RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #29-806-8 with the City of Concord to pay the County an amount not to exceed $12,500 for the provision of homeless outreach services for the Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) Program for the period July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will allow the county to receive an amount up to $12,500, for Fiscal Year 2022-23, from the City of Concord to provide homeless outreach services. No County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

CORE teams serve as an entry point into the County’s coordinated entry system for unsheltered persons and work to locate, engage, stabilize and house chronically homeless individuals and families. County has been providing homeless outreach service under this contract since July 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 15, 2020 the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment #29-806-6 to receive funds in an amount of $12,500 from the City of Concord for the provision of homeless outreach services for the CORE Program which locates and engages homeless clients throughout Contra Costa County for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

On September 14, 2021 the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment #29-806-7 with the City of Concord to receive additional funds in an amount not to exceed $12,500 and to extend the termination date from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022 for additional homeless outreach services for the CORE Program.

Approval of Grant Agreement #29-806-8 will allow county to receive funds from the City of Concord to continue providing homeless outreach services, through June 30, 2023. This agreement includes the County agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the City for claims arising out of County’s performance under this agreement. This agreement is late due to an oversight by the Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division administrative staff.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, county will not receive funding and without such funding, the CORE program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
