Vote: Ogle, yea, Dickerson, yea, Waugh, yea.

GLEN CRIPPEN: Glen Crippen from HAPCAP is interested in applying for a grant for housing

assistance. It is funded through the Ohio Housing Trust Fund and is state money. They apply for this grant every two years and would like to submit an application again with the County’s support. It requires a two to one match, which they will cover with private money. This money funds small emergency home repair projects or homes that are at 50% of the area median income (low income). It fills in the gaps that they can’t hit when they serve people through the CHIP or weatherization program. Eligible amount of assistance per home is $7,500 which includes all the time, admin, preparations and inspections. They would like to apply for $181,000 which would cover 22 homes in Hocking, Athens and Perry counties. This is on a first come first serve basis and there is already a waiting list. Mr. Crippen requested his letter be put on the Commissioner’s letterhead and have it signed by Jeff Dickerson and back to him by the end of today (November 15, 2018) or by noon tomorrow. The funding from Columbia Gas (Warm Choice) to match goes towards tuning up furnaces and test for carbon monoxide.

Commissioner Ogle asked if the grant would cost the county money and Mr. Crippen responded with no since they would cover the match money.

Motion by Gary Waugh and seconded by Sandra Ogle.

Roll Call: Ogle, yea, Dickerson, yea, Waugh, yea.

HOCKING COUNTY CHILDREN’S CHORUS: Commissioner Dickerson commented on his phone call with the director of the Hocking County Children’s Chorus about applying for a target of opportunity grant. He was asking if Mr. Crippen would be able to provide any kind of help. Mr. Crippen asked if the target of opportunity was a CDBG and if it is that it is $200,000 chunks and the Commissioners would be the eligible applicants and their grant if it is block grant money. Commissioner Ogle asked if it was like the Senior Center and Homeless Shelter with a 100% match. Mr. Crippen said that it does sound like the CDBG. Commissioner Dickerson is supposed to get the particulars and get back with Mr. Crippen. Mr. Crippen said if it is CDBG that they would be more than happy to help take care of it. He did doubt that they would consider another grant at the same time as the Senior Center’s grant, but it did not hurt to ask. Mr. Crippen said he had never heard of them funding more than one and wasn’t sure if the Senior Center’s and the Homeless Shelters overlapped.

BENJAMIN FICKEL: Benjamin Fickel wanted to give an update on their grant and grant writer and also let the Commissioners know what their intentions are and that it is not to step on HAPCAP’s toes. It’s also not to take over the CDBG or CHIP program. He mentioned they are doing a great job, but the VOCA grant has to stay within the VOCA program. If they have an outside grant coordinator it is much more complicated and they are just going to do it separately. They are not looking to take over any of HAPCAP’s processes going on. The main goal is to look for new money. New grants that they have not heard about or had before. With a limited budget and in a limited amount of time (brief 6 months) they have already obtained over $1,000,000 and obtained 6 or 7 grants. Right now they are working on grants for fire departments within the county for ODNR. The latest one on the opiate grant (there is two), the smallest one is over $220,000 and just got approved. They are expecting it by December and the second one is still in the process. They are expecting that one to be done soon as well. Mr. Fickel said they will probably be working with HAPCAP and Tracy with Stantec. This is part of their budget increase and if they have questions about the program and how they are planning on operating it throughout the next year then he is available. Mr. Fickel said they met with Children’s Services and will be meeting again soon. Majority of that grant money will go to them for new programs. Also, may be putting someone in the High School full time and giving kids a better opportunity for them. Gretchen has been out and will be back at the first of the year, but has still been working on the opiate grants and fire department grants.
