Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a continuation grant from the Ohio Children's Trust Fund through the Kids in Different Systems agency. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $75,000 in grant money to fund the In-Home Parenting program for the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005
The In-Home Parenting program provides a parenting advisor who models appropriate childcare, play, discipline, parent support and education for pregnant women living in high abuse areas of Franklin County.
