The Committee then develops a competitive bidding process to select non-profit, community-based agencies that can best provide the services determined to be most important. Program recommendations are made to the Board of Supervisors which makes the final funding decisions. The Committee continues to evaluate these funded programs to ensure continued provision of quality service and achievement of stated goals. Programs currently being supported include countywide parenting classes, therapeutic day care for emotionally disturbed children, treatment for families, young children and teens with both substance abuse and child abuse issues, services for homeless families, and projects to support children whose mothers have been victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The FACT has up to fifteen members who are appointed by the Board and include citizens with expertise in children’s issues, education, law, non-profit agency management, public health, and program research/evaluation. In addition, the Director of the Child Abuse Prevention Council sits as ex-officio member of the Committee and participates in all matters except actually voting on funding recommendations. Terms for all Commission seats are two years. At-Large and non-District appointed seat vacancies on the FACT have been assigned for Family and Human Services Committee (F&HS) review since 2003. Referral Update: 24 At-Large Seat 3 was declared vacant on March 2, 2021 upon transition of a FACT Committee member to the vacant District IV Seat. The FACT Committee voted on April 2, 2021 to recommend appointment of Jenny Tsang to At-Large Seat 3. Candidates for appointment to the FACT Committee typically serve a two-year term. The At-Large Seat 3 currently has a term expiration of September 30, 2021.  Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): RECOMMEND that the Board of Supervisors:  APPOINT Jenny Tsang to At-Large Seat 3 expiring on September 30, 2021 on the Family and Children's Trust Committee, as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Department.

Meeting Date:05/24/2021   Subject:Quarterly Status on Continuum of Care Plan for the Homeless Submitted For: Monica Nino, County Administrator  Department:County Administrator Referral No.: FHS #5   Referral Name: Continuum of Care Plan/Healthcare for the Homeless  Presenter: Jaime Jenett, Continuum of Care Planning and Policy Manager Contact: Jaime Jenett (925) 608-6716 Referral History: The Family and Human Services Committee received a report on the homeless continuum of care in November 2020. The Committee requested quarterly updates on the status of efforts. This is the first of those quarterly reports. In November 2014, the Board approved “Forging Ahead Towards Preventing and Ending Homelessness: An Update to Contra Costa’s 2004 Strategic Plan”, that renewed the County's 2004 plan with the latest data, best practices, and community feedback and reaffirmed the County's commitment to the Housing First approach . As such, “Forging Ahead” establishes this guiding principle: “Homelessness is first a housing issue, and necessary supports and services are critical to help people remain housed. Our system must be nimble and flexible enough to respond through shared responsibility, accountability, and transparency of the community.”  The Strategic Plan Update identifies two goals: 1) Decrease the length of time people experience homelessness by focusing on providing Permanent Housing and Services and; 2) Decrease the percentage of people who become homeless by providing Prevention activities. To achieve these goals, three strategies emerged:  Implement a coordinated entry/assessment system to streamline access to housing and services while addressing barriers, getting the right resources to the right people at the right time; 1. Use best, promising , and most effective practices to give the consumer the best possible experience through the strategic use of resources; and 2. Develop the most effective platforms to provide access, support advocacy, and connect to the community about homelessness and available resources. 3. The Homeless Program of the Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division partners with the Homeless Advisory Board and Continuum of Care to develop and carry out an annual action plan 40 that identifies the objectives and benchmarks related to each of the goals and strategies of Forging Ahead. Further, the Homeless Program incorporates the strategic plan goals into its own delivery system of comprehensive services, interim housing and permanent supportive housing as well as contracting with community agencies to provide additional homeless services and housing with the goal of ending homelessness in our community. At the previous report to FHS one year ago, Jaime Jenett, HSD Continuum of Care Planning and Policy Manager, presented a data summary of the 2018 Point In Time Count of the homeless population and described the Built for Zero Campaign and the recent addition of warming centers, which targeted veterans and the chronically homeless. Supervisor Gioia asked for a status of the Richmond housing site and expressed frustration over the lack of progress. He requested of staff that future statistical reports detail the number of people who actually received permanent housing. Supervisor Andersen praised the work of staff and suggested the 211 resource as a way to connect the homeless to needed services. She also suggested having the Youth Action Council work on engaging more youth. Referral Update: Please see the attached Homeless Continuum of Care Quarterly Report for Q1 2021.

