RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute the following:

A. Agreement #29-539-7 (VA #36C26118D0102) with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System (VANCHCS), a Government Agency, for the provision of emergency shelter and mental health services at the Philip Dorn Respite Center in Concord, for the period from September 29, 2018 through September 28, 2023; and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

B. Agreement #29-539-8 (VA #612-18-3-2973-0047) with VANCHCS, a Government Agency, to pay the County in an amount of $129,020.20 for the provision of emergency shelter and mental health services at the Philip Dorn Respite Center in Concord, for the period from September 29, 2018 through September 28, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of these Agreements will result in funds from VANCHCS for the Central County’s Adult Interim Housing Program, Philip Dorn Respite Center in Concord through September 28, 2023. Agreement #29-539-8 will allow VANCHCS to pay County in an amount of $129,020.20 for 2018/2019. (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 County's 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 and #29-539-6, to receive funding to support emergency shelter housing for homeless veterans of Contra Costa County through September 28, 2018.

Approval of Grant Agreements #29-539-7 and #29-539-8 will allow the County to receive funds to support the Central County’s Adult Interim Housing Program Philip Dorn Respite Center in Concord through September 28, 2023. 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.
