Information
Agenda Item Text:
Ratify Signature and Approve an Amendment between Cochise County and the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA) grant to carry over approximately $61,000 from expiring grant #AZH1100018 to renewed grant #AZH140014 for use through January 1, 2018.
Background:
On March 11, 2014, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Grant Renewal Agreement from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for the continuation of the Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA) Program within Cochise County effective from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2018 in the amount of $655,584. This was a continuation of the original grant awarded in January 2011.
An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Housing Authority of Cochise County to continue administering the Program was approved by the Board on December 16, 2014.
No cash matching funds are required and the County will be reimbursed $17,880 for administrative expenses for the 3 year duration of the grant. There is no impact on the General Budget Fund and this grant is included in the budget.
This Amendment had to be returned to HUD by March 6, 2015 and this item ratifies the signature stamp of the Chairman.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
The Housing Authority will move forward with the continuation of the HOPWA Program and use the carry over funds as designated.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The County will not be allowed to carry over the existing $61,000 to the new grant cycle and will lose that portion of the funding.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
None. A copy of the fully executed Amendment will be provided to the Clerk of the Board when it is returned by HUD.
