RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Wendel Brunner, M.D.), to accept grant award #28-701-3 (#90CX0006/01) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for the Children and Families (ACF), Family and Youth Services Bureau, in an amount not to exceed $200,000 annually for up to five years, to fund the Runaway and Homeless Youth programs, for the operation of Appian House Transitional Housing Program for youth ages 18-21 in Contra Costa County, for the period from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2013.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of these funds awarded is necessary for the development and operation of a transitional housing program for homeless young adults. State funds already allocated to Appian House will be used to satisfy the ten percent (10%) applicant match required by the Runaway and Homeless Youth grant. In addition, in-kind resources have been leveraged from other public entities such as the County Mental Health to support the project. No additional County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

On May 8, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved submission of application #28-701-2 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for the Children and Families (ACF), Family and Youth Services Bureau, for funding rough the Transitional Living Program for Runaway and Homeless Youth to support Appian House Transitional Housing Program for youth ages 18-21 in Contra Costa County. Approval of Grant Award agreement #28-701-3 will fund housing, educational and vocational opportunities, and life skills over an 18-month period to homeless young people per year that will enable them to become self-sufficient, productive adults.

Three sealed/certified copies of this Board Order should be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
