’98 - ’99 City Manager’s Report
TO:HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
ATTN:FINANCE COMMITTEE
FROM:CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY SERVICES
DATE:MAY 12, 1998 CMR: 231:98
SUBJECT:1998-99 HUMAN SERVICES RESOURCE ALLOCATION
PROCESS (HSRAP) FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS
REPORT IN BRIEF
This report transmits staff’s funding recommendations for the 1998-99 Human Services
Resource Allocation (Attachment One) and the summary of proposals recommended for
funding consideration (Attachment Two).
The funding recommendations will provide $1,067,933 to seventeen programs, representing
a 4.2 percent increase in the Office of Human Services contract budget. Adolescent
Counseling Services is recommended for an additional $3,000 to assist the agency in staffing
needs, and PAAIRS Mediation Services is recommended to receive an additional $5,051 to
address reorganizational and administrative needs.
Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC) is recommended for an $8;000 reduction in
funding for 1998-99. For the past three years, PACCC has not expended all of its funding
for child care subsidies. It has returned $16,000 on average per year. The primary problem
is the lack of available subsidized child care slots. Staff and PACCC are working on
solutions to this shortage. Until this issue is fully resolved, staff is recommending an $8,000
decrease in the 1998-99 allocation.

RECOMMENDATION ’
Staff requests the Finance Committee recommend to Council that:
1.Recommended funding allocations (Attachment.One) be included in the 1998-
99 Human Services contract program; and
Human Services contracts, and any other necessary documents conceming the
contracts, be authorized and executed by the City Manager, or her designee.
BACKGROUND
Since 1983, City funding for human services has been determined by identifying community
service needs through the Human Services Resource Allocation Process (HSRAP). As part
of this process, the City’s Humi~n Relations Commission (HRC)participates by providing
information to staff about human service needs and by hosting a community forum. The
community is invited to this forum to help establish the priority of human service needs for
Palo Alto. Staff makes the funding recommendations to Council based on the input from the
HRC and the community.
DISCUSSION
Twenty-one nonprofit agencies requested funding for twenty-four programs through the
1998-99 HSRAP Request for Funding (Attachment Two). The requests totaled $1,405,112.
Council policy, enacted in 1993, limits available funds to $1,067,933. This amount includes
a 4.2 percent Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) over the 1997298 allocation of $1,024,888
(4.2 percent increase is from the Bay Area Consumer Price Index from December 1996 to
December 1997).
Staffrecommends 17 agencies for funding; of these, 14 agencies are recommended for a 4.2
percent COLA over the 1997-98 funding levels. Two agencies, Peninsula Area Information
and Referral Service (PAAIRS) and Adolescent Counseling Services (ACS), are
recommended for increases beyond the 4.2 percent COLA. PAAIRS Mediation Services is
recommended for a $5,051 increase and ACS is recommended for a $3,000 increase. Palo
Alto Community Child Care (PACCC) is recommended for an $8,000 decrease.
The following table classifies staff’s recommendation into eight human service subject
areas. These service/subject areas generally describe the target group or services provided
by each contractor.

Three agencies warrant further discussion:
Adolescent Counseling Services is recommended to receive $3,000 in addition to the
4.2 percent COLA. The $3,000 is for salaries to ensure the agency’s competitiveness in
recruiting certified licensed counselors. In the past, the agency’s salaries were not
competitive, causing staff vacancies that took longer to fill and impacting counseling
services.
PAAIRS Mediation Services is recommended to receive $5,051 in addition to the 4.2
percent COLA. The $5,051 is designated for administrative functions. The agency needs to
increase its capacity to handle administrative tasks. Currently, the Office of Human
Services has been providing administrative assistance by scheduling space for mediation,
handling support for mediation training and performing mediation recruitment tasks. The
additional funds will help to complete the agency’s transition to full independence from City
support of this type.
PAAIRS is providing satisfactory mediation services. The agency has recruited a new
Board of Directors and has implemented a strategic planning process with the goal of
reorganizing and strengthening the agency’s fiduciary, administrative capabilities and
mediation service delivery.
The contract for information and referral services between the City of Palo Alto and
PAAIRS was terminated as of November 30, 1997 (Attachment Three). The contract was
terminated due to PAAIRS’ decision to discontinue information and referral services to the
community, and concentrate on mediation services to both the City of Palo Alto and the City
of Mountain View. The City of Mountain View is very supportive of this effort and has
increased its PAAIRS allocation for next year by 11.5 percent. The City of Mountain View
would like to work with the City of Palo Alto to strengthen the agency’s capabilities.
A strategic plan will be submitted to the City of Palo Alto and the City of Mountain View
staffs by the end of April 1998.
Palo Alto Communi .ty Child Care (PACCC) is recommended for an $8,000 reduction in
funding for 1998-99. For the past three years, PACCC has not expended all of its funding
for child care subsidies. It has returned $16,000 on average per year. The primary problem
is the lack of available subsidized child care slots. Staff and PACCC are working on
solutions to this shortage. Until this issue is fully resolved, the staff is recommending an
$8,000 decrease in the 1998-99 allocation.
CMR:231:98 Page 5 of 6
RESOURCE IMPACT
The HSRAP funding recommendations will provide $1,067,933 to 17 programs, which
represems a 4.2 percent increase in the Office of Human Services Contract budget. This
$43,045 increase will be reflected in the Community Services Department proposed budget
for fiscal year 1998-99.
TIMELINE
¯ ARer final approval by the City Council, staffwill finalize the agency contracts and funding
will begin July 1, 1998.

