ITEM TITLE:
Title
Ordinance 23-002, relating to the 2022 Budget; making an emergency appropriation in Fund 124 to provide expenditure authority for rental assistance
body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Mike Liddicoat
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Ken Klein 1/12/23
PURPOSE: The purpose of this emergency appropriation is to provide additional expenditure authority within Human Services Fund 124 for costs related to rental assistance in 2022.
BACKGROUND: Snohomish County was awarded federal Treasury Rental Assistance Program funds (referred to as T-RAP) funding, from the Washington State Department of Commerce. These funds were intended to protect public health by preventing evictions during the Covid public health emergency. This award was partially included in the 2022 budget. However, the actual expenditures incurred were much higher than was anticipated when the 2022 budget was developed; thus, an additional emergency appropriation authority in the amount of $15,000,000 is needed. All $15,000,000 was subcontracted to a local nonprofit to provide eligible activities to the target population. This additional budget provides sufficient authority to close out the 2022 Human Services Pass-thought grants budget.
