Attachment II provides a more detailed summary of the Community Services Commission recommendations by category, community agency/program, and funding amounts.
The funding recommendations in this report include Council’s feedback from the April 3, 2018 Council work session.
Considerations for FY 2020 Funding Process:
Based on the April 3, 2018 Council work session discussion, six areas for consideration were identified by Council for the FY 2020 funding process:
1. Complete an RFP process for the Fair Housing services requirement;
2. Consider removing the Eden I&R 2-1-1 Program from the competitive process;
3. Ensure the City of Hayward operated programs are included in the competitive process;
4. Ensure Council reviews any surplus funds in the Infrastructure category, regardless of amounts and prior to re-allocation of those funds;
5. Review Selection Criteria to ensure funding recommendations are congruent with Council goals, particularly relative to affordable housing; and
6. Ensure proactive outreach measures are taken relative to increase potential applications for non-service categorical funding, particularly those that advance affordable housing.
