BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Corina Costa County receives federal Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)funds on an entitlement basis
for.use in funding emergency homeless shelter operations and related services, and homeless
prevention activities. The County's FY 1996 allocation is$104,000. ESG funds are allocated through
a competitive application process administered by the Community Development Department(CDD).
On June 6, 1996, a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) was sent to 30 public agencies and
nonprofit housing and homeless service providers active in Contra Costa County. CDD received 4
applications requesting a total of$153,730 in ESG funds. Attachment A contains a brief summary
of applications received. Projects were evaluated and funding recommendations developed using the
following criteria:
• Consistency with County homeless shelter and service priorities;
• Eligibility under federal regulations;
• Alleviation of homeless needs;
• Degree to which the project serves the target population;
• Project feasibility and cost-effectiveness;
• Proposed matching funds and ability of the project to leverage other resources;
• Capacity of project sponsor; and
• Project readiness.
The following projects are recommended for funding:
• Homeless Emergence Shelter Operation -- As proposed, the County Health Services
Department (HSD) will use ESG funds ($ 94,000) for operating expenses at the Central
County and Brookside Emergency Shelters with a combined capacity of 116 emergency
shelter beds. The County shelters serve a critical need through the provision of emergency
housing and services to very-low income homeless populations in a cost-effective manner
($900 per shelter bed per month). In addition to shelter, residents are assigned a Case
Manager and provided with support services designed to assist the homeless to achieve an
independent living status.
• Case Management for the Pittsburg Family Center--As proposed, Shelter, Inc. will use ESG
funds($10,000)to provide case management to homeless families who stay at the Pittsburg
Family Center(PFC). Reimbursement will be limited to services provided to Urban County
residents. The PFC provides seven transitional housing units for homeless families for a
period of three to six months. In addition to providing housing, PFC goals include assisting,
residents to obtain permanent housing, secure employment and increase their household
income, and receive needed medical care.
