Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $400,000.00 from the anticipated FY 2022 HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for some of the Department of Development’s Housing Division’s 2022 personnel costs.
These funds are for a portion of the 2022 Housing Division budget for personnel expenses (other funding is provided by the general fund and another federal grant) and are a portion of the HOME Administration monies anticipated to be received in the 2022 grant. Additional ordinances may be forthcoming later in 2022 to appropriate the balance of the HOME Administration grant funds and/or 2021 program income available for personnel expenses for the remainder of the year, once the 2022 grant amount is known.
This legislation represents partial appropriation for the HOME portion of the 2022 Action Plan, per Ordinance 2800-2021. Passage of this ordinance is contingent upon passage of the 2022 Action Plan ordinance.
Emergency action is requested in order to ensure personnel funds are in place for FY 2022 at the start of FY 2022.
Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $400,000.00 for this appropriation are supported by the anticipated HOME entitlement award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are allocated from the HOME Administrative monies set aside within the 2022 HOME Grant (G442102). Funding would be made available to the Department when the Auditor’s Office opens in January 2022.
