Home Energy Assistance requests decreased 6.5% to 11,555 in FY12 over FY11 but remain 28% higher than in FY08 when the economic downturn began. Due to reduced benefit levels, less financial assistance was available to help eligible households to afford utility costs.

All 95 family shelter beds and all year-round, single adult shelter beds continue to be at capacity.

Requests for Emergency Assistance Grants decreased 10% in FY12 over FY11 but demand remains high. A total of 6,428 households sought assistance in FY12. Changes to State eligibility guidelines late in FY12 has reduced the assistance available to families.

Patient load in Montgomery Cares for FY12 was 26,814 patients, a 27% increase over FY09.  However, expansion in the number of patients served has grown very modestly since FY10, due to budget restrictions.  As a result of expanded FY 13 funding, Montgomery Cares capacity is expected to grow by 15% in FY13. 

The number of patient visits provided each year has expanded by 36% since FY09, to 77,162 visits in FY12.  As with patient numbers, the number of visits has grown modestly over the past several years.  FY13 promises a comparable increase in the number of patient visits.

FY13 County General Fund Approved Expenditures = $181,733,140 (5.8% increase from the FY12 Approved budget of $171,748,980)

FY13 Approved Budget from all revenue sources = $252,303,160 and a total of 1,558.6 work years (4.2% increase from FY12 level of $242,074,280)

Possible Federal sequestration will require Federal agencies to cut their budget by 10%.

MD State Department of Budget and Management estimates that these cuts would reduce federal grants to State and Local Governments by approximately $150 million.

Based on current funding levels, there could be a reduction of $-3.8 million in local funding for Health and Human services.

DHHS has over 500 contracts with 300 service provider.
