RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #28-372-2 with the City of Richmond for its Police Department, a government agency, to increase the amount payable to the County by $100,000, from $100,000 to a amount not to exceed $200,000, and to extend the termination date from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2020, for the Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) Program to provide additional homeless outreach services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Amendment Agreement will allow the County to receive an amount not to exceed $200,000 from the City of Richmond for its Police Department to provide homeless outreach services. No County match is 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.

On October 16, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-372-1 with the City of Richmond for its Police Department to receive funds to operate the CORE Program and provide homeless outreach services through June 30, 2019.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #28-372-2 will allow the County to provide additional homeless outreach services through June 30, 2020. The County is agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor for claims arising out of County’s performance under this Contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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