Summary The City of Alachua established the Alachua Cares Program on October 11, 2010, to provide emergency financial assistance to City of Alachua utility customers.
The Alachua Cares Program, as originally established, utilized a program administrator to determine eligibility and disburse donated program funds. This program, however, has been without an administrator since June of 2017.
Staff has evaluated the program during this timeframe and determined that, in order to make the program effective and retain a program administrator, it needed to lend itself to be more easily managed.
Hence, Resolution 19-05 establishes new program guidelines for Alachua Cares. Major changes include:
A) Use of vouchers instead of an exchange of cash; and,
B) Better defined use of program funding.
