RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-661-11 with the City of Walnut Creek, to pay the County $6,000 of Community Development Block Grant funding to be used for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will allow the County to receive $6,000 in CDBG funding from the City of Walnut Creek CDBG to provide emergency housing and supportive services to individuals year-round. No additional County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department operates an 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 Community Development Block Grant program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is a source of public funding for the operation of the County’s Adult Interim Housing Program.

Approval of Agreement #28-661-11 will allow the County to receive CDBG funding from the City of Walnut Creek, for operation of the County’s Adult Interim Housing, through June 30, 2016.

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.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
