RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Award Agreement #28-990 with Richmond Community Foundation, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $75,000, for the Coordinated Outreach Referral, Engagement (CORE) program to provide homeless outreach services to homeless individuals with behavioral health needs in Richmond, for the period from April 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant award agreement will result in payment to the County of up to $75,000 from the Richmond Community Foundation. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

This grant award agreement will provide much needed funds for the CORE program, which work collaboratively in small teams to engage and stabilize individuals experiencing homelessness. The CORE program's approach is to build rapport, identify appropriate resources, and link individuals experiencing homelessness to housing programs that can end their housing crisis permanently. Funding will support a CORE Social Worker position, responsible for targeted street outreach and linkage services to individuals experiencing homelessness and working collaboratively with Healthcare for the Homeless, Behavioral Health Services (BHS), Coordinated Entry Service (CES) providers, and other community-based programs providing services in the County.

Approval of Grant Award Agreement #28-990 will allow the County to receive funds for providng CORE outreach services in Richmond for the period April 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this grant award agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding four outreach CORE team services that support homeless individuals with behavioral health needs in Richmond.
