RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee, to accept, on behalf of the County, Grant Award #29-549-3 from John Muir Health, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $50,000 for respite care services for homeless adults at the Philip Dorn Respite Center, for the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this Grant Award will result in an amount not to exceed $50,000 from John Muir Health for support to the Philip Dorn Respite Center through December 31, 2017. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The Philip Dorn Respite Center, a Community Benefit Program, located in Concord, is a respite care program for homeless adults who are discharging from local hospitals and require medical stabilization services. Respite care refers to recuperative services for those homeless persons who may not meet medical criteria for hospitalization, but who are too sick or medically vulnerable to reside in an emergency shelter and cannot be returned to the streets. The goal of the program is to get all homeless persons off the street and help them to achieve their highest level of self-sufficiency.

Approval of Grant Award #29-549-3 will allow the County to continue to receive support for the Philip Dorn Respite Center through December 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Award is not approved the County will not be able to receive funding for services at the Philip Dorn Respite Center.
