On what date did it become apparent that the receiving account would require an infusion of funds in order to meet current obligations? What was the balance in the account on that date, and what was the balance 30 days prior to that date?
Not applicable
How was the account used for the source of transferred funds identified? List any other accounts that were also considered (but not used) as the source of the transferred funds.
This requested transfer would shift funds between Healing Hurt People Chicago (NT075) and CCH Behavioral Health Authority (TR011) at the request of Cook County Health to prioritize program spending. It would also shift funds between Lead Pipe Replacement at Vera Yates and Richard Flowers Homes (NT792) and Legal Aid for Housing and Debt (NT115) at the request of the Bureau of Economic Development based on program need. Finally, the requested transfer would shift funds from Housing for Justice Involved Individuals (NT764) and Justice Reinvestment Plan (NT086) that could not be immediately obligated, and instead used for other ARPA program priorities.
Identify any projects, purchases, programs, contracts, or other obligations that will be deferred, delayed, or canceled as a result of the reduction in available spending authority that will result in the account that funds are transferred from.
Not applicable
If the answer to the above question is “none” then please explain why this account was originally budgeted in a manner that caused an unobligated surplus to develop at this point in the fiscal year.
This request seeks to shift ARPA funds between Policy Pillars, which requires approval by the Board.
