RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept on behalf of the County Grant Award #29-603-3 (CA1394L9T051803) with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for McKinney-Vento Act funds, to pay County an amount not to exceed $550,344, for the County’s Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry Project to provide supportive services to homeless residents, for the period from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this award will result in an amount not to exceed $550,344, payable to the County from HUD McKinney-Vento Act funds for County’s Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry Project. (Required match of $137,586 will be provided by County)

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Continuum of Care (CoC), through its Inter-jurisdictional Council on Homelessness was awarded funds for the Coordinated Entry Project. The Contra Costa Coordinated Entry Project has implemented a coordinated assessment system to stream line access to housing and services while addressing barriers and getting the right resources to the right people, at the right time. Serving all homeless clients throughout the County, this project will support outreach team staff to locate and engage clients in the Coordinated Entry System, supported by housing navigators in our crisis response system. `

On July 24, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-603-2 for the period from October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019.

Approval of Grant Award #29-603-3 will allow the County to continue to receive funding for the CoC Coordinated Entry Project, through September 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this award is not accepted, the County will not receive funding to support the CoC Coordinated Entry Project and homeless residents will not receive their supportive services.