1.Program Summary: Describe how the program serves Palo Alto residents, and how the program
would effective!y utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
In fiscal year 1998-99, the On-Campus Counseling Program will serve the Palo Alto community
by providing a comprehensive array of services at the secondary schools. Services will include "
individual, family and group counseling as well as targeted outreach to Latino students and families. At
the high schools, we will also serve as Community Counselors, coordinating site-based programs,
providing crisis counseling and referral-services. The program is. a collaborative effort between ACS
and the Palo Alto Unified School District. Our Latino Outreach Counselor collaborates with the Palo
Alto Recreation Department, the Department of Human Services and the Police Department in order to
provide mentoring, recreation, employment training and placement.
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined areas of need and
explain why your program most appropriately addresses the need.
The On-Campus Counseling Program helps make the secondary s’chools in. Palo Alto more
responsive to the individual needs of students andfamilies. The program recognizes that students can
only succeed in the classroom when their emotional and developmental needs are met. Problems such as
academic stress, depression and substance abuse are addressed head-on by licensed mental health
professionals and highly supervised and trained interns. Our Latino Outreach Counselor works with
students who often face these jssues compounded by cultural difference and economic hardship.
Adolescent Counseling Services has successfully run the On-Campus Counseling Program since 1980.
This past year, we successfully took over administration of the Community Counseling Program at the
~high schools.~. Target Population: Describe the target populatlon served by the proposed program. Include
geographic area, and the number of Palo Alto residents served.
The On-Campus Counseling Program will reach 575 students and their family, members during
fiscal year 1998-99. The Latino Outreach Counselor will reach 125 students and family members. The
Community Counselors will provide services to more than 300 students andparents. Approximately
eighty-six percent of clients will reside in Palo Alto. Other cities represented will include Los Altos,
Menio Park, Atherton, East Palo Alto, Redwood City and Mountain View. We anticipate that more
than 85% will be between the age of 12 and 44. The approximate ethnic breakdown of clients will be:
26% white; 26% Hispanic; 6% Asian; 1% Pacific Islander; 12% African-American; 1% Native
American; 7 % "other.
4. Budget Narrative: D.escribe how the requested program funds will be used. Include progr~
positions and program expenses.
$69,951 from the City of Palo Alto will cover part of the salaries of the -liddnsed mental health
professionals who administer the On-Campus Counseling Program and also serve as Community
Counselors at the two high schools. Support will also cover a portion of the salaries of our Lati-no
Outreach Counselor and the cost of agency administrative support. This includes a portion of the salary.of the Executive Director, Associate Director, Development Assistant, Administrattve Assistant, and
Accountant. Other expenses in-clffd-e miscellaneous costs sucti as phone, mileage, printing and
advertisements.
5. Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
In ’fiscal year 1998-99, Adolescent Counseling Services will continue to raise funds from a
variety of sources, public and private. Public sources of support will include county, city and school
districts; we anticipate that these sources will increase by cost of living. Foundation and corporate
grants will total $111,000, a 32 % increase over 1997-98. We anticipate that individual donations will
increase to $165,321, a 20% increase over 1997-98. The new Development Assistant will help make
these increases happen. We have requested increased funds from United Way to help pay for the Latino
Outreach Counselor. In-kind support will remain steady. Increased marketing efforts will result in more
clients in the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program and more fees-for-services, we anticipate an
increase from $71,175 in 1997-98, to $88,171 in 1998-99.

This project provides outreach and linkage services to residents of
Palo Alto who are homeless and have mental illness. The goal of the
program is to reach out and help people obtain counseling, housing,
benefits, and employment from existing community resources. Staff
may support individuals until they begin this process or as needed to
insure stability once other community resources are in place. We
staff sites where the target population already congregates for
other reasons. Any memember of the community can initiate a referral.

Approximately one third of the people who are homeless fit our target
population. The existing community resources to assist with counseling
benefits, housing and jobs are minimal. Access is a problem due to
lack of bnformation,--followthrough, restrictive and/or confusing
application procedures, transportation, stigma and a host of other
complex variables. Support from our Homeless Outreach Counse!or can
help with barriers to a person receiving and accepting assistance.

We target our services to adults who are homeless and have mental

whom will have unmet mental health needs. We plan to support, follow,
and refer at least 33 people for services. We will monitor and report
anticipated (approx. 25) individuals who follow through with referrals.
The population is all low or very low income. It is ethnically diverse.

Clearly and concisely summarize your request. Use the space provided on this page onlv.
1.Program Summary: Describe how the program serves Palo Alto residents, and how the program
would effectively utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
Our ,Homeless Prevention Program assists families remain in housing and avoid becoming
homeless due to a one time financial crisis.
We collaborate with Housing Industry Foundation, Salvation Army, and other agencies,
often combining funds to help meet a family’s needs. Referrals are also provided to the Food Bank,
Saint Vincent De Paul and Catholic Charities.
2.Area of Need." Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined areas of need and explain
why your program most appropriately addresses the need.
Family services: The premise of the program is simple: it is far more cost effective, both in
terms of dollars and human lives, to stabilize families in permanent housing, than it is for them to
face eviction, to locate shelter space, and to accumulate sufficient funds for relocation. No other
agency provides casework for rental assistance in Palo Alto.
Information and referral services: Referrals are made to agencies for clients needs beyond
the scope of our program.
3.Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
geographic area, and the number of Pa[o Alto residents served.
Our objective is that 29 low-income Palo Alto near-homeless families will receive financial
assistance and/or counseling to maintain permanent housing.
4.Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program
positions and program expenses.
Salary and benefits for one full-time and one part-time caseworker position will be partially
funded by this grant. This grant will also assist with the phone and utilities to support the program.
The program budget for FY 98-99 is $67,892. Other sources of funding will also support these
positions and provide funding for additional program expenses.
Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
Our Chapter budget for FY 1998-99 is $1,445,076. In order to meet these goals, the Chapter
has a diverse fundraising base that includes the following: foundation support ($50,000
committed to date for FY 98-99), corporate support, special events, direct mail, individual and
major gifts.

