SUHJ: CDBG FY Allocation
DATE: March 19, 2014
Staff learned late yesterday afternoon through our professional association, National
Community Development Association - NCDA, the City's preliminary Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual entitlement allocation. At the time of writing the
Staff Report, the final allocation was unknown. HUD's website posting this morning of the
FY14 Allocations reflect the City will receive $328,232.
However, the City has not been officially notified by HUD of its CDBG entitlement by way
of their formal 2014 Funding Approval Agreement. Tonight's Resolution does authorize the
City Manager to execute the Funding Approval/Agreement with HUD, based on its final
award, and to appropriately adjust the 2014-15 CDBG budget amount, and the respective
Subrecipient Agreement.

A Nonprofit Corporation •IRS6237365066 Pptllally Funtletl by County p(Riversltle Departmentof Mentol Heallh Drug Abuse Programs
JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE OF THE DESERT-KIDSFIRST HEALTHY LIFE PROGRAM
BACKGROUND: JFS is one of the largest providers of mental health counseling services in the Coachella
Valley and provides an array of counseling and social services to those in need regardless of religion,
age, income, ethnicity or lifestyle. JFS has been delivering counseling services in the Palm Springs
Unified School District for 7 years. JFS has also been offering an Intensive Outpatient Treatment
program for ages 12-18 for the last 3 years. Through delivery of those 2 programs JFS became
acutely aware of the increase in substance abuse between 5th and 6th grades. Therefore, JFS
approached PSUSD re; delivering a drug resistance curriculum in a few classrooms. PSUSD ultimately
asked JFS to deliver the curriculum to every 5th grader in the system and the KIDSFIRST Healthy Life
program was launched, with the pilot being funded by Mayor Pougnefs 1st Healthy Planet Grant.
In August of 2014, JFS trained 10 staff members in the evidence based on the Botvin Life Skills
curriculum which is used in over 33 countries and recognized by the National Institute on Drug Abuse ,
the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the CDC and is included
in SAMSHA's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices. PSUSD asked JFS to
deliver the curriculum every 5th grader in PSUSD (estimated at 1700 children) during the school year
2013-2014.
JFS is now seeking alternate funding as the Healthy Planet Grant is not being offered for these types of
services year. PSUSD has asked us to continue and potentially expand the program up into the middle
schools and/or down to 4th grade but has no funding. Continuing the existing program will not be
possible without funding from the City of Palm Springs. We respectfully request the City to fund us in the
amount the amount of$17,600 per the CDBG's Citizen Advisory Committee recommendation. The
funding will assist us in delivering the program to 595 5th grade children in Palm Springs.
We see this as having a direct impact on low income children, who after they are expelled are often
unsupervised after school due to both parents working and spend times out on the streets. It will have an
impact and the neighborhoods where they live by reducing the number of expulsions and strengthening
children's drug resistance skills.
THE PROGRAM: The curriculum consists of 8 weeks of classes focused on evidenced elements that are
correlated to children being able to resist pressure to use drugs and alcohol; on improving self-esteem;
teaching children to pick better friends, teaching children to reduce their own stress and helping children
learn to recognize when they are being pressured to use substances. Each Child received a workbook
which s/he keeps that enables them to formulate goals, learn assertive communication skills and
recognize the power of advertising (among other topics). Pre and Post-tests of 4 basic questions are
being administered to measure what we call a child's 'The Resistance Score". Using a Likert scale with
assigned numerical values, children are asked to rate themselves in the following areas:
1. 1 feel good about myself(Never, Almost Never Sometimes, Almost Always. Always.)
2. 1 can reduce my own stress(same scale)
3. 1 pick good friends (same scale)
4. 1 recognize when I am being pressured to use tobacco or alcohol (same scale)
THE GOALS and OUTCOMES:
Children who score in the Almost Always or always range (i.e. 4's or 5.$) are considered to be Resistant.
Children who score in the Sometimes (Ts) are Becoming Resistant
Children who score in the Almost Never or Never range are still Vulnerable.
JFS' goal is to move as many children as possible out of the Vulnerable range into the Resistant(as
measured by post-tests)with the hypothesis that gains in these 4 crucial areas will make them less likely
to begin abusing substances when they get to middle school and thus less likely to be expelled and less
likely to become involved in the downward spiral of drug and gang activity So far our mid-year data are
showing good movement and we await the final results eagerly. We will also be comparing the rates of
children receiving suspension and expulsion for drug offenses in middle school before the curriculum was
delivered and after.

STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City has not been officially notified by HUD of its specific, detailed CDBG entitlement
allocation as a result of the enactment of the FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriation Act, which
became effective January 17th. After months of budget negotiations and a prolonged federal
government shutdown, the omnibus provides $3.030 billion for CDBG program, slightly less
than the FY 2013's post-sequestration enacted level of$3.078 billion.
Palm Springs is an "entitlement city," meaning that it is a direct recipient of CDBG funds.
The CDBG Program was adopted by Congress forty years ago to provide a flexible funding
source for local governments to meet the community development needs of their low and
moderate-income persons. CDBG enables local governments to fund three National
Objectives: benefiting low and moderate income persons; preventing or eliminating slums or
blight; and meeting urgent need. The federal statute requires that at least 70% of CDBG
expenditures must benefit low and moderate income persons.
There are also statutory limitations on the percentage of CDBG funds that may be utilized
for administrative purposes, at no more than 20% of the entitlement, and Public Services, at
no more than 15% of the entitlement. The remaining funds are to be utilized for other
categories, including Public Facilities and Capital Improvements and Housing Rehabilitation.
This coming fiscal year funding will consist of an estimated $317,336 in new entitlement
funding. The total funds available for 2014-2015, by eligibility category, are as follows:
Public Facilities & Improvements......................................................$186,269.'
Public Services (includes Fair Housing)...... ......... ............. $47,600."
Rehabilitation........................................................................................ 20 000.'
TOTAL PROGRAMMATIC FUNDS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,$253,869.
ADMINISTRATION (includes Citizen Participation) 63 467.—*
TOTAL CDBG 2014 —2015 FUNDING............................................ 317 336.
This is the 2014-15 allocation only. Public Facilities & Improvements and Rehabilitation
are also to be partially funded with the reprogramming of unexpended activity funds and
program income from prior and current years.
Public Service is calculated at 15% of new entitlement funding.
*"' Administration is calculated at 20% of new entitlement funding. 2

CDBG 2014 — 2015 Program Year
Consolidated Plan Compliance
In 2010, the City adopted and HUD approved its required 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan is the required blueprint for meeting the housing and community
development needs of the city and provides a description of existing housing and community
development needs, a long-term strategy to address those needs and an action plan for
coming years. Each year, the City is responsible for preparing an Annual Action Plan
update, which reiterates the City's CDBG goals and objectives contained in the Consolidated
Plan, and incorporates the proposed projects and funding for the new fiscal year.
A key component of the 2010-2015 Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a Strategic Plan, which
includes the goals and objectives included in Attachment "A".
The 2014-2015 Annual Action Plan contains programs that make progress toward the stated
goals and the proposed accomplishments. Each Annual Action Plan must contain projects
and programs that will enable the City to meet its five-year goals that are in the adopted
Consolidated Plan.
As a part of the Consolidated/Annual Plan planning process, and a requirement of the
CDBG program in general, HUD requires local governments to include citizen participation in
the process. The following community participation activities were undertaken:
• CDBG Request for Proposals (RFPs) were made available on January 13`h through the
City's website registration, and in turn, a fill-in Request For Proposal was e-mailed to
those on-line registrants. The fill-in Microsoft Word format helped make the application
process easier for all potential respondents. In all, postcards and e-mail announcements
were sent to nearly 200 organizations and individuals, including previous CDBG
Subrecipients, last year's applicants, City Departments, and those organizations
requesting to be placed on the mailing list.
• The Legal Notice was published twice, January 161h and January 26`h in The Desert Sun,
which provided information to the community about the availability of CDBG funds.
• Staff conducted a formal RFP Workshop on January 30`h that provided technical
assistance and responded to applicants' questions. There were seven (7) organizations
represented and staff continued to provide technical assistance on an as needed basis,
including direct assistance to three proposers. Nine new organizations requested RFPs.
The RFP submittal deadline was February 13`h. Twenty-five (25) RFPs were distributed.
The City received eleven (11) funding requests totaling $752,937. This compares to nine
(9) proposals last year at $673,500 requested.
• The Citizens' Advisory Committee held its public hearing on February 27`h. Staff briefed
the Committee on the past year's CDBG activities, including the status of projects;
agencies' accessibility for all residents — able-bodied and disabled, the Consolidated
Annual Performance & Evaluation Report; the potential coming year's CDBG allocation
reduction; the Administration's release of next fiscal year (2015) proposed budget
uncertainties; and, timely expenditure scrutiny by HUD. The public hearing was held to
receive testimony about proposed 2014-15 CDBG activities and from organizations
submitting proposals which allowed the Committee members to question the
respondents. Other than ten (10) of the eleven (11) RFP respondents in attendance who 3

CDBG 2014 - 2015 Program Year
spoke, there were no public comments received about neighborhood needs. The
Committee re-convened on March 3rd to rank the proposals and recommend dollar
awards.
• The City Council Public Hearing represents the second of the two required public
hearings.
• After Council approves the activities and funding of the Annual Action Plan, the Plan will
be available for a thirty (30) public comment period prior to submittal to HUD by May 14tb.
The matrices on the following pages are of the RFP respondents and their respective
funding requests:

local and private funds for the next year. These Plans will be submitted to the Dept. of Housing
& Urban Development (HUD) on May 14, 2014. CDBG's estimated Fiscal Year 2014-15

auxiliary aids or special assistance beyond what is normally provided in utilizing City facilities,

formats or who would like information on the City's compliance with the ADA, the City will
attempt to accommodate in every reasonable manner. Please contact the Mr. Cook, as
