American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)
Over the next three years, the Human Services Agency will receive and administer several new sources of federal funding through the economic stimulus legislation adopted by Congress in February 2009. These include:
- An estimated $28 million in funding through the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund (ECF) to create subsidized employment opportunities and provide enhanced benefits for CalWORKs and other low-income families. Using these funds, HSA has created the JOBS NOW! program. If you are interested in participating in the JOBS NOW! program, click the links below for more information.
- $8.7 million in funding for a new Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program (HPRP), which will provide outreach and assessment, rental assistance, housing subsidies, case management, housing stabilization and legal services to households at risk of homelessness, as well as rapid rehousing assistance for households who are homeless as defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
- $30 million in increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) funds to offset local General Fund costs in the In-Home Supportive Services Program.
- $4.5 million in increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) funds to offset local General Fund costs in the Child Welfare Services Program.
