BACKGROUND: HUD Little Rock Field Office approached the City of Fayetteville to prevent the loss of grant funds that support our most vulnerable population of individuals, families, and veterans who are experiencing homelessness. The grants were previously administered by Seven Hills Homeless Center. Seven Hills Homeless Center's Executive Director provided HUD with a written notice on July 17, 2015 stating that Seven Hills Homeless Center could no longer administer HUD's homeless program due to the agency's financial situation. On September 15, 2015, per resolution 170-15, the City Council approved the SNAP grant agreement for Grant # AR0038L6F011301 in the amount of $115, 271. DISCUSSION: SNAP Grant # AR0038L6F011301 is now expired. In order to meet the grant program goals, SNAP Grant # AR00381-61`011402 in the amount of $188,525 must be executed so the funds may be drawn from the funding system. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: The current budget for Grant # AR0038L6F011301 is $115,271. With the approval of the grant agreement for Grant # AR0038L6F011402, the budget would increase to $188,525.
