Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify the grants of various social service agencies throughout Central Ohio. The modifications will provide additional funding for the 2009 program year. These agencies received partial 2009 funding through an initial allocation from either the Emergency Human Services Fund or the Community Development Block Grant Fund. These modifications provide a supplemental allocation from the General Fund.
This ordinance represents programs funded following the Department of Development's application process. The legislation targets those social service agencies that will provide help to families and households through access to self-sufficiency, counseling, transportation, youth programs, childcare, senior services and treatment services. In addition, the city supports programs and activities so that the greater population is assured access to information, technical and other community assistance. These programs include childcare and housing referral, literacy education, community mediation, and planning activities. This ordinance will provide to these programs an additional $1,182,972.00 from the General Fund for the 2009 program year.
This ordinance is presented as an emergency to allow program services to continue without interruption and to facilitate payment of accrued program expenses associated with operations.
FISCAL IMPACT: In 2009, a total of $1,390,517.00 is allocated to fund social service programs through the General Fund. This ordinance will provide to these programs an additional $1,182,972.00 from the General Fund for the 2009 program year. The balance of funds available will be obligated through companion legislation.
