With a request of $60,000 <br />and an estimated 18 individuals served, the cost per person is $2,500. The organization <br />received a City General Fund grant allocation of $45,000 for the Home Repair Projects, <br />Improvements, and Maintenance program in FY 2024/25. <br /> <br />Recommendations for Phase One Funding <br />The proposed allocations in Table 3 serve as a starting point for commission discussion. Given <br />pending General Fund allocations this year, funding eligibility under CDBG, HOME, and LIHF <br />(Attachment 6) is key in determining allocations rather than application scoring alone. <br />• CDBG-Eligible Human Services and Capital Projects: Spectrum Community Services’ <br />meal delivery program ranked first out of 31 applications, and its services are eligible for <br />CDBG Public Services funding. <br />• HOME and LIHF Funding: All housing applications, except two, are recommended for <br />funding. Front Porch Communities Foundation and Arukah ranked 24th and 30th out of <br />31 total applications, and their services overlap with established Tri-Valley providers. <br />(ECHO Housing operates a home match program, Tri-Valley Haven provides <br />transitional sheltering, and Goodness Village offers transitional housing and vocational <br />training for homeless residents). <br /> <br />Phase One recommendations outlined in Table 2 are intended to align higher-scoring <br />programs with eligible funding sources. <br /> <br />Table 2: FY 2025/26 Recommended Phase One Funding Allocations <br />Recommended Amount Source of Funds Commission Ranking <br />(Taken from all scores <br />for Phase One and <br />Phase Two) <br />HUMAN SERVICES AND CAPITAL FUNDING <br />Spectrum Community <br />Services: <br />Meals on Wheels <br />$55,000 <br />($55,000 request) <br />CDBG Public <br />Services <br />#1 <br />(*No CDBG-eligible <br />applications for capital <br />projects received) <br />N/A CDBG Capital N/A <br />TOTAL HUMAN <br />SERVICES <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />$55,000 <br /> <br />Page 21 of 67
