In late March 2000, the Department of Social Services received notification from the State of <br />additional Crisis Intervention Funds. The Department uses these funds to pay heating and air <br />conditioning bills for individuals who qualify for assistance. In late November 1999, the State <br />awarded additional funds of $80,375 to the original budget of $65,280 bringing the current <br />budget for the program to $145,655. With this most recent award of $40,000, the budget will <br />increase to $185,655. An estimated 800 Orange County families will receive assistance <br />through this program in the current fiscal year. No County match is required for the receipt of <br />these funds.
