We are requesting $40,021.84, which will cover $39,021.84 ($34.11 per hour x 22 hours per week x 52 weeks) of a full-time Clinical Coordinator; $500 in office supplies (e.g., ink, paper, pens, file folders, etc.); and $500 in meeting expenses consisting of refreshments. Program Director salary of $4,432.48 ($42.62 per hour x 2 hours per week x 52 weeks per year) is included as an offset, along with the balance of the Clinical Coordinator salary at $31,926.96 and the fringe benefits (e.g., unemployment, worker’s compensation, and FICA/Medicare tax) at $2,676.03 for total in-kind support of $39,035.47. Because this is an existing program, there are no startup costs. DMH grant funds will not be used to displace non-DMH funds already appropriated by or to the City of Somerville for the same activities and/or project.
