FAMILY & HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE Meeting Date:September 23, 2024 Subject:Appointment to the Family and Children’s Trust Committee (FACT) Submitted For:Marla Stuart, Director Department:Employment and Human Services Department Referral No:N/A Referral Name:N/A Presenter:Laura Malone, FACT Staff Contact:Laura Malone, 925-608-4943 Referral History: On January 7, 2020 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 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 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. On March 19, 2024 the Board of Supervisors approved a reduction of FACT Committee member seats from fifteen (15) to eleven (11). This reduction has allowed the FACT Committee to achieve quorum and meet regularly. Members 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.

FAMILY & HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE Meeting Date:September 23, 2024 Subject:Annual Update on Homeless Continuum of Care Submitted For:Anna Roth, Health Services Director Department:Health Services Referral No:5 Referral Name:Homeless Continuum of Care / Health Care for the Homeless Presenter:Jaime Jenett, Community Engagement Specialist and Jamie Schecter, Homeless Services Chief Contact:Jaime Jenett, (925) 608-6701 Referral History: 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: 1.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; 2.Use best, promising, and most effective practices to give the consumer the best possible experience through the strategic use of resources; and 3.Develop the most effective platforms to provide access, support advocacy, and connect to the community about homelessness and available resources. 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 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. The last annual report to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) was presented on September 25, 2024.

Transition age youth (TAY), ages 18–24: TAY made up 7% of the CoC served and increased by 36% since 2019. Race/ethnicity: Black/African American/African households and people with multiple races were over-represented in the CoC relative to the county population (4x and 3x, respectively). Disabling conditions: 70% of households served in the CoC had a member with at least one disabling condition. Mental health condition was the most prevalent disability, accounting for 45% of households. Survivors of domestic violence: 83% of households accessing Crisis Response services had at least one household member who had experienced domestic violence. Sexual orientation: 3% of adults served in Crisis Response identified as LGBTQIA+ and 20% of the LGBTQIA+ population served in Crisis Response were between the ages of 18 and 24. Veterans: The CoC served 887 veterans in 2023 (8%) of all adults. Veteran households made up 34% of all households in Permanent Housing programs. The data suggests there is movement across the county. More people lost housing in East County (37% of households) than in Central or West, while fewer households slept in Central County (23% of households) the night prior to enrolling into programs. More people lost housing from Antioch than any other city (n=1,916), followed by Richmond (n=1,720) and Concord (n=1,284). An annual memorial has been hosted in Contra Costa since 2004 to acknowledge and honor people who pass away while experiencing homelessness. The coroner reported 113 people experiencing homelessness died during calendar year 2023.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CONTINUUM OF CARE | HEALTH HOUSING AND HOMELESS SERVICES PAGE 09 Contra Costa CoC uses the evidence- based Housing First approach to serve people experiencing homelessness "Housing First is an approach where homeless persons are provided immediate access to housing & then offered the supportive services that may be needed to foster long-term stability & prevent a return to homelessness. This approach removes unnecessary barriers & assumes that supportive services are more effective in addressing needs when the individual or family is housed—when the daily stress of being homeless is taken out of the equation.” —Ann Marie Oliva Director, Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs August 21, 2016. 101 COC AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS Encampment Abatements Anchor Marina Before Anchor Marina After C o l l a b o r a t i o n b e t w e e n C o C s e r v i c e p r o v i d e r s , l o c a l j u r i s d i c t i o n s , c o m m u n i t y m e m b e r s , a n d C o u n t y a g e n c i e s a l l o w s f o r a b r o a d e r r e a c h a n d w i d e r a r r a y o f s e r v i c e s f o r t h o s e a c c e s s i n g t h e h o m e l e s s s y s t e m o f c a r e .

TABLE 1: FISCAL YEAR BUDGETS FOR 19–20 THROUGH 23–24 COC BUDGET Budgets are prepared for each federal fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). During fiscal year 2023–2024, which overlaps with the calendar year for this annual report, HUD awarded the CoC $19,300,140 and an additional $1,789,609 through one-time special funding to support unsheltered homelessness. This amount represents a 22% increase over five years in HUD funding. Additional non-HUD funds in the amount of $21,689,934 obtained through grants and foundations provided supplemental and critical financial resources for CoC administration, planning, data management, housing, and other critical services. These non-HUD funds, which account for 51% of the CoC budget, have fluctuated by over $13 million in the past five years, primarily due to one-time funding during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this past year, funding has stabilized and represents a 10% increase, from fiscal year 2019-2020 to fiscal year 2023–2024 (Table 1). Special NOFO funding is a 3 year award totaling $5.3 million. This table reflects a third of this award. 110 28% increase in households since 2019.

During 2021, the number of households served decreased while services were limited and capacity to serve people at shelters was reduced to prevent over-crowding and the spread of COVID-19 and programs began to increase service in 2022 as COVID-19 response became more integrated in day-to-day operations. (Figure One). The CoC has ten program models that fall under three categories based on the homeless status of those people utilizing those services: Prevention and Diversion, 1. Crisis Response, and 2. Permanent Housing (Figure Two).3.

When Healthcare for the Homeless first connected with Jack, he had been living in his car for seven years and was so ill he needed to be hospitalized. He was eventually discharged to the Phillip Dorn Respite Center and then to the Concord Shelter, where he was connected to the Housing and Disability Access Program (HDAP) program through Hope Solutions. The HDAP team worked hard to get Jack connected to consistent mental and physical health care, Social Security benefits and into housing. After two years of aftercare services, including financial support and case management, he was successfully exited from the program and living on his own. Six months later, Jack reached back out to the HDAP team when he learned he had 60 days to leave his shared housing situation because the owner of the home he was living in died, and the family was selling the home. The HDAP team helped Jack apply for multiple affordable housing lists and also looked for other resources to prevent his return to unsheltered homelessness. Before the 60 days were up, Jack was notified that he had made it to the top of list for a project-based housing voucher in East Contra Costa County. However, because of his very low income, Jack could not afford move-in costs like security deposit, first month’s rent, and moving services. Without these costs covered, Jack would be unable to take this housing opportunity and would likely return to homelessness. His team was able to use HDAP Prevention funding to cover the security deposit and first month’s rent and reached out to a few key community partners including local businesses that donated furniture and household essential items and moving service. With the support of the HDAP program, Jack’s return to homelessness was prevented and he now lives in a safe, secure, affordable apartment of his own.
