Report
Summary
At the April 21, 2020 Special Policy Session, City Council approved the 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan, 2019 Annual Action Plan Amendment to include allocations and waivers authorized by the CARES Act to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 public health crisis. On May 6, 2020, City Council approved the request to use these funds to assist non-profit organizations serving low- and moderate-income Phoenix residents that provide goods and services, or support a change in business model, related to COVID-19.
On May 28, 2020, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued by the Neighborhood Services Department to assist non-profit organizations providing goods and services to low- and moderate-income Phoenix residents. A total of 47 responsive applications, requesting $2,093,577, was received by the June 11, 2020 deadline. Applications were evaluated and scored by the Community Development Review Committee, an 11-member committee appointed by the Mayor.
Each proposal was evaluated on a 1,000 point scale: Community Need (250), Proposed Outcomes and Impact (250), Readiness to Proceed (250), Organization Experience and Capacity (250). Funding recommendations were developed based on the overall committee's scores. The following list identifies the 44 organizations the CD Review Committee recommended funding for a total of $2 million.
