Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance appropriates $81,100.00 from the Emergency Human Services Fund to the Department of Development and authorizes the expenditure of these funds by directing the Director of the Department of Development to provide grant assistance to:

Columbus Works, for $25,500 for the Young Adult Job Readiness Program

Keren Emrich Foundation, DBA Road of Life, for $50,000 for the Health Education for Academic Enrichment Program

Olde Southside Community Partnership, for $5,600 to support summer and after-school educational, cultural and social development activities for youth, grades K through 12.

This legislation represents agencies to be funded following the Emergency Human Service Application process. The legislation targets those social service agencies, with operating expense needs that will provide help to families and households through employment educational and health programs by assisting with the operating needs of individual agencies. 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.

This ordinance is presented as an emergency to allow facility improvements to begin immediately thereby avoiding interruptions in program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $81,100.00 has been allocated for these grants from the Emergency Human Services Fund.
