Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Hello Monroe Commissioners, I am writing to you about a subject near and dear to my heart, our most vulnerable population in Monroe County, persons with intellectual disabilities and others who do not have the ability to speak for themselves. Please carefully consider the proposed budget cuts to the HSAB Grant funding. Our Special Olympics athletes, who are also clients of MARC deserve the full funding that is recommended by the HSAB board. I have full faith in all of you to find a way to retain the funding for both MARC and Special Olympics. The legislative agenda in our state has already cut the budget for this population. No amount of local fundraising will make up the difference that will be created by the loss of HSAB funding, along with the legislative cuts.

Good morning Commissioners: I am very disappointed to read that the county laid off 20 full-time employees. Some or even most of them are long term employees of 10 or more years. These people have a lot vested in the county and to rip them out of retirement is heartless in my opinion. Why not lay off the ones you just hired a year ago or those not vested in FRS.Why not give the big salary employees no 2.9% Cola? Most of you have a retirement, can you even imagine this happening to you. Rethink this! Reducing the funding to MARC is another issue I do not agree with. This program is essential for our MARC Clients and I ask that you reject this proposal by the County Administrator. We have got to do better!

Dear Commissioners, I understand that during today's Monroe County Board of County Commissioners Budget Meeting, there will be a proposal to reduce funding for local nonprofits by 50% in 2026. I'm writing to respectfully urge you not to approve this reduction—especially for organizations that serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, such as Special Olympics and the Monroe Association for ReMARCable Citizens (MARC). These programs are not just important—they are life-changing. My son, along with so many of his friends, has benefited immensely from the opportunities, support, and sense of community these organizations provide. From building confidence and independence to developing social and physical skills, these programs play a vital role in helping our loved ones lead fuller, more connected lives. Reducing or eliminating funding would not only undo decades of progress, but it would also be a devastating blow to the families and individuals who rely on these services every day. These are some of the most vulnerable members of our community, and they deserve our continued investment and care. I respectfully ask that you maintain support for Special Olympics, MARC House, and similar nonprofits. The positive impact they have on Monroe County residents is immeasurable. Thank you for your time, service, and thoughtful consideration.

Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Sent on behalf of Marcus Varner: Commissioners, I am writing to you regarding the Monroe County Budget and the proposed reduction to the Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB) funding. As a board member of AH Monroe, I know HSAB funding is not simply a line item, it is a critical investment in the health, safety, and stability of our community's friends and neighbors. This includes our clients living in transitional housing and those living with HIV, as well as thousands of other residents from Key West to Key Largo. While I understand that the County must navigate financial constraints and make tough decisions, a 50% cut to HSAB would have devastating consequences. These funds support critical services such as: • Medical care for people with chronic conditions • Prenatal care for uninsured mothers • Dental services for children • Afterschool programs for working families • Nutritous Food These are not duplicative or non-essential programs. If this funding cut happens, these services will go away and there will be gaps in care in our community. These county dollars often serve as matching funds, drawing down millions of additional state and federal dollars into Monroe County. Public health research consistently shows that preventative care yields a high return on investment. Reducing this investment into the care of our residents today will result in higher costs tomorrow: emergency room visits, homelessness, and increased burdens on local law enforcement and hospital systems. i Finally, these programs don't just serve "others." They support our friends, neighbors, employees, and families- tax-paying residents who rely on these 29 non-profits to stay housed, healthy, and continue to be productive members of our community. I respectfully ask that you reconsider the depth of the proposed cut and instead amend the budget to reflect a 25% reduction to HSAB funding in FY 25-26, with an opportunity to reassess the program in the following fiscal year. The well-being of our community depends on thoughtful decisions like this one. Thank you for your service and your consideration.

