Re: HUD Funding Application for Homeless Assistance
Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council's authorization of an application
to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for assistance to homeless
families and individuals.
Discussion
HUD annually offers funding, in national competition, for assistance to the homeless: under the
'~Confinuum of Care" funds category. Programs include capital grants for development of
shelters, assistance to persons with ADS, assistance to the chronically mentally ill homeless and
a variety of supportive services programs encouraging local initiatives to address identified
needs. This year's national allocation is in excess of $850 million.
HUD requires a locality, as a condition of application, to have in place a local consortium of
service providers, each providing assistance to the homeless at some point along the "continuum"
of needs. This continuum begins with emergency shelter and ends with provision of permanent
housing. It includes all necessary services, including mental health interventions, financial
assistance, job search and training, education and substance abuse counseling.
In preparation for submission of an application this year, the Housing Department has sponsored
a series of meetings with area service agencies in an attempt to consolidate the required
"consortium." Agencies which have participated in this process include:
Hillcrest Family Services
Opening Doors/Maria House
Substance Abuse Services Center
Gannon Center
County General Relief
DHS
YWCA Womens Shelter
Red Cross
Alternative SerVices
Area Agency on Aging
ISU Extension Office
Project ConcernfRTA
Operation New View
Four Oaks/Cornerstone
Visiting Nurses Association
Julian Care Facility
After three meetings with these agencies, needs were ranked and prioritized. In addition, a
number of proposals for new services - to be funded by the Continuum application - were
discussed and evaluated. Commitments for submission of applications were obtained from
several agencies; these are now in process These include staffing for the Maria House
transitional housing facility; a "one-stop" intake and referral system involving a collaborauve
effort among many service providers, sponsored by Project Concern; and a transitional housing
application from Hillcrest Family Services.
The role for the Housing Department has been to sponsor the formation of the consortium of
providers, Conduct the needs and gaps analysis and prepare, as part of the Continuum of Care
application, a narrative description of the existing service delivery system and the process used
to-date to establish the required agencies consortium These documents are attached to this
memoranaum. The City is not applying for the Continuum funds and will have no financial
obligation for program administration, in the event the planned application is funded by HUD.
Action Step
The action requested of the Council is to authorize the Mayor to execute the attached application
documents, including certification that the proposed activities and programs are consistent with
the current approved Consolidated Plan.
Part II. Continuum of Care Narrative
1. Planning Process
a. The City of Dubuque Homing Services Department is the lead entity for Dubuque's Continuum
of Care planning process.
b. The Housing Department convenes meetings of the planning consortium, comprised of 20 or
more local service agencies. The Department is represented by the housing manager, who reports
· directly to the City Manager regarding Continuum activities. This consortium meets several times
each year in preparation for agency- Continuum of Care funding applications to HUD.
In addition, many other entities participate in a year-round planning and assessment process
regarding Continuum needs and activities in Dubuque. The Community Development ·
Department works closely with Housing, represented by a neighborhood specialist who is
experienced in housing and p]annlng matters. The Ho~ing Department's Housing Commission
meets monthly to monitor activities and create policy relative to the activities of the City's
housing programs. The CD Department staffs another City Council-appointed commission - the
Commfinky Development Commission- which meets monthly to monitor all City activities fimded
through the 'Commutlity Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
The CD Commission also annually holds a series of public meetings with area non-profit agencies
to assess needs for housing and supportive services for the City's low-moderate income
populatiorz A product of this process is the annual $2.1 million CDBG budget and the annual
HUD Consolidated Plar~ The Housing and Community Development Department~ collaborate in
this process and in authorship of the Consolidated Pla~
The Homeless Coordinating Board, staffed by the Garmon Community Mental Health Center,
meets quarterly to review Continuum activities and particularly to review agency applications for
funding to assist homeless persons. The Gannon Center receives an annual PATH program
appropriation from the Iowa Division of Mental Health and operates th/s program in collaboration
with the Housing Department. The Coordinating Board is comprised of about a dozen'agencies
which actively participate in Continuum programs.
The Friends of the Community - a loosely-organized consortium of about 40 area sochl se~wice,
health care, education and government agencies - meets weekly to maintain an active network of
collaboration and communications. The Friends have been meeting in this manner for more than
20 years. The networking and relationship-building that occurs insures that needs are
continuously examined and that agencies work closely together to effectively provide targeted and
focused programs for the benefit of the City's disadvantaged populations.
