Board approves reallocation within Home and Community Care Block Grant to cover caregiver salary
Summary
The board approved a budget amendment reallocating Home and Community Care Block Grant funds after state award levels reduced the county’s family caregiver allocation from $28,000 to $21,000; the board moved $7,000 from housing/home improvement to case assistance to cover staff salary.
Dan Hall (or county staff presenting the item) said the county’s Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) budget was submitted earlier this year before the state finalized allocations. The county’s family caregiver line was reduced from $28,000 to $21,000, and staff proposed moving the $7,000 shortfall from housing and home-improvement funds into information and case assistance to cover the salary of Angela Faircloth.
Staff said the advisory board had reviewed the reallocation and that the county received the same total HCCBG amount overall; only a redistribution of line items was necessary. The board approved the budget amendment by voice vote.
Why it matters: The reallocation preserves caregiver and case-assistance services by covering a staff salary without changing the total grant amount the county receives.
Ending: Staff will finalize the budget amendment and the board’s chairman was asked to sign the revised HCCBG budget document.
