RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Agreement #29-817 with the City of Walnut Creek, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $71,629 for provision of homeless outreach services for the Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) Program, for the period from July 6, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will allow the County to receive an amount not to exceed $71,629 from the City of Walnut Creek to provide homeless outreach services for not less than 20 hours per week. No additional County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

The CORE Program locates and engages homeless clients throughout Contra Costa County. CORE teams serve as an entry point into the County’s coordinated entry system for unsheltered persons and work to locate, engage, stabilize and house chronically homeless individuals and families.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Agreement #29-817 will allow the County to assure the City of Walnut Creek that it receives a minimum of 20 hours per week of outreach services, through June 30, 2018. This agreement includes agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the contractor for claims arising out of the County’s performance under this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding and without such funding, the CORE program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
