Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes an amendment to the 2021-2022 Dane CORE 2.0 Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) Program Contract with Meadowood Neighborhood Association/ Meadowood Health Partnership. The original contract funded 6 months of outreach and assistance services at $29,610. The organization has successfully utilized the funds it received and is requesting additional funds to continue providing services to help renter households access ERA Program funds. The resolution would increase the contract amount by $48,456, bringing the total contract amount to $78,066.
The City received $35m in ERA funding from the U.S. Treasury, made available under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (HR 133) (Legistar 68341). As of the 2022 first quarter expenditure report submitted to the U.S. Treasury, the City has obligated or expended $33.9m of ERA1 funds as of March 31, 2022. $1.1m remains unobligated. The unobligated funds are sufficient to fund the increase in the Meadowood contract. No additional appropriation is required.
