RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #29-817-3 with the City of Walnut Creek, including agreeing to indemnify the City, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $88,472 to provide homeless outreach services under the Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) Program, for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will allow the County to receive an amount not to exceed $88,472 from the City of Walnut Creek. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The CORE Program services locate and engage 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)

On September 24, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #29-817-2 to receive funds from the City of Walnut Creek for the provision of the CORE Program, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

Approval of Agreement #29-817-3 will allow County to receive funds for homeless outreach services through June 30, 2021. This agreement includes 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 agreement is not approved, County will not receive funding and without such funding, the CORE program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
