FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
housing and supportive services to individuals year-round. County General 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 basis. 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. Current funding sources are not adequate for operations of the shelters at full
capacity on a year-round basis.
Approval of Application #20-1004-10 will allow the County to submit application of ESG funding to the Contra
Costa Department of County Conservation & Development, for continuous services and operation of the County’s
Homeless Shelter Program at the Richmond and Concord sites and to perform all responsibilities in relation to receipt
of the funding for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2012.
