6.4 KS Emergency Shelter Grant ProgramCITY OF SALINA REQUEST FOR CITY COMMISSION ACTION DATE TIME 07/27/2009 4:00 P.M. AGENDA SECTION ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: APPROVED FOR NO: 6 AGENDA: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT ITEM NO. 4 BY: Judy Irvin BY: Page 1 ITEM: Consider recommendations for grant fund allocations to local agencies for the 2009-2010 Kansas Emergency Shelter Grant Program. BACKGROUND: There were five local agencies requesting funding under the FFY2009 Kansas Emergency Shelter Grant program. The Salina City Commission authorized submittal of the application on March 2, 2009. The sub-grant requests on their behalf totaled $110,914 in 2009, compared to $66,000 in 2008. We have been notified the 2009-2010 City of Salina grant award to tal is $37,207, or approximately 3.87 percent higher than the 2008-2009 award, which was $35,818. Emergency Shelter Grant funds are available for specific purposes and come to the city allocated by activity category. Federal regu lations for these funds are aim ed at rewarding new projects and initiatives. One way the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation honors that stipulation is to vary the way funds in a particular category from year to year. This year, no funds were awarded to Salina for rehabilitation, while funds for homeless prevention were increased. Since shelters are not eligible for homeless prevention funds, funds av ailable to them from ESG are lower this year. The 2009-2010 ESG award is as follows: Shelter Rehabilitation: $ 0 (unchanged) Operations: 11,000 (decreased 41.79% from $18,900) Essential Services: 14,000 (increased 40.0% from $10,000) Homeless Prevention: 11,300 (increased 88.3% from $6,000) Local Administration: 907 (decreased 1.2% from $918) TOTAL $37,207 The City of Salina, as grant adm inistrator, must now divide t he awarded funds among sub-grantee agencies. Staff recommends the funds be distributed according to State award requirements which limit eligibility according to agency services, di viding funds from each category among eligible agencies in approximately the same proportion as in previous years. Each agency has been advised of the recommended amounts. If funding is approved and accepted by an agency, a grant agreement will be signed between the agency and the City. A combined grant agreement will also be signed between the City and the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation. Funding will be supplied by the City as requested by the agency and reimbursed to the City by the State. A detailed report of staff's recommendations for 2009-2010 Kansas Emergency Shelter Grant award reallocation among the five Salina agencies serving the homeless is attached.
