Summary:
This resolution recognizes and appropriates unanticipated revenue of $58,000.00 in the FY16 Community Development Grant Fund budget for the Planning Department, Community Development and Planning Division. The revenue is from the U.S. 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 are used to reimburse operational expenses at two emergency shelters. Pinellas County normally receives an award each fiscal year.
The funds awarded in Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) were appropriated in FY15, but were not fully expended. This request will appropriate these unanticipated revenues to the FY16 budget. This will enable fulfillment of the obligations contained in the 2014-2015 Action Plan (Resolution 14-54) and the current 2015-2016 Action Plan (Resolution 15-61).
Fiscal Impact:
Adoption of this resolution provides for the receipt of $58,000.00 in unanticipated grant revenue and increases the FY16 operating budget by $58,000.00. The revenue and associated expenses were not anticipated during the development of the FY17 budget. Match is required and is available in the General Fund, Human Services Department, Homeless Initiatives, Homeless Prevention and Self-Sufficiency program.
Since this is not consistent with the FY16 estimates submitted as part of the development of the FY17 Proposed Budget, the ESG program revenues and expenditures will be reviewed to determine if adjustments are required prior to the delivery of the FY17 Tentative Budget.
