| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
On or about June 1, 2020 the California Department of Housing and Community Development released a Notice of funding Availability (NOFA) for the Federal Emergency Solutions Grant Program Coronavirus (ESG-CV). The funding was allocated to the Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC) for the purpose of preventing, preparing for, and responding to coronavirus. On or about June 24, 2020, HPAC voted to make Yolo County the administrative entity for the ESG-CV funds. On or about December 22, 2020 the County entered into State Agreement No. 20-ESGCV1-0035 (“State Contract”) with the Department of Housing and Community Development (“Department”), via the Department’s administration of the Federal CARES Act Emergency Solutions Grants (“ESG-CV”) Program, pursuant to the provisions of the 2020 Federally enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, Title XII, Homeless Assistance Grants Section (“CARES Act”) and any waivers including the HUD Mega-Waiver dated April 1, 2020, and where not superseded by the CARES Act, pursuant to the provisions of 42 USC 11371; 42 USC 11378; 24 CFR Part 576; all as shall be amended from time to time.
This agreement supports the implementation and operation of the current family shelter program until the permanent family shelter facility at 285 4th Street in Woodland, CA (currently Walter’s House) is available for occupancy. The current shelter has converted to 24/7 operations for individuals only in response to COVID-19, so this project fills an 18- 24-month gap in shelter accommodations for families. The project will lease unit(s) for two (2) families experiencing homelessness that are not eligible for CalWORKs funded housing. Ultimately, the project will expand shelter for families with children to 11 units (44 beds). The project will also provide an initial four rooms in one unit with eight (8) beds. Based on a 90-day average length of stay, the project will serve approximately 32 individuals annually.
The target population are families that are homeless and those fleeing/attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, stalking and any other dangerous or life-threatening conditions that relate to violence against homeless individuals and families. Prioritization will be given to unsheltered individuals living in places not meant for human habitation that have experienced the longest amount of time homeless and have multiple and severe service needs that impact their ability to access housing on their own.
