SUBJECT: Application for County CDBG funding for the
Emergency Shelter for Families for FY 2002-2003. 20-1009-1
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to develop and transmit an
application along with the necessary certification and assurances to the Contra Costa County
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for the operation of the Emergency Shelter for families.
B. Authorize the Director of Health Services or his designee to accept up to $120,000 in County CDBG
funding and enter into a contract with the Contra Costa Community Development DepaFtment to
perform all responsibilities in relationship to receipt of the funding and contracted provisions for FY
2002 - 2003.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds requested of the County CDBG are essential to providing adequate emergency housing
and supportive services to families year-round. No additional County funds required,
BACKGROUND:
It is estimated that 14,757 people experience an episode of homelessness each year in Contra
Costa County. The Crisis Center's Homeless Hotline, the central access point for the emergency
shelters, reported 23,861 calls last year from homeless individuals and families seeking shelter and
services.
It is reprehensible to think that even one child has to sleep in a car or on the streets, yet it is
believed that 9740 parents and their children experience this horror each year in Contra Costa
County. Currently, parents looking for shelter space for themselves and their children flood our
Homeless hotlines. As of September 30, 2001, there were 271 families (337 adults, 518 children)
on the waiting list to enter the County's Emergency Shelter for Families program. Unfortunately,
there are only limited resources throughout the County and the demand for shelter far exceeds the
County's current capacity to assist families in need.

SUBJECT: Authorization to submit a continuation grant
application and receive funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) to support the Homeless Outreach Project to Encampments 28-683-1
(HOPE).
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve and authorize the Director of Health Services Department or his designee to
execute and transmit an application along with the necessary certifications and
assurances to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) SAMHSA Center
for Substance Abuse Treatment, Addictions Treatment for the Homeless funding to
support the HOPE program.
B. Authorize the Director of Health Services or his designee, if awarded funding, to accept
$382,238 in SAMHSA funding and enter into contact with DHHS to perform all
responsibilities in relation to receipt of the funding and contracted provisions for the
operations of the HOPE Program for FY 2002-2003.
FISCAL IMPACT- No County funds required.
BACKGROUND:
There is strong evidence to suggest that a high percentage of homeless persons in Contra Costa
County suffer from diagnosable mental illness and mental health conditions. Unfortunately, it is
estimated that as many as 75% of all homeless individuals with mental health problems are in need
of mental health service and care are not receiving it. The problem is compounded in Contra Costa
by an unusual set of socio-demographic conditions in which the majority of local homeless men and
women do no live on the shelters, but rather in a number of homeless encampments located under
bridges, next to freeways, and in wooded areas.
The County Homeless Program is aware of the predominance of homeless encampment
populations in our region. Coupled with our understanding of the fact that the vast majority of
encampment residents do not access mental health services, we have developed an integrated
community-based mental health access and care program directly targeted to the encampment
population. The primary goal of HOPE is to enhance the quality of life, minimize suffering, and
reduce the number of homeless men and women in Contra Costa by developing and disseminated
an innovative, consumer-based outreach program that increases the number of homeless
individuals living in encampment who regularly access comprehensive mental health services.
