RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to transmit an application along with the necessary certification and assurances and request funds up to $229,213 to the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for adult and youth emergency shelter capital project improvements for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funds requested from the DCD are essential to providing adequate emergency housing and supportive services to homeless individuals. (25% County match required)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department’s Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division is seeking funding for facility improvements of adult and youth shelters. The CDBG funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to low-income residents of Contra Costa County. Current funding is not adequate for capital project improvements.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Grant Application #20-1038 will allow the County to receive CDBG funding from DCD to support the County’s adult and youth shelter capital projects for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Health Services Department will not be able to apply for additional funds to support facility improvements of adult and youth shelters.
