Context
The plan for 2015-2016 assumes the same funding level
as the current year; although the Governors’ plan requests
the legislature to restore 3% of previous cuts.
•This plan is built upon a system that received a number of cuts
over the last decade; culminating in a 10% cut the first year the
Block Grant was implemented.
•While the cost of living rose over that time, programs were
reduced anywhere from 10% to roughly 70% (HSDF).
•Some of these programs levels of allocations are miniscule
compared to the documented needs (HAP).
Context
Context Continued…
•We remain near the bottom compared to the other 66 counties in
most all these allocations when looked at on a per capita basis.
•Providers and staff should be applauded for maintaining
services in light of the previously mentioned. Many providers
received no increase or COLA during this time.
•We are a joinder for 4 of the 7 funds in the Block Grant. It is
only with the cooperation and collaboration with Fulton County
that we are able to make the Block Grant work for both
counties.
Context - Funding Types
The Block Grant comprises only part of the overall
funding for Human Services – only 7 specific fund types.
•CYS has only 1 program – Family Group Decision Making,
which is 1% of the total CYS budget.
•D&A has only treatment funds from DHS in the Block Grant,
which is less than half their total budget.
•HAP only amounts to $113,658, which barely touches the issue.
We use various other sources, including Churches and Veterans
services to try and help meet the overwhelming need.
•HSDF only has funding at about 30% of what it was 10 years
ago. Thus we spend our remaining allocation to educate and
LINK those in need to other resources through 211.
Context - HAP/HSDF
Homeless Assistance Program & Human Services
Department Fund
•Over the history of the Block Grant, we have used economies
and efficiencies to address areas of need in Homelessness and
Drug and Alcohol, as well as prevention in programs for youth,
with the money saved.
•Once we know the money saved in 2014-2015, the Block Grant
Committee will consider these and other areas of need to
reinvest in.
•This is only able to happen because of the flexibility of the
Block Grant!
