RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/358 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant award in an amount of $113,600 from the California Department of Housing and Community Development for the Transitional Housing Program (THP) Round 3 from the date of grant award through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive an amount not to exceed $113,600 from the State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development for up to three years grant period to fund the Transitional Housing Program (THP).
Funding is 100% State with no County match required.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, the County will continue to face an increasing number of homeless and runaway youth without access to housing and preventative services.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has allocated $8 million in grants to counties under the Transitional Housing Program (THP) authorized by item 2240-102-0001 of section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2021 (Chapter 69 of the Statutes of 2021) and Chapter 11.7 (commencing with Section 50807) of part 2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code.

The funds will be used to provide housing stability to help young adults aged 18 years and up to 24 years secure and maintain housing, with priority given to young adults in, or formerly in the foster care system. Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) will use the funding to support and expand existing THP programs and contracts with housing assistance programs in the County.

The Allocation Acceptance Form issued by HCD on October 1, 2021, relates to the availability of Transitional Housing Program (THP) Round 3 Allocation Funds; and the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department was mentioned in the Allocation Acceptance Form dated October 1, 2021.
