SUMMARY
At the April 17, 2018 Council public hearing, Council confirmed six areas for consideration for the FY 2020 funding process:
1. Complete an RFP for the provision of the Fair Housing services requirement;
2. Remove the Eden I&R 2-1-1 Program from the competitive process and award annually;
3. Ensure the City of Hayward operated programs be 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 the 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.
