RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Amendment Agreement #28-660-14 with the City of Antioch for its Community Development Department, Block Grant (CDBG) funding, effective July 1, 2016, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $10,000, for continuation of the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $10,000 of emergency housing and supportive services to individuals year-round. (No County funds required)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department applied for funding from the City of Antioch to operate the 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. The Community Development Block Grant program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to homeless persons of Contra Costa County. Without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
On November 3, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved submission of Application and Agreement #28-660-13 for continuous services and operation of the County’s Adult Interim Housing Program and to perform all responsibilities in relation to receipt of the funding for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, including agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the City from any claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement.
Approval of Amendment Agreement #28-660-14 will allow the County to continue to receive CDBG funding from the City of Antioch, for continuous services and operation of the County’s Adult Interim Housing Program through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Amendment 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.
