RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-105 with Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Oakland, dba Catholic Charities of the East Bay, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $725,000, to provide homeless prevention services to individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless for the period from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures in an amount up to $725,000 and is funded 83% by Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Grant funds ($600,000) and 17% by Measure X funds ($125,000).

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of county’s population by providing homeless prevention services to at least ninety-six (96) individuals and families at-risk of experiencing homeless in Contra Costa County. Services include housing problem solving strategies to stabilize existing housing, conflict resolution, landlord and tenant mediation, financial assistance to assist with utility or rent arrears, first month’s rent or deposit, and other costs associated with relocating to more stable housing. Catholic Charities of the East Bay was selected through County’s request for proposal (RFP) process.

Under new Contract #25-105, this contractor will provide homeless prevention services to individuals and families in Contra Costa County through December 31, 2024. This new contract was delayed due to a prolonged RFP process to select a contractor.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of being homeless will not have access to contractor’s support services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
