REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. Approval of the recommended actions will allow the Department of Social Services to address budgetary needs for the Housing Navigators Program (HNP) and out of county placement expenses associated with the SB163 Wraparound Adoptions Assistance Program (AAP) paid out of DSS Org 5610. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There are no viable alternative actions. If the recommended actions are not approved, the Department will not have sufficient appropriations to reimburse costs associated with the Housing Navigators Program and SB163 Wraparound-AAP through the end of the fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. Approval of the recommended actions will increase appropriations and estimated revenues in the Housing Navigators Program Org 1119 ($33,606) to account for previously unbudgeted revenues and fund Operating Transfer Out into Org 5610, in the SB163-AAP Org 1130 ($254,450) to account for out of county placement expenses; and increase appropriations and estimate revenues in the Department’s Org 5610 to receive additional revenues from the Housing Navigators Program.
DISCUSSION:
Approval of the recommended action for the Housing Navigators Program (HNP) Org 1119 will allow for usage of previously unbudgeted revenues. HNP is a grant funded program that assists young adults to obtain and maintain housing with priority given to young adults formerly in the foster care or probation systems. HNP resources provide case management services through Housing Navigators to secure and maintain housing and make linkages to key resources in the community.
Approval of the recommended action for SB 163 Wraparound AAP will address the expenses for youths placed out of county that are paid by the Department’s Org 5610 and offset with funds from the SB163-AAP Org 1130.
Approval will allow the movement of funds to cover costs from Org 1119 and Org 1130 to Org 5610 where the expenses are incurred.
