BUDGET NARRATIVE <br />1. Funding Utilization: Describe how the funds will be used to support the proposed <br />project. For example, will the funds be used for staff time, supplies, consultants, <br />contractors, construction costs, direct customer services, etc.? (250 words max.) <br />Funds will be utilized to provide direct services to low-income seniors over the age of sixty-five <br />with permanent housing support and supportive services to assist in managing their daily lives. <br />Some funds will be used to partially support case managers activity in providing assessment, <br />stability planning, referrals to needed supports, and one-on-one educational support in life <br />skills. A portion of the funds will be utilized for program support for case management staff and <br />overall program administration. Program Administration will equal 9% with 75% dedicated to <br />direct services, 13% to staff activity and 3% to operational costs. Staff activity and program <br />operations will be supported with funding leveraged from other non -county funding sources. <br />Direct client service will total $93,840.00 and non -administrative staff will total $15,987.00 in <br />the first grant year. Requested increases will address standard annual COLA (cost of living <br />adjustment) of 3% plus additional increases in rents anticipated due to lack of housing <br />availability. <br />2. Other Support: Describe any monetary, in-kind, donations, grants, or other types of <br />support that will be used for the project. Include both guaranteed support and support <br />that may still be uncertain. (250 words max.) <br />Funding for staff activity and program operation for this program will be augmented using <br />funds from various federal, state and private grants. CHG funds are currently and could be <br />continually used for addressing senior homelessness and stabilization. One of our private <br />partners, Crestview, has a cash allotment paid to us for case management of their qualifying <br />senior tenants. The private contract between Crestview and HopeSource is renegotiated and <br />renewed annually. HopeSource also has community donated funds to be used to augment <br />senior stability and case management from the Upper County Fund and Mercer Creek Church. <br />13 <br />
