Annual Budget

The ECHFA is able to assist future first-time homebuyers by planning and budgeting. Budgeting is one of the most important activities undertaken by governments. The budget is a plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of proposed expenditures for a given period and the proposed means of financing them, and is the primary tool in allocating ECHFA’s financial resources to programs and services. Specifically, ECHFA’s budget serves as a policy making tool, a management tool, a financial tool, and a communication tool. The end result should be a balanced budget that has been well planned and communicated. Accordingly, the attached Annual Budgets* of the Escambia County Finance Authority as adopted and amended are attached.
