Referral History:
On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 adopting policy amendments
governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors.
Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a
Board of Supervisors committee.
The Contra Costa Commission for Women and Girls (CCCWG) was formed to educate the community and
advise the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on issues relating to the changing social and economic
conditions of women in the County, with particular emphasis on the economically disadvantaged. The
Commission's mission is, “to improve the economic status, social welfare, and overall quality of life for women
in Contra Costa County.”
The Commission consists of 15 members and one Alternate At-Large member including: five district
representatives (one from each supervisorial district), ten At-Large members, and one Alternate. The five
district representatives are nominated for a four year term by each member of the Board of Supervisors. The ten
At-Large members and the one alternate are nominated by the CCCWG Membership Committee and forwarded
to the full CCCWG. The full CCCWG then makes appointment recommendations to the Family and Human
Services Committee. All Commission seat terms are for a period of four (4) years with staggered expiration
dates.
Referral Update:
Ms. Nakenya Allen applied to serve on the CCCWG on July 9, 2023. On March 26, 2024, the CCCWG voted

Referral History:
On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 adopting policy amendments
governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors.
Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at-large/countywide seats be reviewed by a
Board of Supervisors committee.
The Advisory Council on Aging (ACOA) provides a means for county-wide planning, cooperation and
coordination for individuals and groups interested in improving and developing services and opportunities for
the older residents of this County. The Council provides leadership and advocacy on behalf of older persons
and serves as a channel of communication and information on aging.
The Advisory Council on Aging consists of 40 members serving 2-year staggered terms, each ending on
September 30. The Council consists of representatives of the target population and the general public, including
older low-income and military persons; at least one-half of the membership must be made up of actual
consumers of services under the Area Plan. The Council includes: 19 representatives recommended from each
Local Committee on Aging, 1 representative from the Nutrition Project Council, 1 Retired Senior Volunteer
Program, and 19 Members at-Large.
Pursuant to the ACOA Bylaws, the ACOA may recommend for appointment up to four (4) alternate Member-at-
Large (MAL) members, who shall serve and vote in place of members (City or MAL) who are absent from, or
who are disqualifying themselves from participating in a meeting of the ACOA.
The Area Agency on Aging, the ACOA and the Clerk of the Board, using Contra Costa TV (CCTV), assisted
with recruitment. Area Agency on Aging staff has encouraged interested individuals including minorities to
apply through announcements provided at the Senior Coalition meetings and at the regular monthly meetings of
the ACOA. The Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) website contains
dedicated web content where interested members of the public are encouraged to apply. The website provides

an inclusive organizational culture. In my roles within corporate America, I have actively championed
diversity and inclusion initiatives. As a DEI and ERG Program Manager, I led diversity task forces and
developed comprehensive diversity and inclusion plans tailored to the needs of the organization. I
collaborated with HR departments to implement recruitment and retention strategies that promoted
diversity and equal opportunity. Additionally, I facilitated workshops and training sessions on topics such
as unconscious bias, cultural competence, and inclusive leadership to enhance awareness and foster a
more inclusive workplace environment. Furthermore, I have served on various committees and boards
focused on diversity and inclusion, where I have contributed my expertise to drive positive change and
advocate for underrepresented groups. My combination of formal education, practical experience, and a
demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusion make me well-equipped to serve effectively on the
EEOC board with the county.

The Bay Area's economy and wealth generation are the envy of the world. However, the limited economic
mobility in this region is shocking and having a sig nificant negative impact on families in Contra Costa
County. For one of my clients, I work closely with low wage workers preparing to apply for citizenship.
Their stories are inspiring. Even though they encounter more walls than doors, they are determined to
give their children the best. I am interested in supporting the County's efforts to provide our community's
families access to the region's wealth.

