The committee was composed of two <br /> legislative auditor assistants, my aide, and myself. Following extensive review of all applications, the <br /> committee prepazed written stunmazies of grant submittals for councilmember review and conducted a week- <br /> long site visit inspection and interview of each applicant organization. <br /> Again this year, the committee received applications totalling neazly $1.5 million, well in excess of the <br /> county's $900,000 annual appropriation. The committee is pleased, nonetheless, to apportion its funding <br /> recommendations to substantially sustain funding for critical human services supplied by a broad spectrum of <br /> providers in our community. <br /> In addition, the committee recommends funding support for six new programs addressing disaster response <br /> services (American Red Cross); family violence and spouse abuse (Alternatives to Violence); disabled and <br /> infilmed elderly care (Hilo Adult Day Care); death and bereavement (Hospice of Hilo); and start-up help for a <br /> new substance abuse recovery for women (Rose House). <br /> Funding recommendations appear below, followed by a narrative discussion of the committee's proposals. <br /> NON-PROFIT FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS: 1998-99 <br /> Account No. Oreanization Froeram Recommended Amount <br /> 5471.36 Kona Association for Retarded Citizens Kona Krafts Residential Program $12,000 <br /> 5471.39 Family Crisis Shelter, Inc.
