RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #29-536-8 (CA10780L9T051908) with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to pay County in an amount not to exceed $175,596 for the County’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) project, for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this award will result in an amount not to exceed $175,596 in funding, payable to the County from HUD McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act Funds, including a 25% County match.











BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Homeless Program administers the HMIS project in Contra Costa Homeless Continuum of Care which is a mandated project for jurisdictions that receive homeless assistance funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The County began its HMIS implementation in 2004 and the project is steadily growing. The HMIS Policy Committee of the Inter-jurisdictional Council on Homelessness, which is the central planning body for design and implementation of our HMIS, has determined that with the growing needs of our HMIS community, additional funding would help provide better analysis of aggregate data and utilize the HMIS to its fullest potential. These funds will allow an upgrade to our software system, purchase licenses to accommodate additional service providers, and pay for staff time needed to analyze the data and implement data-driven decision making and progress-tracking.  
  
On May 7, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-536-7 with HUD to receive funds for the County’s HMIS project for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.  
  
Approval of Grant Agreement #29-536-8 will allow the County to continue to receive funding for the HMIS project through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this award is not accepted, the County will not receive funding to support the HMIS project.
