FAMILY AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE 4. B.
Meeting Date:05/24/2021
Subject:RECOMMEND Appointment to FACT
Submitted For: Monica Nino, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: NA
Referral Name: Advisory Board Appointment
Presenter: Laura Malone Contact: Laura Malone; 8-4943
Referral History:
On December 6, 2011 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2011/497 adopting policy
governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of
Supervisors. Included in this resolution was the requirement that applications for
at-large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors sub-committee. The Family and
Children’s Trust Committee (FACT), was established in 1982 by the Contra Costa County Board
of Supervisors to make funding recommendations on the allocation of a variety of funds for
prevention and intervention services to reduce child abuse and neglect, provide supportive
services to families and children, and promote a more coordinated, seamless system of services
for families. Funding for FACT supported projects derived from federal and state program
legislation, and donations to the County’s Family and Children’s Trust Fund. Every two years, the
members of the FACT establish a series of County priorities for the use of these funds through
review of existing data and reports and by holding Public Hearings in various areas of the county.
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.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
No fiscal impact.

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.

STAFF REPORT FROM TH E CONTRA
COSTA COUNCIL ON HOMELESSNESS
Contra Costa County Homeless System of Care Quarterly Report for Quarter 1 of 2021 (January-March)
LETTER FROM THE CHAI R
Dear Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors,
The first quarter of 2021 has been a busy one for the homeless continuum of care (CoC) and Council on
Homelessness (COH) members! 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

COH QUARTERLY REPORT

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

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,

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.

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

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.

COMMITTEE 6.
Meeting Date:05/24/2021
Subject:CONSIDER a report on the SNAP/CalFresh Program in Contra Costa
County
Submitted For: Monica Nino, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: 103
Referral Name: SNAP/CalFresh Update
Presenter: Kathy Gallagher Contact: Kelly Curtis 925-608-4800
Referral History:
The SNAP Program was originally referred to the Family and Human Services Committee by the
Board or Supervisors on February 15, 2011. This program was formerly known as Food Stamps
and is currently known as the Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). In
California, the name of the program is CalFresh. EHSD has presented periodic status reports to
the FHS related to concerns about extended wait times for benefits and the anticipated impact of
the expansion of CalFresh benefits to SSI (Supplemental Security Income/Supplementary
Payments) recipients effective June 1, 2019. FHS received status reports on September 24 and
December 3, 2018; and on April 22, June 10, July 29, and September 23, 2019. Staff reported
that CalFresh applications were beginning to level off at about 2,700 per month as compared to
2,200 per month prior to the SSI expansion. EHSD also presented a status report directly to the
Board of Supervisors on July 9, 2019. In November 2019, Kathy Gallagher and Rebecca Darnell
updated the FHS Committee. EHSD staff provided updates to the Committee on June 22, 2020
and September 28, 2020.
Referral Update:
Please see attached report providing an update on the Employment and Human Services
Department's status of CalFresh participation, updates on the CalFresh benefit enhancements and
expansions, as well as outreach efforts.

Referral No.: FHS #109
Referral Name: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
Presenter: Patience Ofodu, Workforce Development
Board- Interim Executive Director
Contact: Tish Gallegos (925)
608-4808
Referral History:
On January 6, 2015 the Board of Supervisors referred oversight and receipt of updates on the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to the Family and Human Services
Committee (FHS).
WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access
employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match
employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. Congress passed
the Act by a wide bipartisan majority; it is the first legislative reform in 15 years of the public
workforce system. WIOA was expected to significantly impact the Employment and Human
Services Department (EHSD) and the way the Workforce Development Board does its work.
Therefore, updates on the impacts and changes was referred to FHS.
The most recent status update was provided to the FHS Committee on April 22, 2019, at which
the former Workforce Development Board Executive Director Donna Van Wert highlighted the
number of people receiving services as well as the specialized programs and business partners.
Referral Update:
Please see the attached report for an update on the Workforce Development Board and Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
ACCEPT the report from the Employment and Human Services Department on the Workforce
Development Board and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act updates.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
None. This is an informational report.
