| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The Yolo County District Attorney's Office has been receiving the Specialized Emergency Housing Program grant from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services since fiscal year 2017-18.
Through this grant, we have partnered with Empower Yolo and Shores of Hope to provide homeless/home insecure crime victims emergency shelter as well as intensive case management. These services reduce the chance of re-victimization and help break the homelessness cycle by providing an opportunity to achieve permanent housing and self-sufficiency.
In fiscal year 2019-20, the District Attorney's Office was not billed for grant cost for the month of April to June 2020. Those invoices were received in fiscal year 2020-21 and reimbursed with prior grant funds. This has made it necessary to increase appropriations by $75,000. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| With this grant, Yolo County District Attorney partners with Empower Yolo and Shores of Hope. County Counsel has reviewed and signed budget and board resolution. DFS has reviewed the budget resolution. |
