Summary
The board approved the fiscal year 2026–27 Human Services Block Grant Plan totaling $6,332,992, with a state portion of $5,736,618, a federal portion of $328,406 and a county match of $267,965; staff said the plan covers mental health, intellectual disabilities, drug and alcohol and homeless assistance activities.
Kathy, Human Services staff, presented the fiscal year 2026–27 Human Services Block Grant Plan and its funding breakdown: a total of $6,332,992 with the state portion $5,736,618, federal portion $328,406 and county match $267,965. She described the block grant as flexible funding covering mental health, intellectual-disability base activities, homeless assistance and other adult-services items.
Commissioner Concepcion moved to approve the plan and the board carried the motion on a voice vote. Kathy and staff said the grant provides flexibility to shift dollars between departments as needs arise but noted that flat funding and rising costs make long-term program expansion difficult.
