Resolution to Approve FY14 Allocations to Nonprofit Entities for Human Services - $1,244,629.00 (General Fund)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve FY14 allocations to nonprofit entities for human services, totaling $1,244,629.00. This total allocation is consistent with allocations made in FY12 and FY13 as a part of the initial two-year funding cycle through Coordinated Funding (R-11-205 and R-11-380). City Council approved an additional year of the two-year to extend into FY14 (R-12-470).
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 FY12, FY13, and FY 14 General Fund investments in nonprofit 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 & 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 3pm, 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.
For FY14, the total allocation available decreased. Due to a recent announcement by the federal department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) regarding the adverse impact of federal sequestration, one of five funding sources within Coordinated Funding, the total available for all Coordinated Funding awards has been reduced across-the-board for all funded agencies by 0.08%. On a positive note, to lessen the impact of sequestration and with a commitment to serve the most vulnerable citizens of our community, the AAACF has contributed additional funding for program operations.
Based on the Council-approved Coordinated Funding model, the funding recommendations from the Coordinated Funding Review Committee, and the final budget amounts (as approved by all Coordinated Funding partners; including the City of Ann Arbor), a total of $4,369,102 is recommended for allocation in FY14 for the delivery of human services programs. The total annual budgets for all Coordinated Funding partners are as follows:
Funding Source Annual Commitment
City of Ann Arbor General Fund $1,244,629
United Way of Washtenaw County $1,797,000
Washtenaw County General Fund $1,015,000
Washtenaw Urban County $288,326
Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation $24,147
TOTAL $4,369,102
