Health director says HFI funding uncertain but 2027 carryover expected
Summary
April Hicks told commissioners the health department met state KPIs and expects roughly $428,52235 in HFI funds for 2027, but said the department has not received official notice about longer-term changes to the program despite state discussions.
April Hicks, administrator of the Warrick County Health Department, told commissioners the department met state performance metrics this year and presented a budget that relies on an expected HFI allocation and some carryover funds. Hicks said the department’s projected HFI budget for 2027 is about 428,52235 and that the department has increased some program lines (other supply partnerships and contractual services) to reflect carryover and anticipated needs.
When asked whether HFI funding will continue, Hicks said the department has not received an official notice from the state that HFI will be discontinued, though she acknowledged the state has discussed changes and that some health departments have been asked for letters of support. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the carryover and overall budget bottom line; Hicks said the department will monitor state guidance and report any confirmed changes.
