Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus State Community College is the primary grantee of a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the Family and Community Violence Prevention grant program. The Columbus Health Department will partner with the Columbus State Community College as a sub-grantee to provide drug, alcohol, and violence prevention and wellness education. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $82,669.00 to fund the Family and Community Violence Prevention grant program, for the period September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011.

The primary objective of the Family and Community Violence Prevention grant program is to provide violence, alcohol, and drug prevention as well as wellness education to youth ages 10 through 13. The emphasis will be on health and wellness to Somali Bantu youth residing in the Wedgewood Apartment Complex.
