WE ARE NOW A PUBLIC HEARS.

THIS ITEM IS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 THROUGH 2022 CDBG AND HOME ALLOCATIONS AND STAFF.

WILL YOU PLEASE TELL US ALL ABOUT THIS? HI.

HELLO.

ALL RIGHT, SO GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE OR SORRY.

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS TO SEEK PUBLIC INPUT AND THE CITY COUNCILS DECISIONS ON THE PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS. THE CITY WILL UNDERTAKE DURING FISCAL YEAR 2223.

THIS IS TO ADDRESS THE GOALS AND PRIORITIES IN THE FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN TO INCLUDE BOTH REGULAR CDBG AND HOME ALLOCATIONS THAT ARE RECEIVED ANNUALLY BY THE CITY.

THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS ALSO TO AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 21 22 1.

YOUR ACTION PLAN.

I WILL BEGIN BY DISCUSSING THE CDBG PORTION OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2223.

WHEN YOUR ACTION PLAN, THEN I WILL TURN IT OVER TO JAMIE TO CONCLUDE WITH THE HOME PORTION AND PROCEED TO DISCUSS THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

UH, THE FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN IS THE CITY'S PLAN FOR ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF ALCOHOL'S LOW INCOME COMMUNITY OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD.

THIS IS USING BOTH CDBG AND HOME FUNDS.

WHEN YOUR ACTION PLAN IS REQUIRED FOR EACH YEAR OF THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN, THE ACTION PLAN IDENTIFIES THE PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES.

THE CITY WILL UNDERTAKE DURING THAT YEAR TO ADDRESS THE GOALS AND PRIORITIES AND THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN.

FISCAL YEAR 2023 WILL BE THE FIRST YEAR OF THE CURRENT FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN PROJECTS THAT AREN'T THERE TONIGHT WITH WHEN THE CORE OF THE ACTION PLAN, AND IT IS A FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR CDBG FUNDING IS PUBLISHED AND THE APPLICATION PERIOD FOR CDBG PROPER PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS IS MADE AVAILABLE FOR NOVEMBER 11 TO DECEMBER 16TH, 2021.

DURING THIS TIME A TOTAL OF MINE ELIGIBLE APPLICATIONS WERE RECEIVED THE ACTUAL LOCATIONS OF CITY BG AND HUMP FUNDING FOR FISCAL YEAR 20 20, 23 HAVE NOT YET BEEN ANNOUNCED BY HUD HERE.

YOU CAN SEE THE HISTORICAL LEVELS OF CITY BG AND HOME FUNDING OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, ALONG WITH THE ESTIMATED FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 22, 23 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2223, THE TOTAL CITY BG FUNDING IS EXPECTED TO BE $1.3 MILLION.

THE TOTAL HUMP FUNDING IS EXPECTED TO BE APPROXIMATELY $630,000.

THE ACTUAL FUNDING AMOUNTS COULD BE HIGHER ONCE THE ACTUAL ALLOCATIONS ARE ANNOUNCED, THERE ARE MAXIMUM PERCENTAGES THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED WHEN ALLOCATING CDBG FUNDING FOR PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION PROJECTS.

THE CITY MAY ALLOCATE MORE THAN 20% OF THE TOTAL ALLOCATION FOR PROBATE TO SERVICE PROGRAMS. THE MAXIMUM WAS 15% AND THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE PERCENTAGE OF FUNDS

[00:05:01]

IN ADDITION TO THAT LENGTHEN 3 MILLION STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED $200,000 IN CDBG FUNDS ALLOCATED TO THE HOUSING AND HABILITATION PROGRAM.

AND THAT HAS CARRIED OVER FROM PREVIOUS YEARS.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CDBG FUNDING ALLOCATIONS ARE LISTED HERE AND ARE ALSO ATTACHMENT TO EVERY AGENDA REPORT FOR PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION.

STAFF RECOMMENDS FUNDING FOR ADMINISTRATION OF CDBG M HOME PROGRAMS AND THE AMOUNT OF $235,000.

AND FOR FAIR HOUSING SERVICES AND THE AMOUNT OF $5,000 IN CDBG FUNDS, WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDING AN ADDITIONAL $5,000 FROM HIM FUNDING.

UM, AND THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT OF 30,000 GOING TO SAN DIEGO COUNTY FOR FAIR HOUSING SERVICES UNDER THE PUBLIC FACILITIES CAPITAL AND OTHER CATEGORY.

STAFF RECOMMENDS A TWO FOR ALLOCATING THE SAME $200,000 AND CARRY OVER FUNDING FROM PREVIOUS YEARS FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE CITY'S HOUSING AND HER ROTATION ON PROGRAM STAFF ALSO RECOMMENDS THE CONTINUATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET LIGHTS PROJECT.

