Explanation

BACKGROUND: Ordinance 0816-2009, passed June 15, 2009, approved the grant applications of the Columbus Urban League programs (Victim's Assistance Program and the African-American Male Initiative) seeking financial assistance to address emergency human service needs. Those grants represented an initial allocation of Emergency Human Services Funds for partial 2009 funding. Ordinance 0619-2009, passed on September 14, 2009, provided a supplemental allocation of General Fund dollars to the Victim's Assistance Program but not the African-American Male Initiative.

This ordinance provides a supplemental General Fund allocation of $53,550 for the Columbus Urban League's African-American Male Initiative. This program was not included in the previous 0619-2009 ordinance.

This ordinance represents a program funded following the Department of Development's application process. The legislation targets those social service agencies that will provide help to families and households through access to self-sufficiency, counseling, transportation, youth programs, childcare, senior services and treatment services.

Emergency action is requested in order to expedite payment to the agency to pay for on-going program expenses.

FISCAL IMPACT: In 2009, a total of $1,390,517.00 was allocated to fund social service programs through the General Fund.
