BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On October 15, 2002, FY 2002/03 funding recommendations for the Emergency Shelter Grant program were
considered by the Board of Supervisors. Contra Costa County receives federal Emergency Shelter Grant(ESG)
funds on an entitlement basis for use in funding renovation,major rehabilitation,or conversion of buildings for use
as emergency shelters for the homeless; provision of essential services for the homeless; emergency shelter
operations and related services;and homeless prevention activities. ESG funds are allocated through a competitive
application process administered by the Community Development Department(CDD). Projects are evaluated,and
funding recommendations are developed using criteria consistent with federal regulations and County policies.This
year,funds requested exceeded the amount offends available.Staff made funding recommendations consistent with
the review criteria, and the Northern California Family Center was not recommended for funding. The Board
directed CDD staff to compile a list of potential funding sources for youth homeless shelters
