Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
May 4, 2021, Item 4ad), BOS approved Agreement No. 21-083 with Project Sanctuary in the amount of $456,868 to provide non-congregate shelter and housing navigation services.
Summary of Request:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed by Congress on March 27, 2020, included funds for homeless services through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG-CV) to support Continua of Care (CoC) in addressing Coronavirus among the homeless. On June 1, 2020, the Department of Housing and Community Development released a Notice of Funding Availability for the ESG-CV. The ESG-CV provides funding to prevent, prepare for and respond to coronavirus among individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or receiving homeless assistance, and to support additional homeless assistance activities to mitigate the impacts created by coronavirus. ESG-CV funds for non-entitlement CoC jurisdictions, such as Mendocino County, are distributed to State Governments, which then releases funds directly to the CoC. The total award of the ESG-CV for Mendocino County is $5,463,823.
On May 4, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved agreement No. BOS 21-083 in the amount of $456,868 for non-congregate shelter (i.e. motel vouchers) from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, using Emergency Solutions Grant funding from the CARES Act. The proposed Amendment to Agreement No. BOS-21-083 increases the amount of funds to a new total of $1,006,277 and extends the term through September 30, 2023, enabling Project Sanctuary to continue providing much-needed non-congregate shelter services to individuals and families fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking.
