RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #29-806-9 with the City of Concord, to amend Agreement #29-806-8 to increase the amount payable to the County by $12,500, from $12,500 to a new amount of $25,000 for the provision of homeless outreach services for the Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) Program and to extend the term from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment agreement will allow the county to receive an additional amount of $12,500, for Fiscal Year 2023-24, from the City of Concord to provide homeless outreach services. No County match 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 August 1, 2023 the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #29-806-8 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, 2022 through June 30, 2023. This agreement included the County agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the City for claims arising out of County’s performance under this agreement.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #29-806-9 will allow county to receive additional funds from the City of Concord to continue providing homeless outreach services, through June 30, 2024. This Amendment/Extension is retroactive due to the Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division not receiving the agreement until June 23, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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