Just a welcome to everyone. I'm glad we're going to be talking about the census this evening. I spent the morning at Rosemont Park Elementary passing out items to the school, the students, to get ready for the school year. And visited briefly with the census workers there who expressed concern that they were not reaching everyone in the Rosemont area. So, this is a great opportunity to learn more about that. So, I'm looking forward to this evening. She is the Councilmember Zaira and I just wanted to thank you for being here and I'm happy that we're going to share information about the census today. She was at the Rosemont Elementary school and she spoke to the census workers and shared that they were not getting the response they wanted from the Rosemont area. So, we hope that after this, they will be able to go to their census. To start, we're going to share information about the census. So, to start off, just to share a little bit of information regarding the census, I'm going to share my screen here. And just to give an overview of the census, we complete the census every year, every 10 years, sorry, to make sure that everyone gets counted. And the reason why we want everybody to get counted is for fair representations about every 10 years. The results of the census are used to reapportion the House of Representatives. It's in our Constitution, but it also helps reallocate 675 billion dollars throughout the whole country. It's important when we talk about redistricting and taking part is our civic duty. So, porque tomamos el censo, tomamos el censo cada 10 años y se trata de una representación just a cada 10 años, los resultados del censo se usan para llevar a cabo la redistribution proporcional de la cámara de representantes que nos representan a nosotros y están a constitución. Se trata de 675 mil millones de dólares que están distribuidos alrededor del país y se trata de redistribution legislativa y es nuestro deber cívico. Census data is being used all around us. It's used different data whenever we, or the city, whenever we look to find out which neighborhood should be our next neighborhood improvement program. Estos datos del censo se usan en todas partes y se usan como datos para averiguar por ejemplo en la ciudad que el vecindario sería parte del programa de mejoramiento. Businesses use the census data to decide where to build factories, offices, stores, and where to create jobs. Hay empresas que usan estos datos del censo para decidir dónde construir fábricas, oficinas, tiendas, lo cual crea en empleos. And the census is protected. It's against the law for the Census Bureau to publicly release your responses in any way that could identify you or your household. Por la ley, sus respuestas no se pueden ser usadas en contra, solo pueden ser usadas para producir estadísticas y datos. And we have until September 30th to complete the census. So you have a few more days to complete it. You'll see that now that if you have not completed the census, census takers are hitting the streets and they're visiting your homes. They'll leave a notice letting you know how you can complete the census online. So si se ha dado cuenta si no ha completado el censo ha tenido una visita de un empleado que trabaja para el censo y han dejado una nota si no lo ha encontrado en su casa y le dejan información de cómo puede llenar el censo en línea. So how can you help? You're the experts and we want your ideas to make sure that everyone in the community gets counted. So if you have a neighbor that you know hasn't opened the door when the census checker has come in, make sure that you're following up with them and making sure that they are also completing the census because this is something that's important, not just to the city, but to all of us because we want to make sure that we're all equally represented. So como puede ayudar usted a su opinión es muy importante y necesitamos sus ideas sobre la mejor forma de asegurarnos que todo se cuenten todas las personas en esta comunidad tienen hasta el 30 de septiembre para completar el censo y nos pueden ayudar con visitar con sus asinos, sus familiares y decirles que tienen el censo si no lo han hecho todavía. Is there anything else I missed on the census Catherine? Yeah, I just want to add one thing probably the most important thing for a lot of our young families. We've heard concerns when maybe families are renting a home that maybe they have three or four children and that's the only amount of kids that are on their lease. And so whenever census taker around, maybe they've only said that they had one person on their lease and so that's what they tell the census because they're afraid that their landlord might found out otherwise. Just want to reiterate that none of the information that is put on that's turned in for the census is shared with anyone including their landlords. So the other important thing that we wanted to mention is that if you rent a home, none of the information that you share with the census is given to the owner or the owner of the house. This information is confidential and only shared with data and statistics will have personal information about you or information that will give it to someone else. And I think the only other big thing is with everything that we have been dealing with with COVID and a lot of the funds that have been sent to our local governments to be able to help people. The way that our government decides to give money to the cities is completely based on census data. So it's very important that people fill that out and share that information so that with their additional funds are needed in the future, we'll have access to that. Tenemos tantas personas porque estamos representadas y hemos sido escondados por el censo. Perfect. I'm going to stop sharing my screen now and we'll