Consider recommendations from the Human Relations Commission for Grants- In-Aid funding and determine the appropriate level of City support for 1992-93. 2. Adopt a resolution authorizing staff to develop and execute agreements with each Grants-In-Aid recipient as outlined in Exhibit "A" and inclusive of any modifications made by Council during the public hearing. DISCUSSION: Background In January of this year, the Human Relations Commission (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 Telegram-Tribune. In addition, prior year grant recipients were sent notices advising them of the 1992-93 Grants-In-Aid process. A mandatory workshop was subsequently held for all prospective applicants to review the changes to the grant application, reiterate the HRC's expectations for application content and format, and answer any questions of applicants. Vice Mayor Rappa and Councilman Roalman, liaisons to the HRC, attended the workshop and provided the applicants with their perspective on the Grants-In-Aid process. Completed Grants-In-Aid applications were due to the City in February. The HRC received twenty-nine applications, with total requests for funding exceeding$181,000 (this compares to twenty-seven applications requesting over $173,000 in 1991-92). Three of the agencies requesting monies were new to the process. The 1992-93 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 to thoroughly review the applications and formulate preliminary grant recommendations. The subcommittee's preliminary recommendations were then presented to the full Commission for action during the HRC's regular April meeting. During the April meeting, the Commission reviewed the subcommittee's recommendations, modified them as necessary to reflect group consensus, and set a public hearing to present the recommendations to the applicant agencies. /�3 - 1 a�Illllil city of sanis oBispo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Page 2 i HRC - GIA Funding With respect to the 1992-93 process, the Grants-In-Aid subcommittee was composed of Randy Baudendistel (who served as chair), Fran Fura and Joan Lawrence. In conducting their review, the subcommittee evaluated the applications against the Council adopted HRC Grants-In-Aid criteria (See Attachment 3) and the draft Human Needs Assessment findings (See Attachment 4). The subcommittee developed their recommendations under the assumption that $89,700 would be available for the 1992-93 process (of which $5,000 would be left in reserve to address uncertainties that may arise during the year). Funding Recommendations A public hearing was subsequently held on April 22, 1992 to formally present the i Commission's 1992-93 Grants-In-Aid recommendations to the applicant agencies. During this meeting, all applicants were given an opportunity to address the HRC regarding their j recommendations. The hearing lasted less than an hour and went extremely smoothly. While- some agency representatives expressed a desire for additional monies, all recognized the financial constraints the Commission was operating within. As a result, the HRC unanimously adopted their recommendations as presented and directed staff to forward them to the Council for consideration. Specifically, the HRC's 1992-93 Grants-In-Aid recommendations: * total $89,700 ($84,700 in allocated grants and $5,000 in reserve). * provide funding to 28 of the 29 requesting agencies with grants ranging from $450 to $12,000. * do not provide funding to one agency (ECOSLO - while it provides very worthy services, the City has already allocated $40,000 to this organization in the 1991- 93 Financial Plan), provide funding to two new agencies (Life Steps and Senior Peer Counseling). i * attempt to provide slightly more funding to those agencies that serve the top listed needs in the draft Human Needs Assessment. * provide slightly reduced levels of funding to several organizations so that monies could be made available for new applicants and additional monies could be allocated to those agencies that provide priority services identified in the draft Human Needs Assessment. l6 2 l�i'�i�f�►l�lillllllll �!��IIU City of san ' - 'Is OBISPO COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT I Page 3 HRC - GIA Funding The following chart provides a listing of the NRC's recommendations for the 1992-93 Grants-In-Aid process (a more detailed discussion of individual grant recommendations can be found in the Attachment 2): ADOPTED REOUESTED RECOMMEN.

Summary of Findings: Answers The good news is that most San Luis Obispo residents say this is a good place to live. Most were satisfied with theircommunity and the services It provides. Even when answering questions about problems in the community, city residents surveyed by phone were most likely to respond that the city's problems were moderate, and few. The bad news is those most satisfied with the community were also those with the most money. Those at the low end of the economic spectrum were most likely to be having a variety of problems, and to see the city - and themselves - as having major social service needs. The social service providers and Key Informants who help social service users generally noted the same problem issues as their clients. However, all people surveyed generally agreed when it came to ranking the most pressing human problems in the city-the problems which are affecting everyone, top and bottom of the economic spectrum alike. The surveys, discussion groups, and interviews pointed to the following areas as those seen by the community as most pressing for San Luis Obispo: t. Not Enough Affordable Housing 2. Homelessness 3. Unemployment 4. Lack of Affordable Medical and Mental Health Care 5. Drug and Alcohol Abuse problems 6. Lack of Affordable, Quality Child Care 7. Teen Pregnancy (Problems are ranked with the worst at the top.)
