RE: Application for Federal Shelter Plus Care Program Funds
DATE: February 19, 1992
The Maine State Housing Authority has requested that the City of
Bangor submit an application for federal Shelter Care Plus Program
funds to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grant
funds applied for, in the approximate amount of $974,580 would be
used by three local non-profit organisations to provide, over a
5 -year period, rental assistance to 37 homeless individuals o
households who would also receive, as the local match, supportive
services, equal in value to the amount of rental assistance.
The three non-profit organisations are Community Health and
Counseling Services, Central Maine Indian Association, and the
Eastern Baine AIDS network. Each has designed a program to provide
shelter and supportive care services to various sequence of the
homeless population. The federal funds will provide rental
assistance to program recipients. Funding for the accompanying
support services is provided by the non -profits with, primarily,
state funding received from the Department of Mental Health and Human
Services.
No City of Bangor resources will be involved in the proposed
activities, nor will the federal funds pass through the City. The
City acts only as the grant applicant, certifies compliance with the
applicable federal requirements which pertain to Civil Rights, Fair
Housing, Equal Opportunity, Handicap Accessibility, Antidiscrimina-
tion, Affirmative Action, Drug -Free Workplace, Environmental laws,
Conflict of Interest and assures that the programa proposed for
funding will be managed in accordance with the grant agreement. Upon
the award of grant funds, agreements will be executed between the
City and each of the non -profits to hold them responsible for
compliance with the federal requirements and terms and conditions of
the grant agreement. The Community Development staff will period-
ically monitor the non -profits for compliance with these agreements.
The non -profits and the City will be subject to BUD conducted audits,
reviews and monitoring visits.
Only states and municipalities are eligible applicants for these
funds. The Maine State Housing Authority has, as of Thursday,
February 13, 1992, declined to be the applicant and has requested
that the City of Bangor act as applicant on behalf of the three
non -profits seeking funding. Applications for these funds must be
received by HOD not later than Friday, February 28, 1992.
92-131
City Council approval is requested for an Order authorising the
City Manager to submit to and file with HUD an application for
Shelter Plus Care Program funds which incorporate the proposals of
the three non -profits.
FY 1992 funds in the amount of $37,200,000 are available for this
Program. Applications will compete on a national basis for award of
funds. HUD has committed that at least one award will be made to
each HUD region. Bangor is in Region i which includes the entire
northeastern united States.
