AGENDA
REPORT

June 20, 2023
DISCUSSION:
The City of Richmond is required to complete an actuarial valuation report on a biennial basis for the Police and Firemen's Pension Plan, the General Pension Plan, the Garfield Pension Plan, and the two Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Plans (City and Richmond Police Officers Association).
In the summer of 2020, City staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit actuarial firms that best served the public sector pension clients in the State of California. Four proposals were received, from Van Iwaarden Associates, Lauterbach & Amen, LLP, Jefferson Solutions, Inc., and Nyhart. These responses were reviewed by a panel made up of City staff from the Finance Department. After reviewing the four responses and comparing them to the requirements identified in the RFP, the panel selected Nyhart and Van Iwaarden Associates as the most responsive. These firms were then invited to participate in the interview process. The same review panel interviewed representatives from the two firms, with questions focusing on the proposed budget, experience working with governmental agencies, and overall history of the firms.
Van Iwaarden Associates was selected based on their overall experience, as well as their specific experience regarding the City’s specific needs.
Upon considering all aspects of the criteria mentioned above, a contract with Van Iwaarden Associates in the amount of $26,000 for the period from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022, with two (2) one-year extensions was approved on June 15, 2021. The First contract amendment was subsequently made to increase the contract payment limit amount by $8,000. The Second contract amendment was subsequently made to increase the amount by $64,500 and extend the contract term to June 30, 2023.
The City’s Deputy Director of Finance would like to exercise the second one-year extension option with VIA Actuarial Services based on satisfactory performance. The contract term will be extended to June 30, 2024. VIA Actuarial Services will be providing the City with the required valuation reports for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2023, that comply with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 68 and No. 75.
Also, VIA Actuarial Services will be providing the City with supplemental analysis and funding reports related to Pensions and Other Post Employment Benefits.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.
CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.
CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.
City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.
Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.
Minimum Scope of Insurance – the following forms shall be provided and coverage shall be at least as broad as the following:
1. Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability coverage (ISO Occurrence Form CG 0001), and including coverage for bodily and personal injury, property damage, and products and completed operations (if applicable).

General Liability
(primary and excess limits
combined)
$2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the policy includes a general aggregate, either the general aggregate shall apply separately to this project, service or location or the minimum required aggregate limit shall be twice the per occurrence limit.

Type 2 – Page 3 of 3
Revised: June 2011

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.
The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.
Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.
Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manger. However, CONTRACTOR must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.
Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.
CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.
CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.
City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.
Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The Fiscal Year 2023-2024 appropriations limit for the
City of Richmond is required to be established and
adopted pursuant to Article XIIIB of the Constitution of the State of California. In addition, the Fiscal Year 2022- 2023 appropriations limit approved by City Council on

Department (Nickie Mastay/Mubeen Qader 510-412-

AGENDA
REPORT
752
June 20, 2023
DISCUSSION:
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, passed by California voters in 1979, establishes an annual limitation on appropriations of tax proceeds for all municipalities.
Article XIIIB requires all local government entities to establish annual appropriations limits. The limitation is calculated by using appropriations of 1979 as the base year and adjusting for changes in growth of inflation and population.
California Government Code Section 7910 requires cities to establish appropriations limit by resolution. Adoption of the attached resolution will approve the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 and adjusted Fiscal Year 2022-2023 appropriations limits.
For Fiscal Year 2023-2024, the appropriations limit has been determined to be $502,279,172.
For Fiscal Year 2022-2023, the appropriations limit of $473,560,478 was passed and adopted by the City Council on June 21, 2022. The adopted Fiscal Year 2022-2023 appropriations limit was calculated by using the percentage change in per capita personal income published by State of California Department of Finance in the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ measure of personal income as opposed to that published by State of California Department of Finance in the Price and Population Factors Used for Appropriations Limit Calculations. The Fiscal Year 2022-2023 appropriations limit needs to be adjusted to $482,663,645 to reflect the percentage change in per capita personal income of 7.55 percent. This has no negative impact to the City as the City’s Fiscal Year 2022-2023 appropriation remains unchanged, and is below the adjusted Fiscal Year 2022-2023 appropriations limit of $482,663,645.

ACTION:
ADOPT a resolution approving the ratified contract
amendment between the IFPTE Local 21 Executive
Management Bargaining Unit, providing for four agreed upon compensation enhancements to the parties’ Memorandum of Understanding, and authorization of implementation of the Segal Classification and Compensation Study for IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Bargaining Unit – Human
Resources (Nickie Mastay/ Sharrone Taylor 510-620-6602).
DISCUSSION:
On April 21, 2020, the City entered into a contract with The Segal Group, Inc. to conduct a comprehensive City-wide classification and compensation study to yield recommended classification specifications and a proposed competitive salary structure.
The Segal Group, Inc. conducted an extensive salary survey, reviewed over 230 job titles, and received and analyzed job description questionnaires from approximately 330 employees. At the completion of the study, the Segal Group, Inc. recommended the establishment of a new salary structure and an overhaul of the job descriptions to ensure uniformity and modernization. In addition, several classifications were retitled to better describe the job duties being performed, and classifications deemed obsolete were recommended for removal.
The Human Resources Department negotiated in good faith with the IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Bargaining Unit regarding the implementation of the recommendations of the study. The parties have come to an agreement about the implementation of the study via a contract amendment agreement. The agreement provides for:
Implementation of the Segal Classification and Compensation Study for the IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Bargaining Unit as negotiated by the parties.
Four additional compensation enhancements to the Parties’ 2021-2025 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU):
1. Increase the value of the existing January 2024 base wage increase from four percent (4%) to five percent (5%);
2. Increase the value of the existing January 2025 base wage increase from four percent (4%) to five percent (5%);
3. Establish a City contribution to a deferred compensation account for each Executive in the amount of two percent (2%) of each employee’s semi-monthly base salary to occur each pay period starting July 2023 and;
4. Add longevity pay as described in the agreement starting July 2023 758
June 20, 2023
The Human Resources Department is bringing forth the ratified contract amendment for City Council’s approval of the four agreed upon compensation enhancements to the parties’ Memorandum of Understanding and implementation of the Segal Classification and Compensation Study for the IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Bargaining Unit. The ratified contract agreement between the City and the IFPTE Local 21 amends the Executive Management Bargaining Unit’s Memorandum of Understanding (Attachment 1).