go ahead and get started with our neighborhood services presentation. And hopefully this time when I share it, it works the way that it's supposed to. The presentation that we're going to do today is help for you and your home. So it'll be everything that you would want to know to receive help yourself or for the home that you're currently living in. The city of earth offers many, many programs, some of which are not familiar to a lot of people who live and work in our city to help improve your home and the quality of life. Some of the programs help families have safer home and get help with bills or even buy a house. The city of the Fort Worth offers a lot of programs that most people don't know to help improve their home and their quality of life. Algunos de los programas ayudan a las familias a tener un hogar más seguro obtener ayuda con las facturas o incluso comprar una casa. Otros programas le ayudan a declarar sus impuestos o tener entrenamiento de trabajo para que pueda ganar más dinero. Otros ayudan a mejorar a todo el vecindario. So some of the other programs that neighborhood services provides will be help filing your taxes, getting job training so you can make more money and others help improve the whole neighborhood. Eligibility requirements are different for every program. Most have income requirements and some are only for Fort Worth residents. Although there are some that are available to residents in Tarrant County and some are based on age of your home or whether your children live with you or not. Others are for veterans. Some programs are only offer at certain times of the year. Others are so popular that unfortunately they run out of funds but then get funded again the next year. I want you to know more about the program so you and your neighbors and family members can take advantage of them as we talk about each program. Think about your home and your family may know if you think this program might help you. You don't have to worry about taking detailed notes or information as context for each program are going to be shared in a handout where we'll make sure that we share this information. There will be a neighborhood association so that they can post it afterwards but there will also be a survey that you can complete and you can leave your email address and I'll make sure that I can get that information out to you. Eligibility requirements are different for each program. Most have income requirements and some are only for Fort Worth residents. Others are also open to Tarrant County residents. Some of them are based on the age of their home or without children living with you. Others are only for veterans. Some programs are only offered at certain times of the year. Others are so popular that they run out of funds but then they get funded again the next year. We have to know more about these programs so that you and your neighbors and family members can take advantage of them as we talk about each program. Think about your home and your family. Take notes and think that this program might help you. You don't have to worry about taking detailed notes or information as context for each program are going to be shared in a handout where we'll make sure that we share this information. Before we start delving into all of the programs that Neighborhood Services has, I want everyone to know that the City of Fort Worth works hard to prevent discrimination of any kind. And when it comes to housing, it's illegal to discriminate or intimidate someone because of the race, color, religion, nationality, sex, disability and more. The City's Diversity and Inclusion Department has the authority to enforce city ordinances and federal laws that prohibit discrimination including Fair Housing Act. The Diversity and Inclusion staff can give you more information about anti-discrimination laws and investigate complaints. The next several programs are administered by the City's Neighborhood Services Department and we're going to start with priority repair. First of all, I want everyone to know that the City of Fort Worth works hard to prevent discrimination of any kind. When it comes to housing, it's illegal to discriminate or intimidate someone because of the race, color, religion, nationality, sex, disability and more. The City's Diversity and Inclusion Department has the authority to enforce city ordinances and federal laws that prohibit discrimination including Fair Housing Act. The Diversity and Inclusion staff can give you more information about anti-discrimination laws and investigate complaints. The next programs are administered by the City's Neighborhood Services Department and we're going to start with priority repair. What I'm going to talk about is priority repair and it's broken down by a couple that I will go over. For each of these programs, I'll give you some basics for understanding what the programs do, what their goals are and then we'll also go over some of the eligibility requirements. But understand that there's a lot more information to discuss and so there's one of the handouts that is going to be sent out to you is going to have contact information for specific numbers that you could call to get more information for each of these programs. First is priority repair, which is the goal of emergency repairs and this is capped at $5,000 per home. It has to be an owner-occupied residence, meaning that you have to own and live in that residence as your primary home and it has to be within the city of Fort Worth. It's emergency mechanical system, home repairs, health and safety repairs and it's limited to one repair per household per year, so every 12 months. The first program that we're going to share is about priority repair in the home. There are a lot of programs that we're going to talk about, but it's important to note that all the