Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $15,000 from the Emergency Human Services Fund to the Department of Development and authorizes the expenditure of these funds by directing the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a grant agreement with Community Development for All People to assist with costs for temporary staffing, space and supplies for the transition of the Southside Settlement House programs.
This grant is awarded following the Emergency Human Services application process and targets a social service agency that will provide help directly and indirectly to families and households through employment, educational and health programs by assisting with the capital needs of individual agencies. In addition, the city supports programs and activities so that the greater population is assured access to other community assistance. This funding will allow the process to continue much needed services.
This ordinance is presented as an emergency to allow facility improvements and program requirements to begin immediately thereby avoiding interruptions in program services.
FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $15,000.00 has been allocated for this grant from the Emergency Human Services Fund.