TOTAL 972,652 1,050,586 1,092,609
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends that the City Council approve the ratified contract amendment between the City and IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Bargaining Unit.
Approval provides authority for the agreed upon compensation enhancements to the parties’ Memorandum of Understanding and authorizes implementation of the Segal Classification and Compensation Study for the IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Bargaining Unit.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon approval of the resolution adopting the ratified contract agreement and authorization to implement the Segal recommendations, Human Resources staff will implement the two percent (2%) City contribution to deferred compensation effective July 1, 2023, for the employees in IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Bargaining Unit. Additionally, Human Resources staff will continue to collaborate with the IFPTE Local 21 Union to finalize the Executive Management job descriptions and classification deletions and retitles.

The camps include an educational component to help prevent summer learning loss while in a fun and interactive environment.
Both camps are designed to enrich the lives of youth ages 6 through 12. Each summer, to augment the camp curriculum, excursions are offered as a supplement to daily activities. These excursions are a traditional and integral part of each participant’s experience.

15. Indemnification.
(a) If this Contract is a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) and Contractor is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses including attorneys’ fees arising out of, or pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, except where caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of the City. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend and indemnify the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, regardless of nature or type, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.
Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. Contractor’s obligation to 784
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13
indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.
(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, its officers, agents, employees or volunteers.

An allegation or determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for the claim does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 15. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole, or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. (d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 15 survives completion of the services or the termination of this Contract.
The provisions of this Section 15 are not limited by, and do not affect, the provisions of this Contract relating to insurance.

If any insurance policy is written on a claims-made form: 1) the retroactive date must be shown, and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of contract work. 2) Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work. 3) If coverage is canceled or nonrenewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the contract effective date, the Contractor must purchase an extended period coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of contract work.
Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin. The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.
Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed, or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.
Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manager. However, Contractor must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.
Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

The ECIA grant application was released on December 27, 2022, and applications were due on February 5, 2023. A total of 44 grant applications were received of which 42 eligible applications were submitted to the ECIA Grant Review Committee (Committee) for evaluation and scoring in April 2023. The 42 eligible applications equated to over $1.5 million in award requests. All applications were evaluated and rated independently by each Committee member using the criteria listed below.

o Financial Viability (Total 20 points)
o Richmond-based (10 extra points)
Committee members submitted their scores and evaluations to City staff members in May 2023. City staff members totaled and averaged the scores for each application and generated rankings (a ranking of 1 denoting the highest average score overall, a ranking of 2 denoting the second highest average score overall, etc.). The Committee met on June 7, 2023, to discuss the rankings and propose funding recommendations for City Council’s approval (Attachment 2 – FY 2023-2024 ECIA Grant Evaluation Matrix and Ranking Sheet).

ECIA BACKGROUND
On July 29, 2014, the Richmond City Council approved the Chevron Environmental and Community Investment Agreement (ECIA), which will invest $90 million dollars to the Richmond community over 10-years. The ECIA includes investments in community programs, a scholarship program, competitive community grants, community-based greenhouse gas reduction programs, and a photovoltaic solar farm.
The ECIA specifies the amount and disbursement timeline of Chevron’s funding obligation, as well as funding allocations over a ten-year period (beginning in 2016) for the following programs:
• Scholarship program - $35 million
• Electric City and Easy Go - $18 million
• Roof-top solar, energy retrofit, zoning ordinance update - $6.25 million • Job training program - $6 million
• Competitive grant program - $6 million
• Transportation and transit programs - $2.75 million
• Public safety programs - $2 million
• Urban Forestry - $2 million
• Free internet access - $1 million
• Climate Action Plan - $1 million
It is proposed that $325,000 is allocated for the FY 2023-24 grant cycle.
It is the goal of the Richmond City Council to provide opportunities for organizations with varying capacities and financial needs to have access to ECIA grant funds. ECIA grant funds are awarded on an annual basis and therefore, organizations should not become reliant on this funding source. All Richmond-serving non-profit organizations are eligible to apply for funding; however, in an attempt to fund a variety of organizations, the City Council would like to allocate the majority of the available grant funding to organizations that have smaller annual budgets, greater needs for capacity building and limited staffing, and that might not have access to other forms of funding.
929
Guidelines -4- FY 2023-2024 ECIA Grant
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Organizations must meet the following conditions to be eligible to apply for a grant:
• Provide services focused on the community, youth and/or youth sports to Richmond and North Richmond residents
• Operate as a non-profit entity with 501(c)(3) tax status with current financial statements (i.e., Filed I.R.S. Form 990 or 990-N or current audited financials). Fiscal sponsors can be used.
• Provide services to Richmond residents (Richmond-serving) ▪ A minimum of 80 percent of the organization’s proposed grant-funded programs/services must be provided to Richmond residents.