AND THAT IS IN THE AMOUNT OF 845,000.

THIS WOULD BE JIM MINISTRATION AND NEIGHBORHOOD STREETLIGHTS PROJECTS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR INCREASES OR DECREASES IN FUNDING WHEN THE ACTUAL FINAL ALLOCATIONS ARE KNOWN AND DO THE PUBLIC SERVICES CATEGORY FUNDING ON LOCATIONS LIKE MENTIONED CANNOT EXCEED 15% OF THAT TOTAL GRANT AMOUNT STAFF RECOMMENDS FUNDING FOR THE FOLLOWING, THE CRANK FEE MULTI HOUSING PROGRAM AND THE AMOUNT OF 49,107, THE EMERGENCY SHELTER PROGRAM AND THE AMOUNT OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND, THE SENIOR CARE COORDINATION PROGRAM AND THE AMOUNT OF 10,000, THE ROTATIONAL SHELTER PROGRAM AND THE AMOUNT OF 10,893.

AND THE MEALS ON WHEELS, ALCOHOL PROGRAM AND THE AMOUNT OF 25,000.

THIS MAKES THE TOTAL CITY WITH GEOLOCATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 22, 23, INCLUDING PRIORITY FUNDS, A TOTAL OF $1.5 MILLION.

I WILL NOW GO AHEAD AND TURN IT OVER TO JAMIE.

SHE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE PRESENTATION AND SHE WILL ALSO BE DISCUSSING THE HOME PROGRAM.

THANK YOU AND JEREMY, GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

UH, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOME FUNDING ARE LISTED HERE AND ON ATTACHMENT THREE OF YOUR STAFF REPORT, WE HAVE THE SAME CAPS OR SIMILAR CAPS.

WE HAVE A 10% MAXIMUM WE'RE RECOMMENDING FOR HOME ADMINISTRATION AND THE 5,000 FOR FAIR HOUSING SERVICES WITH CSA SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

WE HAVE THE 15% MINIMUM FOR THE TOTAL ALLOCATION THAT GOES INTO RESERVE UNTIL A PROJECT IS IDENTIFIED.

AND THEN WE'RE RECOMMENDING THE REMAINDER FOR THE ONGOING HOUSING PROGRAMS, INCLUDING FIRST TIME HOME BUYER AND THE SINGLE FAMILY REHABILITATION PROGRAM.

SO THAT REMAINDER IS 472,500.

IF THE TOTAL HOME ALLOCATION IS 630,000 FOLLOWING APPROVAL OF THE TENANT OF ALLOCATIONS OF CDBG AND HOME, THE NEXT STEPS WILL INCLUDE PREPARING THE ACTION PLAN DOCUMENT AND PUBLISHING A SUMMARY CONDUCTING THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 26 FOR FINAL APPROVAL OF THE ALLOCATIONS AND ADOPTION OF THE ONE-YEAR PLAN.

FOLLOWING THAT THE ACTION PLAN IS SUBMITTED TO HUD, HAD REVIEW AND APPROVAL ARE REQUIRED, AND ONCE APPROVED, THE FUNDS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE.

AND THE PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS BEGIN IMPLEMENTATION ON OR ABOUT JULY 1ST OF 22, IN ADDITION TO THAT, STAFF IS SEEKING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL FOR A PROPOSED FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CURRENT YEAR ACTION PLAN.

AS YOU MAY KNOW, THE CITY ADMINISTERS THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAM INTERNALLY, AND THE PROGRAM HELPS LOW-INCOME FAMILIES TO PURCHASE THEIR FIRST HOME IN ALCOHOL BY PROVIDING LOANS WITH VERY FAVORABLE TERMS FOR DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE.

THE PROGRAM IS COMPLEX AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM REQUIRES STAFF WITH SPECIFIC SKILLS AND LENDING PRACTICES, WHICH ARE ALSO LAYERED WITH HOME REGULATIONS IN ORDER TO ADMINISTER A FULLY COMPLIANT PROGRAM WITH ANY STAFF TURNOVER, THESE SKILLS CAN BE LOST AND CAN BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE AND TAKE A LONG TIME TO RELEARN.

IN

[00:10:01]

IT'S NO LONGER PRACTICAL OR EFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN STAFF TRAINED AND DEDICATED SOLELY TO THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAM, WHICH CAN PRESENT RISKS FOR THE CITY AND CAN PRODUCE INCONSISTENT RESULTS.

