Background Summary:
At the direction of the Mayor and City Council, City staff and the Human Service Committee developed a
"Specific Supplemental Information" for City of Auburn human services grant application process using
the "Results-Based Accountability Model". The primary purpose of this supplemental information to the
South King County joint human services grant application is to identify the community results that the City
of Auburn wants to achieve through its award of grants to human service providers.
These results include, as a pre-requisite to the receipt of City of Auburn funds, that human service
providers participate in the design and development of a One-Stop Center in Auburn.
The "Supplemental Information" document outlines several "procedural results" or efficiencies that the
City would like to achieve through the development of the One-Stop Center such as: standardized in-take
forms, opportunities for multi-agency teamwork, and integrated management and information systems.
Community results are broken into five categories: 1) Abused and neglected children; 2) Victims of
domestic and sexual assault; 3) Poverty reduction; 4) Substance abuse; and 5) Health care. Each
category has several specific results that the City would like to achieve. The "Supplemental Information"
document includes performance indicators and baseline data that the City may use to evaluate progress
toward achieving the desired community results.

Agenda Subject: Resolution No. 4012
Date: April 1 0, 2006
The "Supplemental Information" document explains that it is not the City's intent to exclude any previously
funded agency from future consideration for a human service grant. The language in the document was
intentionally drafted to be broad enough to include all the programs and activities currently funded by the
City. However, the document states that service providers are expected to support the achievement of
the community results outlined in the document along with their participation in the One-Stop Center.
On April 10, 2006 representatives of the Human Service Committee presented the supplemental
application to the Planning and Community Development (PCD) Committee. In the discussion that
followed, the PCD Committee made a few revisions to the application document. The PCD Committee
then moved to recommend the Council pass the resolution to accept the supplemental application
following review by the Finance Committee. This agenda item will therefore be reviewed by the Finance
Committee on April 17, 2006.
Once approved by the City Council, the "Supplemental Information" document will be released to local
human service providers. If approved by the City Council at the April1ih, 2006 meeting, then the
deadline for human service grant applications will be June 30,2006

2007-2008 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Public Service Funds
City of Auburn's Supplemental Instructions for the
PY2007-2008 Human Service Grant Application
A. Introduction
Applications submitted to the City of Auburn for human service grants must also include
information requested in these "Supplemental Instructions". The City will consider applications
that do not include the information requested in these Supplemental Instructions as incomplete
and non-responsive. Incomplete applications will not be considered for funding. These
Supplemental Instructions outline the additional information that the City will request for its
consideration of a grant for human services.
B: PY2007-2008 Supplemental Application Form:
Agencies seeking human service grants from the City of Auburn must complete the
attached "Supplemental Grant Application" form. The application form will ask grant applicants
to mark the appropriate statement that best describes the results the Agency will help accomplish.
Agencies must provide some additional information to the narrative portion of their grant
application. Finally, grant applicants will need to acknowledge that their Agency will participate
in the design and development of Auburn's proposed One-Stop Center.
The PY2007-2008 Supplemental Application is the City of Auburn's first year to use
"Results-Based Accountability" (RBA) in its consideration of human service grants. The City
realizes that the transition to RBA is a significant one and that it will take several years for the
full benefits to be realized. Making this transition to RBA is not expected to initially result in the
exclusion of agencies and programs that the City of Auburn has supported in the past. However,
the City does expect that all agencies and programs that receive City funding from this point
forward will support the goals ofRBA, tailor their efforts to work cooperatively towards these
goals, and work cooperatively on the planning for a one-stop, multi-service center in Auburn. As
such, the application form has been revised to allow your agency to demonstrate understanding
and support for these initiatives.
C. One-Stop Center: Background Information
The following information provides some background for Auburn's proposed One-Stop
Center. The results ofthe One-Stop Center will generally fall into two categories: procedural
results and programmatic results. The following outlines some ofthe procedural results that the
City of Auburn hopes to achieve through the proposed One-Stop Center. It also explains why the
City of Auburn is considering grant applications for programs that will eventually be provided
from a facility that is not yet built.
Towards a Comprehensive Human Service Deliverv System:
The term "human service system" is something of a misnomer. In most cases, the
delivery of human services is not a system but a patchwork of separate programs at multiple sites
throughout King County. While most of these programs strive to reintegrate their clientele into
the economic mainstream and often serve the same populations, they work with little direct
interaction, sharing of information or coordination. The City of Auburn wants to build
connections between these different programs so that they function as a "group of interacting,
interrelated, or interdependent elements forming or regarded as a collective entity" - which is the
definition of a "system".
