Funding Recommendations
Prepared by: Rhonda Franklin, Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider the Human Services Commission funding
recommendations for the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Human Services Grant Program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving Funding Recommendation for Fiscal Year 2018-19
Human Services Grant Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of Dublin Human Services Grants Program is supported by three funding
sources: the federally-funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fu nd, and
the City of Dublin General Fund and Affordable Housing Fund. The estimated Fiscal
Year 2018-19 CDBG allocation is $79,781 for direct support of social service programs
in the Dublin community. This amount is estimated from last year’s actual amou nt, as
the final allocation from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is
currently unknown. General Fund support for Fiscal Year 2018 -19 is estimated at
$130,000, and the Affordable Housing Fund support is estimated at $8,000. Each
organization is eligible for a minimum award of $3,500 and a maximum of $25,000.
DESCRIPTION:
The Human Services Grants Program provides financial support to local non -profit
organizations serving the Dublin community. The program is supported through three
funding sources including the Federally-funded Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program, the City of Dublin General Fund and the Affordable Housing Fund.
Each year the City Council awards funding to organizations that best meet the
community’s needs in support of the City’s adopted Mission, Vision and Values
(Attachment 1) and needs identified in the Tri-Valley Needs Assessment
(Attachment 2).

Analysis and Funding Recommendations
The City’s Fiscal Year 2018-19 total grant funding allocation is estimated at $217,781
which includes CDBG estimated at $79,781 for direct support to social services/capital
programs, City General Fund at $130,000, and City Affordable Housing Fund at $8,000.
Of the $79,781 estimated for CDBG, a portion is earmarked for support to Axis
Community Health for the facility project loan obligation. On May 6, 2014 the City
Council adopted Resolution 51-14 authorizing the City to enter into a Public
Participating Jurisdiction Agreement (PPJ) with the cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, and
the County of Alameda for repayment of a HUD loan to support Axis Community
Health’s Health Center expansion in Pleasanton. The agreement was executed in July
2015 and the facility grand opening was held in May 2016. The PPJ allowed the
agencies, with City of Pleasanton acting as lead agency, to borrow $1.25 million to
support Axis Community Health’s facility construction. Per the agreement, the City of
Dublin is required to repay its portion of the loan, a total of $265,618, with CDBG funds.
The funding allocation for repayment of the loan is included as part of the Staff and
Human Services Commission recommendations. The estimated loan repayment
amount for Fiscal Year 2018-19 is $15,925.
During this year’s application period, the City of Dublin received 19 applications from 15
organizations. Of the 19 applications received, eight (8) are eligible for CDBG funding.
Four (4) organizations submitted applications for two (2) different programs/projects .
The Human Services Commission is responsible for providing Human Services Grant
Program funding recommendations to the City Council each year. On March 22, 2018
the Commission held a public meeting for the Fiscal Year 2018 -19 Human Services
Grant Program funding recommendations. The Commission received presentations
from 15 non-profit organizations that submitted applications for 19 programs. After
Page 3 of 7
deliberation the Commission recommended 18 programs for grant funding for the Fiscal
Year 2018-19 funding cycle, as shown below.

Exhibit A of the Resolution (Attachment 4).
Page 5 of 7
Organizations Not Recommended for Funding
This year, the overall funding amount requested exceeded the amount available by over
40%. As a result, the City is unable to fund all of the application requests. Of the 19
applications received, one (1) organization was not recommended for funding. The
application was not as competitive as the other applications. Additional reasons include
not providing direct critical human service needs, and the funds requested could be
eligibility for other educational related grants.
Projects Recommended by Funding Type
The following table shows the number of projects recommended for funding by project
type.

Review and Rating Criteria
Staff reviewed the Fiscal Year 2018-19 grant applications to verify that all requests
qualify for funding based on the adopted program guidelines. As part of the review,
Staff applied the City Council-approved Rating Criteria worksheet (Attachment 5) to
each grant application.
The Rating Criteria worksheet is only one of several factors used in determining Staff’s
funding recommendations. Other factors include consideration of such elements as:
• The number of Dublin residents served and cost per participant;
• Past performance for existing Dublin programs;
• Whether the project addresses one or more of the 14 Key Areas of Concern
identified in the 2011 Tri-Valley Needs Assessment Report; and
• Whether City funds are used to leverage other funding sources.
City and Regional Priorities
Based on the Human Services Commission’s work in establishing local and regional
priorities, additional consideration was given to applications addressing needs in the
areas of: Behavioral Health (mental health and substance abuse), Health Care
(including dental), and Senior Services.
In addition, at the October 20, 2015 City Council Meeting, the City Council discussed
the funding priorities for the upcoming grants cycle. The dis cussion resulted in City
Council direction that the Grants Program emphasize funding programs specifically
directed towards human service needs. As such, the City Council decided that, going
forward grants would not be awarded to arts or school -based programming or events,
Page 6 of 7
but would be focused on the most critical human services needs such as health care,
food and nutrition, homelessness, child care, etc.
Alameda County Urban County CDBG Program
The City of Dublin participates in Alameda County’s Urban-County CDBG Program.
The City of Dublin, along with the cities of Albany, Emeryville, Newark, and Piedmont
(cities whose population is or was less than 50,000 residents), are called the “Urban
County Cities,” along with the unincorporated areas of Alameda County. During the
current Fiscal Year (FY 2017-18), the City of Dublin received $79,781 in CDBG funds
for direct support to organizations. This same amount is being estimated for Fiscal Year
2018-19 until the City is provided the approved funding level from Alameda County.
Project Type: Public Service Project vs. Capital Project
Each year, the County limits each Urban County City to approximately 12% of the
CDBG allocation for service-based organizations and projects. Based on the estimated
CDBG allocation, this amount would be $12,255 for public service projects, with the
remaining $67,526 for capital projects. The County’s past practice has been to review
all applications received from each Urban County City to determine if the overall request
for service-based projects exceeds the 12% limit.
For the past few years, the County has requested that the City make adjustments to the
service-based project allocation as the County was projected to exceed the 12% limit. If
adjustments are needed for Fiscal Year 2018-19, Staff will work with eligible grant
applicants and the County to make adjustments, including implementation of a prorated
reduction for all CDBG awards, if necessary.
This year the City received two (2) capital project requests and 17 public service project
requests. The City typically receives far more service project requests than capital
project requests.
Summary
In total, grant applicants requested $306,368 in funds with only $217,781 grant funds
available. The following chart summarizes the total funding requests and the amount
available for the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Human Services Grants Program:
