The commission would provide a recommendation to the City Council in late spring and incorporate the City Council's direction into the next Housing and Human Services Grants Program funding cycle for FY 2023-2024. For all grant options staff is recommending that to be eligible to apply a community benefit organization must: • Be a registered non-profit with the State of California and/or Internal Revenue Service and provide a copy of their non-profit designation letter. (Faith based non-profit organizations are eligible to apply as long as there is a clear delineation between the City funding and religious activities and/or services.) • Have an established Board of Directors and provide a letter from its Board of Directors approving the submittal of a grant application to the City. • Demonstrate a distinct benefit to the Pleasanton community. • Maintain an active Pleasanton business license. RECOMMENDATION City staff is recommending Opportunity Grant noted as Option 1 if the City Council wishes to move forward with providing a grant for community benefit organizations as this option allows for at timely process and provides the Human Services Commission with clear direction. Adding an additional category in the current grants process noted as Option 2 is less favorable as it would require extending the current deadline. Option 3 is not recommended by staff given that this year's grants process is already underway but is an option the Council could consider.
