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. As part of this move, the Emergency Food and Shelter Grant Program administered in Fund No. 13001 in the Human Services Special Revenue Fund Series under the expending authority of the Executive Director of Human Services is transferring to Fund No. 16001, another Federal Grants Fund, in the Community Development Special Revenue Fund Series. The Executive Director of HOST will be the expending authority of Fund No. 16001 and the cost center associated with the grant will be 0145100.

 

Transferring the Emergency Food and Shelter grant program from DHS to HOST administration may require financial transactions or other administrative actions to complete the transition in the City’s financial system of record.
