RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Extension Agreement #25-091-2 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., a non-profit corporation, to amend Contract #25-091 (as amended by Extension Agreement #25-091-1), to extend the term date from September 30, 2022 to September 30, 2023 with no change in the payment limit of $2,999,589, to continue to provide wrap around case management and rapid re-housing services for homeless adults in Contra Costa County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This extension will not impact the payment limit of $2,999,589 and is funded 100% by the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).

BACKGROUND:

Bay Area Community Services, Inc. was selected through the County’s Request for Qualifications (RFQ) bidding process. The contractor’s rapid re-housing services will promote the Housing First mission of the U.S. Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) and the County’s Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division. The contractor will provide financial assistance as needed, including security deposits, utility deposits/payments, moving costs, hotel/motel vouchers, paid shelter costs, application and credit/background check fees, partial/tiered rental subsidies, full subsidies, and bridge housing. The contractor will participate in the Contra Costa County Coordinated Entry System (CES) and provide 3 full-time Care Coordinators focused solely on client engagement, documentation support, preparation, move-in, and aftercare, and 1 full-time Housing Locator focused solely on landlord/property development and portfolio maintenance, and matching clients to appropriate units.

On June 22, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-091 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $2,999,589 to provide wrap around case management and rapid re-housing services for homeless adults in Contra Costa County for the period from April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

On March 22, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Extension Agreement #25-091-1 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., to extend the termination date from June 30, 2022 to September 30, 2022 with no change in the payment limit of $2,999,589, to continue to provide wrap around case management and rapid re-housing services for homeless adults in Contra Costa County.

Approval of Extension Agreement #25-091-2 will allow the contractor to continue providing services through September 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this extension is not approved, the County’s homeless individuals will not receive additional housing services.
