Explanation

BACKGROUND: The HOPWA program provides for the implementation of long-term comprehensive strategies for meeting the housing needs of low income persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. Columbus AIDS Task Force (Contract Compliance No. 311126780), Pater Noster House (Contract Compliance No. 311118086), and Lancaster Fairfield Community Action Organization (Contract Compliance No. 316060695) submitted proposals during an RFP process completed in October 2008. These agencies were the only providers who specialize exclusively in assisting income-eligible individuals/households living with HIV/AIDS in the eight county EMSA. Additional targeted housing assistance is now needed due to a withdrawal of Pater Noster House, one of the HOPWA Project Sponsors. This ordinance will authorize a modification and increase of the current contract with the Columbus AIDS Task Force for the period through December 31, 2010, in an amount not to exceed $80,000.00.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: This contract modification is entirely funded by grant awards from HUD. This grant does not generate revenue or require a City match.