THE TABLE AT THE BOTTOM GIVES YOU A BRIEF LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF FIRST TIME HOME BUYER LOANS COMPLETED IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

SO OVER THAT LAST FIVE YEARS, A TOTAL OF 19 LOANS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, BUT KIND OF ON A CRAZY CURVE THERE WITH THESE CONCERNS IN MIND, STAFF CONDUCTED RESEARCH TO EXPLORE THE USE OF A SUB-RECIPIENT TO ADMINISTER, UH, THE FIRST TIME HOME HOMEBUYER PROGRAM FULLY ON BEHALF OF THE CITY.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE, UH, PAID ATTENTION TO, UH, AN IDENTIFIED AVAILABLE FUNDS UNDER THE HOME PROGRAM WITH THESE CONCERNS.

I'M SORRY, AS OUTLINING YOUR GENDER REPORT, THE POOL OF FUNDS CURRENTLY HAS A BALANCE OF 2.967 MILLION IN UNCOMMITTED FUNDS, INCLUDING 1.39 MILLION THAT IS PROGRAM INCOME RECEIVED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

THE REMAINDER IS ACCUMULATED AND ENTITLEMENT FUNDS FROM THE LAST THREE OR SO YEARS.

IN ADDITION, CALLAGHAN FUNDS ARE PERIODICALLY RECEIVED FROM THE REPAYMENT OF LOANS WE MADE PREVIOUSLY USING CALHOUN FUNDS THAT WERE AVAILABLE IN PAST YEARS.

SO THERE'S CURRENTLY A BALANCE OF 64,588, AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO REUSE THAT FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROGRAM.

FIRST TIME HOME BUYER, AS PART OF OUR RESEARCH CONDUCTED, WE PULLED OTHER JURISDICTIONS, OTHER CITIES AND THE COUNTY, UH, TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER WHETHER THEY ARE USING OUTSIDE AGENCIES FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THEIR FIRST TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAMS. AND IF SO, WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICES RECEIVED IN THOSE DISCUSSIONS, WE LEARNED THAT THREE AGENCIES ARE PROVIDING VARIOUS PORTIONS OF THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYER SERVICES TO THE JURISDICTIONS.

HOWEVER, ONE OF THE AGENCIES IS PROVIDING ONLY THE UNDERWRITING SERVICES PORTION OF IT, AND ANOTHER AGENCY PROVIDED THE SERVICES FOR A YEAR, BUT THEN RECENTLY TOLD THAT CITY THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER IN THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYER, OUR BUSINESS.

SO WE ALSO INTERNALLY USE ONE AGENCY THAT HELPS US WITH UNDERWRITING AS A HOUSING CONSULTANT, BUT THEY'RE NOT DOING THE FULL ADMINISTRATION.

AND, UM, IT COMES A LOT OF IT COMES BACK.

SO ONE AGENCY DID STAND OUT.

IT'S CURRENTLY PROVIDING FULL SCOPE ADMINISTRATION OF THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS PROGRAMS FOR THE TWO LARGEST JURISDICTIONS IN THE COUNTY.

AND I KNOW CITY OF CHULA VISTA IS ALSO LOOKING TO ENGAGE THEM, THE SAN DIEGO HOUSING COMMISSION, UM, BOTH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO AND THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO EXPRESSED HIGH REGARD FOR THE ADMINISTRATION, UH, AND SATISFACTION, AND WORKING WITH THEM, BOTH JURISDICTIONS REPORTED, THEY DO EXCELLENT WORK AND WERE ABLE TO, TO FIND AND QUALIFY MORE ELIGIBLE BORROWERS.

THEN THOSE JURISDICTIONS COULD DO INTERNALLY.

AND AS I MENTIONED, CITY OF CHULA, VISTA'S ALSO ENTER WORKING ON ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM FOR THE SAME REASONS.

THE HOUSING COMMISSION HAS ADMINISTERED FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTY FOR OVER 30 YEARS, THE MAJORITY OF IT FOR THE CITY AND IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS FOR THE COUNTY, UM, THEY HAVE A FULL STAFF DEDICATED TO FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER ADMINISTRATION.

THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY UNDERSTAND AND, UM, ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE COMPLEX AND LAYERED COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS.

THEY PROVIDE CONTINUOUS OVERSIGHT AND TRAINING WITH THEIR STAFF AND THEIR LEADERS ARE EXPERIENCED IN LENDING.

AND ONE OF THE MAIN BENEFITS IS THAT THE SAN DIEGO HOUSING COMMISSION IS ANOTHER LOCAL AGENCY.

SO THEY DO NOT PROVIDE THEIR OWN FIRST TIME FIRST MORTGAGE LOAN PRODUCTS, WHICH TO ME, IT TAKES, TAKES THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST AWAY.

WHEREAS THOSE OTHER AGENCIES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT DO PROVIDE THOSE.

UM, SO BASED ON THESE FACTORS, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING ALLOCATING HOME THE HOME AND CAL HOME FUNDS TO THE HOUSING COMMISSION FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOME BUYER PROGRAM.

