Summit County will use $565,243 in federal Community Development Block Grant money next year to fund projects ranging from tracking homeless trends to creating a doggie day care to replacing a sanitary sewer.
County Council on Monday approved the 2010 CDBG action plan.
Connie Krauss, county community and economic development director, said the county rejected about 50 percent of the funding requests this year.
The 11 projects are:
Area Agency on Aging: $9,000 for nutrition education for the elderly and low- to moderate-income people.
Battered Women's Shelter: $11,243 for domestic violence prevention.
H.M. Life Opportunity Services: $15,000 for operating costs for a transitional housing program site in Northfield Center Township.
Info Line: $15,000 for a program that tracks demographic information on the local homeless population for service providers.
Info Line: $85,000 for a program that provides emergency call buttons for eligible senior citizens. The buttons are not available for seniors in Akron, Barberton and Cuyahoga Falls, which have their own CDBG programs.
Shelter Care: $10,000 for the Highland Teen Pregnancy Shelter to expand such services as parenting skills, education, independent living and childbirth classes.
Rebuilding Together: $35,000 to help low- to moderate-income homeowners with minor repairs.
Nazareth Housing Development Corp.: $15,000 to help homeowners with minor repairs associated with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
City of Green: $250,000 to replace a sanitary sewer along Massillon Road from Wise Road to Stake Drive. The project will provide a sanitary sewer for Don Pancho's Mexican restaurant and promote future economic development, the county said.
Hattie Larlham: $100,000 to renovate an office and warehouse in Twinsburg Township to create a ''doggie day care'' and kennel.
Fair Housing Contact Service: $20,000 to provide discrimination complaint services, conduct testing and counseling.

I am a HUGE dog lover and have a dogsitter, BUT I just can't understand why $100,000 would go to a doggie day care instead of the Battered Women's Shelter or how about let's help the homeless that are all over Akron. Make a bigger Haven of Rest or something, not a doggie Day care. Geez.

kelli - I couldn't agree more. I know Hattie Larlham is a very worthwhile organization. But a "doggie daycare"? in this economy. Please don't waste my tax contirbution to the stimulas.

The stimulus wasnt about helping it was about making people feel good.
Everyone enjoying that new car the middle class
bought for you?
Every penny of stimulus money needs to go to the
sewer project.
