Page 8 of 9 NYFS is requesting $10,000 to support the programs that directly support Roseville residents – Clinic-322 based Mental Health Services, School-Based Mental Health Services, Youth Diversion, Community 323 Connections and Community Case Management. Many of our clients are low income, uninsured or 324 underinsured and struggling to make their copays and while this was a problem before the pandemic, it 325 has gotten worse for clients who are struggling with post-pandemic mental and physical health issues 326 and economic upheaval. We have provided over $$ in uncompensated care to Roseville residents 327 during 2022. 328 329 The non-profit applicants have been invited to attend the City Council meeting. 330 331 POLICY OBJECTIVE 332 To ditribute funds from Roseville’s allocation of American Resuce Plan Act funds to ensure the 333 community is economically prosperous, phyiscally and mentally active and healthy and the City is 334 engaged in the community’s success as described in the City’s Community Aspirations. 335 FINANCIAL IMPACTS 336 The City received a total of $3,984,102.54 of ARPA funds. The City Council has directed $50,000 of 337 the ARPA funds to be distributed through the non-profit grant program. Five non-profit agencies have 338 applied for the maximum grant award of $10,000 for a total of $50,000 of requests. 339 340 RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT SUMMARY 341 The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 created funding to deliver $350 billion of aid to states, 342 municipalities, counties and Tribal governments. Among the key objectives of the funding was to 343 support an equitable recovery for households and businesses and address systemic public health and 344 economic challenges that have contributed to the unequal impact of the pandemic on certain 345 populations. As demonstrated in the submitted applications, the granting of ARPA funds to the local 346 non-profits will directly impact Roseville’s BIPOC community and community members of lower 347 socio-economic means. 348 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 349 Staff recommends the City Council review the submitted applications and award the following grants: 350 351 Bhutanese Community Organization of Minnesota $10,000 352 Bridging $10,000 353 Keystone $10,000 354 Karen Organization of Minnesota $10,000 355 Northeast Youth and Family Services $10,000 356 REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION 357 The City Council should review the submitted applications from area non-profits and consider awarding 358 grants to the following applicants: 359 360 Bhutanese Community Organization of Minnesota $10,000 361 Bridging $10,000 362 Keystone $10,000 363 Karen Organization of Minnesota $10,000 364 Northeast Youth and Family Services $10,000 365 366 367
