COMMENTS

POLICY

SUMMARY

With this report, Social Planning staff are recommending approval of 88 Community Services Grants, at a total cost of $2,865,312. We are also recommending two reserves - the Partners in Organizational Development reserve and an Emergency Reserve.

Three applicants have advised us that they disagree with our recommendations, and have requested reconsideration. Consequently, these 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 2001 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

On March 15, 2001, City Council approved the 2001 Operating Budget - Interim Estimates which included an adjustment that limited the inflationary increase for the City Grants programs to 1%. Consequently, the 2001 budget for Community Services Grants is $2,926,374 which is 1% higher than last year's. Not included in this budget are any rent subsidy grants, as Council has previously directed that the budget be adjusted by an amount equal to any rent subsidy grants which get approved.

Social Planning received 93 regular grant applications and 5 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.

Because the grants' budget ceilings had not been established by the time the grant review process was completed, staff prepared preliminary recommendations based on a possible reduced budget. All applicants were informed, in writing, of Social Planning's preliminary recommendations, and were given the opportunity to request reconsideration if they disagreed with the recommendation. Three organizations, listed in Appendix B, have requested further review of their applications and the proposed recommendations. These 3 applications 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 these requesting reconsideration, so the list of recommended grants is reduced by one, not three).

RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY

Once Council had established the grants budget, staff amended their preliminary recommendations to reflect the approved total.

Following is a summary of the final 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 April 26th.

Appendix C lists all applications for 2001 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 2001 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

Since 1995 budget increases had been used primarily to fund new applicants and to provide increases to some organizations specifically for increased or improved services. As a result, most organizations did not have their grants increased to account for inflation. Consequently,the grants to most organizations had been falling behind, in terms of current dollar values. Last year, we were able to give a cost of living adjustment to over half the applicants, and again this year, we are able to recommend inflation adjustments of 1% (reflective of the inflationary increase approved for the grants budget) to 49 applicants. An inflationary adjustment has not been recommended where increases for other reasons are recommended (see below), where the organization did not request an increase or, in a few instances, where we are working with the group to bring about changes in funding or direction.

Staff are also recommending increases, beyond the inflation adjustment, for 14 organizations and one new grant. The recommended increases are for two purposes:

1. for service improvement and expansion

2. to increase salaries in situations where they are significantly below community standards

Also, the recommendation for #48 Nisha Family and Children Services is shown on the lists in the Appendices as an increase. While it is an increase in funding to this organization, it is a decrease for the service provided. Last year, $18,500 was approved to Immigrant Services Society for a Vietnamese Youth Worker for approximately 6 months. This service was then transferred to Nisha and a further $18,500 was approved, for a total of $37,000 for the Vietnamese Youth program. However, the grant to Nisha was approved at the end of the year, so the City funding can be carried over to the first part of this year. Consequently, staff are recommending only $21,000 to provide sufficient funding for the remainder of the year. We can anticipate the need next year to fund this program, if it is to continue, at the full amount.

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 few years. 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. A few applicants are still having trouble meeting these objectives, but staff are able to use the leverage afforded by the grants to continue to push for the changes that are needed.

Recommended Reserves

Once again staff are recommending that funding be set aside for 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. This is a very successful program, with increasing demand every year.

Staff are recommending that $20,000 be reserved for P.O.D. - this is a small increase over the amount that has been approved each year since the program's inception. Hopefully, this increase will generate increases from the co-funders and some of the unmet demand can be addressed. A report seeking Council's approval of specific P.O.D. grants will be submitted later in the year.

Staff are also recommending that $7,882 be reserved for emergencies and emerging needs. This reserve can also be used as a source of funding for any increases in grants that arise from the Reconsideration process.

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.