The CoC continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by supporting the staff and clients within the homeless system of care . In the first quarter Health, Housing, & Homeless Services (H3) Division of the Health Services Department shared with Council on Homelessness members how various COVID-19 funding streams are being used to support homeless services. H3 also presented the COH with a Housing Intervention Model to illustrate housing gaps in the homeless system for the COH and community. COH members were also made aware of policy matters and system initiatives that may impact, support and further the CoC’s work to serve individuals experiencing homelessness in Contra Costa County. I want to recognize all of the hard work and dedication from all of the homeless service providers and H3 staff who support the CoC especially in the midst of this public health crisis. The pandemic has created many opportunities for our CoC and we have been able to work together to improve the system while protecting the health and safety of our clients and staff. This report contains information on the CoC’s successful pandemic response and the growing need and evidence for permanent supportive housing (PSH). The COH is excited for the opportunity to share information with you on the work happening in the Contra Costa CoC. I ask you to please review and consider the material and recommendations provided in this report. The COH hopes this information is helpful to you and allows you to speak to the needs of the clients and the County’s homeless system of care as you make important decisions in your work to serve our County. Thank you for your time, support, and commitment and this space to share the homeless system’s progress and challenges. Sincerely, Lindy Lavender, Chair of the Council on Homelessness 42 COH QUARTERLY REPORT 2 INTRODUCTION The Contra Costa Council on Homelessness (CoH) is the governing and oversight body for the County homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) and is appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The Council provides advice and input to the Board of Supervisors on the operations of homeless services, program operations, and program development efforts in Contra Costa County. The Contra Costa Council on Homelessness is the governing body for the Contra Costa County Continuum of Care (CoC). The Contra Costa CoC is comprised of multiple partners, including service providers, members of the faith community, local business, private and public funders, community members, education system and law enforcement, and others who are working collaboratively to end homelessness. The COH an d COC are supported by Contra Costa Health Services Health, Housing & Homeless Services (H3) Division. H3 functions as the CoC administrative entity and collaborative applicant, CoC Lead Agency and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS database) Lea d Agency. The purpose of this report is to share information about the CoC and COH activities with the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and to provide recommendations from the COH to the County Board of Supervisors on long range planning and policy formulation that would support the county homeless CoC. This report includes information on system data, funding and policy activities, and CoC initiatives. All information will reflect activities and data for the prior quarter. This report was produced on behalf of the CoH by H3 in collaboration with the CoH and CoC partners. SYSTEM DATA Appendix A includes a data analysis depicting the inflow and outflow of clients in the system, current utilizers of the system, and recidivism (rates of individuals returning to homelessness). The graphics and content in that analysis depict data for the first quarter of 2021 (January, February and March). SYSTEM FUNDING This quarter the CoC continued to evaluate the system of care and pursue funding opportunities to address the gaps in Contra Costa’s homeless system. The CoC, with the assistance of All Home California, developed the Contra Costa Housing Intervention Model (figure below) using information from the 2019 System Map (available on H3’s website) and recent data in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) database to determine what housing interventions are needed. Notably, the largest need is for permanent supportive housing (PSH) which is an intensive housing intervention designed to provide housing with case management and rental support for people who are chronically homeless and disabled. This housing is the primary resource for the most vulnerable households. 