The project has two major components, which is advancing a group called the Friends of West Baltimore Squares, and undertaking historic survey, research, and designation in West Baltimore. 68 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/22/2012 DHCD ­ cont'd Friends of West Baltimore Squares is modeled after successful friends groups in Patterson Park and Druid Hill Park. The Friends of West Baltimore Squares is a program to form a critical mass of residents and others to organize programs and neighborhood improvements in and around five historic squares in West Baltimore (Franklin Square, Harlem Park, Lafayette Square, Perkins Square, and Union Square). Baltimore Heritage formed the group in the Spring of 2011 in partnership with the Parks and People Foundation. There are community leaders from all of the five squares actively involved and the group has organized walking tours, plant give-aways, and an archeology dig. Events planned for 2012 include additional neighborhood tours, a concert in one of the parks, and outreach regarding existing and planned community gardens. The list of active participants has grown to over 300 since inception. Of the nearly 250 neighborhoods in Baltimore, the historic African American neighborhoods in West Baltimore are perhaps the least well documented. The Historic Research and Designation, with support from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Maryland State Highway Administration, will compile the histories of signature buildings and public spaces in this target area. The work will include filing Maryland Inventory of Historic Places forms, filing nominations to the National Register of Historic Places, so that homeowners and commercial building owners can access historic tax credit incentives for rehabilitation work. In addition, the historic information that has been gathered will be used to to produce online and print pieces to promote the historic assets of the communities. 69 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/22/2012 DHCD ­ cont'd 16.

The South Baltimore Learning Center now has 55 classrooms and administrative computers (with plans to add six more with the EDP expansion), a computer lab, multiple software packages/applications for instruction, database tracking and administrative purposes, and a very complicated Federal E-rate initiative, which allows for up to 90% free Internet Access.

The Career and Employability Counselor (CEC) has become integral to the success of the learners, many of whom are underemployed/unemployed. The focus of this position is to teach concepts of career planning, employability and life skills development through instruction, counseling and advising for learners.

South Baltimore Learning Center is now in its 20th year, and what began as a neighborhood based initiative providing tutoring to adults with a $60,000 budget now serves over 1,000 adults each year offering a variety of services with a budget over $1 million.

The necessary staffing and infrastructure to grow its service capacity, support the learners in meeting their goals, and produce consistently good organizational outcomes has been put into place.

The MOHS has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) by posting the request on the MOHS website on January 12, 2012 to select a new provider to administer the HUD-Shelter Plus Care grant. The RFQ closed on February 3, 2012. A new provider will be selected by February 17, 2012. The contract for that vendor will need to be developed and approved by the Board. To avoid delinquency in rental payments for the homeless tenants the MOHS is requesting to pay the lease amounts through April 30, 2012. 90 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/22/2012 Mayor's Office of Human Services ­ cont'd On June 8, 2011, the Board approved a grant agreement (Contract #34443) with the PAA in the amount of $557,232.00. The grant agreement from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provided Shelter Plus Care funding for the Federal Fiscal Year 2010. The funds were designated to be used to house homeless individuals through programs administered by the PAA. On October 5, 2011, the Mayor's Office of Human Services notified the PAA that the agreements would be terminated for convenience, as defined in Section X -- Termination, Part A of the grant agreements. HUD was notified and has given approval of the Mayor's Office of Human Services' actions to terminate the grants with the PAA. An amendment to the grant from HUD will be submitted to the Board at a later date. As a result of the termination of the agreements, the Mayor's Office of Human Services must use the Shelter Plus Care funds to directly make rental payments on behalf of 30 formerly homeless individuals who were assisted under Contract #34443. These payments will be made to valid City of Baltimore vendors/landlords. Please note the PAA is included as a vendor/landlord, because the payments to the PAA are for rental units that the PAA owns directly as opposed to rental units that were administered by the PAA through the previous agreements. Rental units are owned by different vendors/landlords, and actual payments to PAA will not be executed until the Mayor's Office of Human Services has determined that PAA has met all the conditions of the termination as outlined in the termination.
