RECOMMENDATION(S):


  1. Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to develop and transmit an application #28-694-12 along with the necessary certification and assurances to the City of Concord Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program, for fiscal years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016, and










RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee to accept, if awarded, up to $30,000 each year in City of Concord CDBG funding and if awarded, enter into a contract with the City of Concord Community Development Department for the County to operate the Adult Interim Housing Program and to perform all responsibilities in relationship to receipt of the funding, including agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the City from any claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funds requested of the City of Concord CDBG are for two-years and are essential to providing adequate emergency housing and supportive services to individuals year-round. No additional County funds required

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department seeks funding to operate the emergency shelter program at full capacity on a year-round basis. Each year, the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 900 individuals per year. The Community Development Block Grant program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to homeless persons of Contra Costa County. Without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.  
  
Approval of Application #28-694-12 will allow the County to submit application of CDBG funding to the City of Concord for continuous services and operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program and to perform all responsibilities in relationship to receipt of the funding through June 30, 2016.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this application is not approved, County will not receive funding and without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
