Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance appropriates $35,000.00 from the Emergency Human Services Fund to the Department of Development and authorizes the expenditure of these funds by directing the Director of the Department of Development to provide grant assistance to:

New Directions Career Center for $10,000.00 for rental assistance for the facility, the Cloth Center, at 199 East Rich Street

Central Ohio Diabetes Association for $25,000.00 for the Near Eastside Healthy Lifestyle Center.

This legislation represents agencies to be funded following the Emergency Human Service Application process. The legislation targets those social service agencies, with operating expense needs, which will provide help to families and households through employment, educational and/or health programs by assisting with the operating needs of individual agencies. In addition, the city supports programs and activities so that the greater population is assured access to other community assistance. This funding will allow the process to continue much needed services.

This ordinance is presented as an emergency to allow much needed grant assistance to begin immediately thereby avoiding interruptions in program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $35,000.00 has been allocated for these grants from the Emergency Human Service Fund.
