Franklin County Public Health

Franklin County Public Health, a county government entity based in Columbus, Ohio, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, with no prime contracting activity. The organization has received three federal grant sub-awards totaling $425 thousand, all routed through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5, with work beginning in March 2023 and most recently obligated in October 2025.

Franklin County Public Health's grant footprint centers on community health assessment and environmental quality work. The organization serves as a sub-recipient under the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) on EPA-funded initiatives. In a March 2023 sub-award, FCPH identified homes eligible for Healthy Homes assessment and repair, with staff completing Healthy Homes Assessor certification training to serve as the community liaison between residents and MORPC. In a follow-on October 2023 sub-award, also under MORPC as prime grantee, FCPH partnered to develop a Quality Assurance Project Plan meeting EPA requirements, executing work plan development, air sensor co-location and deployment, and community engagement activities. Most recently, in October 2025, FCPH received a sub-award for Health Homes Assessments and Repair work, indicating continuation of this capability line.

The organization's federal footprint is entirely sub-award and entirely concentrated with EPA Region 5, channeled through MORPC as the prime grantee. Activity shows two sub-awards in 2023 and one in 2025, with no prime grant or contract awards on record in the available data. Franklin County Public Health operates at the scale of a local public health authority delivering community health outreach and environmental assessment services in support of federal environmental and housing initiatives, with work performed through intermediary relationships rather than direct federal relationships.