25, 2024, as a “Consent” item.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
CDBG Program - Public Service Category:Consistent with Board funding guidelines, 17 percent of the
County’s annual CDBG allocation may be used for PS projects. Therefore, $784,542 is available to PS projects
from the annual allocation. In addition, there is $24,958 available from completed projects. Lastly, $40,000 is to
be provided from the “Affordable Housing” category to help fund fair housing services. Consequently, a total
of $849,500 is available for PS projects. A total of 35 applications were received requesting a total of $894,500.
Staff recommends 31 out of the 35 programs be funded at the amounts requested and staff is recommending
that remaining four programs that requested more funding be funded at the amount they received in year one
(FY 2022/23) and year two (FY 2023/24) (See Attachment A-1).
ESG Program:The County also receives ESG funds, on an entitlement formula basis, for the provision of
essential services for the homeless; emergency shelter operations and related services; homelessness
prevention, and rapid re-housing activities. The County will receive a total of $399,140 in ESG funding for FY
2023/24, approximately $216 less than the County received in FY 2023/24. Seven and a half percent (7.5%) of
the grant will be used for administration expenses, resulting in a total of $369,404 available for projects.
A total of 6 renewal applications were received requesting a total of $374,404 in ESG Program funds. Staff
recommends five out of the six renewal programs be funded at the amounts requested. Health Services applied
for $35,844, but Staff is recommending that they receive an allocation of $30,844, as it is consistent with the
amount they received in prior years, and this is the final year in the three-year funding cycle. Staff’s
recommendations for the use of ESG funds are listed in Attachment B-1.

BACKGROUND
The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit staff recommendations for funding in the PS category

staff’s recommendations and staff’s analysis/evaluation, are attached for both the PS and ESG program

categories.
In October 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved having two separate and distinct funding cycles for
the non-housing categories of the CDBG Program and for the ESG Program, to align with the five-year
period of the CDBG/ESG Consolidated Plan. The first series is a two-year funding cycle for
programs/projects in the CDBG PS, economic development, and infrastructure/public facilities
categories and for the ESG Program. The second series is a three-year funding cycle to conclude the
latter portion of the five-year Consolidated Plan period. Consequently, in June 2022, the Board
approved the allocation of FY 2022/23, FY 2023/24, and FY 2024/25 CDBG and ESG funds. The
allocation of FY 2024/25 CDBG and ESG funds was contingent on the availability of funds and the
satisfactory accomplishment of contract goals.
Available Funding
On May 8, 2024, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the FY
2024/25 CDBG Program entitlement allocations to all CDBG entitlement jurisdictions. The County’s
FY 2024/25 CDBG entitlement amount is $4,614,953, which is approximately $73,570 more than the
County received in FY 2023/24.
On November 4, 2014, the Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted funding guidelines for the allocation
of CDBG funds that require the County’s annual grant be allocated to the following CDBG eligible
categories:
Category of Use Allocation
Guidelines
CDBG Program
Available Funding
Affordable Housing 45% $2,076,729
Public Services *17% $ 784,542
Economic Development 10% $ 461,495
Infrastructure/Public Facility 8% $ 369,196
Administration 20% $ 922,991
Total FY 2024/25 CDBG Grant $4,614,953
*As long as the amount does not go over HUD’s statutory cap for Public Services
CDBG Program – Public Service Category: Consistent with Board funding guidelines, 17 percent of
the County’s annual CDBG allocation may be used for PS projects. Therefore, $784,542 is available to
PS projects from the annual allocation. In addition, there is $24,958 available from completed projects.
Lastly, $40,000 is to be provided from the “Affordable Housing” category to help fund fair housing
services. Consequently, a total of $849,500 is available for PS projects. A total of 35 applications were
received requesting a total of $894,500. Staff recommends 31 out of the 35 programs be funded at the
amounts requested and staff is recommending that remaining four programs that requested more
funding be funded at the amount they received in year one (FY 2022/23) and year two (FY 2023/24)
(See Attachment A-1).
ESG Program: The County also receives ESG funds, on an entitlement formula basis, for the
provision of essential services for the homeless; emergency shelter operations and related services;
homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing activities. The County will receive a total of $399,140 in
ESG funding for FY 2023/24, approximately $216 less than the County received in FY 2023/24. Seven
and a half percent (7.5%) of the grant will be used for administration expenses, resulting in a total of
$369,404 available for projects.

