BACKGROUND For Fiscal year 1990/91, $70,000 is the remaining budgeted amount in the Community Services Division budget for Community Service Agency Funding. These funds are projected to be utilized to fund Community Service Agencies Human _ Service programs. In order to determine the most pressing human service needs in the Santa Clarita Valley, staff conducted a survey asking agencies what are the main social service problems in the community. The survey was conducted among a diverse cross-section of community service organizations. As a result, the Human Service issues for the Santa Clarita community are anti-drug education for adults and youth, mental health, affordable -housing, temporary/adequate shelter, delinquency prevention, child care, education projects, historic preservation, job training for the disadvantage, job training for youths, outdoor recreation expansion, scholarships for low income students and senior services. The priority human service needs assessment is established each fiscal year. This priority establishes which human service needs of the community necessitate assistance and is used as eligibility and selection criteria for the grant program. The city staff proposes that a Selection Committee he established. The committee should consist of one City Councilmember, one member of the Parks and Recreation Department, and two members of the City Manager's Department and one member from the United Way planning staff. The committee will review all applications submitted for the Community Service Grant program and determine those proposals which will include a request for funds. Moreover, the committee will recommend to council, each fiscal year, which community agencies should receive funding according to the city "priority, criteria attached to this report. City staff will return to the January 8th Council meeting with a recommended amount of funds to be allocated to each agency. The process and agreement is structured so the funds will be expended on city residents -therefore, residents of county unincorporated areas will not receive services. n j111nnTi q70 a _i-Im Agenda Item: , Page Two A enda Re ort December 11 1990 g r I , Subject: Community Services Grant Award Process for Fiscal Year 1990/91 $100,000 is currently budgeted for this project, and Account No. 01-4000-230 has been established to fund this program.
