Title
Receive a presentation and vote to approve an appropriation for the FY27 Human Services Nonprofit Allocation funding process and to approve the continuation of the FY26 Board of Commissioner's Goal and Outcomes for the FY27 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
Discussion & Analysis: Appropriation of funds for the Human Services Nonprofit Allocation Process is required before the county can announce availability of funds for the FY27 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 3rd, 2025.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: Objective 9: Provide equitable access to high-quality education, housing, and community options for all and objective 10: Foster a healthy community.
Budgetary Impact: The allocation is already included in the budget.
Recommendation/Motion: Receive a presentation and vote to approve an appropriation for the FY27 Human Services Nonprofit Allocation funding process and the continuation of the FY26 Board of Commissioner’s Goal and Outcomes for the FY27 Human Services Nonprofit Allocation funding process.