The collocation of human services at one site is a critical step toward developing a
comprehensive human service delivery system. The benefits of the collocation of human services
include improved formal and informal communications between clients and service providers. It
facilitates client-related processes by simplifying access to programs and services. It creates
bonds between staff from different organizations. Collocating human service providers at one
location helps staff understand how different programs contribute to large community goals. It
results in a more cost-effective, efficient response to the needs of Auburn residents while, at the
same time, increasing the success of reducing poverty, or at least the ill-effects of poverty, in
Auburn.
Auburn's Human Service Inteeration Strateev:
The City of Auburn is currently working with local service providers to design and
develop a site where multiple human service programs can be provided in an integrated manner.
In addition to achieving the programmatic results described in latter sections of this Supplemental
Instructions, the City's proposed One-Stop Center will likewise achieve the following procedural
results:
.
Integrating client intake and assessment procedures: Collocation is one step in a
larger effort to simplify and streamline client processes. Auburn's One-Stop
Center will use a standardized in-take form to determine the need for a wide
range of programs and services.
.
Integrating staff from multiple organizations and programs into teams: One of
the advantages of collocation is the ease by which staff from multiple agencies
can work together. Auburn's One-Stop Center will create opportunities for multi-
disciplinary teams of service providers to provide a coordinated and effective
response to client needs.
.
Integrating a wider range of local service providers: Each agency brings with it
an assortment of private, non-profit, community-based, faith-based and for-profit
organizations that are involved in the planning and delivery of a full range of
human services. By causing all these agencies to work together, Auburn's One-
Stop Center will increase the number of organizations providing core and
supportive human services.
.
Integrating information and information systems: Auburn's One-Stop Center
creates the opportunity to develop an automated eligibility and case management
system. This system could interface with the information needs of each agency
as well as providing information about available resources and services that
benefit the client.
.
Integrated monitoring and evaluation toward community results: The overall
goal of Auburn's One-Stop Center is to improve the quality of life of Auburn
residents. Participating agencies will be able to collectively monitor and evaluate
their impact on the lives of Auburn residents.
Creatine the Demand for a One-Stop Center:
Even though Auburn's proposed One-Stop Center is not yet developed, the City of
Auburn is making participation in the design and development of a the proposed One-Stop Center
a pre-requisite to its consideration for a human service grant. In this way, human service
Page 3 of 16
providers will move toward creating the agency interactions necessary for the One-Stop Center to
become a reality. One of the major goals of the Auburn's proposed One-Stop Center is to create
collaborative relationships among Auburn's human service providers that will evolve into the
integration of operational procedures. A 'service delivery continuum' exists, either formally or
informally, that places interactions between programs into the following categories:
Communication> Cooperation> Coordination> Collaboration> Integration> Consolidation
Auburn's goal is to create interactions that are further to the right of the continuum where greater
collaboration and integration occurs. In this way, the City serves as a catalyst generating the
desire and need for the integration of human services that a One-Stop Center offers.
D. Results-Based Accountability Model:
Page 4 of 16
The City of Auburn is requesting proposals to achieve the following results within the
areas listed below. Population performance indicators will be applied to assess the overall
success of the effort and the value of ongoing support. Program performance indicators will be
utilized to determine the effectiveness of individual programs.
Overall Result:
One-Stop Center
The City of Auburn will fund human service providers who participate in the design,
development and operation of a One-Stop Center in Auburn and the efficient, collaborative and
integrated delivery of services it offers. Agencies who agree to participate in the design and
development of a One-Stop Center in Auburn may apply for funding to accomplish one or more
of the following community results:
.
Abused and Neelected Children: The City of Auburn will fund human service providers
that increase supportive services to children who are neglected and abused, specifically the
number of children who are victims of on-going and repeated neglect and abuse, within the
city of Auburn by 15% over the next three (3) years.
.
Victims of Domestic and Sexual Assault: The City of Auburn will fund human service
providers that increase the number of Auburn residents, who are victims of domestic
violence, that make the transition to a safe environment and self-determining lifestyle by 15%
within the next three (3) years.
.
Poverty Reduction: The City of Auburn will fund human service providers who increase
the number of Auburn residents no longer living in poverty by 15% within the next three (3)
years.
.
Substance Abuse: The City of Auburn will fund human service providers to develop
strategies that increase the successful completion of treatment programs by Auburn residents
who have serious behavioral and health problems due to substance abuse and chemical
dependency by 15% within a three (3) year period.
.
Physically and Mentally Fit: The City of Auburn will fund human service providers that
increase the availability, accessibility and use of health care to its low income residents by
15% within a three (3) year period.
