BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Continuum of Care is governed by the Contra Costa Council on Homelessness ("Council"). The Council is appointed by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to assist and provide guidance in the development and implementation of long-range planning and policy formulation of homeless issues in Contra Costa County. The Council also provides a forum for communication and coordination of the County’s Strategic Plan to End Homelessness, educate the community on homeless issues, and advocate on federal, state and local policy issues affecting people who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness.

The Council consists of 17 seats representing homeless or formerly homeless persons, community members, educational/vocational services, health care, housing providers, law enforcement, local government, the faith community, and homeless service providers including the Veterans Administration. Following a close review of applications and interviews with candidates, the Council on Homelessness recommended appointing these 11 individuals for its open seats. On February 20, 2018, the Family and Human Services Committee reviewed and approved the recommendations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

These seats will remain vacant.
