Cook, <br /> December 17, 1986 Direc~r <br /> <br />~MORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Blair Bennett, County Finance Off~ <br />FROM: Jim Cook, Social Service Director~(~ <br />SUBJECT: Attached Budget Amendment Request <br /> <br /> Attached is a budget emendmest request which would add $9090 in 100% <br />Federal funding to the Socia! Service budget for the Crisis Intervention <br />Program. I would like to ask that this amendment request be considered <br />by the Board of Co~issloners at its first January meeting. <br /> <br /> We ~ere recently advised that Cabarrus County is being allocated an <br />additional $9090 in Crisis Intervention Progra~ funds. We had previously <br />been allncated $~8,178 for 1984-8~. <br /> <br /> The Crisis Intervention Program ts a component of the Federal Low <br />Income Energy Assistance Program. It is desisned to provide help with <br />heating expenses to lo~ income families ~ho are experiencing a heating- <br />related emergency situation. Payments of up to $200 in any year can be <br />made to vendors in behalf of qualifying families to restore or prevent <br />interruption of home heating. <br /> <br /> The additional allocation brin~ to $~7~2&8 the amount of funding auail- <br />able for 1984-85. During 1983-86, expenses of $48,0~5 were incurred in <br />providing help under this program to 279 households. Tke additional <br />funding will thus in all likelihood be needed this year. <br /> <br /> Please advise me if I may provide additional information. <br /> <br /> Thank you. <br /> <br /> <br />
