Issue Detail: On October 19, 2021, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-0313, which authorized the City Manager or City Manager’s designee to accept $112.2 million of American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funding; establish the ARPARF (Fund 1003); and allocate $112.2 million of ARPA funds to provide government services and budget the resulting available resources in the ARPARF to assist with the recovery and reopening resulting from the impacts of COVID-19.

In February 2022, the City Council approved the FY2021/22 Midyear Budget Report along with the mayor’s framework allocating an additional $5.5 million for Youth Workforce Development. (Resolution No. 2022-0062). The Youth- and Family-Serving Community-Based Organizations Stabilization Fund, later renamed the “Resiliency Fund”, was established (I02180913) with an ongoing commitment and initial allocation of $300,000.

In June 2022, Council adopted the Workforce Development Framework and Spending Plan (Resolution No. 2022-0169) which earmarked an additional $300,000 to the Resiliency Fund for youth workforce providers.

On November 14, 2022, the Office of Youth Development (OYD) released the Youth Serving Organizational Resiliency Fund Request for Applications (RFA). The purpose of the RFA was to solicit proposals from community-based organizations who provide direct services to children or youth living or going to school in priority neighborhoods within Sacramento city limits, are interested in strengthening their organizational capacity, as well as the broader youth-serving ecosystem by participating in the Resiliency Fund grant program and whose organizational mission and vision aligns with the Citywide Youth Development Plan.

OYD recruited a neutral, multi-disciplinary grant advisory panel who scored 27 applications against the rubric published in the RFA. To support an enriching peer-to-peer learning exchange among the grantee cohort, City staff then reviewed applicant details including priority neighborhoods served, budget size, and programmatic focus. Fifteen organizations were selected for the inaugural cohort, representing various organizational sizes, life stages, and youth-serving focus areas including workforce development, mental wellness, academic support, violence prevention and more (Exhibit A - List of Resiliency Fund Grantees).

The Resiliency Fund grant program runs from April 2023 - April 2025 and provides grantees with a suite of resources, including opportunities to engage in deep work to strengthen and enhance their organizational resiliency and build a community of practice amongst the grantee cohort. Grantees will receive general operating support grants based on their organizational budget size. In addition to general operating support, grantees will receive individual and cohort-based capacity building support and services valued up to approximately $35,000 per grantee. Grantees are required to spend between 5-7 hours on grant-related activities per month.

According to research, one hour of instructor-led training takes an average of 43 hours of development time. OYD does not have sufficient staff capacity to offer the extensive capacity building and technical assistance required by this program. As a result, on January 20, 2023, OYD released the Resiliency Fund: Administration, Capacity Building, And Technical Assistance Support - Request for Qualifications (RFQ #Q2302 001121001) to solicit statements of qualifications for the role of lead agency to support the capacity building activities and administration of the grant

program, and to build a pool of subconsultants representing various capacity building specializations. OYD recruited a neutral, multi-disciplinary panel who reviewed and ranked statements of qualifications against the criteria outlined in the RFQ. At the end of this process, the Center for Nonprofit Management (CNM) was selected for the lead agency role.

Policy Considerations: This report is consistent with implementation of the Council- approved Citywide Youth Development Plan & Framework for Children and Youth Programs, Framework for Inclusive Economic & Community Development, and the Resolution Defining the City of Sacramento’s Public Safety Services [to include] Youth-Centered Prevention Services.

Economic Impacts: Vast research shows that investing early in the healthy development of young people can have long-term positive impacts both on an individual’s future outcomes and on the public in the form of upstream savings and a broader, more civically engaged tax base.

Environmental Considerations: None.

Sustainability: Not applicable.

Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.

Rationale for Recommendation: The process for designing the Resiliency Fund grant program included community member engagement and scholarly research. OYD gathered input from nearly 100 local CBOs, through a listening session and survey. The insights gleaned were instrumental in the development of Resiliency Fund goals and overall structure of the program. Core insights from this research are reflected in an analysis of one of the country’s largest organizational capacity- building initiatives, which concluded that there is “clear evidence that capacity-building efforts increase capacity in five critical areas” organizational development, program development, revenue development, leadership development, and community engagement. The services observed in this research mirrors those offered through the Resiliency Fund grant program: group training, customized technical assistance, and financial awards.

Professional Services Agreement: Center for Nonprofit Management (CNM) Since 1978, Southern California Center for Nonprofit Management’s (CNM) mission has been to foster thriving communities by ensuring that nonprofit organizations have the knowledge, skills and resources they need to achieve their missions, by offering comprehensive management support and capacity building services.

CNM designs and delivers customizable training using both asset-based learning and action learning methodologies, all based on best practices informed by academic research and practice. CNM is versed in data collection and analysis, and their work is guided by logic models with strong deadlines for delivery, tracking, and evaluation of a project and its outcomes. CNM’s capacity building approach is iterative, responsive, self-reflective, and collaborative.

CNM serves almost 135,000 nonprofit professionals annually and nearly 90% of their services committed to

organizations serving vulnerable communities facing long standing challenges such as higher than average levels of poverty and systemic racism. CNM incorporates a DEI lens in their methodology to inform systemic changes in organizations for maximum impact on communities. CNM has been deeply engaged, both at a policy and grassroots level, in examining systemic issues fueled by a lack of access to resources and institutional racism.

When working with clients in the Youth Development field, CNM advocates for trauma-informed methodologies and integrating youth voice, principles that align with the City’s Youth Plan. CNM works with organizations that serve transition-aged youth, system-impacted youth, and youth experiencing homelessness.

Given the breadth and depth of their background and experience particularly in the critical areas of capacity building, CNM received the highest average score from the review panel. Some panelists expressed a concern with CNM not being locally based. However, subconsultants that were added to the pool created through this RFQ,
are required to be Sacramento based with demonstrated
connections to priority neighborhoods. CNM will work with these subconsultants, particularly to support cohort-based capacity building activities and building the community of practice amongst the grantee cohort.

Staff recommends approving the Professional Services Agreement (Exhibit B) to engage CNM as the lead agency for the Resiliency Fund grant program to include issuing and tracking general operating support awards to grantees, providing grantees with capacity building and technical assistance services, and supporting the City with administration and oversight of the program.

Supplemental Resources for Resiliency Fund
During the design of the Resiliency Fund grant program a need for additional resources was identified - beyond the initial $600,000 allocation - to build and deploy a grant program that aligns with best practices in capacity building and organizational development and is truly responsive to the organizational needs of local youth-serving community partners and ultimately the young people they serve. Staff has identified additional funding from other youth projects to support the Resiliency Fund.

Financial Considerations: The funds being recommended are currently available for reallocation.

This report seeks approval to transfer $480,000 from the available fund balance of the ARPA Reinvestment Fund (Fund 1003) to the ARPA Youth Workforce Training Project (I02612020), $185,299 (Measure U Fund, Fund 2401) from the Children and Youth Services Program (I02001830) to the ARPA Youth Workforce Training Project (I02612020), and $600,000 (Measure U Fund, Fund 2401) from the FY2021/22 Mayor/Council Economic Development Priorities Project (I02180910) to the ARPA Youth Workforce Training Project (I02612020) for a total of $1,265,299.

Sufficient funding is available in the applicable project budgets and available fund balances to support the recommended budgetary transfers.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Given the complexity of the solicitation design (lead agency/subconsultant structure within a single procurement) the LBE participation requirement was waived. Eligible respondents received an LBE incentive of 5% (5 points) added to their overall
