Representatives from each organization were invited to present their proposed public service programs for funding consideration at two CRHC public hearings, on January 7, 2020 and January 9, 2020, held from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM on both days. The CRHC Ad Hoc Committee finalized the application review and recommendations on January 15, 2020, and the funding recommendations are summarized in Exhibit 2. The recommended funding amounts for the non- profit organizations for a two-year contract period equals $1,710,346 from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022, with the exclusion of the Orange County Fair Housing Council Inc., which is funded out of program administration, as in previous years, and is not subject to the 15% public service cap. A brief summary of all 32 applications are shown in Exhibit 3. The CRHC, acting with assistance from City staff, made substantial improvements to the CDBG review process this year for our non-profit allocation in order to strengthen the process. Specifically, the commission formed an Ad Hoc Committee to revise the nonprofit CDBG application and scoring criteria matrix. Then, the Ad Hoc Committee and full commission adopted the following three improvements: 1. Adoption of a two-year non-profit CDBG application cycle. This improvement creates more certainty for the City's non-profit partners in regards to their funding. 2. Approval to have an Ad Hoc Committee review and score the non-profit CDBG applications on behalf of the commission and make funding recommendations to the entire commission which will then be recommended by the commission to the City Council. 3. Directed staff to facilitate a study session of the City's funding priorities and strategic plan goals after the Five -Year Consolidated Plan is completed.
