body
BACKGROUND
The County has agreements with community-based organizations based on their applications for funding to carry out objectives outlined in the 2024-2027 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The terms of those agreements stipulated that funding disbursed according to the payment schedules outlined in Exhibit B of each agreement must be spent within that fiscal year, that unspent funds would not be allowed to rollover to future fiscal years, and that unspent funds at the end of each fiscal year must be paid back to the County.
Unforeseen circumstances, including the need to leverage threatened federal grant funding to support program activities led to four of these funded programs, On The Move (Napa Housing Stabilization Program and LGBTQ School Support Program), UpValley Family Centers (Increasing Housing Stability and Preventing Homelessness in UpValley Program) and Puertas Abiertas Family Resource Center (Napa Farmers Market Fruit and Veggie Bucks Program) requesting to shift their 3-year grant budgets to move spending into later years. These programs are meeting the objectives and outcomes associated with their program agreements, and HHSA has determined that it is reasonable to allow flexibility for these programs to most efficiently manage grant funding while remaining accountable to the outcomes and deliverables outlined in the agreements. These agreements are funded by Tobacco Master Settlement Agreements. These amendments remove language that prohibited these organizations from amending their budgets to roll expenditures over to future fiscal years within the three-year agreement term. Language has been added to explicitly allow for the rollover of these funds to be requested with the submission of a revised budget and justification to be evaluated for approval by the Director of HHSA.
