RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the report from the Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division of the Health Services Department with an update on homeless service activities and the Contra Costa Homeless Continuum of Care Annual Report for fiscal years 2015-16 and 2016-17.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact, the report is informational.

BACKGROUND:

On December 3, 1996, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Family and Human Service Committee oversight of services provided to the homeless in Contra Costa County. Since then the Health Services Department has presented annual updates to the Family and Human Service Committee.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 26, 2017, the Family and Human Services Committee received a report from the Health Services Department on homeless services (attachment entitled, "Report on Homelessness - As Presented to F&HS with FY 15-16 Annual Report". At this meeting, Health Services Department staff were directed to present the report to the full Board of Supervisors in the fall and to include information on the homeless services budget to get a better understanding of current funding sources. The attached report entitled, "Report on Homelessness - Revised with FY 16-17 Annual Report" includes an updated report and annual report that included funding source information.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board will not receive an update on homeless service activities in our County and funding sources that support these efforts.
