Public Notice for Public Comment – Draft State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2024 Funding Allocations for Service Categories of the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) for Pima County
Pima Association of Governments (PAG), the Council of Governments for Pima County, is accepting public comments on the proposed funding allocations for Pima County for service categories of the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) to the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES). The funding allocations are pertinent to the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2024 Local Planned Level.
PAG facilitates the process for developing recommendations for SSBG funding for Pima County under the guidance and direction of the Arizona Department of Economic Security.
Human service organizations in Pima County may then contract with the State to provide services using these funds. There are 29 service categories under the Social Services Block Grant. However, the task before PAG is focused on eight or nine of these categories. The proposed recommendations will result in funding for agencies in Pima County in SFY 2024. PAG makes funding recommendations for service categories not agencies. It does not review applications, reports or have input into the State process once the plan is approved.
The guidance set for PAG includes the following goals for the SSBG Program in the State of Arizona:
- Achieving or maintaining economic self-support to prevent, reduce or eliminate dependency.
- Achieving or maintaining self-sufficiency, including reduction or prevention of dependency.
- Preventing or remedying neglect, abuse or exploitation of children and adults unable to protect their own interests, or preserving, rehabilitating, or reuniting families.
- Preventing or reducing inappropriate institutional care by providing for community-based care, home-based care, or other forms of less intensive care.
- Securing referral or admission for institutional care when other forms of care are not appropriate, or providing services to individuals in institutions.
Public Comment Schedule
This public comment period begins Wednesday, May 10, 2023. All written public comments on the proposed program must be received by midnight on Friday, May 19, 2023, which concludes the comment period. Comments may be submitted via the online public comment form at PAGregion.com or at publiccomments@PAGregion.com.
Mailed comments should be sent to: Pima Association of Governments, 1 E. Broadway Blvd., Suite 401, Tucson, AZ 85701.
This notice of public involvement activities and the time established for public review and comments on the DRAFT SFY 2024 Social Services Block Grant funding recommendations for Pima County will help to satisfy requirements for the public process for local input.
