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.

Approval of grant recommendations requires eight affirmative votes.

SUMMARY

With this report, Social Planning staff are recommending approval of 89 Community Services Grants, at a total cost of $2,780,902. We are also recommending continuation of three reserves: the Partners in Organizational Development reserve, the Multi-cultural Family reserve (renamed to Family and Youth Support Reserve, to reflect possible expanded uses for the reserve), and the Cross-cultural reserve. There is a difference of $13,198 between the total value of the recommended allocations (including the reserves) and the grants budget established by Council on February 25, 1999 - we are recommending that this balance be kept aside for emergencies or unforeseen circumstances.

Two applicants have advised us that they disagree with our recommendations, and have requested reconsideration. Consequently, these two 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 1999 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 1999 Community Services Grants budget was set by Council on February 25, 1999 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 97 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. Two 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 two 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 these 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:

	1999	1998	1997
Recommended at the same level	69	66	75
Recommended increase: - inflation adjustment	0	0	0
- other increase	19	16	5
Recommended new grants	1	4	4
Recommended decrease	1	3	7
Recommended terminating grant	1	6	2
No grant recommended	6	13	20
Total	97	108	113

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 29th.

Appendix C lists all applications for 1999 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 1999 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

Although the CSG budget for 1999 is the same as last year’s, there was some additional funding freed up because of grants that were terminated or reduced last year. Consequently, staff have been able to recommend increases for 19 organizations, as compared to 16 and 5 in the previous two years. These increases are recommended where there are demonstrated increases in service, improvements to service or adjustments are needed to bring the program funding in line with other similar programs.

The one recommended decrease is for a youth worker at Mt Pleasant Community Centre that was terminated last year because the Park Board made a commitment to provide a youth worker with their own resources. However, the Community Centre Association re-applied for a grant because they weren’t convinced that the Park Board would be able to follow up with its commitment.

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 others that are not so clearly defined. For instance, both the Health Ministry and the Ministry for Children and Families accept a certain level of responsibility for preventative services; it has been unclear exactly what services come within this purview. Complicating the matter is the fact that both ministries are currently going through major restructuring and redefinition of priorities.

At this time, there is one organization (Family Services - VISAC) that is delivering services that are falling more and more within the changing mandates of the provincial government. Therefore staff are recommending a terminating grant for this program. It is quite possible that other organizations could find themselves shifting into (or out of) the mandates of other levels of government as the restructuring, at all levels, continues. Staff will keep Council apprised of the situation as it evolves.

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.

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 $18,000 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.

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.

Included in the projects funded to date are 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. Family and Youth Support (previously called the Multi-cultural Family Support Reserve) - A reserve of $30,000 is recommended in the 1999 Community Services Grants budget to allow follow-up to existing initiatives and identified needs for family and youth support. The reserve will assist with such work as the implementation of the recommendations arising from last year's initiative on the needs in smaller ethno-cultural communities.

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.
