Recommendation No action is requested at this time. This report is provided to set the larger context for the Council review of the Proposed Five-Year Consolidated Plan in connection with the receipt of federal funding. Council will review the Housing and Human Concerns Committee recommendations for HSFA for FY 05-06 at budget study sessions in June. Background Priority #2 of the Proposed Five-Year Consolidated Plan for 2005-2010 focuses on supportive services that address the issues of homelessness and housing and respond to basic human needs in our community. For FY 05-06, the HHCC has prioritized HSFA funding to support non-housing "basic human needs", with CDBG funds being used to support homeless and housing services. In December of 2004, the Committee issued a request for HSFA applications reflecting this priority. City staff held two technical workshops for potential applicants to explain the HSFA process and answer any questions. Agencies submit a draft of their proposal before the final deadline. Staff reviewed the draft proposals for completeness and offered comments as to how the appficant could � make the application clearer and/or more competitive. Final applications were due February 4. On March 22, agencies were asked to make a presentation regarding their proposal before the Housing and Human Concerns Committee and answer questions by the Committee. On April 7, the Committee met to consider their funding recommendations for FY 2005-2006. Please note that a white binder with the full agency applications is available in the Council Study. The Committee recommendations forfunding are contained in Attachment I of this report. Attachment I also includes funding amounts received for FY 04-05. Attachment II includes a brief description of each agency and their funding request. Alternative The Council, in June, could choose to change the individual agency recommendations. � Fiscal Impact The HSFA Program is funded with General Fund dollars. The total recommended amount of $193,200 is equal to last year's allocation. The total amount recommended is consistent with the City Manager's recommendation for funding for FY 05-06 to be presented to the Council in June. � � 1 � � Teri Ch Corinne Centeno Ed Evere Human Services Manager PRCS Director City Manager Attachments 1.Committee Recommendations for Funding for HSFA FY 05-06 2.
