Subject:Application #28-661-7 for City of Walnut Creek CDBG funding
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 800 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 #28-661-7 will allow the County to submit application of CDBG funding to the City of
Walnut Creek 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.
