BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The County proposes to use FY 1993 ESG funds at the County' s Mountain
View Shelter for homeless women and families in Martinez for the
following purposes : $40,000 to provide a commercial training kitchen;
and $9,000 for fencing and site improvements . These projects are
strongly supported by the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County and
the Association of Homeless Housing Service Providers .
o The proposed commercial kitchen at the Mountain View Family
Shelter will enable the County to provide job training in food
preparation to homeless shelter residents, increasing the
ability of this population to ultimately achieve economic
independence. In addition, onsite food preparation will
significantly improve the operating efficiency of this shelter
and help to ensure the provision of a nutritious food program
for resident families .
o The existing fence at the Mountain View Shelter is in extremely
poor condition. Safety considerations surrounding the presence
of children at this facility require that this fence be replaced .
at the earliest, possible time. In addition, plantings,
irrigation improvements, and soil amendments are needed in order
to provide erosion control .
