Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Grant Agreement #28-798-6 (CA0189L9T051507) from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive McKinney-Vento funding, payable to County in an amount not to exceed $200,100, for the Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

The program is designed to provide on-going supportive services with an emphasis on families maintaining their permanent, safe, and affordable housing.
