Equipment included wheelchairs, tub and <br /> transfer seats, lifts, walkers and other widely used pieces of equipment. <br /> Youth with a Positive Direction is proposing a new project, "Reconstruct!", which <br /> incorporates adults and families in a violence prevention training program. The proposal <br /> includes the Creating Lasting Connections for Life (CLC) Program which focuses on <br /> training parents and other adults as well as youth. This program includes a family physical <br /> fitness program, an adult reading and computer literacy component, and family support <br /> groups. The FY2001 project was an after school alternative education program which, <br /> although it did include families, focused primaxily on youth activities such as arts, tutoring <br /> and sports. <br /> 2. How much is the grant award for staf�'costs? <br /> Attached you will find the program budgets for each of the agency's for which staff has <br /> recommended funding. These budgets detail the amount of staff costs requested. Those <br /> amounts will be modified after the funding level has been determined. <br /> 3. How can we verify program output? <br /> During the application review process, staff looks for output measures. For example, a <br /> program goal would not be to implement a new after school program. Instead, the <br /> ' acceptable program goal would be to implement a new after school program to improve <br /> math and reading skills for 50 primary students in low-mod income households. The <br /> agencies provide monthly reports detailing the progress toward their program goals. <br /> 4. How does staff monitor the sub recipients to see how they are spending their money? <br /> Staffmonitors the sub recipients in accordance with OMB Circular A-122, Cost Principles <br /> for Nonprofit Organizations, 24 CFR Part 570 subparts J (grant administration) and K <br /> (other grant program requirements). Sub recipients are required to provide <br /> documentation of expenditures with their request for reimbursement. The expenditures <br /> are verified and compared to the budgeted amount before the reimbursement is approved. <br /> The sub recipients are required to provide monthly activity reports detailing the number <br /> and category of persons served. An on site visit is performed during the application <br /> review process. Staffwill also perForm on site visits during the year. <br /> 5. Is any attempt made to see if these persons being helped by one agency are being <br /> cross-assisted by other agencies in the City? <br /> Staff is aware that persons are sometimes receiving service from more than one agency <br /> because some of the programs funded are referral services. One example would be First <br /> Call for Help referring someone in need of a ramp to Easter Seals. There has not been any <br /> attempt to see if the same persons are receiving the same service from more than one <br /> agency in the city. Given the confidential nature of the information gathered by the <br /> agencies, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to address this question. <br /> 2 <br />
