TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: COMMUNIITY DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATOR VIA
COMMUNITY& ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION OF 2002-2003
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council hold a public hearing to review and approve
the proposed 2002 - 2003 CDBG budget as recommended, authorize the submittal
of the Consolidated Plan Annual Plan Update to the Department of Housing &
Urban Development (HUD), and authorize the City Manager to execute Subrecipient
Agreements for 2002 -2003 CDBG program.
BACKGROUND:
The CDBG Program was adopted by Congress twenty-eight (28) years ago to
provide a flexible funding source for local governments to meet the community
development needs of their low and moderate-income community and was the first
federal block grant. This entitlement program allows grantees to fund three National
Objectives sets forth as: benefiting low and moderate (L/M) income persons;
preventing or eliminating slurns or blight; and meeting urgent need. The federal
statute also states that at least 70% of CDBG expenditures benefit UM income
persons.
In 2000, a five-year Consolidated Plan and one-year Annual Plan were prepared
and approved by City Council. Implementation of the Plan was approved by HUD.
Until the year 2004, when a new Consolidated Plan must be developed, the City is
responsible to prepare an Annual Plan Update which reiterates the City's CDBG
goals and objectives for the coming year, and incorporates the proposed projects
and funding for the new fiscal year. Council action, with approval of the CDBG
budget, will concurrently authorize submittal of the 2002 - 2003 Plan Update to
HUD. Following Council approval of the CDBG activities and budget, the Plan will
be available for a thirty (30) day comment period prior to submission to HUD by May
15'".
The following goals were incorporated into the Strategic Plan that is a key
component of our 2000—2004 Five-Year Consolidated Plan:

The Housing and Community Development Strategy section of the Consolidated
Plan describes the goals, accomplishments, implementing programs, and the
resources the City will utilize to address the housing, community development and
economic development needs of the City over the next five years. The above
referenced goals relate directly to this Section. The One-Year Action Plan that has
been prepared and requires approval, contains programs that will count towards the
stated goals and the proposed accomplishments. After this year, and for the next
two years, a new Action Plan will need to be prepared. Each subsequent Action
Plan must contain projects and programs that will enable the City to meet the five-
year accomplishments that are set within the adopted Consolidated Plan.
As a part of the Consolidated/Annual Plan planning process, and requirement of the
CDBG program in general, HUD requires local governments to have citizen
participation. In order to be in compliance with this requirement, as well as take
advantage of the opportunity to get community feedback, the following actions were
performed:
2
131A
• CDBG Request For Proposals (RFPs) were made available on January 10,
2002. Postcard and e-mail announcements were sent to eighty-five (85)
organizations, including previous CDBG Subrecipients, last year's applicants
and those organizations forwarding letters this past year requesting to be placed
on our mailing list.
• The RFP Legal Notice was published twice, January 13'h and 23`a, in the Desert
Sun, and a press release was faxed to our media list which provided information
to the community about the availability of CDBG funds and appeared in the
Desert Sun on January 2.?nd
• Staff also conducted a formal RFP Workshop on January 24'h that provided
technical assistance and responded to applicants' questions. There were thirty
(30) organizations represented, fourteen (14) of which were new applicants.
The RFP submittal deadline was February 111h. which included seven (7)
additional calendar days for this year's submission. Forty-six (46) RFPs were
distributed, compared to forty-nine (49) last year. The City received twenty (20)
funding requests totaling $903,073. This compares to twenty-seven (27)
proposals last year, totaling over$1.03 million.
• The Citizens Advisory Council (CAC) held two-meetings. The first meeting was
the noticed public hearing, on February 21s', to receive testimony from
organizations submitting RFPs and to receive public comments from community
members. Other than fourteen (14) RFP respondent testimonies, there was one
community needs comment received at this hearing with regards to the City's
December 2001 Homeless Feeding Public Facility Program RFP. Prior to the
Hearing, Staff provided a CDBG orientation for the three (3) new CAC members,
representing an AIDS service provider, the Crossley Tract neighborhood and the
Parks & Recreation Commission, and briefed the entire seven (7) member CAC
on this past year's updates and major HUD items, including: HUD's timeliness
expenditure rate scrutiny, the definition of 'substantial Amendment' within
the Annual Plan permitting broader program management flexibility,
clarifying IDA (Individual Development Accounts) record-keeping
responsibilities, and placing 'Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area -
NRSA' within the Annual Plan to potentially allow Public Service activities
beyond the 15% cap within the NRSA.
• The agenda item before Council this evening represents the second of the two
required public hearings.
• After Council approves the activities and funding for the One Year Action Plan,
the Plan will be available for a thirty (30) public comment period prior to its
submittal to HUD.

