RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE clarification of Board Action of October 9, 2018 (Item C.33), which authorized the Health Services Director to execute Grant Agreement #29-540-5 with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to reflect the intent of the parties in which the amount payable to the County should read $385,900 instead of $317,135 for the County’s Homeless Destination Home Program, with no change in the term of December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will allow the County to receive an amount not to exceed $385,900 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the County’s Homeless Destination Home Program. A County match of 25% is required.

BACKGROUND:

The County’s Homeless Destination Home Program provides permanent supportive housing to adults throughout Contra Costa County. The Program includes case management, assistance with enrolling in benefits and services, including access to peer support groups are all part of a larger continuum of services that allow individuals to work through many of the issues that led to their homelessness, while simultaneously moving toward a more sustainable future. Other benefits of the program include assistance in accessing benefits like Medi-Cal, Social Security Income and Supplemental Security Disability Insurance, referral to services, health and life skills education, crisis intervention and counseling. Participants enrolled will have access to County Behavioral Health Services/Mental Health, County Health Care for the Homeless, and County Alcohol and Other Drug Services.

On October 9, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #29-540-5 with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to receive funds for the County’s Homeless Destination Home Program for the period from December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019.

The purpose of this Board Order is to correct the amount payable to the County from $317,135 to $385,900, to reflect the intent of the Parties.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, County will not receive funding and without such funding, the County’s Homeless Destination Home Program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
