Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance appropriates $55,964.00 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:

Eldon Ward Family YMCA, for $25,000.00 to provide health, wellness and fitness programming at the facility;

Girls Incorporated of Central Ohio, for $30,964.00 to provide health and wellness programs, substance abuse prevention services, youth leadership and development and educational enrichment programs.

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 improved access to programs and services 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 grant assistance to begin immediately thereby avoiding interruptions in program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $55,964.00 has been allocated for these grants from the Emergency Human Service Fund.
