GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS
The General Manager of Community Services RECOMMENDS approval of A, B, C, D, E and F.
COUNCIL POLICY
On September 30, 1993 Council adopted, as policy, the criteria and priorities which are used in assessing Community Services Grants applications. These were amended by Council on October 24, 1995.
On June 8, 1993 City Council decided that rent subsidies to social service or cultural organizations occupying City-owned property will be funded from the Community Services or Cultural Grants budgets, and that these budgets will be adjusted to accommodate the subsidies approved by Council. Applications for rent subsidy grants are to be assessed for eligibility on the same basis as applications for Community Services or Cultural Grants.
On November 22, 1994, Council approved a new two-step grant approval process whereby undisputed staff recommendations are approved first (and are the subject of this report), while applications under reconsideration are given a second review and are presented to Council at a later date.
Approval of grant recommendations requires eight affirmative votes.
SUMMARY
With this report, Social Planning staff are recommending approval of 94 Community Services Grants, at a total cost of $2,771,022. We are also recommending continuation of three reserves: the Partners in Organizational Development reserve, the Multi-cultural Family reserve, and the Cross-cultural reserve. There is a difference of $23,078 between the total value of the recommended allocations (including the reserves) and the grants budget established by Council on February 5, 1998 - we are recommending that this balance be kept aside for emergencies or unforeseen circumstances.
Four applicants have advised us that they disagree with our recommendations, and have requested reconsideration. Consequently, these 4 applications have been removed from the list of recommendations contained in this report, and will be dealt with at the completion of the reconsideration process.
PURPOSE
This report recommends the 1998 Community Services Grants allocations for all applications which have not been referred to the reconsideration process. It also provides an overview of this year’s grants program.
BACKGROUND
The 1998 Community Services Grants budget was set by Council on February 5, 1998 at $2,882,500. Not included in this budget are any rent subsidy grants, as Council has directed that the budget be adjusted after the fact by an amount equal to any rent subsidy grants which get approved.
Social Planning received 108 regular grant applications and 4 rent subsidy grant applications. Staff have reviewed and assessed these applications on the basis of the criteria and priorities which have been established by Council.
All applicants have been informed, in writing, of Social Planning's recommendations, and were given the opportunity to request reconsideration if they disagreed with the recommendation. Four organizations, listed in Appendix B, have requested further review of their applications and the proposed recommendations.
RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY
Social Planning staff made preliminary recommendations for approval of 95 Community Services grants and 4 rent subsidy grants. The 4 applications which have been referred to the reconsideration process will not be dealt with at this point. Note, however that staff recommended a grant to only one of those requesting reconsideration, so the list of recommended grants is reduced by just one.
Following is a summary of the preliminary recommendations, with comparative figures from previous years:
1998 1997 1996
Recommended at the same level 66 75 28
Recommended increase:
- inflation adjustment 0 0 46
- other increase 16 5 7
Recommended new grants 4 4 5
Recommended decrease 3 7 2
Recommended terminating grant 6 2 0
No grant recommended 13 20 7
108 113 95
Appendix A lists the grants which are being recommended at this time. Applications which are in dispute (i.e. requests for reconsideration have been received) are not included in this list.
Appendix B lists the applications for which requests for reconsideration have been received - these will be considered by Council on April 23rd.
Appendix C lists all applications for 1998 grants, and provides information on last year's grants (if any), the initial staff recommendations for this year's grants, and any conditions and/or comments related to each application.
Appendix D lists all applications, sorted by the target group which they primarily serve. Most organizations serve more than one group, so a completely accurate picture of the allocation of City funds to each target group cannot be given when organizations are shown only within a single category. However, this table does give an indication of funding changes within sectors.
Finally, Appendix E lists all grant applications in separate tables that show how the 1998 recommendations compare to last year's.
A copy of the front pages of all applications has already been distributed to Council. These contain more detailed information on the applicants and the programs or services for which they are seeking City funding.
DISCUSSION
Funding Changes
No inflationary increases are proposed for any of the applications. Although the grants budget included a 1% inflationary increase over last year’s budget, we are recommending that this increase be used to fund several new grants and to provide funding increases where there are demonstrated increases in service or improvements to service.
