Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Office of CelebrateOne has been awarded a Housing Assistance to Improve Birth and Child Outcomes Grant from the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio (COHHIO) for the Healthy Beginnings At Home (HBAH) 2.0 Program in partnership with the Ohio Department of Health. This grant is paid on a reimbursement basis. CelebrateOne will invoice COHHIO for real expenses and then will deposit those payments into the General Government Grant Fund 2220.

CelebrateOne will administer the grant in collaboration with two community partners, Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) and Homeless Family Foundation (HFF) DBA Homes for Families to accomplish the goals of the HBAH 2.0 Program. Two sub-contracts for program management are also authorized by the grant, one with Barbara Poppe Associates for $86,400.00 and one with AJC Solutions, for $124,035.00.

In addition, an existing grant for Emergency Rental Assistance Phase 2 is already appropriated in the City's Emergency Rental Assistance Fund 2208 and will be allocated to both CMHA and HFF as part of their respective contracts.
