Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Franklin County Department of Job & Family Services. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $99,995 in grant money to fund the Respite Care grant program.

The Respite Care grant program provides support for families to achieve stability by reducing barriers through outreach efforts. Services will reduce stress in households; provide infant stimulation; and assist mothers with tasks or care for other children so mothers can attend medical appointments or follow physician orders for bed-rest. This grant is for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.