FISCAL SPONSORSHIPS
What types of organizations should utilize a fiscal sponsor? • A non-governmental organization (sponsoree) that does not have 501(c)(3) tax status must utilize a fiscal sponsor to apply for this grant. It is the sole responsibility of the sponsoree to find an organization with 501(c)(3) tax status that is willing to serve as a fiscal sponsor.
What is fiscal sponsorship?
• Fiscal sponsorship allows organizations without 501(c)(3) tax status to apply for the ECIA grant, as well as other grants that require an organization to have such status. • A fiscal sponsorship agreement should be entered into between the sponsoree and an organization that has 501(c)(3) tax status.
• The fiscal sponsorship agreement allows the sponsoree to raise tax-deductible contributions through grants and individual donations.
• Tax-deductible funds are given to the fiscal sponsor and restricted to the use of the sponsoree.
How does a fiscal sponsorship work for the ECIA grant process?:
• The fiscal sponsor will serve as the applicant. Fiscal sponsors will enter into a grant services agreement with the City of Richmond and must meet all requirements and submit all required documents.
• A signed agreement between the sponsoree and fiscal sponsor must be included in the submitted application. The organization actually implementing the program and performing the services will act as the sponsoree or fiscal sponsor’s sub-grantee. • Fiscal sponsors can also apply for grants.
• In addition to requesting funds for its own purposes, organizations may also act as a fiscal agent for other organizations.
COLLABORATING ORGANIZATIONS
Through this grant program, the City strongly encourages applicants to collaborate with other organizations. Collaboration is a mutually beneficial relationship to meet a common goal. Collaboration can come in many forms, from information sharing to joint programming. It can help organizations reduce redundancy in service sectors, leverage resources, share strengths, and increase efficiencies.
For purposes of this grant, when partnering with another organization, the application and budget of the lead organization will be considered for review and determination of funding. Therefore, the partnering organization is free to apply independently for funding for another project or program.
If the successful implementation of your proposed ECIA grant-funded program is dependent on the collaboration with a governmental entity (i.e., state, county, city, school district, etc.), then a written agreement authorizing the collaborative relationship must accompany your grant application. At a minimum, the agreement should contain the following information: names of the government entity(ies) or agency(ies) which will participate in the collaboration, contact information for the partner(s), and a description of 933
Guidelines -8- FY 2023-2024 ECIA Grant
the primary purpose of the collaboration. For example, if the implementation of your proposed program is contingent upon working at a school in the West Contra Costa County Unified School District or utilizing space at a Richmond recreation center, then a letter from the collaborating entity must agree to the proposed partnership.

DISCUSSION:
Background
On December 20, 2022, the City Council approved the Richmond Fund for Children and Youth (RFCY) fiscal year (FY) 2023-2024 Request for Proposals (RFP) (See Attachment 1 – RFCY FY 2023-2024 Request for Proposal). The RFP was released on December 27, 2022, and closed on February 13, 2023. In alignment with the six Priority Areas of the 2021-2024 Strategic Investment Plan, the funding allocations based on an estimated $2.88 million in total available grant funding for FY 2023-2024 are as follows:
954
June 20, 2023
Priority Area % of Total Funds
Mental Health and Wellness 20% = $576,000
Education Support and Employment Training/Support 20% = $576,000 Out of School Time, Afterschool Sports, and Enrichment
Programming 20% = $576,000
Information, Guidance, and Case Management 20% = $576,000 Violence Prevention 10% = $288,000
Basic Needs 10% = $288,000
Total 100% = $2.88 M
Organizations that receive an RFCY grant will be awarded for a one-year period beginning July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024 (FY 2023-2024).
Funding parameters were based on the agency applicant type consisting of the following:
Small and Emerging Applicants (grant request range of $30,000 up to $100,000)
Single Agency Applicant (grant request range of $40,000 up to $200,000) Collaborative Applicant (grant request range of $50,000 up to $150,000) Applicants were eligible to submit up to three (3) proposals either as a Single Agency applicant, Small and Emerging, or Collaborative applicant, as long as the proposals were substantially different.
Outreach and Technical Support
Information about the FY 2023-2024 RFCY grant cycle was posted to the City’s website, presented in the City Manager’s Weekly Report, posted on the Department’s social media platforms, and emailed through various list serves to inform as many organizations as possible of the Children and Youth grant.
In addition, the City hosted two (2) pre-proposal conferences that focused on reviewing the grant guidelines and completing the application included in the RFP. All grantrelated materials and video-recorded training sessions were posted on the City’s RFCY grant webpage.
955
June 20, 2023
Evaluation Process
A total of 22 grant applications were received, and 19 applications were submitted to the RFP Grant Review Committee (Committee) for evaluation and scoring during April and May 2023. The 19 applications equated to approximately $2 million in award requests. All reviewed applications were evaluated and rated independently by each Committee member using the criteria listed below.

