SUBJECT: Approval of agreement #28=719-4 with the State of California to receive FESG funding for the
operation of the Adult Interim Housing Program for Adults for FY 07-09.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation(s):
Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Wendel Brunner, M.D.) to accept
FESG Funding from the State of California Housing and Community Development Department, in an amount
not to exceed $193,746 and enter into an agreement #28-719-4 with the State of California, to perform all
responsibilities in relationship to receipt of the funding and contracted provisions for October 1, 2007
through September 30. 2009, including agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the State from any claims
arising out of the performance of this Agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiends requested of the Federal Emergency Shelter Grant Program (FESG) 2007 are essential to
maintaining adequate emergency housing and supportive services to chronically homeless individuals year-
round. No additional County finds are required.
Background/Reason(s) for Recommendation(s):
The Health Services Department seeks funding to operate the adult interim-housing program at full capacity
on a year-round basis. The Federal Emergency Shelter Grant (FESG) program, allocated through the State of
California, is a source of public funding providing valuable housing and service benefits to homeless
residents of Contra Costa County.
Each year, the shelters serve over 800 individuals per year — most of whom are chronically homeless. The
nearly $200.000.00 requested in Federal Emergency Shelter Grant funding is necessary for the operation of
the interim housing program for adults. Without such funding, the emergency shelter program may have to
operate at a reduced capacity.
Three certified and sealed copies of the Board Order authorizing submission of the application should be
returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
