Analysis
This resolution amends Resolution No. RS2021-1152 to replace the exhibit to increase the availability of therapeutic services in Metropolitan Nashville provided by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) Family Intervention Program. RS2021-1152 appropriated $3,148,980 in American Recovery Plan Act (ARP) funds from the COVID ARP Fund #30216 to the Office of Family Safety (OFS). The exhibit described the use of the funds for support of nonprofit partners who provide therapeutic services to children and adults impacted by interpersonal violence.
The resolution under consideration updates the exhibit to reduce the total funding for nonprofits partners providing therapeutic services for those impacted by interpersonal violence and add funding to support OFS’s partnering with MNPD’s Family Intervention Program to provide therapeutic services for those impacted by interpersonal violence. The total amount of funding for OFS’s partnership with the MNDP’s Family Intervention Program would be $245,000. The amount of funding for nonprofit partners providing therapeutic services would be reduced from $1,069,490 to $824,490.