Dear Commissioner Scholl: I am a Monroe County resident writing to you regardingthe upcoming County Budget and the cuts to the HSAB funding. My daughter,Jill, is a member of Monroe Association for ReMARCable Citizens(MARC).Since being in the program she has thrived in the Key West Community and has learned to participate in many of the associated programs MARC provides and also Special Olympics.These budget cuts will devastate MARC and other programs in our county that help the most needy and vulnerable among us. The HSAB Funding is an ESSENTIAL part of the county budget,while I understand that most items in the budget are getting cut, I propose that the HSAB cut be only 25%. The affected agencies provide services that are essential and necessary. No one else does what they do.A 50%cut to these agencies would mean that many of these vital services will go away. A cut will also mean the loss of State and Federal funds that are met as match to the County funds. Together that amounts to over 2+million dollars brought into the County from outside sources. Studies show preventative care and core services have a significant return on investment.Cutting them will cost more later in ER visits, lostjobs, increased homeless residents, parents having to pay for day services for the disabled and preventable crises,. Without these services,there will be more burden on taxpayers, not less. HSAB matters, health, children,disabled populations, and safety all matter and this funding helps to provide these services. The community does not have the resources to fundraise our way out of a 50%decrease in HSAB grants. Respectfully, I ask that you reconsider and amend the budget to reflect a 25%decrease in the HSAB. As a citizen of Key West and Monroe County, as a Registered Nurse that has worked with children and adults with devastating and incurable diseases, as a grandmother, 1 and most importantly, a mother of an adult child with developmentally disabilities I ask that revise these cuts to these important programs.

During this time, I have committed my personal time and effort to raise over$350,000 individually for the benefit of AH Monroe, MARC, Inc. and other local Keys charities impacted by your recent decision to cut their annual grants in half. My cycling team has delivered over$1.5 million since 2017 to these same charities, so I can pridefully state that I bring some "skin" to this topic. Much of my personal effort has been accomplished by years of participation in The SMART Ride, The Tour De Keys and Royal Campaigns for Kings &Queens of Fantasy Fest. It was with great regret and astonishment that I learned that the County was proposing a 50 percent cut (i.e. > $1 million dollar)to the 29 HSAB benefitting agencies. Both of the major charitable organizations (AH Monroe and MARC), I have supported for years stand to lose over$100,000 each, if your proposal stands intact. Our neighbors with intellectual disabilities, those living with the challenges of HIV, and those in need of transitional and affordable housing solutions will all suffer.Additionally, reduction in HIV education, prevention and awareness will result while simultaneously Southern Florida remains a hotbed for new infections among our Youth. No amount of fundraising can mitigate the negative results that your proposal will have on staffing and services to our Community. I am respectfully requesting that you reconsider the level of proposed cuts in the percentage level of grants. The health and well being of the Community that I love rests with your decision and I am respectfully requesting that you reconsider your original decision. The future of those in need rests in your decision. Let compassion for those less fortunate guide you in your decision. Donald G.

Dear Commissioner Scholl: I am a Monroe County resident and a Republican that is a member of the Southermost Republican Club of Key West, I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this email. The purpose of my email is to urge you as a commissioner and member of the Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB) to continue funding non-governmental agencies on your list for potential budget cuts. I regard the full funding of the Monroe Association for ReMARCable Citizens (MARC) and the other ear-marked agencies as a huge positive for the clients in their care, which improves their lives in our community. These budget cuts will devastate MARC and other programs in our county that help the most needy and vulnerable among us. I regard the measure of our country, and the decency it stands for regarding the less able among us, as a true measure of the dignity of the United States. Isn't this a value we stand for as one nation under God? The HSAB Funding is an ESSENTIAL part of the county budget, while I understand that most items in the budget are getting cut, I propose that the non-governmental agencies that help the less fortunate, not be cut all!!! The affected agencies provide services I regard as being essential. No one else does what they do. A financial cut to these agencies would mean that many of these vital services will go away. It will also mean the loss of State and Federal funds that are met as a match to the County funds. In my estimation cuts will amount to well over 2 million dollars brought into the County from outside sources. Studies have shown preventative care and core services have a significant return on investment. Cutting them will cost more later in ER visits, lost jobs, increased homelessness. Without these services there will be more of a burden on taxpayers, not less. You, as a member of the Human Services Advisory Board, must know Florida is one of the best fiscally managed States. And as so, we should agree that providing for those less fortunate matters. The health of children, the welfare of the disabled populations, and the safety of those in need should be provided within these services. As you know, the Key West community is a generous one; however, I don't know if the support they currently give can be increased. Hopefully it can!! Respectfully, I ask that you amend the budget to reflect no decrease in the non-governmental agency's budget. As a citizen of Key West and Monroe County, I ask you to do what I believe is in your heart, don't cut the budget to these budget items! I sincerely thank you for considering my request, God bless, George Dumigan Please note my new email address: geodumigan@icloud.com George Dumigan 1307 Petronia Street Key West, FL 33040 Mobile: 203-623-2615 2 Liz Yongue From: Keith Moffat <moffat@cars.uchicago.edu> Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2025 6:50 PM To: BOCCDIS3 Subject: FW: Proposed cut to HSAB and MARC funding Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Some people who received this message don't often get email from moffat@cars.uchicago.edu.Learn why this is important CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the County. Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Dear Commissioner Jim Scholl: As Monroe County residents, we write regarding the proposed cuts in the HSAB funding component of the County Budget. Many seriously disadvantaged residents of Monroe County have benefited greatly from HSAB and MARC programs and facilities. We accept that many items must be cut in these times, but the community does not have the fundraising resources to compensate for a 50%decrease in HSAB grants. The affected agencies provide services that are essential and irreplaceable. No one else does what these agencies do. A 50%cut would eliminate many of these vital services. From a purely budgetary viewpoint, preventative care and core services such as those offered by MARC offer a significant return on investment. Cuts now will soon lead to increased costs in, for example, emergency room visits, lost jobs, preventable medical crises and increased numbers of homeless residents. These will impose a larger burden on taxpayers, not a smaller. We ask that you reconsider and amend the budget to reflect only a 25% decrease in the HSAB budget, rather than the 50% being considered. A 25%decrease is significant and will require hard belt-tightening, but will probably allow the most valuable core services to be scaled back and retained.

