Dear Kellie:
The -local Federal Emergency Food and Shelter Board met on December 16,
1998. The Allocations Committee reviewed all of the applications of the Senior
Centers carefully.
After much discussion and a review of the criteria -for the dollars allocated to
emergency food and shelter programs, the committee made the decision to
decrease the grant amount for all of the senior centers this year and will not
} provide any funding next year. The Kenai Senior Center will- receive $750.00
for Phase 17 (FY99).
The discussion centered on why Federal Emergency Food and Shelter would.
allocate funds to Senior Citizen Centers and if in fact these funds are used for
emergency food and shelter. The FEMA Allocations Committee discussed at
length the senior program and did not make this decision hastily. The
Committee feels there is a duplication of services in the community and under
the criteria for funding, the senior centers are not in need of emergency funding.
The senior. programs are .important to our community and hopefully this does
. not cause any undue hardship to your center.
Sincerely,
John Alcantra, Chairman
FEMA Board of Directors
