City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: June 18, 2012 <br />Staff Report <br />File Number: 12 -287 Agenda Section: CONSENT CALENDAR <br />Agenda Number: 8.E. <br />TO: City Council <br />FROM: Chris Zapata <br />City Manager <br />BY: Luke Sims <br />Community Development Director <br />FINANCE REVIEW: Not Applicable <br />TITLE: Staff Report for Approving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) <br />Agreements for FY 2012 -2013 Between the City of San Leandro and CDBG <br />Subrecipients For Public Services Grants <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution to enter into eight (8) public <br />services grant agreements with the following service providers: Building Futures With Women <br />and Children (BFWC) ($14,718); Davis Street Family Resource Center (DSFRC) for the Basic <br />Needs Program ($24,530) and for the Community Counseling Program ($7,008); Eden <br />Council for Hope and Opportunity Housing (ECHO Housing) for tenant - landlord counseling <br />services ($10,512) and for the Rental Assistance Program ($5,000); Girls Incorporated of <br />Alameda County (Girls Inc.) ($7,008); Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments (SAVE) <br />($7,667); and Service Opportunities for Seniors, Inc. (SOS) ($7,667). These CDBG projects <br />were authorized by the City Council on April 16, 2012 in the FY 2012 -2013 Consolidated <br />Action Plan. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The six (6) organizations providing the eight (8) public services programs applied for public <br />services funds under the City's FY 2010 -2012 Community Assistance Grant Program (CAP) in <br />January 2010, and with the Human Services Commission's (HSC) recommendation, were <br />approved for funding for FY 2010 -2011 and FY 2011 -12 by the City Council on April 19, 2010. <br />The HSC's CAP recommendations are for a two -year period (FY 2010 -2011 and FY <br />2011 - 2012). However, rather than the release of a Request for Funding Proposal (RFP) for <br />the next funding cycle of FY 2012 -2014, the CAP /CDBG contracts for these eight (8) <br />programs have been extended for one (1) year for FY 2012 -2013 because anticipated further <br />reductions to the CDBG program funding negatively impacted the number and types of <br />services that could be funded. These six (6) organizations have continued to meet and <br />exceed their annual objectives and provide needed services to San Leandrans. <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 611212012 <br />
