SUBJECT; Use of County Personnel Expertise to Aid the Task Force on the

Assistance to the Homeless
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Direct the County Housing Authority, Social Services
Department and Community Development Department to provide
immediate technical assistance to the Task Force on the
Homeless and the Office on Homelessness to initiate use, as
soon as possible, of the Housing Assistance Fund for
emergency assistance to the homeless in Contra Costa County.
The goal should be to. establish an immediate, interim policy
and procedure for use of the funds to begin emergency
assistance within a week and subsequently revise it to a
permanent, ongoing policy and procedure as needed.
BACKGROUND
The Office on Homelessness and the Task Force on the
Homeless do not have enough staff resources to cover all the
needs related to the homeless. Although the Housing
Asistance Fund now has $45,000 in donations, the Office on
Homelessness has not been able to establish necessary
policies and procedures to dispense the emergency funds.
Therefore, it is essential that Contra Costa County staff
expertise be provided so that the funds can be used
immediately, particularly while the weather is still quite
cold.
