RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Grant Agreement #28-798-7 (CA0189L9T051608) from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive McKinney-Vento funding, payable to County, in an amount not to exceed $251,686, for the Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This grant will result in $251,686 of funding from HUD, with a required 25% match in the amount of $62,922 provided by County and appropriated in the budget. No additional County match required.

BACKGROUND:

Permanent Connections Supportive Housing provides housing sites for homeless, transition-age youth, between the ages of eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24), with disabilities. Ten (10) units are set aside for youth, who are disabled by mental illness, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, or dual/multiple diagnoses. The program is designed to provide on-going supportive services with an emphasis on families maintaining their permanent, safe, and affordable housing.

On September 13, 2016 Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #28-798-6 for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

Approval of Grant Agreement #28-798-7 will allow the County to continue to perform all responsibilities in relation to receipt of the funding for the Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive funding to support the Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program.
