FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this agreement will result in funds from the City of Concord CDBG to provide adequate emergency housing and supportive services to individuals year-round. No additional County funds required. 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.