contact information for each program is different, but we're going to share it at the end of the presentation. The first program can be of first priority. They are addressed as first, they are things such as water line ratures, high-quality water, line flow futures and they can be qualified for the first 12 months. So these are emergency repairs and not cosmetic repairs. So some of those emergency repairs could be that you think utilities and you think health and safety. So we think water and sewer lines. We can also talk about our gas and other things, water heaters, heating and cooling systems, especially when we just dealt with one of the hotter summers in Texas. And these are the emergency type repairs and the goal is to have them done in a couple of days once you've been qualified. The major thing here is that the priority repair technicians, those are City of Fort Worth employees after the client is qualified and goes through the income qualification process, which would just be proving a certain amount of income. They would have a technician go out and spec the house, prioritize whatever the severe issues are in that home, and then up to $5,000, as I said, can be spent on these. So these are emergency repairs and it's important to differentiate here that they're not cosmetic. There are other programs that once you get, once you call these numbers, there are other programs that are available for that. But priority pair specifically is not that priority repair to I'm sorry, go ahead. And it's important to note that the first priority are up to $5,000. I had a technician who works for the city that is going to go to you and your home to be able to fix these rules within a few days. And they would be things like the ones that we have already mentioned, water, sewer, line, to the candidate, system of qualification. And now we are going to move to priority 2. So the priority repair to goes a little bit above that it does include the other items that we talked about. So water and sewer lines and those kinds of things, but it does go a little bit further above that for roof repairs because roof repairs cost a little bit more money. And then holistic systems like the entire AC system or even bathroom some sub flooring as a health and safety concern. That your toilet is leaking or your bathroom showers leaking and it's causing damage to that subfloor. That's a health issue, a safety issue. And that is a, that's why we call it the priority repairs because it's about making your home healthy, safe and sanitary. Los emails, the priority of all the including cosas como payas in el sistema eléctrico reparaciones del techo, system of the item. So the next, when we move into the next thing, the realm of eligibility, we talk about the second handout that you're going to get, which is a breakdown of the different income qualifications. So specific to the priority repair program, we talk about something called area median income, which is the middle point of all of the city of Fort Worth based on the census data that we just talked about. And it's a it's a shot about 50% or above that mark and 50% or below. So when we say 60% AMI, we're saying 60% of the area and median income. And so for an idea for a family of four, that's about based on current census data is about $48,900 for four people in that house. That's for people for earners in that home. That's the aggregate income for that home and for total people. So the income is calculated. Very simply, it's everybody over the age of 18 in that house that brings in income, but the number of people in your household is the everybody in your house so anybody meaning your children, your grandparents, whoever that may be. We're going to talk about the eligibility of the program and that means who is eligible for the program. Based on income, it would be the average of the income of the area that would be approximately 60% of the income of that area. So that is a combination of the next couple of slides. But the general thing is, is that an inspection has to be done and the paperwork has to be filed before these are federal dollars so we have to make sure that the funds are going to those with the most need. And so we have to verify that your income is eligible for this program before we can actually do an inspection. So we can't that's the first step is to call the number on that sheet. Talk with one of our city employees and we do it is available in Spanish. We have people who speak Spanish. So that won't be an issue and they can help you step by step. They're very nice ladies, very nice gentlemen. And they're here to help you and make sure that your home is healthy, safe and sanitary. La casa debe estar ocupada por el dueño, lo que significa que si usted es el dueño también vive allí, también debe estar dentro de los limites de la ciudad debe de completar toda la documentación que la casa sea inspectada. Pero el primer paso es hablar al número de teléfono al cual le vamos a dar el folleto y puede hablar con alguien en inglés o en español. Tenemos empleados que hablan ambos idiomas y pueden compartir esta información con usted porque la primera parte es de completar la documentación. And Eric, we have a question I don't know if we're going to answer here on the next slide. But if do you have to be a citizen to qualify for the priority repair program? Can you be a legal permanent resident or undocumented? So la pregunta era si podía ser un ciudad, tiene que ser ciudadano para calificar para este programa o si puede ser permanente legal o ser documentado. You must be a legal resident to receive the federal dollars coming from huggies. So tiene que ser un residente legal para poder recibir dinero para este programa. So the is that does that answer the question for now. Yes. Okay, so next we're going to talk about another