E. One-Stop Center: Specific Community Results:
Abused and Nee:lected Children
The City of Auburn has zero-tolerance for chronic child abuse and neglect. It wants service
providers to participate in the development and operation of a One-Stop Center that has as part of
its mission efficient and collaborative delivery of services and activities designed to reduce the
number of abused and neglected children in Auburn. Agencies selected for funding is predicated
on their acceptance of the following convictions:
The ability of families to raise their children is inextricably linked to the support they
receive in the neighborhoods and communities in which they live.
The Auburn community has resources to support families and provide children a safe
environment where they can thrive and grow.
- Collaboration among Auburn service providers is essential to achieve the mutual goal
of reducing chronic abuse and neglect of children.
Results the City wants to achieve:
The City of Auburn's initiative to reduce the chronic abuse and neglect of children focuses on
achieving the following five results:
1. Reduce the number and rate of children placed away from their birth families.
2. Keep children in school and striving for academic success by decreasing truancy.
3. Active, accessible and visible relationships among neighborhood and community resources,
including resources available through faith based communities, to increase the availability of
extended family support systems.
4. Information on how to access programs and services to prevent and/or stop the chronic abuse
and neglect of children is readily available throughout the Auburn community.
5. Linkages for parents to get the financial assistance, job training, employment and/or childcare
services they need to help alleviate the stress of living in poverty.
6 A Community Partnership Task Force that meets regularly to assist community leaders in
implementing and evaluating these strategies and monitor efforts to reduce the chronic abuse
and neglect of children in Auburn.
Performance Indicators
Impact on any of the following performance indicators will help achieve the desired results:
.
Number of police reports of misdemeanor and felony child abuse and neglect
Number of police incidence reports for juvenile runaways
Number of truancy petitions filed by the Auburn School District
Number of out-of-home placements reported by Child Protective Services (CPS)
Number of confirmed CPS reports in Auburn
.

Indications of chronic neglect and abuse of
children appear in several venues throughout
the Auburn community. The baseline data
on the right represents a composite score of
the following indicators: arrest for
misdemeanor and felony child abuse and
neglect, incidence of runaway youth,
BECCA petitions for truancy and foster-care
placements. The actual number of each
indicator was converted to number of incidences per 1,000 children under the age of 17 years. In
this way, the increase of incidences caused by population growth is neutralized. These pro-rated
incidences per 1,000 children were then combined to create a sum total or composite score.

Turning the Curve:
2010
The solid line indicates the trend if no
additional action is taken. The
downward or declining trend was
caused by a reduction in petitions for
truancy in Year 2004 compared to
Year 2002. During the same period of
time, the number of arrest for child
abuse and neglect increased while the
incidence of runaway youth and
foster-care placements remained
relatively unchanged. The broken line
represents existing data up to Year
2004 and then the desired outcome in
Year 2010 assuming initiatives to
reduce child abuse and neglect are
successful.
The City of Auburn wants service providers to collaboratively organize a community-
based intervention strategy that protects victims of domestic violence from harm and
supports their right to self-determination. Toward this end, the City request service
providers participate in the development and operation of a One-Stop Center that has as
part of its mission the efficient and collaborative delivery of services and activities
designed to reduce domestic violence. Agencies selected for funding is predicated on
their acceptance of the following convictions:
The Auburn community has resources available for the community to intervene to
protect and assist victims of domestic and sexual violence.
Intensive police, court and community collaboration is necessary to mobilize these
resources and address situations of chronic and dangerous domestic violence.
Written protocols among service providers, particularly between service providers
and the City of Auburn's DV Advocate, that assures collaboration among all service
providers that respond to victims of domestic violence.
Page 6 of 16
Results the City wants to achieve:
I. Community-based intervention that provides victims safety from physical, emotional,
financial and psychological harm, regardless of whether a victim is choosing to
continue in a relationship with the abusive partner.
2 A collaborative and comprehensive intervention strategy for victims of domestic
violence that is culturally sensitive and bilingual.
3. Abusers are held accountable for their abusive behavior by imposing swift,
appropriate, consistent, foreseeable and commensurate consequences.
4. Service providers across all systems of support and protection actively participate in
Auburn's DV Task Force and other coalitions dedicated to improving the Auburn's
response to domestic violence.
5. Information on how to access programs and services to prevent and/or stop domestic
violence is readily available throughout the Auburn community.
6. Auburn's faith-based community is a partner in its intervention strategy and actively
participates in training, prevention and mobilization of community resources.