PROGRAM TITLE: Computerized Learning Therapies: Training for PAUSD Educator8
’AMOUNT OF FUNDING REQUEST: $45.040 for ONE YEAR ONLY Program
RECEIVED ORIGINAL
JAN 0 5 1998
Clearly and concisely summarize your request. Use the space provided on this page on_K!y_l.Office of Human~ervices1. ~’rogram Summao~: Describe ho~v the program serves Palo Alto residents, and how the program
would effectively utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
This proposal seeks funding to enable the CHC to share its resources of knowledge and expertise in the
area of computer aided learning therapies, with educators of Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD)
through a staff development program which will increase the capacity of PAUSD to serve their
population of students with learning difficulties. By definition, the program is collaborative in nature
and will build on the already close relationship which exist between the CHC and PAUSD. The project
is an outgrowth of an identified need on the part of PAUSD which was articulated to the CHC. While the
benefits of the program will extend over many years, the project requires only one year of funding.
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined areas of need and
explain why your program most appropriately address the need.
The project described will address the OHS defined areas of need of Youth services and Services
for persons with disabilities by making accessible to students with learning difficulties throughout
PAUSD the critical and proven successful computer learning therapies employed by the CHC. The
CHC is the natural provider of such services to PAUSD as this agency has been addressing
students’ with learning disabilities needs for over 20 years. The CHC staff consists of experts in
Speech/Language Pathology and Educational Specialists who are uniquely qualified to train others
on these state-of-the-art learning therapies. The program will focus on the most commonly
presented learning issues by students at PAUSD.
3.Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
geographic area, and the number of Palo Alto residents served.
As the program targets only those teachers within PAUSD, all those students who benefit from the services
subsequent to training will be Palo Alto district students. In any given 6 month period, approximately 15-20
of the CHC’s clients in the learning lab are PAUSD students. Theoretically, all students with learning
difficulties within the PAUSD will be served by this program over an open-ended time period. Realistically,
within the one year of funding, students mentored by all 60 program participants will be served.
4.Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program
positions and program expenses.
The $45,040 requested for this program will be expended by both CHC and PAUSD and will be
used for software ($16,000), staff release time for PAUSD program participants ($15,840 in teacher
release time), and CHC staff (one manager and three one speech/language therapist, and two
education specialists) preparation, training, and program evaluation time ($13,200).
5. Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
The CHC maintains aggressive and attainable fundraising goals for this fiscal year (September 1, 1997-
August 31, 1998) and will continue to budget in accordance.with our increasing need to serve children and
families who can not afford to pay for services and who are not covered by insurance or MediCal.
Individual giving through CHC’s annual fund and major donor programs, event revenue, and corporation
and foundation grants account for $1,225,000, or approximately 30% (and growing portion) of the
agency’s revenue with the remainder ($3,775,000) generated by fees for services, county MediCal
contracts, county Short/Doyle funding and the State Ed Code which covers the majority (but not all) of the
CHC School’s expenses and an additional $610,000 generated through endowment revenue.

1. Program summary: Describe how the program serves Palo Alto residents, and how the program
would effectively utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
The Clara-Mateo Alliance: Shelter, Rehabilitation & IntegratedServices, established in July 1997, is a
regional collaboration that currently includes the US Department of Veterans Affairs, The Salvation Army,
Santa Clara County, San Jose, Palo Alto, Redwood City, San Mateo County, and over 40 community
service providers. The Alliance works collaboratively with service providers and policy makers to improve
access to existing medical, psychiatric, substance abuse, vocational, and supportive services.
The Clara-Mateo Alliance is proposing expansion of services to include more Palo Alto residents and
service providers in fiscal year 1998-99. The shelter is expanding from 40 to 64 beds, adding services for
families, and expanding case management for the homeless who do not have a service plan or treatment
provider. The shelter is located on VA property in Menlo Park. It operates year round with 24-hour staff.
Both emergency and transitional beds are available.
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined area of need and explain why
your program most appropriately addresses the need.
The Santa Clara County of Continuum of Care 1997 for Homelessness identifies that 800 emergency and
422 transitional shelter beds are needed beyond current inventories. The sub-populations with the
greatest need are victims of domestic violence, chronic substance abusers, veterans, and seriously
mentally ill. The Clara-Mateo Alliance targets the chronic substance abusers,, veterans and the seriously
mentally ill. This project also advances Palo Alto’s Consolidated Plan for public services.
3. Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
geographic area, and the number of Palo Alto residents served.
A total of 669 homeless single men, women, couples and families will be served annually. In the first 75
days of operation, the 94 homeless persons served included: 58% reported a current substance abuse
problem; 36% had a psychiatric disorder other than substance abuse; schizophrenia was the most.,
common psychiatric disability; 35% of residents had lived in Santa Clara county in the past 12 months;
and 55% had achieved their goals by discharge. The Alliance serves the homeless with disabilities, ’
including wheelchair dependents.
4. Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program positions
and program expenses.
The Clara-Mateo Alliance is requesting City of Palo Alto for a commitment of $10,000 as a portion of the
¯ total cost of $562,030. With the increased in beds, from 40 to 64, an additional case manager position will
be added. The requested amount will pay for .33 FTE position for a case manager. City of Palo Alto will
be contributing the cost of 1.2 bed per year, with one bed costing approximately $8,000 annually. The
disbursement of the $10,000 would be tied to serving a minimum of 19 City of Palo Alto homeless
residents for a total of 687 bed-nights. More homeless individuals and families from City of Palo Alto may
be serve at no additional cost.
5. Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
Clara-Mateo Alliance has a diversified funding raising plan that includes: (1) application to all CDBG and
ESG entitled agencies within the bi-county area, (2) application to foundations and corporations for
grants, and (3) direct fundraising through The Salvation Army mail campaigns and special events. The
multi-jurisdictional policy board includes county and city homeless coordinators that can advise the
project of funding opportunities.

