Background and Discussion:
Commissioners Court has approved $915 million of programs funded through ARPA funds.
The ARPA Steering Committee recommends the adjustments below to establish funding allocations for available funds, totaling $37.8 million:
• Negotiate amendment to the Healthy Minds, Healthy Communities contract with the Harris Center, reducing the limit of appropriation by an additional $4.0 million
• Negotiate amendment to the Youth Diversion contract with the Harris Center, reducing the limit of appropriation by $1.0 million
• Negotiate amendment to the SHINE Childhood Facilities Fund contract with Low Income Investment Fund, reducing the limit of appropriation by $17.7 million
• Reduce the Lead Screening & Abatement budget by $5.0 million
• Reduce the Food & Nutrition budget by $1.5 million
• Reduce Single Family Rehabilitation budget by $2.6 million
• Reduce the Single Family Acquisition budget by $4.0 million
• Reduce the Single Family Reconstruction budget by $2.0 million
Expected Impact:
