RE: Transfer from Reserve for Council Amendment to Presbyterian Homes & Family Services, Inc. within Outside Agencies
ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To amend Ord. No. 2025-057, adopted May 12, 2025, which adopted the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 General Fund Budget and made appropriations thereto, by transferring $50,000 from “Outside Agencies: Reserve for Council Amendment” and appropriating such transferred funds to “Presbyterian Homes & Family Services, Inc.” to support family crisis funding.
BACKGROUND: During Council deliberations, the remaining $50,000 could not be allocated to a specific purpose and was therefore placed in reserve. Council has since determined that these funds shall be appropriated to Presbyterian Homes & Family Services, Inc., to support the Family Crisis Fund, which provides assistance to residents experiencing financial hardship.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL: This appropriation aligns with the City of Richmond’s strategic initiatives to strengthen community well-being, enhance family stability, and expand support for residents experiencing financial vulnerability.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