They do not have the privilege that we share, with ability to earn a competitive wage, to support themselves, provide a safe home and transportation withing their community.They need our help. I understand the DOGE and current administrations focus on reducing waste, fraud and abuse, but I cannot see how cutting nonprofit funding falls into that category. Monroe has always prided ourselves on taking care of our own and supporting each other through rough times. We rally to ensure that those that cannot do for themselves are taken care of,This is why I choose to live here, to pour my heart and soul into what I do. As a tax payer I am asking you to use my tax dollars to support HSAB funding at a 25%cut rather then the 50%. Respectfully, I ask that you reconsider and amend the budget to reflect a 25%decrease in the HSAB.

Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Craig, Michelle, Jim, David, & Holly, I am writing to you regarding the Monroe County Budget and the proposed reduction to the Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB) funding. Please remember the large population in our community that supports all of us, needs this funding to survive and at the very least— be cognizant of the need to adjust funding OVER TIME. Pulling the rug from these organizations at once will be devastating many. As a board member of AH Monroe and working with many other non-profits in this community through my job, I know HSAB funding is not simply a line item, it is a critical investment in the health, safety, and stability of our community's friends and neighbors. This includes our clients living in transitional housing and those living with HIV, as well as thousands of other residents from Key West to Key Largo. While I understand that the County must navigate financial constraints and make tough decisions, a 50% cut to HSAB would have devastating consequences. These funds support critical services such as: • Medical care for people with chronic conditions • Prenatal care for uninsured mothers • Dental services for children • Afterschool programs for working families • Nutritous Food These are not duplicative or non-essential programs. If this funding cut happens, these services will go away and there will be gaps in care in our community. These county dollars often serve as matching funds, drawing down millions of additional state and federal dollars into Monroe County. Public health research consistently shows that preventative care yields a high return on investment. Reducing this investment into the care of our residents today will result in higher costs tomorrow: emergency room visits, homelessness, and increased burdens on local law enforcement and hospital systems. Finally, these programs don't just serve "others." They support our friends, neighbors, employees, and families- tax-paying residents who rely on these 29 non-profits to stay housed, healthy, and continue to be productive members of our community. i Please. Sharpen your pencils and use some truly critical thinking to assess what is needed in our community. I respectfully ask that you reconsider the depth of the proposed cut and instead amend the budget to reflect a 25% reduction to HSAB funding in FY 25-26, with an opportunity to reassess the program in the following fiscal year. The well-being of our community depends on thoughtful decisions like this one. Thank you for your service and your consideration. Sincerely, Jacqueline M.

