Description
Social Services Committee 09/09/2021
A
Well,
I'm
saying
we're
in
an
unusual
situation,
but
we
have
a
quorum,
so
I
think
we
should
proceed.
I
have
not
heard
from
council
member
reid
and
I
don't
want
all
of
you
to
be
sitting
here
and
not
making
good
use
of
your
time
and
commitment
and
we
do
we're
in
a
kind
of
unusual
start
to
our
committee,
because
we're
trying
to
start
before
we
have
our
final
members
seated,
but
so
we
can
get
everybody
going
and
because
we've
got
a
lot
of
important
work
ahead
of
us.
A
A
So
we
are
also
a
committee
without
a
chair
at
this
moment,
so
having
no
other
real
way
of
figuring
out
how
to
do
how
to
do
this.
I'm
going
to
just
take
that
role
of
taking
us
through
the
agenda.
Obviously
I
can't
vote
or
anything
like
that,
but
it
seemed
to
be
the
most
expeditious
way
to
to
get
us
going.
So
I
actually
would
really
just
like
to
start
our
meeting.
A
This
is
the
inaugural
meeting
of
our
social
services
committee.
Even
though
we
don't
have
quite
everybody
seated,
but
we
will
soon-
and
we
have
a
as
jessica
said,
a
relatively
short
agenda,
I
also
what
I
think
would
be
good
is,
since
this
is
our
first
committee
meeting,
I'm
just
going
to
introduce
myself,
I'm
sarah
black's
housing
and
grants
manager
for
the
city
of
evanston,
and
that
ask
each
of
you
committee
members
to
please
introduce
yourself
and
then
we'll
move
into
our
our
agenda.
B
I
can
go
for
sarah
hi
everybody.
My
name
is
derek
ohanian
and
I'm
a
resident
of
ward
3
over
here
in
south
evanston.
I've
lived
in
evanston
for
the
past
couple
of
years,
but
lived
in
the
chicago
metro
area
for
probably
the
last
seven
years
now,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
group.
I
think
we
can
do
a
lot
of
great
work
for
the
city.
C
D
I'm
demeta
cravens
I've
been
a
resident
for
about
eight
years
in
evanston,
I'm
currently
in
ward
6,
but
I
was
in
ward
5
for
most
of
the
time
until
last
year
I
started
off
on
the
mental
health
board
for
the
last
two
years.
I'm
actually
a
mental
health
therapist.
So
mental
health
is
really
important
to
me.
E
My
name
is
amanda
angola.
I
am,
I
grew
up
in
evanston
and
I
moved
away
to
madison
wisconsin
for
about
20
years.
I
recently
moved
back
about
two
years
ago.
I
live
in
the
seventh
ward
and.
F
E
A
social
worker,
I'm
really
excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
group.
I
also
was
on
the
mental
health
board
initially,
but
I
in
my
in
my
role
in
the
past,
I've
been
a
clinical
social
worker
and
right
now
I
work
as
a
clinical
professor.
G
H
And
I'm
jessica
winger,
I'm
the
senior
grants
and
compliance
specialist,
I'm
actually
also
an
evanston
resident.
I
live
in
the
fifth
ward
and
have
for
about
12
years.
I
also
grew
up
in
evanston
and
then
moved
away
and
I've
come
back.
So
I'm
really.
H
Thank
you,
I'm
sorry.
We
have
two
of
our
new
appointees.
Can
I
invite
them
to
to
speak
yeah
great
okay,
I'm
gonna
bear
with
me
everyone,
I'm
gonna
start
with
samantha.
F
Good
evening,
can
you
hear
me
it
looks
like
it's
working
wonderful
good
evening,
I'm
samantha
olds
fry
I'm
an
evanston
resident
of
the
fourth
ward.
I've
been
here
for
oh
my
gosh.
Coming
up
on
four
years.
I
have
a
background
in
public
policy,
health
care
appropriations
and
policy,
so
very
excited
to
be
here.
F
H
F
A
G
A
Can
you
do
something
I
am
trying
to
text
the
link
to
council
member
reid,
but
I
don't
have
the
link
when
I
go
to
our
calendar.
Somehow
this
is
disappeared
from
my
calendar,
which
is
frustrating.
Let
me
see
if
I
can
figure
this
out.
A
I
A
I
J
I
didn't
know
if
there
was
a
separate
link
to
actually
be
a
part
of
it.
This
seems
to
be
set
up
as
a
oh,
join
us
panelists.
There
we
go.
A
Okay
well
you're
here
now,
that's
the
important
thing.
I
apologize
for
our
technological
failures
here.
We're
very
glad
to
have
you
here.
Council
member
burns
is
at
a
tif
meeting
so
but
we
do
have
a
quorum.
G
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
reed.
I
don't
know
if
you
heard
my
explanation
of
how
we
we
can't
vote
on
a
chair
until
next
meeting,
so
I
was
going
to
just
do
the
role
of
just
saying
what
agenda
item
we
are
on
and
stuff
like
that.
J
And
for
this
committee
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong
this
committee
reports
directly
to
counsel.
A
Yes,
so
our.
