Reason for Recommended Action/Background
Attachment A provides the funding allocations for all Board Directed Projects, including expenditures to date and funds remaining to be spent. Attachment B details the most recent quarterly and/or final project reports. The Department of Financial Services is charged with reviewing expenditures associated with the contracts to ensure that the costs are eligible and in compliance with the contracts prior to payment. Staff is recommending the Board consider reallocating funding for three Board Directed projects: Eviction Assistance Prevention Funds, Homeless Mobile Medicine Program, and Yolo County Bookmobile Technology and Data.
Roadmap to the Future Update
On October 8, 2024, the Board of Supervisors received an update on the Roadmap to the Future. The Board directed the County Administrator's office to work with the Yolo County Office of Education (YCOE) and staff to develop a proposal for allocating the remaining $1.95M funding and to return with the proposal at a future meeting.
On November 12, 2024, YCOE and County Staff returned to the Board with funding recommendations for various projects. Table 1 shows the Approved Funding Roadmap Summary, including who is the Lead on these projects and contract status.
Table 1: Approved Funding Roadmap Summary
Reallocation
On July 23, 2023, Eviction Assistance Prevention was allocated $250,000, the Homeless Mobile Medicine Program was allocated $82,000, and the Yolo County Bookmobile Technology and Data was allocated $30,372. The Eviction Assistance Prevention Funds has a small remaining balance of $59.18, which is available to reallocate. The Homeless Mobile Medicine Program contract did not come to fruition; therefore, the $82,000 is available for reallocation. The Bookmobile Technology and Data project was completed under budget, leaving $14,543.95 available for reallocation.
Table 2: Available for Reallocation
Staff recommends using these funds totaling $96,603.13 to support the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) budget for fiscal year 2025-26. This funding would help extend the runway for programs under contract, such as K-12 School Partnership or NAMI Yolo.
