Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into an agreement with The Father's House International, Inc. (an Ohio nonprofit 501(c) 3) to assist with the planning and preparation for the rehabilitation of an emergency shelter facility serving homeless individuals or families. The total amount of this agreement is $19,500 from the 2012 Capital Improvement Budget through the Emergency Shelter Repair Program. These funds are for architectural work, planning and preparation of Phase 1 of the project. Phase 2 will be funded in 2013.
The Emergency Shelter Repair Program provides Capital Improvement Bond funds for emergency shelter facilities in need of repair in order to improve services to homeless individuals or families. A building has been leased by the Community Shelter Board (CSB) for the purpose of establishing an overflow facility at times when current shelter capacity does not meet the demand for beds. CSB will lease the building from the current owner The Father's House International, Inc. The current phase of the project includes architectural work, preparation and planning, general trades, mechanical and electrical in order to bring the building to code for habitation. Additional phases of build out are expected to be requested in future years.
Emergency action is requested for this legislation in order to comply with the time line for the projects to begin construction.
FISCAL IMPACT: $19,500 is available for this project from the Housing Preservation Fund portion of the 2012 Capital Improvements Budget.
