Expected HHSG Funding Source FY2011/12 FY2012/13 Notes Funding Funding HOME $170,000 $200,000 This is an estimate based on the level of supplementation from the HOME program in recent years. The City actually has about $350,000 in unallocated HOME funds from prior fiscal years; however, the City's Housing Commission has expressed an interest in developing a sufficient pool to provide a meaningful amount of funding to a single housing project in the near future. LIHF $93,000 $95,000 This is an estimate based on the level of supplementation from the LIHF to the CDBG program in recent years. Subtotal: $263,000 $295,000 [Funding available for allocation by the Housing Commission] Total $602,610 $647,187 Total HHSG Program Funding A summary of the applications received by the January 23 deadline is included in Attachment 1, Table A (the list also includes the annual payment on the Section 108 loan that was obtained in 2002 to acquire and rehabilitate the former Family Crisis Shelter now known as Sojourner House). The original applications were received and reviewed by the Human Services Commission and the Housing Commission at their March meetings based on the criteria included in the HHSG guidelines. Analysis of HHSG Applications As in prior years, staff is pleased with the quality of applications received and the extent to which they demonstrate the broad scope of services provided to the community. The review process followed by the Housing Commission (HC) and Human Services Commission (HSC) was generally similar to last year. As begun last year, the HSC utilized a computer software program as an additional means of rating and evaluating grants. In addition, the HSC evaluated projects against the funding priorities it adopted in November 2011: • Projects that address basic life needs (food, shelter, medical/dental care) • Innovative programs and services that meet emerging needs/trends • Projects that demonstrate service coordination and collaboration • Agencies that are based in the Tri-Valley or provide unique services in the Tri-Valley To incorporate and address these priorities, staff developed two funding alternatives for the HSC's discussion and consideration as follows: • Alternative A: Focus on Basic Life Needs including food, shelter, and medical/dental care, and the following: • Innovative programs and services that meet emerging needs/trends • Projects that demonstrate service coordination and collaboration • Agencies that are based in the Tri-Valley or provide unique services in the Tri-Valley Page 3 of 11
