Shelter Grant Program Approval to Award
Funds and Enter Into Agreements FY97/98
On May 5, 1997, the Mayor and Common Council approved an application to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for$105,000 in Emergency Shelter
Grant Program Funds within the 1995/1999 Consolidated Plan and the 1997/1998 Third Year
Action Plan. The Mayor and Common Council approved the Plan and HUD awarded funds for
FYI 997/1998 in July 1997, to be effective on July 1, 1997.
Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program 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 must show the ability to provide delivery of high quality services; satisfy the HUD
ESG matching fund (dollar for dollar) requirements; and address identified community"needs" in
conjunction with this assistance.
To award the funds, a Request for Proposals (RFPs) was advertised on November 6, 1997 to
solicit applications for the ESG funding. There were a total of five (5) applications received.
Based on the criteria that agencies have: demonstrated experience and capacity to serve the
homeless;the ability to ensure compliance with the community needs of the Consolidated Plan;
submitted eligible projects for funding, staff carefully reviewed the number of clients served and to
be served and recommend the following distribution of the $105,000:
The Salvation Arm $47,520
M 's Mercy Center $13,500
Frazee Community Center $20,480
Option House, Inc. $23,500
Samaritan Social Service, Inc. $_0_
TOTAL $105,000
It should be noted that Samaritan Social Services, Inc., is not recommended for funding because
their application was incomplete, services not defined and lacked a source of matching funds.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
