IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — PARTNERSHIP WITH OAKLAND HOPE TO PROVIDE
HUMAN SERVICES ASSISTANCE FOR LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland Hope launched in 2016 as Oakland County's only non-profit one-stop shop human
service agency providing a wide-range of resources in a single location; and
WHEREAS Oakland Hope is a non-profit, volunteer-driven human service organization that has recently
formed within our county following in the footsteps of Focus Hope and Macomb Hope; and
WHEREAS Oakland Hope provides a client choice food pantry for the working poor, fulfilling a critical
nutritional need for low income individuals in the area; and
WHEREAS Oakland Hope aims to provide humanitarian services most requested by families in need,
including assistance in obtaining benefits, job training, and counseling; and
WHEREAS Oakland Hope receives regular donations and operates a thrift store, with a supply of clothing,
furniture and other household items; and
WHEREAS the 2016 report "Map the Meal Gap" from the organization Feeding America found that 164,400
individuals in Oakland County were "food insecure", meaning they met the USDA's definition of limited or
uncertain access to adequate food; and
WHEREAS the Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for the administration of the
human services functions of county government, including programs that are targeted to ensure maximum
availability of food and nutrition to low income residents of Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the Department of Health and Human Services has identified an opportunity to create a voucher
system to allow low income individuals to receive necessary items such as food or resale items that would
provide an excellent opportunity to partner with Oakland Hope.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
authorizes a one-time appropriation of $50,000 for a partnership with Oakland Hope to provide human
services assistance for low income individuals within a program to be administered by the Department of
Health and Human Services.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners requests that Corporation Counsel
negotiate an agreement with Oakland Hope and authorizes the Board Chairperson to execute said
agreement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes the transfer of funding in the
amount of $50,000 from the General Fund Assigned Fund Balance (G/L Account #383313) for Board of
Commissioners Projects to the General Fund Contracted Services line item within the Health and Human
