 * Community Services Funding (CSF) Freqently Asked Questions**

// The following topics about the incorporation of CSF grantees into the existing CDC process were addressed at the August 25, 2011 t/a session (information posted for historical value only) //
 * ** How many funding sources might make up one award? ** Generally we are making every effort to have the awards come from ONE funding source only, if an agency has a mixture they will either work under two different funding agreements or perhaps, under one agreement with the two funding sources and associated scopes of work differentiated.


 * **Will Public Services be competing for funding with other County departments? ** No, the Public Services funding is a separately designated amount - a separate funding category - so you will not be competing against County-sponsored or other capital projects. The CSF will be included in the Public Services pot where CDBG, and ESG will be combined with the CSF funds into one amount to be allocated.


 * ** How many applications will we be submitting? ** You will submit one application __per project or program - not one per funding stream__. If funded, you will be completing ONE set of reporting requirements that will be formatted similar to our existing CDBG quarterly report. If you do submit more than one application - you may end up competing against your other application.


 * **Will my agency need to participate in the HMIS? ** If your project will be serving a homeless population, or is primarily a homeless prevention program ,you will be required to assess and enter the HMIS data for those homeless clients.
