Analysis
This resolution appropriates grant funds from the Martha O’Bryan Center to the Metropolitan Action Commission (“MAC”) in an amount not to exceed $160,000 with no local cash match required. This grant is part of the Martha O’Bryan Center’s Tennessee Opportunity Pilot Initiative Grant and will formalize the parties’ relationship while collaborating on direct services, capacity building, collaborative activities, and grant compliance.
Pursuant to the collaboration agreement, MAC will employ two family-centered coaches who will spend all of their time on Our Chance TN, an initiative from the Tennessee Alliance for Economic Mobility that “endeavors to support families in moving beyond the benefits cliff.” The term of the agreement is effective November 1, 2024, and ends October 31, 2025.