Dear Commissioner Scholl: I am a Monroe County resident and a Republican that is a member of the Southermost Republican Club of Key West, I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this email. The purpose of my email is to urge you as a commissioner and member of the Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB) to continue funding non-governmental agencies on your list for potential budget cuts. I regard the full funding of the Monroe Association for ReMARCable Citizens (MARC) and the other ear-marked agencies as a huge positive for the clients in their care, which improves their lives in our community. These budget cuts will devastate MARC and other programs in our county that help the most needy and vulnerable among us. I regard the measure of our country, and the decency it stands for regarding the less able among us, as a true measure of the dignity of the United States. Isn't this a value we stand for as one nation under God? The HSAB Funding is an ESSENTIAL part of the county budget, while I understand that most items in the budget are getting cut, I propose that the non-governmental agencies that help the less fortunate, not be cut all!!! The affected agencies provide services I regard as being essential. No one else does what they do. A financial cut to these agencies would mean that many of these vital services will go away. It will also mean the loss of State and Federal funds that are met as a match to the County funds. In my estimation cuts will amount to well over 2 million dollars brought into the County from outside sources. 2 Studies have shown preventative care and core services have a significant return on investment. Cutting them will cost more later in ER visits, lost jobs, increased homelessness. Without these services there will be more of a burden on taxpayers, not less. You, as a member of the Human Services Advisory Board, must know Florida is one of the best fiscally managed States. And as so, we should agree that providing for those less fortunate matters. The health of children, the welfare of the disabled populations, and the safety of those in need should be provided within these services. As you know, the Key West community is a generous one; however, I don't know if the support they currently give can be increased. Hopefully it can!! Respectfully, I ask that you amend the budget to reflect no decrease in the non- governmental agency's budget. As a citizen of Key West and Monroe County, I ask you to do what I believe is in your heart, don't cut the budget to these budget items! I sincerely thank you for considering my request, God bless, George Dumigan Please note my new email address: ctuict ( ioloud„oom George Dumigan 1307 Petronia Street Key West, FL 33040 Mobile: 203-623-2615 3 Liz Yongue From: kristina shearin <petree.kristina@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2025 8:27 PM To: BOCCDIS3 Subject: MARC HOUSE Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Some people who received this message don't often get email from petree.kristina@gmail.com.Learn why this is important CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the County.

Commissioner I am a Monroe County resident writing to you regarding the upcoming County Budget and the cuts to the HSAB funding. The HSAB Funding is an ESSENTIAL part of the county budget, while I understand that most items in the budget are getting cut, I propose that the HSAB cut be only 25%. The affected agencies provide services that are essential and necessary. No one else does what they do.A 50%cut to these agencies would mean that many of these vital services will go away. A cut will also mean the loss of State and Federal funds that are met as match to the County funds. Together that amounts to over 2+ million dollars brought into the County from outside sources. Studies show preventative care and core services have a significant return on investment. Cutting them will cost more later in ER visits, lost jobs, increased homeless residents, parents having to pay for day services for the disabled and preventable crises,. Without these services, there will be more burden on taxpayers, not less HSAB matters, health, children, disabled populations, and safety all matter and this funding helps to provide these services. The community does not have the resources to fundraise our way out of a 50% decrease in HSAB grants. Respectfully, I ask that you reconsider and amend the budget to reflect a 25% decrease in the HSAB. i Kristina Shearin 2 Liz Yongue From: Myra Wittenberg <myra@samuelshouse.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2025 1:22 PM To: BOCCDIS3 Subject: HSAB at 25% Reduction Attachments: Ltr HSAB Jim Scholl D3 08-11-2025.docx Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Some people who received this message don't often get email from myra@samuelshouse.org.Learn why this is important CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the County.

Honorable BOCC Members: Attached is a letter from Samuel's House regarding the proposed budget cuts to HSAB funding at 50%. We strongly support that the proposed cuts be held at 25%to enable agencies to continue provision of services currently in place in Monroe County, on behalf of Monroe County. There will be no savings with cuts at 50% -this will only result in higher costs elsewhere such as law enforcement,judicial expenses, and so much more. We hope you will support our request and reconsider these proposed budget cuts as our services are ESSENTIAL and NECESSARY.