AND THESE ARE THE AMOUNTS WE'RE RECOMMENDING UNDER THE INITIAL AGREEMENT, A 1.1 MILLION IN HOME FUNDS AND 64,580 IN CAL HOME REUSE FUNDS FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT AWARD OF 1.1 MILLION AND CHANGE.

UH, THE AGREEMENT WILL BE FOR AN INITIAL 16 MONTH TERM WITH OPTIONS FOR UP TO FOUR, ONE YEAR EXTENSIONS AT THE CITY'S DISCRETION.

SO IF THE COUNCIL APPROVES THE AMENDMENT, THE NEXT STEPS WILL BE TO CONTINUE ACCEPTING PUBLIC COMMENTS.

THE END OF THE 30 DAY BY REQUIRED 30 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, AND THEN PREPARE AND SUBMIT THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO HIDE AND

[00:15:05]

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR JULY 1ST IN ORDER TO DO THAT.

SO COUNCIL ACTION TONIGHT IS REQUESTED FOR YOU TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, ACCEPT PUBLIC TESTIMONY, APPROVE THE ALLOCATIONS FOR THE NEXT YEAR, CDBG AND HOME ALLOCATIONS, AND THEN ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CURRENT YEAR ACTION PLAN AND APPROVE IT SUBMISSION TO HUD UPON CONCLUSION OF THE 30 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, WE DID RECEIVE SOME WRITTEN COMMENTS FROM TWO AGENCIES, CSA SAN DIEGO COUNTY ON ELDER HEALTH, BOTH COMMENTS EXPRESSED GRATITUDE FOR PAST AWARDS AND SUPPORT FOR THEIR CURRENT APPLICATIONS.

AND BOTH COMMENTS WERE SHARED WITH CITY COUNCIL ON THE DAYAS WITH THAT STAFF IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANKS VERY MUCH QUESTIONS, STEVEN, JIMMY ON THE, THE AMENDMENT.

UM, THE 1.1 MILLION.

WHY, WHY HOLD SOME BACK? IF WE HAVE 3 MILLION THERE, I THINK YOU WANT TO, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S WORKING FOR THE CITY.

AND SO AN A PILOT PROGRAM ALSO, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU HAVE 3 MILLION THERE, $1 MILLION IN HOME BUY, IF YOU RECALL, OUR SINGLE FAMILY HOME MAXIMUM LOAN AMOUNT IS A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

SO THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO DO 10 LOANS AND ALLOW US AN EVALUATION PERIOD.

AFTER THAT, IF WE HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE COULD POSSIBLY PUT THE REMAINING BALANCE TO, WE CAN ACTUALLY ADD MORE MONEY TO THAT.

AND ARE THESE FUNDS KIND OF LIKE A SECOND MORTGAGE? CAUSE YOU SAID THEY'RE NOT FIRST MORTGAGE.

SO IT'S JUST LIKE GAP FINANCING FOR FIRST TIME HOME.

THAT'S CORRECT.

IT'S A VERY FAVORABLE TERMS. IT'S COMPLETELY DEFERRED NO INTEREST.

WE GENERALLY WRITE IT AS AN EQUITY SHARE PROGRAM.

SO THE LONGER THEY STAY IN THE HOUSE, THE EQUITY SHERRY, THE REDUCES OR IS ELIMINATED ENTIRELY OVER TIME.

GREAT.

THANK YOU, MICHELLE.

SORRY.

THANK YOU.

IT WAS AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.

I HAD MY HUSBAND, I BOUGHT OUR HOUSE USING FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS PROGRAM IN 2000.

WE REALLY NEEDED IT.

SO AS YOU KNOW, IT'S A VALID PROGRAM.

SO I JUST WANT TO GET MY HEAD WRAPPED AROUND THIS.

WHAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDING IS THAT THE SAN DIEGO HOME, WHAT IS IT CALLED? HOUSING COMMISSION ALLOCATION.

THAT'S FOR THEM TO DO THE ADMINISTRATION? CORRECT? WHO ARE WE DO? WE OVERSEE THAT SAYS WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE DOING THE ADMINISTRATION ANY LONGER IN SOMEONE ELSE.

WILL, ARE WE STILL GOING TO OVERSEE IT SO THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT THOSE FUNDS ARE BEING, UM, YOU KNOW, ALLOCATED PROPERLY? THERE'S NO WHEELING AND DEALING ON THE SIDE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I DO.

WHEN YOU GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE, INSTEAD OF MANAGING YOUR OWN MONEY, WHEN YOU GIVE SOMEBODY ELSE TO MANAGE YOUR MONEY, YOU ALWAYS WORRY, YOU KNOW, ARE THEY BEING JUDICIOUS WITH IT? ARE THEY, YOU KNOW, HANDLING IT PROPERLY? UM, AND THEN, UM, THESE FUNDS ARE COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE CDBG ALLOCATIONS.

