JOHN CULLEN, CLERK OF THE County Counsel BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND Auditor-Controller COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR County Administrator(Dorothy Sansoe) BY , DEPUTY would be allocated through a separate competitive application process in the fall. The Citizen Participation Plan requires that this allocation be considered at a public hearing. FY 2007/08 Allocation Plan Contra Costa County receives federal 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. The County's FY 2007/08 allocation is$152,718, including five percent for program administration. ESG funds are allocated on a one-year funding cycle 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. See attached table for funding recommendations. Proposed Changes Funding Cycle Staff is recommending a shortened FY 2007/08 funding cycle (November 2007 through June 2008) in order for.FY 2008/09 ESG program year to coincide with the normal CDBG funding cycle(July through June). Aligning the ESG funding cycle with the CDBG cycle will streamline the process for both the applicants and County Staff. Most of the current ESG applicants are granted CDBG funds from both the County and entitlement cities. The proposed change to better align the ESG and CDBG funding cycles was discussed with the current recipients of ESG funds and all of them supported the change. In addition, Staff recommends that starting in FY 2008/09 funding cycle, the Family and Human Services Committee begin making recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on the use of ESG funds. Because of the similarity of CDBG and ESG applicants and programs it makes sense for the Committee to also make ESG funding recommendations. Currently ESG funding recommendations are prepared by Community Development and County Administrator staff.
