Board reappropriates $100,000 in ARPA funds to STEPS for supportive housing project
Summary
Supervisors approved reappropriation of $100,000 of previously allocated ARPA funding for a STEPS, Inc. supportive housing project after county staff confirmed a $75,000 match from Nottoway County had been received.
The Prince Edward County Board of Supervisors voted to reappropriate a previously approved $100,000 ARPA appropriation for a supportive housing project administered by STEPS, Inc.
County staff told the board the appropriation was first approved on April 11, 2023, contingent on a $75,000 match from Nottoway County; staff confirmed the Nottoway match has been received and requested the funds be reappropriated in the fiscal year 2025 budget so the grant agreement and disbursement can proceed. Sean Rosier, vice president for housing at STEPS, attended to answer board questions.
A supervisor moved to approve the FY25 budget supplement reappropriating $100,000 from ARPA for the supportive housing project; the motion passed in roll‑call vote with all members recorded in favor.
The reappropriation makes funds available to support creation of supportive housing targeted at people experiencing homelessness and at families in the region; staff did not report additional local funding obligations beyond the match noted earlier.
