The General Funds in pages
1429-1431 are used to help provide the required match for these three programs
needed to access over $1.7m in federal funds from the Corporation for National
and Community Services. These are
invaluable programs for the safety net for children, elders, and community
nonprofits. Over 4,000 volunteers
participate throughout the state and their contribution measured in dollars is
conservatively estimated at $5.5m for 2008.
It would be a great loss
and irrational to risk the loss of the federal funds and the great benefit of
these programs to both communities and seniors by failing to appropriate
slightly over $300,000 per year.
Add to the Governor’s
Budget for these three programs $328,625 for FY 2010 and $339,625 for FY 2011
allocated per the chart above. This
will fund each program at the Maintenance levels requested by BEAS.