Staff are recommending 16 grant increases, as compared to 5-7 in previous years. Almost half of the increases (7) are for Neighbourhood Houses. With the exception of two Houses, there has been a significant and very noticeable improvement in the community leadership role being taken on by these organisations and in the development of neighbourhood collaborations and partnerships. Other than the occasional COLA adjustment, Neighbourhood Houses haven’t seen a change in their funding levels for many years. With this change in the way these Houses are operating, staff felt that it was appropriate this year to respond with grant increases to them.
Six of the increases are to organizations that have quite small budgets and therefore are only able to pay their staff very low wages. The increases are intended to help them increase the wages to more reasonable levels. The three remaining increases are for significant increases in needed services.
Another significant change in funding this year is the number of terminating grants - 6 compared to 2 or less in previous years. Two of the terminating grants are for youth workers in Neighbourhood Houses, where the original funding, granted several years ago, was intended to be short-term, start-up funding. These youth programs are now part of the House’s core programs. Another terminating grant is also for a youth worker, but this one is in a community centre, and funding is being cut, as part of the rationalization of youth services, discussed below. Two of the terminating grants are for services that are now more closely tied to provincial mandates and are therefore not eligible for City funding. The final terminating grant is for a program that has evolved to the point where it is not needed to the degree that it was when it first started.
Youth Workers
Over the past year, Social Planning staff have been meeting with Park Board staff to rationalize the system of youth workers that is supported by the City and the Park Board. Just over half of the Community Centres now have at least one youth worker, and the Park Board has adopted a long range plan to get youth workers into the remainder. The situation was getting complicated because CSGs were being used to also fund youth workers which, in some instances, are sponsored by the same Community Centre Associations that co-sponsor Park Board youth workers.
We noted that Park Board youth workers work with young people from the geographic area served by the community centre in which the worker is located. Workers funded by CSGs have no such restriction. Therefore we agreed that, as a general guideline, the Park Board would continue with its process of getting youth workers in each community centre to serve local neighbourhoods, and the focus for CSG funding would be for youth workers that serve communities that are not geographically based (e.g. ethno-cultural workers). This approach in no way lessens the Park Board’s commitment to ensuring that the programs they deliver in each Centre are culturally appropriate for the local community. It has resulted in the recommended termination of a CS Grant that is funding a neighbourhood based youth worker in a community centre. Staff are optimistic that the Park Board will pick up the funding for this position next year.
Shifting Provincial Mandates and Priorities
One criteria of CSG’s is that they are not to be used for services that come within the legislated mandates of other levels of government. Although many services can be easily identified as being within a specific mandate or not, there are many other services where the involvement of any of the levels of government is a consequence of the funding and service priorities of the day; and these priorities can and do change over time.
This year, there are two previously funded organizations whose services are in areas for which the Province is taking increasing responsibility. Consequently, staff are recommending that City funding to these groups be terminated.
This situation of shifting priorities is being further complicated this year by the fact that two Provincial ministries, Health and Children and Families, are currently going through a major review and re-structuring, which will probably result in significant changes in priorities. These changes could result in a reduced need for City funding in some instances, but possibly an increased need in others. If and when significant changes occur at the provincial level that could affect the basis on which CSG’s are given, staff will immediately report back to Council with further recommendations.
Rent Subsidy Grants
For many years, it has been City policy that properties held in the PEF be rented at market rates. However, this wasn’t always reflected in reality. Prior to 1993, there were approximately 20 social service and cultural organizations which were located in city-owned properties, in the PEF, and which were also paying nominal rents. There were also a couple of groups that were paying some rent, although it still wasn’t the full market rate. On June 8, 1993 Council adopted a number of policies aimed at rationalizing this situation.
