1. SUMMARY
(cont’d.): The MOA and MOU
with FPL and LWB, respectively, authorizes CAP to administer and process
applications on behalf of the State of Florida for eligible low-income
households, thereby ensuring program compliance and reducing the disconnection
of services for qualified residents. In
Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2024, LIHEAP prevented the disconnection of, or
restored, energy services for 2,706 households. Over the term of the MOA/MOU,
CAP anticipates serving approximately 7,800 households. Pursuant to Section 5(F) of the Subgrant
Agreement (Funding Consideration), the State of Florida’s and FDOC’s
performance and obligation to pay under the Subgrant Agreement No. E2249 are
contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Florida Legislature. FDOC
retains final authority regarding both the availability of funds and what
constitutes an “annual appropriation” of funds as the payor for these services.
The lack of appropriation or availability of funds shall not constitute a
default by FDOC under this Subgrant Agreement. In the event of a state or
federal funding shortfall, the funding made available under the Subgrant
Agreement may be reduced. The MOA
contains a limitation of liability provision that differs from that adopted for
use by Palm Beach County (County) under PPM CW-F-049. The Risk Management
Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the limitation of
liability for the MOA and advised staff accordingly. The Vendor is not liable
for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, special, incidental, or punitive
damages relating to the MOA. Given the type of services performed under the MOA
and the overall risk to the County, staff is
recommending Board of County Commissioners’ approval. No County match is required. (Community Services) Countywide (JBR)

of $72,000 (Contract), to provide financial management training services to
eligible low-income residents of Palm Beach County (County). Summary: CCMS will provide financial literacy and financial management training
services to eligible low-income residents participating in the Community
Services Department’s (CSD) Community Action Program (CAP) Family
Self-Sufficiency initiatives. CAP’s mission is to promote independence and
enhance the quality of life for County residents by providing services that
support economic stability and long-term self-sufficiency. Services provided
under this Contract will include financial literacy education, credit
counseling, budgeting assistance, savings strategies, and credit repair
guidance designed to help participants improve financial stability and build
long-term financial capacity. CCMS will provide both individualized financial
coaching and group training sessions to assist participants in increasing
savings, reducing debt, improving credit scores, and strengthening overall
financial well-being. CCMS will serve a minimum of 96 participants annually,
for an estimated total of 288 participants over the three (3) year contract
term. In Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2025, CCMS demonstrated measurable outcomes,
assisting 161 participants in increasing their savings, 375 participants in improving
their credit scores, and 258 participants in reporting improved financial
well-being. CCMS was selected following a competitive solicitation process in
which financial management training services were included in the Request for
Proposals (RFP); however, CCMS was the only responsive proposer offering these
services. Based on the absence of additional qualified proposals and CCMS’s
demonstrated experience providing financial literacy services to low-income
households, staff recommends approval of this Contract. Funding is provided
through the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) administered by the Florida
Department of Commerce (FDOC). The State of Florida’s and FDOC’s obligation to
provide funding is contingent upon annual appropriations by the Florida

Summary: On February 27, 2026, HHS/HRSA issued a
partial funding NOA in the amount of $550,000 for the budget period of March 1,
2026 through February 28, 2027. This grant focuses on
reducing HIV infections in the United States by 90% by 2030. The funding will
allow the program to serve approximately 800 County residents with HIV/AIDS. To
support the goal of ending the epidemic, the County will use the award to
prioritize Rapid Entry to Care (REC) services and expand Health Insurance
Premium Assistance (HIPS). Recent changes to the Florida AIDS Drug Assistance
Program (ADAP) have eliminated support for health insurance premiums, affecting
1,568 people with HIV/AIDS in the County.
Additional EHE grant funds will be allocated to ensure continuity of
care for disenrolled ADAP members. In GY 2025, the EHE program served 812
clients, achieving an 89% retention rate in care and a 70% viral suppression
rate, advancing the collective goal of ending HIV by 2030. No County match is required. (Ryan

requirement for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026; and
B) a
Budget Amendment in the amount of $400,000 in the Ryan White Fund to recognize the transfer from the General
Fund.
Summary: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) requires recipients to maintain
local expenditures for eligible HIV-related core medical and support services
at or above a federally established MOE level. The MOE requirement ensures that
federal funds supplement, rather than supplant, local funding. Due to changes
in eligible MOE-calculable expenditures from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s
Office and the Health Care District of Palm Beach County, the Palm Beach
County’s (County) annual MOE requirement was recalculated and reduced from
$2,091,893 to $830,488. For FY 2026, the Community Services Department (CSD)
has identified eligible local expenditures within Housing Resource Centers and
Financially Assisted Agency contracts that partially satisfy the MOE
requirement. However, an additional $400,000 in County funds is required to
ensure full compliance. The proposed transfer utilizes unobligated ad valorem funding within the CSD’s operating budget. These
funds will support eligible RWHAP core and support services, including
outpatient medical care, pharmaceuticals, laboratory services, health insurance
assistance, and housing-related services. Failure to meet the MOE requirement
may result in a proportional reduction of the County’s annual federal RWHAP award
and could negatively impact future funding eligibility. CSD will include

This Contract includes provisions for additional compensation based on
terms of the Contract. However, this
Contract itself authorizes no work or compensation. Instead, on an annual basis, FDEP will issue
Task Assignments to PBC with compensation levels for specific job tasks necessary
to carry out petroleum contamination cleanup services. The Contract contains indemnification
provisions that differ from that adopted for use by the County under PPM

claims, or damages arising out of FDEP’s negligence. The Risk Management
Department and the County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the language and

1. Staff recommends
motions to:
A) approve a Budget Transfer in the amount of $1,000,000 in the General Fund from Human Services
Senior Supportive Housing Center to Human Services Financial Assistance; and
B)
delegate authority to the
County Administrator or his designee to execute a retroactive Contract with
Gulfstream Goodwill Industries (GGI) in an amount not to exceed $400,000 to
provide bridge funding for the New Avenues Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
program for the period of February 1, 2026 through May 31, 2026, which amount
will be repaid to Palm Beach County (County) upon release of funds from the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Summary: The County budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 included $1,000,000 for
operations and wraparound services for the Senior Supportive Housing LaQuinta
Inn project. Since this project has not moved forward, the Community Services
Department (CSD), through the Division of Human Services and Community Action
Program (HSCAP), is requesting to reallocate these funds to support rental
assistance for individuals experiencing homelessness in Palm Beach County
(County). This includes $400,000 to provide temporary gap funding to GGI. The
remaining balance will be used for direct rental assistance, where demand
continues to exceed available resources and the need remains significant
countywide. GGI operates the New Avenues PSH program, which serves 38
chronically homeless individuals with disabilities. The program’s federal
funding expired on January 31, 2026, and the renewal contract from HUD has not
yet been executed. To avoid disruption and maintain housing stability for
current participants, GGI has continued program operations at its own expense
but has indicated it cannot sustain these costs without interim financial
assistance. The requested $400,000 will provide bridge funding for the period
of February 1, 2026 through May 31, 2026, to prevent
displacement of current participants. Upon execution of the HUD renewal
contract, GGI will reimburse the County. (HSCAP) Countywide (JBR)
