BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Health and Human Services Agency - Community Services and Workforce Development Division (HHSA) has received a Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) in the amount of $30,000 to be used at the discretion of the Community Action Board (CAB) for the benefit of low-income community members. Discretionary funding is allocated to all Community Action Agencies at a specific amount and varies from year to year. Last year's allocation was in the amount of $35,000. In prior years, Discretionary funding was competitively procured by the State. For the last few years, equal awards have been made to all Community Action Agencies. Last year, the CAB allocated the $35,000 award to benefit several activities including youth enrichment scholarships, emergency hotel vouchers, supplies and to offset costs for the 2019 Homeless Point-in-Time Census. The CAB will determine this year's activities at their next meeting.
The Budget Adjustment form funds expenditure lines appropriate to funding decision of the CAB.
