County group-home operator reports operations are stable; explains nonreverting fund revenue split
Summary
A group-home operator told commissioners both homes are open, placements come via the Department of Child Services and DCS payments are split—75% to the general fund and 25% to a nonreverting fund used for operations and repairs—helping reduce the burden on local taxpayers.
Mister Loudermilk reported to the commissioners that both group homes operated under his oversight are open and serving children. He said that in a recent 10-month period, fundraising nearly matched the budgeted operating amount and that placements come primarily through the Department of Child Services (DCS), including some out-of-county placements.
Loudermilk explained the county’s revenue split for DCS-funded placements: the county returns 75% of the per-diem revenue to the general fund and retains 25% in a nonreverting fund to pay for ongoing operations, repairs, training and supplies for the homes. He said the nonreverting fund has reduced pressure on the county general fund and that there is no immediate plan to open a third house.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the nonreverting fund and praised the homes’ performance; the transcript records expressions of appreciation and a brief discussion of the funding mechanics.
