EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Commission will receive a presentation on the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Human Services Grant
program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
The City of Dublin’s Human Services Grants Program provides financial support to local

plays a key role in the award process in evaluating grant applications, receiving applicant
presentations, and making a recommendation to the City Council on grant amounts.
This report contains background information regarding the grant review process. Also provided is
an Organization Affiliation Worksheet (Attachment 1) for Commissioners to complete to help
determine potential conflicts of interest related to grant applicants and Commissioner
organization affiliations.
Overview of Grants Program Process
The Human Services Grants Program is administered during the fiscal year calendar, which is July
through June of each year. The Program follows a strict schedule to meet City, Alameda County,
and Department of Housing and Urban Development budget deadlines. The Fiscal Year 2022-23
program schedule is outlined below, with preparation beginning as early as December 2021.

By February 1, 2022, the application review period will begin, and HSC Commissioners will

application review period, Staff and the HSC will evaluate and score each application according to
the rating criteria approved by the City Council (Attachment 2).
By February 25, 2022, each Commissioner will submit a completed rating sheet and preliminary
funding recommendation for each application.
At the March 24, 2022 Commission meeting, each applicant will make a brief presentation to the
HSC. At this meeting, Commissioners may ask questions of the applicants for clarification purposes
or to gather additional information about the organization. After applicant presentations, the HSC
will deliberate in open session, review the preliminary funding recommendations and, by way of a
motion, recommend the final grant funding amounts to the City Council for consideration.
All discussions and deliberations regarding funding amounts by the HSC, as well as the final
recommendation to the City Council, are required to take place at the dais before members of the
public attending the meeting. This arrangement may be modified in accordance with County
health guidelines.
Grant Criteria

in support of the 14 Areas of Concern as identified in the Tri-Valley Needs Assessment and the
City’s adopted Mission and Vision Statements (Attachment 3).

Findings Report. The report is available online at www.dublin.ca.gov/1956.
Additionally, the City Council has provided direction to consider grants for programs that
specifically address critical human service needs. These include services related to food and
nutrition, healthcare, homelessness, and childcare. The City Council provided further direction to
prioritize these critical human service needs and not to award grant funds to arts-based or school
programs. To address the latter, the City Council adopted alternative programs which are
administered by the Parks and Community Services Department.
Available Funding Sources and Amounts
The program is supported through several funding sources including the Federal Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the City’s General Fund, and the City’s Affordable
Housing Fund (as available). For Fiscal Year 2022-23, funding from the American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) related to COVID response and recovery may also be available.
The Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget process has already begun and Staff has estimated the funding
allocations for the grant program based on funding levels in recent years. The amount of funding
is not guaranteed at this time.
Estimated Funding Allocations for FY 2022-23
General Fund $90,000
Affordable Housing Fund $8,000
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)$99,000
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)$163,000
The CDBG program is administered through the Alameda County Community Development
14
Page 4 of 4
Agency. The CDBG amount is the estimated amount available for public services and capital
projects.
The range for Human Services Grants Program funding is a minimum of $3,500 to a maximum of
$25,000 per grantee.
Online Grant Application and Review Process
The City received 20 applications, totaling $402,011 in requests, via the Web-based ZoomGrants
application management system. Commissioners can only review applications in the ZoomGrants
system. All discussions, comments, and funding recommendations must take place during the HSC
meeting on March 24, 2022.
Organization Affiliation
In preparation for the upcoming application review period and future HSC meetings, Staff is
requesting that Commissioners complete and submit the attached Organization Affiliation
Worksheet to Staff by January 30, 2022. This will allow Staff to determine potential conflicts of
interest related to grant applicants and Commissioner organization affiliations. Staff will notify
Commissioners of any conflicts and provide further instructions if needed.
