Explanation
Background:
Ordinance 3360-2022 authorized the City to enter into Community Development Block Grant funded subrecipient agreements with Franklinton Development Association and Renew Homes Ohio, however, it is necessary to amend the ordinance to appropriate additional funds, and to add Community Shares of Mid Ohio dba In(form)ed, LLC to the agreement with Renew Homes Ohio. The City of Columbus Department of Finance and Management is seeking to provide $30,000.00 in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act supplemental Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery (ARPA) Fund to Franklinton Development Association (FDA) to pay stipends to graduates of the Life Skills Training Program, and is seeking to provide Community Development Block Grant Funds to support a Home Ownership Maintenance and Repair Program to be managed by Renew Homes Ohio. Pursuant to an agreement, In(form)ed, LLC acts as the fiscal sponsor to Renew Homes Ohio, and will be providing fiscal services and administrative support for the program. Because In(form)ed, LLC will directly receive funds from the City, the Department of Finance and Management seeks authorization to add it to the subrecipient agreement.
Ordinance 3360-2022 authorized the Department of Finance and Management to appropriate and expend $130,000 of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding through the Franklinton Development Association Life Skills Training Program subrecipient agreement, and $300,000.00 of CDBG funds through the Renew Homes Ohio Home Ownership Maintenance and Repair Program subrecipient agreement.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance amends ordinance 3360-2022 to authorize the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to appropriate and authorize the expenditure of funds not to exceed $30,000.00 from ARPA funding (fund 2209). ($30,000.00)
