Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of $ 123,000.00 of the 2022 Housing Opportunity for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) entitlement grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; to authorize the Director of the Department of development to enter into a sub award not-for-profit service contract with Faith Mission, Inc. to provide housing services for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Historically the HOPWA grant has been managed and administrated by the Columbus Public Health (CPH). Starting with the 2022 grant year funds, the HOPWA grant will be managed and administered by the Department of Development (DOD), Division of Housing. In early 2022, CPH put forth Ordinance
0103-2022 to enter into a sub award not-for-profit service contract with LSS Faith Mission to provide HOPWA services. That ordinance and agreement provided a portion of funds needed for the 2022 program year. This sub award not-for-profit service contract, with Faith Mission, Inc. under the authority of the Director of the Department of Development, will be an original contract and will allow for reimbursement of expenses as of September 1, 2022.
LSS/Faith Mission submitted a proposal during an RFP process completed in August 2019 (RFQ012772). This sub award is for the third year of the five year contract period.
This legislation represents appropriation for a part of the HOPWA portion of the 2022 Action Plan, per Ordinance 2800-2021.
Emergency action is requested to allow for uninterrupted services.
