Resolution to Approve FY 11 Allocations to Non-Profit Entities for Human Services - $1,275,744 (General Fund)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve FY 11 General Fund allocations to non-profit entities for human services, totaling $1,268,092 in grants with a $7,652 human services contingency.
In response to a formal Request for Proposals issued in January, 2009 for the Integrated Human Services funding (including City of Ann Arbor General Funds and Washtenaw Urban County Funds), the Office of Community Development received 67 proposals for grant funding from 47 non-profit entities for a total of $3,773,435 requested. Of these 67, 3 proposals were delivered after the deadline and an additional 6 proposals were rejected for incomplete or inaccurate submissions.
The Request for Proposals indicated that funding awards would be for FY 10 and FY 11, contingent upon City Council and Urban County approval each year. The Joint Human Services Review Committee (comprised of three members appointed by the City Council, three members from the Urban County and three Community Development staff members) reviewed the proposals and met throughout February and March, 2009 to make recommendations on the human services grant proposals.
Based on the integrated funding model presented to Council on December 15, 2008, a Joint Human Services Review Committee was formed, and is now recommending that a total of $1,718,144 be allocated to 35 non-profit organizations in the following manner:
Funding Source
City of Ann Arbor General Fund $1,268,092
(for Human Service Contingency) $7,652
Washtenaw Urban County CDBG Funds $343,000
(Including City of Ann Arbor portion)
Washtenaw County's General Fund $100,000
Total $1,718,744
The recommendation for $1,275,744 in Human Services General Funds is the same level as the level allocated by City Council in FY 08 and FY 09. The 35 agencies recommended for funding by the Joint Review Committee will receive a combined total of $1,268,092 in City General Funds, with $7,652 in the total human services allocation remaining.
The Washtenaw Urban County Executive Committee reviewed these funding recommendations on May 25, 2010 and they were approved unanimously.
