RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-094-1 with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. (dba Hope Solutions), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,540,866 to provide housing support services including case management and housing navigation services for homeless individuals on probation for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures up to $1,540,866 under this contract and will be funded 100% by Probation Department Funds as budgeted by the department for FY 2022-2023.

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing housing support services to Contra Costa County homeless individuals on probation, which includes case management and housing navigation services. This contractor has been providing case management and housing navigation service to homeless individuals under this contract since July 2021.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-094 with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. (dba Hope Solutions), in an amount not to exceed $1,100,866 for the provision of housing support services including case management and housing navigation services for homeless individuals on probation for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of Contract #25-094-1 will allow the contractor to continue providing case management and housing navigation services to homeless individuals on probation 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. The contract renewal request is retroactive largely due to extensive program design and negotiations and limited staffing due to COVID-19 impacts. Though the terms of the previous contract have expired, the contractor is continuing the program in good faith while the contract renewal process is complete.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, homeless individuals on probation may remain homeless and will not have access to housing focused case management and housing services, including direct support.
