SUBJECT: Application for City of Concord CDBG Public County
Facilities Improvement Funds for the Central County Emergency
Shelter for Adults and Families for FY 2002-2003.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to develop and transmit
an application along with the necessary certification and assurances to the City of Concord
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for the renovation and improvement of the Central
County Shelter for Adults and Families located in Concord.
B. Authorize the Director of Health Services or his designee, if awarded, to accept up to $50,000 in
City of Concord CDBG funding and enter into a contract with the City of Concord to perform all
responsibilities in relationship to receipt of the funding and contracted provisions for FY 2002-
2003.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 25% match requirement for CDBG funding will be met by funds committed by the City of
Walnut Creek for improvements to the shelters. No County funds are required to match the
award.
BACKGROUND:
The Central County Shelter, located at 2047 Arnold Industrial Way, was built in the early 1990's
to accommodate 60 homeless individuals in need of food and shelter. Since that time, the
services have been expanded to provide a more comprehensive package that includes case
management, healthcare screenings, information and referrals to mental health and substance
abuse services, and housing search assistance. In November 2000, the shelter was augmented
to support homeless families in the County who needed assistance.
Last year, the County renovated the Brookside Shelter in Richmond, CA. It is now time to make
improvements to the facility in Concord that will benefit the adults and children residing in that
facility. Renovations and improvements are needed for the health and safety of all residents and
to provide functional adequacy of the Emergency Shelter for Adults and Families.
