Background:
The State of Florida Department of Commerce (Florida Commerce) formerly known as the Department of Economic Opportunity provides Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) funding to Seminole County. The contract specifies that the CSBG funding must be delivered to low-income County residents and provide a range of services and activities having a measurable and potentially major impact on poverty.
On March 9, 2021, Florida Commerce and Seminole County entered into Subgrant Agreement Number E2022 (the “Umbrella Agreement”). The Umbrella Agreement was subsequently amended on June 29, 2023. Florida Commerce and Seminole County now mutually seek to amend and reinstate the Umbrella Agreement through this Amended and Restated Agreement. The term of this agreement is July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. Seminole County has been notified the annual award for the State FY 24-25 is $310,725.
Florida Commerce has updated its subgrant agreement to enhance the accountability, transparency, and oversight of Florida's CSBG, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) subrecipient network. This umbrella subgrant agreement serves as a contract between Seminole County and Florida Commerce and outlines each partner's roles and responsibilities.
Requested Action:
Staff requests the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the First Amendment and Restated Federally Funded Subgrant Umbrella Agreement between The Florida Department of Commerce and Seminole County in the amount of $310,725 to benefit a range of services in areas of poverty in Seminole County.
