The Core Group met this afternoon and tried to synthesize the feedback we received on the proposed budget at last Friday’s WMIC meeting. This next draft is attached below.
We plan to send our final proposed budget to the ICHH tomorrow by noon. Bob Pulster has scheduled a conference call with the PVPC, the Core Group and Lynne Wallace (Leadership Council Chair) for Wednesday morning to talk through the budget and scope in order to generate a contract.
If you have additional concerns, please indicate them in the comments or by communication with one or more of the Core Group members (Liz Sullivan, DMH; Yasmin Otero, DTA; Peg Keller, City of Northampton; Dave Christopholis, BCAC; Gerry McCafferty, City of Springfield). Please note the tight deadline: noon on Tues., Feb. 3.
Based on the comments received on the budget, we have taken out some of the specificity regarding the programs. We hope this will allow for specifics to be filled in and perhaps vary by vendors as the money is distributed throughout the region. In addition, we think that more of the specifics may be filled in through vendors’ recommendations for the structure of a mini-RFR or other method for distribution of the funds throughout the region.
The budget proposal includes the following:
Individuals
REACH services for 23 Tier 4 participants: $243,800; REACH services for 15 Tier 3 participants: $119,750
Families
Prevention & Rapid ReHouse services & funding for 100-200 families: $384,000
REACH Services for 8 Tier 4 families: $150,000
