SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
A. Approve and Authorize the Director of the Health Services Department or his
designee to execute and itransmit an application along with the necessary
certifications and assurances to the Contra Costa County Community Development
Department for funding from the Emergency Shelter Grant program for the operation
of the County's Homeless Shelter Program at the Richmond and Concord sites during
FY 2006-2008.
B. AUTHORIZE the Director of the Health Services Department or his designee to
accept up to and including $90,000 in Emergency Shelter Grant funding (if awarded)
and.enter into a contract with the Contra Costa County Community Development
Department to perform all responsibilities in relation to receipt of the funding and
contracted provisions for receipt of operating funds for the operation of the program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
i
Community Development Block Grant funds committed to the operation of the shelter will
be used to fulfill the 100% match requirement. No additional appropriation needed.
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department seeks funding to operate the emergency shelter program
at full capacity on a year-round lbasis. The Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) program,
funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is a source of public
funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to low-income residents of Contra
Costa County. Without such funding the emergency shelter program may have to operate
at a reduced capacity.
The $90,000 requested in Emergency Shelter Grant funding is necessary for the
operation of the emergency shelter program for adults at Brookside and Concord.
Current funding sources are not adequate for operations of the shelters at full capacity on
a year-round basis.