J
A
Will
be
one
of
it
will
be
from
among
our
community
yeah
yeah,
and
so
I
just
it's
kind
of
a
weird
situation,
and
I
don't
want
to
ever
put
myself
in
as
being
an
official
chair
of
this
committee,
but
I
figure
that's
kind
of
the
only
thing
and
just
an
unusual
situation.
A
So
we
have
our
members
who
are
currently
seated
and
we've
introduced
two
of
our
to
be
seated
numbers
who
are
joining
us
and
I
think
what
I'm
going
to
do.
We
have.
A
I'll
ask
for
public
comment:
that's
the
next
thing
on
our
agenda
and
we
did
not
get
any
public
con.
Anyone
signed
up
for
public
comment,
but
if
any
of
the
participants
any
of
the
attendees
would
like
to
make
public
comment,
you
can
raise
your
hand
and
then
we
can
jessica
can
promote
you
to
being
able
to
make
public
comment.
A
I
am
not
seeing
any
hands
raising
and,
if
any
were
to,
we
could
go
to
it
again.
I'm
going
to
actually
do
some
screen
sharing
now,
so
we
can
go
through
our
agenda.
We
did.
A
Everyone,
except
we
didn't
give
council
member
reed
a
chance
to
introduce
himself.
So
I
would
like
to
do
that
sorry.
J
I'm
oh
yeah,
I
I
will
take
two
seconds.
I
am
devon,
reed,
I'm
the
council.
Member
for
the
eighth
ward.
I
am
one
of
two
aldermen
who
are
serving
on
the
social
services
committee.
I
think
this
is
you
know
an
extremely
important
committee,
I'm
glad
that
we've
reorganized
the
former
committees
to
to
be
more
purpose-oriented,
and
so
thank
you,
sarah
and
and
jessica
for
leading
on
that
and
everyone
else,
who's.
A
part
of
that,
and
particularly
important.
J
One
of
our
big
tasks
coming
before
us
in
the
near
future
is
to
likely
have
a
large
say
in
how
some
of
the
arpa
funds
are
spent,
particularly
in
the
social
services
realm.
So
looking
forward
to
being
part
of
that
discussion,
so
thank
you.
A
A
Emergency
solutions
grant
is
one
of
the
grants
that
this
committee
makes
recommendations
for
the
use
of,
and
this
isn't
the
biggest
part
of
the
committee's
responsibilities.
A
But
it
has
become
very
timely
and
important
to
get
our
esg
grant
allocated,
because
one
of
the
things
that
is
happening
at
some
time
in
the
not
too
distant
future
is
all
of
the
eviction.
Moratoria
are
going
to
be
ending
and
we
are
already
working
on
dealing
with
evictions
and
trying
to
prevent
them
through
rent
assistance
and
other
assistance.
A
All
of
the
money
that
comes
out
through
the
cares
act
and
the
consolidated
approach,
appropriations
act
and
even
arpa
is
limited
to
helping
people
who
are
impacted
by
copic
19
and
regrettably,
there
are
some
people
who
just
are
not
necessarily
financially
impacted
by
cobit
19,
but
still
have
need
for
rent
assistance
and
other
help.
So
this
committee
will
has
the
responsibility
for
allocating
our
emergency
solutions
grant
or
making
recommendation
for
that
allocation
to
council
for
its
uses.
A
Now,
one
of
the
things
I
will
be
absolutely
frank
with
you
is
esg
is
not
a
flexible
grant
at
all.
It's
not
like
cbg.
It
is
very
prescribed
by
the
federal
government.
The
eligible
uses
are
street
outreach,
shelter,
operations,
case
management
and
direct
assistance
for
people
who
are
homeless
or
at
high
risk.
Homelessness.
A
Hud
has
four
definitions
of
homelessness
and
one
is
literally
homeless
living
in
a
place
on
the
street
or
a
place
not
fit
for
human
habitation
and
people
who
are
in
that
type
of
a
situation
are
eligible
for
rapidly
housing
money,
so
that
is
housing
assistance
to
get
them
into
a
into
permanent
housing
into
an
apartment.
A
There's
also
prevention
funding,
which
is
the
other
form
of
direct
assistance,
and
that
is
to
prevent
people
from
being
evicted,
usually
for
lack
of
ability
to
pay.
Obviously,
so
they
are
the
other
category
of
homelessness,
and
there
are
three
versions
of
that:
we're
not
going
to
go
into
that.
It's
not
really
relevant,
but
so
really,
we
have
not
only
limits
on
how
we
can
use
the
funds.
We
have
limits
of
what
proportion
of
funds
can
be
used
for
which
of
these
services,
and
that
is
coming
out
of
the
hearth
act
at
which
emergency.
A
The
the
esg,
when
they
moved
esg
from
emergency
services,
grant
to
emergency
solutions
grant
under
this
new
way
of
using
funding
prior
to
that
change,
really
all
of
esg
was
used
really
primarily
for
shelters
and
street
outreach,
that's
sort
of
not
for
not
for
the
getting
people
into
housing
or
keeping
them
housing
and
the
change
to
that
was
really
driven
by
the
housing
first
strategy
that
hud
adopted.
At
that
point.
This
was
during
the
obama
administration
anyway.
So
what
happens
with
esg?
A
Is
we
really
have
two
agencies
that
get
esg
directly?
One
is
connections
for
the
homeless
and
one
is
the
ywca.