CORRECT.

OKAY.

JUST WANT TO CLEAR THAT UP.

CAUSE I THINK, I THINK WE DID THIS LAST YEAR, UH, BUT IT WAS EARLY IN, I'D ONLY BEEN ON THE COUNCIL SHORT TIME, SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE STILL LEARNING.

SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

UM, NOW THE LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION THAT WE GOT, UM, SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE APPRECIATED THE SUPPORT IN THE PAST.

HOW WILL THIS AMENDMENT AFFECT THEM RECEIVING FUNDS? OKAY.

THE AMENDMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE TWO LETTERS THAT YOU RECEIVED BECAUSE THOSE ARE CDBG FUNDS AND THE AMENDMENT IS ONLY REFERRING TO.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I WAS CLEAR ON THAT.

UM, OKAY.

I THINK THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

THANKS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NICE PRESENTATION.

WE'LL CALL YOU BACK IF WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT, ANGELA, DO WE HAVE ANY SPEED CARDS ON THIS ITEM? YES, SIR.

WE HAVE TWO SPEAKERS.

THE FIRST ONE IS KELLY DOUGLAS.

HELLO.

WELL, GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE.

MY NAME IS KELLY DOUGLAS.

I'M THE PRESIDENT AND CEO AT VOICES FOR CHILDREN.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE INVITATION TO COME HERE TONIGHT.

AND FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT A REQUEST FOR A CBVG CDBG GRANT,

[00:20:01]

WE SUPPORT KIDS FROM BIRTH THROUGH AGE 21.

AND THE WAY WE DO IT IS WE MATCH A SPECIALLY TRAINED VOLUNTEER CALL UP CALLED A COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATE OR A CASA WITH A CHILD OR SIBLING GROUP.

ONCE THEY ENTER THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM, THE ROLE OF THE CASA IS PRIMARILY TO ADVOCATE FOR THE CHILD AND THE WAY THEY DO IT IS BY SPENDING TIME WITH THE CHILD, DEVELOPING A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP TO UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS.

BUT IMPORTANTLY, THE COST IS ALSO INTERACT WITH TEACHERS AND THERAPISTS AND SOCIAL WORKERS AND LAWYERS SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE A FULL PICTURE OF HOW TO BEST SUPPORT THE CHILD DURING FOSTER CARE.

THE COST HAS BEEN TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND REGULARLY SUBMIT REPORTS TO THE JUVENILE COURT TO HELP SUPPORT THAT CHILD AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE RESEARCH RESOURCES THEY NEED AS THEY NAVIGATE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM.

BUT WHAT'S MOST SPECIAL ABOUT OUR CASAS IS THE CONSISTENCY THEY PROVIDE TO THESE CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOT OF TRAUMA AND THEY HAVE SOMEONE IN THEIR LIFE WHO THEY CAN DEPEND UPON.

UM, AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THIS PRETTY DIFFICULT AND SCARY TIME THIS YEAR AT VOICES FOR CHILDREN, WE WILL SUPPORT MORE THAN A THOUSAND CASA VOLUNTEERS ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

UH, WE WILL PROVIDE ADVOCACY TO ABOUT 2000 CHILDREN.

AND THE, THE SPECIAL THING ABOUT OUR WORK IS THAT OUR WORK TOUCHES VIRTUALLY EVERY COMMUNITY ACROSS THE COUNTY.

AND ALCOHOL IS NO EXCEPTION.

SO THIS YEAR WE ESTIMATE THAT ABOUT 200 CHILDREN FROM ALCOHOL WILL SPEND TIME IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM.

VOICES FOR CHILDREN WILL PROVIDE ADVOCACY TO ABOUT 100 OF THEM.

AND SO THE, UH, IF FUNDED THE GRANT REQUESTS THAT WE HAVE MADE, WHICH SUPPORT ADVOCACY FOR A YEAR FOR EIGHT OF ELKA HOMES, CHILDREN WHO ARE SPENDING TIME IN FOSTER CARE, AND THAT WOULD INVOLVE A CASA WHO WOULD DEDICATE UPWARDS OF 15 HOURS A MONTH TO THE CASE, SPENDING TIME WITH THE CHILD, SPEAKING WITH ALL THE ADULTS AND PROFESSIONALS ON THE CASE, UM, ATTENDING PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES, NEGOTIATING INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PLANS, AND THE LIKE TO HELP SUPPORT THOSE KIDS AS THEY GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR CASAS WILL SHOW UP FOR THEIR KIDS AND HELP TO ENSURE THAT THEIR VOICES ARE HEARD.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR WORK.

WE WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL AND HONORED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER PARTNER WITH THE CITY OF ALCOHOL.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

ANY QUESTIONS I WOULD EXPECT THIS KIND OF FUNDING COME FROM THE COUNTY OR STATE WHEN IT'S DEALING WITH COURT OR FOSTER SYSTEM ISSUES.