Finally, the County Board of Supervisors has appointed a standing Housing Stakeholders
Subcommittee, which meets monthly to assess needs and coordinate activities provided through a
network of housing and supportive services agencies. This is coordinated through the County's
staff person respons~le for delivering managed mental health care services to elig~le persons and
families throughout Dubuque and Dubuque County.

c. CofC phtm~g process diagram; attached.
d. The Continuum has met three times, in March and April, to discuss this year's application
process. Our main topics have been a thorough assessment of the Gaps Analysis and continuing
discussions of appropriate agency applications to address identified housing and supportive
services needs.
2. Under Development
a. Dubuque has an effective system for combating homelessness, provided through the many
service, housing and other non-profit agencies which deliver assistance. However, it is not well
coordinated; it is more a loosely-structured network of agencies each acting relatively
independently.
Our vision is to better coordinate the work of these agencies and to establish a central '~point of
entry" for homeless persons to enter the Continuum of services. Currently, homeless persons and
f~milles must "shop" for services, offered through a fiagmented system. These persons may have
to go from agency to agency, throughout the city from one location to another, in order to obtain
necessary services. Transportation is often an obstacle. Language and cultural differences may be
an obstacle. People get "lost" in the system. In addition, we need to establish a cenmfl agency to
better coordinate year-round planning, assessment and data entry efforts; in other words, to
operate a "Continuum" process throughout the year rather than only in a year-end response to
HUD's "supemofa" funding opportunities.
b. Strategy; attached in format provided
In developing this flow chart, the agencies participating ha the series of Continuum of Care
planrffa~ sessions outlined the difficulties in the cra-rent system. A person arriving at the Rescue
Mission (or any other shelter) has difficulties accessing funds to ~ him/her t9 housing as DHS
and General Reliefrequire an address. 'A person in the domestic violence shelter has difficulties
being reached as the phone number and address are confidential. Persons must have a notice of
eviction to access sOme funds. Those with mental illness lose paperwork or do not quickly follow
through and unknowing providers assume they have chosen other senSces. Servic6 providers
located on the west side ofto~a do not offer transportation to the east side/downtown where the
shekers are located. The group struggled with the ideas ofeollaboration: the step beyond
coordination of services. There is much work to be done in developing a continuum of care in
Dubuque.
The current system serves veteranS, persons with mental illness, substance abuse, H/V/AIDS,
unsheltered homeless persons and persons with severe disabilities. Generally, if people do not
need to be categorized or served exclusively through categorical programs, the system provides
services to meet individual needs. For example, we do not have a large HIV/AIDS population,
but serve these persons through homeless outreach efforts and case management. When it is most
eflScient to serve a sub-population with similar services or a funding stream drives categorization,
services/programs/facilities are offered to a targeted sub-population, i.e., persons with severe
disabilities.

~ o o
The Continuum of Care system in Dubuque has been to-date informally monitored and
coordinated through the Homing Serv/ces Department and the local Homeless Coordinating
Board. These efforts have focused primarily on movement from homelessness to shelter. The
work of community groups dur~g the past one-two years, coming together regarding the issues
of housing, has opened up a broader understanding of the homelessness services system as a
continuum of care concept. The Committee has only recently begun to meet to focus on the
broader vision from homelessness to permanent housing. As such, longer-term goals, mission,
visioning and strategic planning have not yet taken place. These are the agenda items for the
permanent, "year-round" committee to be established. As we have completed our annual reviews
of the gaps analysis, this group has developed a vision of a system that can be accessed eas~y
from any point in the community: a system that is responsive to the unique needs of each
individual and family
During the initial planning sessions of the Continuum of Ca~e Committee, we reviewed and
revised the gaps analysis and compared these findings with the University of Iowa study. 'These
priorities were reviewed again by the Community Development Commission as part of the process
for developing the Consolidated Plan. In completing these steps, the Committee brain-stormed to
determine who is homeless and not being currently served. Persons who are jobless, have serious
mental illness, have severe disabilities, have substance abuse issues, are youth or elderly or who
are persons leav~g domestic violence situatious were suggested to be least likely to "fit" into the
current service system and least able to negotiate the system.
