RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to submit an application and execute a grant award agreement, including any extensions or amendments thereof, pursuant to State guidelines, with the California Department of Housing and Community Development in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000 for the California Emergency Solutions and Housing (CESH) Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is Contra Costa County’s second round allocating $1,200,000 for CESH funds for a grand total of $2,055,496. There is no matching contribution requirement for activities funded with CESH Program funds.  









BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) announced the availability of approximately $53 million in CESH Program funding through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). CESH Program funding provides grants to administrative entities to assist persons who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness pursuant to authorizing legislation SB 850 (Stats. 2018, ch. 48, § 4). The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) administer the CESH Program with funding received from the Building Homes and Jobs Act Trust Fund (SB 2, Chapter 364, Statutes of 2017).  
  
CESH funds may be used for five primary activities: housing relocation and stabilization services (including rental assistance), operating subsidies for permanent housing, flexible housing subsidy funds, operating support for emergency housing interventions, and systems support for homelessness services and housing delivery systems. In addition, some administrative entities may use CESH funds to develop or update a Coordinated Entry System (CES), Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), or Homelessness Plan.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contra Costa County will not receive an amount up to $1,200,000 in allocation from the State of California to provide emergency housing and/or services to person who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
