Resolution to Approve FY 12 Allocations to Non-Profit Entities for Human Services - $1,159,029.00 (General Fund)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve FY 12 General Fund allocations to non-profit entities for human services, totaling $1,159,029.00. These awards are contingent on City Council's approval of the FY 12 budget which includes this level of human services funding.
On November 4, 2010, City Council approved a coordinated funding process for human services funding in partnership with the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation, the United Way of Washtenaw County, Washtenaw County, and the Washtenaw Urban County. This coordinated funding process includes a Coordination/Planning funding process (United Way and Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation funding), a Capacity Building funding process (United Way and Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation funding), and a Program Operations funding process (City, County, Urban County and United Way funding) in which each process is informed by the others and funders collaborate to ensure efficient and effective investment of both public and private human services funding. The final approval of funding recommended in each of these processes, however, remains under the authority of each partner's board.
The City's FY 12 and FY 13 General Fund investments in non-profit entities for human services are included in the Program Operations component of this coordinated funding process. Implementation of this process began with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), issued in December, 2010, which determined an agency's financial and organizational capacity to manage human services funding and program delivery. Fifty-eight agencies responded to the RFQ and 51 of those agencies were approved to move forward in the application process.
Those 51 agencies that demonstrated financial and organizational capacity were invited to apply to the Request for Proposals (RFP), released in January, 2011, for human services program operations funding in five priority areas: Aging, Early Childhood, Housing and Homelessness, Safety Net Health, and School-Aged Youth. The sixth priority area in the Coordinated Funding process approved by City Council, Hunger Relief, was identified as a sole-source activity due to the unique and system-wide services provided by Food Gatherers, and was therefore not included in a competitive process. The RFP responses, submitted via Community Grants by March 4, 2011 at 3:00 P.M., included 76 applications submitted by 46 agencies totaling $6,580,517 in requested funding.
The Coordinated Funding Review Committee (comprised of three members appointed by the City Council, three members from the Urban County, three members from Washtenaw County, three members from the United Way and three staff members) reviewed the applications and met throughout March and early April, 2011 to make recommendations on the human services funding allocations.
Based on the Coordinated Funding model approved by Council on November 4, 2010, the Coordinated Funding Review Committee is recommending that a total of $4,214,183.00 be allocated to 40 agencies (38 awarded competitively and 2 awarded through sole-source) for the delivery of 65 programs in the following manner:
Funding Source FY 12 Amount
City of Ann Arbor General Fund $1,159,029.00
United Way of Washtenaw County $1,677,000.00
Washtenaw County's General Fund $1,015,000.00
Washtenaw Urban County CDBG funds $ 363,154.00
TOTAL $4,214,183.00
In order to ensure that adjustments could be made to the final recommendations should budget approvals result in changes to the overall funding availability, the Committee also recommended the following:
· In the event of increased funding availability, the funding should be distributed to the top tier of funded agencies proportionally.
· In the event of decreased funding availability, funding should be reduced or eliminated for agencies in the bottom tier by prioritizing proposals that serve the most vulnerable citizens (including those serving the lowest income range, the most underserved parts of the County, and/or the most underserved populations).
The recommendation for $1,159,029.00 in Human Services General Funds assumes a 9% reduction from the FY 10-11 allocations, based on the City Administrator's budget recommendations as submitted to City Council in April, 2011. Additionally, due to reductions at the federal level, the Urban County's CDBG allocation is reduced by 16% from FY 11.