Commissioner Jim SchoBll, Dear Honorable Commissioners, I'm writing to you today snot orally as the Deputy Director of Samuell's House, but as someone who has walked aIloingside women and fami ies duiring tlheliir darkest Ihouirs, Ilistenling to their stoir9ies, Ih6l6ing their fears, and witnessing firsthand how hope can be restored when our coimmunlity wiralps its arms around those liin crisis. Samuell's House, aIloing with mainy sister agencies funded through the Humain Services Advisory IBoard (HSAlE3), has been quietly and consistently dolling the work that transforms hives and streingtheins the fabric of Monroe County. We are snot merelly inonlprofit organizations...........we are the first reslpoinders to the social, emotioii and economic emergencies that too often go unseen. The (proposed s0% out to HSAlE3 fundling is snot just a Nil shift, it's a seismic (blow to the stability of the veiny Iprogiraims that (keep faimilllies (housed, women safe, and the disabled and elldeiriy supported with dlignlity. These are snot Iluxuries. These are Illifelllines. We understand the County is facing fiisoall challlleinges. We are all iting difficult waters. However, cutting HSAlE3 fundling liin half irisks uiniravellliing years of coBllalboirative (progress and places a fair greater fiinaii Ibuirdein on systems aIliready stretched tlhlin. When (prevention is underfunded, crisis costs irise tlhirouglh liincreased ER visits, (law enforcement linvollveiment, school liiity,job (loss, and Ihoimellessiness. These ripple effects are snot tlheoireticall. They are imeasuirable. And they are deeply Ihuimain. Saimuell's House joins otlheirs liin asking the County to consider a compromise: a 2 s% reduction liin HSAlE3 fundling for FY 2025-2026, iratlheir than the (proposed 50%. T`Ms wound allow us to Ipreseirve the vital liinfirastructuire ineeded to imeet growing ineeds, while still aclknowlledgliing the County's Ibudgetairy ireallities. 1 Our dients doin't have Ilobbylists.

Dear County Commissioners, I am urging you to reconsider the 50%cuts you have planned for the agencies that care for our community's most vulnerable people such as MARC House,AHMonroe and AHEC. This kind of shortfall cannot be made up in fundraising, especially not in the short term. Local government is supposed to see to the benefit of its constituents. Do you care about your constituents? You are being very shortsighted, as you will end up paying for their care anyway and in a more expensive manner,for example when they go to the emergency room instead AHEC. In addition, cutting budgets for culture and arts is just so narrow-minded.These are very important to our enrichment. These cuts do not represent what 1, as one of your constituents, support.

I Support County Funding for Local Non-Profits III CAUTION Commissioner, I appreciate your response. Please consider that Monroe County has seen mismanagement of funds for years, I believe we will see more clarity on exactly how much once final audits are complete. It is also surprising that the County decided to be so reliant on FEMA for hurricane relief and recovery considering the slow response of that agency to process financial support after Wilma & Irma. Our county is located in a region that is subject to increased threats of storms, why wouldn't we have a reserve fund set up before? These are decisions that were made by past and current commissions. Instead of trying to correct the budget with significant cuts to organizations that our community depends on, the commission could raise property taxes, it could be more aggressive with illegal rentals and seasonal visitors claiming homestead exemption, it could do many other things to support the budget that would require more action and effort. I was born and raised in the Keys and have worked in government offices here. I understand you have difficult decisions to make in your position and I really do appreciate whatyou do for this community. But please, don't take the "easy" way out with this budget dilemma. This decision will have ripple effects for the entire County and your constituents. I'm copyingyour fellow commissioners for transparency. I reside in district 1.

Thank you for serving on a Board. 1 too sit on one of the Boards on the HSAB list. 1 also volunteer in my community with children's organizations such as Take Stock, Rotary and the Guardian ad Litem Program, I also attend and donate to most of the fundraisers up and down the Keys. As a local government, our first responsibility is to protect the county's financial health so we can continue delivering essential services to our residents. This year,with potential FEMA funding changes, economic uncertainty, and rising operating expenses we made some difficult choices— tightening our belts now to prevent a mid-year budget crisis. While HSAB funding is not a required mandate, it is an investment in our community's well-being that we value. The Commission choose to preserve half the funding, resisting calls to move more money into hurricane reserves or to reduce the millage, so that important community programs can continue. We are constantly asked to keep taxes low, prepare for storms, operate efficiently, and improve quality of life—all at the same time.Within that balancing act,we worked hard to keep HSAB funded, even at a reduced level, because we recognize the impact these organizations have on our community.

Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Commissioner Jim SchoH, Dear County Commissioners and County Administrators, II have spent the (last 20 years working with hundreds of nonprofits liin Monroe County, on streingtlhenling their organizations through strategic Ipllannling, board governance, devellopmeint and communications. II can tell you what they do, how well they do it, how Ihaird they have to work to iraise the funds and Iprovide those services, and how much those serves are urgently ineeded liin our communlity. Dnllilke other counties, we DO NOT have duplication of services amoing Iprovlideirs. We are fortunate liin that our inoinlprofits are Iiincredlibly collaborative and have woven togetlheir a patchwork safety inet that Iprovides esseii services to working familllies, senliors, those with disabilities liin our communlity. The Ipeople our inonlprofits serve are YOUR ineliglhlboirs, as well as mine. Except for the grace of God, it might be you or me or a familly member who ineeds these inonlprofit services. Its that realllly what we ineed to cut? II don't tlhliink it is. II tlhliink we can fund sometlhling else to cut liin the budget. II irealllize you have tough decisions, but (please, II am asking that you do snot Iballaince the Ibudget on the Ibacks on the very folllks that ineed your Ileadershlip and these services the most. In mainy nations, modern governments fund 100 Iperceint of these services to support its residents. In our nation, we expect inonlprofits (funded by Iphlillainthropists) to do that, with limited Nil cointrlibutioins from taxpayers tlhirouglh government giraints. Nonprofits CANNOT take on this ireslpoinsibiVlity aIloine and the iinvestment of taxpayer moiney is required.

Dear Honorable Mayor Jim Scholl&Commissioner Craig Cates, I'm writing to you not only as the new Fundraising& Event Lead Coordinator for Samuel's House, Inc.—a 25-year-old, well-established nonprofit in Monroe County—but also as someone whose life was directly impacted by its services. Before joining the organization, I received critical support from Samuel's House while navigating a domestic violence situation with my daughter's father. That support included financial assistance to prevent eviction during a time of hardship, and—most importantly—the assurance that there was a safe place to turn if our situation worsened. Attached you will find my letter requesting that the proposed 50% cut to HSAB funding be reconsidered and reduced to 25% instead. I would be glad to answer any questions or share further insight into how Samuel's House services made a tangible difference in my life and continue to do so for countless others in our community. Thankyou foryour time and consideration, and for recognizing the impact a 50% cut would have on our county, its residents, and the nonprofit organizations whose staff dedicate their professional lives to serving the most vulnerable among us.As Key West's motto reminds us—One Human Family—together we must protect and care for those facing extenuating circumstances.

Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Dear County Commissioners and County Administrators, I am writing to you regarding the upcoming County Budget cuts to the 29 agencies that have been awarded funding through the Human Services Board (HSAB).These nonprofits and the services they provide are an ESSENTIAL part of the county budget,while I understand that there are many cuts in the budget, I propose that the HSAB cut be only 25%.The affected agencies provide vital services that are essential and necessary. No one else does what they do. A 50%cut to these agencies would mean that many of these vital services will go away. A cut will also mean loss of State and Federal funds that are met as match to the County funds. Together that amounts to over 2 million dollars brought into the County from outside sources. Studies show preventative care and core services have a significant return on investment. Cutting them will cost more later in ER visits, increased homeless residents, parents having to pay for day services to keep theirjobs and other preventable crises. Without these services,there will be more burden on taxpayers, not less. Respectfully, I ask that you reconsider and amend the budget to reflect a 25%decrease in the HSAB awards. Please protect HSAB funding so our community can stay healthy and thrive. I believe these are tax dollars well spent.

