This would <br />expand the current team from three to four Human Services Specialists. <br /> <br />Staff has developed a partnership with Public Allies Silicon Valley for the placement of an <br />AmeriCorps Public Ally at the Fair Oaks Community Center and secured a two-year grant <br />to fund this pilot. <br /> <br />The addition of the Public Ally will make it possible for the City to better meet the demand <br />for services at the Fair Oaks Community Center and for our permanent, full-time human <br />services specialists to provide targeted "wrap-around" case management for homeless or <br />otherwise at-risk individuals or families. The latter is an important contribution to our own <br />City's efforts assist homeless individuals and families in the context of the county-wide <br />effort to end homelessness (HOPE Plan). <br /> <br />The agreement covers the first year of Redwood City's partnership with Public Allies Silicon <br />Valley. Redwood City will pay to Public Allies Silicon Valley a total of $15,777 in three <br />separate installments toward the Ally's stipend. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />Council could make modifications to the contract or decide not to approve the contract. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />No city general funds would be used to pay for this contract. Sufficient funds have been <br />raised through a grant to pay for the 'c lIy placement. <br /> <br />\ <br />\ <br /> <br /> <br />.,7 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />n..L..I:_ ^H:__ C":I:___ \/_11_,. ^,.,p,."."m........+ <br />r-UUIIl; ,",III~:S .:>1IIl;UII Vdll~Y '"'!:f'eell Clll <br />
