9 Our Approach Transparent and open solicitation to identify the broadest set of eligible providers/costs to participate in Sandy SSBG funding; If eligible applicants exceed available funding, the State will use objective criteria to prioritize. Draft and Confidential9

10 Eligible Costs Traditional SSBG-funded services: Adoption Services Case Management Services Congregate Meals Counseling Services Day CareAdults Day CareChildren Education and Training Services Employment Services Family Planning Services Foster Care ServicesAdults Foster Care ServicesChildren Health-Related Services Home-Based Services Home-Delivered Meals Housing Services Independent/Transitional Living Services Information and Referral Services Legal Services Pregnancy and Parenting Services Prevention and Intervention Services Protective ServicesAdults Protective ServicesChildren Recreational Services Residential Treatment Services Special ServicesDisabled Special ServicesYouth at Risk Substance Abuse Services Transportation Services Other Services Draft and Confidential10 In addition, the Sandy SSBG supplemental appropriation also allows funding to be used for: Renovation, repair and rebuilding services Health care and mental health services

11 Evaluation and Scoring Need: How does the proposal provide services / benefits to a vulnerable population (i.e. those with significant healthcare and/or human services needs, high poverty rates or other community characteristics that may indicate a need for social services) that was impacted by Superstorm Sandy or address the recovery needs of a facility serving a vulnerable population that was impacted by Superstorm Sandy? (Maximum of 40 points) Impact: To what extent will the proposal have a meaningful impact on addressing the identified needs of the vulnerable population impacted by Superstorm Sandy, including by demonstrating the appropriateness of the approach to meet the needs of the target population? (Maximum of 30 points) Availability of Alternative Funding: To what extent are there viable alternative sources of funding available to accomplish the same goals without seeking SSBG funding? (Maximum of 20 points) Draft and Confidential11

12 Evaluation and Scoring Resiliency: While addressing the immediate needs of those impacted by Superstorm Sandy, how does the proposal, as a collateral benefit, also promote future resiliency by addressing location- and population-based vulnerabilities and, for capital projects, proposing to rebuild/repair to a greater level of resilience? For non-capital projects, commitment to resilience may be demonstrated by the organization having an existing preparedness plan, among other strategies. (Maximum of 10 points) The inter-agency review committee may award supplemental points for applications that address an otherwise unmet need, ensure availability of funding to the full range of health and human services providers and/or demonstrate that funding is essential to the applicants ability to operationally recover from Sandy. (Maximum of 15 points) Draft and Confidential12

13 Requirements All applications must be complete in order to be evaluated. The State may contact applicants for supplementary information, as needed. In the event of a tie in evaluation, the committee will take a vote to select an award; if the vote is tied, then the projects will receive proportional funding. Awards to non-profit applicants will be contingent upon their successful completion of the Pre-Qualification Process prior to signing a contract for SSBG funds. Awards to for-profit applicants will be contingent upon successful demonstration of applicant responsibility based on the Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire. Following an initial round of funding, the State may adjust allocation levels within and among the Focus Areas based on the level of response from eligible applicants with high-quality proposals. Any changes in allocations will be posted for public review prior to being implemented. The State will continue to fund eligible projects in order of their evaluation results until all funds are exhausted. The State reserves the right to fund proposals in whole or in part.
