Narrative:
DEED receives funding from a variety of federal agencies including the Departments of Labor, Education, and Housing and Urban Development, Social Security Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and Small Business Administration.  Federal funds represent a significant portion of DEED's budget, consisting of over 70% of expenditures.  For planning purposes, it is assumed that federal award amounts for ongoing programs will remain constant over the biennium.  If federal sequestration were to occur, DEED would expect to see at least an 8% reduction across the board.  This would result in a significant disruption in services throughout the agency.  The Basic Support program requires a 21.3% match and the Independent Living programs require a 10% match.  The Small Business Development Center program requires a 50% match.  The state contributes approximately $500,000 towards the match, with the remainder provided by the grantees.   The Small Cities Community Development Block Grant program requires a 50% match for adminstrative funds, after the first $100,000 is paid.  The Brownfields program requires a 22% match, which is provided by the loan recipients.  The Blandin grant requires a 20% match.
