RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #28-915 (State #20-HCFC-00059) with California Department of Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency to pay County an amount not to exceed $858,735 for COVID-19 Emergency Homelessness Funding to provide prevention and containment efforts for temporary homeless shelters in Contra Costa County, commencing upon State approval through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $858,735 of funding from California Department of Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency for COVID-19 Emergency Homelessness Funding. (No County match required)

BACKGROUND:

The COVID-19 Emergency Homeless Funding will be used for prevention and containment efforts for homeless shelters including, but not limited to, medically indicated services and supplies, such as testing and handwashing stations, and enhancements to existing shelter facilities. This will also allow for proper social distancing and isolation to reduce the spread of COVID-19 among the homeless population.

Approval of Grant Agreement #28-915 will allow County to receive COVID-19 Emergency Homelessness Funding for prevention and containment efforts in Contra Costa County, through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contra Costa County will not receive funding from the State of California to provide prevention and containment efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in Contra Costa County.
