SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Non-personnel costs reflect the elimination of Arlington's share of the operating costs for Aurora House Girls' Group Home ($311,037) due to the elimination of Title IV-E grant funding. The decrease is partly offset by an increase in the Sheltercare Program ($15,945). A policy priority to restore funding for the Aurora House program is included in the proposed budget.
