Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of $50,000.00 from the Emergency Human Services Capital Fund to enable the Department of Development to enter into a grant agreement with the Community Property Development Corporation. These funds represent a continuation of the City's commitment to support construction of a community-based health and wellness center, focused on providing healthcare to the residents of the near east side of Columbus and the surrounding area.

A prior grant agreement with the Corporation in the amount of $50,000 was executed in March of this year. All funds from that prior agreement have been expended.

Services and programs offered at the center will include: Healthcare, which will involve the use of organizations that will render affordable medical services for members of the near east community; Economic Development, where technical training and financial assistance will be provided to entrepreneurs who are interested in starting up businesses on the near east side through a small business incubator; Academic Education; represented by tutorial assistance for students K through 12 and adult education classes; and Housing, encompassing development of affordable housing through restoration and/or new construction in the service area. Home-ownership counseling will also be provided with this service.

This legislation is presented as an emergency measure to facilitate the processing of incurred costs in a timely manner.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this grant are allocated from the FY2006 Emergency Human Services Capital Fund.
