RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/322 authorizing the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to apply for and execute a contract to accept State of California (State) Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds in an amount not to exceed $557,286 for eligible activities to assist homeless individuals and families with services to regain permanent housing as approved by the State in accordance with all State ESG Program requirements and other applicable rules and laws.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No General Fund impact. All funds are provided to the County on a formula basis through the State of California. The State ESG funds are allocated to the State by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and then distributed to eligible local Administrative Entities. Contra Costa County is an eligible Administrative Entity. The estimated State ESG formula allocation to the County is $278,643; however, additional funds may become available from disencumbered expired ESG contracts. Application instructions from the State recommend listing an approved dollar amount that is at least double the formula allocation, or $557,286, in order to receive additional funds if they become available. The attached table of recommended State ESG allocations includes only the estimated amount. A portion of the funds are reserved for program administration in the County's Department of Conservation and Development.
