RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Grant Agreement #29-819 (State #18-HEAP-00031) with the California Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (BCSH) in an amount payable to County not to exceed $7,196,771 for the Contra Costa County Continuum of Care (CoC) to expand and improve the homeless crisis response system for unsheltered individuals and families for the period from January 9, 2019 through October 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $7,196,771 of funding from the BCSH for the CoC Program. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

HEAP funding is intended to support CoCs and large cities in addressing the state’s homelessness crisis. Contra Costa CoC is eligible to receive $7,196,771 based on its 2017 point-in-time count total homeless population and its 2017 share of the overall state’s homeless population. Five percent of HEAP funding is allocated by state statute to address youth experiencing or at-risk of experiencing homelessness. Five percent of funds will also be utilized for administrative costs. This funding will allow County to expand homelessness services across the County and implement interventions that build on the best-practices and current CoC efforts.

Approval of Grant Agreement #29-819 will allow County to receive funding for the CoC Program in Contra Costa County through October 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this application is not approved, County will not be able to better assist its homeless population with emergency homeless crisis response for unsheltered individuals and families.
