RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Grant Agreement #28-694-16 with the City of Concord for its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $10,000 for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program for the period August 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement would result in funds from Concord CDBG in an amount not to exceed $10,000 to provide adequate emergency housing and supportive services to individuals year-round. County match of $2,000 is required.

BACKGROUND:

On March 21, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved submission of application with the City of Concord CDBG, for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program for fiscal year 2017-2018. The Health Services Department continues to seek funding 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. 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.

Approval of Grant Agreement #28-694-16 will allow the City of Concord to pay the County for continuous services and operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program through June 30, 2018. The County is agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor for claims arising out of County’s performance under this contract.

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.
