OCT 3 1 200SW <br /> <br />CABARRUS COUNTY DEPT. SOCIAl. SERV. <br /> <br />Dear Jim, <br /> <br />I am writing in response to Your recent letter regarding the need for additional child care <br />subsidy funding for the current State Fiscal Year, Thank you for providing a written summary. <br />regarding your current funding situation. . <br /> <br />I am sorry to report that we ~an not commit to provide subsidy funding in the amount you <br />requested. We allocated all the funding that was available to the Division in August, 2005 with <br />, <br />the exception of about $500,QOO. Those funds are currently earmarked for subsidy services for <br />families who relocated to NOfth Carolina due to Hurricane Katrinaand need emergency child <br />care. <br /> <br />We will conduct a reversion ~ncl reallocation process once we have the expenditure data through <br />the service month of October but anticipate that there will be less than $1 million to revert and <br />reallocate. Your agency may qualify for a reallocation in late November but that can not be <br />determined until all the data!for the state is available. Inany case, we do not anticipate having <br />the amount offunding available that you indicated you need. <br /> <br />I appreciate your diligence tQ locate other funding sources. If you have not already done so, I <br />encourage you to determine if you have T ANF funds that can be utilized for child care for the <br />Work First families that are ~eceiving priority for services. In addition, you may screen the need <br />for child care for the children in the More at Four Programs to determine if subsidy payments <br />are needed beyond tlie More'at Four portion of the day. Kathy Davis, the Subsidy Services <br />Consultant assigned to your ~ounty is available to assist your staff with additional analysis of <br />payment options. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />'" <br /> <br />_\~. \~~\\.I-J,)".
