WHEREAS, the Hennepin County 1990 proposed budget eliminates funding for
the H.O.M.E. program which provides critical service to seniors and

WHEREAS, the Hennepin County 1990 proposed budget eliminates all funding
for community planning and coordination and citizen participation process
to the Human Services Councils including South Hennepin Human Services
Council (SHHSC), and
WHEREAS, elimination of these funds will significantly impair the funciton
of SHHSC which, through a joint powers agreement between Eden Prairie,
Bloomington, Edina, and Richfield, is charged with the responsibility of
human services planning and coordination between and among these four
cities, and
WHEREAS, elimination of these funds will totally dissolve the formal
process for solicitation of citizen input as to guidelines to determine
priorities in area human service funding, and
WHEREAS, the South Hennepin Human Services Council has in the past shown
itself to play an important and beneficial role in human services
development and delivery such as:
Emergency Assistance Program
Housing Assistance Program
Comprehensive Study of Human Services in South Hennepin
South Hennepin Family and Childrens Service
THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City of Eden Prairie requests that the
Hennepin County Commissioners continue to appropriate the level of funding
necesssary to maintain the H.O.M.E. program and South Hennepin Human
Services Council in 1990.
ADOPTED by the Eden Prairie City Council on the 26th day of October, 1989.

HELP US NOW...
SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO HELP YOU
The Hennepin County funding for South Hennepin Human Services Council will be
totally cut in 1990, unless supporters from our communities can convince the County
Commissioners otherwise.
This means that South Hennepin Human Services will no longer be able to:
advocate for South Hennepin residents in need of human services
seek funding for human services
mobilize the resources of caring communities
identify, develop prevention & solution strategies for human service issues
assure that consumers and other area residents have a voice in decision making through a citizen
participation process
educate the community about available human services and human service issues
plan for meeting future human service needs
and we will no longer be able to leverage funds for the:
Suburban Hennepin Energy Assistance Program
HOME (Household and Outside Maintenance for Elderly)
South liennepin Emergency Services Program
Suburban Hennepin Affordable Housing Collaborative
South Hennepin Community Support Program/Charaka
If you feel that...
the Council assists the communities to better tneet the human service needs of the people who live here
the Council assists residents and consumers to play an essential and important role in defining their own
problems and recommending their own solutions
the suburban municipalities should have an organizational link with liennepin County for planning and
developing human services
Hennepin County should continue its support for the Human Services Councils (All of the Suburban and
City of Minneapolis Human Service Councils and citizen participation activities have been recommended
to he totally cut by the I lennepin County Administrator).
