Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the transfer of $1,500,000 between OCA codes within the General Government Grant Fund to modify and increase the NSP2 Consortium Agreement with Columbus Housing Partnership. The City of Columbus is the Lead Applicant of the NSP2 Consortium which is an association of seven organizations and government entities formed for the purpose of applying for and implementing NSP2 funds. Columbus Housing Partnership is a member of the NSP2 Consortium. Prior ordinance 0156-2010 authorized the Director of the Department of Development to enter into consortium funding agreements with members of the NSP2 Consortium. The NSP2 funds will provide for the acquisition, rehabilitation, redevelopment or demolition of foreclosed, abandoned and vacant properties in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of housing values.

Emergency action is requested to avoid interruptions in program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available from a Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2) grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). $1,500,000 will be transferred between OCA Codes within the General Government Grant Fund and expended. Auditor's Certificate AC031459/001 will be partially cancelled to provide the funds.