43 COH QUARTERLY REPORT 3 The current public health crisis brought additional funding into the CoC to safely shelter and house people experiencing homelessness in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. To date approximately $40 million in COVID-19 one-time emergency use funding has been allocated to the CoC. The majority of the funding is dedicated to temporary Emergency Shelter hotel program, however, the CoC also benefited from one-time allocations of funding for Rapid Rehousing (RRH), Financial Assistance and Vouchers. While this funding is helpful, it does not meet all of the needs of the CoC outlined by the Housing Intervention Modeling. Specifically, one-time emergency COVID-19 funding does not provide ongoing funding or support for PSH, the most critical need identified. Below, part two of the Housing Intervention Model shows the average annual cost per unit or household to meet the need for each intervention and to temporarily and permanently house or stabilize all clients in Contra Costa’s homeless system of care at any point in time. This is an annual estimate, meaning that many of these funds, such as for PSH, will need to be ongoing in order to meet the need every year. 44 COH QUARTERLY REPORT 4 In Quarter 1 of 2021, the CoC began annual preparations to compete for the CoC’s largest source of renewable (sustainable) funding from the US Department of Housing & Urban Development – the HUD CoC Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). This competition brings in more than 80% of the CoC’s funding and is the primary source of funding for the County’s permanent supportive housing stock. As the Housing Intervention Model demonstrates, more PSH funding is needed to meet the need, despite this useful and reliable resource. POLICY The CoC works closely with H3 and local stakeholders and system partners to track homeless and affordable housing policy that may impact the CoC, its clients, funding or current and future operations . Th e Roadmap HOME 20301 is an initiative led by Housing CA and California Housing Partnership. This initiative will develop and implement a long-term plan for a statewide housing and homelessness solution. This could bring a consistent approach to ending homelessness in the state of California. This policy item could bring new resources into the County to support the homeless system of care through 1 https://roadmaphome2030.org/ 45 COH QUARTERLY REPORT 5 the policy package designed to meet the four goals of Creating affordable homes, protecting low-income renters, ending homelessness, and ensuring racial equity. State bills such as AB 712 , AB 8163, and AB 1220 are a few bills the CoC is tracking as they could bring permanent funding streams into the CoC, identify local gaps and needs and create ways to identify local gaps and needs and streamline state efforts to address homelessness. The local initiative of Measure X is another important policy initiative the CoC has been tracking as it has the opportunity to bring additional resources into the community. The CoC is interested in understanding how this will impact the system of care and will continue to track this initiative . SYSTEM INIT I ATIVES The CoC regularly engages in multiple activities, partnerships, evaluations, and improvement that are designed to improve services to clients and achieve various system goals . Regional Homeless Strategy Partnerships (Regionalism) - H3, as the CoC Lead and as a County agency, has engaged with multiple local and regional partners, including other Bay Area CoCs, to identify and implement strategies to address and solve homelessness in Contra Costa. That includes involvement in the All Home Regional Impact Council with Supervisor Andersen and Supervisor Burgis. H3 keeps the COH informed of the Regionalism efforts and supports the integration of innovative ideas and improvement strategies into the CoC’s homelessness response. The COH i s excited to support the goal to bring 75% of the unsheltered indoors by 2024 by improving existing systems & investing in the 1-2-4 system flow. The goals align with the system priorities found in the CoC’s driver diagram 4 and will provide an opportunity to make the CoC objectives and priorities measurable. In order for the CoC to reach this goal, the system will need to improve existing systems and policies and secure more funding for prevention and permanent housing interventions such as PSH. Equity - CoC leadership, including members of the Council on Homelessness and staff from H3 formed a cohort with local County stakeholders as part of the Bay Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative (BARHII) Racial Equity Action Lab (REAL). This interdisciplinary team continues to participate in a regional racial equity training and action program for homeless systems of care. The cohort is developing a plan to improve client engagement in the CoC using an equity lens. H3 has also hired expert equity technical assistance consultants to produce a racial equity assessment; provide training to H3, CoC leadership, 2 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB71 3 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB816 