Swim Program live in Palo Alto. In 1996-97, 2,300 individuals received
education and training under the auspices of the C.A.R. Community
Education Program. The Swim Center collaborates with numerous Palo
Alto agencies and the Community Education Program partners with many
media organizations and local businesses in Palo Alto (see proposal,
section 7, pp. 9-10).
=
Area of Need:
The Betty Wright Swim Program serves Palo Alto residents by providing
the only swim facility between San Francisco and San Jose that is
completely accessible, maintains a water temperature of at least 90 degrees
F, is available for use by any person with a physician’s referral, and which
guarantees individual attention to any person that requires it. For these
reasons, the Swim Program fits the OHS defined areas of need for services
for persons with disabilities, youth services, and senior services. The
Community Education Program provides education about disabilities to
residents of Palo Alto through tours, presentations, newsletters, videos,
and other educational tools and satisfies the OHS information and referral
services defined area of need.
Target Population:
34% of those individuals who participate in C.A.R.’s direct service
programs live in Palo Alto. The Betty Wright Swim PrOgram serves
about 1,600 persons with developmental and other disabilities each year.
Swimmers range in. age from 3 months to 90+ years and represent a wide
range of ethnicities. An estimated 35% have low income. The
Community Education Program seeks to provide education about
disabilities and training on prevention to at least 1,500 persons in the
community.
Budget Narrative:
C.A.R. requests $29,483 from the City of Palo Alto’s HSRAP grant funds to
support a portion of the operational costs ofl two of C.A.R.’s programs:
$20,402 to assist the Betty Wright Swim Program and $9,081 to assist the
Community Education Program.
5.Fundraising:
Funding for the Swim Program includes the State Department of
Developmental Services; the United Way; private fees; individual
donations; grants from corporations, foundations, and associations; and
support from the City of Palo Alto. In addition, C.A.R. mounts a Swim
Program fundraiser every year that raises approximately $15,000. The
Community Education Program relies upon two main sources of support,
the United Way of Santa Clara County and the City of Palo Alto.

1) Program Summary: Describe how this program serves Palo Alto Residents and how the program
would effectively utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
Family Service Mid-Peninsula is proposing to assume the Information and Referral (I&R) services
formerly provided by PAAIRS. This program, which we have tentatively named "Resource Palo Alto"
will allow all Palo Alto residents to get information on thousands of human service providers with one
phone call or via e-mail. Our agency has over 20 years experience providing information and referral, as
well as crisis intervention, on our Parental Stress Hotline and TeenLine. We currently maintain a
computerized database of over 1,500 agencies and service providers from around the Bay Area. Our goal
is to publicize the Resource Palo Alto program to each of the 25,000 households in the City of Palo Alto.
We plan do this through collaborations with City Departments and/or utilities who regularly mail to these
households.
2) Area of need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined area of need and explain why
your program most appropriately addresses the need.
Resource Palo Alto directly addresses the Information and Referral Services need area defined by the
Human ServicesResource Allocation Process. Family Service Mid-Peninsula is uniquely qualified to
take on this service for a number of reasons:
We have demonstrated experience and the established infrastructure necessary to provide
these services
We have been providing services to Palo Alto for almost 50 years
,, Family Service Mid-Peninsula is a strong, respected, well-managed agency, with a balanced
mix of funding sources
Our services are available from 9:00 a.m. to midnight every day of the year.
3) Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
geographic area, and the number of Palo Alto residents served.
Our target is every person who lives in Palo Alto who needs access to human services. According to the
census approximately 60,000 people, in 25,000 households.
4) Budget Narrative: Describe how the requestedprogram funds will be used. Include program
positions and program expenses.
We are requesting $45,000 for this program, an increase from the funding of the last year of PAAIRS
I&R. This funding will provide a half-time program manager devoted to this program, with a small
amount for administrative support and supervision. City funding wilt also provide for the printing and
postage necessary to make this service known to residents. The remaining portion of funding will cover
a small fraction of our fixed costs.
5) Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for fiscal year 1998-99.
Family Service Mid-Peninsula. has stable and balanced funding. Approximately 60% of our revenues
come from earned income (service fees and contracts). Another 20% comes from the United Way of
Santa Clara County (including allocated and designated funds). A small amount comes from endowment
interest. The remaining 18% comes largely from fundraising appeals and special events.

1 ) Program Summary: Describe how this program serves Pale Alto Residents and how the program would effectively utilize existing
resources through collaborative efforts.
Family Service Mid-Peninsula’s Single Parent Network program (formerly" Single Parent Services" offered by the Pale Alto Red
Cross) provides counseling and support services to single parents and their families. These services are designed to increase family
stability, prevent child abuse and neglect, and reduce the isolation and stress many single parents experience.
Our mission states that we provide programs and promote partnerships that strengthen families. These partnerships may be between
our agency and others, between our clients and other agencies and/or professionals, and between our clients themselves. This is our
commitment to collaboration.
2) Area of need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS def’med area of need and explain why your program most
appropriately addresses the need.
This program addresses a number of OHS priorities including: Family Services, Women’s Support Services, and Violence Prevention
Services (specifically child abuse and neglect).
Over the past decade there has a been a 20% increase in the number of single parent households. Many single parentslive with a
great deal of stress caused by the high cost of living, lack of spousal support in household activities and child care, and a lack of
extended family connections. This stress raises the potential for child abuse and neglect.
The SPN program offers a broad spectrum of services to our clients to reduce social isolation, increase parenting skills, and address
the individual mental health needs of each family served.
3) Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include geographic area, and the number
Pale Alto residents served.
The target population for this program includes anyone who is raising a child alone. This includes both biological, adoptive,or foster
parents as well as any non-parental guardians (i.e. grandparents, aunts or uncles with primary custody). We expect to serve 185 Pale
Alto residents in some way through this program.
4) Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program positions and program expenses.
HSRAP funding will be used to fund staff’mg and outreach efforts of the Single Parent Network. Direct service is being provided by
registered Marriage, Family and Child Counselor Interns, each of whom require at least two hours of weekly clinical supervision by a
licensed therapist. Funding will cover this cost. We will produce and mail a newsletter sent to 500 single p.arent households and other
agencies. Funding will cover a portion of this also. Additionally, we believe this pro.gram is a tremendous i’esouree that is being
underutilized. HSRAP funding would allow us to expand our offerings and make services available to a larger number of single
parents.
5) Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for fiscal year 1998-99.
Family Service Mid-Peninsula has stable and balanced funding. Approximately 60% of our revenues come from earned income
(service fees and contracts) Another 20% comes from the United Way of Santa Clara County (including allocated and designated
funds). A small amount comes from endowment interest. The remaining 18% comes largely from fundraising appeals and special
events. We will match City of Pale Alto funding with these moneys. We have also applied for renewal of Santa Clara County
Funding specifically for this program.