A
And
connections
for
the
homeless
is
our
provider
of
street
outreach
work.
They
also
provide
shelter,
so
we
fund
them
for
shelter
operations
and
they
provide
prevention
and
rapid
rehousing
services.
The
ywca
provides
for
shelter,
so
they
get
money
for
shelter
operations.
Now.
What
happens,
though,
and
people
have
asked
about
this-
and
I
want
to
make
it
clear-
we
have
other
agencies
that
work
with
families
that
need
that
direct
rent
assistance.
A
A
One
of
the
things
that
all
of
our
other
agencies
know
is
that
if
they
have
somebody
who
needs
rent
assistance,
that
could
be
eligible,
they
need
to
direct
them
to
connections
for
the
homeless,
and
so
that's
really
how
we
holistically
try
to
help
serve
residents
of
evanston
who
are
eligible
for
that
rent
assistance,
whether
it's
rapid,
rehousing
or
homeless
prevention,
and
that
also
is
through
the
continuum
of
care's,
centralized
coordinated
intake
process
which
requires
and
hud
requires
esg
to
follow.
A
So
you
know
this
is
really
simply
the
effective
way
we
can
use
the
funds
and
the
actual
allocation
is
detailed
by
activity
in
the
in
the
memo,
and
it
also
shows
the
percentages
that
each
one
of
those
uses
will
be
allocated
to
each
of
the
uses.
A
The
key
thing,
the
other
key
thing
is:
we
are
able
to
switch
funding
between
prevention
and
rapid
rehousing
based
on
need,
so
we
start
out
with
an
allocation,
but
hud
agrees
that
you
fund
people
in
need,
as
they
present.
In
other
words,
it's
not
like
you
go.
Oh
I've
still
got
this
much
money
in
rapid
rehousing,
but
I
don't.
I
have
any
prevention
money,
so
I
can't
help
this
family.
It
doesn't
work
that
way.
It
is
flexible
that
way.
A
But,
as
I
say,
we
really
have
like
zero
flexibility
with
this
money,
because
it's
almost
it's
almost
more
like
a
contract
for
services,
I
mean
you,
you
say
you're
taking
this
money
and
you
deliver
the
services
with
the
agencies.
So
are
there
any
questions
from
the
committee?
Because
what
we
are
going
to
request
from
the
committee
is
your
is
a
vote
to
approve
this
recommendation
so
that
we
can
get
it
to
city
council
at
the
special
city
council
meeting
on
the
20th
of
september.
A
So
we
can
get
this
money
into
use
promptly
by
the
way
we
just
got
access
to
our
2021
funding,
our
our
three
entitlement
grants
at
the
very
end
of
august.
If
we
had
had
it
earlier,
we
would
have.
I
don't
know
what
we
would
have
done
gone
straight
to
council,
but
so
it's
it's
a
it's
a
weird
situation,
but
any
questions.
Anyone.
B
Yeah
sarah
I've
got
a
few
here.
I
was
trying
to
read
through
the
document
that
was
sent
ahead
of
time,
that
details
more
of
this
and
then
as
well
as
just
trying
to
pick
up
on
some
details,
as
you
were
speaking
so,
the
I'll
start
from
the
bottom.
Actually,
the
city
of
evanston,
seven
point
five
percent
of
administration
fee
it's
about
what
twelve
thousand
dollars.
What
does
that
actually
pay
for.
A
It
pays
primarily
for
city
staff
time
to
manage
the
grant
and
the
grant
process
and
there's
quite
a
bit
of
it,
because
there's
a
lot
of
reporting
and
that's
covered
by
so
we
report
on
esg
on
a
quarterly
basis
in
a
system
called
sage
which
is
a
totally
separate
system,
and
so
we
have
to
chase
down
the
numbers
that
get
pulled
out
of
the
hmis
system,
get
reformatted
and
put
into
the
sage
system.
A
We
also
have
a
lot
of
other
reporting
and
things
that
come
up
not
all
the
time,
but,
for
example,
this
year
earlier
in
june,
we
were
monitored
by
hud
on
esg,
and
so
we
spent
quite
a
number
of
hours
going
through
all
the
paperwork-
and
you
know
hud
does
very
detailed
monitorings.
You
know
we
have.
We
literally
have
to
get
files
that
they
can
review,
and
you
know
make
sure
that
income
certifications
are
being
done
correctly.
A
It
also
allows
for
staff
time
that
is
used
for
the
esg
portion
of
preparing
the
action
plan
and
doing
a
lot
of
other
related
things.
All
three
of
our
hud
entitlement
grants
are
covered
by
a
five-year
consolidated
plan,
and
then
each
year
we
develop
an
action
plan
and
even
though
it
sounds
like
it's
again,
it's
very
sort
of
formulaic,
but
it's
there's
an
awful
lot
of
time
on
all
this
stuff
and
also
jessica.
We
don't
wait
for
hud
to
monitor.
A
We
do
regular
monitoring
and
follow
up
with
our
providers,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
when
we
we
pay,
this
is
paid
on
a
reimbursement.
We
have
to
go
through
all
the
invoicing
and
make
sure
things
match
up
and
one
of
the
really
challenging
things.
Each
year
we
get
esg
money
and
we
have
up
to
two
years
to
spend
it
from
when
we
actually
receive
it
and
depending
on
timing.
