Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a grant agreement with Central Community House to provide the Child Care Services for a twelve-month period. This program serves children 6 weeks to 5 years old. It is targeted to low-income families who are in need of child care in order to seek or maintain employment or to remain in a training program.

This legislation represents a program funded following the Emergency Human Services application process. The legislation targets a social service agency that will provide help to families and households through Child Care Services by assisting with the operating needs of the agency. In addition, the city supports programs and activities so that the greater population is assured access to other community assistance. This funding will allow the process to continue much needed services.

Emergency action is necessary to avoid causing interruptions in the delivery of program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $23,118.00 from the Emergency Human Services Fund. In 2009, a total of $2,100,000 has been allocated to fund social service programs through the Emergency Human Services Fund. Companion legislation authorizes the expenditure of the balance of the funds.
