Hollister City Manager SUBJECT PROJECT /PROJECT DESCRIPTION MATTER OF APPROVING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) AGREEMENTS FOR FY 2011 -2012 BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN LEANDRO AND CDBG SUBRECIPIENTS FOR PUBLIC SERVICES GRANTS SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution to enter into nine (9) public services grant agreements with the following service providers: Building Futures With Women and Children (BFWC) ($17,373); Davis Street Family Resource Center (DSFRC) for the Basic Needs Program ($28,955) and for the Community Counseling Program ($8,273); Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity Housing (ECHO Housing) for tenant- landlord counseling services ($12,409), for the Rental Assistance Program ($5,000), and for fair housing services ($11,684); Girls Incorporated of Alameda County (Girls Inc.) ($8,273); Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments (SAVE) ($9,050); and Service Opportunities for Seniors, Inc. (SOS) ($9,050). These CDBG projects were authorized by the City Council on April 18, 2011 in the FY 2011- 2012 Consolidated Action Plan. BACKGROUND The six (6) organizations providing the nine (9) public services programs applied for public services funds under the City's FY 2010 -2012 Community Assistance Grant Program (CAP) in January 2010, and with the Human Services Commission's (HSC) recommendation, were approved for funding for FY 2010 -2011 and FY 201 t -12 by the City Council on April 19, 2010. While the HSC's CAP recommendations are for a two -year period (FY 2010 -2011 and FY 2011- 2012), funding for FY 2011 -2012 is dependent upon the City's annual entitlement grant from HUD and the performance of each service provider in FY 2010 -2011. These organizations have continued to meet and exceed their annual objectives and provide needed services to San Leandrans. Similarly to last fiscal year, the CAP Program will be funded solely with CDBG funds as the City is unable to allocate General Funds into the program.