program that the city offers called the home buyer assistance program. And this is a much like it sounds is for first time home buyers and it is to help you get off the ground and get into a home so that you can move from renting and then start a start a home for your family or even just for yourself. So this is a mortgage assistance for the first time home buyers like I just mentioned, and it provides up to $20,000. This is new as of this year. This is just passed by council that we increased it from 15 to 20,000. And it's for first time home buyers for down payment assistance and up to a certain amount as we'll cover here in a couple of slides for the down payment assistance in the overall mortgage reduction. So it was just mentioned this is just a visual so that you can see you can use the full $20,000 for mortgage assistance. And or you could use up to $3,000 of that 20,000. You can do this and or meaning you can do both but the total cap is $20,000. So up to $3,000 of that can be used towards closing costs or down payment. So el uso como mencionamos podría ser para la hipoteca. Pueden ser para asistencia para eso o puede usar $3,000 para costos de cierre o y el pago inicial de lugar. So the big question, are you eligible. So the primary the primary things are this now there are some special things that come with COVID that come with, you know, advancements are changes in the program. There's a lot to cover when it comes to home buyers assistance. So if you're interested, I highly recommend that you contact the number and get with one of our one of our city staff that can help you with that. But you have to have not owned a home in the last three years. You have to live in that home as your primary residence, and you have to choose a city approved lender which that list is provided to you and they're all great people to work with and they they're familiar with this program. The person applying. You must live in this house as your principal residence for an extended period of time. Now, since we increase the funding total that that that total is 10 years. So what would happen if you sold your home, then that amount of money that was given to you for that mortgage assistance or that down payment assistance, whatever it may be. Then be recaptured at the sale of your home and then funnel back into the program to help somebody else do exactly what you did and keep furthering that along for the city of Fort Worth and the residents that are in that are in need are trying to get the first home. La persona que solicite esta ayuda no puede haber sido dueño de una vivienda en los últimos tres años. Sin embargo, una ama de casa desplazada es elegible por ejemplo si está divorciada o enviada y puede que no haya trabajado durante un tiempo. Debe vivir en la casa como su residencia principal. So tiene que ser donde vive a tiempo completo y debe elegir a esta lista aprobado por la ciudad y hay una lista de ellas en nuestro sitio de web, pero también es importante que pueda llamar para averiguar cuáles son los que a los tres tamistas que son aprobados por la ciudad. So continuing with the eligibility, you'd have to give a minimum contribution and that contribution is either $1,000 at least $1,000 towards whatever that home purchase is or 2% or whatever is less, which is different than a lot of the things that we've heard to give you an example. So if the home cost $50,000 2% of that would be $1,000. Conversely, if the home cost $100,000, then 2% of that would be $2,000 and the home buyer would only need to would only need to use $1,000 of their own dollars to qualify for this program. Conversely, unlike the priority repair program, the income threshold for this program is 80% am I so if we look back at that, that attachment you'll see it, which equals for about a family of four as I was explaining before with those with those circumstances would be about $65,200 for a family of four So el comprador de la vivienda debe aportar algo de su propio dinero para calificar serían $1,000 o 2% por el precio de compra lo que sea menos. El ejemplo es si el 2% en una casa es de $50,000 serían $1,000 por lo que las casas más caras solo requieren $1,000. La base de ingresos para este este programa sería el 8% del medio del área. Que sería para una familia de cuatro sería rededor de $65,000 dólares por año y un cambio. And Eric, we do have another question that came through this. So I'm getting offered by the department or any of the other programs that you're going to be talking about. Can you mention if it's only available for legal residents. So the federal it depends on the funding stream so the I can say that so this is a program from the department. This is a city run program that is funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. And since it is a federal program they do have that requirement that we adhere to so we do have to prove citizenship or for legal residency within the city of Fort Worth. For those programs now when we get into the other programs that may change when Beatrice starts talking about the community action partners and with the different state funding sources. So for these programs specifically yes, and the let's say program that I'm about to talk about as well, you will be required to prove that legal residency. So la pregunta era si todos los programas de que ofres el departamento tiene solamente son para residentes que sean legales y la pregunta es la respuesta es. Para este programa si porque los fondos de ese programa vienen del gobierno federal así la ciudad para que ellos a lo que en a los residentes pero para otros programas que vamos a hablar más adelante puede ser poquito más diferente para pero para estos. A primeros tres programas a respuesta si tiene que ser residentes son legales. So with the last point I'll say for the home