We <br />arrived at that amount using the funding formula in the Inter-local Agreement and we have attached <br />the spreadsheet showing the calculation of the formula. <br /> <br />This funding request is $21,158 more than the allocation for 2022-2023, a 9.6% increase. The majority of <br />this increase is due to the addition of a staff member specifically dedicated to Education and Outreach <br />activities at CHT and rises in costs of operations due to inflation. In FY 2021-2022 we reduced funding by <br />2% and FY 22-23 we requested a 4% increase based on the challenges posed by the pandemic. <br /> <br />Please note that our funding request does not include any funding for the rental housing work we do <br />at Glen Lennox or at the Landings at Winmore. <br /> <br />Included with this request for your review are: <br />• Community Home Trust’s 2023-2024 Annual Work Plan <br />• Community Home Trust’s 2023-2024 operating budget and program budget <br />• 2023-2024 Local Government Support Calculations <br /> <br />We are very grateful for the support of Orange County as we work to increase and preserve the stock of <br />affordable housing in Orange County. If you need additional information from us, we are happy to <br />discuss. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Kimberly Sanchez <br />Kimberly Sanchez <br />Executive Director <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: D1E776EB-C52A-4B25-8273-2746F74AE36E
