BACKGROUND:
Measure K is the half-cent general sales tax initially approved by San Mateo County voters in November 2012 and extended in November 2016 for a total of thirty years.
On March 9, 2021, and March 23, 2021, the Board of Supervisors (Board) held study sessions on Measure K expenditures and anticipated revenue for fiscal years (FY) 2021-23. The Board-appointed Measure K sub-committee, consisting of Supervisor Pine and Supervisor Canepa, convened the study sessions to, among other things, work with staff to facilitate the Board’s development of Measure K priorities and continuing initiatives for FYs 2021-23. The Board approved $5 million in one-time loans or grants for the FY 2021-23 budget cycle, divided equally among the five supervisorial districts, for district-discretionary needs and projects. District 5 has submitted a request to use their district-discretionary Measure K funds as shown below and described in the Project Summary section of this memorandum:

Amount |
|
District 5 (Supervisor David J. Canepa) - Daly City Partnership: startup activities, for the Kapwa Kultural Center & Cafe. |
$100,000 |
This item is consistent with the criteria for district-discretionary Measure K funds approved by the Board in December 2018.
PROJECT SUMMARY:
This is a request to authorize a grant to Daly City Partnership, and resulting grant agreement, in an amount not to exceed $100,000, to support startup activities for the Kapwa Kultural Center & Cafe. The County Executive’s Office will administer and manage the proposed agreement.
District-discretionary Measure K funding for this organization has previously been provided as listed below:
• $60,000 to Aging and Adult Services for the Daly City Peninsula Partnership’s Healthy Aging Response team, and $40,000 to Behavioral Health and Recovery Services for the Daly City Peninsula Partnership’s Our Second Home on 7/23/2019
The Kapwa Kultural Center (KKC) is part of the Daly City Partnership, a non-profit formed in 1995 with a mission to guide collaborative efforts and connect community to comprehensive services that promote well-being: shelter, food, clothing, diapers, home goods, utility/housing assistance, support for children and families, after school and youth enrichment, as well as services for older adults, including disabled seniors. KKC would like to develop a “cafe” as a youth and mental health-focused social enterprise that serves Filipina/x/o youth, ages 12-24, with innovative programming that combines leadership skills, workforce preparedness, entrepreneurial mentorship, ethnic studies to support cultural identity formation, and mental health education.
KKC is proposing a youth run "social enterprise cafe". It is intended to provide a community healing space in the form of a cafe that will generate revenue to support operations for other KKC programming (i.e., school-to-career programming for youth) and mental health and wellness services. These services are designed to destigmatize mental health and create culturally attuned access to such services to the general community, and specifically the Filipina/o/x community in Daly City.
KKC adopted the social enterprise cafe model to address the deficit-based access to funding and questionable reliability on grants to sustain these critical community services. The social enterprise approach provides KKC with a diversified funding stream to build a strong sustainability plan for operations and expansion.
KKC is scheduled to move into its Daly City space sometime in Fall 2022 and will phase in partial offerings with the goal of a full opening in 2023. The requested Measure K one-time grant request for $100,000 will be invested in startup activities, namely capital costs associated with renovation of the physical space for the social enterprise café to be located at 11B San Pedro Road in Daly City. While KKC's core program is for the youth, the space will feature a café open to all and will serve boba drinks, juices, teas and snacks, as well as offer classes and workshops for all ages at different stages of life, including activities like chair yoga for seniors.
Total Measure K Request: Not to Exceed $100,000
The release of funds will be contingent on the execution of an agreement providing for the County’s confirmation of the expenditure of funds for the purposes stated herein. The County will disburse the funds to the following organization for the purposes described above:
