Home My WebLink About2020-067 Social Services FundingDate: July 24, 2020 Report No. 2020-067 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Provide information about social services funding for agencies in Denton BACKGROUND: On June 10, 2020, Council Member Davis requested information about the amount of funding for local, state, and federal agencies that provide social services, public health, and educational services that are available in Denton. This is a very complex analysis with over a hundred social service agencies serving Denton and Denton County with a range of funding from local, state, federal, and private sources. Staff does not have access to all of the funding information. However, staff can provide, as an example only, the funding levels and sources of the 18 agencies that have a funding relationship with the City as budget information is requested as part of grant applications and monitoring. This is intended to show the diversified funding sources of social service agencies that serve the community and is in no way inclusive of all agencies that operate independently and provide services in Denton. DISCUSSION: Social Services Funding Speaking specifically about organizations that provide social services, the City’s FY 2019-20 Budget includes $1.5 million in social service funding. For this report, “social services” refers to agencies that support services in six categories: Children and Youth, Homelessness/Homeless Prevention, Health Care, Mental Health, Seniors, and Intermediaries. The funding that the City provides only represents a portion of the funds available to social service agencies that operate in the City of Denton. These agencies offer several unique services to the community and may also receive Federal, State, City of Denton, Denton County and Private funding. For the purposes of this report, staff identified the 18 social service agencies that currently receive social service grants through the City of Denton, and those service agencies were placed into the six categories listed above. Using operating budget information that is provided to the City by participating agencies through the City’s grant application process, staff has estimated that the 18 social service agencies are funded at the levels as below. Again, this is not inclusive of all the social services funding in the City of Denton and Denton County and is only intended to provide an example of the diversified funding sources that exist to serve the community.

For the 2019-20 program year this coordination between public and private service agencies involves $72,864,036 in Federal, State, Local (City of Denton and Denton County), and Private funding from the City’s grant partners alone. City of Denton Outside Agency Funding Overall in FY 2019-20, the City will provide direct or indirect support to 69 service agencies in the Denton Community. This includes $5.8 million in budgeted funds directly to 58 of these organizations and non-financial contributions, such as staffing, meeting space, and other support to 11 of those agencies.
