body

DEPARTMENT:  Human Services Department

 

ORIGINATOR:  Traci Baugh

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Lacey Harper 3/7/24

 

PURPOSE: Council approval for County Executive to execute the 2024 LIHEAP Contract 24-32606-081.

 

BACKGROUND: The 2024 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP-EAP) is funded by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Washington State Department of Commerce.  The program funds are designed to reduce the burden of rising home energy costs by providing assistance with a portion of a low-income household’s heating bill.  The contract is for heating bill assistance which will serve approximately 4,900 low-income households. 

SCC 2.10.010(28) authorizes the Executive to “approve grant documents (including but not limited to applications, certifications, contracts, and subsequent amendments) on behalf of the county for funds contributed to the county by grants that are included in a grant work plan approved by the county council by motion in accordance with SCC 4.26.025.”   

The contract for $3,583, 119for the period 10/1/2023 thru 9/30/2025 was included in the 2023 Human Services Grant Work Plan.  However, the amount received exceeds the amount included in the Grant Work Plan by more than $50,000 and now requires Council approval.
