BACKGROUNWREASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The Health Services Department seeks funding for the operation of the GPAC permanent
Supportive housing facility in Pleasant Hill.. GPAC is a permanent supportive housing project
aimed at tarheting homeless families from the County's emergency and transitional housing
progr•ains that have at least one parent disabled by mental illness, Substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, or
dual/multiple diagnoses. GPAC is designed to house 27 homeless Contra Costa families with an
emphasis on families maintaining their permanent, safe, and affordable housing Maintaining and
expanding permanent supportive housing is considered a high priority within the County's
Continuum of Care strategy. Continuing services will be provided to ensure that the family is
connected with services and other means of support that will sustain the family in independent
housing. We believe that this approach is critical to ending the devastating effect that
homelessness has on our families with children.
Three certified and sealed copies of the Board Order authorizing submission of the application
should be returned to the Contract and Grants Unit.
