Recommendation to Allocate Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) Funds for Fiscal Year 2015/15 Mr. Erickson reviewed with the Commission information regarding the City's Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) program, the amount of funding available for allocation, and the funding sources. He advised that a total of 24 applications had been received by the January 26 deadline, and the four (4) applications that fell within housing guidelines had been reviewed by the Housing Commission at its meeting of March 19, 2015, with funding allocations being recommended for those four applications. Commissioners were advised by Mr. Erickson that human service funding recommendations would be allocated from CDBG funds and the City General Funds. He noted that five agencies that had submitted applications the previous year had not submitted an application for this year, and three new agencies and/or projects had been submitted for this funding cycle. Mr. Erickson also advised that several agencies that had submitted multiple applications had been asked to rank their projects in order of agency priority for funding. A pie-chart summarizing the applications by category and funding request was reviewed by Mr. Erickson with Commissioners. He also provided them with details regarding the two applications for Axis Community Health and the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program that were considered Capital/Rehab projects that could be funded through CDBG. Commissioner Roby discussed with Mr. Erickson the additional $6,000 available for human services based on recent growth in the City's General Fund.