4 https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/Strategy-Diagram.pdf 46 COH QUARTERLY REPORT 6 providers and partners; support client engagement strategies; and support the identification, correction and planning of further equity improvements for the system and agencies providing service in the CoC . Meetings, Trainings, and Events – The CoC hosted 3 COH meetings for Councilmembers to meet to conduct the business of the CoC Board; a COH orientation to orient all Councilmembers to their role as a Board member and the CoC; 3 provider meetings; 3 trainings including Rapid Resolution, Trauma Informed Care and working with clients experiencing Domestic Violence; and 4 other events including an Oversight Committee meeting, 2 HMIS Policy Committee Meetings, and a stakeholder meeting focusing on Consumer Engagement. The stakeholder meeting was well attended and provided insight on the needs around Consumer Engagement. The recordings, minutes and materials for trainings and meetings can be found on the H3 website 5 and on the County agenda center6, and a calendar of upcoming meetings and events can be found on the H3 website. 5 https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/partners.php#Training 6 https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/agendacenter 47 COH QUARTERLY REPORT 7 COVID -19 UPDATE The CoC has continued to support providers, staff, and consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic providing guidance, COVID-19 testing, vaccines, and implementing a strategy to transition individuals in Project Roomkey into permanent housing. The strategy includes connecting people to vouchers, rapid rehousing and a plan to sunset hotels and re-open congregate shelters. This strategy can be seen in the figure below. In the first quarter of 2021, 710 new COVID-19 tests were administered to the HUD homeless population. There were 137 positive tests for COVID-19 among the HUD homeless population. The total number of vaccines administered to the HUD homeless population during Q1 of 2021 48 COH QUARTERLY REPORT 8 was 1,914. Additional data related to COVID-19 and those experiencing homelessness can be found on the data dashboard.7 RECOMMENDATIONS In conclusion, the first quarter shed more light on the CoC’s pandemic response and the growing need and evidence for PSH. The data, funding, policy and system initiatives sections included in this report provide information to see this need for PSH. Below are a few recommendations from the COH to the BOS that will help to support the CoC in addressing these needs. 1. The COH recommends the Board of Supervisors consider directing funding towards Prevention and Permanent Housing including Permanent Supportive Housing to increase outflow by housing people and reduce inflow by supporting individuals before they enter the homeless system of care. 2. The COH recommends the Board of Supervisors consider investing in specific funding for additional PSH when dedicating funding to meet the County homeless system of care’s greatest needs. 3. The COH recommends the Board of Supervisors consider supporting bills such as AB 71, AB 816, and AB 1220, as they fit into our County Legislative Platform, bring new funding and resources into the County, and help identify and meet needs in the homeless system of care. 4. The COH recommends the Board of Supervisors consider the needs of the CoC when developing Regionalism work to ensure adequate resources to meet identified goals. 5. The COH requests the Board of Supervisors support to encourage and approve additional federal and state funding for purposes of developing, rehabilitating, or acquiring permanent supportive housing and to help the CoC build and maintain temporary and permanent housing capacity. 7 https://www.coronavirus.cchealth.org/homeless 49 COH QUARTERLY REPORT 9 APPENDIX A Contra Costa County Health, Housing, and Homelessness Data Summary Description of the data:  What: Race and ethnicity analysis of Contra Costa Continuum of Care (CoC) consumers  Who: System utilizers, system inflow (new consumers), system outflow (consumers leaving system), and recidivism (returns to system in non-permanent supportive housing programs)  When: January 1, 2021 – March 31, 2021 (Quarter 1)  Why: Presentation to the Board of Supervisors Breakdown of Analyses: High-level analysis of system utilizers during the first quarter of 2021 focusing on four indicators:  System utilizers active during the reporting period  System inflow during the reporting period  System outflow during the reporting period  Recidivism (or returns to homelessness) during the reporting period Main Findings This data summary provides an analysis of people using the Contra Costa County homeless system of care (prevention, crisis response, and permanent supportive housing programs) during the first quarter (Q1) of 2021 (January 1 to March 31).