Reaching this goal, set at the annual retreat in March 1.997, is expected to take three years
and to change the primary focus and membership on the Board of Directors.

1.Program Summao’: Describe how the program serves Palo Alto residents, and how the program
would effectively utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
Palo Alto residents are more "hooked up" than ever before. In the next couple of years there will be even more
cable TV channels, more web sites, more "wired" schools, and city installed fiber optics to bring greater
transmission speeds to users. A city with vision should seize the opportunity to develop community based,
community focused, and community building applications on these media. The alternative will actually result in a
deficit to our sense of community, as we sit in front of screens whosecontent is designed to take us far away for
entertainment, education, and even social connections,
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined areas of need and
explain why ~ our program most appropriately addresses the need.
MPAC’s Community Communications Services Program will create a local creative forum and outlet for PaloAlto
youth, with a biweekly program series and televised coverage of numerous youth events. There will also be
coverage of events for seniors, the disabled and homeless. The programming will be developed in accord with a
communications assessment of these target groups. Social Service agencies and city departments will have a new
resource for disseminating information via the interactive computer system we will install on Channel 77. With
the launch of a community computer online conference, bolstered by a cadre of training and support volunteers
and a very enjoyable conferencing software, many groups, such as youth, seniors, parents, and the homeless,

(cont. from #2) will have limitless opportunities to find each other and communicate about mutual interests. For
those without computers there will be public access terminals around town.
Nearly half of all Palo Alto households have cable TV while over half are estimated to have internet access:Youth
at all local schools will be targeted for MPAC’s youth series, while every Palo Alto social service agency and non-
profit will be targeted to use the info channel. All Palo Alto residents will be encouarged to use the community
conference and all residents are eligible to use public access TV facilities.
4. Budget Narrati(~e: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program
t~ositions and t~ro~ram ext~enses. A Contractor will assist MPAC Board and Siaff coordinate a
communications assessment of targeted community populations. A staff producer will manage a youth series,
along with 10 - 20 volunteers. An Intern Coordinator will develop an intern program which will result in
coverage of 36 community events yearly. An Information Channel Coordinator will manage four volunteers and
develop an interactive computer-generated information channel for non-profits, city departments, and job seekers.
A Conference Coordinator will oversee the efforts of 30 volunteers whowitl launch the community.online
conference. The Staff Producer will also assist City departments to create programming. Two Playback Operators
will oversee the transmission of community programming over the cable system. A Studio Technician will
oversee additional studio production hours to meet public demand.
5. Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
(cont. from #4.) All positions, but one, are part time. The requested funds will cover 2.66 FT/E and amount to
62% of the total new program costs. Additionally, volunteers will provide $46,000 worth of time in the new
programs to be implemented.

1.Program Summary: Describe how the program serves Palo Alto residents, and how the program
would effective!y utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
The program ensures full and equal access to the complete spectrum of hospice services for terminally-ill
Palo Alto residents and their families. ¯ Our programs exist in collaboration with medical professionals,
physician groups, area hospitals, senior centers, skilled nursing facilities, residential facilities for the
elderly. Daffy interactions keep us informed of emerging community and individual needs and provide us
with continual feedback regarding our success in meeting those needs. ¯ In the continuum of care, when
curative treatment is no longer appropriate, our services provide the opportunity for people’s final days to
be lived in comfort and dignity, and to help the family cope at this difficult time.
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined areas of need and
explain why your program most appropriately addresses the need.
The areas of need: seniors and families. Comprehensive, compassionate end-of-life care is a pressing social
and medical need. Hospice serves both the patient and the family, creating an opportunity to transform a
time of pain, sickness and loss to one of comfort, dignity, acceptance and healing. ¯It is vitally importantthat people in the community are well-informed about hospice as an alternative to pain and suffering at the
end of life, and that they have access to the comprehensive services that can have a profound impact at this
extremely important time. ¯ MidPeninsula Hospice is highly respected in the community. We were founded
in Palo Alto, and have served families here for 20 years. We have structured our organization to provide the
highest quality qare and services, and are in the best position to serve this population.
3.Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
geographic area, and the number of Palo Alto residents served.
Our target population is terminally-ill Palo Alto residents and their families. We plan to,~131
families, for approximately 4323 patient days. Eighty percent of the terminally-ill individuals
will be seniors. ¯ All of our services will be available to all residents for whom hospice is
appropriate. The funding we seek from the City will benefit especially, but by not exclusively, those
with financial needs.
Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program
positions and prograda expenses.
Program funds will be used to: 1) bridge the gap between the cost of comprehensive services and
insurance reimbursement (hospice team member expenses, medicines, medical supplies and
equipment, etc.); 2) professional services of home health aides for the Home Alone and Family
Respite programs; 3) counselors and bereavement coordinator for the Bereavement Program; 4) a
Facility Educator for the programs in nursing facilities and residential care facilities for the
elderly; 5) nurses for the Nurses On-Call Team, and social workers for the Bereavement program; 6)
community education expenses (media costs or other expenses).
5. Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
Our fundraising activities will include: 1) major donor campaign; 2) two annual mail campaigns; 3)
memorial gift solicitation; 4) our annual awards breakfast; 5) our resale store; 6) proposals to
¯ corporations, foundations, churches and local governments; 7) car donations and sales; 8) workplace
giving; 9) employee giving. We need to reach out to new sources of revenue to meet the declining
reimbursements and growing needs for comprehensive hospice services.