buyer systems program before we get into the let's say program is that there's a lot of information and I again I'm just going to plug that one more time that I recommend that if you are interested in this or if you know somebody who is to call the number that is provided on that that resource sheet that is being provided to you. The only thing that we're going to mention about this program is that there's a lot of information. I can say yeah. I said the truth I get by this day. Solo program. So it's me. So without further ado we can go into the let's say let's let's say program. So the goal here is safer homes specifically for families with children that are under the age of six and for those that have family are that are income qualified and have families with children age six or younger. But anybody can apply if you have a house that is built prior to 1978. The reason for that is because in 1978 there was a there was legislation passed that basically barred certain concentrations of lead hazard and paint on the inside of homes because up until that time led was used in pretty much everything because it was a great component. It's a strong component and it makes things better. The problem is is we didn't understand the hazards. So in 1978 they passed that and so these programs were developed thereafter in the city's been conducting this program specifically the let's say program since 2012. So the next program that we're going to talk about is the program of the let's say it's a program that is to keep the homes safe and safe against the lead hazard. And it's to help protect the residents of the lead hazard and this is because the majority of the houses that were built before 1978. They found paint on pipes, water, electricity and more. Before there was a lot of lead in these paintings in these areas. Before you know the risks for health. If you manipulate lead during the repairs or remodeling, the people can be inhaled and it's not safe for the children under the age of six. So this program has been in the city since 2012 and it helps against the lead and safety of the houses, especially in the community. So the reason why this program is geared towards families with children is because children are the most at risk for these because of the severe health risks that are associated with those lead pain hazards. We have speech impediments or I'm sorry, learning disabilities, speech issues, behavioral problems, a whole slew of things and the most at risk are those between the ages of 6 months and 6 years old. And if you've done any construction in your home, if you've ever disturbed some of that lead paint because when we turn rooms over and we paint them and we update them as we move through the years. We disturb that paint and it creates lead dust and lead is lead is a heavy component. So it settles on the floor and we all know children love to put their hands in their mouths. So they crawl around they do they do a series of different things and they put that in their mouths and it can elevate their blood level to a toxic level and cause a lot of damage to them. The reason why there is a bigger emphasis on children is because they are at more risk of contract the lead in their bodies because it can cause problems with the brain, it can cause auditory problems with the language, it can cause problems in their learning and in their growth. That's why we put an emphasis on helping families with children under the age of 6. So when you're renovating a room, it's important to know that children can be on the floor and when we remove a wall, that dust stays on the floor and they are walking. They can have it in their hands and they can inhale it and it stays in their system. So the big question is, are you eligible? The key here is that year 1978. So if your home was built prior to 1978, then that is the key that's the key. There are some high risk or what is also referred to as target areas throughout Fort Worth that have high concentrations of these homes that were built in that time. After that time, as I mentioned before, lead paint in that level was barred from being used. It was pulled off the shelves and it was pretty much stopped being used. Now it can still be a hazard in certain places. So we will still do risk assessments on different things like that. But the primary qualifying factors are going to be built before 1978. Children present. And having your income qualified, which as we just mentioned, it is 80% am I and we can just look back at that. That handout once again to see if we qualify for those things prior, but if you do have children present. Oh, and also, if you don't have children, that's not, that's not, that doesn't mean you can't qualify for the program because the city's goal is to remove these hazards for all homes, eventually, as far as we as far as we can take it each year. And especially if you're pregnant because if you're pregnant, you're expecting you're going to have a toddler in the next six months that's running around, maybe crawling around running away from mommy run away from daddy. So we want to protect those people as much as we can. To be eligible for this program, the property must have been built before 1978 and that's the key. The program is offered throughout the city, but most of the old or older houses are in the post office codes that you can see. And they're in high school. I don't want to say that other areas of the city should not be at risk, but this is where most of the houses that are old. And that they can contain lead or lead based on lead. I also mentioned that pregnant women are also at risk because they're at risk of having babies that can start walking or they're walking on the floor. So we want to make sure that they are also included. I don't want to say that we only include homes or houses