The eligible applications were organized into six (6) groups based on the six (6) priority areas. Each group consisted of a minimum of five (5) reviewers, with each applicant receiving a minimum of three (3) reviews utilizing a standard scoresheet to score/rate each narrative element. All reviewers signed conflict of interest forms prior to reviewing applications and City staff took additional steps to ensure no reviewers scored proposals where they may have such a conflict.
Applications were scored from one to five in individual sections and then given a multiplier that rendered scores up to a total of 100 points. Agencies located in Richmond received an extra five (5) bonus points per the City’s Business Opportunity Ordinance. Committee members submitted their final scores and evaluations to City staff in May 2023. City staff then totaled and averaged the scores for each application and generated rankings in each priority area (a ranking of 1 denoting the highest average score overall, a ranking of 2 denoting the second-highest average score overall, etc.). Subsequently, each Committee met following their initial review and score submission and discussed their scores, overall rankings, and proposed funding recommendations.
During those meetings, the reviewers agreed that a scoring floor or threshold of approximately 70 points should be the minimum score eligible for funding recommendation. The intent behind this choice was to preserve and allow for funding to those organizations’ program applications that represented the highest quality and standards of service offerings for Richmond youth and their families. 956

Next Steps
After approval of the grant award recommendations by City Council, City staff will enter into grant agreements with awardees. City staff will manage the contract processes which include, but are not limited to, entering into contracts with grantees, contract administration, serving as a point of contact for all grantees, conducting site visits, reviewing progress reports, and reviewing and approving invoices.
City staff, reviewers, and the Board agreed that organizations that were not recommended for funding would most benefit from technical assistance or capacity building. Such support (e.g., strategic planning, budgeting/financial, executive director coaching, grant writing, etc.) would allow for improved operations and grant awards in subsequent years. It is the intent of City staff to provide such support in FY 2023-2024 and we are working on an RFP to solicit those services and provide access to organizations that could best utilize the assistance. Organizations will have the opportunity to apply for other City-sponsored grant programs, such as the Environmental and Community Investment Agreement (ECIA) grant, or the next round of RFCY grants, which will be available in 2024.

Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 5 II. Richmond Fund for Children and Youth (RFCY) Introduction The Richmond Fund for Children and Youth (RFCY) is pleased to release the 2021-2024 Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit program proposals from non-profit organizations and public agencies to provide services to children and youth in Richmond and North Richmond, California.
We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with strong community agencies to best serve the needs of Richmond’s children and youth.
This RFP covers the six priority areas outlined in the 2021-2024 Strategic Investment Plan, which was developed through an extensive community engagement process and can be found on RFCY’s grant webpage (http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/RFCYGrants). All applicants are strongly encouraged to read the 2021-2024 Strategic Investment Plan in addition to this RFP before starting the application process.
Grants awarded through this RFP process will be for a one-year period, July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 (FY 2023-2024). The total projected amount available for FY2023-2024 grant awards through this RFP is approximately $1.86 million; however, there is approximately $5.6 million available in FY 2023-2024 to renew grant applications for FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023 grantees and award funds to new grantees in FY 2023-2024 (based on the 3% General Fund allocation per the Richmond Charter, Article 15).
The Richmond Fund for Children and Youth
On June 5, 2018, Richmond voters approved Measures E and K, known as the Richmond Kids First Initiative, which approved a City of Richmond charter amendment (Article 15) to:
Create a Richmond Department of Children and Youth (RDCY), Establish the Richmond Fund for Children and Youth (Fund) which requires that a portion of the City’s General Fund be set aside to fund youth programs and services, Establish a 15-member Oversight Board,
Conduct a Community Needs Assessment (CNA), and
Develop a three-year Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) which guides a 3-year grant-making process.
Per the ballot measure’s Statement of Purpose, “Children, youth and young adults under the age of 24 comprise approximately 35% of the City of Richmond’s overall population, and young people in Richmond experience extremely high rates of violence, trauma, poor health and social outcomes, and stress.”
Richmond and North Richmond’s children and young people demand consistent and equitable access to healthy, safe, supportive, and inspiring environments at home and in community to foster their learning, growth, empowerment, and fulfillment. 964
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 6 The Fund was set up to provide a dedicated funding source to help address some of the issues facing Richmond’s young people and will be maintained separate and apart from all other City funds. At the time of the City’s budget adoption, the City is required to set aside a portion of the annual actual unrestricted general purpose revenues to be transferred in the amounts specified below:
For Fiscal Year 2021-2022, set aside for the Fund is an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the City’s annual actual unrestricted general purpose revenues For Fiscal Year 2022-2023, set aside for the Fund is an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the City’s annual actual unrestricted general purpose revenues For Fiscal Year 2023-2024, and each fiscal year thereafter through Fiscal Year 2027-2028, set aside for the Fund is an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the City’s annual actual unrestricted general purpose revenues
The Fund aims to support programs that focus on community-based initiatives and interventions that improve the community institutions and environments that our children and young people interact with and navigate daily.
Goals of the Richmond Fund for Children and Youth
Per the Charter, the Fund will support services for young people that fulfill the following goals:
To ensure that Richmond’s children, youth, and young adults are physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially healthy, educated, successful in school, and live in stable safe and supported families and communities
To increase safety for children, youth, young adults, their parents/guardians, families and the communities in which they live by preventing problems and enhancing the strengths of children, youth, young adults and their families
To ensure young people are provided with gender responsive, trauma-informed, population specific and culturally competent services
To strengthen collaboration among public agencies and community-based organizations around shared outcomes among all service providers for children, youth, young adults and their parents/guardians
To ensure an equitable distribution of resources to all of Richmond’s young people in recognition of the importance of investment in their futures from birth through young adulthood
To fill gaps in services and leverage other resources whenever feasible More information is available online from the Richmond Fund for Children and Youth website at www.richmondyouth.org.

