Agreement SS-23-067 in the amount of $25,000 for similar Homeward Bound services was approved by the Chief Executive Officer and Direct of Social Services on April 10, 2024, for a term of service ending June 30, 2025.
Summary of Request:
Mendocino County currently contracts with Redwood Community Services, Inc. (RCS) to provide transportation services to individuals experiencing homelessness who have identified stable places to stay in locales outside of the county. Through the proposed Agreement, RCS will provide assistance to homeless individuals in need of transportation outside of the county, including bus tickets, trains, air flights, and in limited circumstances, fuel for individuals with access to an automobile. The contractor will enter all relevant demographic and service data for individuals accessing Homeward Bound services in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), so that system administrators can track outcomes over time. Transportation services will be available to eligible homeless individuals currently residing in all regions of Mendocino County.
Grant funding from the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program (HHAP) jointly allocated to Mendocino County and the Mendocino County Homeless Continuum of Care will be used to support the services described in the proposed Agreement.
This contract is retroactive due to the need to close out grant fund accounting and related program activities for the prior fiscal year in order to accurately estimate and plan for the current year’s contract amount and expected services.

Return to staff for alternative handling.
