SUBJECT: Authorization to submit an application for City of Richmond CDBG funding for the
operation of the Emergency Shelter Program for Single Adults for IFY 2006-2007
#7
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
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 Contra Costa
County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for the operation of the Emergency Shelter
for Adults.
Be Authorize the Director of Health Services or his designee to accept up to $50,000 in City of
Richmond CDBG funding and enter into a contract with the Richmond Community & Economic
Development Department to perform all responsibilities in relationship to receipt of the funding and
contracted provisions for FY 2006 - 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds requested of the Richmond CDBG are essential to providing adequate emergency
housing and supportive services to individuals year-round. No additional County funds required.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The Health Services Department seeks funding to operate the emergency shelter program at full
capacity on a year-round basis. Each year, the shelters provide interim housing and support
services to over 800 individuals per year. The Community Development Block Grant 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 homeless persons of Contra Costa County.
Without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to operate at a reduced
capacity.
