year's grant award and contract amount as a planning figure for the Fiscal Year 2011 Community Services
Block Grant(CSBG) program. The total 2010 contract amount was $1,371,360.00. City staff projects an
increase in funding resulting in an estimated grant award of$1,800,000.00 for this program in 2011.
The extension of the CSBG program would provide for programs and services to assist low income
persons with self-sufficiency case management, emergency assistance, outreach and certification for
energy assistance, information and referral, holiday assistance, as well as services to provide clients with
transportation to services for medical, educational, employment and other needs. Ten neighborhood
Community Action Partners offices managed by the Parks and Community Services Department will be
utilized to deliver program services.
Interim financing is necessary to provide transition from one grant funding period to the next. No matching
funds are required from the City for the CSBG program.