DO YOU, IS THAT WHERE YOU GET A LOT OF YOUR FUNDING FROM THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR FUNDING IS PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY.

UM, BUT ABOUT 20% OF OUR BUDGET DOES COME FROM DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT SOURCES, BUT WE'RE NOT A LINE ITEM IN THE COUNTY BUDGET.

WE APPLY AND COMPETE FOR GRANTS WITH CITIES AND, AND THE COUNTY, UH, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, EVERY YEAR.

SO WE'RE SUPPORTED THROUGH CDBG GRANTS FROM SEVERAL OTHER COMMUNITIES ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

UM, AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE OUR GOVERNMENT FUNDING COMES FROM.

I'M SURPRISED IT'S AS LOW AS 20%.

I WOULD THINK THE COUNTY, UM, WHICH OVERSEES THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM, UH, THE STATE, WHICH HAS THE COURT SYSTEM, I WOULD, I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY ONLY PROVIDE 20%.

WE DO GET THAT QUESTION A LOT AND THAT'S WHY OUR PARTNERSHIPS ACROSS THE COUNTY ARE SO IMPORTANT TO US TO ALLOW US TO DO OUR WORK.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

LAST SPEAKER, TIM RAY.

YES, SIR.

ONLY TWO SPEAKERS.

HI, GOOD EVENING FOLKS.

MY NAME IS TIM RAY AND I'M THE EAST COUNTY DIRECTOR FOR MEALS ON WHEELS.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.

OVER THE YEARS, YOU'VE GUYS CONTRIBUTED SO MUCH TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND NOT ONLY DO WE APPRECIATE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, OUR SENIOR CLIENTS APPRECIATE IT AS WELL.

UM, MEALS ON WHEELS IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING 32,500 TO SERVE 165 SENIORS AND VETERANS OVER THE NEXT YEAR.

UM, THE MEALS ON WHEELS IS MORE THAN A MEAL.

UM, MEALS ON WHEELS NOT ONLY PROVIDES A HEART HEALTHY MEAL, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT'S THE WELLNESS CHECK AND THE SAFETY CHECK AND THE SOCIAL VISITS THAT WE DO WITH OUR CLIENTS.

AND THAT'S THROUGH OUR CARING VOLUNTEERS, UH, MEALS ON WHEELS HAS BEEN A PART OF THE SAN DIEGO FABRIC FOR OVER 60 YEARS.

AND WE'RE A CONSTANTLY GROWING, UH, ORGANIZATION.

AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE AS PEOPLE ARE GETTING OLDER AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE PANDEMIC, NOT ONLY IS IT AN ISOLATED POPULATION BECAME EVEN MORE ISOLATED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC AND OUR VOLUNTEERS STEPPED

[00:25:01]

SO WE THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING WITH US OVER THE YEARS AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING WITH YOU FOLKS.

THANK YOU.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

JUST COMMENT.

A COUPLE OF TIMES I'VE GONE OUT WITH THE MEALS ON WHEELS STAFF, AND I WAS REALLY TOUCHED BY HOW MUCH THE, THE PEOPLE THAT YOU SERVICE REALLY GOT OUT OF THE, UH, OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH YOUR STAFF.

YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY DIDN'T SEEM REALLY AS INTERESTED IN THE FOOD AS THEY SEEM WITH THE INTERACTION AND, AND THE PEOPLE I WENT OUT WITH, SAT WITH THEIR ELDERLY FOLKS AND TALK TO THEM AND IT WAS REALLY NICE.

I WAS VERY PROUD AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.

AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO GET BACK TO.

ONCE AGAIN, HOPEFULLY WE'RE TURNING A CORNER NOW WHERE OUR VOLUNTEERS CAN ACTUALLY ENTER THE HOMES AND THEY CAN GIVE THEM THE HUGS AND THE KISSES THAT THEY'RE ACCUSTOMED TO, THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

UM, A LOT OF OUR SENIORS DON'T HAVE FAMILY.

THEY DON'T HAVE FRIENDS AND DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, THEIR NEIGHBORS DIDN'T EVEN FEEL COMFORTABLE TO CHECK ON THEM.

SO THEY RELIED HEAVILY ON MEALS ON WHEELS, MORE THAN EVER.

SO WE DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT, UH, YOU GUYS RECOGNIZE AND CHAMPION FOR OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE A HEART-HEALTHY MEAL, AS WELL AS THE WELLNESS CHECK AND THE SOCIAL VISITS.

AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE, AS YOU HAD SAID, MANY OF YOU GUYS HAVE COME OUT AND, UH, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AND DO A RIDE ALONG WITH THE VOLUNTEERS WE DO.