A
B
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that.
Sir.
That's
really
helpful.
I
think,
just
as
a
tangent
off
of
that
just
sort
of
two.
The
two-part
question
here
is:
do
we
know
how
much
of
the
remaining
money
going
towards
connections
for
the
homeless
in
the
ywca
would
be
then
spent
on
their
administrative
costs
and
then
is
there
an
overall
estimate
of
how
many
people
this
would
actually
impact
and
help.
A
They
don't
actually
spend
it
on
their
administrative
costs
they
spend.
It
connections
uses
it
for
staff
for
direct
program
providers.
Street
outreach
workers,
some
of
their
case
managers.
They
actually
spend
generally
a
very
small
proportion
of
it
on
staffing,
with
the
exception
of
some
of
the
street
outreach,
where
much
of
the
work
is
staffing
most
of
it
is
spent
in
prevention
and
rapid
rehousing.
A
Most
of
that
is
direct
pass
through
to
the
landlords.
One
of
the
things
about
esg
is
normal
esg,
not
in
covent
time,
and
that's
what's
going
to
happen
with
the
2021
esg.
It
doesn't
get
the
waivers
that
we
got
with
2020
esg.
A
There
is
a
100
match
requirement,
so
we
also
have
to
prove
that
the
people
we
are
working
with
the
agencies
we
are
working
with
and
and
or
the
city
are
putting
in
a
hundred
percent
on
our
of
our
own
money
to
the
same
activities
and
and
work,
and
so
what
usually
happens
is
connections,
for
example,
uses
a
large
proportion
of
its
staffing
that
is
funded.
I
believe,
most
of
the
time
through
the
illinois
department
of
public
health
or
one
of
the
other
state
agencies,
and
that
is
used
as
the
match.
A
So
that's
the
other.
The
other
thing
you
spend
more
time
doing
paperwork
than
you
sometimes
have
money
to
spend.
But
you
know
it
really
is:
there's
an
awful
lot
of
compliance
with
this
particular
grant.
A
So
in
a
normal
year
jessica.
Maybe
you
can
do
better
on
this.
I
think
that
many
of
the
times
are
during
the
pandemic.
We
have
been
giving
people
much
longer
periods
of
rent
assistance,
because
many
people
didn't
regain
any
income,
but
let's
try
to
give
if
you
can
go
back
to
a
normal
year
and
maybe
estimate
the
number
of
people
or
households.
That
would
be
helpful
with.
H
Prevention
usually
serves
about
five
to
seven
households
and
rapidly
housing,
as
sarah
mentioned
earlier,
because
we're
following
the
housing
first
model.
So
so,
we've
we've
put
more
funds
traditionally
into
rapid
rehousing
that
serves
about
10
households
and
that
can
vary
based
on
household
size.
So
a
household
can
be
an
individual
or
a
person
of
one
or
it
can
be
a
family
of
three
or
four
and,
as
we
know,
in
evanston,
rents
for
families
are
much
more
expensive
and
and
take
a
a
much
bigger
subsidy
than
rents
for
individuals.
A
And
with
the
shelters
are
our
normal
pre
having
the
much
expanded,
shelter
capacity
that
we
have
right
now
because
of
the
karate
funding
we
were.
Probably
our
esg
program
was
probably
serving
250
to
300
homeless
people
in
shelters
between
the
ywca
and
the
connection
for
the
homeless
and
street
outreach.
A
A
lot
of
times
they're
working
with
a
pretty
consistent
group-
it's
not
you
know,
we
don't
have
the
we
didn't,
have
the
levels
of
influx,
but
that
was
generally
probably
150
or
so
individuals
that
were
supported
through
street
outreaching.
Here,
if
I
recall
correctly,
so
it
actually
can
serve
a
lot
of
people,
it
doesn't
cover
anywhere
near
all
the
costs
for
any
of
those
programs,
of
course,
so.
A
I
don't
think
we
want
to
take
questions.
I
think
maybe
we
can
do
a
public
comment
after
we
get
another
opportunity,
a
public
comment,
but
I
I
don't
want
to
really.
H
A
Can
do
that
I
mean
we
can
take
a
public
comment,
but
I
just
I
I'd
rather
just
proceed
with
business
right
at
the
moment
and
then
go
back
and
do
what
that
opportunity
will
come
in.
So
any
other
questions
on
this
item.
A
And
barring
any
more
questions,
can
we
get
a
motion
to
approve.
J
I
will
motion
to
well
I'll,
let
someone
else
actually
do
it
I'll.
Second,
it.
G
Okay-
and
we
do
actually
have
to
do
a
thank
you-
we
do
need
to
do
a
roll
call
vote.
B
H
Danita
cribbins,
yes,
amanda.
H
A
Thank
you
all
all
right
now.
What
I'd
really
like
to
do
is
move
into
the
real,
the
biggest
part
of
our
committee's
work,
but
briefly,
we
need
to
look
at.
A
The
meeting
schedule,
because
you
have
to
improve
your
meeting
schedule,
but
what
jessica
and
I
are
proposing
doing,
is
having
a
special
meeting,
thursday
september
23rd,
to
make
allocations
of
our
primary
funding
responsibilities,
which
is
the
cdbg
public
services
funding
and
the
human
services
funding.