7. Prevention and public education programs for all age levels but particularly
educational programs that focus on middle school youth and young men.
Performance Indicators
The following performance indicators will determine progress toward desired results:
· Reduction in the number of cases reviewed by the City of Auburn's Legal Department for
offenses involving domestic violence.
· Reduction in the number of people who are victims of domestic violence more than once.
· Reduction in the number of violations of protection and no-contact orders.
In Year 2001 the Police Department reported 912 incidences of domestic violence. In Year 2004
the Police Department reports 1,047 incidences of domestic violence, an increase of 6% per year.
Although Auburn's population increased during the same period of time, Auburn's DV rate per
100 people increased at a faster
rate. Auburns DV rate in Year
2001 was 2.07 victims per 100
people. The DV rate increased
to 2.36 per 100 people by the
Year 2004. If this rate of
increase continues, then by the
year 2010 Police Department
reports will likely indict over
1,675 cases of domestic
violence each year or roughly
five cases per day.

two lines is the theoretical number of victims who successfully make the transition to a safe
environment and self-determining lifestyle.
Poverty Reduction
The City of Auburn wants to use a "systems" approach when designing its human service
programs. Systems approach, in this case, refers to mapping out the connection between
the need for human services and its roots causes - particularly poverty.
Auburn's resulting "poverty reduction strategy" is to combine employment and training
programs to human service programs and incorporate these programs into the City's
overall economic development strategy. The proposed One-Stop Center sets the stage for
collaborative efforts for workforce development and poverty reduction strategies.
Agencies selected for funding is predicated on their acceptance of the following
convictions:
Poverty is a common denominator among human service needs that is likewise a
labor market issue that adversely affects the Auburn economy.
The Auburn community has resources, or at least opportunities, that promote poverty
reduction through workforce and economic development.
Collaboration among Auburn service providers is essential to achieving the mutual
goal of reducing poverty and its adverse human service and economic impacts.
Results the City wants to achieve:
1. People who live in poverty will not go hungry.
2. Auburn has a continuum of care for its residents who become homeless that includes
emergency shelters, transitional housing and supportive housing along with
supportive services that prevent homelessness.
3. A community-based development organization (CBDO), that meets the requirements
of the Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for receipt of Community
Development Block Grant, to carry out certain activities that reduce poverty
specifically in Auburn by combining workforce development and human services.
4. Formation ofa Workforce Investment Board that serves Auburn by promoting
collaboration among service providers, employers, educators and residents for the
purpose of placing Auburn residents injobs located in Auburn.
5. A periodic inventory and analysis of potential linkages and gaps between the (a)
employment needs of all the major businesses that are located in Auburn, (b) human
service providers that provide opportunities for workforce development, and (c)
educational and vocational training available in Auburn.
6. Employment training programs that likewise address some of Auburn's unmet needs
such as minor home repairs, beautification of low-income neighborhoods, graffiti
removal, abatement of public nuisances such as the removal of junk and debris, and
response to emergency disasters such as fires, floods, and landslides.
7. Public transportation and child care services so that low-income Auburn residents can
access good-paying jobs at nonstandard times - such as weekends and evenings.
Page 8 of 16
Performance Indicators
The City's overall goal is to reduce Auburn's poverty rate by increasing the number of Auburn
residents who successfully make the transition out of poverty. Progress toward this end includes
a mix of economic development and human service indicators. The following performance
indicators will determine progress toward desired results:
.
Increase in the number of jobs, particularly livable wage jobs, located in Auburn.
Increase in the number of Auburn residents who work in Auburn.
Increase in the educational attainment of Auburn's adult labor force.
Increase in the number of children enrolled in Headstart and preschool.
Improved delivery of human services.

Baseline Performance
The poverty threshold assumes that families who spend a third or more of their income on four
basic and essential food groups, as determined by the Dept. of Agriculture, are living in poverty.
The poverty threshold amount varies by family size and composition. It does not vary
geographically and the amounts are updated annually by using the Consumer Price Index. In the
Year 2005, the poverty threshold for an individual was $9,570, for two persons it was $12,830
and for a four person household it was $19,350 per year. In the year 2000 approximately 12.6%
of Auburn's population lived in poverty. The estimated poverty rate for 2010 is approximately
12% of Auburn population will live in poverty by the year 2010.
Turning the Curve:
The solid line in the above chart represents Auburn's current and project poverty rate assuming no
action is taken. The broken line represents Auburn's existing poverty rate up to Year 2006 and
then the desired outcome by the Year 2010 assuming initiatives to reduce poverty are successful.
