Explanation
CelebrateOne, in the Office of the Mayor, has been awarded additional grant funds from the Columbus Foundation CareSource Foundation. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $74,490.00 in grant monies to fund the Healthy Beginnings at Home program for the period beginning April 1, 2019 and ending January 3, 2020.
The Healthy Beginnings at Home program provides rental subsidies and housing stabilization services to Medicaid-eligible pregnant women with medical needs who are experiencing housing instability. As part of this work, CelebrateOne and its partners are examining whether the intervention leads to improved birth outcomes, reduced risk for infant mortality and better health outcomes for women and their infants in Franklin County.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as not to delay program services and to allow the financial transactions to be posted to the City’s accounting system as soon as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Healthy Beginnings at Home program is supported by public and private grants, including funds from the Columbus Foundation CareSource Foundation (Grant #G401803) and others in the Private Grant Fund (No. 2291). This program does not generate any revenue or require a City match.
