Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Office of CelebrateOne has been awarded funds from the Ohio Department of Health for targeted services for homeless youth and homeless pregnant youth. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $68,678.00 in grant money to support the Healthy Beginnings at Home program for the time period of July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022.
The funds will be used to enter into a non-profit service contract with The Center for Healthy Families for targeted services for homeless youth and homeless pregnant youth in support of the Healthy Beginnings at Home program. These services cannot be provided for by current employees at this time.
