RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept Grant Amendment #28-789-14 with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System (VANCHCS), a Government Agency, to amend Grant Agreement #28-789-14 (VA #612-22-1-3973-0001) to include COVID-19 safety protocols to the terms of the agreement with no change to an amount payable to the County not to exceed $218,781 or term of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact since the amount payable to the County remains as an amount not to exceed $218,781 from VANCHCS for the West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department seeks continuous funding to provide interim housing, treatment, and other services for homeless veterans that access the County’s emergency shelter program. Each year the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 75 homeless veterans of Contra Costa County. VANCHCS has been providing funds to the County for emergency shelter housing since October 1, 2011.

On October 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-789-13 to receive funding in an amount not to exceed $218,781 to support emergency shelter housing for homeless veterans of Contra Costa County at West County’s Adult Interim Housing Program in Richmond for the period October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

Approval of Grant Amendment #28-789-14 will allow VANCHCS to include the COVID-19 safety protocols to the terms of the agreement through September 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not accepted, the County will not receive adequate COVID-19 safety protocols for federal contractors and the County may be out of compliance.
