The Human Services Department FY2019 Indirect cost rate has not been fully negotiated, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has approved the use of the FY2018 indirect cost rate to be used. Therefore, the FY2019 indirect cost rate is 22.9% for salaries and employee related expenses. The total Agreement funds are $86,219 of which $6,378 is for salaries and benefits. The total recovered allowable indirect costs is $1,460.56.

This Agreement does not alter the budget constraining expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. Acceptance of this Agreement will not impact the County General Fund. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this Agreement through a future reconciliation. Maricopa County’s Weatherization Program is administered by the Human Services Department, Housing and Community Development Division. ADOH has been providing funding for the Weatherization Program on a non-competitive basis annually for over 10 years. The services to be provided under this Agreement are not a mandated function but provides a benefit to the citizens by providing assistance to low income residents by reducing their energy burden and improving health and safety concerns through Weatherization measures. The priority population for the Weatherization Assistance Program is persons who are particularly vulnerable such as the elderly, persons with disabilities, families with children, high residential energy users, and households with high-energy burdens. Receipt of the funds does not require in-kind of match funds and no future or ongoing contributions by the County at the end of the Agreement. Supervisory District: All (C-22-19-016-3-00)
