AS GPCOG ADVANCES ITS ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND SOCIAL PRIORITIES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, THE CENTER SEEKS OUT FUNDING TO EXTEND THE AGENCY'S CAPACITY AND EFFECTIVENESS. WHEN THE CENTER WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE GPCOG EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN 2018, ITS FIRST PROJECTS CENTERED ON IMPROVING BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS WORK SPAWNED THE MAINE BROADBAND COALITION, WHICH NOW OPERATES INDEPENDENTLY. THE MAINE BROADBAND COALITION WORKS TO SECURE UNIVERSAL, AFFORDABLE, AND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY IN THE STATE OF MAINE. BETWEEN 2018 AND 2022, THE CENTER SOUGHT AND RECEIVED GRANTS TO HELP THE REGION ADDRESS OPIOID MISUSE AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER, ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENT, AND MOBILITY MANAGEMENT. ONE OF ITS BIGGEST SUCCESS STORIES WAS OBTAINING FUNDING FOR GPCOG'S SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION LEADERS PROGRAM AND THE BUS AMBASSADORS PROGRAM. THE CENTER MORE RECENTLY HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING THE REGION'S HOUSING CRISIS AND REDUCING THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE UNHOUSED. THE CENTER HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY FOCUSED ON CREATING INTENTIONAL TRANSITIONAL HOUSING TO HELP MAINE BECOME AN EQUITABLE AND PROSPEROUS PLACE FOR ALL. IN EARLY FY23, THE CENTER LAUNCHED THE SAFE IN MAINE FUND TO CATALYZE AND SUPPORT THE CREATION OF TRANSITIONAL HOUSING. THE SAFE IN MAINE FUND TAKES BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DONATIONS THAT WILL ULTIMATELY BE USED TO HELP CREATE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING IN THE GREATER PORTLAND REGION. IN EARLY 2023, THE CFRP PARTNERED WITH THE CITY OF PORTLAND AND DEVELOPERS COLLECTIVE, A LOCAL FIRM KNOWN FOR ITS WORK IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND EMERGENCY SHELTER, TO APPLY FOR A GRANT TO CREATE A NEW 180-BED SHELTER IN PORTLAND TO ADDRESS THE GROWING POPULATION OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, INCLUDING ASYLUM SEEKERS. THE GRANT, WHICH WAS AWARDED TO THE CFRP AND ITS PARTNERS BY THE MAINE STATE HOUSING AUTHORITY (MAINEHOUSING), HAS BEEN USED TO CONVERT A 26,000 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE SPACE INTO A 180- BED SHELTER WITH FOOD AND SERVICES ON SITE. SHELTER CONSTRUCTION ENDED IN LATE NOVEMBER 2023 AND THE SHELTER IS NOW FULLY OPERATIONAL. THIS SHELTER WILL HELP THE CITY OF PORTLAND AND ITS PARTNER, THE MAINE IMMIGRANTS' RIGHTS COALITION, TO PROVIDE SHELTER FOR ASYLUM SEEKERS WHILE ALSO FREEING UP SPACE AT THE CITY'S HOMELESS SERVICES CENTER FOR OTHER INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. IN 2024 AND BEYOND THE CFRP WILL CONTINUE TO TRY AND ATTRACT FUNDING FROM PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND FOUNDATION SOURCES IN ORDER TO CONTINUE ITS MISSION AND ENSURE GROWTH AND PROSPERITY FOR THE REGION. 2643841 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 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false X JOSH KOCHIS 2077749891 970 BAXTER BOULEVARD PORTLAND ME 04103 X JERRE BRYANT PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ED SUSLOVIC SECRETARY/TR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PIOUS ALI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTINA EGAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS HALL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MATT STURGIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER MILLS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 2835597 2835597 2835597 X 14552 14552 2708 2708 490 490 2523150 2523150 SUPPLIES 80147 80147 PROPERTY TAXES 11852 11852 INDIRECT COSTS 8965 8965 UTILITIES 966 966 1011 1011 2643841 2643841 0 0 131822 192541 131822 192541 16202 785 115620 131822 785 X 191756 0 191756 131822 192541 191756 X false false false X 64800 71167 86463 125502 2835597 3183529 64800 71167 86463 125502 2835597 3183529 3183529 6 6 6 6 64806 71167 86463 125502 2835597 3183535 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION THE CENTER FOR REGIONAL PROSPERITY WILL IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR SOUTHERN MAINE RESIDENTS, WITH A FOCUS ON EXPANDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, PRESERVING NATURAL RESOURCES, IMPROVING PUBLIC HEALTH, AND PROMOTING EDUCATION AND PLANNING EFFORTS IN SUPPORT OF GREATER REGIONAL PROSPERITY.