The Committee summarized priorities ahd determined a need for additiohal transitional housing
for women and children, as well as the single-point-of-entry services concept. For this "one-stop
shop" approach, the Committee suggested two distinct approaches: the provision of staff to
connect persons and famil/es, including the "hard to engage" homeless, into the services system;
gnd access by all participating agencies to "wrap-around"-type funds to flexa'bly address the needs
of homeless persons - who could then enter the service system from any agency. These funds
might pay for a deposit of other housing entry cost. Or purchase services from any agency that
the person/family needs, but for which they would not otherwise be eligible.
c. Fundamental components
cl. Prevention
Services in place:
The Workfome Development Center offers an array of counseling, testing, training and
referral programs for the unemployed. The Gannon Community Mental Health Center
provides outpatient mental health counseling and a drop-in center for aduks. The Rescue
Mission and the Visiting Nurses Association operate health clinics in cooperation with
area physicians. Two food pantrys operate in the City. The County Veteran's Office
assists area veterans. TheGeneralReliefofficeofr'ersemergencyf~r~ncialassistance. The
Department of Human Services provides a variety of income maintenance and case
management programs to assist persons and families. The Housing Services Department
contracts with HUD for 1045 Section 8 rent-assisted units. Scenic Valley Agency on
Aging provides numerous services to senior citizens. The Substance Abuse Services
Center (SASC) offers substance abuse counseling and therapy groups. Project Concem's
Information and Referral activity staffs a 24-crisis line and a computer-generated referral
directory of all available supportive services in the area. The Red Cross, Salvation Army,
Operation New View CAA and St Vincent de Paul offer emergency funds and a variety of
crisis-oriented services. And Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services offer case
management and cotmseling services.
Ser,Aces planned:
Single point of entry concept
How homeless access services:
Persons needing these services access this system by learning to "negotiate" it to their
advantage. Once entered, the system works well in the sense that referrals are made
through an informal network. But gaps (such as transportation) and obstacles (such as a
maze of in~vidual agency applications) exist to confuse and discourage those-apply/ng.
c2. Outreach/assessment Services in place:
The Gannon Comm~lnity Support Center provides a homeless outreach stafl~ funded
through a State Division of Mental Health PATH grant, emphasizing services to homeless
chronically mentally ill persons. The outreach worker maintains regular hours at the
Rescue Mission homeless shelter and weekly visits known places where homeless persons
are know to ~¥eside" under bridges and in abandoned buildings. Operation New- View
Cornm~ll~ Action Agency employs three full-time outreach workers. 'These aaff visit
persons in their homes or on the street to link them with services; provide deposit funds,
furnishings or clothing; and walk them through the service system. Project Concern
provides referral services, either through drop-ins at their office or by phone. The Crisis
Line operates 24 hours/day.
Intake and assessnient is provided by a mtmber of agencies, including DHS, General
Relief, Lutheran Social Services, Alternative Services, Four Oaks/Cornerstone, Catholic
Charities, Helping Services of Northeast Iowa, Operation New View, Scenic Valley,
Substance Abuse (SASC) and the Dubuque County CPC Coordinator.
These services are coordinated as appropriate with the Visiting Nurses Association, the
Red Cross, County Veterans Office, Salvation Anuy, the City Health Services Department
and Legal Services.
Services planned:
Single point of entry concept
How accessed:
(see discussion under "Prevention," above)
c3. Emergency Shelter Services in place:
The Dubuque Rescue iVEssion has been in continuous operation since the 1930's. It
currently has six emergency (three-day) beds for men and 12 longer-term beds for men
enrolling in the NEssion's Personal Employment (PEP) Program.
The Washington Neighborhood Shelter provides emergency housing for women and
women with children. On occasion, men may also stay with their rambles. Approximately
12 persons may be served at capacity.
Hope House also provides emergency housing for families (including men). Longer-term
stays may be allowed. Approximately 8 persons may be served at capacity.
The YWCA domestic violence shelter allows stays up to 60 days, with a capacity to serve
as many as three victim families.
Hillcrest Family Services has a 13-bed emergency youth shelter for teens; 30-day stays are
allowed. Hillcrest's "Safe Haven" program has four emergency beds for kids ages 3-12.
The recently-opened Maria House provides one-two beds for emergency stays, for women
and children.
Services planned: ·
No additional emergency shelter fac/lities are currently planned.
How accessed:
(see discussion under "Prevention, ~ above)
c4. Transitional housing ~ Services in place:
As mentioned, the Rescue Mission provides transitional housing for men participating in
their PEP Program.