All RFPs were reviewed and discussed by the CAC. It was acknowledged that each
organization that submitted a request provided beneficial services to the community.
Determining those organizations that met the goals and objectives of the
Consolidated Plan was relatively easy; selecting the organizations which would
receive funding was the difficult part. In some instances, even though a project
seemed to meet the objectives, the CAC may not have recommended the program
for funding due to other areas of concerns, i.e., direct services to Palm Springs
residents, organizational/administrative capacity, financial concerns, program too
removed from community, or insufficient information. In most cases, though, limited
funding would cause numerous organizations to be eliminated from the funding
cycle. Below is a description of those programs, area/clientele to be served and
respective allocations that the CAC is recommending to Council for 2002 - 2003
CDBG funding.

Catholic Charities introduced a new administrative team for Nightengale Manor on
February 1, 2001, when it hired a new Shelter Manager, giving the overall responsibility
of the program to Joe Ortiz, Catholic Charities' Director of Development and Public
Relations,
Mr. Ortiz, who has been employed as a Parole Agent and Job Agent for the State of
California, brings strong case management experience to Nightengale Manor, and has
also worked as an educator and counselor for both Los Angeles and Riverside Unified
School Districts. In addition to working as a radio and television journalists for over 20
years in the greater Los Angeles market, the Indio-born native owned a full-service
public relations company, specializing in corporate fundraising, community and
government relations, and marketing and management of numerous non-profit
organizations in California. He brings to Nightengale Manor strong management and
education credentials having worked at various executive and other leadership positions
at Riverside City College, South Bay College, The Greater Los Angeles Community
Action Agency, and MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund)
In tlus past year, the new management team at Nightengale Manor has instituted various
new programs at the family shelter, including an in-house food and clothing pantry, arts
& crafts program for youth, a Woman's Support Group, and a Parent Support Group. It
has also greatly enhanced the ongoing tutoring programs currently being conducted at the
shelter by Palm Springs Unified School District personnel.
The team has also established a strong working relationship with the Palm Springs Police
and Fire Departments, as well as the Police Department's Police Athletic League. The
new team has also conducted an accelerated outreach and networking program with
various social service and other government departments and agencies, including the
Department of Public Social Services, Riverside County health Department, Riverside
County Housing Authority, and the California State Department of Employment. It also
has developed excellent relationships with various government agencies and leaders
including Congresswoman Mary Bono, State Senator Jim Battin and Riverside County
Supervisor Roy Wilson, as well as officials at numerous Coachella Valley municipalities,
and various churches and other social service groups in its service area.
The management team has also accelerated its donations receiving program, and
currently picks up donations such as food, clothing, dishes and other household items
from private donors and various comparues in the Coachella Valley region. Catholic
Charities recently worked with the U.S. Postal Departments in Pahm Springs and
Cathedral City, which conducted a one day food drive that resulted in raising enough
food to feed over 200 families in those respective areas, with about one third going
directly to Nightengale Manor, feeding approximately 85 families during the Holiday
Season.
Catholic Charities was plagued with many staff changes and funding shortages in the
year 2001, and was also assessing the financial demands to continue providing homeless
shelter services in the future. However, it never once wavered in its commitment to the
homeless in the west end of the Coachella Valley, but chose to not only continue its past
efforts, but moved forward to enhance the services at Nightengale Manor Emergency
Family Shelter program_ Due to the support from the City of Palm Springs and its
Community Development Block Grant funding, the shelter has been able to provide more
