| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
This agreement offers an opportunity for Yolo County to receive one-time allocation funding to address the immediate emergency needs of homeless individuals and individuals at imminent risk of homelessness in the service area. Staff intends to use these funds to pay for rental assistance or subsidies, capital improvements, homeless youth services and other relevant services for the benefit of homeless individuals.
Funds available through the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) are allocated within homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) service areas, and may only be applied for by an administrative entity designated by the local CoC. In Yolo County, the body serving as the CoC is the Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC). HPAC has formally designated the County of Yolo as the administrative entity for HEAP funds.
The County, as the administrative entity for HEAP funds, will received the funds, establish subcontracts with local providers, and conduct all monitoring and reporting related to these funds. The County provided staff support to the Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC) as it held a fair and open local process to determine use of the funds, and will establish subcontracts based on that process.
Approval of this agreement will provide resources for the County to effectively manage issues of homelessness in the Yolo County community. |