Maria House has opened during the past year and now provides housing for up to 18
women and chikh-en. Stays from six months to two years are allowed. Funding for this
facility was provided by the Housing Department, through an IDED Local Housing
Assistance Program grant; and a grant from the Des Moines Federal Home Loan Bank,
sponsored by local member Dubuque Bank and Trust. Currently, although the facil/ty has
a waiting list, only 12 persons are served, due to the need to fund additional staffto
supervise additional residents.
Hillcrest Family Services operates a transitional independent living program for
adolescents moving from om-of-home placements to independence.
Hillcrest also rans two five-bed group homes for chronically mentally ill adults. And their
Family Empowerment Program operates three apartments for families in transition, with
stays up to six months.
The Substance Abuse Services Center operates a nine-bed halfway house (Stepping Stone)
for men and women participating in a recovery program~ Stays of up to six months are
allowed.
Services planned:
HJllcrest is planning to expand their Family Empowerment Program, by purchasing
additional housing (as many as six additional apartments). This is an effective program,
as it takes in families in crisis - and facing homelessness - providing short-term housing,
counseling and referrals, heading off the otherwise inevitable outcome of loss of housing.
It operates/tn partnership with the City Housing Services office, which provides Section 8
rental assistance on a "project-based" priority basis.
How accessed:
Transitional housing providers receive referrals fi:om emergency housing providers and
fi:om a variety of other sources. The Housing Department refers families which are
waiting for Section 8 assistance to Maria House. The juvenile justice system places youth
in the Hitlcrest facilities. SASC's facility receives residents fi:om throughout the State,
through court-ordered placements.
c5: Permanent housing . Services in place:
The Housing Services Department administers Section 8 rental assistance for 1045
households. These include housing certificates, vouchers and "moderate rehabilitation
program" units. The Garfield House SRO facility - for 11 homeless men - is funded
through a mod rehab SRO (single mom occupancy) grant received by the City from HUD.
A number of other hous/ng providers offer peimanently affordable rental housing. The
Alvemo Apartments, St Mary's and Ecumenical Towers projects contain 291 HUD-
subsidized units for seniors. Another 249 subsidized f~mnily units are provided at Kennedy
Manor, Hillcrest Apartments and Sheridan Village.
Services planned:
The Housing Department continuously makes application for additional Section 8 units, as
made available by HUD. In the past two years, we have received 92 additional units, fi:om
incremental voucher funding (the first since 1995) and the Mainstream Program, for
disabled families.
Now under construction Js an 18-bed SRO facility for men, privately owned and funded in
part with another Housing Department-sponsored IDED Local Housing Assistance
Program grant in the amount of $200 000.
With more than $500 000 in City financqal assistance provided through the Housing and
Community Development Departments, conversion of the former YMCA/Iowa Inn into
31 apartments will be accomplished this year. MetroPlains Development, from St Paul,
received a $2.5 milTioI1 award from the Iowa Finance Authority's low-income housing tax
credit program for this project.
How accessed:
Section 8 housing is accessed through application to a w~ting list at the Housing Services
Department. All providers of rent-assisted housing in Dubuque share referrals and waiting
list information, in order to maximize utilization of units and minimize waiting time for
applicants. The Housing Department also annually contracts with the Loras College
Center for Business and Social Research to conduct a Cit?wide survey of rents and
occupancy rates. This information is published by the Housing Department to assist
apartment owners in marketing their units.
The Housing Department also maintains a listing of vacant units - both subsidized and
open market - which is compiled from information provided by landlords and made
available at no charge to the public; this listing is up-dated as often as weekly. The
Housing Department and the East Central Intergovernmental Agency (ECIA) also share
information and mutually refer fiamilies seeking subsidized housing. ECIA admin/sters
both Section 8 and public housing throughout the balance of Dubuque County.
c6. Permanent supportive housing Services in place:
The Housing Services Department administers a Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program
for 45 hmifies. Case management services are provided to these famil/es, using HUD FSS
Coordinator grant funds, through a contract with Alternative Services Inc. In addkion,
the Housing Department admlni~ters a '~amily Advocacf' program, provid/~g crisis'
services to Section 8 families in danger of losing their ass/stance. 'The Department
contracts with the Four Oaks agency'to provide these services.
Heartland Housing In/tiative (affilhted with Mercy Housing/Denver), owns and operates
67 units of affordable housing. Tenants are required to participate in a program of
supportive services offered by Heartland.
