RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to accept, on behalf of the County, Grant Award #28 814-3 (CA0178L9T051403) from Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to pay County an amount not to exceed $173,567, for County’s Homeless McKinney-Vento Rapid Re-housing project, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant award will result in an amount not to exceed $173,567 payable to the County from HUD McKinney-Vento Rapid Re-housing funds with a 25% required cash match in the amount of $9,858 provided by County and appropriated in the budget.

BACKGROUND:

Rapid Re-housing assistance provides temporary financial assistance, relocation, and housing stabilization services to families who are homeless or would be homeless. In addition to these short-term benefits, this program also focuses on linking program participants to community resources and mainstream benefits and helping those affected by homelessness develop a plan for preventing future housing instability.

On October 7, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Award #28-814-2 from HUD for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, for the Rapid Re-housing assistance project.

Approval of Grant Award #28 814-3 will continue Federal funding for the Rapid Re-housing assistance project through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive funding to support the Rapid Re-housing assistance project.