RDCY staff initiated a needs assessment and strategic planning process in 2020 that sought to honor community voice, and include a diverse range of youth and adults in order to develop a comprehensive, equitable investment plan that reflects community vision. The City committed to guiding principles for creating both the Community Needs Assessment (CNA) and the Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) as follows:
LEARNING QUESTIONS
The following guiding learning questions were developed to focus the CNA effort:
What is working? What are the key assets for children, youth, and their families in Richmond and North Richmond?
How are resources and services that support youth currently dispersed? What are the gaps?

TYPE OF APPLICANTS
Small and Emerging Applicants
The Small and Emerging designation focuses on smaller organizations and assists grass root organizations to be funded by RFCY. Organizations in this category may have recently received their 501(c)(3) status, after having been fiscally sponsored. If the organization does not have 501(c)(3) status, it must apply using a fiscal sponsor. If the organization has 501(c)(3) status, it may still choose to use a fiscal sponsor.
If the organizational budget is under $250,000 in the current or most recent fiscal/calendar year, not including the RFCY grant request, an organization must identify/apply as a Small and Emerging Applicant. RFCY staff will utilize audited or reviewed financials, 990s and/or 990Ns, and/or income statements to confirm the applicant’s budget for placement in this category. If an organization utilizes a fiscal sponsor, the fiscal sponsor budget will not be used to determine the 971
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 13 proper designation. However, the City will still enter into the grant agreement with the fiscal sponsor in the event a grant is awarded.
Entities listed in Article 15, Section 5b of the Charter may apply as a single entity in this category as long as they demonstrate that they have met the definition of collaboration as defined in this RFP (see Eligibility section, page 10).
Single Agency Applicant
A Single Agency Applicant is one agency applying for RFCY funding. This applicant is also referred to as the lead agency and will be the agency that contracts with the City of Richmond.
Applicants in this category have an organizational budget over $250,000, not including the RFCY grant request. RFCY staff will utilize financial documents to confirm the applicant’s budget for placement in this category.
Entities listed in Article 15, Section 5b of the Charter may apply as a single entity in this category as long as they demonstrate that they have met the definition of collaboration as defined in this RFP (see Eligibility section, page 10).
Collaborative Applicants
Through this grant program, the City strongly encourages applicants to collaborate with other organizations. Collaboration is a mutually beneficial relationship to meet a common goal.
Collaboration can come in many forms, from information sharing to joint programming. It can help organizations reduce redundancy in service sectors, leverage resources, share strengths, and increase efficiencies. RFCY strongly encourages collaboration between nonprofit and public entities to create and sustain collaborations that maximize the cost-effectiveness and quality of service delivery.
A Collaborative Applicant must consist of two or more agencies, each contributing substantially toward a mutual goal, where at least two of the agencies are proposing to receive RFCY funds.
Substantial participation includes providing direct services, and/or planning and coordinating services, and/or having equal collaboration in decision making around program design and/or implementation. No one agency should receive more than eighty percent (80%) of the funding.
When completing budget documents, please make clear how funding will be allocated between collaborating organizations.
The lead agency of a Collaborative will be the agency that contracts with the City of Richmond.
Collaboratives must choose a lead agency that has the fiscal and management capacity to support the other collaborating organization by issuing payments in a timely and professional manner. All collaborative organizations of a collaborative must have the capacity to provide services as presented in the proposal.
972
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 14 The Collaborative should examine how the involvement of other collaborating organizations will be best coordinated within the model. RFCY will not consider lead agencies that act simply as a fiscal pass through. All agencies, schools, and/or program sites must be active parts of program implementation.
Entities listed in Article 15, Section 5b of the Charter may apply as part of a Collaborative applicant in this category.
NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS
Understanding that entities are diverse in their program offerings, an entity can submit more than one (1) but no more than three (3) proposals as a lead agency requesting funding, as long as the proposals are requesting funding for programming that is substantially different.
Substantially different programming is defined as having a different priority area OR program design OR staffing OR program location OR target population receiving services.
Applicants may submit separate proposals for their own program and be part of a Collaborative proposal as long as the proposals are substantially different. Applicants may not receive funds as a single agency and as part of a Collaborative for the same program. Applicants may submit substantially different proposals within the same priority area.
Applicants may not submit the same proposal more than one time to different RFCY priority areas. Select the most appropriate priority area that best aligns to your program and submit only one request proposal for the proposed program.
Please note that the reviewers will look closely at and/or take into consideration the ratio between your organization’s total requests and your organization’s overall current year budget when determining grant awards. It is STRONGLY recommended that organizations do not submit grant requests that equate to more than 40% of their overall organizational budget.
Public agencies are able to submit separate proposals per department and/or division, as long as the departments and/or divisions are substantially different in the services that they provide to the community and have separate and distinct budgets.
Special Note: Entities listed in Article 15, Section 5b of the Charter may apply as a Collaborative Applicant with a formalized agreement AND may also apply as a single agency in which they demonstrate collaboration between their organization and a community-based organization (no formalized agreement required).
These entities include West Contra Costa Unified School District, Richmond libraries, Office of Neighborhood Safety, Richmond Promise College Scholarship Program, Richmond Housing Authority, Richmond YouthWORKS.
Special Note: If City Richmond Department(s) and/or Division(s) are awarded grants, the proposed program and funding award must meet the requirements as set forth in Article 15 of Section 5(J) and Section 6 of the City of Richmond Charter. 973

Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 22 III. Funding Priority Areas for FY 2021‐2024
The Community Needs Assessment (CNA) process provided an overview of current data and findings related to children, youth, and their families in Richmond, and North Richmond, California – specifically as related to the focus of the Richmond Fund for Children and Youth.
Community input was gathered through focus groups and interviews with youth, parents/guardians and providers, surveys, forums, and the review of multiple reports and secondary data resources. The CNA, which guided the development of the Strategic Investment Plan (SIP), identified six priority areas for investment. Priorities were identified by synthesizing these data sources and surfacing issues that were raised across multiple groups and subgroups and within the framework of the legislation informing the Richmond Kids First Initiative.
The six priority areas were then assigned a percentage allocation based on considerations of the urgency of the need and potential for equity impact. The priority areas, not listed in order of importance, are as follows:
PRIORITY AREAS
Estimated % of
Total Funds
1. Behavioral Health: Mental Health and Wellness 20% = $372,000
2. Education Support and Employment/Training Support 20% = $372,000
3. Out of School Time, After-School, Sports, and Enrichment 20% = $372,000
4. Youth Violence Prevention 20% = $372,000
5. Access to Basic Needs 10% = $186,000
6. Information, Guidance and Case Management 10% = $186,000 Total Estimated Funding in FY 2023-24 100% = $1.86M
The approved SIP will guide RDCY’s three-year grant cycle between 2021 and 2024. The third round of grant funding for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024) is estimated to total approximately $1.86 million (based on the City’s Fiscal Year 2022-23 revenue amounts).
Estimated funding is approximate for the priority areas.
Cross-Strategy Approaches
The SIP provides further information related to these priorities and begins to detail options regarding programming, approaches and populations that will benefit from investment. There were also several approaches identified related to programming that could cross several of the six inter-related priority areas identified above. These cross-cutting approaches include but are not limited to:
Trauma informed programming
Healing
981
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 23 Caring adults participating in the lives of youth
Trusting relationships with providers
Meeting children and youth where they are (e.g., school or neighborhood) “Push in” supports rather than “opt in” supports for those hard to reach (e.g. reaching out to our most marginalized students)
Valuing and recognizing identity while building belonging Staffing programs with individuals with lived experience or cultural fluency who can effectively engage youth – “Have staff who can not only represent a culture but can be restorative and beneficial to the culture”
Providing culturally competent programming and services which reflect the diversity of Richmond and North Richmond
Improving translation and language equity
Improving access by robustly sharing information out to the community Equity in place
Including and valuing youth voice in the design and implementation of programming There are numerous options for programmatic strategies identified under each priority, and it is likely that not all of them will be proposed or funded in this initial year of the Fund. RDCY is committed to using an equity perspective in its grant programs to ensure that the Fund fills gaps in services, provides resources to those populations that have been identified as underresourced, and strategically contributes to meaningful results for children and youth.
Tip: The six priority areas that will be funded through this RFP process are listed in detail in the following section and additional information can be found in the RFCY Strategic Investment Plan at www.richmondyouth.org.
982
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 24 Mental Health and wellness for Richmond and North Richmond children and youth clearly stood out in the Community Needs Assessment. The community has identified stress and trauma as an issue for children and youth in the community. Given the many health stressors in the community, there are children at risk of mental health and developmental impact given their exposure to “adverse childhood experiences.” At the same time, youth expressed that they have experienced depression. Programs that support mental health and wellness and that address mental health needs will help Richmond and North Richmond children and youth to thrive.
Included in this priority is mental health education which will be targeted toward reducing stigma and increasing understanding of mental health and wellness issues.
The issue of mental health and well-being was a concern across all of the focus groups that were conducted. This is particularly true for Black and Latinx residents who are disproportionately exposed to violence leading to long-term impacts on health and well-being. Trauma-informed programming, as well as behavioral and mental health programs, emerged as a significant need for children, youth, and families along with the need for that programming to consider the rich diversity of residents, many of whom have are experiencing the trauma of the constant threat of family deportation, violence in the community, discrimination and more. Also, the need for culturally fluent approaches is central to filling this gap as many of Richmond and North Richmond’s children, youth, and families come from non-western cultures where there may be barriers and stigma attached to western approaches to mental health and wellness programming.
Options for Supported Programming
Integrate behavioral health strategies into programming that support mental health and wellness
Provide a “safe space” and support mental health along with social and emotional wellbeing for young children and youth Provide supportive relationships, including counseling and support for children and youth
Strengthen school-based and group programming (e.g., anxiety or anger management) Diversify access (e.g., by opening access to short-term needs and those not being served)
Address trauma and support healing skills
Behavioral and mental health education for children, youth, and families; build access and openness to receiving support
Priority 1: Support Behavioral Health: Mental Health and Wellness for Children and Youth
983
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 25 Priority Populations
Disconnected youth
Young people who themselves are homeless, or whose families are homeless or threatened by homelessness
Young people living in poverty
Immigrant and undocumented children and youth
LGBTQ+ children, youth, and families
Youth who have experienced trauma
Young people with poor physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral health outcomes Desired Results
Increased access to mental or behavioral health programs and services (Indicator:
number of unique and new participants)
Decreased stigma about receiving mental health services Reduced reliance on substances to deal with mental and behavioral health issues Increased awareness of available mental or behavioral health services 984
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 26 Richmond and North Richmond youth participating in the Community Needs Assessment consistently expressed the desire to be successful in school and go on to college or employment. In the 2019 Richmond Community Survey, residents were asked what areas the City should prioritize in order to best support young people in Richmond. Education and Job Training received the highest response rate with 82% of respondents (308 responses) selecting this as a priority1
.
In the Community Needs Assessment, participants also identified the need for programs that support children and youth along their journey toward educational success, college, career, and employment. These needs emerged across surveys, focus groups, forums, and other sources.
Richmond and North Richmond children and youth want the chance to excel in school and career. There was a strong desire for more tutoring, broader college access programs, and extra support for those who may be struggling with a range of barriers such as transitional age youth (TAY) or new immigrants arriving as unaccompanied minor children. The latter is also an example of a group that needs accelerated or intensive language learning support.
