Greetings!
By now you should be well on your way to reading your assigned human services proposals. You may have noticed that we attempted to assign similar types of programs for you to review, in order to better compare and contrast services for Tempe residents. These are the same agencies that you will interview in mid-January.
Bonus: I have spoken with many of the veteran Agency Review (AR) Volunteers and they would like to extend their tips and tricks to you. Please let me know if you would like to contact a returning Volunteer with questions or concerns regarding the AR process. |

What are the Next Steps - 4?
The City of Tempe does not formally set priorities for human services funding in each of the six service categories (homeless shelter & services, domestic violence shelter & services, programs for the working poor, programs for those with disabilities, youth prevention & programs, senior services).
Traditionally, the AR Volunteers make their funding recommendations based on the human services proposals and the agency interviews. This year, TCC conducted its first annual Human Services Survey in order to capture a community assessment of service category priorities.
The survey was distributed to City of Tempe funded human services agencies, local businesses and community organizations. The intention of the survey is to serve as a tool, one of many, to inform Volunteers in their funding decision process.

In fiscal year (FY) 2009/10 the City of Tempe allocated $995,363 to 34 agencies and 49 programs.
