The funding recommendations will provide $1,246,637 to seventeen programs. Of this amount, $53,911 represents a 4.52 percent increase in the Office of Human Services contract base budget. 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:227:01 Page 1 of 6 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Finance Committee recommend to Council that: The funding allocations, as recommended by staff and the HSRAP Allocations Committee (Attachment A), be included in the fiscal year 2001-02 Human Services contract budget. 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 (CMR143:93). In response to Council direction, staff returned with a HSRAP implementation plan (CMR: 118:99). During the past two years, staff and the 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 non-profit providers serving the Palo Alto community, as specified by CounCil in 1993. The City’s Human Relations Commission (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 annual priorities of human service needs for the Palo Alto community. The Allocations Committee, comprised of Human Services staff, Planning Department staff and an HRC Commissioner review and analyze the merits of funding requests and provide funding recommendations based on established funding criteria and annual priority of needs. The HSRAP Allocations Committee recommendations are reviewed by the City administration and are then forwarded to Council for consideration and approval. DISCUSSION The fiscal year 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 annual Priority of Needs for the community that provided guidance for funding recommendations. (Attachment B). CMR:227:01 Page 2 of 6 o o The Request for Proposals (RFP) process has been 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 funding 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. 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 provider 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. HSRAP fiandingrequests 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 $1,246,637. This amount includes a 4.52 percent Cost of Living. Adjustment (COLA) of $53,911 which was added to the fiscal year 2000-01 HSRAP base budget of $1,192,726. The Allocations Committee recommended a three percent COLA or $33,693 dollars for the sole source agencies and agencies recommended for HSRAP funding.. This provided an additional $20,218 to be made available for new services or services previously funded through one-time funding that received a high priority ranking in the HSRAP process. The amount designated to the sole source agencies totaled $878,326. The funding recommendations are as follows: ¯Avenidas, which provides a corriprehensive system of services to senior citizens, was recommended for $439,632. ¯Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC) which administers the City subsidy for child care to low income families was recommended for $431,456. ¯Second Harvest Food Bank, which is the sole provider for food in Santa Clara County and the City of Palo Alto was recommended for $7,238. The funding let~ for HSRAP requests was $368,311. Seventeen nonprofit agencies submitted CMR:227:01 Page 3 of 6 annual funding requests for a total of $589,227. Fourteen non-profits were recommended for HSRAP funding. They are as follows: 1. Adolescent Counseling Service is recommended for $96,289 to provide comprehensive services to students and families in the Palo Alto Unified School District’s secondary schools.

In addition, CTA will continue to provide voicemail to Palo Alto’s non-profit agencies serving the homeless population. La Comida de California is recommended for $18,533 to provide hot meals for Palo Alto’s senior citizens. The agency provides a hot lunch at the Avenidas Senior Center and Stevenson House five days a week. La Comida also provides a hot lunch every Wednesday at the Senior Friendship Day Program at Cubberley Community Center.

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION The City of Palo Alto’s Human Relations Commission (HRC) unanimously passed a two-part recommendation at its March 8, 2001 meeting. The HRC proposes to the City Council that the Palo Alto Mediation Program/Project Sentinel receive on-going non-HSRAP funding in the amount of $66,385 from the General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve for services it provides to the City. The HRC supports using the $51,315 recommended for the Palo Alto Mediation Program/Project Sentinel, to fund the three, agencies, which were not recommended for HSRAP funding. If the City Council does not approve the Palo Alto Mediation Program/Project Sentinel non- HSRAP funding recommendation, the HRC recommends that, in addition to the recommended $51,315 of HSRAP funding, an additional $15,070 is allocated to provide a total of $66,385 which will give the agency its last years base plus a 3 percent COLA ~ The second part of the HRC recommendation requests the City Council provide $35,633 in additional two year funding for Youth Community Services, Senior Adult Legal Assistance and Peninsula Association for Retarded Children and Adults (PARCA) from the City’s General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve. The HRC believes that these three previously funded agencies provide services that address the Priority of Needs. The non-funded agencies should be considered equally for two years of funding at the same level as the recommended agencies. The specific allocation recommendations are provided on Attachment A, RESOURCE IMPACT The HSRAP funding recommendations will provide $1,246,637 to fourteen programs. Of CMR:227:01 Page 5 of 6 this amount, $53,911 represents a 4.52 percent increase in the Office of Human Services contract base budget for HSRAP. The 4.52 percent increase will reduce the General Fund Reserve by $53,911. These changes will be reflected in the Community Services Department proposed budget for fiscal year 2001-02. The changes in the HSRAP process has necessitated staff to revise work activities and focus on assessment and planning. Community activities~. have increased by 75 percent and additional need for administrative support has been required to support this, requiring a reprioritization from other projects. TIMELINE Upon approval by the City Council, staffwill finalize the agency contracts and funding will begin July 1,2001. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This program is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and is not subject to CEQA requirements.

Together we are building a more inclusive and accessible community, which is a benefit 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¯Services that Create a Stable Environment for Youth Second Priority ¯ Child Care for De.vel0Pmentally Delayed Children ¯Community Integration for the Disabled ¯Employment Services for the Disabled ¯Group Homes for the Disabled ¯Recreation Services for the Disabled In answer to these needs, the following three (3) goals have been identified for this program: GOAL 1. GOAL 2. GOAL 3. Expand opportunities for disabled Palo Alto residents to become more fully integrated and participatory citizens in 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 in 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 needs that have been identified by the Cityof Palo Alto. Population Served During FY01/02, CAR expects to serve 985 Palo Alto residents with developmental and other disabilities of all ages arid socio-economic backgrounds. We accept clients based solely on the nature of their 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.

Our goal is that together, these programs will provide young people (grades 6-12) from Palo Alto and surrounding communities with year-round, on-going forums to learn about themselves and their communitt in a consistent and encouraging atmosphere. Regardless of whether the programs take place at schools, community centers or local agencies, students have the opportunity to give back to their ’community through service with the help and support of caring adults and peers. YCS is a collaboration between the City of Palo Alto, City of East Palo Alto, Palo Alto Unified School District, Ravenswood City School District, and YWCA of the Mid-Peninsula.
