| BACKGROUND: |
The 2017 Escambia Consortium Annual Action Plan was approved by the Board on August 3, 2017, including an allocation for the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (Exhibit I). The 2017 Annual Plan included a total of $144,059 in 2017 ESG funds. These funds were also reviewed during the County annual budget process.
Per the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), implementation of the ESG Program must be closely coordinated with ECOH, the HUD designated Homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) lead agency for Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Of the total $144,059 2017 ESG grant, $14,900 will be expended directly for continued administration of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and $3601 in administration funds will be expended to allow ECOH to assist the County with preparation of the HUD Annual Plan, Consolidated Annual Performance Report (CAPER), and related CoC initiatives by ECOH per the Agreement (Exhibit II) to be approved through this recommendation. All non-administration funding must be matched 100%. |
