RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept Grant Award #28-789-13 (VA #612-22-1-3973-0001) with the Department of Veterans Affairs, a Government Agency, to pay the County an amount up to $56,251 for the provision of emergency housing and case management services and associated operating cost of West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond, for the period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this award will result in a funding of up to $56,251 from the Department of Veterans Affairs for the West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond. (No County match)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department seeks continuous funding to provide interim housing, treatment, and other services for homeless veterans that access the County’s emergency shelter program. Each year the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 75 homeless veterans of Contra Costa County. The Department of Veterans Affairs has been providing funds to the County for emergency shelter housing since October 1, 2011.  
  
On October 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-789-13 to receive funding in an amount not to exceed $218,781 to support emergency shelter housing for homeless veterans of Contra Costa County at West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond for the period October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.   
  
On February 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #28-789-14 to include COVID-19 safety protocol terms, with no change tin the amount payable to the County of $218,781 or the term October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.  
  
Approval of Grant Award #28-789-15 will allow the County to continue to receive funds to support the emergency shelter housing in Richmond through September 30, 2023. There was a delay with this request due to the division not receiving the agreement from the funder until October 13, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this award is not accepted, the County will not receive funding to support the veterans requiring homeless shelter.