Learn why this is important CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the County. Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Good afternoon, I am writing regarding the upcoming County Budget cuts to HSAB funding. The HSAB funding is essential part of the county budget, while it is understandable that most items in the budget are getting cut, a 50% cut to these agencies would be devastating. I would like the commission to consider a 25% cut to HSAB funding. Since a 50% cut would mean many of the vital services provided will go away. As an example the suggested 50% cut would mean a loss of over 2 million dollars brought into the county from State and Federal matching funds. Please keep in mind that a 25%cut will still mean a loss of State and Federal funds that are met as match to the county funds for HSAB. The community does not have the resources to fundraise the way out of a 50% decrease in the HSAB grants. The affected agencies provide services that are essential for health &safety of Monroe County's children, low-income families and disabled population. Maintaining the HSAB funding is especially imperative during a storm emergency when the population looks towards those agencies for assistance with food, utilities, and housing as part of recovery. Studies have shown preventative care and core services have a significant return on investment. Cutting them will cost more later in ER visits, lost jobs, increased homeless residents, parents having to pay for day services for the disabled and preventable crises. This in turn creates a larger burden on taxpayers. In closing I respectfully request the commission reconsider and amend the budget to reflect a 25% decrease in the HSAB grants.

Dear Mr. Scholl, We have met several times over the 25 years I have been living here, and I am grateful for all that you do for our community. I have had the good fortune to work with many of the businesses and non profit organizations on the island in my time here and I have been extremely grateful for the work our organizations do to help people in need. AH Monroe, DAS, SOS, Habitat for Humanity and so many others, are the lynchpins to our community. I know you are aware that according to the ALICE report more than 40% of our residents live under the poverty line. In a community of such opulence, people literally don't have enough to eat. Our HSAB funding is a large part of what enables our organizations to do their work and help our community. Please do not cut the funding. Our island's greatest asset is our people. We simply can't afford to do any less for them. Thank you.

Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Commissioner, I am writing to you regarding the Monroe County Budget and the proposed reduction to the Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB)funding. I know HSAB funding is not simply a line item, it is a critical investment in the health, safety, and stability of our community's friends and neighbors.This includes our clients living in transitional housing and those living with HIV,as well as thousands of other residents from Key West to Key Largo. While I understand that the County must navigate financial constraints and make tough decisions,a 50%cut to HSAB would have devastating consequences.These funds support critical services such as: • Medical care for people with chronic conditions • Prenatal care for uninsured mothers • Dental services for children • Afterschool programs for working families • Nutritous Food These are not duplicative or non-essential programs. If this funding cut happens,these services will go away and there will be gaps in care in our community.These county dollars often serve as matching funds,drawing down millions of additional state and federal dollars into Monroe County. Public health research consistently shows that preventative care yields a high return on investment. Reducing this investment into the care of our residents today will result in higher costs tomorrow:emergency room visits, homelessness, and increased burdens on local law enforcement and hospital systems. Finally,these programs don'tjust serve"others."They support our friends, neighbors,employees, and families-tax-paying residents who rely on these 29 non-profits to stay housed, healthy,and continue to be productive members of our community. I respectfully ask that you reconsider the depth of the proposed cut and instead amend the budget to reflect a 25%reduction to HSAB funding in FY 25-26,with an opportunity to reassess the program in the following fiscal year. The well-being of our community depends on thoughtful decisions like this one. 1 Thank you for your service and your consideration.

Please accept my sincere apology should you or any of the board members view this email as out-of- line, as that is definitely not my intention. This is merely to ask that you all table this matter, again, and reconsider full funding. As you're aware, Boys &Girls Clubs obtain the majority of our revenue through donations and grants. Larger Clubs depend on 21 st Century funding,which pays teacher salaries for the majority of their employees. On the donor side, again, those larger Clubs receive substantial monies (hundreds of thousands - millions). These aren't corporate funds, these are board member contributions.A new Boys &Girls Club was recently built in Martin County, and it is an awesome space! The gymnasium alone cost $3 million (donated by a board member). What these Clubs may not receive in grant funding in 2026 and thereafter, will be compensated in heavy donor support. For now, our Club will continue to receive DOE funding for programs, which is the bulk of our revenue. We have more teens than we've had in years, and families pay no fee for teens.We have allowed families that are ELC eligible to keep their kids at our Club, although we receive no form of payment from ELC.We transport our members from school to the Club- a service we do not charge an extra fee for.We're a small Club,yet we inspire our kids to imagine larger than what's in front of them. Yes, we do receive donor support.We have a dedicated supporter, who donates$20 monthly.And, another that donates$200 monthly. While we do receive other donations, we do not receive the consistent substantial dollar donor support that will sustain us should the HSAB grant be cut. The Boys &Girls Club has relied on this grant in order to maintain its financial stability. Counties throughout the state of Florida are continuing to support their local Boys &Girls Clubs, and it is my hope that Monroe County will do the same, as your help is greatly depended on. I thank you for your time.

