Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Office of CelebrateOne has been awarded funds from the CelebrateOne Community Fund and the Nationwide Foundation at the Columbus Foundation. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $141,000.00 in grant money to support continued work on the Connector Corps and Healthy Beginnings at Home Programs.
The Healthy Beginnings at Home program provides housing stabilization services to Medicaid eligible pregnant women to improve better birth outcomes. The Connector Corps also improves better birth outcomes through home visits and other related services to help pregnant women and infants to their first birthday.
