RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #29-540-9 (State Grant #CA1071L9T052109) with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Supportive Housing Program payable to County in an amount not to exceed $429,457 for the County’s Homeless Destination Home Program to provide permanent supportive housing to adults throughout Contra Costa County for the period of December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant agreement will result in an amount of up to $429,457 in funding from HUD. A 12% County match of $36,555 is required, and budgeted.

BACKGROUND:

The County’s Homeless Destination Home Program provides permanent supportive housing to adults throughout Contra Costa County. The Program includes case management, assistance with enrolling in benefits and services, including access to peer support groups. These services are all part of a larger continuum of services that allow individuals to work through many of the issues that led to their homelessness, while simultaneously moving toward a more sustainable future. Other benefits of the program include assistance in accessing benefits like Medi-Cal, Social Security Income and Supplemental Security Disability Insurance, referral to services, health and life skills education, crisis intervention and counseling. Participants enrolled will have access to Behavioral Health Services/Mental Health, County Health Care for the Homeless, and Alcohol and Other Drug Services.

On June 8, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-540-8 with HUD, for McKinney-Vento Act funds, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $429,457 for the County’s Homeless Destination Home Program for the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022.

Approval of Grant Agreement #29-540-9 will allow the County to continue to receive funds for the Destination Home Program, through November 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive the allotted amount of funding to support the County’s Homeless Destination Home Program.
