46. CONTRACT WITH ARIZONA COMMUNITY ACTION ASSOCIATION FOR RENT AND MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE Approve a Contract between Arizona Community Action Association (ACAA) and Maricopa County through the Human Services Department, in the not-to-exceed amount of $13,000. The purpose of this Contract is to provide funding for the rent and mortgage assistance program. The term of this Contract is from July 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010. The Human Services Department current negotiated DHHS indirect rate for FY 2009-10 is 16.2%, while the actual indirect rate is 18%. The total grant funds is $13,000 of which $13,000 are directed toward direct payments and are not subject to indirect charges. Therefore, the estimated recoverable indirect is $0. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through a future reconciliation. The grant is from the Community Funding Collaborative for Community Action Agencies and will not impact the County general fund. This funding deviates from the Maricopa County Policy for Administering Grants (A2505) which requires all departments/special districts to obtain Board of Supervisors approval prior to submitting an application for funding. The Arizona Community Action Association identified the Maricopa County Human Services Department as a recipient of these funds without an application process, in addition, this Contract is advanced funding from the Arizona Community Action Association, therefore, we are requesting Board of Supervisor approval to accept these funds.
