FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive $415,126 for THP Round 4 and $240,271 for HNMP Round 1, funding is 100% State with no County match required.  
  


FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
FY22-23 expenditure appropriations and revenue adjustments for the allocations will be included as part of the mid-year budget adjustment. FY23-24 revenue adjustments will be incorporated into the FY2023-2024 budget.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development issued an Allocation Acceptance Notification, dated November 1, 2022, under Round 4 of the THP, authorized by item 2240-102-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2022 (Chapter 249 of the Statutes of 2022) and Chapter 11.7 (commencing with Section 50807) of Part 2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code; and under Round 1 of the HNMP, authorized by item 2240-103-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2022 (Chapter 43 of the Statutes of 2022) and Chapter 11.8 (commencing with Section 50811) of Part 2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code. The Allocation Acceptance forms relate to the availability of THP Round 4 and HNMP Round 1 Allocation funds; and EHSD was mentioned in the Allocation Acceptance forms dated November 1, 2022.  
  
Allocated funds are to be used by counties to provide housing stability supports and services to help young adults ages 18 to 24 years of age, inclusive, secure and maintain housing with the priority given to young adults formerly in the foster care systems. Funds are available for 24 months from effective date of fully executed HCD Standard Agreement between HCD and Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD).  
  
The THP funds will be used to support and expand existing THP programs and contracts with housing assistance programs in the county to provide eligible young adults housing while obtaining skills and supportive services to become self-sufficient, including educational and employment services, counseling and crisis intervention, as well as assistance with securing permanent housing. EHSD will coordinate with the Contra Costa Health Services, Health Housing and Homeless Services Department (H3) as the local Continuum of Care to foster communication and collaboration.  
  
The HNMP funds will be used to provide housing navigation program services to help eligible young adults secure and maintain housing, through a contract with H3.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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