RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve Appropriation Adjustment No.5052 authorizing the transfer of $28,816 from the Behavioral Health Homeless Program fund to the General Services fund for the purchase of one (1) Ford CMAX Hybrid to expand services within the Homeless Housing and Shelter program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The purchase of this automobile will be funded by HUD grant Permanent Connections and Homeless Program Administration. Allocation adjustments through a T/C 24 will facilitate the fund transfer to the proper disbursement account.

BACKGROUND:

Vehicle required as part of the Homeless Program operations. Additional capacity is required to support the growing need for expanded services offered to consumers in the Homeless Housing and Shelter Program.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This vehicle will be used by case managers to deliver counseling and support services to consumers living in permanent supportive housing that is scattered throughout Contra Costa County. Additionally they can transport consumers to appointments such as medical and behavioral health appointments, as well to activities such as grocery shopping that teach life skills. This car will be used at the shelters to transport multiple consumers to their medical or housing appointments.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Vehicle required to coordinate the consumer’s system of care, and transportation is a part of their case plans. Homeless consumers have a lack of resources and a complexity of need that often require counseling and transportation support to meet their activities of daily living.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No Impact.
