FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 43 <br /> Q10 Please provide any comments or <br /> feedback you have about the consolidation <br /> of the Human Services funding application <br /> with the CCDBG and HOME applications <br /> (i.e., helpful? more complicated? had no <br /> impact?): <br /> �iuraY/eI d 28 SH i.fpod <br /> # Responses Date <br /> 1 I think this consolidation has made completion of the application more complicated,particularly for small non-profits 2/26/2016 4:43 PM <br /> with one-or two-person part-time staffing. <br /> 2 Found the combination application more complicated. 2/26/2016 3:56 PM <br /> 3 For those of us new to the CCDBG and HOME portions,it was a bit confusing.But,shouldn't be a problem. 2/26/2016 3:33 PM <br /> 4 Extremely helpful to streamline the process understandable signature pages be sogin r f 2/25/2016 4:33 PM <br /> 5 putting it on a flash drive made it a little bit more complicated for me.I like the idea of just sending it through the mail 2/25/2016 3:55 PM <br /> or email. <br /> 6 Great to be allowed to add attachments 2/25/2016 2:53 PM <br /> 7 As long as you can decipher what you need to complete vs not complete,its not really an issue.For someone not 2/25/2016 2:25 PM <br /> acquainted with this type of application,I can see where he/she may have issues. <br /> 8 My first year so I can't compare 2/25/2016 2:04 PM <br /> 9 Did not have any impact. 2/25/2016 12:53 PM <br /> 10 I will be applying not this round 2/25/2016 12:39 PM <br /> 11 I felt it was more complicated.There were questions better suited to projects,rather than ongoing programs. 2/25/2016 12:26 PM <br /> 12 Having helped to complete all of these applications in prior years,I think the consolidation had the opportunity to be 2/22/2016 12:50 PM <br /> helpful but instead made the process more complicated.It felt like the applications were combined into one simply by <br /> jamming them together,not by actually consolidating.Things that were asked on the main application were asked <br /> again on the supplemental parts but in a format just different enough to require a rewrite of the answer previously <br /> given. <br /> 13 The consolidation made it difficult to figure out the application.There were so many pieces to skip that it made it 2/21/2016 3:34 PM <br /> difficult to read what we were supposed to fill out.Different components of the application didn't seem to be divided <br /> properly be section.For example,section 3 is Project/Program Information,but it included the Schedule of Positions <br /> and the Conflicts of Interest forms,which were the same for both programs and therefore should have been included <br /> in section 2(Agency Information).Having those pieces under section 3 made it confusing when we needed to repeat <br /> section 3 for our second program. <br /> 14 N/A 2/20/2016 10:04 PM <br /> 15 If the consolidation is the reason for the additional complexity added to the Human Services application,then it made 2/17/2016 6:37 PM <br /> it more complicated--WAY more complicated. <br /> 16 Combining the two applications made it confusing,much more complicated,and a lot more work.Several questions 2/17/2016 1:23 PM <br /> applied to Human Services,but not CDBG/HOME and visa versa.They are two completely different types of funding, <br /> often used for two completely different purposes and it was impossible to fit them both into the same"box."If they <br /> wanted to combine applications,it would have made more sense to have the AHDR fund application(which was much <br /> easier and streamlined)and the CDBG/HOME funds together since they are more similar in nature. <br /> 17 no impact 2/16/2016 9:22 PM <br /> 18 Wasn't a problem for Friends 2/16/2016 6:39 PM <br /> 19 If it would have been explained that we needed to turn it in separately it would have been fine. 2/16/2016 4:06 PM <br /> 19 / 24 <br />
