Research has found restraining orders to be effective and empowering. Family Violence law Center is well integrated in to the City of Alameda's system of service delivery for domestic violence survivors. Contacting our 24-hour crisis intervention department is part of the Alameda Police Department's protocol for every domestic violence incident. Our crisis line was on the banner and postcards used in the city for teen dating violence awareness month. We are an active participant in the services collaborative meetings and the domestic violence task force. We have a close working relationship with Building Futures for Women and Children, the other main domestic violence services provider in the city, and the Coast Guard. Last year we served a total of 157 City of Alameda domestic violence survivors and provided 25 of those survivors with legal services. Troy Gilbert Executive Director Alameda Food Bank 1) The Alameda Food Bank has re-submitted a request for this year, requesting 5K. 2) This is substantially less than we had requested before. We currently had a very good fundraising year in 2013, and we are engaged in a strategic planning process for 2014. 3) We would currently like to hold off on CDBG requests, until we have done a little more work thinking through what parts of our social service are more appropriate for city grant requests, and what parts of our social service are more appropriate for private donation. We are in good shape financially to get food to needy Alamedans for this year. 4) We are happy to help other social services agencies in Alameda by requesting less for this year and thus making the "pie" bigger for other organizations. 5) We anticipate a larger "ask" for CDBG funds for next year. Discussion President Biggs shared that he and Member Radding had the opportunity to review and evaluate all of the grant applications. Since the commitment to fund Eden I&R's 211 program and the mandated Fair Housing funding were made outside of any prior CDBG discussions, he and Member Radding recommended that these funds be reduced, and the extra funds be used to fund Alameda Family Services, and increase the funding for the Food Bank. Member Williams shared that she would also like to see Alameda Family Services receive funding, but thought the $5000 was appropriate for the Alameda Food Bank, since that was the amount of its request.
