NEED/IMPACT:
The Human Services Department has received an annual appropriation for senior services for the past 19 years. In the County's 2022 Adopted Budget, $850,000 was approved for the delivery of services to DeKalb seniors. This amount will be added to the estimated $2 million dollars of federal and state funds that the County will receive from the Atlanta Regional Commission to provide aging services. The transfer of $850,000 from the General Fund to the Grant Fund will prevent the delay in payment for these services to subcontractors. The Department requests that the amount approved in the General Fund for senior services be transferred to the grant fund/award 100453/6002152. It should be noted that three positions are paid from these funds: Information & Referral Specialist, Fiscal Assistant, and Human Services Administrator.
