Emergency Normalcy Fund Process Update

• Service teams will continue to submit ENF documents for Start-up Funds and regular requests for review and approval to the Regional Coordinator.  

• Upon approval, agencies can expend the funds. Please keep in mind that the items being purchased for the participant are allowable. For example, buying a TV as a furniture/household item is not allowable and will not be reimbursed.

·   Document in SACWIS AL approval of the expense and any engagement with the participant in purchasing or shopping for the approved items.​

·    Upload proof of payment in the participant's most recent Bridges Review.​

·    If the participant does not have an open review, please go ahead and upload it in the initial plan or assessment.​

·   Complete Invoice in SACWIS​

·   For startup funds, please use (Housing Startup, Furniture Startup, Household Item Startup)​

·   Document in the comments section where proof of payment/receipts is located in the case record, e.g., Bridges Plan, if the review still needs to be created.​

• Denote in an Activity log the following:

• Approval or denial of the ENF request.

• Total start-up costs and activities associated with expending the funds with the participant.

• This process will be effective 12/1/124. Guidance will be available and uploaded to the portal soon. We will also review the new process during the December Regional Meetings.
