BACKGROUND: Ordinance number 1236-2013, approved by City Council on June 10, 2013, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with AIDS Resource Center Ohio in the amount of $400,000.00 to provide housing services to eligible persons living with HIV or AIDS in central Ohio (Franklin, Licking, Delaware, Morrow, Union, Madison, Pickaway and Fairfield counties) for the contract period of June 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014.
