Allocation of FY 2009-10 ESG Funds <br />April 20, 2009 <br />Page 2 <br />October 2008, a Notice of Funding Availability was mailed to 49 non-profit <br />providers soliciting applications for FY 2009-2010 grant funding. <br />Fifteen service agencies responded with funding requests totaling $546,135. <br />Proposals predominately sought funds to offset program administration, <br />homeless prevention, maintenance and operating costs. <br />On February 4, 2009, the Human Relations Commission conducted applicant <br />interviews to rate and rank the proposals using the following criteria: 1) <br />community need, 2) capacity to provide service, and 3) effective and <br />efficient use of funds. A list of the agencies submitting proposals, the <br />evaluation panel rating, the grant amount for the present year, the <br />requested amount of funding for FY 2009-2010, and the recommended funding <br />for FY 2009-2010 is provided in Exhibit 1. Two of the recommended proposals <br />will fund homeless prevention programs, and twelve will fund essential <br />services and operations. Fourteen proposals are being recommended for <br />funding as follows: <br />ORGANIZATION <br />>Women's Transitional Living Center <br />:Orange County Association for Mental <br />`Human Options <br />SMEDA <br />.WISE Place <br />'.Interval House <br />:Mercy House - Center <br />Thomas House Temporary Shelter <br />;SBC Community Mission Services <br />'Legal Aid Society of Orange County <br />'Mercy House - Emergency Shelter <br />;Laura's House <br />`Mercy House - Transitional Shelters <br />Willa Center <br />;Orange Coast Interfaith <br />Allocation for Essential Services, Prevention & <br />Operations <br />Allocation for Administration <br />Total Budget for 2009-2010 <br />RECOI~Il~~NDATION <br />$38,500 <br />Health $27,000 <br />$18,000 <br />$26, 000 <br />$32,500 <br />$20,500 <br />$35,000 <br />$15,500 <br />$5,000 <br />$9,000 <br />$22, 500 <br />$10,500 <br />$29,000 <br />$11,000 <br />$.00 <br />$300,000 <br />$ 3, 600 <br />$303,600 <br />The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has yet to provide <br />the actual allocation for the 2009-2010 ESG program. Therefore, any <br />amount over or under the anticipated $303,600 will be added to or <br />subtracted from the Administration allocation. <br />The Human Relations Commission recommended funding for organizations <br />that received a score of 21.00 and above, therefore, only one <br />organization was not recommended for funding. <br />25B-2 <br />