Operation Brown Bag is a self-help program assisting very low-incomeseniors with their food needs. Senior volunteers, many of whom are
program members, help provide services when possible. Primary
services include weekly food distribution, nutrition and consumer
safety classes, and a quarterly newsletter. Each week, an average

13 items of fresh, frozen, and packaged food at the Palo Alto site
at the Ventura School.
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined areas of need and
explain why your program most appropriately addresses the need.
Operation Brown Bag addresses the Office of Human Service’s need

volunteer at neighborhood sites and at the Food Distribution
Center to reduce isolation.

The average age of the membership is approximately 74 years old,
and continues to increase. The Palo Alto distribution site is at
the Ventura School, 3990 Ventura Court, and serves 146 senior
households (representing 211 individuals).
4.BudgetNarrative: Descfibehowtherequestedprogramfundswillbeused. Includeprogram

1. Program Summary:
SCC programs - including the Senior Center of Palo Alto, Senior Day Health Program, and Senior Home
Repair Service - are core programs that meet the needs of all Palo Alto older adults residents, in compliance
with the long-time City/SCC contract. This contract, found within the lease agreement for 450 Bryant Street,
calls for the SCC to be "the primary provider and consultant for the rendering of services to senior citizens
in the community". The SCC also provides information on the ne.eds/interests of older adults through its
research efforts and the publicity it generates about older adults. The SCC is committed to providing
services that address the health, independence and enrichment ofPalo Alto’s older adults and meet the needs
of family caregivers. As the primary provider, with a history of serving seniors since 1969, the SCC works
with others, such as the City’s Recreation Department, Palo Alto Adult School, Urban Ministry, Alliance
for Community Care and Outreach, to insure that resources are being used wisely.
2. Area of Need:
The SCC primarily addresses the "Senior Services" area of need, although caregiver support services address
some "Family Services" issues. The SCC offers a broad array of more than 50 services. One set focuses
on the services that enable seniors to stay at home living independently (case management, transportation,
housing counseling, home repair services, etc.) and to maintain their health (health screenings, Senior Day
Health Program). Other services address the desire of older adults to remain active, vital members of the
Palo Alto community through education, volunteer and social/recreation activities.
Given its primary location in downtown Palo Alto with an accessible second site in south Palo Alto for the
frail elderly, its history of providing services needed by the community, its market research that insures
needs are being identified and addressed and its financial support from external sources, the SCC is well-
suited to continuing to address these needs.
3. Target Population:
While the SCC serves the Mid-Peninsula, its primary client base is in Palo Alto. Each year more than one-
half of the 6,000-plus individuals served by the SCC are Palo Altans. The targeted population is those
individuals 50 and older and family caregivers, but more than 90% of the SCC’s clients are 65 and older.
4. Budget Narrative:
More than 87% of the grant request supports direct staffcosts because the SCC can only serve older adults
with capable staffand dedicated volunteer support. The total grant request of $407,929 will be allocated in
the following manner: $358,128 for salary, benefit and payroll tax support (47 staffpositions will be partially"
funded through the grant); $11,000 for Senior Home Repair subsidies (to replace CDBG funding); $8,100
for publications; $13,780 for building maintenance; and $16,921 toward insurance. Total expected expenses
for the programs included in the proposal are $2,299,641.
5. Fundraising:
The SCC expects to secure well in excess of $500,000 in community ~upport, with close to 65% coming
from individual, donors and the remainder from foundations, corporations, the Lifetimes of Achievement
benefit, and other fundraising vehicles. In addition to securing community fundraising support, the SCC will
receive funds from the United Way of Santa Clara County, the Corporation for National Service (U.S.), Santa
Clara County, Council on Aging of Santa Clara County, Veterans Administration, City of Mountain View,
and, most importantly, client fees.

Concisely summarize your request. Use the space provided on this page O_Q.O_y_~.
1.Program Summary: Describe how the program serves Palo Alto residents, and how the
program would effectively utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
This request is for operations support for the Casa SAY .runaway and homeless youth shelter
located at 509 View Street in Mountain View and funding to promote and expand "Safe Place"
locations and outreach services for Palo Alto youth. Casa SAY’s Palo Alto and surrounding cities
"Safe Place" will reach at-risk youth who have runaway, who are frightened, or otherwise
vulnerable to becoming victims or perpetrators of violence and crime. Our focus is on developing
a network of local service entry points throughout neighborhoods where at-risk youth
congregate.
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined areas of need and
explain why your program most appropriately addresses the need.
Casa SAY provides the only crisis youth service in North County offering a comprehensive
residential and counseling program specifically targeted to youth and families in crises. Currently,
there are only two programs offering these types of services in the County, Casa SAY in Mountain
View and the Bill Wilson House in Santa Clara. In the past year, Casa SAY has seen an increase of
referrals from Palo Alto police. Because of the short-term nature of the residential program, efforts
are initially directed towards providing a safe place for youth to go. There they receive crisis
counseling and shelter, if necessary, and our staff work on stabilizing the home situation,
returning the youth home, if possible, by providing needed support to the family.
3.Target Population : Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
geographic area, and the number of Palo Alto residents served.
The target population is runaway and homeless youth in Santa Clara County. For reasons of family
instability, coupled with the youth’s own psychosoeial turmoil, conflict often erupts with local youth
fleeing their homes. Once on the streets, they often turn to crime to survive or become victims of
crime. We thus focus our efforts on removing youth from the streets as quickly as possible. We
anticipate serving 100 Palo Alto youth during 1998-99.
4.Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program
positions and program expenses.
The current City of Palo Alto request of $I0,O00 is I% of the total project cost. Palo Alto revenues
will be used to offset the administrative costs of running the project.
5. Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
Casa SAY has a well-developed and diversified base of funding. Most sources are ongoing through
grants and contracts. Future funding enhancements will include our annual campaign for donations,
solicitation of individual large gifts, a new planned giving initiative, and proposals to foundations and
corporations.

2. Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined area of need and
explain why your program most appropriately addresses the need.
Domestic violence is a problem that affects all segments of our society, regardless of ethnic, economic,
religious and cultural boundaries. Local law enforcement agencies spend thousands of dollars each year on
domestic violence cases. The statewide Law Enforcement Information Center reported that in 1995, Santa
Clara County law enforcement agencies received 8,850 domestic violence-related calls. In FT" 1996-97,
119 domestic violence related calls were reported in the City of Palo Alto and in 77 of these cases, weapons
were involved. The Support Network provides critical services and programs to survivors of domestic
violence.
3. Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
geographic area, and the number of Palo Alto residents served.
Clients are primarily battered women and their children. Last year, the Support Network answered 364
crisis calls from Palo Alto residents, assisting 51 Palo Alto residents/913 total County residents through
our crisis services, legal and residential services. Our community education programs reached 802 Palo
Alto teens, community services organization and church members out of 9,942 total County residents. Our
clientele consists of the following ethnic breakdown: 46% White; 33% Hispanic; 8% Asian and Pacific
Islander; 7% African American, 1% Native American and 5% other.
4. Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include
program positions and program expenses.
The Support Network for Battered Women is requesting $25,000 from the City of Palo Alto to help
Subsidize the expense of providing critical services to Palo Alto residents. The total project cost is
$61,512. The staff involved will be from the following programs: Counseling Services (Crisis/Clinical),
Shelter Services, Legal Advocacy and Community Education and Prevention.
5. Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
The Support Network’s fundraising plan includes increasing solicitation of corporations and foundations;
proposals to local, state and federal governments; special events such as our Annual Domestic Violence
Awareness Month Luncheon; and individual donor solicitations through direct mail appeals and personal
solicitations. The Support Network is fortunate to have varied streams of revenue, including: local, state,
and federal governments; the United Way; foundations; corporations; and individuals. All municipalities
located in our service area of Santa Clara County show their support by allocating moneys from their
CDBG and/or general funds. We also receive funds from the County of Santa Clara Department of Social
Services and from marriage license fees, the State Office of Criminal Justice Planning.

Program Summary: Describe how the prbgram serves Palo Alto residents, and how the program
would effectivelY utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
The AIDS Prevention Program (APP) at the YWCA of the Mid-Peninsula served over 1200 young people
in Palo Alto during the 1996-97 school year through its 5 components: classroom outreach, peer education,
street outreach, the Young Women’s Forum, and Outlet. APP is a well respected member of the Palo Alto
community, having established relationships and formed collaborations with the Palo Alto Red Cross, Palo
Alto Unified School District, Castilleja, Mid-Peninsula High School, Keys School, The Teen House, Youth
Community Service, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, The Safer Summer Program, Foothill College,
Stanford University, and Hobee’s.
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined areas of need and
explain why your program most appropriately addresses the need.
The AIDS Prevention Program addresses a diversity of issues but best fits under the "Youth Services" area
of need as defined by OHS. The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate of any developed
country. One out of four sexually active teens gets an STD for a total of 3,000,000 cases of STDs each
year. APP most appropriately addresses this need because our focus is on prevention, not crisis
intervention. Because information alone is not sufficient, our classroom workshops, peer education, and
support groups, empower youth with the life skills and critical thinking necessary to avoid activities which
put their sexual health at risk.
3. Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
APP primarily serves youth in middlean~ high schools, but we also.reach a significant number of college
students, parents, and other community members. APP’s main service area is Santa Clara County but we also
provide services in San Mateo, San Francisco and Alameda County. Due to our location in Palo Alto, we have
our strongest bonds with the youth and agencies in this community. Consequently, we spend a significant
portion of our time, energy and resources in this community. During the ’96-’97 school year in Palo Alto, APP
served 1079 youth with 3005 client hours of classroom workshops, 58 teens through the Young Women’s
Forum. and 16 youth through the first 6 months of Outlet, trained 11 classroom peer educators, trained 16
street outreach educators and reached 73 youth through street outreach. These numbers are, without a change
of focus, approximations of the numbers of people we expect to serve each year in Palo Alto.
4.Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program
positions and program expenses.
APP is presently made up of 3 staff positions: Director, Assistant Director and Workshop Presenter. All 3
of these positions support the work that we do in Palo Alto. We are requesting a total of $20,000 from the
city of Palo Alto for the AIDS Prevention Program, Half of this amount ($10,000) will go to the salary of
the Assistant Director who runs the YWF and Outlet in addition to presenting classroom workshops and
participating i~ street outreach and peer education activities. The other half will be divided equally
between the salaries of the Director and the Workshop Presenter for their work in the classroom, with peer
educators and out in the community.
5. Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundrais’mg plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
Our 19.98-99 fiscal year fundraising plan is to secure $1,257,000 from the following diverse
sources: Foundations/Corporations ($275,000), Individuals and Service Clubs ($150,000),
Special Events ($50,000), Government Agencies ($220,000), YW membership dues ($5,000),

