Subject:Application #28-660-13 with the City of Antioch CDBG funding
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department applied for funding from the City of Antioch 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 800 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 #28-660-13 will allow the County to submit application of CDBG funding to the City of
Antioch, 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, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Amendment is not approved, County will not receive funding and without such funding, the emergency
shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
