RECOMMENDATION(S):

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Continuum of Care is governed by the Contra Costa Council on Homelessness (hereinafter referred to as the Council). The Council is appointed by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to assist and provide guidance in the development and implementation of long range planning and policy formulation of homeless issues in Contra Costa County. The Council serves as the governing body for the Contra Costa County Homelessness Continuum of Care. The Council also provides a forum for communication and coordination of the County's Strategic Plan to End Homelessness, educate the community on homeless issues, and provide the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and Continuum of Care lead agency (Contra Costa Health Services' Health, Housing & Homeless Services Division) on federal, state and local policy issues affecting people who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness.

The bylaws of the Council provide that all seat representatives be appointed by the Board of Supervisors. In addition, both public- and private-sector seats should, as much as possible, include representation from people with lived experience of the following subpopulations or from organizations or agencies who serve these subpopulations: families with children, persons experiencing chronic homelessness; persons with chronic substance use issues; persons with HIV/AIDS; persons with mental health challenges; seniors; veterans; survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, trafficking, and stalking; and youth and young adults with a lived experience of homelessness.

Anastasia Padilla submitted her formal resignation to the Health, Housing and Homeless Services office. Anastasia was appointed to the Council on Homelessness Youth Representative seat on December 12, 2022. The term of this seat will expire December 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat will remain unfilled and the Council on Homelessness may not be able to meet quorum to vote on items coming before them.
