| 1 | | Human Services Commission Item | A. City of Columbia Social Services Funding Allocation Process
Hollis asked what the commission liked about the funding process and if there are any suggested changes. The commission unanimously agreed that they enjoy the site visits. Ford said the site visits seemed to go even more smoothly this year with Hollis also attending each visit. Hollis reviewed the proposal rating system. No changes were suggested.
Hollis said the Apricot for Funders system is no longer being supported by the vendor, so the Boone impact Group partners are exploring other funding management software options. The partners plan to keep the proposal and report forms the same for this year while a new product is being selected. Hollis said he will keep the commission posted don’t he process and he is certain his replacement will involve the commission in the design of the new system and forms. The commission acknowledged the current system's limitations and hopes to have something less clunky.

| 1 | | Human Services Commission Item | B. FY2025 RFP Social Services
Hollis reviewed the FY2025 Request for Proposals for social services addressing opportunity issues. Hollis said the primary decision is whether or not to include out of school programming as an eligible service. Hollis said his position will again be not to do so given the substantial resources for these services available from the Boone County Children's Service Fund and the United Way. After brief discussion, Hollis asked the commission to be thinking about this issue and to be prepared to make a decision at the April meeting. Hollis said he plans to invite the Boone Impact Group partners to the March meeting to again review their respective funding processed and priorities. There was unanimous support from the commission for doing so. |

Hollis explained that HOME funding is for affordable housing development and CDBG can be used for housing, community facilities, and community services. Hollis said he and his staff will be discussing the idea of hosting a follow up affordable housing and homelessness summit with the new Housing Department director. This could include the rollout of the forthcoming housing study commissioned by the City and County. |

| 1 | | Human Services Commission Item | B. Staff Report
Thorn asked about updates on the Opportunity Campus. Hollis explained that the city is still working on the ARPA contract, but they are making progress. Hollis said his understanding is that they have received a significant level of donations and have lined up state and tax credit funds, but they are waiting to hear back from the county as the county did not fund the project in the first round of ARPA allocations.
Hollis said they have several partners on board, and multiple redesigns have been based on their input. RATI will merge into VAC, but Turning Point and Loaves and Fishes will stay independent. Partners like Burrell have agreed to lease space at the market rate. They will offer space to Turning Point and Loaves and Fishes below the market rate. The funding from leases is an essential part of their business plan. Hollis said he has worked hard to ensure funding was made available for RATI to operate year-round and Turning Point to operate all day so that these services would be available at the campus. Hollis said they are moving ahead with the project, |
