RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Amendment/Extension Agreement #28-694-14 the City of Concord Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), effective June 30, 2016, to amend the contract to allow the City to pay the County $10,000 of additional funding for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program, and extend the term from June 30, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funds requested of the Pittsburg CDBG are for one-year and are essential to providing adequate emergency housing and supportive services to individuals year-round. No additional County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

On March 3, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved submission of application and acceptance of grant #28-694-12 and Agreement #28-694-13 with the City of Concord Community Development Block Grant, for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program for fiscal years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016. The Health Services Department continues to seek funding to operate the emergency shelter program at full capacity on a year-round basis. Each year, the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 800 individuals per year. The Community Development Block Grant program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to homeless persons of Contra Costa County. Without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.

Approval of Amendment/Extension #28-694-14 will allow the City of Concord to pay the County for continuous services and operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program and to perform all responsibilities in relationship to receipt of the funding through June 30, 2017. The prior contract included agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the City of Concord from any claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, County will not receive funding and without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
