RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHRORIZE the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute Amendment Agreement #29-539-6 (VA #261-15-C-0105) with the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System, to increase the amount payable to the County by $124,100 from $248,200 to a new amount payable of $372,300 and extend the term through September 28, 2018, to continue providing services and cover the associated operating cost of the Philip Dorn Respite Center through the Central County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Concord.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will provide an additional payment of $124,100 to the County, for the West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program at the Philip Dorn Respite Center in Concord, through September 28, 2018. (No County match)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department seeks continuous funding to provide interim housing, treatment, and other services for homeless veterans that access the Philip Dorn Respite Center through the Central County emergency shelter program. Each year the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 75 homeless veterans of Contra Costa County.

On February 2, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #29-539-4, as amended by Amendment Agreement #29-539-5, to receive continuous funding to support emergency shelter housing for homeless veterans of Contra Costa County through September 28, 2017.

Approval of this Amendment Agreement #29-539-6 will allow the County to continue to receive funds to support the Central County’s Adult Interim Housing Program Philip Dorn Respite Center in Concord through September 28, 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 to support the veterans requiring homeless shelter.
