| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 (CONTINUED): | PEOPLE CAN THRIVE THROUGH HOUSING, EDUCATION, HEALTH AND WELLNESS, AND ECONOMIC VIABILITY. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D: | ECONOMIC VIABILITY (TOTAL: $455,950; GRANTS: $161,250) Lift Orlando's goal in Economic Viability is to stimulate the neighborhood economy through investments in employment and entrepreneurship programs that increase income levels for families. Lift Orlando continued to work on providing one-on-one financial coaching to residents and families, small business engagement, networking events and marketing, business development services, as well as the research, data, and planning to support this work. Lift's Small Business Institute (SBI) accelerator program, launched in mid-2023, channeled small businesses into its framework, offering one-on-one business development, strategic planning, and subgrants while fostering long-term mentorship and connections. Participants utilized approximately 200 consultation hours and received funding for equipment, marketing, and staffing. Notable beneficiaries included Hebni Nutrition Consultants, which received support for facade renovation; Sunflower Creative Cleaning, which improved its digital presence and business growth; and Legacy Caf, which secured funding for its launch and operational needs. Also, the SBI's bi-annual 14-week cohort launched in September 2023. Facilitated in partnership with The Center for Micro-Entrepreneurship and Training, the program targets local small business owners and is designed to develop business aptitude through interactive education on topics such as value proposition, business law, branding, access to capital, storytelling, and more. Our team received 52 applications to participate in the first cohort. 19 local minority entrepreneurs were selected and participated, including 17 small businesses operated by minority women. For individuals, the West Lakes Financial Wellbeing Center (FWC) continued to provide free one-on-one financial coaching to those living in the ZIP code of 32805. In 2023, 45 residents participated in the Prosperity Platform. Of those participants, 46% completed a budget, 48% increased financial capability/health, and 23% increased savings with an average $4,329 of savings increased. Founded by Lift Orlando, the City of Orlando, West Lakes Partnership, and a group of neighborhood entrepreneurs, West Lakes District continued to work to build public-private partnerships to revitalize West Lakes' small business growth, job creation, and economic activity. Lift Orlando sponsored West Lakes District's Community Play Date in 2023. The community event offered residents and families access to local businesses, sports, play activities, art workshops, art vendors, food trucks, interactive ESports, a Farmer's Market, live performances, and more. HOUSING (TOTAL: $431,057; GRANTS: $59,000; REVENUE: $37,272) Lift Orlando's goal for mixed-income housing is to develop high-quality mixed-income homes that are affordable for residents and attract families back to the neighborhood. Lift Orlando partnered to develop Pendana, Phase I of Lift Orlando's housing strategy, a mixed-income multifamily apartment community which opened in 2018. Lift continues to be actively engaged with the management company of Pendana at West Lakes to facilitate community engagement and desired outcomes in the community. In May of 2020, Pendana Senior Residences (Phase II) started safely welcoming West Lakes seniors age 62 and over. Lift Orlando's partnerships with Seniors First and other community organizations have continued to provide holistic health and well-being programming for seniors. This programming provided nutritionally balanced meals and social activities including a poetry workshop, kitchen apothecary class, memory games, painting, chair stretching exercises, puzzles, chili recipe and tasting, estate planning, a life insurance awareness information session, senior safety, blood pressure discussions, and games such as Bingo, Pictionary, checkers, and more. During these weekly programs, residents have been able to meet and befriend their neighbors and have created a caring and loving community that supports one another. Over 40 activities were held with an average of approximately 20 attendees per activity. Lift Orlando funded West Lakes Partnership (WLP) in their ongoing community beautification project. The West Lakes Residential Paint and Beautification Program works to improve housing stock within The Communities of West Lakes and provides matching grants that support West Lakes homeowners' beautification efforts. The program offers 10-15 owner-occupied homes of legacy residents (who have lived in the neighborhood for at least ten years) up to $3,000 toward home painting and flowers for planting. The program aided 26 of West Lakes homes during 2023. In partnership with the Orlando Housing Authority and with support of the City of Orlando, Lift was awarded the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) FY23 Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant. The 2-year planning process began in late 2023, starting with pre-planning and the formation of required committees and working groups. |
