Committee accepts additional social services funds as department warns of changing federal aid
Summary
Steuben County committee approved accepting federal and state aid into the social services 2025 budget after staff said federal funding timing and safety-net needs require adjustments; members asked for follow-up on amounts and recognition timing.
The committee voted to accept additional federal and state aid into the social services 2025 budget after an agency official (S2) told members the department needs $180,000 in federal aid and discussed state safety-net figures (including a cited $735,000 state aid component).
Committee members pressed staff for clarity about timing and whether federal changes had been finalized. A committee member (S3) asked if the $1.1 million change was tied to federal action; S2 replied the amounts relate to homeless services and noted some federal decisions were still pending. The motion to accept the funds was called and carried.
