ATTESTED: February 2, 2010 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: KATHERINE SINCLAIR, Deputy cc: J Pigg, B Borbon C.31 To:Board of Supervisors From:William Walker, M.D., Health Services Director Date:February 2, 2010 Contra Costa County 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.
