RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #28-661-14 with the City of Walnut Creek, to amend Agreement #28-661-12 to incorporate revised U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) subrecipient requirements for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program with no change in the amount payable to County up to $6,000 or the term of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No change in original funding payable to the County up to $6,000 from the City of Walnut Creek Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). No additional County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department seeks funding to operate the emergency shelter program at full capacity on a year-round basis. Each year, the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 800 individuals per year. The Community Development Block Grant program, funded by HUD, is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to homeless persons of Contra Costa County. Without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

HUD has updated its subrecipient requirements for Federal Awards in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 2 CFR, Part 2000, which apply to the CDBG Program. These revised requirements became effective on January 1, 2016 and the City and subrecipients must amend the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Agreements to include the revised federal language.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #28-661-14 will allow the County to comply with Federal subrecipient requirements and continue to receive CDBG funding from the City of Walnut Creek for operation of the County’s Adult Interim Housing Program, through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County will not receive funding and without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
