RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-963-2 with the State of California, Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (BCSH) for the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Program, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $4,980,616 for the Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division to provide supportive housing services for homeless individuals and families in Contra Costa County through December 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This grant agreement will result in an amount of up to $4,980,616 in funding from the State of California, BCSH. No County match is required.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive HHAP funding to support homeless individuals and families.

BACKGROUND:

On July 31, 2019, Governor Newsom signed into law the HHAP program (Assembly Bill 101, Chapter 159, Statutes of 2019). The HHAP program is a block grant program designed to provide jurisdictions with one-time grant funds to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address their immediate homelessness challenges informed by a best-practices framework focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing.

On February 8, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #28-963-1, with the State of California, Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency for the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $1,660,206 to provide housing support to homeless individuals and families in Contra Costa County through October 1, 2026.

Approval of Agreement #28-963-2 will allow the County to continue to receive additional funds through December 31, 2026. This agreement includes the County agreeing to hold harmless the State for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.
