| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In August 2018, the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) released a Notice of Funding Availability for the California Emergency Solutions and Housing (CESH) Grant. The funding was allocated to the local homeless continuums of care (CoCs) for the purpose of providing: rental assistance, housing relocation, stabilization services, operating subsides, flexible housing subsidy funds, operating support for emergency housing intervention and system support. These funds were approved through the June 27, 2018 passing of Senate Bill 850 to provide immediate assistance to cities, counties, and local continuums of care to address the homelessness crisis throughout California.
Requirements of the CESH grant included designating an Administrative Entity and establishing a local selection committee of non-conflicted partners to review and approve grant applications. The local CoC, known as the Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC), designated the County of Yolo as the Administrative Entity on September 26, 2018. The local selection committee reviewed proposals throughout the month of November 2018, with the funding recommendations being approved by HPAC on November 28, 2018.
Through the local selection process, Yolo Wayfarer Center’s proposal was selected to provide operational support services for the emergency shelter. Project funding will provide additional case management to enhance services and outcomes as well as support staff to maintain health and safety standards.
