Subject:Application # 20-1009-7 for Contra Costa County Conservation & Development Department
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department seeks funding to operate the emergency shelter program at full capacity on a
year-round basis. Each year, the shelters provide interim housing and support services to over 900 individuals per
year. The Community Development Block Grant 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 homeless persons of
Contra Costa County. Without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced
capacity.
Approval of Application #20-1009-7 will allow the County to submit application of CDBG funding to the Contra
Costa County Conservation & Development Department, for continuous services and operation of the County’s Adult
Interim Housing Program and to perform all responsibilities in relation to receipt of the funding for the period from
July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2012.