that only have children, but they're at risk, but they also go to other houses that are at risk because the goal would be that all the houses that are based on lead would not be at risk. So the priority of care program did require that you had to be the owner of that home. The lead program deviates from that and that it can be a renter or owner, but if you are a renter in that in that home and you qualify is 1978 home and the other things that we talked about. You just need to have permission from that landlord and the form letter or we can we can discuss and work with you on how to acquire those things. The other thing was, what does it mean when when you read or you hear us say that a child spends a quote unquote significant amount of time. Again, these are federal funds and they have very, very, you know, hard lines in the sand and what we must do and how we must qualify for these programs. And so HUD, HUD defines this as at least 3 hours a day 2 days a week for a total of 68 or more hours a year. So that means 2 days a week you have to have that child, which is 6 or under be be present at that house and then think about your grandparents think about dropping your child off. Your child goes to grandma's house or goes to the aunt's house or the uncle's house on their way home from work. I'm sorry, on the way home from school waiting for mom or dad to get off work and come pick them up. So if the child is in that house for that amount of time, then we can qualify that as more specific. And so that's a higher priority. And again, you can get more information by calling, but that would be a higher priority and you would be jumped a little further ahead of the line to get those services. But this is a high priority thing. And we take this very seriously and thank you for your time. I appreciate it. I look forward to hearing from anybody that has a call. One important part of this program is that the eligibility that is different from the program of priority and reparations is that it does not have to be the owner of its home to be able to qualify for the program. It can be an inquilino. That means that we will work with the owner to be able to make the adjustments because it is you who is living in the house. So for this program, it would not necessarily be necessary to be a legal resident, but the owner would need to be the legal owner of that property. But they would work with them to access that. When we said that how long does it take for a child to be able to qualify for this program? A child under six years should live or spend time in the house. How long? At least three hours a day, twice a week, for a total of less than 60 hours a year. So that means that a grandfather who takes care of a child after school or during the weekend could qualify for this program. And we would work with the owner of the house to qualify for this program. Thanks again. Hello Ruth. Is it my turn now? Yes, Beatrice. Hi, good evening guys. This is Beatrice Guerrero with the Community Action Partners and wanted to welcome everyone. I'm going to start with the goal is financial independence. We manage manages federal, state and local grants, funds and services. And we serve all of Tarran County. So the second part of this presentation is going to be about community action programs or CAP for short. And the goal of this program is financial independence. They manage subsidies, funds, federal and state services and they serve all of Tarran County. Not only those who live in the city of Fort Worth. Our goal is financial independence. And our program sites are at eight different Fort Worth community centers. Eligibility varies, but generally low income. We do help with utility bills, utility bill payments for up to 12 months and help with the disconnection or high bills during weather crisis. And with the help of the utility bills, we also do a heating and AC system repairs. Portable units and if not repairable, we will replace them. Otro programa también ayuda con las reparaciones de calificación, aire acondicionado para grupos prioritarios como ancianos o personas de capacidadas. Y otros también ayudan con crisis temáticas como durante una hora de calor como estamos experimentando ahora. Okay, the help with the utility bills, weatherization services to improve energy efficiency in the home. And we do like caulking, weather stripping, window repair, etc. And we also have classes to help lower your energy cost. CAP también ayuda a reducir las actividades de servicios públicos. Por ejemplo, la climatizando su hogar, eso incluye a talifetar, burletes o hacer otras reparaciones que mantienen el aire caliente afuera y en el verano y el aire frío en el invierno. Okay. We also help with the job tuition assistance for short term certifications and training auto repair, commercial drivers, computer system, medical, etc. Y la asistencia de matrícula para certificación de corto tiempo, eso también ayudamos con trabajos. Eso sería como reparaciones de auto, de conducir comercial, de computadora o médica. Y estas licencias le pueden ayudar a que le paguen más en su trabajo si está buscando avanzar su carrera. And also the help with the job we also fund for books, uniform supplies related to training, career counseling, interview skills and budgeting, etc. El programa de CAP también puede pagar con libros, uniformes y otros subministros del entrenamiento y también ofrecen talleres y asociamiento profesional individual que le ayudaran a mejorar sus habilidades para las entrevistas y escribir un currículo o más. Another program that we have is help for veterans, veterans, their surviving spouses and families, and also one time rental mortgage and utility payments to veterans. Los próximos programas de CAP son para veteranos, así como los comuniques o sobrevivientes y las familias de los