To incorporate and address these priorities, staff developed two funding alternatives for the HSC's discussion and consideration as follows: • Alternative A: Human Services Needs Assessment Core Services and HSC Priorities including dental care, primary health care, mental health, food/nutrition, and housing activities, and innovative proposals that demonstrate service coordination and collaboration. • Alternative B: Balanced Distribution of Funding including a traditional funding strategy implemented in prior years based on an attempt to provide some meaningful level of funding to all eligible projects given the fact that generally all of the agencies provide useful and necessary services to the community. For each of the two alternatives, staff provided a potential funding scenario that the Commission evaluated as part of its review and deliberation. As an outcome to this process, the Commission was able to see various funding options that enabled it to make its recommendations.
