Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Community Development Block Grant Subrecipient Agreement with the Round Rock Area Serving Center in the amount of $397,375.00.
Body
Due to the continuing state of emergency and complications arising from COVID-19, the caseload of the Round Rock Area Serving Center has increased dramatically with requests for assistance with utilities. Not only Serving Center clients, but also people who are normally working and haven't asked for help before, have been impacted by the business closures and job cuts due to COVID-19. In order to not delay helping residents of Round Rock with assistance, we are asking that this agreement in the amount of $397.375.00 be approved.
The City tentatively plans to resume residential utility disconnects for non-payment in July. This will provide resources for residents in need of assistance from an agency well suited to handle and address those needs.
Cost: $397,375.00
Source of Funds: CDBG Funds
