A resolution to approve a budget adjustment in the total amount of $436,285.00 recognizing and appropriating CARES Act supplemental funding for Community Development Block Grant Programs related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
– Pass 8-0

Background:

$200,000 – To provide rental/utility/supplies assistance to low/moderate income residents in Fayetteville that have been affected by COVID-19. This will be an internal program to assists individuals and families that were maintaining a living situation and are now at risk of losing their housing or being unable to pay for their utility needs due to the economic situation. City staff said they have the capacity to provide the administration of this program and case management, and that no administration costs will be pulled from this funding.

Remaining funding will be used for non-profits and churches that are providing direct services to those in need in the following categories:

$100,000 – To provide assistance to unsheltered homeless individuals in Fayetteville with isolation/quarantine services/needs/supplies as a result of COVID-19.
