BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
In November, 1990 Supervisor Powers suggested that the County pursue
the establishment of a non-sectarian transitional housing shelter for
homeless persons in ,West County. The concept is to pursue the
acquisition and renovation of an existing distressed multi-family
apartment building. County staff would work with a sponsoring non-
profit to identify a property, and secure Federal McKinney Act
Transitional Shelter Funds, other public Funds (CDBG, redevelopment,
etc. ) . and private financing.
On March 15, 1991, a Request for Qualifications was submitted to non-
profit organizations for the purpose of developing a non-sectarian
transitional housing shelter for homeless persons and families in West
County. Qualifications were submitted by: the following organizat' ns:

Qualifications were reviewed relative to .the following criteria:
