ALLOCATION PROCESS FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS
REPORT IN BRIEF
This report transmits the Human Services Resource Allocation Process (HSRAP) Allocations
Committee funding recommendations for fiscal years 2003-05 (Attachment A), the Human
Relations Commission’s HSRAP Priority of Needs for fiscal years 2003-05 (Attachment B),
the Human Relations Commission’s HSRAP funding recommendations (Attacbanent C) and
the proposal summaries submitted for funding consideration (Attachment D).
The fiscal 2004-05funding recommendations will provide $1,278,853 to eighteen programs
for the last year of a two- year contract. In past years, the HSRAP allocation has included a
Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase for the recommended agencies. This year staff
recommends a temporary suspension of the CPI increase to the recommended agencies, due
to the down turn in the City’s finances. This will result in no increase to the HSRAP base
budget for 2004-05.
This report discusses funding criteria, rationale, current human service priorities and reviews
coordination efforts with the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)process.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Human Relations Commission recormnend that the Finance Committee
recommend to council that:
1. The funding allocations, as recommended by staff and the HSRAP Allocations
Committee (Attachment A), be included in the fiscal year 2004-05 Human Services
Division’s contract budget.
2.The City Manager or his designee be authorized to execute the Human Services
contracts and any other necessary documents concerning the contracts.
The Human Relations Commission recommends increasing Adolescent Counseling Services
by $15,000 to $106,879 for counseling services in Palo Alto Unified School District middle
and high schools.
BACKGROUND
Since 1983, the HSRAP process has identified community service needs that determine City
funding for human services (CMR: 147:83). In 1993, Council directed staff to review the
HSRAP process for the purpose of strengthening the process and to return with a plan
(CMR:143:93).In response, staff returned with a HSRAP implementation plan
(CMR: 118:99).
The City’s Human Relations Commission (HRC) participates in identifying human service
needs through the information provided by the community at the HRC monthlymeetings and
by hosting community forums. The needs assessment activities assist in establishing bi-
annual priorities of human service needs for the Palo Alto community. The Allocations
Committee is comprised of staff from the Human Services Division, Planning Department
and an HRC Commissioner. The Commi.ttee reviews and analyzes the merits of funding
requests and provides funding recommendations based on established funding criteria and the
bi-annual prioritization of needs. The HSRAP Allocations Committee recommendations are
reviewed by the City Manager and are then forwarded to Council for consideration and
approval.
The 2004’05 funding process included the following six components:
1. Three needs assesslnent activities and a ci~ide forum on disability issues. County and
local needs assessment documents were utilized to assess human service needs in the
community.
The HRC established its annual Priority of Needs for the community that provided
guidance for funding recommendations. (Attachlhent B). HSRAP funding requests were
reviewed to determine if they addressed the community Priority of Needs established by
the HRC for the 2003-05 budget period. Proposals that did not address the priority of
needs were removed from further funding consideration. Funding requests are for a two-
year period only. This is the second year of the two-year period.
CMR:195:0zl Page 2 of 6
The Request for Proposals (RFP) process was expanded to a wider distribution base in
order to reach a more diverse and a greater pool of providers. The RFP was made
available online to increase accessibility to the document.
The HSRAP and the CDBG processes were coordinated to maximize resources and
streamline the City’s human services fianding approach. Coordination involved specifying
what funding requests each fund would entertain, adopting the same request for proposal
schedule and conducting a joint bidder’s workshop for interested non-profit providers.
Palo Alto Mediation Program, Avenidas, Palo Alto Community Child Care and Second
Harvest Food Bank, which provide mediation, senior services, child care subsidies and
food, respectively, were determined to be sole source contract agencies because of the
unique association they have with the City of Palo Alto, and because they met the criteria
as set forth in CMR: 118:99, "Proposed Human Services Resource Allocation Process
(HSRAP) Implementation Plan." Consideration for on-going services may be considered
when the service meets the City of Palo Alto target population needs as described in the
City’s Comprehensive Plan or Consolidated Plan. Services to seniors, children, youth,
conflict/resolution and food were established as priority needs. Sole source agencies are
not required to submit proposals for HSRAP funding, The programs will be reviewed
and contracts renewed contingent upon meeting performance objectives and standards.
At the end of a four-year period, or 2005, staffwill initiate a "Letter of Interest" process
to detenrfine if there are other non-profit agencies interested and capable of rendering the
same quality of services to the City of Palo Alto.
DISCUSSION