Many older youth participants wanted support in moving toward employment and identified the need to learn more about employment requirements and career options via mentoring, internships, and, in some cases, job skills training as key to their success.
It is also notable that reliable access to resources such as high-speed internet and computer equipment, such as tablets, has become even more important in the current distance learning environment. Participants often pointed to disparities between nearby, wealthier districts outside of Richmond and North Richmond that are better resourced and have programs, tools, and infrastructure that allow for students to excel.
Options for Supported Programming
Programs that improve educational outcomes for high-need young children Targeted educational support (e.g., tutoring, language, homework assistance) for children and youth facing multiple challenges in moving forward to post-secondary education and employment (e.g., populations such as unaccompanied minor immigrants, system involved youth, or very low-income students) Career and college exposure at earlier ages (e.g., middle school programs) Internships to provide experience, skill building and exposure for youth 1 National Research Center and ICMA, The National Community Survey, Richmond, CA Technical Appendices, 2019 Priority 2: Provide Education Support and Employment/Training Support so that Youth Can Move to College and Career
985
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 27 Outreach and strategies directed to disconnected youth and systems-impacted youth who are not engaged in community programming
Expand access to West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) career readiness resources to students not in pathways
Priority populations
Youth of color
System involved young people and transitional-age youth (TAY) Disconnected youth
Young people who themselves are homeless, or whose families are homeless or threatened by homelessness
Socioeconomically disadvantaged children and young people Immigrant and undocumented children and youth
Students with disabilities
Youth from under-resourced neighborhoods (e.g., North Richmond, Iron Triangle) Desired Results
Education Support
Increased access to early learning
Kindergarten readiness
Improved third grade reading levels
Improved school attendance
Improved High School graduation rates
College entry and success rates
Reduction in chronic absenteeism
Black and Latinx college enrollment and persistence
Employment
Increased numbers of youth with work experience opportunities Increased numbers of youth accessing career and college Increased knowledge of programs
Increase in earnings/income for youth and young adults 986
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 28 This strategy builds on and expands available out-of-school and afterschool programming.
Participation in afterschool and out-of-school programs is linked to better academic outcomes.
For Richmond and North Richmond’s priority populations, targeted afterschool programming could improve their chances of completion and success in school as well as their connection to caring adults. Programs must be provided in a safe space with safe access for students.
Low-cost or no-cost out-of-school and after-school sports and enrichment programming scored high as both desired and needed for youth to thrive across groups. Sports were a popular suggestion as were outdoor activities such as gardening and hiking. The arts (music, dance, visual arts were all mentioned) were very often mixed in with responses to sports but were also often singled out as highly desirable. This is in addition to culturally relevant arts and other programming to help them to build awareness, strengthen self-esteem, and create a sense of belonging. Some groups stated there were few or no respectful and safe spaces to be with others like them. Existing after-school resources should be leveraged so that funding from the Fund could bring in those not participating and engage students who have barriers to participation.
Options for Supported Programming
● Programming that meets specific needs of children and youth at their age and stage ● Support youth voice to support diverse programming for students in later grades to develop their strengths and interests
● Free or very low-cost programming
● Funding to also engage parents to understand barriers to participation ● Enrichment programming (e.g., music & arts, science & technology, sports & recreation) ● Culturally relevant and fluent programming
● Academic support such as tutoring, homework support, etc. ● Outdoor programming
● Accessible programming for students with disabilities ● Youth development and leadership opportunities for positive youth engagement Priority Populations
This could include all of the priority populations and programs should be targeted toward including these hard to reach/underserved groups:
● Young people living in poverty
● Immigrant and undocumented children and youth
● Young people with poor physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral health outcomes Priority 3: Support Out‐of‐School Time, After‐school, Sports and Enrichment
987
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 29 ● Children with disabilities
● Students experiencing homelessness
● Students who are not engaged in out-of-school extracurricular activities ● Students at schools with high levels of free and reduced lunch ● Students in very high need locations
Desired Results
Expanded access to out-of-school, after-school, sports, and enrichment programming (Indicator: number and demographics of unique participants) Increased learning opportunities year round
Increased and more diverse offerings of culturally relevant programming Increase in caring adult relationships
Increased number of hours of academic support provided Increased number of no-cost or low-cost/fully subsidized programs Improved attendance
988
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 30 Priority 4: Expand Youth Violence Prevention Efforts Violence in the community came up as a barrier to participation and even as a significant barrier to everyday activity for priority populations. Violence manifests itself in many forms including gun violence, domestic violence, and more. In the focus groups, youth stated they could not go to many places in Richmond and North Richmond out of fear and that they were frequently uncomfortable to go out with groups of friends when one of them did not feel safe in a particular neighborhood. Others participating in the needs assessment spoke of witnessing violence or dangerous spots in their neighborhood. Bullying is also a concern for children. In addition, some participants also reported the fear of gender-based violence as a barrier to movement and participation in the community.
The 2019 Richmond Community Survey asked residents what areas the City should prioritize in order to best support young people in Richmond. Violence prevention and response received the second highest response rate with 73% of respondents (275 responses) selecting this as a priority2
. Other plans and reports including the 2019 Kaiser Community Health Needs Assessment and the North Richmond Quality of Life Plan also identified community safety as a priority.
Options for Supported programming
Programs supporting healthy development for children
Mentorship and other programs for youth that feature a caring adult Programs that support connection to after-school activities and reduce exposure to community risks
Programs outside of school
Peer-to-peer groups
Whole family/parent support
Anti-bullying programs
Programs focusing on African American and Latino/Latinx youth Youth skills programs: non-violent coping and communication skills Street outreach and community norm changes
Support for families experiencing domestic violence
Access to programs that are “close to home” or that provide safety support or community travel support that reduces risk of violence for youth (e.g., transportation vouchers or programs located next to public transportation) Priority populations
African American youth
Latino/Latinx youth