The difference between the
two lines is the theoretical
number of people who
successfully make the
transition out of poverty. By
the year 2010, Auburn's
population will be
approximately 63,000 people.
If the poverty rate is 12%,
then nearly 9,000 Auburn
residents will live in poverty.

Substance Abuse
The City of Auburn recognizes substance abuse, among other factors, as a bellwether of
Auburn's physical and mental health. The proposed One-Stop Center sets the stage for a
collaborative effort to develop a citywide strategy that supports the community efforts to
address the harm and injury caused by substance abuse in Auburn. Agencies selected for
funding is predicated on their acceptance of the following convictions:
Problematic drug and alcohol use can be influenced by a range of factors and that,
not only individuals, but family, community and the city environment can likewise
influence drug behavior.
The Auburn community is trying to address the impacts of drug and alcohol abuse.
Collaboration among Auburn service providers is essential to achieving the mutual
goal of reducing or eliminating drug and alcohol abuse.
Results the City wants to achieve:
1. Formation of the Auburn Substance Abuse Task Force to develop and monitor a
community "Action Plan" that reflects the involvement and commitment of the
community to reduce or eliminate drug and alcohol abuse.
2. A periodic inventory and report of local resources, activities and programs currently
available to address drug and alcohol abuse
3. Collect, monitor and distribute local data regarding trends of drug and alcohol abuse
in Auburn, including, but not limited to, information about binge drinking, drunken
driving and alcohoVdrug related deaths.
4. Dissemination of information regarding treatment programs and family support
groups through faith-based organizations, schools and other service providers.
5. Community celebrations aimed to mobilize community support of programs and
activities to discourage drug and alcohol abuse, binge drinking and drunk driving.
Performance Indicators
The following performance indicators will be combined to create a composite score per 1,000
residents to monitor trends relative to the community's impact to reduce drug and alcohol abuse.
· Number of adults and teens who report binge drinking.
· Incidences of crime involving drunk driving, disorderly conduct and violation of laws
regarding controlled substances.
· Drug and alcohol related deaths.
· The number of faith-based organizations, civic groups, employers and service providers
that offer family support groups and number of people who participate in these groups.
Baseline Performance
The City of Auburn's intent is to develop a community-wide strategy that will reduce the harm
caused by drug and alcohol abuse by supporting the successful treatment of people in recovery
programs. Although ample data exist regarding the impact of drug and alcohol abuse,
Page 10 of 16
information about the number and availability of recovery programs and services that is unique to
Auburn is not readily available. For this reason, the desired result is to gather information that
identifies the recovery and supportive services available in Auburn, estimated number of people
who participate in these programs and potential linkages between programs. This data will
enable creating strategies to support and expand supportive services to people recovering from
drug and alcohol abuse.
Turning the Curve:
During the process of gathering information about recovery and supportive services to people and
their families suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, efforts can begin to organize and mobilize
community resources. The desired results of organizing a community task force and distributing
information is the start of developing more effective strategies that will eventually lead to a
reduction of drug and alcohol abuse.
Physically and Mentally Fit
Auburn has a number of individuals and families who are unable to pay for the high cost
of health care because they lack a health insurance policy that partially or fully covers the
cost of medical procedures and prescriptions. At the same, Auburn has a large and
growing health care industry within its city limits. It is the City of Auburn's intent to
bridge the gap between the health care available in Auburn and those residents who need
health care but can not afford it. Collaboration among Auburn service providers is
essential to achieving this goal.
Results the City wants to achieve:
1. Auburn's children under the age of 19 years will have access to health care, including
immunizations from contagious diseases.
2. Auburn babies and children are healthy, have adequate nutrition and prenatal care.
3. The number of sites within Auburn where low-income residents can access health
care will continue to increase.
4. Reduction in emergency room visits because it is an indication that the availability
and accessibility of health care to low income residents is improving.
5. Better dissemination of information about the availability of health care to low-
income residents throughout the Auburn community.
Baseline Performance:
Lack of health insurance is a major barrier to obtaining needed and preventive health care.
Uninsured individuals were less likely to get preventive care and needed screenings, increasing
the likelihood of morbidity and mortality. They are also less likely to seek needed medical care
due to cost. In the Auburn public health planning area, approximately 12.4% of adults report they
did not see a doctor in the past year due to cost. Furthermore, approximately 16.1 % of the adult
population in the Auburn public health planning area does not have health insurance.
Several indicators will be used to measure the availability of health care in Auburn. For instance,
low birth weight is an indicator of prenatal care. Infants born to mothers under age 18 have
