SUBJECT:
Authorization to Submit CDBG Application for Funding of Homeless
Shelter Operations for Single Adults
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDATIONS
AUTHORIZE the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of
the County of Contra Costa, on behalf of the County, to submit
a $223,596 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding
application for 1994/95 to the Contra Costa County Community
Development Department for program operation funding for the
Homeless Shelter Program for Single Adults at the Brookside
Shelter in Richmond and the Central County Shelter in North
Concord.
II . FISCAL IMPACT
The $223,596 being requested in the CDBG application is
necessary for program operations for April 1, 1994 through
June 30, 1994 . Anticipated County General Funds and grant
monies for the homeless shelter program will only cover
shelter operations through March 31, 1994 . CDBG funds are
needed for the County to operate its homeless shelter program
twelve months a year at two sites .
III . BACKGROUND/ REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
County Social Service Department funds budgeted for the
homeless shelter program are insufficient to operate the
County's two shelters with structured support services year
round. While the Brookside Shelter in Richmond will remain
open, the Central County Shelter closed on August 1, 1993 and

is anticipated to reopen in December. No funds are currently
available, however, to continue the homeless shelter program
after March 31, 1994 .
The homeless need the cooperation and support of government,
business, churches, non profit community agencies, and civic
and social organizations to ensure this critical program
continues . CDBG funding would insure that the two shelters
remain open through the end of the fiscal year.
