THE SAN FRANCISCO FOUNDATION FOR A YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CENTER PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT Resolution No. 3676 APPROVING submission of an application for funding of
$53,000 under a San Francisco Foundation Grant to implement and administer a year-round
Youth Development Center program at Las Deltas, CA011006, North Richmond, and AUTHORIZE
the Executive Director of the Housing Authority to execute all appropriate documents
required by the application guidelines, as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Housing Authority will apply to the San Francisco Foundation for a $53,000 grant
Program.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On January 28, 1993 a Letter of Interest was submitted to the San Francisco
Foundation inquiring about the prospects jor a grant from the Foundation to contract with
Salesian Boys and Girls Club for a year-round education and youth development center at
Las Deltas, CA011006, North Richmond. Following review of the Letter of Interest, the San
Francisco Foundation invited the Housing Authority to submit a formal grant application in
the amount of $53,000.
The Salesian Youth Development Center will focus on building self-esteem,
self-awareness, intercultural awareness, and drug abuse prevention through an emphasis on
the value and need for education. The program will consist of a multi-faceted
recreational program, "Just Say No" Club and a tutorial program. The anticipated interest
and motivation of the youth is expected to lower the current high school drop-out rate by
encouraging youth to stay in school .
Housing Authority staff has requested authorization to submit an application for
$53,000 to the San Francisco Foundation for a Youth Development Center Program, and at its
Regular Meeting on April 19, 1993, the Advisory Housing Commission voted to recommend
adoption of Resolution No. 3676.
