FISCAL IMPACT:

This Agreement is federally funded through the State Department of Community Services and Development. Funding for this Agreement will be included in the Department’s FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11 budgets. There is no net County cost to this contract.

BACKGROUND:

This proposed 27-month agreement between the County and the State Department of Community Services and Development provides funding for the County’s Community Action program to weatherize the dwellings of low-income County individuals and families and provide training and professional development for energy and green jobs and outreach. The funds are for the period of July 1, 2009, through September 30, 2011. The purpose of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is to stimulate the economy and create and retain jobs through the infusion of $5 billion funding.