The most significant move was to transfer all purpose built or renovated properties (e.g. daycares, neighbourhood houses, theatres) to the City’s capital fund, where the annual rent was established, by policy, to be $1. One organization, the BC Coalition for People with Disabilities, was located in the commercial building at 456 W Broadway, and the transfer of just a portion of this building to Capital Assets didn’t make sense. This group was paying approximately half the market rent for the space they occupied. In order to reconcile the need for the PEF to receive full market rent, and yet retain the ability to provide financial support to eligible non-profit organizations, City Council agreed that such groups could apply for rent subsidy grants. An added advantage to going this route was that the hidden subsidy that was being provided from the PEF would become explicit and would be funded from the appropriate grants budget.
If the rent subsidy grants were funded from the regular grants budget, then less money would be available to provide funding directly to non-profits for direct service delivery. Therefore, Council also decided that the budgets for the appropriate grants program would be adjusted by the amounts of the rent subsidy grants, at the time they were approved.
Applications for rent subsidy grants are reviewed using the same criteria as for regular grants. The amount of the grant that’s recommended is based on financial need and is seen as part of the total contribution by the City towards the organization. This year 4 organizations have applied for rent subsidy grants - all four had previously received such subsidies. The recommended grant for three of them represents approximately half the rent payable; the groups must come up with the remainder of the rent from their own resources. Staff are recommending a full subsidy grant to the Dugout as this group has little capability of raising funding to pay rent. Requiring them to pay rent would, in all likelihood, result in the shutdown of this needed service.
RECOMMENDED RESERVES
In addition to the usual reserve for "Partners in Organizational Development" and a modest hold-back for emergencies or unforeseen circumstances, we are recommending that funds also be set aside in two other reserves. Following is a brief explanation of the reserves:
1.Partners in Organizational Development - this program was initiated in 1989 as a jointly funded partnership of the Vancouver Foundation, United Way, Secretary of State and the City to help non-profit organizations deal with common organizational problems. In 1994, additional Federal and Provincial partners agreed to also provide funding to this program.
P.O.D. aims to strengthen community organizations’ capacity to work more effectively and efficiently. Small grants, averaging $4,000 per group, are given to assist in the development of strategic plans or to bring about organizational change.
Staff are recommending that $15,000 be reserved for P.O.D. - this is the same amount that has been approved each year since the program's inception. A report seeking Council's approval of specific P.O.D. grants will be submitted later in the year.
2. Cross-Cultural Expertise - This program was initiated in 1995. It supports short-term partnership projects to share expertise among community service agencies and to increase their ability to serve Vancouver’s culturally diverse population. The reserve of $20,000 recommended in this year’s Community Service Grants budget is consistent with previous years’ allocations.
The program has funded 10 inter-agency projects to date, including the development of an accessible parenting program for Chinese-speaking parents; a project to increase access for bi-, lesbian, gay, and transgendered youth; and the development and testing of a cooperative approach to parenting support services for South Asian families. We have been successful in obtaining federal cost-sharing for some of the projects and will continue to seek the participation of other funders. A report seeking Council’s approval of specific Cross-Cultural Expertise grants will be submitted later in the year.
3.Support to Multi-Cultural Families - In 1995, staff identified significant service gaps and inequities in the area of family support services and we have been working with community groups and other funders since then to address some of these gaps. Reserves were approved in the 1996 and 1997 Community ServicesGrants budgets to provide some additional time beyond the usual grant review process, in which to develop solutions.
As part of a strategy to improve services to the Vietnamese community, the 1996 reserve was used to fund a new family support worker position. The Province has provided new funding for a Vietnamese female youth worker, and support for the development of a community service plan. The 1997 reserve is being used to develop a model which will facilitate the delivery of family support services to smaller cultural communities. This project was developed in consultation with the Ministry of Children and Families, other Provincial groups, and the key immigrant-serving agencies and, it is hoped, will provide a framework for increased provincial funding in this area.

A reserve of $40,000 is recommended in the 1998 Community Services Grants budget to allow follow-up to existing initiatives and an opportunity to respond to Provincial changes which include a stated intention to improve supports to multicultural families.

CONCLUSION
Restructuring of provincial ministries of Health and Children and Families could have a significant effect on a number of the organizations that the City funds. However, these processes are not far enough along to be able to say for sure what the effects will be or who will be affected. City funding provides much needed stability in an otherwise constantly shifting environment. The end result will be assured continuity of services to Vancouver residents.
