DISCUSSION Background The Human Relations Commission (HRC) held a Public Workshop on November 1, 2000 to gather information on the current social needs of the community for the 2001-02 Grants-In-Aid cycle. The Commission had been operating from a list of priorities developed through a 1990 needs assessment and utilized the recommendations generated at the Workshop to update the existing priority list. In addition, the Healthy Communities Survey report was used to assist in identifying high priority social service needs to guide the HRC in the allocation of grant funds. In December of 2000, the HRC began its annual Grants-In-Aid process. Notices advertising the availability of grant monies for local service organizations that provide human and social services in the City were placed in The Tribune. In addition, prior year grant recipients were mailed grant applications and information for the 2001-02 Grants-In-Aid process. An Application Information Workshop was held in early January to review and reiterate the NRC's expectations for application content and format and answer any questions from applicant agencies. Completed Grants-In-Aid applications were due to the City on February 12, 2001. The HRC received 35 applications requesting $186,588 in funds which is an increase of three grants and $46,350 from the previous year. The 2001-02 grant applications are available for Council review in the City Clerk's Office. Review Process Upon receiving the grant applications the HRC convened a subcommittee composed of Trish Avery, Bill Tyson and Paul Wolff, who served as chair, to thoroughly review the applications and formulate preliminary grant recommendations. The subcommittee's primary recommendations totaling $108,900 were presented to the Commission in April. In addition the Council Agenda Report—HRC Grants-In-Aid Funding Recommendations Page 2 and formulate preliminary grant recommendations. The subcommittee's primary recommendations totaling $108,900 were presented to the Commission in April. In addition the subcommittee made recommendations for GIA distribution of $139,500 representing a GIA funding increase (over the $108,900) request made to the City Council, that had not yet been approved. Agencies were invited to hear the subcommittee recommendations as they were presented to the HRC. After discussion, adoption of the recommendations was placed on the agenda for the HRC's May meeting. At the May meeting, with minor changes made to the higher funding($139,500) allocations, the recommendations were adopted. After a public hearing in early June, Council approved an additional $10,000 (this equated to approximately one third of the original $30,600 additional funding request) in GIA funding be included in the 2001-03 budget. This brought the 2001-02 total amount to $118,900. At the June 6, 2001 HRC meeting the Committee voted to allocate the additional $10,000 among the applicants not receiving full funding. The results – 24 agencies will receive funding closer to their requested amount. Funding Recommendations Specifically, the HRC's 2001-02 Grants-In-Aid recommendations: • Provide for the disbursement of the full $118,900 as included in the Financial Plan for Grants-In-Aid, leaving no contingency funds available for the coming year. Total grant amount requested- $186,588. • Provide funding to 33 applicants with grants ranging from$1000 to $10,075. • Provide funding to five new agencies; they are: The Assistance League; Easter Seals- Lymphedma; Lifespan-Senior Peer Counseling; Project Health for "Health Works" and United Cerebral Palsy – Ride-On Transportation. A more detailed discussion of the individual grant recommendations can be found in Attachment 3. • Not fund a request from the Central Coast Assistive Technology Center in the amount of $17,028, which equated to 60% of a project budget for Special Access Funds and a Community Outreach Services Program. The request (which was their first) was considered too high for the number of City residents (possibly 6) that would be served. In addition the entire Board of Directors resides outside of the County of San Luis Obispo. Programs that benefit more City of San Luis Obispo residents for fewer dollars better fit the criteria of the GIA program. • Not fund a request from Changing Faces Inc. in the amount of $12,000 for staffing, administration, training and supplies for a program that would assist "At Challenged' youth. It was estimated that this $12,000 would be used to assist only six City residents. The program is located in Santa Barbara County where the members of the Board of Directors reside. Programs that benefit more city residents for fewer dollars better fit the criteria of the GIA program. 2 f Council Agenda Report—HRC Grants-ln-Aid Funding Recommendations Page 3 Contracts Upon Council adoption of grant amounts, staff will enter into contracts with each of the qualified organizations.
