Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
February 28, 2023, Item 3ao), Board of Supervisors (BOS) approval of Revenue Agreement No. BOS-23-032 (22-HHAP-20041).
October 31, 2023, Item 3u), BOS approval of Revenue Agreement No. BOS-23-183 (23-HHAP-10035).
Summary of Request:
In 2020, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors’ (BOS) Homeless Action Ad Hoc Committee met with staff and community stakeholders to develop a preliminary expenditure plan and submit an application for Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) funding. Soon after, Mendocino County entered into a revenue Agreement with Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (BCSH) for Round 1 HHAP funding in the amount of $924,734.12 with Mendocino County as the Administrative Entity for the Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care (MCHSCoC). Since this initial Round 1 of HHAP funding, Mendocino County entered into four more Agreements for additional Round 1 and Round 2 HHAP funding in the amounts of $856,699.99, $437,551, $391,634, and $567,869.71. More recently, on February 28, 2023, the BOS approved Round 3 HHAP funding Agreement No. 22-HHAP-20041 with BCSH in the amount of $1,703,609.13; and on October 31, 2023, the BOS approved Round 4 HHAP funding Agreement No. 23-HHAP-10035 with BCSH in the amount of $2,138,443.88.
The proposed Agreement with Redwood Community Services, Inc. utilizes HHAP funding from 22-HHAP-20041 and 23-HHAP-10035 for congregate shelter for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Mendocino County. The proposed Agreement is fully funded by HHAP funds, with no General Funds used. When Mendocino County Social Services began processing this Agreement, multiple points of approval were required from more than one governing body to ensure compliance with HHAP funding requirements. The extra time required to obtain approval delayed implementation of the Agreement, creating a retroactive start date for congregate shelter services dating back to January 1, 2024.
