RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #29-603-6 (CA1394L9T052106) with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for McKinney-Vento Act funds, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $1,217,035, for the provision of the Continuum of Care (CoC) Project for the County’s Coordinated Entry System (CES), for the period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant agreement will result in an amount of up to$1,217,035, payable to the County from HUD McKinney-Vento Act funds for the County’s CoC Project, with a required 25% match of $304,259 provided by the County and appropriated in the budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa CoC, through its Inter-jurisdictional Council on Homelessness was awarded funds for the CES. The Contra Costa CES has achieved key strategies from the 2014 Strategic Plan Update, including implementation of a coordinated assessment system to stream line access to housing and services while addressing barriers and getting the right resources to the right people at the right time and serving all homeless clients throughout the County while providing supportive services including case managers, housing navigators, prevention and diversion counseling and outreach team staff who locate and engage clients in the CES, supported by housing navigators in our crisis response system.

On June 8, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-603-5 with HUD in an amount not to exceed $550,344 for the provision of the County’s CoC for the period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

Approval of Grant Agreement #29-603-6 will allow the County to continue to receive funding through September 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this award is not accepted, the County will not receive funding to expand the CoC project which will result in fewer supportive services for homeless individuals and families putting their well-being and safety at risk.
