Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance appropriates $100,000.00 from the Emergency Human Services Capital Fund to the Department of Development and authorizes the expenditure of these funds by directing the Director of the Department of Development to provide grant assistance to:

Homeless Families Foundation, for $50,000.00 for the repair and upgrade of 12 shelter units located on North Glenwood Avenue: and

Goodwill Columbus, for $50,000.00 for repair and upgrade of the facilities at 1331 Edgehill Road.

This legislation represents agencies to be funded following the Emergency Human Service Application process. The legislation targets those social service agencies, with Capital expense needs, that will provide help to families and households through improved shelters and improved access to programs and services 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 to begin immediately thereby avoiding interruptions in program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $100,000.00 has been allocated for these grants from the Emergency Human Service Capital Fund.
