Agenda Analysis

Analysis

This resolution accepts a grant from Camp Hope America to the Metropolitan Government, acting by and through the Office of Family Safety. The grant is an amount not to exceed $5,000, with no local cash match required. The grant funds would be used to develop an evidence-based camping and mentoring program for children impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. The Office of Family Safety would be required to attend monthly webinars, attend the Camp Hope America track at the 21^st Annual International Family Justice Center Conference, and work to facilitate a camp in the summer of 2022. If the Office of Family Safety does not implement the camp in 2022, the $5,000 grant would need to be paid back to Camp Hope America.
