TOTAL: $415,251 City General Fund Allocation for Human Services In 2009, the City Council established a base allocation of $130,000 from the General Fund for the Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) program to enhance funding for human services. [These funds were formerly part of the "City Grant" program.] At the same time, the Council adopted a policy to increase this allocation on an annual basis according to increases in the City's General Fund. The resulting annual allocations for the past five years are shown in the table below: FY Allocation Percent Increase (based on GF growth) 13/14 $160,000 --- 14/15 $164,280 2.7% 15/16 $172,162 4.8% 16/17 $185,626 7.8% 17/18 $199,251 7.3% For the first time since the revised HHSG program was introduced, the Human Services Commission funding recommendation FY 2017/18 includes a relatively large number of applications (8 applications with a $124,930 aggregate funding request) that are recommended for zero funding. This approach was felt by the HSC to be necessary in order to address an overall funding shortfall of approximately $400,000 (i.e., the gap between aggregate funds requested and funds available from all sources) even though it meant that five of the agencies would not receive any HHSG funding at all for the coming fiscal year.