services to the homeless and greatly expanded on the quality of service to the homeless of
Palm Springs We believe Catholic Charities and Nightengale Manor Emergency Family
Shelter is insuring the citizens of Pahn Springs that their taxes are being well spent.
Nightengale Manor provides a 90-day follow-up on most of its clients, and has found that
most of them were able to turn their lives around - securing permanent housing and
employment - and now lead productive lives. The success stories of clients who have
received services from Nightengale Manor are many. We are visited by several of the
families on a periodic basis, who wanted to thank us for the opportunity to redirect their
lives and for the many services we provided.
Due to the continued financial support from the City of Palm Springs (and its Community
Redevelopment Agency), Nightengale Manor has been able to move forward with its
commitment to the homeless problem in the Coachella Valley, especially to the citizens
of Palm Springs. The operational confidence and added credibility it has gained by
CDBG funding, Catholic Charities has been more successful in securing continued
funding from current sources, including FEMA and a significant grant from the United
Way of the Desert. Several proposals are currently being evaluated by various
government and foundation entities. Funding from the United Way of The Desert and the
Palm Springs City CDBG demonstrates to potential donors the fiscal and service delivery
credibility of Catholic Charities and its commitment to the homeless problems in the
Coachella Valley.
Due to the recent success demonstrated by its new management team, Nightengale Manor
is receiving much positive attention from various government entities and other
supporters, locally, statewide and even national consideration. It is also making headway
into the corporate arena, as Nightengale Manor recently received $2,740 from TARGET
Stores to fund computer upgrades as well as a Nutrition- Hygiene-Health lecture series
for youth and families at Nightengale Manor. By virtue of breaking a `government only'
2
funding mentality, Catholic Charities believe it can establish a long-term and increased
funding relationship with many other companies in The Coachella Valley, thereby setting
the precedence for significant community agency business partnerships to enhance the
services of the needy.
The Nightengale Manor management team, along with support from the Riverside
County IIousing Department, has undertaken an aggressive move to shore up the facility
by renovating the client housing units, including landscaping, plumbing repairs and
painting. TARGET Stores' management and staff volunteers recently spent an entire day
painting the units at Nightengale Manor, which provided both entities an opportunity to
enter into partnership discussions with TARGET, that resulted in the RFP.
Already in the planning stages, Nightengale Manor staff and Catholic Charities
management are developing other fundraising and marketing strategies to raise more
funds to aid the homeless, including submitting additional proposals to other major
corporations, and the development of a web site to showcase the services it provides,
which will include various marketing strategies.
The September 11`h tragedy has had a `low and slow' domino affect on traditional
donations to both Catholic Charities and Nightengale Manor. However, its new
administration team is committed more than ever to continue providing quality services
to address the homeless problem, one that is steadily increasing to greater proportions
than ever before.

EI.N.D.
(Food In Need of Distribution)
Good Evening Members of the City Council:
F.I.N.D., a local Non-Profit Food Bank, provides food assistance to the
needy in Palm Springs and all of the Coachella Valley. F.I.N.D. currently
provides assistance to 3676 individuals in Palm Springs. Please note the
1386 PS Residents as referred to in the Projects Recommended for Funding
are the numbers of families.
F.I.N.D. not only provides food assistance to individuals but also provides
food for Children's Day Care, After School, and Summer Camp Programs.

bring more resources to the needy.
F.I.N.D. Is asking for $10,300 for pallet racking in an effort to warehouse
more food for the ever-increasing number requesting assistance. The
Agency saw a 68% increase in the number of individuals requesting
assistance from December 2000 to December 2001.
Thank you for your consideration.
