The report provides an analysis <br />of applications and a recommended funding allocation. The Human Services <br />Commission recommendation is tentatively scheduled to be reviewed by the City <br />Council in May, along with the recommendation from the Housing Commission <br />regarding HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and Low-Income Housing <br />Funds (LIHF) funds. The City’s final appropriations of federal funding, Community <br />Development Block Grant (CDBG), and HOME funds will be submitted to the U.S. <br />Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by the required May 15, 2024 <br />deadline. FY 2024/25 HHSG funds will be made available July 1, 2024. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Review and allocate Housing and Human Services Grant Funds for Fiscal Year 2024/25 <br />and recommend City Council approval. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City implemented its HHSG program in 2010. The program combined funding from <br />federal CDBG and HOME funds as well as two local sources (LIHF and City General <br />Funds) allocated for human services. These funding sources make up a single, <br />streamlined grant program. <br /> <br />HHSG applications for FY 2024/25 funding were solicited from December 1, 2023 <br />through January 19, 2024. Twenty-seven applications were received by the January 19, <br />2024 deadline, with a total funding request of $1,261,561. <br /> <br />Applications were submitted electronically via the ZoomGrants system, and members of <br />the Human Services Commission were able to review/rate the applications online. <br />Consequently, no printed materials were distributed. Commissioners are requested to <br />print their copies and have them available at the March 6, 2024 meeting as well as any <br />project-specific materials that are desired for review during the meeting. <br />
