TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Alvin Nash, Housing and Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Purchase of Services Grant Agreement— FY16
Project Concern 211/Information & Referral
DATE: July 14, 2015
Attached for City Council approval is the Purchase of Services Grant Agreement with
Project Concern for Fiscal Year 2016. The agreement includes attachment of the City
Council goals and priorities. This is a corrected Grant Agreement. The previously
submitted agreement was for CDBG funds. The Purchase of Services Grant award for
Project Concern 211/Information & Referral program is general funds. The corrected
agreement reflects the Adopted Fiscal Year 2016 operating budget.
The Adopted Fiscal Year 2016 operating budget reflects a payment of $2,500 general
fund to Project Concern for the 211/Information & Referral Program. The funding for this
program will assist Project Concern's 211 Center. The Center is unique from others in
the state of Iowa because in Dubuque, residents who call 211 are provided with free
and confidential information and referrals, but also those who walk into the agency for
help are provided with direct, personalized assistance. The 211 has the capability to
serve as Dubuque's centralized social service intake system, preventing duplication,
increased efficiency of services and less frustration for those residents living in poverty.
In 2014, 30% of 211's major needs were related directly to housing, while other major
needs were: food and clothing referrals, transportation assistance, and access to
employment, education, and mental health resources. The 211 system is able to identify
areas of unmet needs each month and Project Concern is able to then seek out
programs or services to meet those needs; thus providing a community needs
assessment of those of low socio-economic status in Dubuque.211 also serves as
Dubuque's 24 hour homeless hotline and Project Concern serves as Co-Chair of the
Dubuque Homeless Advisory Council. Project Concern is able to provide the City of
Dubuque collaborative data and demonstrate how, through existing partnerships, the
agency can collectively impact the economic status of those living in poverty in
Dubuque.
2-1-1 is an easy to remember telephone number that connects people with important
community services and volunteer opportunities. In 2013, 2-1-1 services in the United
States answered more than 15.6 million calls. The implementation of 2-1-1 is
spearheaded by United Ways and information and referral agencies in states and local
communities. United Way Worldwide (UWW) and the Alliance for Information and
Referral Systems (AIRS) are committed to providing national leadership so that every
American has access to this essential service.
RECOMMENDATION
It is my recommendation that the City Council approves the attached Purchase of
Services Grant Agreement with Project Concern and authorizes the Mayor to execute
the agreement on behalf of the City.