veteranos ofrece pagos únicos de alquiler por una vez servicios públicos a los veteranos para evitar la falta de vivienda. And also continuing on the veterans we also do ramps, grab bars, doors, handrails, etc. Also heating, air conditioning, water, sewer lines, flooring and roof. Para continuar los programas de veteranos también ayudan con la asesabilidad si necesitan rampas, barras de apoyo, puertas, pasamanos, calificación, aire acondicionado, agua, alcantilado, pisos o techos. Okay, we also do help with taxes, volunteer income tax assistance program that is short provider, free income tax preparation and e filing. El programa de existencia por voluntarios de declaración de impuestos es otro programa que ayuda el programa CAP y son preparaciones gratis de declaración de impuestos y hacen e filing. The help with taxes, staff and volunteers are IRS certified. Earn income tax credit and child tax credit as well. So el personal y los voluntarios de Vira son entrenados por el servicio de impuestos internos o IRS y verifican si usted califica para un crédito de impuestos de niños o crédito ganado por ingresos de sus impuestos. Well, are you eligible? Find details online. Fortward, texas.gov slash cap questions. You can call the question line at 817-392-5720 or make appointments at 817-392-5790. But I'm sorry at this time we're just doing mail in or online because of our crisis at this time. Todos los programas de CAP tienen requisitos de legibilidad ligeramente diferentes, o es mejor que a visite en línea a ver si califica para los programas porque son diferentes. Cada uno de cual habló son diferentes programas y puede hablar por teléfono o puede visitar el sitio de web para hacer una cita ahorita no se están haciendo citas en personas pero pueden ayudar a completar la solicitud que necesita por teléfono. Are you eligible proof of identity and residents proof of income for all household members 18 and over some programs proof of proof of legal residents or citizenship. So para este programa necesita prueba de identificación eso quiere decir que necesitaría a una explicación con foto para que usted pueda probar en donde vive. También necesitará prueba de ingresos y algunos programas necesitan pruebas de residencia legal o ciudadanía. Okay Ms. Ruth that's it unless there's any questions. There's no questions that I can see but for some of the CAP programs. It's important to know that for the proof of income it'll be 30 days of income so if you're paid weekly. That would be 45 steps and some programs like I said require proof of legal residency or citizenship. So para uno de los programas es importante que notar que la prueba de ingresos sería enseñar hasta 30 días de sus ingresos y si se paga por semana eso sería en cuatro. Checkers or paystuffs o cinco o más o más dependiendo de qué frecuente le paguen. Correct and then if they're on social security or SSI it's just the award letter for the year 2020. Y si estás viendo ingresos de seguro social sería prueba de la letra de verificación que le mandan para el año de los 2020. And one other thing Ruth is to make sure it's for all household just like our other programs all household members 18 and over. We get a lot of calls asking about that and it's everyone in the household of that is 18 and over we need their income. So también es importante notar que los ingresos no solo son para una persona sino serían para todos los miembros que viven en el lugar que serían a mayores de 18 years. Thank you. Moving along I wanted to kind of do a recap of everything that we've kind of talked about throughout our workshops in the last couple of days. In the city also has programs to keep your home safe so we you met your MPO his name is Omar Bustos. And police officers are assigned to a geographic area. In addition to patrolling they identify crime trends and communicate with presidents and business owners. I take community meetings such as your neighborhood association meeting events and recruit volunteers for citizens on patrol or crime watch groups. So I would like to do a review of all the programs that we've talked about in the workshops. Some of these programs help to keep your home safe. Just like the patrol officer of the neighborhood. Officials are assigned to specific geographic areas. You have your area and your name is Omar Bustos. In addition to patrolling identify conductives or conductives they communicate with residents and business owners. And they assist in community meetings such as your neighborhood association meetings. And they also recruit volunteers for citizens on patrol and those who are watching against crime. Along with having an officer of patrol also has a specialist in prevention of crime. They are assigned to each of the patrolling divisions and offer information about the surveillance of crime in the district. Encuestas inspecciones seguridad. Perias de seguridad operación de niños y también hacen en national night out y otros y otras cosas. So aside from having a assigned MPO or neighborhood patrol officer you also have a crime prevention specialist and they are assigned to each of the six patrol divisions that we have in the city. They offer information on neighborhood crime watch security surveys and inspections. They also provide safety fairs and operations for safe child. So they'll provide kid IDs whenever they do these crime watch fairs as well. Otro programa de cual hemos hablado es de código de cumplimiento. So one of the other programs that we talked about was regarding code compliance and their safe initiative program is concentrated effort to improve neighborhood. So code officers go door to door educating residents about code violations and residents are given an opportunity to fix any problems before getting a notice or ticket. And then we also have the code rangers program and