HOPESOU RCE -SENIOR ADVOCACY PROGRAM <br />1. Somewhere in the Project Description Summary it needs to be made clear that you <br />are requesting and additional $45,000.00 to be added to the $80,000.00 you are <br />already approved to receive for this program in 2018. Then list each year and <br />amounts with the 5% added through 2023. This should impact your request because <br />you already have $80,000 allocated for 2018. If this is not a correct assumption, <br />then essentially you are asking for over $200,000.00 for this program in 2018. Very <br />confusing. NG <br />HopeSource modified Project Description Summary: <br />HopeSource is requesting amendment of the current contract with funding for direct <br />service rental assistance of $125,507.00 annually, which is the historic $80,000.00 plus <br />$45,000.00, with an escalator of 5% per year through 2023. These funds will immediately <br />remove the wait list for housing. SSAP has historically ensured that 24 vulnerable seniors <br />annually are prevented from remaining or returning to homelessness. Data indicates that <br />70 additional seniors could require assistance of become homeless in the next three to five <br />years. <br />2. Redo Goals, Strategies and Measures to be more specific and measurable and include <br />timelines. Use the sample sheet provided. NG <br />See revised goals worksheet <br />3. More detail is needed in the budget narrative. How much from this budget is being <br />expended directly on seniors and how much on staff? Why are you asking for a 5% <br />escalation each year? Does that benefit the seniors or staff salaries or operational costs? NG <br />Direct client service will total $93,840.00 and non -administrative staff will total $15,987.00 <br />in the first grant year. Requested increases will address standard annual COLA (cost of <br />living adjustment) of 3% plus additional increases in rents anticipated due to lack of <br />housing availability. <br />4. Proposal Details #4 Partnerships, page 9. Are these entities actual, real partners? I do not <br />mean they just happen to provide services to people; are they actual partners with <br />HopeSource? JF <br />HopeSource regularly works with and considers the organizations listed in the grant as <br />collaborative partners in meeting the needs of vulnerable populations in our community. <br />
