Subject:FY 2012/13 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Funding Recommendation
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
by the Board of Supervisors on May 8, 2012, leaving $33,498 to be awarded. New ESG regulations limit the amount
to be allocated to street outreach and emergency shelter activities to 60 percent of the grant amount or the amount
allocated in FY 2010/11, whichever is greater. Because the County allocated its entire FY 2010/11 ESG grant for
emergency shelter activities, the additional funds must be used for the new services outlined in the regulations -
specifically Homeless Prevention or Rapid Rehousing activities. For FY 2012/13, Shelter, Inc. has been awarded
$73,797 to provide Rapid Rehousing services to quickly rehouse individuals and families living in shelters or in
places not meant for human habitation.
On October 1, 2012, the Family and Human Services Committee approved staff's recommendation to allocate an
additional $30,986 to Shelter, Inc. to assist approximately 10 homeless households to move into permanent housing
and allocating $2,512 to the Department of Conservation and Development to cover administrative costs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the allocation of additional Federal ESG funds is not approved, the County will not be able to provide rapid
rehousing services to additional clients and it will not be possible for the County to spend the total amount allocated
by HUD.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Allocating the additional Federal ESG funds to assist rapid rehousing clients will support the "Families that are Safe,
Stable and Nurturing" outcome established in the Children's Report Card.
