The largest reduction is HSTS staff who have been working on the emergency housing and housing wait list programs being transferred to the Department of Public Health. Increases reflect, in part, changes in the line items where events are budgeted. Real increases reflected include AIDS Marathon production fees, design and production fees for prevention campaigns, increased grant making advisory fees tied to higher grant making and increased database management fees. Increases are related to changes in line items for the budgeting of events in addition to promotion of the AIDS Marathon. These increases are partially offset by fundraising costs which were budgeted in other line items this year.
Increases are primarily related to the change in accounts for event budgeting.
The increase in this line is tied to amounts being held in reserve against private revenue goals pending success of next year s events. The decline is related to the return of the emergency hotel voucher contract to the Department of Public Health to fund their new emergency housing effort, offset by one-time voucher funding for program transition by October 2001. All long-term subsidy programs are maintained in this budget. Telephone and office supplies have increased related to the change in budgeting line items for events. The increase reflects the recognition of board involvement in the events.