Program Summary: Describe how the.p.rograrn serves Palo Alto residents, and how the program
would effectively utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
The fred-peninsula YWCA Rape Crisis Center provides Palo Alto residents with vital intervention and
prevention services, including a 24-hour, 365 day a year crisis line, individual and group counseling for
survivors of sexual assault and their families, hospital, police and court accompaniment, information and
referrals, community education progran~ for adults, children, and teenagers and seW-defense classes for
adult w~men and teenage girls. The Center works closely with local law enforcement and other social
service agencies to provide cross-training, information and referral resources for our clients.
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined aceas of need and
explain why ),our program most appropriately addresses the need.
The Mid-Pminsula YWCA Rape Crisis Crater is the only agency providing sexual assauR intervention and
prevention services to adults and children in Palo Alto and northern Santa Clara County. The most recent FBI figures
tell us that 1 In 3 women will be the victim of a sexual assauh in her lifetime. Our work during the last 23 years
shows us that the City of Palo Alto is not immune fi’om this national trend. Rape is the most underreperted crime;
perhaps this is due to the fact that acquaintance rapes account for approximately 80% of all rapes accomplished. In
FY 96-97, the Center worked with nearly 300 serial assauR sm’vivors, some 119 of whom Identified themselves
as being from Palo Alto. The vast majority of the Palo ARo sm’vivors told us that they did not report their assaults
to law mi’orcement, mainly due to a lack of confidentiality. The Rape Crisis Center’s 24-hour crisis line meeZs a
very real need by victims who may not feel that they can report their crime.
3.Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
geographic ace% and the number of Palo Alto residents served. ’
The Rape Crisis Center’s target population includes adults and children in northern Santa Clara County,
the cities w serve include Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills, and Palo Alto. The
Rape Crisis Center served over 12,000 persons in FY96-97. Approximately 75% of those clients who
provide us with financial information are low to very low income. About 75% are Caucasian, 6% are
Hispanic, 4% are African American, 6% axe Asian American and about 9% are unknown. In FY 96-97,
the Mid-Peninsula YWCA Rape Crisis Center provided services to 2,786 residents of Palo Alto
including crisis services to 119 sexual a~ault survivor~.
Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program
positions and program, expenses.
The Mid-Peninsula YWCA Rape Crisis Center’s funding request to the City of Palo Alto is $15,000. The
requested funds wuuld be used to support $6,125 in salaries plus related payroll taxes, benefits and
apportioned overhead for tw~ positions which provide direct services to Palo Alto clients and coordinate
additional services. These sen~ices include individ~af~unseling, support groups,community education
programs, and the Teen Assault Prevention Program. Clients who identify themselves to us as pelo Alto
residents comprise approximately 24% of the total clients served annually through overall agency services.
5. Fundraising: Stfrnmariz~ your agency’s fundraising pl~ for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
Fundraising for the Mid-Peninsula YWCA’s Rape Crisis Center includes proposals to current funders
such as the Of~ce of Criminal Justice Planning (state of California), United Way, the cities of Sunnyvale,
Palo Alto and Mountain View, and private individual donors. We also intend to explore private
foundation funding. The Mid-Peninsula YWCA solicits private donor funding by the use of a direct mail
campaign, a portion of which benefits the Center. Two yearly Rape Crisis Center newsletters are mailed to
approximately 3,000 previous donors in hopes of their continued support. A portion of our revenues come
from clients who are able to offer nominal dollar amounts as fees for counseling and workshop services.

Clearly and concisely summarize your request. Use the space provided on this page only_. ,
1.Program Summary: Describe how the program serves Pale Alto residents, and how the program
would effectively utilize existing resources through collaborative efforts.
YCS requests support from the City of Pale Alto for the Community Service and Leadership Program.
Through the program students meet each week at school-based community service clubs. The students work
with a teacher sponsor and a college student to assess needs in the community and implement service projects to
meet those needs. In 1996-1997, YCS operated ten community service clubs in East Pale Alto, Menlo Park
and Pale Alto. These club activities involved 500 students in 7,500 hours of direct service at 60 local
community agencies. In addition, ¥CS mobilized 350 students from the twelve schools for six large-group
service projects, leadership trainings and workshops. YCS is a collaboration between the City of Pale Alto,
City of East Pale Alto, Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford University, Pale Alto Rotary Club, Pale
Alto Unified School District, Ravenswood City School District and YWCA of the Mid-Peninsula.
2.Area of Need: Summarize how the program addresses an OHS defined areas of need and
explain why your program most appropriately addresses the need.
Pale Alto youth are experiencing high levels of substance abuse and academic stress. East Pale Alto youth are
challenged by high dropout rates, substance abuse, unemployment and crime. Both Pale Alto and East Pale Alto
young people lack interracial opportunities to work for community improvement. By mobilizing students to learn
leadership skills and serve their communities the YCS Community Service and Leadership Program directly
addresses the OHS youth service area of need.
Many community agencies depend on volunteers to accomplish their goals. By placing students at over 60 local
community-based agencies, the program addresses other OHS areas of need sudh as homelessness, child care, senior
services.
Target Population: Describe the target population served by the proposed program. Include
geographic area, and the number of Pale Alto residents served.
The Community Service and Leadership Program is free of charge and open to all students at participating schools.
Last year 500 students participated in some aspect of the program. Of these, 350 were from Pale Alto and 150 from
East Pale Alto. Half of YCS participants are middle school students and half are high school students. Over 80% of
all YCS participants are girls. The ethnicity of the students involved in YCS includes: 27% African American,
25% European American, 24% Asian American, 12% Latino/a and 12% other.
Students serve at 60 community based organizations. Thirty-two of these agencies are 10cated~in Pale Alto.
Budget Narrative: Describe how the requested program funds will be used. Include program
positions and program expenses.
The $20,000 that YCS requests is 18% of the $108,470 that has been budgeted for the Community Service and
Leadership Program. The requested funds support a portion of the program coordinator’s salary. Additional program
expenses include the remainder of the full-time program coordinator’s salary, a portion of the director’s and office
coordinator’s salary as well as stipends for nine YCS Teacher-Sponsors and eight YCS College Student
Coordinators. YCS partners continue to offer in-kind support including office space, printing, transportation,
computer services, meeting space and supplies. YCS requests an increase in funds for two reasons: (1) YCS
programs continue to expand dramatically and several major grants are limited in duration.
5. Fundraising: Summarize your agency’s fundraising plan for Fiscal Year 1998-99.
As programs have expanded, YCS’s financial needs have also grown. To address this issue, YCS received a
management assistance grant of $23,600 from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation in June of 1997. A
professional funding consultant is helping YCS design and implement a long-term fund development plan. Since
receiving the grant, YCS has undertaken several key activities to ensure long-term financial stability: (1) cultivating
individual donors; (2) creating an "Adopt-an-Activity" component for corporations; (3) approaching other clubs and
service organizations for support; and (4) creating a direct mail program.
