Subject:Application # 20-1009-8 for Contra Costa County Department of Conservation & Development CDBG
funding for the operation of the Adult Interim Housing P
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 #20-1009-8 will allow the County to submit application of CDBG
funding to the Department of Contra Costa County Conservation & Development, 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,
2012 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.
