The City of Tigard may, upon occasion, receive requests from social service

to Tigard residents. This policy provides the framework within which
allocation of funds will be made by the City Council.
1. The amount available for distribution each fiscal year will be included

case shall the allocation for the Residential Service Agency Emergency
Fund exceed five percent of the total allocated for social service
grants.
2. The amount designated for the Residential Service Agency Emergency
Fund shall be included in the Social Service Agency funding so that the
Social Service Agency Funding limit is not exceeded.
3. Any appropriation in the Residential Service Agency Emergency Fund
remaining at the end of the Fiscal year shall be rolled into the General
Fund Ending Fund Balance.
4. Agencies requesting funds shall demonstrate the following:
a. The request meets an unmet or growing need to support basic
services for Tigard residents (food, shelter, clothing).
b. The request is not to fund on-going operation or maintenance of
the agency or program facilities.
c. The request does not meet the criteria for the City's Social
Services program.
d. The agency meets the reporting requirements as Social Services
Grant recipients.
