The Request for Proposal process closed on May 29, 2018, with 56 agencies and 83 programs were recommended and approved for funding through the Delegate Agencies Fiscal Year 2019 budget adoption. The total Delegate Agency Budget is $22.5 Million and $21.8 Million was allocated to delegate agencies as part of the FY 2019 Budget Process. A balance of $774,359 was to be allocated through a subsequent Request for Proposal.
