TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Purchase of Services Grant Agreement — FY 2016
Opening Doors
DATE: June 29, 2015
The adopted Fiscal Year 2016 operating budget provides for the payment of $3,750 to
Opening Doors.
Housing and Community Development Department Director Alvin Nash recommends
City Council approval of the Purchase of Services Grant Agreement with Opening Doors
to assist with staff salaries for the Program Directors at Maria House and Teresa
Shelter. The Program Directors work directly with the women who reside at the shelters
to set life goals and create strategies to achieve them. Maria House and Teresa Shelter
provide much more than shelter to the women served. The Opening Doors philosophy
and programs help women to affirm their dignity and become empowered members of
the community. These programs work to break the cycle of homelessness.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Alvin Nash, Housing and Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Purchase of Services Grant Agreement— FY16
Opening Doors
DATE: June 25, 2015
Attached for City Council approval is the Purchase of Services Grant Agreement with
Opening Doors for Fiscal Year 2016. The agreement includes attachment of the City
Council goals and priorities.
The Adopted Fiscal Year 2016 operating budget reflects a payment of $3,750 to
Opening Doors for Program Staff Salaries. The funding for this program will assist with
staff salaries for the Program Directors at Maria House and Teresa Shelter. The
Program Directors work directly with the women who reside at the shelters to set life
goals and create strategies to achieve them. Maria House and Teresa Shelter provide
much more than shelter to the women served. The Opening Doors philosopy and
programs help women to affirm their dignity and become empowered members of the
community. These programs work to break the cycle of homelessness.
Both Maria House and Teresa Shelter are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
365 days a year. This is a major component of the program and also the largest
organizational expense. The grant funds would provide staff salaries and allow
unrestricted funds and donations to be used for other expenses of operating the
shelters.
Each woman who enters the Maria House or Teresa Shelter works with a Case
Manager to set personal life goals that may include increasing their income, finding
employment, returning to school, parenting goals, budgeting, substance abuse
counseling, finding permanent housing and more. These goals are individually catered
to meet the resident's needs. Opening Doors staff are committed to assisting each
individual women with more than just shelter.
RECOMMENDATION
It is my recommendation that the City Council approves the attached Purchase of
Services Grant Agreement with Opening Doors and authorizes the Mayor to execute the
agreement on behalf of the City.
