Monroe County was given an initial allocation of $257,007.00. First Year's estimated budget spending was $154,204.00 (60% of grant funds) and $102,803.00 (40% of grant funds) for the Second Year. Monroe County Social Services staff is located in three different areas of the Keys. This allows for maximum participation by residents who are In need of assistance. Due to the high demand, request for assistance and success of the Homeless Prevention Program, Monroe County exceeded our First Year Budget Allocation. This resulted in an amendment to the Initial contract to reallocate $52,906.00 from the Second Year spending to be utilized in the First Year spending, The Original budget for direct client financial assistance was estimated at 60% percent of the budget. The reallocation of funds from the Second Year to the First Year results in an increase of 14% going to direct financial assistance. Monroe County Social Servlces has also been able to utilize other funding sources to provide case management and administration services which have resulted in a reduction of these original estimated spending amounts and allowing funding to be moved Into direct client financial assistance. As of 3 nd Quarter reporting, Monroe County Social Services has assisted 69 households with total expenditures of $141,698.01. Once the BOCC approves the budget revision of moving the $52,906.00, 22 additional households have been approved with total expenditures of $45,669.00 which would bring the GTD spending to $187,367.01. For the first six months of this grant, Monroe County has expended 72% in direct client financial assistance of the total allocation of $257,007.00. In addition to the above expenditures, we are still receiving applications. We currently have 34 applications on hold due to lack of funding. Based on the average number of months of rental assistance requested (2 months), estimated expenditures for these 34 applicants are approximately $70,930.00. After moving $52,906.00 to the First Year Budget, the Second Year Budget is only $45,297.39 for direct assistance. Even with the addition of the 2010 HPRP Allocation Pro Rata Need by Continuum of $25,303 for Monroe County, Social Services would only by able to assist current clients and the above pending clients. We would not be able to assist any new applicants. Our initial expectation was to assist approximately 125 households for the entire two years. Based on the above information, we have assisted approximately 125 households in the first six months of the First Year alone. Revised 15d At the close of the of the 6 th quarter reporting period, Monroe County had expended GTD amount of $324,824.00 which was 91 % of the total award allocation of $357,007.00. As of 7th Quarter reporting, Monroe County Social Services has assisted 140 households and 315 persons with total expenditures of $314,962.42 for direct client assistance. We have maintained an eligibility specialist position which provides direct case management, outreach and data entry services utilizing the HMIS program as well as Monroe County Social Services internal data entry program. After review of prior applicants and during the course of exiting clients, we determined that approximately 10 clients could still use additional rental assistance. And We are also still receiving applications. We currently have 25 applications on hold due to lack of funding. Based on the average number of months of rental assistance requested (2 months), estimated expenditures for these 25 applicants are approximately $18,000.00. In summation and based on this information, Monroe County Social Services is requesting and additional FY 2011 allocation of $13,791.00. Due to the continued high demand for rental assistance, we are requesting to budget the additional allocation of $13,791.00 into direct services. We have adjusted total administrative cost to $500.00 and moved those funds into case management.