The Center for Public Ministry o~ms and operates a nine-room SRO and provides
supportive services to its tenants.
The local community housing development organization (CHI)O) - known as Gateways to
Home - owns and operates three housing units. Their residents also participate in
supportive services programs as a condition of tenancy.
Area Residential Care owns and operates 17 community living homes for 111 disabled
adults; and additionally operates nine supervised apartments for 31 individuals. ARC
provides residential treatment services and vocational training programs for its residents.
The Hills and Dales Child Development Center is a residential treatmem facility for 42
disabled yomh and young adults, providing 24-hour nursing care.
Hillcrest Family Services has a campus with group homes offering 65 residential treatment
beds for adolescents no longer able to live at home. Bertsch Farm is a specialized foster
care program for 3-4 adolescents who have completed residential treatment but who are
not mtumiag to their familial homes.
The Dubuque County Julien Care Facgity provides institutional residential care for elderly
mentally ill and disabled, with 92 beds, The County-owned Sunnycrest Manor provides
104 geriatric care beds and 28 additioml beds for elderly mentally ill or developmentally
disabled.
Services planned: '
No additional permanent supportive housing units are currently being planned..
How accessed:
Access to this housing system is provided through the network of providers participating
in the Continuum system, including the Housing Services Department, the County
Stakeholders Housing Subcommittee, Friends of the ~ommunity, the Homeless
Coordinating Board/Gaunon Center and the many other participating service agencies.
c7. sUpPortive services Services in place:
The current supportive services system in place in Dubuque has been previously descn~bed
in this section (c), under discussion of prevention and outreach/assessment services.
Treatmpnt services are provided as well by the two area hospitals - Mercy Health
Center/Medical Associates and Finley Hospital. Mercy operates a psychiatric unit and a
"Training Point" in-patient program for substance abusers. The Gannon Center provides
psychiatric out-patient services for mentally ill persons. Active local chapters of
. · Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous assist their client populations.
Services planned:
To better coordinate these services, create a comprehensive data management and
tracking system and to facilitate year-round plarming and assessment efforts, a single point
of entry system for homeless persons and families has been proposed.
Another need in the services system f~equently identified in planning and survey efforts is
additional dental care for indigent persons. Currently, assistance is provided only on a
limited basis through NICC's dental clinic. Discussions are on-going regarding ways to
enlist area dental care providers in a program of voluntary services.

d. Movement of homeless persons through the system; linkages
Movement of homeless persons from one component of the Continuum of Care system to another
depends on an informal referral network of service provider agencies. This occurs through the
linkages previously described, including those between and among the Homeless Coordinating
Board/Gannon Center, County Housing Stakeholders Committee, Friends of the Comm~mity
agencies and the Housing Services Department. Two agencies which play critical roles in this
referral process include Operation New View CAA and Project Concerto Dubuque's system is
informal but effective in the se~e that provider agencies are familiar with each other and
cooperate in serving mutual clients. However, the system is ineffective in that homeless persons
enter it without a "system advocate," and must negotiate it on their own.
e. Subpopulations; attached in format provided
3. Gaps and Priorities
a. Gaps Analysis Chart; attached ia format provided
b. Data sources; attached in format provided
c. CofC process
A number of groups and agencies comtmmieate throughout the year, coordinating programs of
asslstance and reporting and responding to needs ofthe homeless, as identified. These entities
include the County Housing Stakeholders Committee, the Friends of the Commarfly, the
Homeless Coordinating Board and the efforts of the City Housing and Co.mmnnity DeveloPment
Departments and the City Council-appointed commissions. These efforts produce several annual
"formal" documents, including the CDBG Annual Action Plan and budget and the PHA Annual
Agency Plan. Each five years a revised Consolidated Plan is also produced, the product of an
extensive public participation and review process. And the CD Department produces the annual
CAPERS report, detailing all the City's efforts in assistance to' lower-income persons and
including the Annual Performance Report written by the Hou~ing Department emphasiTJng
housing assistance.
Each year, in a more specific response to HUD's annual Continuum of Care funds availability, the
Housing Department convenes a series of meetings of shelter and service provider agencies, to-
up-date the Gaps Analysis, identify needs to be addressed and propose and rank agency
applications. These meetings - usually three or four in number - occur dur~g the February-April
period, bringing together 20 or more agencies to share their expertise.
