Summary
The city is redirecting nearly all federal public-service grant money to a four-bedroom Mission Hope home for homeless families with children, leaving several nonprofits unfunded this year. Council members promised to replace the roughly $65,000 shortfall from the general fund at the May budget workshop, with a bigger, more flexible grant program (up to $10,000 per nonprofit) and checks possibly by August.

Impact analysis
About $79,000 in federal grant money redirected to bridge housing; roughly $65,000 in general fund money proposed to backfill nonprofits, growing the community services grant program from $90,000 to about $155,000.
Homeless families with children get a stable local home with wraparound services, keeping kids in the same schools.
Nonprofits that relied on CDBG funding face a funding gap until the city makes good on its backfill promise.
