ITEM TITLE:
Title
Motion 25-519, approving a budget transfer or reallocation within the Department of Human Services
body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Isaac S. Isaac
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Lacey Harper 11/7/25
PURPOSE: To reallocate existing budget appropriations between Pending Grants and the Energy Assistance Program budgets to meet program needs through 2026.
BACKGROUND: A review of the current program budget for the Energy Assistance program indicates that an adjustment is needed to support planned activities through 12/31/26. The Department of Commerce and Puget Sound Energy Low Income Household Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) grants provide funding for energy assistance services, including consumer education, to low-income households. An increase in 2025 grant funding has resulted in a need for additional staffing and supply charges, beyond what was anticipated in the approved 2025-2026 budget. This transfer will enable necessary services to continue consumer education services through the end of 2026. The total requested budget transfer is $375,000.
These activities were not anticipated during the 2025-2026 budget process. An offsetting reduction is being made to Human Services Pending Grants.
