| 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) program. The funding was allocated to the local homeless continuums of care (CoC) for the purpose of providing rental assistance, housing relocation, stabilization services, operating subsides, flexible housing subsidy funds, operating support for emergency housing interventions 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 approved by HPAC on November 28, 2018.
This flexible funding will be used to fund resolutions to the varied and unpredictable barriers to permanent housing encountered by individuals experiencing homelessness. Homelessness prevention services will include a range of services aimed to prevent homelessness at a level necessary to assist a program participant to: regain stability in the program, stabilize the participant’s current permanent housing, or to assist them with a move to other permanent housing.
