Subject:Extension of Emergency Declaration Regarding
Homelessness
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the emergency declaration be reviewed at least every 14 days until the local emergency is terminated. In no event is
the review to take place more than 21 days after the previous review.
On November 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency, pursuant to the provisions of
Government Code Section 8630 on homelessness in Contra Costa County.
With the continuing high number of homeless individuals and insufficient funding available to assist in sheltering all
homeless individuals and families, it is appropriate for the Board to continue the declaration of a local emergency
regarding homelessness.
