Summary
County staff announced a two-year, $237,100 grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to add a navigator position; the department says a 20% budget match is available to allow program flexibility.
Jessica (role not specified) announced that the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation awarded a two-year grant of $237,100 to fund an additional navigator position within Merrimack County Human Services. According to the presentation, a 20% grant match is covered by existing human services budget lines, which staff said will allow navigators flexibility to work both inside and outside the grant’s specific notice of funds.
County staff said the new navigators will be based locally (described in the transcript as “Cubicle City”) and will support outreach and case navigation. The department did not provide a detailed implementation timeline during the segment, only that current staffing will be used and that the award will cover two years of the program.
No formal vote specific to accepting the grant was recorded in the provided transcript segments, though department staff discussed the budget match and staffing implications during the meeting. The meeting moved on to other agenda items after the presentation.
