On February 7, 2007, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) allocated $556,000 in Title XX supplemental funding as outlined in FAPMTL 27 and rule 5101:9-6-12.3 "Hurricane Katrina Supplemental Title XX Funds Allocation." Because there was not a high demand for funds at that time, ODJFS rescinded that rule effective June 1, 2007 (FAPMTL No. 35) and terminated this allocation for expenditures April 30, 2007. Since that time, the United States Department of Health and Human Services has extended the deadline to September 30, 2009. It is the goal of ODJFS to fully expend these funds to provide support to those evacuees displaced since the Gulf Coast hurricane season of 2005. Therefore, ODJFS will reallocate the remaining $439,588.10 to those county agencies that requested funding, to provide assistance to evacuees via a survey issued by the ODJFS Office of Children and Families. Funding details are outlined in new rule 5101:9-6-12.31 "Gulf Coast Hurricane Relief Allocation."

Activities must be reported on the JFS 02827.

Questions should be directed to your ODJFS fiscal supervisor and/or the Bureau of County Finance and Technical Assistance (BCFTA) at (614) 752-9194.
