The Central City Lutheran Mission has requested $40,000.00 to continue operation of the w
emergency men's homeless shelter for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2014-2015, and such request

has been demonstrated to meet the requirements of the Emergency Solutions Grant Program. M

This request is critical to the continued operation of the homeless men's shelter for this fiscal w
year and therefore, requires urgent action of the Mayor and Common Council outside of the c
City's normal award process. Central City Lutheran Mission's shelter operations meets the N
guideline requirements of the City's Homelessness Initiative Action Plan as a first-step toward
providing housing solutions for unsheltered men over the age of eighteen.

At the Grants Committee meeting held on September 30, 2014, the committee recommended that
the allocation be increased to $46,345.00. v
