Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into grants with various social service agencies throughout Central Ohio for the provision of services for a twelve-month period. The total amount of these grants is $1,844,824.

This legislation represents agencies to be funded following the Emergency Human Services application process. The legislation targets those social service agencies that will provide help to families and households through employment, educational and/or 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.

Emergency action is requested to avoid interruptions in the delivery of vital program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: In 2009, a total of $2,100,000 has been allocated to fund social service programs through the Emergency Human Services Fund. This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $1,844,824 from the Emergency Human Services Fund. Companion legislation authorizes the expenditure of the balance of these funds.
