SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Agreement#28-587-9 with the State of California Department of Housing and
Community Development
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and Authorize the Health Services Director, or designee (Wendel Brunner, M.D.), to execute, on
behalf of the County, Standard Agreement #28-587-9 (State #07-EHAP-3945) with the State of California
Department of Housing and Community Development to pay the County an amount not to exceed $33,000
for the Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP) and Greater Richmond Interfaith Programs'
Emergency Shelter for Families, for fiscal year 2008-2009, including agreeing to indemnify and hold
harmless the State for claims arising out of the County's performance under the Contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this agreement will result in $33,000 of funding from the California Department of Housing and
Community Development for the Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP) Round 15 which is
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):
On January 8, 2008, the Board of Supervisors approved the application for the EHAP Round 14 funding to
support the County Homeless Programs Emergency Shelter for single adults and Greater Richmond Interfaith
Programs Emergency Shelter for Families for fiscal year 2008-2009. There is continuing concern about the
lack of emergency shelter services for homeless single adults and families. EHAP 15 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 (GRIP)to achieve this goal.
Approval of this Standard Agreement 428-587-9 will support emergency shelter for families operated by GRIP
and shelter beds for single adults operated by the County Homeless Program.
