SUBJECT:

2000 Community Services Grants Allocations

 

RECOMMENDATION

accordingly.

GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS

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.

Approval of grant recommendations requires eight affirmative votes.

SUMMARY

With this report, Social Planning staff are recommending approval of 87 Community Services Grants, at a total cost of $2,772,360. We are also recommending continuation of three reserves: the Partners in Organizational Development reserve, the Family and Youth Support Reserve, and the Cross-cultural reserve. There is a difference of $11,140 between the total value of the recommended allocations (including the reserves) and the grants budget established by Council on February 17, 2000 - we are recommending that this balance be kept aside for emergencies or unforeseen circumstances.

Six applicants have advised us that they disagree with our recommendations, and have requested reconsideration. Consequently, these six 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 2000 Community Services Grants allocations for all applicationswhich have not been referred to the reconsideration process. It also provides an overview of this year's grants program.

BACKGROUND

The 2000 Community Services Grants budget was set by Council on February 17, 200 at $2,911,300. Not included in this budget are any rent subsidy grants, as Council has previously directed that the budget be adjusted after the fact by an amount equal to any rent subsidy grants which get approved.

Social Planning received 101 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. One of the applications, from the "Nine to Five Society" was withdrawn by the applicant after the review process had been completed.

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. Six 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 90 Community Services grants and 4 rent subsidy grants. The six 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 three of these requesting reconsideration, so the list of recommended grants is reduced by three, not six.)

Following is a summary of the preliminary recommendations, with comparative figures from previous years:

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 May 4th.

Appendix C lists all applications for 2000 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 2000 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

COLA

Since 1995, the CSG budget has increased by a cost of living adjustment (COLA) each year (except 1999). However, since 1997, this increase has not been passed on to grant recipients as a COLA increase. Rather, the budget increase was used to fund new applicants and to provide increases to some organizations specifically for increased or improved services. Consequently, the grants to most organizations have been falling behind, in terms of current dollar values.

This year, even with some larger increases to a few organizations for specified purposes, we are able to pass on the COLA increase in the budget to most applicants. A COLA increase has not been recommended in instances where the organization did not request an increase, and in a few instances where we are working with the organization to bring about changes in funding or direction.

Guiding Principles

One of the non-monetary aspects of the CSG program that is showing positive results is the application of our "Guiding Principles". All grant applicants are required to demonstrate how they are working within the principles of inclusion, working together and participation. There are numerous examples of significant improvements in these areas over the past year or two. Many of the applicants have commented to City staff that operating within these principles has enabled them to become more effective and responsive to the community.

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.

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.

3. Family and Youth Support - A reserve of $28,500 is recommended to allow follow-up to two existing initiatives for family and youth support. Specifically, we are recommending only a half year's funding ($18,500) for the Immigrant Services Vietnamese Youth Worker, and a half year's funding ($10,000) for the Child and Youth Coordinator sponsored by Westcoast Childcare Resources, with the second half of the year's funding going into this reserve. In the intervening six months, Social Planning staff will be meeting with these organizations and others providing the same or similar services to develop plans for optimizing the delivery of these services. We will then report back to Council on these plans, with recommendations for funding them from this reserve.

Note: If, as a result of the budget management program currently in progress the Community Services Grants budget is reduced, this would be accomplished through a reduction in the amount allocated to these reserves.

CONCLUSION

Continuing with City funding to non-profit social service agencies in Vancouver provides some much needed stability in an otherwise constantly shifting environment. The end result will be assured continuity of services to Vancouver residents.
