approximately 110 individuals each year. Over half of those individuals were children. Many of the residents have been victims of domestic violence. Since our inception in 2002 RCI has provided $2.52 million in program funding and over 28,000 volunteer hours. The goal is to help each family gain employment improve life skills and build healthy habits that will lead to permanent housing and transformative changes resulting in sustained self-sufficiency keeping family units intact. The combination of opportunity and accountability has proven to be a solution to end homelessness restored dignity and independence. false false 24935 13960 0 Transportation Support - The key to employment and independence for homeless individuals is safe and reliable transportation. Our program funds transportation for homeless residents living at RAIN Transitional Living Center in Ventura County CA as well as RAIN alumni in need of assistance. We funded 236 $6,625 Uber rides to transport RAIN residents to work and appointments. We provided $2,600 in Uber gift cards for alumni for an estimated 92 additional rides. We contributed $7,691 for 3 families to purchase vehicles. We paid $5,828 for auto repairs new tires and oil changes. We also paid $441 in auto insurance. 23631 5593 0 Children Support Services - We funded 747 hours $13,867 of childcare services and $1,673 of pre-school fees so parents could get to work. We funded activities for the homeless children and their parents totaling $6,213 for attendance to the VC Fair with food and rides the Pumpkin Patch with food and rides 4th of July firework display entry fees and dinner outdoor movie nights on a big screen with meals included. We also paid $3,354 for holiday parties with gifts for an estimated 70 children. Homeless children often dont experience activities that other children take for granted. The goal of our activities is to introduce the kids to new experiences create family bonding and promote confidence as the kids feel more on par with their peers. 23562 19613 0 Housing Support Services - We funded $18,573 of rent and utility assistance to house 9 families including 16 children. We also paid $3,199 for basic furnishings such as beds linens dressers and kitchen tables etc. for 3 families. One of the greatest obstacles for a homeless family seeking housing is securing a move-in deposit. Staying housed can also be a challenge for many single moms we serve. Their monthly budgets are extra vulnerable to missed work hours due to a childs illness a car mechanical issue or employers variable assigned work hours. We help mothers at risk of losing their housing catch up on their rent in arrears. It is much more cost effective and less disruptive to help someone stay housed than it is to help a family once they become homeless. A prior eviction can block future housing opportunities given the competitive housing market and low vacancy rate in Ventura County. Domestic disruptions caused by housing instability takes an emotional toll on adults and especially the children. We want to protect the kids. 10363 0 0 Meals for homeless families 2964 0 0 Clothing for homeless families 3632 1575 0 Funding for miscellaneous expenses for homeless families such as legal fees medical costs child car seats etc. 16959 1575 0 89087 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false CA X Ami Milla 8054799725 832 Calle Portilla Camarillo CA 93010 X David Kohlmeier President and Board Member 5.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Jackie Perrin Vice President and Board Member 20.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Eric Kinsey Secretary and Board Member 1.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Ami Milla Treasurer and Board Member 20.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Jesse Cahill Esq Board Member 1.00 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 0 0 0 153951 0 153951 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2833 0 0 2833 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 156784 0 0 2833 0 0 40741 40741 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5453 4089 682 682 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1856 0 0 1856 1493 250 897 346 743 359 324 60 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3069 2301 384 384 Transportation - Uber and Lyft 9225 9225 0 0 Childcare and children's activities 16288 16288 0 0 Housing support 2199 2199 0 0 Meals 9786 9786 0 0 3849 3849 0 0 94702 89087 2287 3328 0 0 0 0 169538 230259 262679 264040 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6024 6024 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 438241 500323 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 426303 490323 11938 10000 438241 500323 438241 500323 62082 0 0 0 0 0 X false false false X 59744 105219 99388 136446 153951 554748 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 59744 105219 99388 136446 153951 554748 33215 521533 1023 873 843 1151 2833 6723 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 561471 0 0.9289 0.9116 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true Transportation-auto repairs & helped purchase 3 vehicles 9 13960 0 0 0 Childcare 6 5593 0 0 0 Rent & utility assistance 9 19613 0 0 0 Legal fees paid for homeless family 1 1575 0 0 0 Part III Line 0 Column (b) There were 9 households comprising 10 adults and 14 children.
