County budget office reports restoration of legacy CBO funding and cancellation of new RFP process
Summary
A county budget representative said the Board of County Commissioners amended the budget to restore prior-year recurring allocations to many community‑based organizations, canceled the planned new CBO RFP, and established a CBO trust fund; local agencies at the meeting sought clarification on specific allocations.
Dan Wall from the county budget office briefed the Behavioral Health Advisory Board on the county's recent budget action, telling the board that the Board of County Commissioners amended the adopted budget to restore prior recurring funding to many community‑based organizations.
Wall said the board’s amendment effectively returned several organizations to prior‑year funding levels, incorporated change memos into the adopted budget and cancelled the previously planned new CBO RFP process. He also said the commission approved establishing a CBO trust fund for future allocations. Wall said a revised listing of allocations would be distributed once the budget section finalizes the updated schedule.
NAMI’s Susan Holtzman raised a question about whether NAMI Miami‑Dade’s funding had been fully restored; Wall said allocations were amended across multiple lists and that staff would provide the revised allocation sheet so organizations could verify their final amounts.
Senator Renee Garcia thanked the commission and mayor’s office for work to restore funding and directed staff to share the revised allocation listing with the board and community partners for transparency and follow‑up.
