Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $70,000.00 from the Emergency Human Services Operating Fund to the Department of Development and authorizes the expenditure of these funds by directing the Director of the Department of Development to enter into grant agreements with:

Kaleidoscope Youth Center, for $10,000, to operate a pre-packaged meal program to youth engaged in educational and social service activities on site.

Community Shelter Board, for $60,000, support the costs of the Homeless Management Information System as required by HUD to create a more comprehensive tracking, management and evaluation service for the Shelter Board, partner agencies and area funders.

The total amount of all grants is $70,000.00.

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 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 avoid interruptions in the delivery of vital program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $70,000.00 has been allocated for these grants from the Emergency Human Services Operating Fund.
