| 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). 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 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. On September 26, 2018, the local CoC, known as the Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC), designated the County of Yolo, via the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), to act as the Administrative Entity for these funds. A local selection committee was established and a local competition timeline and project selection process was developed. The local selection committee reviewed proposals throughout the month of November 2018. On November 28, 2018, the funding recommendations made by the local selection committee were approved by HPAC.
Staff recommends approval of this agreement to support street outreach services connecting unsheltered homeless individuals and families to temporary or permanent housing and to provide flexible housing subsidy funds to assist eligible individuals and families with maintaining housing or rapid re-housing, if needed.
