Summary:
This resolution recognizes and appropriates unanticipated revenue of $70,000.00 in the FY16 Community Development Grant Fund budget for the Planning Department, Community Development and Planning Division. The revenue is from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program.
Background Information:
The ESG Program is used to provide homelessness prevention and rehousing in the form of temporary rental assistance through the County’s Community Housing Assistance Program. In addition, ESG funds were used to reimburse expenses at two emergency shelters in FY16. Pinellas County normally receives an award each fiscal year.
Due to unexpected expenditures occurring in FY16 that were not anticipated to be expensed until Fiscal Year 2017 (FY17), a budget amendment is necessary. The funds awarded in FY16 were not fully appropriated in FY16. This request will appropriate these unanticipated revenues to the FY16 budget. This will enable the fulfillment of the obligations contained in the 2015-2016 Action Plan (Resolution 15-61).
Fiscal Impact:
Adoption of this resolution provides for the receipt of $70,000.00 in unanticipated grant revenue and increases the FY16 operating budget by $70,000.00. Match is required and is available in the General Fund, Human Services Department, Homeless Initiatives, Homeless Prevention and Self-Sufficiency program.
This supplemental resolution is not consistent with the FY16 estimates submitted as part of the development of the FY17 Budget.
