RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to transmit an application along with the necessary certification and assurances, to the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) and accept funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Infrastructure/Public Facilities, in an amount not to exceed $50,000, for Fencing and Security improvements at the Brookside and Calli House shelters for the period from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funds requested of the Contra Costa Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) are essential to fund the fencing and security improvements needed to reduce vandalism and increase site safety. A 25% County match is required and will be funded by the department's current allocations.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department’s Health, Housing, and Homeless Services Division will fund the fencing necessary to improve site security of the facilities that operate 24/7 year-round. The CDBG funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to low-income residents of Contra Costa County. Current funding is not adequate for fencing and security improvements. Approval will allow the County to receive CDBG funding to support the County’s adult and youth shelter capital project improvements.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Health Services Department will not be able to apply for and receive additional funds to support facility improvements of adult shelters.
