RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-066-14 with Shelter, Inc. of Contra Costa County, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $555,718, to provide supportive housing services for homeless families, for the period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is entirely funded by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD). EHSD will fund this contract with 85% Federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and 15% State from the CalWORKs housing Support Program allocation. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing support services to Contra Costa County families that are homeless, including case management, benefits advocacy, employment services, job training and education services, and short–term rental assistance.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 10, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-066-12, as amended by Amendment/Extension Agreement #25-066-13, with Shelter, Inc. of Contra Costa County for the provision of supportive housing services for homeless families for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

Approval of Contract #25-066-14 will allow Contractor to continue to provide supportive housing services to Contra Costa County homeless families through December 31, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, homeless families in Contra Costa County will not receive the housing assistance services provided by Contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports two of the Board of Supervisors’ five children's outcomes: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
