Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance appropriates $92,274.00 from the Emergency Human Services Capital Fund to the Department of Development and authorizes the expenditure of these funds by directing the Director of the Department of Development to enter into grant agreements with:

The Breathing Association for $35,950.00 for capital improvements and alarm systems for the free clinic at 1500 Old Henderson Road.

Asian American Community Services for $22,824.00 for renovation and construction costs and computer equipment for ESL classes at the facility at 4100 North High Street, Suite 301.

Stonewall Columbus, Inc. for $33,500.00 for capital improvements and security systems for the facility at 1160 North High Street.

This legislation represents agencies to be funded following the Emergency Human Service Application process. The legislation targets those social service agencies, with capital expense needs, that will provide help to families and households through improved access to programs and services by assisting with the capital 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 with much needed services.

This ordinance is presented as an emergency to allow facility improvements to begin immediately thereby avoiding interruptions in program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $92,274.00 has been allocated for these grants from the Emergency Human Service Capital Fund.
