Title
Joint resolution approving an emergency appropriation of $2,951 for Fiscal Year 2025 and accepting additional funding from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services Intensive Placement Stabilization Grant.
Staff Summary
• The Health Department received $2,951 in additional grant funding for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, which was not previously appropriated because the grant resources were approved after the County’s adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget.
• This grant provides short-term, individualized support to help children and youth in foster care maintain stable placements and prevent disruptions during times of transition or crisis.
• The grant is used to offset existing staff salary and fringe benefits.
• If funding for the positions and services end, and new funding is not secured, the positions and services will be eliminated.
