S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury), Emergency Rental Assistance Round One (ERA 1), funds, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Fourth Amendment (Fourth Amendment) to the Subrecipient Agreement with United Way of Santa Barbara County, Inc. (Agreement), adding $464,736.19, which increases the total amount of U.S. Treasury ERA 1 funding under the Agreement from $16,478,948.68 to $16,943,685.57, and continues administration and implementation of the ERA 1 Program funded under the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act; and