A total of 6 renewal applications were received requesting a total of $374,404 in ESG Program funds.
Staff recommends five out of the six renewal programs be funded at the amounts requested. Health
Services applied for $35,844, but Staff is recommending that they receive an allocation of $30,844, as it
is consistent with the amount they received in prior years, and this is the final year in the three-year
funding cycle. Staff’s recommendations for the use of ESG funds are listed in Attachment B-1.
Application Process and Evaluation Criteria:
CDBG Program and ESG Program: For FY 2024/25, currently funded PS and ESG agencies were
required to submit an abbreviated “renewal application”, including a proposed FY 2024/25 budget,
current audit, and confirmation of performance outcomes. This information was used to evaluate an
agency’s continuing capacity to operate its program during the next fiscal year.
Staff’s funding recommendations for FY 2024/25 PS projects are listed in Attachment A-1, and staff’s
funding recommendations for FY 2024/25 ESG projects are listed in Attachment B-1. Staff’s
analysis/evaluation and recommendation tables (Attachments A-2 and B-2) describe the individual
projects and provide information on each agency’s performance during the first six to nine months of
FY 2023/24. In general, most agencies are performing as proposed and are expected to meet or exceed
performance outcomes contained in their CDBG and ESG agreements by the end of the program year.
Public Hearing and Transmittal of Recommendations: The Committee’s recommendations will be
forwarded to the full Board of Supervisors prior to the public meeting that is scheduled for June 25,
2024. Final recommendations must be forwarded to HUD by July 8, 2024, for review to ensure
consistency with federal regulations.

Presenter:Gabriel Lemus, Assistant Deputy Director, Department of Conservation and Development, and
Jamie Schecter, Homeless Services Chief, Contra Costa Health - Health, Housing, and
Homeless Services
Contact:Danielle Fokkema, (925) 655-2047
Referral History:
Following November 2020 voter approval of the Measure X half-cent sales tax, in June 2021, the Department
of Conservation and Development (DCD); Contra Costa Health Services - H3; and the Housing Authority of
Contra Costa County (Housing Authority) submitted a joint proposal to the Measure X Community Advisory
Board (MXCAB) to dedicate Measure X receipts to a new housing fund that would fund development of
affordable housing and a broad list of housing- related services. On November 16, 2021, the Board of
Supervisors considered recommendations from the MXCAB, approved the housing fund proposal, and
committed $10 million of Measure X funds for year one and $12 million on an annual basis thereafter.
In September 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized H3 and DCD to proceed with a Request for Proposals
(RFPs) for various affordable housing and homelessness prevention and crisis response projects for FY
2023/24. Staff presented the FY 2023/24 recommendations to the Family & Human Services (FHS) Committee
in May 2023 and those recommendations were subsequently approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 13,
2023.
On November 7, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved the FHS Committee recommendation to establish
and implement a two-year funding cycle beginning with the Year One and Year Two Measure X Housing Funds
(FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25). Therefore, the recommendations that were approved for Year One funds would
be recommended and awarded for Year Two (FY 2024/25) funding in the same or similar amount, contingent
on the availability of funds, satisfactory performance of the awarded program, and the completion and
submittal of a renewal application.
Referral Update:
As, specified in the September 20, 2022 presentation to the Board of Supervisors, DCD and H3 are bringing the
Measure X Housing Fund recommendations to a Board of Supervisors Committee. The departments requested
to present to the Family and Human Services Committee due to the relation to its Homelessness Services

