Audrey Morris, director of the Amelia County Department of Social Services, presented a quarterly spending and benefits snapshot and proposed quarterly board briefings. "This is full funding. $382,104.85," she said when describing the DSS expenditures for the period and highlighted program impacts: SNAP distributions of $801,885, Medicaid benefits valued at $7,632,423 provided to about 3,000 residents, and energy-assistance distributions to hundreds of families.
Morris said most DSS-funded benefits come from state, federal and private grant sources and that the locality's direct contribution was a small share (roughly 13% of the total program expenditures presented). She offered to provide quarterly reports to the board and noted DSS's continued holiday assistance efforts for families in need. Supervisors welcomed the summary and asked staff to include these highlights in future budget workshops.
