RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept Grant Award #28-789-12 (VA #612-21-1-2973-0005) with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System (VANCHCS), a Government Agency, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $212,736 for the provision of services and associated operating cost of West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond, for the period from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in $212,736 of funding from VANCHCS for the West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond. (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 November 5, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-789-11 to receive funding to support emergency shelter housing for homeless veterans of Contra Costa County for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

Approval of Grant Award #28-789-12 will allow the County to receive funds to support the West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond through September 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this award is not accepted, the County will not receive funding to support the veterans requiring homeless shelter.
