Of these 19 applications, only nine (9), reflecting the top-ranked <br />eligible programs, are recommended for funding. The total funding aligns to the CDBG- <br />required 15% cap on public services ($57,218) and the total General Funds ($100,000) <br />budgeted for the HHSG program for FY 2025/26. <br /> <br />Spectrum Community Services and Open Heart Kitchen, ranked first and second respectively, <br />are recommended to receive CDBG ($57,218) and General Funds ($25,000) to fund them as <br />closely as possible to their requested amounts. <br /> <br />Seven (7) other applications, which were ranked between 4 and 17 by the Human Services <br />Commission, and each of which received scores above 70 (out of 100), are recommended to <br />be funded with the remaining General Funds ($75,000). The remaining ten (10) applications <br />are not recommended for funding because they received the lowest total scores (below 70) <br />and fell in the bottom third of rankings in the Commission's review process. For the projects <br />recommended to be funded, funding amounts ranged from $5,000 (Operation School Bell) to <br />$23,000 (CityServe Homeless Prevention), with other recipients recommended to receive <br />between $7,000 and $10,000. Full details are provided in Attachment 1, Table A. <br /> <br />Housing-Related Grants <br />In past years, the City has used LIHF funds to supplement limited CDBG program funding for <br />critical housing-related services. Federal HOME funds received through the Alameda County <br />HOME Consortium have also historically been appropriated through the HHSG process. <br /> <br />The City received ten (10) applications from agencies providing housing services, totaling <br />$497,715 in funding requests. The Human Services Commission also reviewed housing <br />services applications at its March 5, 2025, meeting, and the Commission's recommendations <br />are summarized in Attachment 2, resulting in the recommended allocation of $85,876 in HOME <br />funds (includes $5,876 for administration). City staff also reviewed two (2) additional <br />applications that provide housing services (Tri-Valley Haven Domestic Violence Services and <br />Tri-Valley Haven Homeless and Family Support Services) and assessed that these two <br />additional programs can be funded with LIHF funds. The total funding requests from all twelve <br />(12) applications is $630,465. Of this amount, $351,465 is the recommended LIHF funding <br />Page 124 of 694 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 3C732151-0636-4143-B82E-F2170067845E
