<br /> <br />3 <br />DSAL further developed its Youth Soccer Program and its Youth Development project <br />known as Furthering Youth Inspiration. <br /> <br /> <br />DSAL INITIATIVES OF 2022-2023 <br />• The DSAL will continue to enhance its social enterprise urban agriculture project <br />Dig Deep Farms & Produce (DDF&P) with grant funds from Kaiser Permanente, <br />the Eden Township Healthcare District and the San Francisco Foundation as well <br />as support funds from the Byrne JAG Local award allocation. The DSAL has <br />hired 35 local residents, primarily at-risk young adults, as urban farmers. These <br />individuals have built a farming-and-produce sales enterprise that has grown to <br />more than 500 individual customers and restaurants and is approaching self- <br />sustainability. DDF&P currently receives funding from the Alameda County <br />Community Development Agency, the Kresge Foundation and the United States <br />Department of Agriculture. DDF&P has received land commitments of up to 30 <br />additional acres from a private land owner and the Alamed a County General <br />Services Agency. <br /> <br />• The DSAL Exercise is Medicine project, funded through a grant from Kaiser <br />Permanente, is modeled upon a national initiative launched in November 2007 by <br />the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Medical <br />Association (AMA). Exercise is Medicine is focused on encouraging primary care <br />physicians and other health care providers to include exercise when designing <br />treatment plans for patients. Exercise is Medicine is committed to the belief that <br />exercise and physical activity are integral in the prevention and treatment of <br />diseases and accordingly should be regularly assessed as part of all medical <br />care. The DSAL Exercise is Medicine creates a process by which students from <br />San Lorenzo Unified schools, local health clinics, Juvenile Hall and the Sheriff’s <br />Office Youth and Family Service Bureau will be referred to a Fitness Case <br />Manager, who will assess the needs and interests of individual youth and refer <br />them to a menu of physical fitness and recreational activities offered by the DSAL <br />and its partners. Menu options currently include swimming, track and basketball <br />and will soon include activities ranging from boxing to dance to yoga. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Description and Use of Funds <br /> <br />Computation <br /> <br />Amount <br /> <br />Project Staff I.
