RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-084-2 with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. (dba Hope Solutions), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $209,531, to provide rapid re-housing services for homeless transition aged youth (TAY) in Contra Costa County to achieve self-sufficiency and housing stability, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $209,531 over a 2-year period and will be funded by 93% Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention Program (HHAPP) ($194,000) and 7% Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding ($15,531).

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing support services to Contra Costa County TAY who are homeless, including case management, benefits advocacy, employment services, job training and education services, and short–term rental assistance. The contractor has been providing rapid re-housing services for the County since January 1, 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 21, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-084 with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. (dba Hope Solutions) in an amount of $500,000 to provide wraparound case management and rapid re-housing services for homeless TAY in Contra Costa County to achieve self-sufficiency and housing stability for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

On June 22, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #25-084-1 to increase the payment limit by $31,719 to a new payment limit not to exceed $531,719 with no change in the term January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract #25-084-2 will allow this contractor to continue to provide rapid rehousing services through June 30, 2023. This contract renewal was delayed due to staff limitations with program design and decision making, as well as, lengthy negotiations with the contractor. In the future, the H3 division will work more closely with staff to ensure the contracting process is initiated timely and documents are executed promptly.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, homeless TAY in Contra Costa County will not receive housing assistance provided by this contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
