Columbus and Franklin County officials today announced $20 million in CARES Act funding for human services organizations in the region. Elon Simms of the Crane Group chaired the application review committee.

He said 110 agencies will receive grants, and the effects will be felt in a number of areas.

“In health, housing, workforce, food access and affordability, mental health, substance abuse, education, violence, community engagement, basic needs,” Simms continued. “These are just to name a few. My training as a social worker has taught me to recognize the importance for all of us to work together to enhance human well-being and to help meet basic needs of all people. What we’re seeing here locally is our county and city leadership coming together to ensure that needs are being met in this community and to support an inclusive path for long-term recovery.”

Columbus will use $15.3 million in CARES Act dollars to award grants to 80 organizations. Franklin County will fund the rest with another $5 million. Nearly 250 organizations applied for the grants, and officials hope additional federal funding becomes available.
