RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with SHELTER, Inc. to increase the payment limit by $115,000 to a new payment limit of $615,000 for transitiona housing services for the AB 109 population, for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$115,000 - 100% State Public Safety Realignment funds

BACKGROUND:

The FY 2013-14 budget for AB 109 Public Safety Realignment in Contra Costa County was approved by the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Executive Committee at their May 10, 2013 meeting, by the Public Protection Committee at their May 16, 2013 meeting, and by the Board of Supervisors at their May 21, 2013 meeting. The budget included an allocation in the amount of $500,000 for short and long-term housing access for the County's AB 109 program. Through an RFP process, SHELTER, Inc. was selected as a contractor to provide short and long-term housing for the AB 109 population in the amount of $500,000 for the period June 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The CCP-Executive Committee approved the FY 2014-15 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment budget at their February 14, 2014 meeting and submitted to the Public Protection Committee for review and approval. On February 24, 2014, the Public Protection Committee accepted the recommendations, including the continuation of funding in the amount of $500,000 for short and long-term housing access. On June 24, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved the contract amendment and extension with SHELTER, Inc to continue providing short and long-term housing access for the AB 109 population in the amount of $500,000 for the period June 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. The contract was ratified by the Board on September 9, 2014.

The Public Protection Committee, at their January 26, 2015 special meeting, identified $115,000 of AB 109 funds allocated for transitional housing for the AB 109 population in East and Central County for FY 2014-15 that had been unencumbered and unspent as of that date. The Committee directed staff to work with an alternate contractor to continue providing transitional housing for the AB 109 population with those funds. This Board action amends the contract with SHELTER, Inc. to increase their payment limit by $115,000 to a new payment limit of $615,000 to provide additional transitional housing services for the AB 109 population for the period June 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would result in SHELTER, Inc. not being able to provide additional housing for the AB 109 population in need.
