RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve and Authorize the Director of the Health Services Department or his

BACKGROUND.-
The
ACKGROUND:The Health Services Department seeks funding to operate the emergency shelter
program at full capacity on a year-round basis. The Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is a
source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to low-
income residents of Contra Costa County. Without such funding the emergency
shelter program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
The $105,000 requested in Emergency Shelter Grant funding is necessary for the
operation of the emergency shelter program for adults at Concord and Brookside.
Current funding sources are not adequate for operations of the shelters at full
capacity on a year-round basis. County General Funds committed to the operation of
the shelter will be used to fulfill the 100% match requirement.
