Hi Karrie,
Thank you for taking the time to review these expenses. I am also doing some research on my end. Based on your
calculations, you stated that only 67% of our budget was used, however, with the final numbers, it was 75% of our
total budget that was expensed. Secondly, if you look at the historical invoices for the sleep center, you will see
that they are usually $49-$50k on average. Now I do understand the concept of Grant awards, and the way funds
are distributed to make sure they are being awarded appropriately; however, my concern is that with this amount
of decrease, we will not be able to fund the operations of the sleep center for the full grant cycle. Realistically, we
will be closer to expensing $600,000 through this current EHF award, not including inflation. Is there anyway to
reallocate an additional $15,000 to the City of Moses Lake to reach that $600,000 award?
Once again, thankyou-both for your time and the willingness to discuss these figures.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Karrie-will reach out if Ifind any discrepancies as I look at my invoices as well.
Thanks!

Lizabeth,
I attached a copy of my EHF budget spreadsheet for you to look at, if you could compare your numbers and see if I
am missing anything. I have gone through each monthly invoice/detail worksheet, my vouchers to accounting for
payments and with all the Al 9's I submit to Commerce and still coming up with the same remaining balance.
Let me know what if you find any numbers that are not matching yours and I will look into it on my end.

Re: City of Moses Lake requesting more funding on the Emergency Housing
Fund Grant (EHF) #24-4619D-106
The City of Moses Lake is requesting $15,000.00 more funding from the EHF Grant. Below are the
allocations from the previous grant award and the current grant award.
Previous allocation that ended on June 30,2024
Total Award amount: $1,154,338
City of M L
$663,000
67% Expended
Hopesource:
$320,571
87% Expended
New Hope:
$170,767
78% Expended
Current EHF Grant Allocations are as follows:
Total Funding amount: $1,180,246
City of ML
$585,000
Hopesource
$370,123
New Hope
$225,123
At the time of calculating the allocation amount for each entity on the current funding award, June
invoices from the City of Moses Lake had not been received on the previous grant which showed they had
spent 67% of their grant amount. With the June expenses included, the City of Moses Lake has spent
75% of their funding.
As you can see the City of Moses Lake received the majority of each award for the Sleep Center.
Understandably, they would like to keep the budget that they received from the previous grant award
($663,000). According to my calculations at the time, my records showed they had $163,354 that had not
been spent, therefore more funding was allocated to New Hope and Hopesource as they have been able
to spend more of the funding that is allocated to them. Sub Agreements have been sent to all entities, but
I have not received them back from Hopesource or City of Moses Lake.
My recommendation is to keep the allocations as they are. I am asking the Board for a final decision on
the request from the City of Moses Lake.
