Source FY2012/13 FY2013/14 Notes <br /> Funding Funding <br /> HOME $200,000 $100,000 This is an estimate based on the level of supplementation from the <br /> HOME program in recent years. The City also has about$200,000 in <br /> unallocated HOME funds from prior fiscal years; however, the City's <br /> Housing Commission has expressed an interest in developing a <br /> sufficient pool to provide a meaningful amount of funding to a single <br /> housing project in the near future. <br /> LIHF $107,000 $115,000 Increased from prior year to meet increased project requests. <br /> Total $659,187 $580,400 <br /> A summary of the applications received by the January 28 deadline is included in <br /> Attachment 1, Table A (the list also includes the annual payment on the Section 108 <br /> loan that was obtained in 2002 to acquire and rehabilitate the former Family Crisis <br /> Shelter now known as Sojourner House). The original applications were received and <br /> reviewed by the Human Services Commission and the Housing Commission at their <br /> March meetings based on the criteria included in the HHSG guidelines. <br /> Analysis of HHSG Applications <br /> Table A in Attachment 1 provides a summary of Commission and staff <br /> recommendations for consideration in allocating HHSG funds for the FY2013 grant <br /> funding cycle.

As begun last year, the HSC <br /> utilized a computer software program as an additional means of rating and evaluating <br /> grants. In addition, the HSC evaluated projects against the funding priorities it adopted <br /> in November 2012: <br /> • Projects that prioritize the "core services" identified in the recently adopted "2011 <br /> Human Services Needs Assessment" (dental care, primary health care, mental <br /> health, food/nutrition, and housing activities) <br /> • Innovative proposals that demonstrate service coordination and collaboration <br /> Page 3 of 20 <br />
