RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute Grant Agreement VA261-15-C-0105 (County #29-539-4) with the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $124,100, for the provisions of services and associated operating cost of the Philip Dorn Respite Center through the West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond, for the period from September 29, 2015 through September 29, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $124,100, payable to County, for the West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program, Philip Dorn Respite Center in Richmond through September 29, 2016. (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 Philip Dorn Respite Center through the West County emergency shelter program. Each year the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 75 homeless veterans of Contra Costa County. On June 16, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System, for services and associated operating cost of the Philip Dorn Respite Center through the West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond, for the period from March 31, 2015 through September 29, 2015.

Approval of this Grant Agreement #29-539-4 will allow the County to continue to receive funds to support the West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program Philip Dorn Respite Center in Richmond through September 29, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