That
is
city
funding
that
has
historically
been
called
mental
health
board
funding,
and
we
really
are
anxious
to
get
that
allocated
to
the
agencies
and
we
are
excited
to
be
able
to.
We
hope,
have
a
full
committee
member,
a
full
meeting
of
all
committee
members
on
september
23rd.
A
If
that
will
meet
committee
members
schedules.
This
is
something
that
traditionally
we
have
in
person.
We
would
reserve
city
council
chambers,
but
it
probably
could
be
a
hybrid
or
virtual.
We
can
work
that
out.
You
know
it's.
A
lot
of
us
aren't
anxious
to
be
in
large
rooms
full
of
people,
but
so
we're
at.
A
We
would
like
to
ask
to
see
if
your
calendars
can
accommodate
that,
because
we
really
would
like
to
then
be
able
to
get
the
recommendations
of
the
committee
to
council
first
to
human
services
in
the
october
meeting
and
then
on
to
city
council
and
get
money
out
to
the
agencies
yet
in
the
month
of
october.
A
So
I
don't
know
if
everybody
is
going
to
be
able
to
absolutely
check
their
calendars.
I
think
this
is
something
that
we
can
do
a
follow-up
check
and
actually
confirm
and
just
to
confirm
a
special
meeting
later
on,
but
we
did
want
to
bring
it
up
and
see
if
we
at
least
initially
look
like
we
could
get
most
of
our
members
or
all
of
our
members.
J
Yeah
I'll
come
in
and
say
that
I
think
that
sounds
fine.
I
think
we
can
determine
the
special
meeting
between
now
and
the
23rd
by
email.
I
do
just
and
then
we
can
confirm
this
regular
meeting
schedule.
If
that's
what
you're,
if
that's,
what
you're.
A
J
Yes
and
then
also
so,
I
will
make
the
motion
to
approve
the
regular
meeting
schedule,
for
you
know,
thursday
october
14th
november,
11th
and
december
7th,
at
7
pm.
J
All
right,
all
right
and,
and
then
also
so
I
do
want
to
make
a
one
follow-up
just
point
of
clearly
I
I
do
certainly
appreciate
miss
flex.
You
lead
in
the
meeting.
I
wonder
if
we
can,
after
this
motion,
appoints
one
of
the
residents
as
just
a
temporary
chair.
So
if
there
is
a
chair-like
decision
that
has
to
be
made,
it
is
made
by
some.
You
can
continue.
I
think
you're
doing
a
great
job,
but
if
we
can,
you
know,
I.
G
J
G
J
I
J
G
A
Yes-
and
I
think,
that's
appropriate-
I
didn't
even
think
of
that
council
member
reid.
I
appreciate
that
I
should
have
thought
that
earlier
I
can
go,
but
we
actually
have
those
are
the
action
items
that
are
required,
so
the
remaining
things
are.
If
we
want
to
ask
for
anyone
else,
giving
another
opportunity
for
public
comment
so
that
our
audience,
members,
questions
or
information
is
put
into
the
public
record,
and
then
we
have
a
staff
sort
of
presentation
just
to
walk
everyone
through
the
next
steps
on
the
allocation
process.
A
Okay
and
I'm
gonna
just
take
my
well.
Maybe
I
should
just
leave
it
here.
I'm
sorry,
I'm
having
trouble.
I
G
A
I
will
answer:
ali
harned
actually
put
a
question
into
the
q:
a
can.
These
funds
be
used
for
homeless,
district
65
and
district
202
students.
A
They
can,
if
it's
the
families
if
they
are
in
a
family
in
a
household,
rapid,
rehousing
and
prevention,
are
not
generally
used
just
for
independent
students
because
they're,
not
they,
wouldn't.
It
wouldn't
be
appropriate
to
house
them
independently,
but
they
can
be
used
for
the
families
of
students
in
the
schools
and-
and
they
frequently
are.
A
I
H
H
B
H
B
H
H
H
The
main
social
services
that
the
city
offers
include
basic
basic
needs
like
food
and
housing
supports
that
increase
self-sufficiency
like
education
and
employment
assistance
and
supports
for
youth.
So
this
is
our
summer
youth,
employment
program
and
our
enrichment
programs,
and
these
services
are
not
just
the
services
that
we
fund
externally,
but
there
are
also
services
that
are
offered
by
internal
city
programs.
H
The
findings
of
that
study
in
2018
were
inconclusive.
What
we
did
learned
that
our
biggest
challenge
is
inconsistent
collection
of
data
and
our
biggest
shortcoming
was
that
people
had
difficulty
finding
appropriate
services
when
they
needed
them.
So
in
2019
council
also
directed
staff
to
build
racial
equity
into
our
provision
of
services.
H
The
city
believes
that
equity
is
about
offering
more
to
those
who
need
more.
It's
not
about
equality,
and
we
can
talk
about
that
if
there
are
any
questions,
but
we
recognize
that
government
can't
be
all
things
to
all
people,
but
government
should
be
a
central
point
of
contact
that
connects
residents
to
the
resources
needed
to
address
harms
caused
by
systemic
racism
and
historically
racist
practices,
so
that
equity
work
again
is
foundational
to
our
restructuring
of
the
allocation
process
and
to
the
structuring
of
our
committees.
