Copy of Attachment C-Budget Form.xlsx

This is a budget form template for the Safe and Successful Youth Initiative Human Trafficking Intervention Program (SSYI HT), issued by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), Office of Children, Youth and Families. The form serves as the financial submission component for grant applications to implement human trafficking intervention services. The budget form is structured to capture detailed payroll information, including staff positions, annual costs, and the portion funded by SSYI HT, along with comprehensive documentation of taxes and fringe benefits. Applicants must complete three fiscal year budget periods: FY2027 (January 1, 2027–June 30, 2027), FY2028 (July 1, 2027–June 30, 2028), and FY2029 (July 1, 2028–June 30, 2029). The form requires narrative justifications for all cost categories and maintains an automated calculation system that populates summary totals based on detailed entries.

The budget form accommodates multiple cost categories including consultants and subcontracts, training, staff travel, meals, facilities, participant stipends and incentives, equipment, supplies, and other direct costs, with all entries requiring detailed narratives explaining the necessity and methodology for allocation. Indirect costs are capped at 15% of total direct costs, consistent with EOHHS-approved rates, and the form includes automated alerts when this threshold is exceeded. Organizations must identify all personnel by name or "TBD" status if positions remain unfilled, provide comprehensive breakdown of payroll taxes and fringe benefits, and justify facility costs through allocation methodologies such as full-time equivalent (FTE) calculations. The template is designed with locked gray cells that auto-populate based on entries in unlocked blue cells, streamlining data compilation and reducing calculation errors for applicant organizations responding to this human trafficking intervention grant opportunity.
