March 8, ]982 Dear County D~rector off Social Serwces: Subject: Reallocation of Crisis Intervention and Administrative Funds Last ~eek, the Division was notified that Congress'had appropriated funds under the L~w Income Energy Assistance Grant for the full amount that was proposed under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, $1.85 b~11ion. Based on the increased appropriation, the Division has determined that an additional amouot should be made available to counties immediately for crisis intervention. The amount determined ~o be available for additional crisis intervention is $1,455,549. These funds will be bvailable through September 30, 1982. ]n accordance ~ith tl~e block grant regulations, an amount up to (but not ~o exceed) 10~ of fuods appropriated can be used for administration. Therefore, in accordance with these regulations, 10~ of the available resources, or $145,555 w~]] be ellocated to counties for administration. The balance remaining for cr~s~s intervention payments w~]l be $1,309,99~. Since we recognize that counties will incur administrative costs in accepting and using these additional funds through September 30, 1982, the allocation of administrative funds must be made i~ accordance with the allocation of crisis ~ntervent~o~ funds. Any county accepting but not expending these cris~s intervention funds will be expected to re~t not onl~ the unexpended portioh of its crisis inter~ vention allocation, but also the same proportionate share of its administrative alloca- tion for these funds. We feet confident, however, that counties can establish a long-range crisis intervention progra~ through September 30, ]982 that will enable them to effectively utilize'the funds. As listed below, we are ~roviding you with y6ur county's share of the ne~ allocation of crisis interventio~ and administrative funds for use through September 30, 1982. Please notif~ this office by Hatch 26, 1982 of ~our intentions to either accept or decline the new allocation. Any funds returned w~]l be reallocated shortly thereafter. The worksheet below reflects your base al]ocation as provided to yon on November 13, ]98! in addition to the ~e~ allocation. Counties can acquire these funds through the normal reimbursement process (DSS-15711 or via the DSS-6919, requisition of funds process to allow funds ~o be on hand at the time of d~sbursement. ~e will certainly appreciate your assistance in this matter. Please call our office if you or your staff have any questions.
