5 <br />3. County General Assistance -provides same assistance as CIP and TAN F- <br />EA <br />? Program Update: The same rules and limits apply to these funds as apply to <br />the Emergency Assistance through the Work First Block Grant. Work First <br />funds, however, can only be used for families with minor children whereas the <br />County General Assistance funds can be used for all populations. <br />Program Eligibility <br />¦ Family must meet an income test (130% of Poverty and asset limit of $1500) <br />¦ Family must be involved in an emergency situation as described above for <br />CIP and TANF-EA <br />Benefit Level: $100 per family per 6 months <br />4. Update: Guarantor Program - Last year the County established a <br />guarantor program with the utility providers. This allows the County to guarantee <br />payment of deposits if families default rather than paying the deposits to initiate <br />service. The County is released as the guarantor after the family establishes a <br />successful payment history with the utility company (usually 12 months). <br />Program Budgets and Expenditures <br />Program Budget <br />2000-2001 Expenditures <br />2000-2001 Budget <br />2001- <br />2002 Expenditures <br />2001-2002 <br />(thru 11101) Expenditures <br />2001-2002 <br />CIP $130,000 $276,626.77 $130,000 $22,792 $130,994 <br />TANF-EA $61,000 $ 83,368.70 $ 65,000 $62,968 $180.944 <br />GA $75,265 $116,126.55 $ 85,265 $67,886 $110,502 <br /> <br />TOTAL $266,265 $476,122.02 $280,265 $153,646 $422,220 <br />Program Budget <br />2001-2003 Expenditures <br />Nov 2002 Expenditures <br />2002-2003 <br />through 12/1 Projected <br />Expenditures <br />For FY 2003 <br />CIP $133,217 $28,054 $39,609 $133,217 <br />TAN F-EA <br />Work First <br />$ 65,000 <br />$ 6,868 <br />$42,741 <br />$100,000 <br />Count GA $ 85,265 $11,534 $31,259 $112,000 <br /> <br />TOTAL $283,482 $46,456 $113,609 $345,217
