HEALTH and HUMAN SERVICES Date: March 30, 2019 To: Michael G HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 1420 Miner Street Des Plaines, IL 60016 P: 847.391.5300 desplaines.org MEMORANDUM Date: March 30, 2019 To: Michael G. Bartholomew, City Manager From: Kathy Puetz, Community Social Worker cc: John Light, Director of Human Resources Subject: 2019 Social Service Funding Issue: During the FY2019 Budget, the City Council approved $150,000 be allocated to Social Service Funding. These funds will be disbursed to social service agencies that provide services to Des Plaines residents that are in need. The Health and Human Services Division (HHS) has solicited and evaluated grant requests from the social service agencies that serve the Des Plaines community and seek City Council concurrence with the funding allocation as discussed and recommended. Analysis: The Health and Human Services Division contacted all of the social service agencies that received funding in prior years. In addition, a press release was created and released through the Media Services Division. The press release and the application were both available on the City’s website. HHS staff met with representatives of each agency that requested funding for 2019. The meeting included a brief agency presentation followed by questions. All of the agencies expressed their gratitude for the City’s program and stressed how valuable local support is for leveraging funding from other sources, government and/or private, which strengthens their service capabilities for residents. Of the 39 agencies requesting funding this year, there were 3 new applicants: “Clean-Up/Give Back” - “Community Backpack Project” - Northwest Compass “Helping Hands Program.” Of the 20 agencies that receive State funding, 8 agencies expressed that their funding has been delayed between 1 to 4 months. The remaining 13 agencies shared that at this time the State is current with their funding. HHS continues to utilize a point system to help assist with the allocation and distribution of the 2019 funding. The attached funding recommendations are based on the following criteria: • The number of Des Plaines clients served. • The percentage of Des Plaines clients served within the agency/program. • The program budget. • The abundance or scarcity of a service. Page 1 of 13 • Staff feedback of an agency’s performance (resident feedback, staff experience, need of program, and application/presentation). • Distribution of funding each year for agencies is based on the total number of applications received. • First time applicants received $1,500.00. • In 2018, Health and Human Services staff received over 2,000 office visits and calls for information and/or referrals. The agencies, along with the services they provide, assist in meeting the vital needs of Des Plaines residents. Recommendation: As a result of this process the 2019 recommendation is to fund the 39 agencies. A list of the 2019 recommendations and the point system spreadsheet are attached for review and approval of the City Council.