H
G
H
H
The
new
process
may
focus
more
resources
on
fewer
households,
but
those
households
will
gain
self-sufficiency
as
an
outcome,
so
our
new
process
bear
with
me.
This
might
be
review
for
some,
but
it
might
be
new
for
others,
so
it
starts
through
funding,
case
management,
services
and
specifically
holistic
case
management
services.
So
what
does
that
mean?
And
why
is
it
the
focus?
H
Most
social
services
have
a
case
management
component,
but
holistic
case
management
is
able
to
address
all
of
the
needs.
A
household
may
have
whether
those
needs
include
housing,
workforce
development,
assistance
with
transportation,
access
to
medical
and
mental
health
care,
support
for
young
children
or
school-aged
youth.
H
H
So
one
of
the
things
we
look
for
is
that
a
loss
of
funding
would
lead
to
a
reduction
in
staff.
That's
something
we
want
to
prevent.
H
So
it's
important
to
consider
the
number
of
evanston
residents
that
the
program
serves
and
the
number
of
evanston
residents
that
the
agency
would
be
able
to
enroll
if
awarded
funding.
This
would
include
referrals
from
city
staff
and
safety
net
providers,
so
the
key
is
when
people
in
need
are
identified.
H
H
That's
the
critical
component
in
safetynet
services,
and
for
that
we
use
the
but
four
rule
to
define
safety
net
services
so,
but
for
the
service,
the
stability
or
well-being
of
the
individual
or
household
would
be
threatened.
So
when
applied,
it
defines
services
that
have
an
immediate
measurable
impact.
So,
for
example,
we
can
tell
that
you
know
a
defined
number
of
meals
were
provided
or
a
defined
number
of
people
or
households
were
housed
expanding
on
those
examples.
H
This
is
an
example
of
a
safety
net
service
that
can
also
connect
people
to
deeper
case
management
services
and
more
holistic
services,
but
that's
not
a
requirement
of
safety
net
services.
Sometimes,
safety
net
services
are
just
the
provision
of
the
specific
item
that
that
will
prevent
a
household
or
individual
from
falling
into
destabilization.
H
Okay,
we
also
want
to
look
at
support
services.
No,
we
have
not.
We.
The
applications
have
only
been
open
for
case
management
and
safety
net
services.
We,
we
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
explore
support
support
services,
but
support
services
are
critical
for
clients
in
case
management.
This
is
the
second
component
of
our
new
client
client
centered
service
delivery
process,
and
this
is
where
the
voices
of
people
in
need
of
services
or
accessing
services
are
really
able
to
come
out
and
define,
define
the
services
that
they
receive.
H
So
services
can
be
provided
more
immediately
if
they're
paid
for
on
perhaps
a
fee-for-service
basis
and
individual
client's
needs
will
vary.
So
we
want
to
have
flexibility
with
this
funding.
We,
the
goal
is
to
hear
from
case
management
providers
what
services
their
clients
need
to
be
able
to
reach
self-sufficiency,
and
then,
whether
those
services
are
job
training
or
education
programs,
child
care,
health
care-
you
know
whatever
they
may
be
and
then
determine
what
agencies
are
providing
those
services.
H
Another
option
for
support
services
is
to
provide
like
flexible
funds
for
immediate
or
urgent
needs
that
aren't
addressed
by
safety
net
services,
so
examples
can
be
transportation
whether
it's
bus
or
train
passes.
It
could
also
be
helping
people
or
helping
households
with
parking
tickets
so
that
they
don't
lose
their
car
and
lose
their
form
of
transportation
or
provide
immediate
emergency
car
repairs.
H
Other
examples
could
include
like
emergency
dental
services
or
mental
health
services
not
covered
by
intake
programs
or
assistance
with
medication
management,
the
flexible
services.
Really.
The
goal
is
to
address
a
gap
that
that
other
subsidies
or
funds
don't
provide
for.
H
Okay,
so
so
this
slide
also,
I
apologize
if
it's
familiar
to
some,
but
this
is
just
an
outline
of
the
funds
we're
looking
at
for
2021,
and
you
can
see
it's
a
combination
of
our
cdbg
public
services.
Our
entitlement
grant.
H
This
slide
is
a
review
of
how
we've
we've
funded
services
in
the
past.
So
historically,
you
can
see
that
when
the
city
funds
agencies,
it's
been
primarily
for
supportive
services,
we're
pretty
supportive
services
heavy
and
that
again
goes
back
to
giving
agencies
money
for
the
good
work
that
they
were
doing.
H
But
through
this
restructured
process
we
would
be
funding
robust
case
management
services
about
40
safety
net
services
again
in
recognition
of
the
pandemic,
and
how
that's
really
had
a
severe
negative
impact
on
our
our
most
at-risk
households
and
then
a
smaller
portion
for
now
going
to
social
service
support
services.
H
Our
federal
funds,
so
the
cdbg
portion
of
these
funds
are
held
to
certain
restrictions.
They
must
serve
at
least
50
a
population,
that's
at
least
51
low,
moderate
income
and
that's
by
award.
