BACKGROUND <br />At the April 15, 2008 meeting of the City Council, the Council approved the formation of <br />an Ad Hoc Grants Working Group (Working Group) to carry out a City Council priority by <br />reviewing the City's existing grant programs. Councilmembers Sullivan and Cook- Kallio <br />were appointed and represented the Council on the Working Group. <br />The Working Group met four (4) times from June through October 2008, developing <br />recommendations for the Council's consideration regarding opportunities to streamline <br />and enhance the City's grant process. On June 16, 2009, the City Council approved the <br />Working Group's recommendations as follows: <br />1. Annually adjust the total funding for the City Grant program based on an increase <br />in City General Fund revenue for the preceding fiscal year. <br />2. Adopt a one -year rollover provision for carrying over City Grant funding from a <br />previous grant cycle. <br />3. Establish a coordinated /streamlined grant process with a new rebranded Housing <br />and Human Services grant program that combines general fund City Grant <br />funding for human services with federal grant funds (e.g., CDBG and HOME). <br />(The new Housing and Human Services Grant Program was implemented for the <br />FY 2010/11 funding cycle.) <br />4. Recommend the City Council consider an update to the Human Services Needs <br />Assessment study as part of its Annual Work Plan. <br />At the November 16, 2010 meeting of the City Council, the Council approved a <br />professional services agreement with Resource Development Associates to assess the <br />current and future conditions of the Tri- Valley region's Human Services Delivery <br />Network, identify services gaps and provide recommendations to strengthen delivery <br />efforts and identify service priorities for federal and local grant programs. <br />DISCUSSION <br />In collaboration with the cities of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton, staff began <br />working with Resource Development Associates (RDA) to update the Needs <br />Assessment in November 2010. RDA used a mixed method research approach that <br />included quantitative and qualitative data sources. The 2011 Needs Assessment began <br />with the development of the Eastern Alameda County Human Services Steering <br />Committee, which included diverse leadership from City staff, former elected officials, <br />commissioners and non - profit organizations. The committee was tasked with identifying <br />key stakeholders, review findings, and developing a vision statement to help guide <br />current and future activities associated with addressing human service needs in the Tri- <br />Valley. <br />RDA's analysis included U.S. Census, American Community Survey and Alameda <br />County Social Service Agency data. They conducted 18 interviews with community <br />leaders, 14 focus groups with social service recipients, developed a Hard to Reach <br />Population Survey with over 300 responses, and a Social Service Provider Survey <br />completed by over 70 representatives of 38 regional social service organizations that <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
