RECOMMENDATION(S):

Correct the board order which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on January 13, 2009 with Contra Costa County Community Development to authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Wendel Brunner, M.D.), accept an amount up to $470,000 of CDBG funding instead of $400,000, for the development of the Respite Interim Housing Program, for fiscal year 2009-2010.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The $470,000 requested in EHAP Capital Development is necessary to enhance the Adult Interim Housing Program in order to serve those who are medically fragile and homeless. CDBG requires a 25% match which was met through State of California Emergency Housing and Assistance Capital Development (EHAPCD) funds previously awarded to the County under another grant. No additional County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department seeks funding through the Contra Costa County Community Development’s Affordable Housing Program to support the conversion of 2047-D Arnold Industrial Way in Concord for respite housing for the homeless. The goal of this program is to provide outreach, short-term shelter, goal-oriented counseling, and health services to medically fragile homeless individuals living on the streets or recently discharged from hospitals.

On January 13, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved submittal of application #20-1016 to Contra Costa Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), for the County to develop and transmit an application, along with the necessary certification and assurances for the development of the Respite Interim Housing Program, for fiscal years 2009-2010.

The purpose of this Board Order is to correct the accepted amount of $470,000 in CDBG funding instead of $400,000 for the Respite Interim Housing Program through November 30, 2010.
