IRC Heamy Stmt Coalition, Inc. <br /> 2003-04 Healthy Famdies - IRC <br /> UNIFORM GRANT APPLICATION <br /> EXPLANATION FOR VARIANCES OF 15% OR MORE <br /> TOTAL PROGRAM BUDGET <br /> AGENCY/PROGRAM NAME : IRC Healthy Start Coalition, Inc. = Healthy Families = IRC <br /> FUNDER: IRC BOCC-CSAC <br /> LINE ITEM EXPLANATION FOR VARIANCE <br /> #DN/0! <br /> #DN/01 <br /> #DIV/0! <br /> Local funding support from IRC BOCC-CSAC has been the same since 1998, at $40,000.00. These funds have been applied directly <br /> to the salaries and FICA for the Family Support Workers, and help with the madatory 25% local match, which last year brought in <br /> $294 ,985 to the community. In 2002-03, state funding from the parent HF agency, the Florida Ounce of Prevention, was cut by over <br /> 4.5 million dollars (due to the use of one time TANF funds the previous year, which was not replenished). This statewide Healthy <br /> Families funding deficit led to a local cut of $60,000.00 to the HF-IRC program. The Coalition was successful in securing an additional <br /> $ 14 ,000.00 in funding from the John's Island Community Service League (JICSL) and private donations for 2003/04 to enable the HF- <br /> IRC program to maintain the enfire staff, with no cuts that year. However, for 2003-04 , the State Healthy Families Florida (HFF) <br /> Advisory Committee-Indian River anticipated an increase in funding due to the expanded prevention services from the Florida Department of Children <br /> and Families. <br /> B-12 Continued: For this reason , the Coalition opted to not seek additional funding from JICSL for HF-IRC and instead applied for <br /> funding support for the TLC Newborn Program from John's Island. Unfortunately, due to the statewide budget shortfall, the increase in <br /> funds did not occur for HFF and the funding amount for HF-IRC is going to be the exact same as last year ($294,985.00). This is the <br /> reason for the funding increase of $ 15,000.00 from the IRC BOCC-CSAC, as well as increased salary expenses over the last two years <br /> #DN/01 for the HF-IRC staff, who have done a commendable job for the Fami Support Workers retention. <br /> #DN/01 <br /> #DN/0! <br /> #DN/0! <br /> #DN/01 <br /> #DN/0! <br /> #DN/0! <br /> #DN/0! <br /> #DIV/0! <br /> #DIV/01 <br /> #DNlO! <br /> #DIV/0 ! <br /> #DN/01 <br /> #DN/0! <br /> #DIV/0! <br /> #DIV/01 <br /> #DIV/0! <br /> As a means to help defer expenses for 2002-03 fiscal year, only nine percent administration fee of the Healthy Families Florida <br /> allocation was budgeted. For 2003-04 , the percentage administration fee is being increased by one percent to adequately support the <br /> Administrative Costs time and effort contributed by the IRC Healthy Start Coalition and CASTLE administration . <br /> #DN/0! <br /> #DIV/0! <br /> 20 <br />
