,
RE: REVISED OISTRIBUTION PLAN . � �
The Mayor's Office has decided that the funds made available to us from
the State through the captioned program should be distributed through
them.
This morning, I described the following revised distribution plan to
Patrick Leary at the Minnesota Oepartment of Jobs and Training:
Upon receiving our contract from the State
Department of Jobs and Training, the Mayor's Office
will notify private nonprofit organizations provid-
ing assistance to homeless persons or families of the
availability of funds.
The nonprofi.ts will be invited to submit their ideas
for uses of the funds to the Mayor's Office. This
process is expected to be completed within a 30-45
day period. The Mayor's Office will make the final
determination regarding distribution of the funds.
Leary said that this revised process is acceptable to the State and that no
amendment to the application which we had submitted to them was necessary.

PAftT II. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRIBL'TION PLAN
The City of Saint Paul's method of identifying the progr�ms or agencies to receive
these grant monies will be coordinated by the Minneapolis/Saint Paul Family Housing
Fund (the "Fund") under its More Than Shelter Program.
The More Than Shelter Program was formally initiated in the fall of 1985 by the
Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the Counties.of Kamsey and Hennepin, and �
the Fund as a response to the problems of homeless persons. The Program is primarily
a fund-raising and facility development vehicle. The Fund, which is a private, non-
profit housing finance corporation recognized under Section 501(c)3 of the Tax Code,
acts in a fiduciary capacity to receive and distribute funds which are contributed to
the Program, to prepare periodic progress reports, and to arrange for the monitoring
and evaluation of various program elements. The Board of Directors of the Fund
is composed of the llgayors from Saint Paul and Minneapolis, two members from
each City Council, plus representatives of local business and labor organizations.
, The More Than Shelter Program focuses on providing decent, safe and affordable
housing to homeless persons, but also incorporates the provision of services to homeless
residents in appropriate facilities. The Program effort spans a fairly broad spectrum
of need--ranging from persons who need considerable support services and supervision
to those whose lives are in transition, usually to a higher degree of self-sufficiency
to those who are c8pable of independent living, yet lack affordable, permanent housing.
The Program element which addresses the need of persons who require considerable
support services and supervision--persons who are literally homeless and in need
of overnight shelter--is the element through which the Emergency Shelter Grants
Program money will be distributed.
Coordinated administration of all Program elements is achieved through a staff committee,
including representatives of the Minneapolis Community Development A.gency (the
"MCDA"�, the Saint Paul Department of Planning and Economic Development ("PED'�,
both counties, and the Fund. When a proposal is introduced, it receives the immediate
attention of the local public development agency (either the MCDA or PED) and the
Fund to formulate project or program detaiLs, including financing.
. . . " �-�-Q�
At the present time, several proposals in need of funding for eligible emergency shelter
activities have been received by PED and the Fund. There is currently sufficient
demand for eligible emergency shelter activities in the City of Saint Paul to quickly
obligate all of the $42,000.00 in funds available through this cycle of the Emergency
Shelter Grants Program.
As projects are made ready for implementation, and uses which qualify as eligible �
activties under Section 575.21(s) of the federal regulations relating to the Emergency
Shelter Grants Program are quantified, the Fund will propose a specific financing
package to its Board of Directors for consideration. The financing package will
identify the specific sources of financing (such as federal Emergency Shelter Grant
Program funds-and matching funds, including philanthropic contributions, local city
government loans, and private investor dollars) and the specific uses of financing
(such as eligible Emergeny Shelter Grants Prc�gram activities and other activities).
Although the More Than Shelter Program is a joint Twin Cities/two Counties effort,
the Fund does have the ability to, and has for previous donations, allocate geogr8phically-
targeted funds to only one city or county. The Fund is also able to arrange for the
specific reporting requirements related to the Emergency Shelter Grants Prog�ram.
The Fund is in the unique position to ensure this reporting because of its ability to
track separate accounts of financing sources.
. The 1986 year-end report for the More Than Shelter Program, Fxhibit A, illustrates �
the range of projects done to-date.
