RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-091 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,999,589 to provide wraparound case management and rapid re-housing services for homeless adults in Contra Costa County, for the period from April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $2,999,589 over a 15-month period and is funded 100% by the Federal Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).

BACKGROUND:

Bay Area Community Services, Inc. was selected through the County’s Request for Qualifications (RFQ) bidding process. The contractor’s rapid re-housing services will promote the Housing First mission of the U.S. Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) and county’s Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division. The contractor will provide financial assistance as needed, including security deposits, utility deposits/payments, moving costs, hotel/motel vouchers, paid shelter costs, application and credit/background check fees, partial/tiered rental subsidies, full subsidies, and bridge housing. Contractor will participate in the Contra Costa County Coordinated Entry System (CES) and provide 3 full-time Care Coordinators focused solely on client engagement, documentation support, preparation, move-in, and aftercare, and 1 full-time Housing Locator focused solely on landlord/property development and portfolio maintenance, and matching clients to appropriate units.

Under new Contract #25-091, this contractor will provide wrap around case management and rapid re-housing services for homeless adults in Contra Costa County for the period from April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s homeless individuals will not receive additional housing during the COVID-19 pandemic, further putting the community at risk.
