RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the annual report from the Health Services Department on the health services provided to the homeless population in Contra Costa County through the Health Care for the Homeless Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact; the report is informational.

BACKGROUND:

On December 3, 1996, the Board of Supervisors referred the topic of Continuum of Care Plan for the Homeless to the Family and Human Services Committee and since then the Health Services Department has made annual updates to the Committee on the health care services provided to the County's homeless population through the Health Care for the Homeless Program. On June 26, 2017, the Committee received a report on the Continuum of Care Plan for the Homeless including an update on the healthcare services provided to homeless patients, and approved it for Board approval on July 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board will not receive the report as recommended by the Family and Human Services Committee.
