Division of Housing and Community Renewal
The Enacted Budget makes no changes to the State Operations portion of the Executive Budget proposal (May 1, 2003).
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of February 7, 2003):
· An estimated FTE level of 935, or a decrease of 15 FTEs. The decrease is spread across program areas as follows: Administration (3), Community Development (2), Housing (3), and Rent Administration (7). The adjusted FTE workforce for 3/31/03 is 110 FTEs lower than the 3/31/03 FTE workforce that was estimated in the SFY 2002-03 Executive Budget. These reductions were in the following program areas: Rent Administration (82 FTEs, 42 of which were General Fund items and 40 of which were Special Revenue-Other); Community Development (11 FTEs, 5 of which were Special Revenue-Federal and 6 of which were SRO); and Housing (14 FTEs, 6 of which were General Fund items and 8 of which were SRO). Both items supported in the Lead Based Paint Abatement Program Special Revenue-Federal were eliminated.
· Proposes an All Funds decrease of only .8% as the $2 million decrease in General Fund appropriations is partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in Special Revenue-Other.
· Personal Service appropriations are decreased in the following program areas: Administration ($130,000 or -2.8%), Community Development ($848,000 or -21%), Housing ($620,000 or -19%), and Rent Administration ($1.3 million or -6.3%). These decreases appear to reflect the FTE reductions from the 3/31/03 FTE level estimated in the SFY 2002-03 Executive Budget. However, the personal service appropriation reduction in the Community Development Program seems to be higher than the FTE reduction (about $65,000 is saved per FTE reduction) and the personal service reduction in the Rent Administration Special Revenue-Other appropriation seems to be lower than the FTE reduction ($12,500 is saved per FTE reduction). This issue should be clarified at a Statewide Labor/Management meeting.
· The Special Revenue-Other increase of $2,911,000 in the Administration Program is to establish the Indirect Cost Recovery Rate for administering grant programs. We believe this increase offsets the Special Revenue-Other decrease of $2,100,000 in the Small Cities Community Development Program. According to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, the cost for the administration of this program will be taken from the grant funds. This issue should be clarified at a Statewide Labor/ Management meeting.
· The Executive proposes legislation to direct DHCR to terminate existing contracts and re-establish new funding and program standards for the Neighborhood and Rural Preservation Programs. According to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, the Aids to Localities appropriations for these programs includes the elimination of the technical assistance awards.
· The Executive proposes legislation to increase the Service Contract Obligation Revenue (SCOR) bond cap by $116,000,000 in order to provide the bonding authority necessary to reimburse housing programs.
