RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-083-4 with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. (dba Hope Solutions), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,185,587 to provide temporary supportive housing services to homeless Contra Costa County residents to assist CalWORKs families in achieving self-sufficiency and housing stability, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in an annual expenditure up to $2,185,587 and will be funded 100% by Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) CalWORKs.

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing support services to Contra Costa County families that are homeless, including case management, benefits advocacy, employment services, job training and education services, and short–term rental assistance. The contractor has been providing temporary supportive housing services for Contra Costa County since August 2019.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 27, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-083-3 with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. (dba Hope Solutions) in an amount not to exceed $2,185,587 for the provision of temporary supportive housing services to homeless Contra Costa County residents to help CalWORKs families achieve self-sufficiency and housing stability for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract #25-083-4 will allow the contractor to continue to provide temporary supportive housing services through June 30, 2023. The division gained community approval to implement standardized program models to ensure consistency and accountability in the County's system of care. These program models were approved June 2, 2022 by the Council on Homelessness and the Continuum of Care which delayed the delivery of contracts across the division's provider network.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, homeless families participating in CalWORKs may remain homeless and will not have access to housing focused case management and housing services, including direct support.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
