HUMAN SERVICES ADVISORY BOARD (HSAB) MEETS TO DISCUSS FY23 GRANT FUNDING CYCLE 

MONROE COUNTY, FL – The first meeting of the Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB) for the FY2023 grant funding cycle has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 30 at 1 p.m. in person at the Marathon Government Center and via Zoom. The meeting will include discussion of the upcoming FY2023 budget period of Oct. 1, 2022, through Sept. 30, 2023.

HSAB grants are funded by the Monroe Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). This grant funding opportunity is open to nonprofit 501c3 organizations that wish to propose a program for meeting human needs through an interdisciplinary knowledge base, focusing on prevention and remediation of problems and committed to improving the overall quality of life for vulnerable residents of Monroe County. Since 2014, Monroe County has given $17,550,060 in HSAB funding to local nonprofits.

“The HSAB board bases its recommendations to the BOCC on evaluating the county’s needs, agency capability and past performance, and an established set of guidelines,” said Monroe County Budget Director Tina Boan. “An eligible organization must provide medical services, core services, and/or quality of life services to our residents.”

The tentative agenda items include introducing HSAB members, nominations and elections of the board, discussion of the FY23 funding process, including the application, attachments, funding history, discussion and approval of the funding cycle schedule, and public comments.

 Attendance at this meeting is not a requirement of eligibility for grant funding. The meeting will be recorded and available for viewing on Monroe County Television (MCTV), usually within a few days after the meeting. More information on HSAB can be found at www.monroecounty-fl.gov/hsab.

A second meeting will be held on June 1.
