Mental Health America of Putnam County asks commissioners for additional ARPA and EDIT funding
Summary
A representative told the board the group's prior ARPA funds have run out and requested more ARPA and 2025 EDIT funds to support youth-focused outreach; Commissioners said they would consider the written request.
A representative of Mental Health America of Putnam County told the Board that the organization's earlier ARPA allocation has been exhausted and that the group has also received EDIT funds. "Their ARPA funding has run out," the representative said while describing outreach messages targeted at youth in the community and submitting a written request for additional ARPA funding and a request for 2025 EDIT money.
Commissioners did not take immediate action; they acknowledged receipt of the request and said they would consider it when deciding how to obligate remaining county ARPA dollars before year-end. No dollar amount was proposed in the meeting record and no vote was recorded on the request during this session.
