RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-090-1 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $3,443,765 to operate Delta Landing Interim Housing Program (previously East County Interim Housing Program), which provides interim housing for homeless adults over 18 years of age living in East Contra Costa County for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $3,443,765 for FY 2022/2023 and is funded 100% by Project Homekey California.

BACKGROUND:

Under the terms of this agreement, the contractor will operate a 172-room, low-barrier, permanent housing-focused interim housing program serving homeless adults over 18 years of age living in East Contra Costa County without custody of minor children at 2101 Loveridge Road in Pittsburg, CA. The contractor will provide staffing twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week which will include coordinating admissions and exits, coordinating meal services, providing onsite wellness checks and ensuring individuals have their basic needs met with clothes, food, and hygiene supplies.

On April 27, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved County Contract #25-090 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $3,911,380 to operate the East County Interim Housing Program (now Delta Landing Interim Housing Program), which provides interim housing for homeless adults over 18 years of age living in East Contra Costa County for the period of April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract #25-090-1 will allow the contractor to continue to provide interim housing for homeless residents in East County through June 30, 2023. The Health, Housing and Homeless Serviceds Division undertook activities to implement standardized program models to ensure consistency and accountability in the County's system of care and gained community approval, including approval from the Council on Homelessness and the Continuum of Care, in June 2022. Due to this undertaking, the division encountered delays with the delivery of contracts across the division's provider network. This contract was further delayed due the meet and confer processes as requested by unions. The County has met its obligations with the respective labor partner(s).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, East County’s homeless individuals will not receive interim housing, further putting the resident and community at risk.
