RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute Grant Award Amendment #28-701-7 (State #90CX7276-02-01) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for the Children and Families, Family and Youth Services Bureau, to amend grant Award #28-701-6, to increase the amount payable to County by $52,000 to a new amount not to exceed $252,000 for the period from September 30, 2019 through September 29, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will allow County to receive an additional amount not to exceed $52,000 from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for the operation of a transitional housing program for homeless young adults. No additional County match required.

BACKGROUND:

On November 5, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Award #28-701-6 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for the Children and Families (ACF), Family and Youth Services Bureau, for funding through the Transitional Living Program for Runaway and Homeless Youth to support Appian House Transitional Housing Program for youth ages 18-21 in Contra Costa County for the period from September 30, 2019 through September 29, 2020.  
  
Approval of Grant Award Amendment Agreement #28-701-7 will allow for additional funding to support housing, educational and vocational opportunities, and life skills to homeless young people, that will enable them to become self-sufficient, productive adults, through September 29, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the transitional living program would be required to operate at reduced capacity, displacing youth back into homelessness.
