BACKGROUND
On April 3, 2013, the City Council hosted a Work Session regarding Current and Future Challenges facing Social Services in San Leandro. The discussion included input from several social service agencies located within and/or serving San Leandro which led to the implementation of the Community Investment Funding which allocates an additional $150,000 from the general fund annually to the CAP grant program.
On December 1, 2014 the application for the 2015-17 CAP grant program was released to the public. The CAP Grant funding is comprised of the designated CDBG funds and the community investment funding with a combined total of $254,245 annually for the next two fiscal years.
On February 18, 2015 the Human Services Commission formulated funding recommendations for the CAP for FY2015-16 and FY2016-17 from the 14 applications submitted. The original CAP applications and applicant presentations were utilized in creating the funding recommendations set forth.
