FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this agreement will allow the County to receive an amount not to exceed $50,000. No County match required.
BACKGROUND:
The Philip Dorn Respite Center, as a Community Benefit Program, located in Concord, is a respite care program for homeless adults who are discharging from local hospitals and require medical stabilization services. Respite care refers to recuperative services for those homeless persons who may not meet medical criteria for hospitalization, but who are too sick or medically vulnerable to reside in an emergency shelter and cannot be returned to the streets. The goal of the program is to get all homeless persons off the street and help them to achieve their highest level of self-sufficiency.