Dear Commissioner Scholl As a resident of Monroe County and a board member of the Florida Keys Children's Shelter, I am writing to respectfully urge you to oppose the proposed cuts to Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB) funding. These funds are essential to our ability to provide critical, no-cost services—including the only licensed emergency shelter for children in Monroe County, Project Lighthouse drop-in center, school- based counseling, and the new Transitional Living Program supporting young adults aging out of foster care. Each year, over 500 youth rely on us for safe shelter, meals, counseling, life-skills education, case management, and a supportive environment. These services are the cornerstone of safety, stability, and opportunity for vulnerable children and their families in the Florida Keys. Eliminating or reducing HSAB funding would seriously threaten these lifelines, increasing risks of homelessness, untreated mental health challenges, and long-term hardship—issues that ultimately place greater strain on our entire community. With the BOCC meeting approaching next Wednesday, I urge you to preserve HSAB funding and continue your investment in the future of our children and the resilience of our island communities.

Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Dear Commissioners, I am writing to you regarding the upcoming County Budget cuts to MARC funding and the Human Services Board Funding.(HSAB) The Human Services Advisory Board Funding is an ESSENTIAL part of the county budget, while I understand that most items in the budget are getting cut, I propose that the HSAB cut be only 25%. The affected agencies provide vital services that are essential and necessary. No one else does what they do.A 50% cut to these agencies would mean that many of these vital services will go away. For MARC that means a $103,000 cut. No fundraising can bring in those dollars. A cut will also mean loss of State and Federal funds that are met as match to the County funds. Together that amounts to over 2 million dollars brought into the County from outside sources. Studies show preventative care and core services have a significant return on investment. Cutting them will cost more later in ER visits, increased homeless residents, parents having to pay for day services for the disabled in order to keep theirjobs and other preventable crises,.Without these services, there will be more burden on taxpayers, not less HSAB matters, health, children, disabled populations, and safety all matter and this funding helps to provide these services. The community does not have the resources to fundraise our way out of a 50% decrease in HSAB grants. Respectfully, I ask that you reconsider and amend the budget to reflect a 25% decrease in the HSAB. Support the work that helps us be a good community.

Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderidentification ] CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the County. Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. I was so surprised to read of the proposed 50%cuts to the HSAB proposed funding allocations.This seems so wrong on so many levels. First, if this massive cut was contemplated, it should have been announced well ahead of time so these essential organizations could have started searching for alternate funding. I simply cannot imagine how the commission would cut funding on such short notice to MARC and Womankind and many other impactFul organizations providing essential services throughout the Keys. Simply from an administrative perspective, it seems that the HSAB should know how much funding will be allocated before they make recommendations on the funding amounts. Perhaps they should meet to review requests and make recommendations AFTER the funding amount is determined so that they can better prioritize recommended funding levels based upon need snd community impact. I implore you to not make the drastic cuts in the funding for the upcoming budget year. Give these organizations reasonable time to find other funding sources and for the HSAB representatives to make informed decisions. Thank you for your attention and for your service to our community.

This year is the most challenging budget preparation challenge I've seen in all my years of government service. We continue looking at budget adjustment options prior to our two budget hearings in September. Several State and Federal restrictions coupled with potential decreases in prior government funding impact our flexibility. I cannot make any commitment other than it maybe possible restore some portion of the current proposed funding reductions.

Dear Mr. Scholl, We have met several times over the 25 years I have been living here, and I am grateful for all that you do for our community. I have had the good fortune to work with many of the businesses and non profit organizations on the island in my time here and I have been extremely grateful for the work our organizations do to help people in need. AH Monroe, DAS, SOS, Habitat for Humanity and so many others, are the lynchpins to our community. I know you are aware that according to the ALICE report more than 40% of our residents live under the poverty line. In a community of such opulence, people literally don't have enough to eat. Our HSAB funding is a large part of what enables our organizations to do their work and help our community. Please do not cut the funding. Our island's greatest asset is our people. We simply can't afford to do any less for them. Thank you.
