The budget for agency programs in upcoming fiscal years exhibits a reduction, but funds are reallocated to maintain program funding levels.
- For FY 2024, the budget is $21,400,000; it decreases to $18,500,000 for FY 2025.
- The decrease in the budget is attributed to compensation adjustments.
- Despite the decrease, $6,300,000 of intercity and state funding is reallocated to ensure no reduction in program funding.
- The reallocation of funds emphasizes the commitment to sustaining program funding levels despite budgetary changes.
