  Repeals Enactments 4 and 5 of Chapters 778 and 779, 2016 Acts of Assembly, as well as Enactment 2 of Chapters 776 and 777, 2016 Acts of Assembly. The repeal of these enactments, through budgetary language in the General Provisions section of the Appropriation Act, will allow for the expenditure of grants by the Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board. Additionally, the language provides that the creation of the Virginia Growth and Opportunity Foundation to support the Board satisfies the intent of Enactment 4 of Chapters 778 and 779 of the 2016 Acts of Assembly.

DHCD Restore Item 109 General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment is a technical amendment that restores funding to Item 109 and reflects the reductions in a central reversion account.
 
  FY FY
General Fund $5,569,271 $10,675,797
•
Restore Funding for Enterprise Zone Program General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment restores $1.0 million from the general fund of the $1.8 million from the general fund reduction proposed in the Governor's introduced budget. The Enterprise Zone Program is consistently oversubscribed with qualified recipients receiving prorated grant awards. The Real Property Improvement Grants portion of the Enterprise Zone Program was prorated at 69 percent in fiscal year 2014 and 67 percent in fiscal year 2015 (the most recent annual report available). This action mitigates the need to prorate grant awards and is consistent with the recommendations of the Enterprise Zone Program study just completed at the request of the General Assembly by the VCU Center for Urban and Regional Analysis.
 
  FY FY
General Fund $500,000 $500,000

Housing Strategies for Mental Illness General Assembly Adjustment

DHCD is also directed to work with stakeholders whose constituents have an interest in expanding supportive housing for people with serious mental illness, and to produce an annual report to the Chairmen of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance Committees. This is a recommendation from the Joint Subcommittee Studying Mental Health Services in the Commonwealth in the 21st Century.
