FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in an amount of $137,897 from VANCHCS for the Central County’s Adult Interim Housing Program, Philip Dorn Respite Center in Concord for 2020/2021. (No County match required)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding to support homeless veterans requiring shelter.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department seeks continuous funding to provide interim housing, treatment, and other services for homeless veterans that access the County’s emergency shelter program. Each year the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 75 homeless veterans of Contra Costa County.

On October 22, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #29-539-9 to receive funding to support emergency shelter housing for homeless veterans of Contra Costa County for the period September 29, 2019 through September 28, 2020.

Approval of Grant Agreement #29-539-10 will allow the County to receive funds to support the Central County’s Adult Interim Housing Program Philip Dorn Respite Center in Concord through September 28, 2021.
