RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-089-2 with Public Health Foundation Enterprise, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $3,061,305, to provide Coordinated Entry, Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) services, who work to locate, engage, stabilize and house chronically homeless individuals in Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $3,061,305 and is funded by 10% Federal funds ($290,496), 39% State funds ($1,204,467), and 46% Local Grants ($1,407,333), 5% County General Fund ($159,009).

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing CORE services to homeless individuals in Contra Costa County. CORE provides outreach services and serves as an entry point into the County’s coordinated entry system (CES) for unsheltered persons and work to locate, engage, stabilize and house chronically homeless individuals. Public Health Foundation Enterprise, Inc. has been providing CORE services to the County under this agreement since October 1, 2020.

On July 13. 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-089-1 with Public Health Foundation Enterprise, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $2,948,057 to provide coordinated entry, outreach, referral and engagement services for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract #25-089-2 will allow the contractor to continue to provide CORE services through June 30, 2023. This contract was delayed due the time needed to notify labor partners, and the unions requesting to meet and confer. The County has met its obligations with the respective labor partner(s).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, county will lack adequate capacity to provide outreach and shelter placement to homeless individuals and they will experience longer wait times for shelter and respite services.
