Explanation

BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the expenditure of $100,000 from the Development Director's General Fund budget for the support of the Columbus Franklin County Community Action Agency (CFCCAA).

Community Action Agencies were established to reduce poverty and to help low-income individuals and families become self-sufficient. CFCCAA was designated by the Ohio Department of Development in August 2007 as the official Community Action Agency serving Columbus and Franklin County.

FISCAL IMPACT:
$100,000 is available in the department's 2007 General Fund allocation for support of the Columbus Franklin County Community Action Agency.
