COMMENTS REGARDING NEEDS RELATED TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PUBLIC SERVICES FUNDING TO FORMULATE FY 2012/13 PUBLIC SERVICES NEEDS STATEMENT AND HEARING ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FY 2011-12 REPROGRAMMING OF PROGRAM INCOME FUNDS FOR PUBLIC SERVICES Claudia Young - -Community Development Program Manager for the City of Alameda presented a Power Point explain the CDBG process, timeline, funding levels over the past six years, and how the FY 11-12 funds were spread across services. (Power Point Presentation attached). She explained that the expectation is that there will be a 6% to 10% reduction in funding compared to last year and that only 15% of that can be used for Public Services. In crafting the budget, City Staff will plan conservatively and use the 10% reduction. There is an expectation that program Income will also be less for next year. Estimated funds available for Public services are $175,000 or about $49,000 less than last year. Hopefully the reduction will be less than the 10%. This funding will be for a FY starting July 1, 2012. Ms. Young was not aware of any plans to increase the Public Services cap beyond 15%.

SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2011-12-01.pdf,2 | SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2011-12-01 | 2 | development programs focused on Multimedia, Child Development, Health & Human Services, and Legal Studies West End Alameda students attending Encinal, ACLC, Alternatives in Action's BASE, [and list others] have benefited from participating in our career prep programs, paid & unpaid internships, and college & career guidance and workshops. Youth founded Home Sweet Home preschool in 1998, and today it serves 42 children and families with licensed daycare. Currently, 31 youth interns receive professional career training in Early Care and Education. Home Sweet Home interns partner with Head Start to support children and families in the Alameda community. Edgar has more than 100 hours direct service with children through Home Sweet Home preschool. He attended a four day professional development conference through NAREA which networked him internationally with Early Childhood educators - Edgar brought his learning back to Home Sweet Home and has shared it with children, youth and families in his work as a student intern. Media studies provide over 60 youth a year with technical training in video production and sound engineering. Project Youth View is the premiere Alameda event identified with this project group, impacting over 500 people annually and offering youth the opportunity to share their stories and viewpoints through the Art of filmmaking. Current partners include HBO and the Bay Area Video Coalition. Dee has a strong career interest in event production, and has applied his technical training to attain a paid job in this field, where he was recently promoted as manager. Dee represented Alternatives in Action at the Comcast Youth Tech Summit in Sept 2011, sharing the stage with the mayor of San Francisco as issues and concerns around youth social networking were highlighted. Alternatives in Action's Legal Studies project group provides over 40 teens a year with legal training and partners with McCullum Youth Court to provide a restorative justice opportunity for teens who take responsibility for their actions t… | SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2011-12-01.pdf |
SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2011-12-01.pdf,3 | SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2011-12-01 | 3 | Hank Leeper, ED - Alameda Food Bank: Mr. Leeper explained that he is the new Ed of the Food Bank, has been on the job for seven months, and volunteered at the Food Bank before applying for the position. The AFB is expecting a 7 to10% increase in their client base this year, unlike the 24% increase a few year's back, but their families served is at an all-time high. They noticed a bump in July, as those who lost their Unemployment Benefits came in for assistance. They continue to see new families every day. He noted that this was his first Public Needs Hearing and expressed appreciation as to how the funds benefited so many programs, and what a great value the programs brought to the community. He also thanked the City and the Board for their continued support of the Food Bank. George Phillps, ED - Alameda Boys and Girls Club George echoed Mr. Leeper's comments, adding "When I hear the stories from other agencies, it's hard to ask for more money." He said that, with the opening of the new Club, the West End Teen Center numbers have grown quickly. Membership is now at 600, with 125 to 140 youth participating daily. Over the years, he has seen his CDBG funding drop from around $35,000 to $15,000, and he may be losing a $40,000 grant from the Alameda Housing Authority. His clientele has changed, and they' re no longer just from Public Housing. He's just added 25 youth who now pay $50 a year B&G Club membership as opposed to the much higher cost of ARPD's RAP program. He's hoping to find ways to encourage more parents to devote time to the club. A Blight Busters grant will allow the club to create a community Garden in a space that formerly had outdated portables. The Club also hosts Girls Inc's Teen "Zine, and AFS and Island High programs. President Wasko thanked the Agency Directors and Students Representatives who made their presentations. The board was especially impressed by the stories of the AIA student presenters: Becca, Edgar, and Dee Board Discussion: A discussion regarding the greater utilization of corpora… | SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2011-12-01.pdf |
SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2011-12-01.pdf,4 | SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2011-12-01 | 4 | We must encourage more service providers to attend the City Council Community Needs meeting and also bring their clients / residents / students. Hearing the presentations of the AIA youth is an example of how compelling that can be. It was decided that, while the four priority needs categories should stay the same, our letter should demonstrate a heightened urgency, as agencies are approaching a critical breaking point of needing to consider eliminating programs because they can no longer simply be cut back. The Council needs to hear that agencies "just can't get by" anymore, and that more funds must be identified. Youth was added to item three as an additional target population and "such as" was deleted from item #2. The letter should also be updated chronologically. Finally, the letter should state that the Board will present additional information at the February 21st Council meeting, after analyzing the 2012 Community Needs Assessment Survey data. Motion to amend the 2011 Needs Statement to include changes named above, with president Wasko working with staff to finalize the letter. President Wasko will present the letter and 2012 Survey findings at the February 21st meeting. (Speakers were encouraged to come to the meeting with their constituencies) M/S Nielsen/Dailey Unanimous 3-A. Cont' FY 2011-12 REPROGRAMMING OF PROGRAM INCOME FUNDS FOR PUBLIC SERVICES (Chart showing Reprogramming formula Below) Claudia Young then presented the staff recommendation for reprogramming funds, explaining that this formula would restore the grants for these three agencies to approximately their 2010 levels. These three agencies also received significant (30%) cuts in their 2011 FEMA Emergency Food and shelter Grant funding. Ms. Young explained that FVLC had submitted a $20,000 technical assistance grants which was not funded, and stated that staff was asking the Board to consider convening a meeting of DV services stakeholders for the purpose of bringing back the DV Taskforce.