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 20, 2024
TO: Family and Human Services Committee
Supervisor Ken Carlson, District IV, Chair
Supervisor, Candace Andersen, District II Vice-Chair
FROM:
Gabriel Lemus, Assistant Deputy Director, Department of Conservation and Development
Jamie Schecter, Homeless Services Chief, Contra Costa Health – Health, Housing, and
Homeless Services
SUBJECT: FY 2024/25 Measure X Housing Fund recommendations – Housing related
services and crisis response and intervention services
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit staff recommendations for funding related to the
Request for Proposals (RFP) released by the Department of Conservation and Development
(DCD) and Contra Costa Health Services – Health, Housing, and Homeless Services (H3).
Tables, summarizing staff’s recommendations and staff’s analysis/evaluation, are attached for
project categories recommended for funding through the Measure X Housing Fund and through
other funding sources managed administered by H3.
Following November 2020 voter approval of the Measure X half-cent sales tax, in June 2021, the
Department of Conservation and Development (DCD); Contra Costa Health Services – H3; and
the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County (Housing Authority) submitted a joint proposal to
the Measure X Community Advisory Board (MXCAB) to dedicate Measure X receipts to a new
housing fund that would fund development of affordable housing and a broad list of housing-
related services. On November 16, 2021, the Board of Supervisors considered recommendations
from the MXCAB, approved the housing fund proposal, and committed $10 million of Measure X
funds for year one and $12 million on an annual basis thereafter.
90
In September 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized H3 and DCD to proceed with a Request
for Proposals (RFPs) for various affordable housing and homelessness prevention and crisis
response projects for FY 2023/24. Staff presented the FY 2023/24 recommendations to the
Family & Human Services (FHS) Committee in May 2023 and those recommendations were
subsequently approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 13, 2023.
On November 7, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved the FHS Committee recommendation
to establish and implement a two-year funding cycle beginning with the Year One and Year Two
Measure X Housing Funds (FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25). Therefore, the recommendations that
were approved for Year One funds would be recommended and awarded for Year Two (FY
2024/25) funding in the same or similar amount, contingent on the availability of funds,
satisfactory performance of the awarded program, and the completion and submittal of a renewal
application.
Available Funding
The total amount available for FY 2024/25 in the County’s Measure X Housing Fund is $12.6
million dollars. As approved by the Board of Supervisors, the Measure X Housing Fund is split
between DCD and HSD-H3, with 75 percent directly managed and distributed by DCD and 25
percent directly managed and distributed by HSD-H3. The amount available of FY 2024/25
Measure X Housing Funds for housing-related and homelessness response/intervention services is
$4,150,000, which includes H3’s 25 percent portion ($3,150,000) of the total Measure X Housing
Fund and an additional $1 million that is coming from DCD’s 75 percent portion.
The remaining balance of the Measure X Housing Fund was dedicated to affordable housing
development projects included in DCD’s Request For Proposals (RFP) released in October 2023
and recommendations for those funds will be considered by the Board of Supervisors in June
2024.
Additional funding sources available for housing services/crisis response and intervention and
included in this recommendation process, include Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention
(HHAP) Program via the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH), Housing
Disability Advocacy Program via the California Department of Social Services, and Contra Costa
County Probation. These additional non-Measure X funding sources total $4,397,700.
Application Process and Evaluation Criteria:
H3 and DCD released an RFP for Year Two funds on December 21, 2023. As the Board of
Supervisors approved a two-year funding cycle, the RFP required the service providers that were
awarded Year One funds to submit a renewal application so they could renew and be recommended
and awarded Year 2 funds in approximately the similar amount. In addition to the renewal
applications, the RFP did allow for service providers to apply for new services and was also open to
service providers that were interested in applying for one-time funding for innovation and capacity
building projects.
91
In total, 26 applications (renewal applications, new service applications, and one-time
innovation/capacity building applications) were submitted by the February 2, 2024 deadline.
Staff’s recommendations for the renewal applications, new projects, the innovation/capacity
building projects, and non-Measure X funded projects are indicated respectively on Tables One
through Four below. During the week of May 13, 2024, H3 and DCD notified applicants of
staff’s funding recommendations. These recommendations support 16 community-based
organizations, 100% of which are recommended for Measure X funding totaling $4.15 million.
The recommended funds would support programs such as rapid rehousing, emergency shelter,
and capacity building services for non-profit service providers. The funding recommendations
by program type are listed below in Table Five. All applicants were notified that
recommendations would be considered by the Board’s Family and Human Services Committee
on May 20, 2024, and the Committee’s recommendations were expected to be considered by the
full Board in June 2024.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
1. Accept this report from the Health Services Department and the Department of
Conservation and Development; and
2. Provide funding recommendations as recommended by staff or amended by the
Committee to the Board of Supervisors for consideration on June 4, 2024.

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 last report was received by FHS at its May 22, 2023 meeting and later received by the Board of
Supervisors at its June 13, 2023 meeting.
Referral Update:
