AGENDA APPROVAL
E. COMMUNITY SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to ratify: the
signature of the Mayor on the Grant Year (GY) 2026 Ryan White Part A HIV
Emergency Relief Non-Compete Continuation (NCC) Progress Report. The GY period
will begin on March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027.
The amount requested is $8,013,114, which is the ceiling amount available.
There are no County match funds required; however, this grant does require
Maintenance of Effort (MOE), whereby the County agrees to maintain local expenditures
for HIV/AIDS-related core medical and support services at a level equal to the
Fiscal Year (FY) preceding GY 2025, totaling $830,488. Summary:
The U.S Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
transitioned the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) from an annual competitive
program to a three (3) year non-competing continuation program, effective in GY
2022. Although RWHAP continues to receive annual funding, NCC Progress Reports
will be submitted in lieu of competitive applications in the second and third
budget periods to reduce administrative burden and better align programmatic
goals. Funding for GY 2026 will allow us
to serve approximately 3,800 Palm Beach County (County) residents living with
HIV/AIDS and support our goal to end HIV by 2030. In GY 2024, 2,913 people with
HIV (PWH) were served across all programs and initiatives. The Ryan
White Part A/Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Program served 2,993 clients in GY
2024, achieving a 92% retention in care rate and 85% viral suppression.
Specifically, under the MAI program,
84.3% of clients (774 out of 918) were virally suppressed. The
Department is pursuing options to meet MOE requirements using current funding, but will submit a budget request in the event that
additional County support is needed.

1. SUMMARY
(cont’d.): Guidance for the NCC Progress Report was released on September 2, 2025,
with a submission deadline of October 2, 2025. HHS recommends submitting the
report as early as possible to avoid any technical issues with online
submission; therefore, the target submission date was September 26, 2025. The
emergency signature process was utilized due to insufficient time to submit the
NCC Progress Report through the regular Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
agenda and meet the submission deadline. No County match is required. Countywide (JBR)

providing economic stability and mobility services to low-income individuals
and families in the County;
B) receive and file Notice of Grant Award/Fund Availability
(NFA) No. 042976 (Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) G-2302FLLIEE, CFDA

Assistance Program (LIHEAP) end date from July 31, 2025 to September 30, 2025,
with no change to overall funding of
$4,804,793, to provide assistance to low-income households in meeting
their home energy costs;
C) receive and file NFA No. 042948 (FAIN G-2302FLLIEA, CFDA

overall funding of $3,452,994, to provide assistance to low-income households
in meeting their home energy costs;
D) receive and file NFA No. 045761 (FAIN G-2502FLLIEA, CFDA

release funding of the CSBG, from July 1, 2023 to
September 30, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $848,116.60, to provide economic
stability and mobility services to low-income households in the County;
G) receive and file NFA No. 045710 (FAIN G-2401FLCOSR, CFDA
93.569), from Commerce to the County, to reobligate
the award and release of the CSBG, from July 1, 2025
to November 17, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $388,335.40, to provide
economic stability and mobility services to low-income households in the County;
H) approve a downward Budget Amendment in FY 2025 in
the amount of $45,197 in the LIHEAP Fund to align the budget with the actual
grant award;
I) approve
an upward Budget Amendment in FY 2025
in the amount of $874,782 in the CSBG Fund to align the budget with the actual
grant award; and
J) approve a downward Budget
Amendment in FY 2026 in the amount of $3,393,386 in the LIHEAP Fund to
recognize the decrease in the grant award.
Summary: The new Subgrant Agreement supersedes all
current CSBG and LIHEAP subgrant agreements, which expired on September 30,
2025. Commerce has issued one (1) Agreement covering both the CSBG and LIHEAP
programs, along with the NFA to
release funds. Under the new Subgrant Agreement, the County will only receive
funding for administration of the LIHEAP program. County staff will utilize Florida’s Promise
system to process LIHEAP applications for clients, and the checks will be
issued directly to the utility companies by the state. Direct services funding will no longer pass
through the County, which will result in a decrease in total grant funding
received by the County; however, clients served will remain the same. The
LIHEAP funds are used to prevent electric utility disconnection or to reconnect
services for low-income households. In Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2025, 5,016
households received emergency utility assistance and, as a result, either
prevented disconnection or restored their service. In FY 2026, electric bill
assistance will be provided to approximately 16,000 low-income individuals and
5,500 families. The CSBG funds are used to provide economic stability and
mobility services to approximately 2,700 low-income individuals and 1,040
families.

2. SUMMARY (cont’d.): Economic stability services include rent and utility assistance. Economic
mobility services include employment skills training, job placement, resume
writing training, financial management training, and case management. In FFY
2024, 114 clients enrolled in the self-sufficiency program, 24 completed
vocational training, and 23 obtained jobs. The emergency signature process was
utilized because there was not sufficient time to submit the Subgrant Agreement
through the regular Board of County Commissioners’ (BCC) agenda process and
return by the grantor’s deadline. No
County match is required. Countywide (JBR)
3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a retroactive Contract for Provision of Services with Christians
Reaching Out to Society, Inc. (CROS), for the period October 1, 2025 through
September 30, 2028, in an amount totaling $225,000, of which $75,000 is
budgeted in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026, with an anticipated annual allocation of
$75,000 in each subsequent FY, contingent upon a budgetary appropriation by the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to provide gleaning services to low-income
participants. Summary: CROS has
the space and resources to provide food pantry services for low-income
residents of Palm Beach County (County). Funding is provided by the Community
Services Block Grant (CSBG). To help address hunger in the County, CROS gleans
fresh produce for the Palm Beach County Food Bank (PBCFB), which distributes
the majority of food through approximately 200 partner organizations. Gleaning
is the collection of surplus produce left in fields after harvest. PBCFB is
currently experiencing an increase in demand for food assistance due to rising
housing costs, unemployment, and inflation. In addition to gleaning services,
CSBG funds also support skill-building and vocational/employment training
programs. These grant funds are allocated annually based on the amount
received. CROS is the sole-source provider of gleaning services for food
pantries in the County. It recruits and coordinates gleaning opportunities
through local churches, civic groups, and nonprofit agencies. In FY 2025, CROS met its goal by gleaning 200,000
pounds of food for County food pantries. Under this new Contract, CROS will
glean approximately 200,000 pounds of food in FY 2026. No County funds are required. Countywide

DCF will enable the Division of Senior and Veterans Services (DSVS) to
coordinate services for older adults at risk of abuse, neglect, and
exploitation who are referred by DCF Protective Investigators. These services
help older adults remain in the least restrictive setting and avoid or delay

Council
Summary: HIVCC establishes priorities for the allocation of Ryan White (RW)
HIV/AIDS Program funds within the County; and develops a comprehensive plan for
the organization and delivery of health services described in 42 U.S.C. §
300ff, et seq., that is compatible with any existing state or local plan
regarding the provision of health services to individuals with HIV/AIDS
disease. The United States Department of Health and Human Services, through the
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), requires the County to
maintain a planning council responsible for establishing priorities and
allocating RW grant funding. The HIVCC is that Council. Federal law requires
that the HIVCC composition reflect the demographics of
individuals with HIV/AIDS in the County. At least 33% of its members must be
consumers of RW services who are not affiliated with subrecipient service
providers. The law also requires that the HIVCC represent designated areas,
including health care providers, social service providers, community-based
organizations, local public health agencies, non-elected community leaders, and
grantees of Federal HIV programs. Per Resolution R2011-1560, the total
membership for the HIVCC shall not exceed 33 At-Large members. The HIVCC
recommends the appointment of Dr. Sandra Maria Anderson, who will complete the
term of Dr. Jyothi Gunta. Currently, 22

Summary: The FDEP allotted funding for Fiscal Year 2024-25 to address
wastewater (including septic to sewer), stormwater and agricultural sources of
nutrients in waterbodies that are not attaining nutrient or nutrient-related
standards, have an established total maximum daily load or are located within a
basin management action plan area, a reasonable assurance plan area, an
accepted alternative restoration plan area, or a rural area of opportunity
under Section 288.0656, Florida Statutes. The Project will convert approximately 15 septic systems to a
centralized wastewater collection system owned and maintained by Palm Beach
County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD). The conversion of the septic system
to a sanitary sewer is a significant project aimed at addressing the challenges
posed by aging septic systems that have reached the end of their useful life
cycle. By eliminating contaminants associated with these outdated septic
systems, the Project aims to improve the overall sanitation and environmental
conditions in the Glades area. Combined funding for this Project will be
sourced from the Standard Grant Agreement NF128 - $449,700 (R2025-0825) with
matching funds provided by Standard Grant Agreement QG031. Pursuant to
Section 2-80.22 of the Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Ordinance and County
PPM CW-O-043, this project is exempt from the EBO requirements. The Catalog of
State Financial Assistance (CSFA) number is 37.039. The agreement contains liability provisions,

