Title
Budget Adjustment: Office of Regional Development’s Request to Recognize $19,539,035 in Revenue and Related Expenses to Rental Assistance and Housing Stability
Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: This budget adjusts the overall ERAP 2 total from $9,297,047 to a total of $29,052,933.80 which is Salt Lake County's full ERAP 2 allocation. Salt Lake County is spending an average of $1M to $1.5M each week, and the $9M dollar budget passed for 2022 will not keep up with demand. Major Budget changes include direct assistance increase from $9M to $21M. The addition of a $450K advertising budget, to supplement the state's advertising and provide targeted advertising to neighborhoods we plan to canvass. The addition of 4 additional temporary employees to knock doors and book appointments with potential applicants, and the technological costs associated with the additional staff. We also added an additional grant program to provide housing stability services as we see evictions across the county rise to pre-pandemic levels.
