II Addltlonal CDBG RecoNmendatlons On Aprll 27, 1982, the Clty Councll approved the =ollowlng grants to conmunlty organlzatlons qua11fYLng for CDBG publLc serVlce funds for 1982-83: Latlno Resource Organlzatlon (Cltlzen PartLclpatlon Outreach) $ 97,500 P1CO Nelghborhood ASSoclatlon (Youth Actlvltles Progr~~) 43,000 $140,500 e e Mayor and C~ty Councll -3- June 8, 1982 In determln~ng recommended allocat~on of the add~tlonal 2% or $28,000, staff revlewed ellglble CDBG and GRS proposals WhlCh had not prevlously been recommended for fundlng. The followlng reconmendatlons resulted from thlS reVlew: Ocean Park Communlty Center (Chlld Abuse Pllot ProJect) $12,400 Nelghborhood Adult Partlclpation ProJect (Santa Monlca Center) 15,600 $28,000 The Chlld Abuse Pllot ProJect wlll provlde communlty educatlon and outreach on Chlld abuse, blllngual crlS1S lnterventlon counsellng In the home, famlly and group counsellng, and lnformatlon and referral serVlces.

Currently, NAPP rece~ves $16,018 lD GRS funds. A careful reVlew of NAPP's fundlng sltuatlon and lts current Santa MODlca program lndlcates a hlgh level of flscal lnstablllty due to recent fundlng cuts and a need to lncrease program V1Slblllty and octreach ln Santa MOTIlca. In Ilght of these concerns, staff recommends that CDBG fundlng for one nelghborhood worker and related program costs be predlcated on the followlng condltlons. 1) Tne award be granted only lf NAPP recelves 1982-83 fundlng from the County of Los Angeles lncludlng County fundlng of one nelghborhood worker for the Santa Monlca progran. 2) The two nelghborhood workers be located on-slte at the P1CO Nelghborhood ASsoClatlon to ensure coordlnatlon of actlvltles wlth PNA, and expanded outreach to the P1CO Nelghborhood. (PNA lndlcates a wl11lngness to provlde free space and outreach tralnlng for the NAPP staff.) e e Mayor and Clty Counell -4- June 8, 1982 If these cond~tlons cannot be met, staff recommends that the $15,600 be set aSlde for the prov~slon of emergency food and shelter for tranSlents In Santa Monlca.