UM, IT'S MARCH 7TH, OUR MARCH 7TH OR THE WEEK OF MARCH 7TH IS OUR CHAMPION WEEK.

SO I KNOW YOU FOLKS ALL HAVE BUSY SCHEDULES, BUT IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT AND SHADOW A VOLUNTEER OR STAFF MEMBER ON A ROUTE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO US.

WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU ALONG FOR THE RIDE.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

HEY, ONE QUESTIONS.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

THAT'S THE NO MORE SPEAKER, SIR.

LET ME SEE HERE.

SO I NEED TO MAKE A MOTION THEN THE CLOSE, THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SECOND, PLEASE VOTE MOTION CARRIES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE PRESENT.

OKAY.

UM, STAFF LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE DONE A NICE JOB IN, UH, ALLOCATING THE MONEY, BUT OF COURSE IT'S ALWAYS OPEN TO NEGOTIATION INTERPRETATION.

IF ANYBODY WANTS TO DISCUSS THOUGHTS THEY HAVE, OR THEY, OR SOMEBODY WANNA MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT QUESTION OR A COMMENT OR A POINT TO RAISE FOR DISCUSSION.

UM, I, AS I LOOK AT THE APPLICANTS HERE, WE'RE KIND OF SKEWED MORE TOWARDS OLDER ADULTS UNLESS EAST COUNTY TRANSITIONAL LIVING CENTER ALSO SERVES CHILDREN AS PART OF THIS OR EMERGENCY SHELTER PROGRAM.

SO IS THERE A WAY TO FIND OUT, DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? WE HAVE MEALS ON WHEELS FOR SENIORS.

WE HAVE, UM, ELDER HELP OF SAN DIEGO AND I'M KIND OF LOOKING LIKE A, ARE WE MISSING PART OF OUR SOCIETY WITH KIDS? SO IS THERE A SENSE OF HOW MUCH OF ECE TLC GOES TO HELP CHILDREN IN AN EMERGENCY SHELTER SITUATION? YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM BCLC HERE.

WOULD YOU MIND COMING UP AND ANSWERING THAT QUESTION? SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE ABOUT 175 KIDS ON CAMPUS AND WITH THE FAMILY PROGRAMS, 90% OF THEM GO THROUGH EMERGENCY SHELTER WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVE AT THE CTLC.

SO THE FIRST 28 DAYS THEY RECEIVED THOSE SERVICES.

AND THEN DURING THAT TIME, WE'RE EVALUATING, IF THEY'RE GOING TO ENTER INTO ONE OF OUR LONG-TERM PROGRAMS OR ANOTHER PROGRAM, AND WE HELP THEM MOVE ON TO THAT PROGRAM.

AND ALSO, UH, LONG-TERM HOUSING.

SO, UH, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, 175 KIDS, I DID THE COUNT TODAY AND THEY ALL START THROUGH ALL THE FAMILY PROGRAMS COME THROUGH EMERGENCY SHELTER.

THERE ARE VERY FEW THAT COME THROUGH WITH THE FUNDING TO GO INTO OUR TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM RIGHT OUT THE GATE.

AND THEY COME TO US WITH A COUPLE OF NICKELS TO RUB TOGETHER, USUALLY, UM, WITH BARELY ENOUGH MONEY TO PUT GAS UNDER THE CAR, IF THEY'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A CAR.

SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, ALL THE KIDS AT ONE POINT GO THROUGH EMERGENCY SHELTER, WHICH IS, UH, THE CDB

[00:30:01]

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

YEAH.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS? YEAH.

UM, SO WHO MAKES THE DECISIONS ON WHO GETS ALLOCATED FUNDS? I MEAN, WE HAVE APPLICANTS AND, UM, THEN WE HA WE HAVE APPLICANTS AND THEN WE HAVE ALLOCATIONS WHO MAKES THE DECISIONS ON WHO GETS MONEY WHEN WE DO.

YEAH.

SO, YOU KNOW, HISTORICALLY, UM, THE STAFF THAT USUALLY DOES A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF, OF MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE CAN ADOPT.

I MEAN, CERTAINLY THERE'S THERE'S ROOM FOR, IS THERE A CAUSE THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SUPPORTING YOU GOT IT VERSUS OF CHILDREN OR YEAH.

VOICES OF CHILDREN.

I WOULD AT LEAST GIVE SOME OF THAT MONEY THAT THEY'VE REQUESTED, IF NOT THE FULL 15,000.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT GO.

AND THEN WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE MONEY TO COME FROM? WELL, YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT FROM SOMEBODY.

WELL, THAT'S NOT FAIR.

THAT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER.

AREN'T WE PUTTING SOME MONEY ON THE SIDE? I MEAN, WHEN WE GOT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND IT ALL.

