RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-660-16 with the City of Antioch for Community Development Department Block Grant (CDBG) funding, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $15,212, for operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $15,212 paid to the County. (No County funds required)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department applied for funding from the City of Antioch to operate the emergency shelter program at full capacity on a year-round basis. Each year, the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 800 individuals per year. The Community Development Block Grant program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to homeless persons of Contra Costa County. Without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On March 21, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved submission of Application #28-660-15 for service and operation of the County’s Adult Interim Housing Program for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

Approval of Agreement #28-660-16 will allow the County to receive CDBG funding from the City of Antioch, for service and operation of the County’s Adult Interim Housing Program through June 30, 2018. This agreement requires the County to indemnify the City for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding and without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
