Information Contact: Damon Scott, Human Services Department Director
Phone Number: (404) 270-1178
PURPOSE:
To consider the transfer of $189,821 from the Victim Assistance Fund 206 to the Grant Fund in Cost Center 67510 Human Services- Fund 250.
NEED/IMPACT:
In the County’s Adopted 2018 Budget, $339,821 was approved for State Certified Victim Assistance non-profits. In September 2018, the BOC approved $150,000 of these funds for a contract with the Women’s Resource Center (d.b.a. Women Moving On, Inc.) to provide crisis intervention services to women and their children. The balance of $189,821 will be allocated to other non-profits who provide similar services.
The Human Services Department has identified eight (8) non-profit agencies that have State Certification to provide services and support to victims of domestic violence. The grant period for all grants will be for one year from the date of BOC approval. The transfer of funds from the Victim Assistance Fund to the Human Services Grant Fund will help avoid the delay of payments to these critical non-profits agencies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact, as this action only transfers already appropriated funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
To transfer $189,821 from the Victim Assistance Fund 206 to the Grant Fund in Cost Center 67510 Human Services- Fund 250; to authorize disbursements under the terms of the grant agreement and to authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute all necessary documents.