(cont’d.): In accordance
with PPM CW-F-049, Risk Management and the County Attorney’s Office have
reviewed the language and advised the PBCWUD of the associated risks.
Given that the County’s liability is limited to the negligent or wrongful acts
of its employees and agents, given that the statutory caps of Section 768.28,
Florida Statutes apply, and given that this is a grant
agreement with little risk of FDEP incurring liability to the County beyond the
grant amount, staff recommends Board approval. No local match is required for the grant, as this Project is located in
a Rural Area of Opportunity. (PBCWUD Project No. 25-003) District 6 (MWJ)

First Amendment to the contract with FAU extends the contract terms through
December 31, 2026. This adjustment is necessary to spend down remaining grant
funds and provide additional time to complete project deliverables in alignment

funding source and the beginning and ending dates of the County and the State
fiscal years. Contracts utilizing funding from the State of Florida FY 2025–FY 2026
General Appropriations Act are retroactive to July 1, 2025
and contracts utilizing Ad Valorem and JAG funds are retroactive to October 1,
2025. The delay was a result of a late budget approval by the Governor and the
FDC CPO being received on July 22, 2025.
Contracts for RB will be included in a future agenda item; we are
currently awaiting execution by the City of Riviera Beach. The CPO contains
broader indemnification by the County than that approved by PPM CW-F-049. The
CPO requires the County to indemnify and save harmless the Department of Corrections
and its employees from liability of any nature or kind, including cost and
expenses for or on account of any copyrighted, patented, or unpatented
invention, process, or article manufactured or supplied by the County. The Risk
Management Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the
indemnification requirements for the CPO and advised staff accordingly. Given
that the County will not be manufacturing or supplying any copyrighted,
patented, or unpatented inventions, processes, or articles as a result of the
CPO; the CPO is the result of a legislative appropriation; and the CPO is not
formally executed, staff recommends BCC approval. Countywide (RS)

annually, totaling $3,276,202.83 over three (3) years, to the Palm Beach County
(County) Continuum of Care (CoC), also known as the Homeless and Housing
Alliance (HHA). Of this amount, $910,797
is allocated annually for homeless prevention services, and $181,271 is
designated annually for planning and evaluation. To ensure the continuation of
homeless services, DCF required that the signed amendment be returned no later
than July 30, 2025. The DCF Unified Homeless Contract LP027 was received from
DCF on June 19, 2025. The emergency signature process was utilized due to
insufficient time to submit this item through the BCC agenda process. This item
is now being submitted to the BCC in accordance with PPM CW-O-051. This
Contract includes four (4) grants: (1) the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), (2)
the Challenge Grant, (3) the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Grant
(TANF), and (4) the Planning and Evaluation Grant. The ESG Grant is newly
awarded and requires a 100% match from the County. The Challenge Grant is in its second year and
requires a 25% match from the County. The TANF and the Planning and Evaluation
Grants are long-standing grants and do not require a match. These grants will
provide homeless prevention services.
Due to the complexity of these funding sources, this agenda item
establishes the budget in a new fund and closes out the budget in the general
fund for both FY 2025 and FY 2026. In FY 2024-2025, ESG did not provide
funding, the Challenge Grant served 344 households, and TANF served 25. For FY 2025-2026, ESG will serve 50
households annually, the Challenge Grant will serve 166, and TANF will serve
eight (8). To ensure the continuation of homeless services, DCF required that
the signed contract be returned no later than July 30, 2025. The DCF Unified
Homeless Contract LP027 was received from DCF on June 19, 2025. The emergency
signature process was utilized due to insufficient time to submit this item