SO EVERY PENNY W W ONE OF OUR CONCERNS WITH, UH, VOICES OF CHILDREN, I KNOW THE SPEAKER SAID THAT IT WAS SORT OF A HUNDRED.

THE APPLICANT SAID THE APPLICATION, THEY SUBMITTED SAID IT WAS SORT OF EIGHT.

SO IF YOU TAKE THE ALLOCATION, THEY'RE REQUESTING DIVIDED BY EIGHT, THAT ENDS UP BEING OVER $1,600 PER PERSON PER CHILD SERVED.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A GOOD USE OF CDBG FUNDING.

THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH IS THAT THESE FUNDS WOULD PAY FOR A COUNTY EMPLOYEE SALARY TO TRAIN VOLUNTEERS.

AND JUST FRANKLY, I'D RATHER HAVE THEM.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT TO THE COUNCIL, THAT THE MONEY GO TOWARD NON-PROFITS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE NO OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDING TO HELP OUR RESIDENTS.

I THINK MR. GOBLE IS EXACTLY RIGHT.

I'LL USE THE WORD MORE OF A TRAVESTY THAT THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO DOESN'T TAKE THIS PROGRAM SERIOUSLY, AND THEY RE REALLY SHOULD STEP UP.

THAT'S AT LEAST STAFF'S OPINION.

UM, THE COUNCIL HAS THE ULTIMATE SAY ON HOW YOU WANT TO ALLOCATE THE CDBG MONEY, BUT REMEMBER IF YOU ALLOCATE IT FOR MORE AND YOU'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU'RE GONNA TAKE IT FROM ANOTHER.

NO, AND I APPRECIATE THE CLARIFICATION, UM, MR. MITCHELL, NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.

SORRY.

UM, AND THEN LET'S SEE.

NO, I THINK THAT WORKS.

AND I THINK TO ANSWER MR. GLOBAL'S QUESTION ABOUT, UM, TAKING CARE OF THE CHILDREN, THE KIDS IN THE, UM, SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEY'RE GETTING THE ONES THAT REALLY NEED IT.

THEY'RE GETTING FREE BREAKFAST, THEY'RE GETTING FREE LUNCH.

AND THEN ON THE WEEKENDS, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTOOD, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE STILL DOING IT, THEY SEND THEM HOME WITH BACKPACKS FULL OF FOOD FOR THAT KID.

SO THE KIDS THAT SEGMENT OF POPULATION IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF IF THEY'RE STILL DOING THAT, THOSE PROGRAMS, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THEY, THESE KIDS ARE SENT HOME WITH ALL KINDS OF FOOD.

UM, AND THEN EVENTUALLY IT ENDS UP INTO THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE KIDS DON'T WANT IT.

THEY'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE LITTLE PROTEIN BARS OR THEY'RE LIKE BANANA BREAD BARS OR WHATEVER.

AND, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY ENDS UP WITH THEM AND THEN THEY'RE SENT OUT THROUGH THE BUY NOTHING GROUPS.

UM, SO THE KIDS ARE BEING TAKEN CARE OF ON THAT.

I DO LIKE THE FACT THAT WE ARE STILL FOCUSING ON SENIORS BEING A SENIOR MYSELF.

AND IF YOU'RE EVER IN THAT POSITION, I'D WANT TO HAVE SOMEONE BE ABLE TO, UM, GIVE ME MONEY.

SO ANYWAY, NEVERMIND.

MY QUESTIONS ARE GOOD.

AND YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB IN ALLOCATING THE FUNDS.

I'M JUST CURIOUS.

SO THANK YOU.

I'D LIKE TO HEAR MS. DOUGLAS'S RESPONSE TO A THOUGHT, BUT WE HAVE TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TO DO THAT.

DON'T WE? UM, YEAH.

UM, I THINK IT'S FAIR THAT IF THE POINT IS RAISED, THAT WE'RE GETTING DIFFERENT INFORMATION, THAT SHE HAVE A CHANCE TO AT LEAST RESPOND TO THE COMMENTS.

SURE.

SO MAKE A MOTION THEN REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

YEAH.

I'LL SECOND THAT PLEASE VOTE.

OKAY.

MOTION CARRIES JUST VERY BRIEFLY.

AND OF COURSE, WE'RE JUST VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE CHANCE TO COME AND SPEAK ABOUT OUR WORK.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY TWO THINGS.

WE ARE A PRIVATE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, AND SO THE FUNDS WOULD ACTUALLY GO NOT TO PAY FOR A COUNTY EMPLOYEE, BUT RATHER ONE OF OUR OWN EMPLOYEES, WE HAVE A CORE STAFF POSITION CALLED THE ADVOCACY SUPERVISOR THAT HAS A CASELOAD OF ABOUT 40 TO 50 CAUSES THAT THEY SUPPORT THROUGH THE YEAR.
