Financial Report

The Board was asked to approve a revised budget for FY 19-20 due to the receipt of two grants to support the Anchor Community Initiative - a youth homelessness project with the City of Spokane and other local providers of services to homeless youth. Because of the significant size of these two grants - $55,000 from the Ballmer Group and $50,000 from the Avista Foundation - and their receipt in the beginning of our fiscal year, staff and the Finance Committee agreed to recommend this revised budget in order to eliminate significant budget variations that would need to be highlighted for most of the fiscal year.

The grant supporting the Anchor Community Initiative will hire one staff person who will work primarily at the City of Spokane and the grant also will provide support for our staff oversight and management of this initiative with the City and other partners.
