RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #29-540-6 (State Grant #CA1071L9T051806) with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Supportive Housing Program, to pay County an amount not to exceed $408,620 for the County’s Homeless Destination Home Program, for the period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant will result in an amount not to exceed $408,620 of funding from HUD. A County match of 25% is required.

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.

Approval of Grant Agreement #29-540-6 will allow the County to continue to receive funds for the Destination Home Program, through November 30, 2020.

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.
