Title
Vote on a Request to approve an appropriation of $268,000 for the FY24 Human Services Nonprofit Allocation funding process and to approve the continuation of the FY22 Board of Commissioner's Goal and Outcomes for the FY24 Human Services Nonprofit Allocation funding process.
Abstract
Introduction & Background:
The Human Services nonprofit allocation process provides an opportunity for human services agencies serving Chatham County to apply for financial support of programs and services that support the Board of Commissioner's goal "to mitigate the impacts of poverty among individuals and households in the county through programs and services that promote stabilization and resiliency." Nonprofit services must support at least one of the three outcomes within this goal:
1. Improved economic stability for low/moderate income adults
2. Improved outcomes for children/youth living in poverty
3. Improved access to comprehensive health care
At the November 16th, 2021 Board of Commissioner meeting, a new nonprofit funding mechanism was approved that would create annual increases to the Human Services nonprofit allocation based on the percentage of annual property value increases. This mechanism increased the FY24 allocation by $8,000 from the FY23 amount of $260,000, for a total allocation of $268,000.
It is also requested that the goal and outcome for human services nonprofit funding approved in FY22 (see above) continue as the approved Board of Commissioner goal and outcomes for the FY24 Human Services Nonprofit Allocation funding process.
Discussion & Analysis:
Appropriation of funds for the Human Services Nonprofit Allocation Process is required before the county can announce availability of funds of the FY24 Nonprofit Funding Process. According to the Nonprofit Agency Funding Policy, the availability of nonprofit funds must be announced at least one month prior to the opening of the application, which is scheduled for February 1st, 2023.
