DISCUSSION
The Social Service Grant Program (SSG) was established in 1986 by the Long Beach City Council to encourage the development of innovative programs to address unmet and emerging social service needs of low-income Long Beach residents. The purpose of the Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESGP) is to improve the quality and number of emergency homeless shelters by funding emergency shelter and homeless prevention projects.

On February 16, 2005 and June 15, 2005 the Board of Health and Human Services (BOH), in conjunction with the Homeless Services Advisory Committee, Community Development Advisory Commission and the Housing Development Corporation, held a public hearing to determine the social service needs within the City of Long Beach. Additionally, the MultiService Center for the Homeless issued a client survey to 1,200 clients to determine the needs of homeless individuals and families in Long Beach. Through this process, priorityfunding categories for the SSGP and the ESGP were established and announced in a Request for Proposals (RFP) process seeking service providers.

The RFP was released on March 29, 2005 at a workshop for all interested applicants.
Thirty-eight applications were received by the April 22, 2005 deadline...
