RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5075 authorizing the transfer of $239,996 from the Health, Housing and Homeless Program in the Health Services Department (0463) to the Fleet Internal Service Fund (0064) for the purchase of one (1) Ford T350XL Para Transit full-size van, three (3) Ford Explorer SUVs, one (1) Ford F-250 Crew Cab Pickup, and one (1) Ford Transit 8-passenger Wagon to expand services within the Health, Housing and Homeless programs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The request will transfer appropriations of $58,000 from fixed assets, $160,000 from Homeless Emergency AID Program (HEAP) funds, and $21,996 from Albertoni Trust Funds received by the Health, Housing and Homeless Program.

BACKGROUND:

Additional capacity is required to sustain and support the growing need for expanded services offered to consumers in the Health, Housing and Homeless Program. Vehicles are required as part of the Health, Housing and Homeless Program’s CORE Program mobile outreach efforts, and the wheelchair van will allow the Brookside Shelter and Calli House Youth Shelter to safely transport mobility-impaired clients to and from the shelter sites. The pickup truck will be used by the Homeless Program’s Public Works Creek CORE Team, which travels to encampments along Contra Costa creeks as park of the Watershed clean up. They distribute garbage bags and collect bagged garbage from these encampments.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Vehicles required to coordinate the consumer’s system of care, and transportation is a part of their case plans. Homeless consumers have a lack of resources and a complexity of need that often require counseling and transportation support to meet their activities of daily living.
