RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to submit an application along with the necessary certification and assurances to request funds up to $13,000 for the City of Concord Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to operate the County’s Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) Program for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No additional County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

The CORE Program services locate and engage homeless clients throughout Contra Costa County. CORE teams serve as an entry point into the County’s coordinated entry system for unsheltered persons and work to locate, engage, stabilize and house chronically homeless individuals and families. The CDBG Program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to homeless persons of Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Grant Application #29-806-3 will allow the County to receive funding from the CDBG to operate the County’s CORE Program through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, Health Services Department will not be able to apply for additional funds to support County’s CORE Program and supportive services for homeless individuals may be reduced.
