UNICIPAL IMPACT See explanation below 

STATE AGENCY(S) Department of Housing, Department 
of Education 

XPLANATION OF ESTIMATES: 

ssuming that the pilot program will generate full 
participation it is anticipated that passage of this 
pill could result in an additional annual cost of 
p4,320,000 to the Department of Housing. Currently, 750 
hildten participate in the Project Concern Program and 
he average subsidy under the Rental Assistance Program 
§ $480 per month, 

epending upon the assumptions which are made about 
rogram participation and the value that is assigned to 
ach of the assumptions, a fluctuation in the total 
ost is expected to result. The assumptions which will 
ave an impact on the cost include: the number of 
: B Concern participants that elect to take 
   

d rage of the pilot program; the number of 
articipants in Project Concern that would be eligible 
o participate in the pilot; and the number of children 
articipating in the Project Concern Program that are 
rom the same family. In 1991-92, {it is anticipated 
hat the time necessary to implement the program will 
lso have an impact on the costs.

Human Resources to fund the Rental Assistance Program 
in FY 1991-92. The 1990-91 estimated current service 
level is $18,428,728. The poteptial savings from 
attrition is expected to range between $852,480 and 
$1.1 million dollars. The estimate assumes that between 
148 and 200 participants will drop out of the program 
annually. 

In addition, as sending and receiving towns in Project 
Concern share the student counts for purposes of 
education equalization aid any change in residency by a student will decrease revenue in sending towns and increase revenue in receiving towns. On a per pupil basis, aid to receiving towns is less than sending 
towns, thus, overall State costs will decrease as students are counted only in receiving districts. 

MUNICIPAL IMPACT: Currently sending and receiving towns   

involved In Project Concern equally share the student 
counts for purposes of education equalization grants. As this bill establishes residency {in the receiving towns it is assumed that these students would then count only in the previously considered teceiving towns, thus increasing their revenue and decreasing the previously considered sending towns’ revenue. To the extent that students previously shut-out-of Project Concern possibly being able to now participate as space opens up, the revenue increases and decreases could be increased; this is dependent on receiving and sending town agreements based on space within the school 
districts, 

Assuming that the number of students taking advantage of this pilot program is far less than the number of Project Concern participants there would be little if any increase in local costs to previous receiving districts in terms of transportation which would now be shared by the town and the State rather than paid by the State as under Project Concern.
