paid for the April extension. The City of Richmond said it will pay for
one month if the community is able to raise the funds for one month of
operation. The Board of Supervisors allowed a one week extension on
May 1, 1992 due to the possibility of a $5,000 contribution from the City
of Pinole.
Prior to this extension the trailer shelter had been operating on the basis
of an emergency declaration. Continued use of the trailers is necessary to
prevent or mitigate an emergency, as defined in Public Resources Code
Section 21060.3, thereby exempting such action from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as an emergency project.
The extension of the use of the trailer shelter will allow an opportunity
for additional contributions to come in to reimburse the County for shelter
costs for the month of May.
As part of the preparation for shelter closure at the end of May, the
Housing Authority no longer accepts new homeless referrals for the trailer
shelter.
