Commissioner seeks policy change so veterans groups can apply for HCI funding
Summary
Commissioner Milan Blake asked staff to work with the county attorney to amend a policy so veterans organizations that are not 501(c)(3) nonprofits can apply for HCI funding; no formal amendment was proposed at the meeting.
Commissioner Milan Blake asked county staff to work with the county attorney to amend the county’s policy so veterans organizations can apply for HCI funding.
Blake said he asked staff member Laurie to consult with the county attorney and bring back proposed language. He explained that many veterans groups—for example the VFW, American Legion and Disabled American Veterans—do not have 501(c)(3) status and the current policy language prevents them from applying. Blake said he would place the amendment on a future agenda once staff and the attorney finalize the wording.
Blake characterized the issue as a technical eligibility question tied to nonprofit status rather than a change in program purpose. The meeting transcript did not specify what “HCI” stands for or whether any funding amounts or eligibility criteria beyond nonprofit status will change.
No formal motion or vote occurred; Blake said he would “be happy to put that on the agenda” after staff finalizes the suggested amendment.
