SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT a resolution to AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director or designee to submit and execute a
funding application for EHAP 14 fund allocations in FY 2007-2008 in an amount up to $33,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds requested of the Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP) Round 14 are essential to
maintaining our future capacity throughout the emergency shelter system. No additional County funds are
required to match this revenue.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
There is continuing concern about the lack of emergency shelter services for homeless single adults and
families. EHAP XIII funding is essential to Contra Costa maintaining our future bed capacity. The County
Homeless Program is committed to working with community agencies, such as Greater Richmond Interfaith
Program to achieve this goal.
This joint application with Greater Richmond Interfaith Program for EHAP Round 14 funds will support
emergency shelter for families operated by GRIP and shelter beds for single adults operated by the County
Homeless Program.
