Explanation

BACKGROUND: Ordinance 0626-2009, passed June 15, 2009, approved the grant applications of various social service agencies seeking financial assistance to address emergency human service needs. Those grants represented an initial allocation of Emergency Human Services Funds for partial 2009 funding. Ordinance 0617-2009, passed on September 14, 2009, provided a supplemental allocation of General Fund dollars to those programs.

This ordinance provides supplemental General Fund allocations of $35,700 for the IMPACT/Community Action Agency computer training program and an additional $8,855 for the Somali Association for Central Ohio for refugee and resettlement services. These programs were not included in the previous 0617-2009 ordinance.

This ordinance represents programs funded following the Department of Development's application process. The legislation targets those social service agencies that will provide help to families and households through access to self-sufficiency, counseling, transportation, youth programs, childcare, senior services and treatment services.

Emergency action is requested in order to expedite payment to the agencies to pay for on-going program expenses.

FISCAL IMPACT: In 2009, a total of $1,390,517.00 was allocated to fund social service programs through the General Fund. All other program grants were provided additional General Fund dollars through Ordinance 0617-2009, passed on September 14, 2009.
