Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $55,000 in grant money to fund the Federal HIV Care grant program.

The Federal HIV Care grant program enables the Columbus Health Department to plan and evaluate activities related to improving local care services and to provide comprehensive case management services to persons living with HIV/AIDS and their support persons in central Ohio.

This grant is for the period April 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007.
