Summary:
This resolution recognizes and appropriates unanticipated revenue of $485,420.00 in the FY16 General Fund budget for Human Services. The revenue is from a State Community and Primary Care Services Grant earmarked for the Behavioral Health program.
Background Information:
The Human Services Department has been awarded a new Community and Primary Care Services grant from the State of Florida Agency on Health Care Administration (AHCA). Acceptance of the award has been submitted for Board approval and requires a resolution to appropriate the associated revenue and expenditures in the FY16 budget. The grant period is effective from the date of execution to June 30, 2016. (Grant No.GFA049)
The grant award funds provision of behavioral health assessments and brief intervention services to homeless clients served by the County’s Healthcare for the Homeless program. The goal is to prevent unnecessary emergency room visits and inpatient hospitalization for homeless individuals needing behavioral health services. On January 12, 2016, the County’s Interlocal Agreement with the Health Department was amended to provide additional services with $192,280.00 of these funds. Another service agreement with Baycare Behavioral Health has been submitted to the Board for compensation up to $293,140.00. Clients needing longer-term services will be referred to Directions for Living.
Fiscal Impact:
Adoption of this resolution provides for the receipt of $485,420.00 in unanticipated grant revenue and increases the FY16 operating expense budget by $485,420.00. The revenue and associated expense were not anticipated during the development of the FY16 budget. No match is required, and the grant is non-recurring.
The funds will be available from the date of execution through the end of the State’s current fiscal year (June 30, 2016). Use of any remaining award balance beyond June requires legislative approval to carry funding forward in AHCA’s FY17 budget.
