RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #78-027 with Tipping Point Community, containing mutual indemnification language, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $100,000 for participation in the Tipping Point Youth Homelessness Project to support homeless services for transitional-aged youth (TAY), for the period November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement will result in a funding amount of up to $100,000 from Tipping Point Community. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County is one of the six Bay Area counties invited to participate in Tipping Point Community’s Youth Homelessness Project, a new three-year program that will strengthen and sustain systems that serve TAY who are currently homeless or experiencing housing instability. The Health, Housing, and Homeless Services Division will provide leadership and in-depth knowledge of the local landscape in Contra Costa County. Most recent data shows there were 722 TAY served in programs for people experiencing homelessness during 2021, making up 8% of all people served in the Contra Costa Continuum of Care (CoC). The number of TAY served in the CoC increased 6% from 2019 to 2021. Exits to permanent housing have decreased from 107 in 2018 to 34 in 2021. Youth usually do not access adult homeless services and unfortunately various definitions have resulted in an undercount of youth experiencing homelessness. When TAY enter one of County’s systems of care, they're not receiving high rates of permanent housing. The Tipping Point Youth Homelessness Project will build on the current youth homeless services offered through County’s CoC, Contra Costa Youth Continuum of Services (CCYCS) and Coordinated Entry System (CES) to provide additional support and homeless services.

Approval of Agreement #78-027 will allow the County to receive funds to participate in the Tipping Point Youth Homelessness Project to support homeless services for TAY in Contra Costa County for the period November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2023. This agreement includes mutual indemnification language.

This agreement request to the Board is delayed due to the Department not receiving the initial agreement from the grantor until January 12, 2023 and the revised agreement until March 3, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding from this grantor to support homeless services for TAY in Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The recommendation supports the following children's outcome: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School;” “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing;” and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.”