H
Not
overall
funds
can
be
used
to
support
a
new
service
or
a
quantifiable
increase
to
the
level
of
existing
services
funds,
especially
cdbg
funds
can't
be
used
to
provide
operating
costs,
so
our
federal
funds
are
restricted
by
these
guidelines,
but
we
also
think
that
these
are
good
guidelines
for
our
local
funds,
even
though
there
is
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
with
our
local
funds,
we
like
holding
them
to
these
these
same
standards.
H
Okay,
so
agencies
have
applied,
as
we've
said,
for
case
management
through
for
case
management
and
for
safety
net
services.
The
agencies
in
blue,
we
feel
are
our
case
management
services
or
our
case
management
applicants,
and
then
we
also
have
our
safety
net
applicants
and
those
are
in
orange,
based
on
the
way
agencies
applied.
We
do
believe
that
there
are
some
that
fall
under
sort
of
this
category
of
supplemental
services,
so
they're
not
quite
holistic
case
management
and
and
for
various
reasons.
They
don't
quite
fall
under
our
safety
net
category.
H
But
this
is
just
a
quick
visual
to
show
how,
based
on
the
applications
staff,
believes
again
what
falls
under
case
management,
what
falls
under
safety
net
and
then
what
what
we
need
to
kind
of
reconsider.
B
I
can
still
just
go
sorry,
one
quick
thing
if
you
could
go
back
to
that
previous
slide
that
you
just
had
yeah.
So
I
remember
reviewing
these
earlier
this
year
for
case
management.
Safety
net.
Are
these
final
allocations?
Have
these
been
approved
and
granted.
H
No
thank
you
for
that
question.
So
so
the
amounts
listed
are
the
amounts
the
agencies
requested
in
their
application.
But
these
are
not
final
allocations
by
any
means.
A
One
of
the
things
that
jessica
pointed
out
is
some
of
the
applications,
for
that
were
in
case
management
are
not
really
don't
meet
the
what
the
the
requirements
to
be
the
robust
case
management.
They
are
case
management
primarily
around
a
specific
limited
type
of
service,
and
so
we've
for
purposes
of
this
chart
showed
where
we
we,
as
staff,
feel
they
really
fall
more
into
what
how
the
how
the
service
works-
and
this
is
something
that
actually
will
be
a
discussion.
A
I
mean
something
that
we
we,
we
believe,
needs
to
be
discussed
more
in
detail
by
the
committee,
because
it
doesn't
mean
they
aren't
something
that
is
worthy
of
funding
and
isn't
needed
in
the
community,
but
it
doesn't
they
do
based
on
their
application.
In
our
assessment
they
don't
really
meet
that
case
management
goal,
and
that
doesn't
mean
we
can't
work
with
agencies
if
they
want
to
grow
and
expand
their
services
to
do
that.
Those
are
the
types
of
things.
A
I
think
that
we
need
to
work
out
with
the
committee
and
then
staff
can
work
with
the
providers
to
direct
them
or
work
with
them
to
find
out
which
category
they
really
do
fit
in.
We
asked
a
lot
of
our
agencies
to
apply
in
a
whole
new
system
during
a
pandemic,
and
they
responded
incredibly
well,
but
it
is.
It
is
a
process
and
I
think
we're
going
to
see
some
agencies
or
some
programs
say
and
going
from
one
category
to
another
in
the
way.
A
I
think
we
want
to
track
and
evaluate
them,
because
we
don't
want
to
put
something
in
in
a
category
where
they're
not
going
to
meet
the
measures,
because
then
we're
going
to
be
measuring
them
as
not
effective
at
that,
but
they
may
be
very
effective
at
dealing
with
a
specific
need.
Does
that
make
sense?
E
I
have
a
question
so
it
sounds
like
you
know.
A
That
could
be
possible
and
or
another
thing
would
be
to
say
if
these
are
supplemental
services,
that
are
our
people
are
being
referred
to
or
and
actually
getting.
We
can
work
out
a
fee
for
services,
agreement
and
and
pay.
You
know,
get
an
up
to
amount
or
something
like
that
that
we
then
reimburse
them
on
a
service
by
service.
Provided
those
are
things,
and
you
know
we
may
not
be
able
to
move
to
that
in
one
year.
A
These
are
the
types
of
things
we
want
to
show
the
committee,
because
we
think
this
is
what
we
ultimately
believe.
We
need
to
get
to
to
fully
implement
the
model,
but
we
may
not
get
there.
In
one
year
we
may
just
to
a
certain
extent,
say:
hey.
We
need
to
fund
agencies
because
in
essence,
especially
with
our
cdbg,
the
cdbg
has
to
be
expended
in
our
our
fiscal
year.
A
2021,
that's
a
requirement
of
the
federal
government,
so
we
are
going
to
be
looking
with
the
cdbg
and
saying
the
agencies
are
going
to
report
on
work
that
they've
been
doing
this
year
and
we
will
fit
into
those
categories.
So
I
don't
think
any
of
us
ever
thought
we
would
have
such
a
complex
transition.
A
A
We
recommend
that
we
work
with
the
agencies
and
refine
the
allocations
based.
