RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Wendel Brunner, M.D.), to accept Grant Award #28-798-1 (CA0189B9T050801) from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) McKinney-Vento funding in an amount not to exceed $177,477, for the Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program, for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This grant will result in $177,477 of funding from HUD, with a 20% match from the Department of Health and Human Services for the Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program. No additional County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

Permanent Connections Supportive Housing is scattered housing sites for homeless transition age youth, between the ages of eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24) with disabilities. Ten (10) units are set aside for youth, who are disabled by mental illness, substance abuse, HIV/AIDSs, or dual/multiple diagnoses and the program is designed to provide on-going supportive services with an emphasis on families maintaining their permanent, safe, and affordable housing.

Approval of Grant Award #28-798-1 will allow the County to perform all responsibilities in relation to receipt of the funding for the Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program through June 30, 2011.
