The funding recommendations will provide $1,350,927 to twenty programs. Of this amount, $50,743 represents a one-time increase in the Human Services Division contract base budget. The additional funding will provide the second year of funding for four agencies approved by the City Council to be included in the 200.!-02 HSRAP two year funding cycle. In past years, the HSRAP allocation has included a Consumer Price index (CPI) increase for the recommended agencies. This year staff recommends a 3 percent CPI to agencies which is the same level as 2001-02 fiscal year. This will result in a $39,347 increase to the HSRAP base budget for 2002-03. The report discusses funding criteria, funding rationale and current human service priorities. This report also reviews changes to the HSRAP administrative process and coordination efforts with the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) process. CMR:200:02 Page 1 of 6 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends 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 2002-03 Human Services Division’s contract budget. 2. The City Manager or his designee is authorized to execute the Human Services contracts, and any other necessary documents concerning the contracts. 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 to Council direction, staff returned with a HSRAP implementation plan (CMR: 118:99). During the past two years, staff and the Human Relations Commission (HRC) have worked to implement administrative changes to the HSRAP process. The implementation plan was developed to establish a "service safety net" and to address emerging needs and services gaps in the community. The plan calls for expanding funding opportunities for new services and increases the" service delivery capacity of n0n-profit providers serving the Palo Alto community. The City’s HRC participates in identifying human service needs through the information provided by the community at the HRC monthly meetings 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 Committee 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. DISCUSSION The 2001-02 funding process included the following six components: 1. Three need assessment activities and a citywide survey of residents on community needs. County and local needs assessment documents were utilized to assess human service needs in the community. 2.The HRC established an annual Priority of Needs for the community that provided guidance for funding recommendations. (Attachment B). 3. The Request for Proposals (RFP) process has been distributed more widely in order to CMR:200:02 Page 2 of 6 reach a more diverse and a greater pool of providers. The RFP was made available online to increase accessibility and it was changed to a two-year funding process to increase funding stability for local non-profit agencies. The HSRAP and the CDBG processes were coordinated to maximize resources and streamline the City’s human servi.ces funding approach. Coordination involved specifying what funding requests each would entertain, adopting the same request for proposal schedule and conducting a joint bidder’s workshop for interested non-profit providers. o Avenidas, Palo Alto Community Child Care and Second Harvest Food Bank, which provide senior services, child care subsidies and food, respectively, were determined to be sole source contract agencies because they are the sole providers of the service and/or because of the unique association they have with the City of Palo Alto. These agencies were not required to submit proposals for HSRAP. funding. The programs will be reviewed and contracts will be renewed contingent upon meeting performance objectives and standards. Regularly, at the end of a four-year period, or 2005, staff will initiate a "Letter of Interest" process to assess if there are other non-profit agencies interested and capable of rendering the same quality of services to the City of Palo Alto. o HSRAP funding requests were reviewed.to determine if they addressed the community Priority of Needs established by the HRC for fiscal year 2001-02. Proposals that did not address the Priority of Needs were removed from further funding consideration. Funding requests were for a two-year period only. Council policy, enacted in 1993 (CMR143: 93), limits available funds to $1,350,927. This amount includes a 3 percent CPI or $39,347 and a one-time addition to the base budget of $50,743 that was added to the fiscal year 2001-02 HSRAP base budget of 1,260,837. The additional one-time allocation provides for the second year of funding for four agencies added on a one-time basis to the HSRAP two-year program in 2001-02 by the City Council. The agencies are: ¯Project Sentinel with an additional $15,070 for a total of $66,355. ¯Yout~h Community Service, with $12,360 of funding. ¯Senior Adults Legal Assistance, with $8,280 of funding. ¯Peninsula Association for Retarded Children & Adults, with $15,033 of funding. The amount designated to the sole source agencies totals $904,676 and includes a 3 percent CPI. The funding recommendations are as follows: ¯Avenidas, which provides a comprehensive system of services to senior citizens, was recommended for $452,821. ¯Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC), which administers the City subsidy program for child care to low-income families, was recommended for $444,400. ¯Second Harvest Food Bank, which is the sole provider for food in Santa Clara County and CMR:200:02 Page 3 of 6 the City of Palo Alto, was recommended for $7,455.

RESOURCE IMPACT The HSRAP funding recommendations will provide $1,350,927 to twenty programs. Of this amount, $39,347 represents a 3 percent CPI to the recommended agencies and $50,743 represents a continuation of funding for the four agencies added by the City Council to the HSRAP program in fiscal year 2001-02. The $39,347 and the one-time, $50,743 increase will reduce.the General Fund Reserve by $90,090.

Together we are building a more inclusive and accessible community, which is a bertefit to all of the people residing in Palo Alto, but is especially beneficial to members of the disabled population _and their families. This year, CAR asks the city to consider supporting our Disability Services program that answers seven priority areas of need: First Priority . Day Center Support Services for the Disabled ¯Servic~.s.,that Create a Stable Environment for Youth Second Priority ¯ Child Care for Developmentally Delayed ¯Children ¯Community Integration for the Disabled ¯Employment Services for the Disabled ¯Group Homes for the Disabled ¯Recreation Services for the Disabled In answer tdthese nheds, the following three (3) goals have been identi’t~ed for this program: GOAL 1. GOAL 2. GOAL 3. Expand opportunities for disabled Palo Alto residents to become more fully integrated and participatory citizens ha the community. Advance the quality of life for disabled Palo Alto residents and their families Improve the health and wellness of disabled Palo- Alto Residents ih order to increase their physical capacity.to achieve independence. A total of seven (7) objectives have been set to meet these goals, and they have been designed to increase both service hours and service efficiency for Palo Alto residents in relation to the administration of our programs and our ability to respond to the priority need_s that have been identified by the City of Palo Alto. Population Served During FY01/02, CAR expects to serve 985 Palo Alto ~esidents with developmental and other disabilities of all ages and .soclo-economic backgrounds. We accept clients-based solely on the nature oftheir disability with no regard to economic status£ though many are in the low to moderate income category.. Budget narrative . ... . " The $53,811 that we are requesting from the City ofPalo Aito reflects three basic assumptions. First, we are only seeking funds, to support salaries (excluding benefits) for staff members whose jobs are entirely related to direct services. Second, the amount of money we are asking the City of P.alo Alto to contribute is based on the percentage of Palo Alto residents enrolled in our various programs. And finally, we are only asking Palo Alto to Contribute 25% of the total cost for delivering these services to Palo Alto residents.. The remaining 75% will be funded through fees-for-service and private philanthropy. Funding diversification - CAR receives 50% of its funding through fees-for-service from the state government. The remaining 50% needed to cover the actual cost of our services, is known at CAR as the Margin of Achievement. This margin ensures the continued high quality of CAR services.- The requested city support will help to fund this important Cost difference. In addition to the City of Palo Alto, CAR enjoys the provisions of over 5,000 individual donors and over 60 foundations, corporations and community associations. We also host two special events and manage a vehicle donation program to help provide the vital, high-quality community services for which we have come to be known.
