RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Amendment Agreement #28-694-17 with the City of Concord, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), to incorporate updated contract language that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires to use Community Development Block Grant funds for the Adult Interim Housing Program, with no change to the term August 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No change in amount payable to the County of $10,000.

BACKGROUND:

On October 17, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #28-694-16 with the City of Concord CDBG, for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program for fiscal years 2017-2018. The Health Services Department continues to seek 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 800 individuals per year. The CDBG program, funded by the U.S. Department of HUD, 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 Grant Amendment #28-694-17 will allow the City of Concord to include changes to the HUD requirements for the Adult Interim Housing Program through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County will not be in compliance with HUD requirements to receive funding for the emergency shelter program and may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
