SUBJECT: Application for City of Concord CDBG funding for the Bast County County
Transitional Housing Program for FY 2000-2001.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(5)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1. RECOMMENDATIONS:
A. Approve and Authorize the Director of Health Services or his designee to develop and transmit an
application along with the necessary certifications and assurances to the City of Concord Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the operation of the East County Transitional Housing
Program for families.
B. Authorize the Director of the Health Services Department or his designee to accept up to $31,500 in City
of Concord CDBG funding and enter into a contract with the City of Concord to perform all responsibilities
in relationship to receipt of the funding and contracted provisions for FY 2000-2001.
11. FISCAL IMPACT
The $31,500 requested in City of Concord CDBG funding is necessary for the operation of the East County
Transitional Family Center. Various other funding including federal and city government funding has been
secured for the operation of the transitional housing program for the FY 2000-2001. No additional County funds
are required.
III. BACKGROUND
The Health Services Department seeks funding to operate the East County Transitional Family Center at full
capacity on a year-round basis. The Center is a new construction project scheduled to open Spring, 2001. It is
designed to house 20 homeless Contra Costa families, and assist in securing permanent, safe, and affordable
housing following a 0 to 24 months stay. The project from its onset has been possible through the partnership
and cooperation of County, City and community-based agencies. One effort of the project is to target families
seeking shelter from the rotating shelter programs in Central and East County. As families move out of the
Center, appropriate housing will be located in communities of the family's choosing. Follow up services will be
provided to insure that the family is connected with services and other means of support that will sustain the
family in independent housing. We believe that this approach is critical to ending the devastating effect that
homelessness has on our families with children.
