Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.

As a part of the creation of the Department of Housing Stability (HOST) in the 2020 Budget, funding that supports staffing and programs dedicated to individuals experiencing homelessness is moving from Denver Human Services (DHS) to HOST. This fund was previously managed by Denver Human Services and serves as a vehicle for receiving public donations to support homeless services.

 

This ordinance establishes a new Homeless Services Donations Fund, Fund No. 16703, in the Community Development Special Revenue Fund Series, which will be administered by HOST. The cost center will be 0145100. The fund is cash-basis and non-lapsing.

 

This ordinance also authorizes the transfer of the cash balance from the current Homeless Services Donations Fund in the Human Services Special Revenue Fund Series, Fund No. 13704. The cash balance in Fund 13704 is currently approximately $652,000. The amount transferred to the new Homeless Services Donations Fund (16703), may be adjusted in 2020 based on transactions that occur between now and year-end close.

 

Additionally, the Human Services Homeless Services Donations Fund in the Human Services Special Revenue Fund Series will be closed when all aforementioned transactions are complete.
