Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the transfer of funds between OCA codes within the General Government Grant Fund and the expenditure of $417,500 to modify and increase the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2) Consortium Agreement with Columbus Housing Partnership. The City of Columbus is the Lead Applicant of the NSP2 Consortium which is an association of seven organizations and government entities formed for the purpose of applying for and implementing NSP2 funds. Columbus Housing Partnership is a member of the NSP2 Consortium. Prior ordinance number 0156-2010 authorized the Director of the Department of Development to enter into consortium funding agreements with members of the NSP2 Consortium. Companion legislation 1278-2010 amends 0156-2010 to establish correct object levels. The NSP2 funds will provide for the acquisition, rehabilitation, redevelopment or demolition of foreclosed, abandoned and vacant properties in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of housing values.

Emergency action is requested to avoid interruptions in program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this transfer and expenditure are available from the General Government Grant Fund. The City of Columbus was awarded NSP2 grant funds under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
