About
This Division consists of all outside agencies that are funded by County General Fund dollars. Agencies that receive funding are divided among five categories: Human Service Agencies, Public Safety Agencies, Education/Cultural Agencies, Environmental Agencies, and Economic Development Agencies.
Human Service Agencies
• $255,942 is included for the New River Valley Detention Home, which is a level funding – The
NRVDH’s request for FY 22 is $184,430, which is a decrease of $71,512 from the FY 21 budget. In the
FY 10 request, the formula for determining operating contributions was changed to allocate costs among participant jurisdictions on the basis of days used, averaged over a three-year period. Under the revised formula, Montgomery County’s billed usage for the facility for FY 22 is $184,430 or 45.9% of the total funding. The facility is over 30 years old and requires upgrades, maintenance, and newer equipment for licensure compliance. Due to the need to address these capital issues, the County is providing $184,430 for operations based on a three-year average usage and is setting aside $71,512 in a special reserve to address future facility upgrades. By the end of FY 22, $908,787 will have accumulated in the reserve.
• $30,994 is included for the Community Health Center of the New River Valley (Free Clinic), which is level funding – The agency received $30,994 in the FY 21 budget and the center requested level funding for this fiscal year. The center provides medical and dental care as well as pharmaceuticals to uninsured citizens of the New River Valley who live below the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Historical funding and the percentage of clients served by locality are presented in the chart below. The County also provides the building at 215 Roanoke Street which was renovated for the center. Assuming the center had to rent space equivalent to the building provided by the County, the rental costs would likely exceed $64,352 (8,044 square feet X $8.00).
