Background:
Community Development for All People’s (CD4AP) South End Café project, located at 1951 Parsons Avenue, is a social enterprise designed to provide good-paying jobs to those who are having a hard time finding employment, such as formerly incarcerated citizens and those who have been out of the workforce for an extended period of time.
Seven Baskets Community Development Corporation’s (Seven Baskets) Youth Services program, located on the east side of Columbus, provides in-person tutoring, after-school programs, family events, and school supplies to students in partnership with Columbus City Schools.
Ordinance 3221-2021 authorized the Department of Finance and Management to appropriate and expend $35,134.00 of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding through the Community Development for All People South Side Cafe subaward agreement and $18,790.00 of HUD CDBG funding through the Seven Baskets Community Development Corporation Youth Services subaward agreement.
This ordinance is needed to authorize the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to modify the two aforementioned subaward agreements to extend the time period of the agreements due to project delays.
Fiscal Impact: There is no additional funding required for this extension.
