Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of a supplemental budget appropriation of $572,700 for Children’s Assessment Center (CAC) to reflect the total reimbursement expected from the CAC Foundation to the County in FY24.
end
Background and Discussion:
This is a supplemental budget request for a budget expansion for the remaining balance of the CAC Foundation reimbursement not already reflected in the FY24 Budget. The reimbursement from the CAC Foundation is tied to a one-year grant that started in FY23 and is renewed annually. CAC has been receiving this grant since 2017 with varying amounts awarded. The FY24 FEAR included $3.5M to be reimbursed to Harris County for salary and benefits for CAC employees; however, the Department’s baseline budget was not fully aligned. The supplemental request is for the difference ($572,700) between the total reimbursement amount ($3.5M) and what is already included in the Department’s FY24 Budget.
Expected Impact:
OMB will process a transfer of $572,700 in supplemental funding to CAC following approval from Commissioner’s Court. The funding is used for therapists that support all of Harris County and will be used for existing positions within the Wellness and Recovery Services Program. This Program provides mental health services for children who have been victimized by sexual abuse and sex trafficking within Harris County.
