RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #28-694-18 with the City of Concord Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), to increase the amount payable to the County by $11,450 and to extend the termination date to June 30, 2019, for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program .

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment agreement will allow the County to receive an amount not to exceed $11,450, for fiscal year 2018/2019, from the City of Concord to operate the Adult Interim Housing Program. No County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

On October 17, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #28-694-16 with the City of Concord CDBG, as amended by Amendment Agreement #28-694-17, for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program for fiscal years 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 per year. The CDBG 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 Amendment #28-694-18 will allow County to receive additional funds from the City of Concord to continue providing services, through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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