BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Continuum of Care is governed by the Contra Costa Council on Homelessness (hereinafter referred to as the Council). The Council is appointed by the County Board of Supervisors to assist and provide guidance in the development and implementation of long-range planning and policy formulation of homeless issues in Contra Costa County. The Council is responsible for making data driven, equitable decisions related to federal, state, and local regulations and funding guiding the administration of homelessness crisis response in the County. The Council also provides a forum for communication and coordination of the County's Strategic Plan to End Homelessness and to educate the community on federal, state and local policy issues affecting people who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness in Contra Costa County.

The Council is appointed by the Board of Supervisors and consists of 19 seats representing homeless or formerly homeless persons, community members, educational/vocational services, health care, housing providers, law enforcement, local government, the faith community, and homeless service providers including the Veterans Administration. All Council members reside in or are employed in Contra Costa County, demonstrate a professional interest in or personal commitment to addressing and alleviating the impact of homelessness, and be able to contribute unique expertise, opinions and viewpoints on homeless issues. Candidates serve two-year terms.

On November 15, 2021, the Family and Human Services Committee recommended that the Board of Supervisors appoint the above listed six (6) individuals for open seats on the Council on Homelessness for two year terms ending December 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to appoint members is likely to reduce public participation in the Council on Homelessness and impact meeting quorum.
