The County Council has reached a decision on the final reconciliation list for the FY19 budget. Nonprofit Montgomery requested a 3% increase to all nonprofit contracts. The DHHS committee put this requested increase on the reconciliation list in increments of 1%, and then four ½% increments.
The result is that there is a 2% increase in County contracts in DHHS. Click here for the final grants reconciliation list. And here for our advocacy update about this.
