BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The County has received applications from twenty-four (24) not for profit agencies requesting grants and aid funding for FY 2021. Four (4) of the applications received are for services mandated by Florida Statue and include a request for funding increase in the amount of $11,295.85 for New Horizons of the Treasure Coast, Inc. Four (4) applications are for current County Service Contracts and include a previously negotiated increase in the amount of $11,321.98 for the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast. Four (4) of the applications are new requests for funding totaling $169,000.
Staff is recommending award of grants at the FY 2020 funding level with the exception of New Horizons of the Treasure Coast, the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast and Dori Slosberg Driver Education.
New Horizons of the Treasure Coast is requesting a 3% increase ($11,295.82) to help offset the cost of additional outpatient therapy staff. In the past year, New Horizons has seen a consistent increase in the demand for therapy services at the Stuart Outpatient office. In order to meet this demand, New Horizons is in the process of adding an additional licensed therapist to their staff.
The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast is in the fourth funding year of a previously negotiated contract. FY2020-FY2021 includes an approved $11,321.98 increase. This Contract expires in September 2021.
Dori Slosberg Driver Education is mandated by Florida Statute and is funded by fees collected from civil traffic penalties. Funds are available for driver education programs in public and nonpublic schools. Staff is recommending a reduction in funding for FY2021. The recommended funding is reflective of anticipated fees collected.