You
know
and
do
2022
allocations,
hopefully
in
maybe
beginning
of
the
second
quarter
in
2022,
based
on
how
progress
is
moving
and
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
what
one
of
the
other
benefits
of
this
combined
funding
is
that
we
can
start
funding
certain
things
with
local
funding,
so
that
not
some
agencies
who
historically
have
been
funded
exclusively
with
cdt,
got
all
their
funding
basically
paid
in
the
last
quarter
of
all
the
work
they've
done
earlier
in
the
year
too.
A
So
it's
a
cash
flow
thing
and
that's
one
of
the
things
we're
very
sensitive
to
is
is
a
challenge
with
our
different
funds,
and
we
sadly
do
not
control
that,
because
the
federal
government
it
releases
funding
when
the
federal
government
decides
to
release
funding
so
yeah.
There
are
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
things
that
have
to
be
worked
out
to,
I
believe,
to
get
to
what
we
envisioned
would
be
able
to
happen
with
this.
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
realize
I'd
left
myself
off
of
a
visual.
A
I
tried
to
stay,
but
these
are
all
things
that
we
need
to
talk
about
and
consider,
and
one
of
the
things
we
also
want
to
do
is
bring
reports
on
how
agencies
are
doing
to
the
committee
so
that
they
can
hear
that.
A
I
also
think
that
some
of
this
early
work
will
help
inform
help,
inform
how
we
look
at
social
services
with
arpa,
which,
as
council
member
reid
mentioned,
this
committee
will
be
involved
in
allocating,
because
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
to
look
for
needs
that
are
not
being
directly
met
in
the
in
the
community
and
figure
see
if
there
are
services
or
programs
that
we
think
can
be
initially
funded
or
sort
of
jump
started
with
arpa,
and
that
we
can
then
try
to
look
for
other
ongoing
sources
of
support,
because
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
very
important
thing.
A
We
don't
want
to
necessarily
put
money
into
programs
that
run
for
a
year
or
two
and
then
just
vanish
again.
We
need
to
figure
out
how
to
work,
to
support
them
longer
term
without
having
arpa
they.
We
have
to
figure
out
another
more
sort
of
long-going,
sustaining
method
of
sustaining
those
services.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
of,
I
think,
really
really
important
and
exciting
work
for
this
committee
to
do.
A
And
so
that's
why
we're
hoping
we
can
get
a
meeting
on
the
23rd
and
we
will
follow
up
with
everyone
on
the
committee
and
finalize
that
our
process,
then
I
mean
every,
I
think,
jessica
shared
with
everyone,
even
those
who
weren't
on
either
the
housing
and
community
development
act
committee
or
the
mental
health
board,
so
didn't
go
through
the
actual
meetings
where
all
of
the
applications
were
presented
and
all
that
background
information
was
provided.
A
We
will
write
up
more
stuff.
We
will
put
the
before
the
allocation
meeting.
A
We
will
provide
just
information
that
is
supplemental
to
that,
including
how
agencies
have
done
with
compliance
and
reporting
and
and
and
also
how
they've
met
objectives
before,
because
even
you
know,
in
other
words,
were
they
every
every
agency
has
in
their
sub-recipient
agreement
their
goals
and
measures.
You
know
how
many
people
they're
going
to
serve
what
the
what
they're
going
to
do,
in
other
words
similar
to
what
jessica
was
talking
about.
It's
not
just,
are
we
going
to
serve
them,
but
what
services
are
they
going
to
get?
A
A
One
of
the
things
the
social
services
core
committee
recommended
and
as
part
of
this
recommendation
is
that
we
really
look
at
at
those
outcomes
and
how
programs
are
progressing
and
if
they
are
not
delivering,
then
we
have
to
talk
and
figure
out
what
what's
going
on,
and
there
can
be
an
awful
lot
of
reasons
I
mean
we've
had
situations
where
an
agency
or
a
program
might
not
need
its
goals,
but
may
have
lost
significant
other
source
of
funding
or
something
like
that.
We
won't
ding
people
for
stuff
that
is
beyond
their
control.
A
A
But
but
this
was
also
one
of
the
challenges
getting
our
committee
up
and
running
is
to
give
not
just
the
part
of
the
purpose
of
jessica
going
through.
This
is
not
just
for
the
members
of
the
committee,
because
many
of
you
went
through
this
whole
transition
with
us
being
on
commit
on
on
one
of
the
two
committees
that
that
were
merged
into
this,
but
also
so
the
public
has
a
better
understanding
of
what
what
is
happening
and
the
agencies
are
very
anxious,
they're,
hoping
very
much
that
we
will
have
a
interim
committee
meeting.
A
So
if
it's
not
the
23rd,
we'll
end
up
with
the
google
poll
to
figure
out
what
we
can
get
one
in,
so
that
we
can
really
get
allocations
out.
So
are
there
other
questions
that
we
can
answer
or
any
other.
H
Thank
you
so
much
because
I
did
not
mean
to
gloss
over
all
of
the
agencies
did
submit
phenomenal
applications
and
we
know
that
they
do
excellent
work
and
it
is
just
a
matter
of
working
with
them
to
see
how
agencies
fit
into
holistic
case
management
safety,
net
services.
And
then
our
our
support
services
and
all
are
needed.
J
Certainly
nor
I
will
just
as
a
point
of
interest,
we
can
just
adjourn
the
meeting
without
that,
since
there's
no
further
business
before
us,
but
also,
I
will
motion
to
it
during
the
meeting.
