Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $400,000.00 from the anticipated 2023 HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for some of the Department of Development’s Housing Division’s 2023 personnel costs.
These funds are for a portion of the 2023 Housing Division budget for personnel expenses (other funding is provided by the general fund and other federal grants) and are a portion of the HOME Administration monies anticipated to be received in the 2023 grant. Additional ordinances may be forthcoming later in 2023 to appropriate the balance of the HOME Administration grant funds and/or 2022 program income available for personnel expenses for the remainder of the year, once the 2023 grant amount is known.
This legislation represents partial appropriation for the HOME portion of the 2023 Draft Action Plan, per Ordinance 3353-2022. Passage of this ordinance is contingent upon passage of the 2023 DRAFT Action Plan ordinance.
Emergency action is requested in order to ensure personnel funds are in place for FY 2023 at the start of FY 2023.
Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $400,000.00 for this appropriation are supported by the anticipated 2023 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 2023 HOME Grant (G442202). Funding would be made available to the department when the Auditor’s Office opens in January 2023.
