Notes

  • Funding for Emergency Assistance--Family Shelters and Services moved from a line item in the Dept. of Transitional Assistance to a line item in the Dept. of Housing and Community Development in FY10. In FY13, funding to support the family shelter overflow in hotels and motels moved to a distinct line item.
  • Use caution comparing funding for this line item FY09-FY10. In FY10, funding for information technology was taken out of this line item and shifted to a centralized information technology account. The exact amount of this accounting change is not available.
  • In FY20, a supplemental budget allocated $2.5 million collectively to Emergency Assistant (7004-0101) and Homeless Individuals Assistance (7004-0102). MassBudget assumes this amount is split equally between the two line items.
  • In FY21, the amount shifted from FY20 into FY21 through prior appropriation continued (PAC) was taken from data on the Massachusetts Comptroller's website.