RecogniTJng the ne~d to establish a year-round Carl2 planning and coordination process, the City
last year sponsored an application, written by Project Concern, to create a "single point of entry"
system"' for coordination of homeless services; and to administer the formal CofC planning
process. This application was not recommended for funding, although it was highest-ranked by
the Dubuque CofC pl~g committee.
This year, the need for this formalized planning and coordination process has again been ranked
highest by the CofC planning committee. This year's application, again written by Project
Concern, has additionally been co-spousored by Hillcrest Family Services, to include a transitional
housing facility for women and children, to expand Hillcrest's exist~g successful Family
Empowerment Program. The combination of shelter, supportive services, year-round
coordination and management of the Homeless Managerae~ Information System (HMIS) - in a
partnership effort of two established area non-profit agencies - is the number one ranked
application. Because this single-point-of-entry system encompasses the entite continuum o f
services, it does not readily lend itself to the ranking criteria in the Gaps Analysis. In other words,
this system is des~ned to address all service and shelter needs of all the categories of homeless
individ~,ls and f~rmilles with cln~dren. For this reason, it is not "reco~ni~ed' in the "relative
priority" ranking system utilized in the Analysis, under the categories of"beds/unks," "services
slots" or "subpopulations." Yet because this proposed system will establish a year-round
Continuum of Care planning_and ass~sment process, provide needed additional transitional
housing and'provide the central "entrf' for homeless persous entering Dubuque's network of
services, it is the highest ranked relative priority as determined by our CofC agency planning
participants.
d. Project priorities; attached in format provided
e. How proposed projects will fill Continuum gaps
The partnership project submitted by Project Concem/ltil!crest FaCn~y Services addresses an
overall need of Dubuque's Continaum of Care system. That is a single point of entry/coordlnated
intake and referral mechanism for assisting homeless persons attempting to enter the systera. As
well, as the cenl~ data collection point, this project wRl be the initial management agent for the
new Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Project Concern will also become the
responsible agency for coordinating a yar-round Continuum ~Care planning process. Finally,
this project will provide additional transitional housing units for women and children, under
Hillcrest's successful Family Empowerment Program. This is a priority need for serving
Dubuque's homeless and at-risk homeless population.
'The Maria House application addresses a need that has become evident during the past year -
since this transitional housing fac'~i~ for women and children first opened its cfoors. The facility
has quickly filled, and even developed a waiting list, as the continuing need for this type of
housing assistance remains a priority need in Dubuque. Now, as Mafia House "graduates" are
beginning to transition to more permanent and permanent-supported housing, a need for legal
advocacy for these women has become increasingly apparent. The Mafia House request is for a
staffperson to serve in this capacity. As well, in order to better coordinate community volunteers,
a community outreach staffposition is also being requested.
£ Relationship between project priorities and Gaps Aualysis relative priorities
As documented in the Gaps Analysis, the need for transitional housing for women and children
remains a high priority in Dubuque. For this reason, both proposed projects include this as a
central component - at Maria House and at Hillerest's Family Empowerment shelter.
AS discussed in Section 3c., above, "rationale for completing the relative priority 'column," the
highest-ranked proposal - the single-point-of-entry and HMIS ma~gement system to he
coordinated by Project Concern - is not readily "categorizable" under the Gaps Analysis format.
The proposed system will impact Dubuque's Continuum of Care in a wholistic way, creating a
mechanism for homeless to access the CofC and to negotiate services among providers
"seamlessly." It will establish a year-round CofC participation process for provider agencies,
enabling us to do a better job of assessment, reporting and coordination; and, ultimately, a more
efficient and effective job of utilizing our resources.
g. Project selection process
The CofC plarming committee met three times in March and April, up-dating the Gaps Analysis,
identifying needs and brain-storming program ideas. Once individual agencies had volunteered to
develop proposals and CofC .applications, these were subsequently reviewed by the planning
committee and rartked, according to the relative priorities ranking previously completed by the
committee.. About a dozen agencies actively participated throughout this Process. However, a
mailing list of more than 30 agencies was maintained; each of these agencies received agendas and
minutes of all CofC meetings held by the smaller group. This larger group also received copies of
the Continuum narrative prepared by the Housing Services Department. All agencies vCere
encouraged to review and comment on these materials. Finally, the request for sponsorship of the
completed application was approved by the City Council.
