Staff are recommending the approval to extend the Emergency Solutions Grant contract in an effort to spend all of the ESG CARES funding. Staff is also requesting Genesee County Board of Commissioners Chairperson Ellen Ellenburg to sign the attached contract amendment.
BACKGROUND:
For Program Year 2022, Catholic Charities was awarded $60,872 of ESG-CV funds for Emergency Shelter Operations activities.
