RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #29-806-2 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 homeless outreach services for the Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) 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. (20% County match)

BACKGROUND:

On October 17, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-806-1 with the City of Concord CDBG for the operation of the CORE Program which provides services to homeless clients throughout Contra Costa County. CORE teams serve as an entry point into the County’s coordinated entry system for unsheltered persons and work to locate, engage, stabilize and house chronically homeless individuals and families. The CDBG Program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to homeless persons of Contra Costa County.

Approval of Agreement #29-806-2 will allow the City of Concord to include changes to the HUD requirements for the CORE program through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the County will not be in compliance with HUD requirements to receive funding for the CORE program and unsheltered persons may be served at a reduced capacity.
