A maximum of 30 percent of the total, grant may be used for essential services and 30 percent for homeless prevention.

Seventeen service agencies responded with funding requests totaling $479,991. Proposals predominately sought funds to offset program administration, homeless prevention, maintenance and operating costs. On January 14, 2004, an evaluation panel consisting of representatives from the Community Development Agency, the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission, the Human Relations Commission, a non-profit agency that provides services for abused children, and the City's CDBG/ESG consultant conducted applicant interviews to rate and rank the proposals using the following criteria: 1) community. need, 2) effective and efficient use of funds, 3) organizational qualifications and 4) HOO requirements.
