EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANT PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION TO
DISPERSE FUNDS AND ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS FOR FY 1994-95
On February 21,1994, the Mayor and Common Council approved an application to the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for $89,000 in Emergency Shelter Orant
Program (ESOP) Funds. The Mayor and Common Council approved the application and HUD
awarded funds for FY 1994-95 on March 23,1994, to be effective July I, 1994.
Emergency Shelter Orant Program (ESOP) funds can be used by eligible non-profits for a variety
of homeless service activities, including: shelter rehabilitation, essential services (food provision,
transportation), homeless prevention, operations and agency administration. Agencies receiving
these funds most show the ability to provide high quality service delivery; satisfy the HUD ESOP
matching funds (dollar for dollar) requirements; and address identified community "needs" in
conjunction with this assistance.
To award the funds, a Request for Proposals (RFPs) was released in August 1994 to solicit
applications for the ESOP funding. A total of thirty (30) RFPs were distributed and a total of
three (3) applications received. The applications were submitted by agencies that have
demonstrated, over many years, their experience and capacity to serve the homeless and their
ability to ensure compliance with community needs identified in the Comprehensive Housing
Assistance (CHAS) Plan and the HOME Ownership Investment PartrJership (HOME) application.
Based upon this criteria, staff carefully reviewed the number of clients served by each applicant,
the type of service provided and the amount of funding requested, and recommended the
following distribution of the $89,000 grant:
- Frazee Community Center;
- Option House:
- The Salvation Army;
$45,000
$20,000
$24.000
$89,000
On November 15, 1994, the Housing Committee unanimously recommended approval of this item
to the Mayor and Common Council.
Based on the foregoing, staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
