BACKGROUND:
The County Homeless program is seeking funding through the Emergency Shelter Grant
Program for operating support of Calli House in West Contra Costa County’s area of
incorporated Richmond. This program has provided outreach, short-term shelter,
goal-oriented counseling, educational and vocational opportunities to homeless and street
youth, ages 14-21, in West County since April 2002. Since that time, Calli House has served
over 700 unduplicated youth in its temporary shelter and multi-service center.
Approval of Application #20-1013-4 will allow the County to submit application of ESG
funding to the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation & Development for
continuous services and operation of the County’s Calli House Homeless Youth Shelter
Program and to perform all responsibilities in relation to receipt of the funding for the
period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.
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.