the code rangers programs trains residents to volunteer to provide reports and suspect co violations and the city says that they are not going to be able to fix any problems before getting a notice or a ticket. So we also have the code rangers program. The code rangers programs trains residents to volunteer to provide reports and suspect co violations and the city sends courtesy letters to property owners. The program allows code officers to devote more time on chronic or dangerous complicated issues. But one of my favorite things about the code rangers program is that you get to look at everything you ever wanted to know about the city's code. And it's really amazing the things that you'll find out that are legal or not legal within the code of the city as you start driving around. So if you're interested in that program, I'd be happy to get you in touch with the code rangers. The code rangers program trains residents to provide reports and suspect co violations and the city sends courtesy letters to property owners. The program allows code officers to devote more time on chronic or dangerous problems. My favorite part of the code rangers program is that I find out everything you ever wanted to know about the code of the city. And so you go to different parts of the city and you see different violations that you didn't know that could exist or that you didn't realize. Both programs encourage residents and property owners to maintain their homes and yards to preserve property value and discourage crime, which I think it's one of the most important parts. So I'm close programs. This one is one of my favorite topics to talk about, which is our office and the community engagement office. We work with neighborhood associations, much like yours to form an association. We give presentations and trainings on a variety of city topics. If you would want a presentation for your school, or your civic group, or any other type of group, we'd be happy to come out and speak to you everything that has to do with the city. If we don't know that topic right off the top of our heads, we'll get the right city staff to and help you coordinate with them so that you can set up those workshops for us to be able to come out and educate on city resources. And finally, the community integration office, which is my favorite part because I work for this program, is that we work with neighborhood associations and groups that want to form an association and we offer presentations and trainings on a variety of city topics. If you belong to a group of the school, a civic group, or a group of neighbors, we go to your area, we do a presentation on any topic of the city. If we don't know who that is, we don't know about that topic, we know the person indicated in the city that can do that presentation. And we coordinate with them so that they can lead to their meetings and do that type of presentation. We also help coordinate volunteer efforts to keep the city clean and save and a great place to live. And we help connect you with other city services and resources. If there ever is a problem or concern or office is there to help you coordinate with the right city staff. I know sometimes it can be a hassle to figure out or follow up on a concern that you followed the cost center for so that's what we're there for to help you connect those thoughts or follow up for you as well. We also coordinate volunteer efforts to keep the city clean and save and a great place to live. But we also connect them with city services and resources. We are there to connect them. If you have called the call center and made a complaint, but you don't know what happened, we can connect you with the right department so that you can make that connection with them or with this department. So in our office we do have two community engagement liaisons like speak Spanish, myself included so please use us as a resource. We like to be there for neighbors to help connect you to different city services. So that's the end of our workshop. Right there you see our offices phone number. And, like I said, we're here to answer questions and concerns that you may have. And I think this is the number of the most efficient. We're here to be able to answer. Responding to those questions or those things that have to connect us with the department. And I don't know that we have any questions that I can do double check. Don't see anymore. So I just wanted to thank everybody for joining us. This is our fourth workshop that we've done in the series of four weeks. And I just want to thank every department that has joined us and has been able to give information. We'll be able to find the recordings of every workshop on the city's website. So that's going to be forward to Texas slash Rosamund area and they should be on the website next week so that you can share with your neighbors if they missed out an opportunity to view this workshop. So I just want to thank you all for joining us in the last four weeks and learn more about the city's resources. So we look forward to working with your neighborhood and being a part of the neighborhood improvement program as more updates come about. We'll make sure to get with your neighborhood association but also you may also reach out to me at any point if you have any questions or concerns. about any of the neighborhood improvement program. So namas quería dar las gracias una vez más. Namas quería dar las gracias una vez más. Vamos a tener más actualizaciones así para avanzar al año sobre el programa pero si usted tiene preguntas o quiere conectarse con otro departamento lo podemos poner en contacto con ellos y lo compartiremos con la asociación de vecinos para que ellos también lo puedan compartir. Just want to remind you one last time to make sure that you do the survey that in the comment section.
