SUMMARY
This report provides an overview of the FY 2023 Community Agency Funding process, the Application Review Committees’ (ARCs) proposed funding recommendations for consideration by the Community Services Commission (CSC), and next steps in the funding process. The funding is summarized by category in Table 1 below and in detail in Attachment II.
The amount of funding requested for FY 2023 continues to increase compared to previous years. The continual increase in requested funds, even with the additional American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funding, resulted in a highly competitive funding allocation process for the FY 2023 cycle. Consequently, the ARCs were faced with challenging decisions about how to appropriately allocate funds with consideration for the CSC and City’s goals to provide resources and services for those in the community who need it the most.
