The City Council of Santa Clarita allocated $100,000 to assist Social Service
Agencies for the current year.. The City's Community Service Grant Program was
designed to provide assistance to social service community agencies with the
intention of enhancing the quality of life in the City. A selection committee
comprised of Council members Darcy and Heidt, plus staff members reviewed all of
the grant applications. The selection committee used a variety of criteria in
making their decision. These include:
- The Community Service Agency must expend these funds solely and
exclusively to provide facilities and services to the residents' of
Santa Clarita.
- The community-based organization must be a non-profit agency whose
community service goals benefit the community.
In addition, the following list of human service needs were used as a guide to
award funds:
- mental health
- senior services
- child care
- educational project
- anti-drug education for adults and youth
- domestic violence
- youth crime prevention
delinquency prevention
- job training for the disadvantaged and youth
- outdoor recreation expansion and unanticipated needs.
- poverty program
All of these human service needs are priorities in the City of Santa Clarita.
