64. IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR COMMUNITY ACTION SERVICES PROGRAM Approve a financial Intergovernmental Agreement (Agreement) between Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) and Maricopa County, administered by its Human Services Department (County). DES provides funding to the County for administration of Community Action Program (CAP) Services (Program). The purpose of the Agreement is for County to provide broad-ranging programs and services in rural and urban areas that are intended to pursue the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low-income communities and the empowerment of low-income families and individuals to become fully self-sufficient. The Human Services Department administers the Program to provide eligible low-income residents with eviction prevention services, rent, and utility assistance. The term of the Agreement shall begin on July 1, 2025, and end on June 30, 2030. DES shall provide the County with $791,450.45 Funding period of availability shall begin on State Fiscal Year (SFY) July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Funding for future fiscal year terms or funding increases shall be provided on an annual basis or as funding increases become available and will be awarded via Amendments to the IGA. DES contracts with the County on an annual reoccurring, non-competitive basis for service delivery of the Community Action program activities. Receipt of funds from DES does not require in-kind or match funds and no future or ongoing contributions by the County are required at the end of the Agreement term. The services provided under this Agreement are not a mandated service but provide a benefit to the citizens by providing eligible low-income residents with community services which may include eviction prevention services, rent, and utility assistance. The Human Services Department approved indirect rate by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for FY2026 for salaries and employee related expenses is 24%. While the current Agreement funding amount is $791,450.45, $0 will be allocated for salaries and employee related expenses, however indirect costs are fully recoverable and will be reflected in future funding Amendments to the IGA. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. 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. Supervisory District: All (C-22-26-011-X-00)
