RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-012-45 with The Center for Common Concerns, Inc. (dba Homebase), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $400,000, to provide consultation and technical assistance regarding continuum of care (CoC) planning and resource development to the department, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $400,000 and will be funded by 78% Housing and Urban Development, 14% Medi-Cal Administrative Activities and 8% Emergency Solutions Grant-Cares Act (ESG-CV) funds, as budgeted by the division for FY 2022-2023.

BACKGROUND:

The Center for Common Concerns, Inc. (dba Homebase) has been providing consultation and technical assistance to the Health Housing and Homeless Services Division with regard to HUD activities, including grant-writing services for County’s McKinney-Vento application and the County’s CoC planning and resource development. The contractor has been providing these services to the County since July 10, 1998.

On December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-012-43 with The Center for Common Concerns, Inc. (dba Homebase), in an amount not to exceed $323,953 to provide consultation and technical assistance regarding continuum of care planning and resource development to the department, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

On May 10, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #25-012-44, effective April 1, 2022, to increase the payment limit by $226,680 to a new payment limit of $550,633 to provide additional consultation and technical assistance regarding continuum of care planning and resource development to the department, with no change in the term.

This contract is being processed late due to staffing vacancies and management transitions, as well as budget review and approvals which delayed finalizing the agreement.

Approval of Contract #25-012-45 will allow the contractor to continue to provide consultation and technical assistance regarding continuum of care planning and resource development to the department through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will lack the capacity to apply for federal funding for homeless services, support nonprofit providers throughout the County, and ensure compliance with federal regulations.
