Notice of Funding Opportunity for 2024 Measure K Grants Opens November 1st, 2023

Open to all Community Based Organizations (CBOs)

With this Board’s approval, staff intends to develop and implement a streamlined notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) process to obtain applications for 2024 Measure K grants (2024 Measure K Grants) within Board approved priority areas (described below).

 

 

The County Executive’s office staff will coordinate the NOFO process and evaluate proposals to ensure that minimum qualifications are met. Departmental staff in coordination with County Executive Office’s staff, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in their respective areas, will evaluate responses to the technical proposal and provide a total score for each grant application. County staff will submit recommendations to the Board for approval of individual grants. The anticipated timeline for this process is further outlined below:

 

•  Measure K NOFO release on November 1, 2023

• Measure K NOFO Preproposal Conference on November 3, 2023

• Measure K NOFO Technical Support Workshop on November 14, 2023

• Measure K NOFO closes on January 05, 2024 – deadline to submit applications

• Evaluations of Measure K NOFO January 8, 2024 – February 2, 2024

• Measure K Grant recommendation and selection process begins on February 7, 2024

• Measure K Grant recommendations submitted for Board review and approval on March 12, 2024

• Measure K finalize proposed grant agreements and final Board approval March 13, 2024 – June 15, 2024

 

Provide direction to the County Executive regarding allocation of funding for 2024 Measure K Grants across Priority Areas pending review of 2024 Measure K Grant applications.

In connection with the separate Board item to approve the NOFO process and in anticipation that the County will be receiving grant applications within the Board-approved Priority Areas, staff request that the Board provide direction regarding the allocation of Measure K funding across the Priority Areas.

 

Staff recommends that the available funding be allocated as:

40 percent for Children, Families and Seniors,

40 percent for Housing and Homelessness, and

20 percent for Emergency Preparedness.

 

Ultimate allocation levels will be subject to Board review and approval pending receipt of applications in connection with the NOFO process.

 

The FY 2024-25 Recommended Budget is estimated to include approximately $110 million in Measure K revenue. Expenditures related to ongoing initiatives and priority area Measure K grant allocations will be fully funded by Measure K revenue with no impact to the General Fund. The Board of Supervisors will approve a detailed Measure K budget for FY 2024-25 in March 2024, which will include funds for the 2024 Measure K Grants.
