DISCUSSION In July 201 1 , the City of Santa Ana will be awarded Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds in the approximate amount of $300,000 by HUD. These funds are made available to states, counties and municipalities to support emergency shelter programs for the homeless. Eligible uses include renovation of emergency shelter facilities, essential services to the homeless (e.g., food and health care), and homeless prevention. A maximum of thirty percent of the total grant may be used for essential services and thirty percent for homeless prevention. Since fiscal year 1987-1988, the City has actively participated in the ESG program to provide funding to the homeless service organizations. In November 2010, a Notice of Funding Availability was mailed to 48 non-profit providers soliciting applications for FY 201 1-2012 grant funding. 251-1 Allocation of FY 2011-12 ESG Funds March 21 , 201 1 Page 2 Fourteen proposals were submitted from thirteen organizations with funding requests totaling $469,600. Proposals predominately sought funds to offset program administration, homeless prevention, maintenance and operating costs. On January 1 1 , 201 1 , an ad hoc committee (comprised of two commissioners from the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission, one representative from the Orange County's Community Services-Homelessness Prevention Department and one City staff) conducted applicant interviews to rate and rank the proposals using the following criteria: 1) community need, 2) capacity to provide service, and 3) effective and efficient use of funds. A list of the agencies submitting proposals, the evaluation panel rating, the grant amount for the present year, the requested amount of funding for FY 2011-2012, and the recommended funding for FY 2011- 2012 is provided in Exhibit 1. Two of the recommended proposals will fund homeless prevention programs, and twelve will fund essential services and operations- All fourteen proposals are being recommended for funding as follows: ORGANIZATION Dayle McIntosh Center Human Options Interval House Laura's House Legal Aid Mercy House-Emergency Shelter Mercy House-Transitional Shelters Orange County Mental Health Association SMEDA Thomas House Veterans First Villa Center Wise Place WTLC RECOMMENDATION $ 7,000 $ 15,000 $ 24,000 $ 10,000 $ 10,000 $ 34,000 $ 28,000 $ 22,000 $ 22,000 $ 15,000 $ 25,000 $ 10,000 $ 26,000 $ 37,000 Allocation for Essential Services, Prevention & Operations $ 285,000 Allocation for Administration (5%) $ 15.000 Total /Anticipated Budget for 2011-2012 $ 300,000 The U.
