RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Agreement #29-604-2 with the City of Walnut Creek, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $17,000 for the operation of the Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) program, for the period from July 6, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will allow the County to receive an amount not to exceed $17,000 ($5,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds and $12,000 in Community Service Grant funds) from the City of Walnut Creek to provide homeless outreach services to individuals year-round. No additional County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

The CORE program provides homeless outreach services aimed at identifying unsheltered homeless individuals, transitioned aged youth and families living outside and in locations not meant for human habitation.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On March 21, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-604 with the City of Walnut Creek to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Community Service Grant (CSG) funds for the operation of the CORE program from January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017.

Approval of Agreement #29-604-2 will allow the County to continue to receive CDBG and CSG funds to provide outreach services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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