Young people who have been pushed out-of-school
Young people living in poverty
Children and youth who are impacted by the criminal justice system and/or who have family members who are incarcerated
Desired Results
Reduction in the number of youths involved in criminal activity Reduction in the numbers of youth homicides for those under 24 years of age Reduction in the numbers of youth that perpetrate violence Increase in the number of students who feel safe at school Reduction in bullying
Reduction in the number of children and youth that witness violence Increase in services that support whole-family violence prevention 990
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 32 Priority 5: Strengthen Access to Basic Needs
The Community Needs Assessment identified that many Richmond and North Richmond children, youth, and their families were struggling and needed support with meeting one or more of their basic needs (e.g., housing, food, medicine, utilities, and transportation) for their families. For homeless participants, housing and wraparound support was identified. For transitional age youth, the need for assistance in supporting their own household after they turned 18 was mentioned. For immigrant children, the need for financial support for families who were often barred from working full-time was mentioned. Justice-involved youth suggested that they needed access to support that they said was often contingent on having been in Juvenile Hall. For some parents and youth who wanted to access particular programs, transportation was identified as a barrier.
Given that this planning work was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, basic needs issues were heightened beyond the norm. It is widely expected that many families will face ongoing economic hardship as the pandemic wanes and the economy moves toward recovery.
Options for Supported Programming
Childcare support including childcare to provide relief to youth caring for siblings or parenting youth
Meal and nutrition support
Rental support
Navigation of available basic needs resources
Support for family resource centers
Support for families with barriers to access
Expanded homelessness prevention resources to identify and support children and youth at risk of homelessness in Richmond and North Richmond
Support for children and youth experiencing homelessness including coordination between outreach workers, after-school providers, schools, and shelter/housing resources
Priority Populations
Young people who themselves are homeless, or whose families are homeless or threatened by homelessness
Young people living in poverty
Immigrant and undocumented children and youth
Teen parents and families, including single mothers
Families with children and youth who are involved in or transitioning from the foster care, juvenile justice, criminal justice, or special education systems 991
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 33 Desired Results
Fewer children, youth and their families will experience homelessness in Richmond and North Richmond
Increased housing security
Increased access to childcare
Increased food security
Increased access to services by mitigating financial or resource barriers Improved transportation to service locations
Increased access to high-speed internet and Wi-Fi
Decreased rates of poverty in Richmond and North Richmond, particularly for households of color
992
Richmond Fund for Children and Youth – RFP for Direct Services for FYs 2021-2024 34 For children, youth, and families, there were a number of voices across the spectrum of youth residents that reported on how difficult it is to navigate the Richmond and North Richmond environment of youth services. Almost all community engagement activities during the Community Needs Assessment identified the need for support that would assist community members in understanding what resources were out there and whether they qualified to access them. Many of those surveyed said they did not access services because they did not know about them.
Young people expressed the need for help, including coaching or case management, in navigating the turn toward independence or the journey to college success. Case management, or at the very least, guidance from a caring adult, is needed so that children, youth, and their families can understand and access the services available. Parents and guardians need more support with understanding what was offered and how to make the best use of these programs and services for their children. Information and case management was also mentioned as critical to individuals experiencing homelessness that were in need of successfully regaining housing.
This information needs to be in multiple languages with extra effort to reach marginalized children, youth, and their families.
Options for Supported programming
Fund the creation and hosting of an inclusive web resource that can provide robust information on children and youth programming in multiple languages Fund navigation support or case management for children, youth and their families who face complex challenges
Support mentorship and guidance that helps disadvantaged children and youth with understanding and accessing resources that will move them forward on their path toward college and/or employment
Social media strategies and outreach
Provide resources and capacity for guidance and case management in programming for those who most need it
Make sure that staff providing guidance and case management reflects the diversity of the clients

This section also allows you to show the cost effectiveness of your program and demonstrate how you will leverage other funds for the programs you are proposing. The proposed budget should be reflective of what was written in the Proposal Narrative section and your proposed Activities.
The budget section is organized in two sections:
REVENUES

Total RFCY Funding Request
o The total amount of RFCY funding requested in the application. Total Project/Program Budget
o The total budget that supports the entire program or project proposed for funding.
Revenue Status
o The status of revenue sources sought by the applicant (e.g., pending and/or approved) including the current organization’s RFCY request.
