Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a contract with Catholic Social Services to support the operation of the Chores Program. The contract will provide $50,000 from the Community Development Block Grant Fund.

The Chores Program provides minor home maintenance and repair services to low and low/moderate-income elderly and disabled homeowner-occupants in the City of Columbus. Examples of program services include replacement or repair of leaking faucets and commodes, faulty light fixtures and switches, loose or missing sections of porch decking or steps and installation of handrails, smoke detectors and deadbolt locks. Eligible homeowners may receive up to $800 in home repairs within one calendar year. Catholic Social Services will be the program provider to neighborhoods on the south and west sides of the City. This program will help about 100 households.

Emergency action is required to allow program services to continue without interruption.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this expenditure are allocated from the 2004 Community Development Block Grant Fund budget.
