H-GAC staff prepares an annual budget and service plan setting out recommended program and financial priorities for the Council.

In 2019, H-GAC maintained a high-level of performance, expanded service to the region through the Tow and Go Program, Elder Justice, and the new Communications department. We also explored new opportunities, opened a Regional Aging & Disability Resource Center, began a Regional Housing Assessment, and explored new funding opportunities for our member governments.

The annual budget review includes an initial draft presentation which was conducted at our meeting on October 15. The Board received a presentation on a revised draft on November 19 which included a slight increase from October. At the December 17 meeting there will be a Public Hearing and final review for possible adoption.

The total unified budget for 2020 is $356,300,545. This is a 5% decrease from 2019 due largely to decreases in our Transportation and Community and Environmental programs.
