Subject:Application #28-694-9 for City of Concord CDBG funding for Fiscal years 2012-2013 and 2013-2014
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 #28-694-9 will allow the County to submit application of CDBG
funding to the City of Concord for continuous services and operation of the Adult Interim
Housing Program and to perform all responsibilities in relationship to receipt of the funding
through June 30, 2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County will not receive funding and without such funding,
the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
