body
INFORMATION CONTACT:
Janet Payne, Human Services Agency, Director, 704-296-4348; Linda Miller, Centralina Regional Council, Aging Director, 704-348-2712
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the revised FY25 Home and Community Block Grant (HCCBG) Funding Plan for Union County.
PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
June 17, 2024, Regular Meeting, Agenda Item # 24-419 - BOCC approved the FY2025 Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) funding plan and authorized the County Manager to execute agreement with Centralina.
BACKGROUND:
On June 17, 2024, the BOCC authorized the County Manager to approve the FY25 HCCBG contract with Centralina for $1,299,135, which includes $1,148,163 in block grant funding, a required local match of $127,572, and $23,400 NSIP (USDA) subsidy based on reimbursement of $0.80 per eligible Senior Nutrition meal. The final Federal and State budgets were approved after this Board action resulting in a budget increase of $8,012 ($7,211 of HCCBG and $801 local match) beyond what the BOCC approved at its June 17th meeting.
The BOCC appointed HCCBG Advisory Committee voted to recommend these additional funds be split equally between the County’s Human Services Agency, the Council on Aging, and the City of Monroe’s Bazemore Active Adult Center.
Attached is an amended FY25 HCCBG funding plan. The total FY25 Adopted Budget Ordinance was slightly larger than the original FY25 funding plan based on expected increases from FY24, therefore no budget amendment is needed to appropriate the amended funding plan to proper revenue and expenditure accounts.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$7,211 increase in estimated HCCBG grant revenue. Additional local matching funds will be covered by eligible funding sources in the County’s FY25 Adopted Budget for the Human Services Agency and Council on Aging portion, and in the City of Monroe’s FY2025 budget for the Bazemore Center portion.
