Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify the current contracts of various social service agencies throughout Central Ohio to continue the provision of services for an additional 12 months. The total amount of these contract modifications is $1,018,946.00.

This ordinance represents programs to be funded following the Department of Development's competitive procurement process. The legislation targets those social service agencies that will provide help to families and households through access to self-sufficiency, information and referral, services to new populations, school resources, legal assistance and material assistance. In addition, the city supports programs and activities so that the greater population is assured access to information, technical and other community assistance. These programs include childcare and housing referral, emergency services, literacy initiatives, community mediation, and planning activities. This funding will allow the process to continue.

This ordinance is an emergency due to these agencies accruing program expenses associated with operations.

FISCAL IMPACT: In 2006, a total of $3,303,292.00 has been allocated to fund social service programs through the General Fund.
