SUBJECT FY 2025 Community Services Commission Final Funding Recommendations
RECOMMENDATION
That the Community Services Commission:
1. Review and comments on this report;
2. Accept the Application Review Committees’ funding allocation recommendations; and
3. Recommend the funding allocations to Council for final approval.
SUMMARY
This report provides an overview of the FY 2025 Community Agency Funding (CAF) process, the Application Review Committees’ (ARCs) proposed funding recommendations for consideration by the Community Services Commission (CSC), and next steps. The funding recommendations are summarized by category in Table 1 and in detail in Attachment II.
During this year’s CAF process, applicants requested close to $3.7 million dollars in program funding. The magnitude of requests shows that this continues to be a highly competitive process given that the City only has an estimated $1.8 million in available funds for FY 2025. Consequently, the ARCs were challenged to appropriately allocate funds with consideration for the CSC and City’s goals to provide resources and services for those most vulnerable.
