Resolution to Approve FY 09 Allocations to Non-Profit Entities for Housing and Human Services - $1,777,602.00 (General Fund, CDBG and HOME)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve FY 09 General Fund, CDBG and HOME allocations to non-profit entities for housing and human services, totaling $1,777,602.00 in grants.
In response to a formal Request for Proposals issued in February 2007, the City received 57 applications for grant funding from 43 non-profit entities for a total of $2,448,419.00 requested.

o $396,000.00 from CDBG Funds allocation for human services
