RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Amendment Agreement #29-819-1 (State #18-HEAP-00031) with California Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (BCSH), to amend Grant Agreement #29-819, to make adjustments to the budget with no change in the amount payable to County of $7,196,771 or term January 9, 2019 through October 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will not impact the payment limit of the contract.

BACKGROUND:

HEAP funding is intended to support Continuum of Care (CoC) in Contra Costa County and large cities in addressing the state’s homelessness crisis. Contra Costa CoC is eligible to receive $7,196,771 based on its 2017 point-in-time count total homeless population and its 2017 share of the overall state’s homeless population. Five percent of HEAP funding is allocated by state statute to address youth experiencing or at-risk of experiencing homelessness. Five percent of funds will also be utilized for administrative costs. This funding will allow the County to expand homelessness services across the County and implement interventions that build on the best-practices and current CoC efforts.

On February 12, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-819 in an amount payable to the County of $7,196,771 for funding for the CoC Program in Contra Costa County for the period January 9, 2019 through October 31, 2021.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #29-819-1 will allow the grantor to make adjustments to the budget for the CoC Program through October 31, 2021. Budget adjustments include shifting general services funding to capital improvements and homeless set-aside specific services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment agreement is not approved, the County will not receive the adjusted budget and be able to better assist its homeless population with emergency homeless crisis response for unsheltered individuals and families.
