RE: Approval of a request to record a Notice of Award approving a Non-Federal Share Waiver for the 2024-2025 Head Start Program Year from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
The Genesee County Community Action Resource Department (GCCARD) requests authorization from this committee to record a Notice of Award from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) approving the Head Start and Early Head Start Non-Federal Share Waiver in the amount of $1,593,511.00, with recommendation of approval by the full Genesee County Board of Commissioners at their next regularly scheduled meeting.
BACKGROUND:
Approval to submit a non-federal share waiver application to the ACF for grant award 05CH012299-02-02, which ran from July 01, 2024, to June 30, 2025, was approved by the Board of Commissioners via RES-2025-1396. A non-federal share match of $3,319,815.00 was originally required to meet funding requirements of this grant award.
DISCUSSION:
GCCARD is requesting that this non-federal share waiver application be placed on record as having been approved by the ACF. This Notice of Award has reduced the non-federal share match requirement for grant award 05CH012299-02-02 by 52%, allowing GCCARD Head Start to meet funding requirements, accounting for a deficit of donated items, space, or volunteer hours from lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and persistent economic challenges in Genesee County.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
There will be no impact on Human Resources.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
The required non-federal share match has been reduced by 52% from $3,319,815.00 to $1,593,511.00.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
There will be no impact on facilities.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
