RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #29-829 with the City of Richmond that includes modified indemnification language, to pay the County an amount up to $380,958 to provide homeless outreach services under the Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) Program, for the period July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will allow the County to receive up to $380,958 over an 18-month period from the City of Richmond. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The CORE Program works collaboratively in small teams to engage and stabilize individuals experiencing homelessness to build rapport, identify appropriate resources, and link to housing programs that can end their housing crisis permanently. The CORE program staff will provide targeted street outreach and linkage services to individuals experiencing homelessness and will work collaboratively with Healthcare for the Homeless, Behavioral Health services, Coordinated Entry service providers, and other community-based programs providing services in the County.

Approval of Agreement #29-829 will allow the County to receive funds for homeless outreach services through December 31, 2023. This agreement includes agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the City of Richmond for claims arising out of the County’s performance under this agreement.

There was a delay in requesting approval of this contract due to the County not receiving the agreement from the City of Richmond until November 8, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding and the CORE program will have to operate at a reduced capacity.
