Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Executive Director of the Office of CelebrateOne, on behalf of the Mayors Office, to modify services contract with The Center for Healthy Families, Inc, a non-profit corporation. The original contract utilized funding from the Ohio Department of Medicaid Grant (G402500) for home visiting services. This modification is necessary to continue the work, aimed at reducing the infant mortality rate in the City of Columbus, as home visiting is no longer covered by the Ohio Department of Medicaid.
The contract is for the period of January 1st 2025 to December 31st 2025. This modification is to edit the services from “home visiting” to “young parental support and educational services”. There is no additional fiscal cost for this modification. The need for the change has arisen due to changes in the reimbursable costs via the Department of Medicaid that have occurred over the timeline of this grant cycle. It is in the best interest of the City to finish the work of this grant, by allowing the Center for Healthy Family to continue their other programming endeavor that also strives towards the goal of reducing the infant mortality rate. These services are already known and the costs are comparable to the initial home visiting services.
This Ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the relevant provisions of Chapter 329 of City Code pertaining to contract modifications.
