Ordinance No. 1825-2023, passed by Columbus City Council on July 17, 2023, authorized the Director of the Department of Development to execute grant agreements with numerous not-for-profit, social service agencies for the provision of human services programming for the Elevate! 1.0 program.
Exhibit A of Ordinance No. 1825-2023 included 44 agencies receiving a total of $4,550,000.00.
It was recently discovered that, due to a clerical error, 11 of the agencies were assigned incorrect grant amounts. Exhibit A of this ordinance details the 11 agencies, the original amounts legislated, and the requested amended amounts.
The total of all Grant Amounts will now be $4,600,000.00 (An increase of $50,000).

Emergency action is requested in order to reimburse for approved expenses incurred since July 1, 2023, to prevent the organizations from experiencing financial hardship.
FISCAL IMPACT: $50,000.00 will be available upon the passage of the amendment to Ordinance No. 1826-2023.
