Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
August 18, 2020, Item 4(u), the Board adopted Resolution 20-097 authorizing receipt of Round 1 of the California State Department of Housing and Community Development's Emergency Solutions Grant CARES Act funds, not to exceed $1,410,200;
November 17, 2020, Item 4(o), the Board adopted Resolution 20-157, authorizing receipt of Rounds 1 and 2 of the California State Department of Housing and Community Development's Emergency Solutions Grant CARES Act funds, not to exceed $5,463,823.
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 released funds directly to the CoC. The total award of the ESG-CV for Mendocino County is $5,463,823.
On May 10, 2021, the Purchasing Agent Agreement No. PA 21-157/SS 20-083 was executed with Redwood Community Services in the amount of $50,000, for Rapid Re-Housing services from May 10, 2021 through June 30, 2022, using Emergency Solutions Grant funding from the CARES Act. The proposed Amendment to Agreement No. PA 21-157/SS 20-083 increases the amount of funds to a new total of $318,536 and extends the term through September 30, 2023, enabling Redwood Community Services to continue providing much-needed Rapid Re-Housing services.
Due to the emergency status of the coronavirus pandemic, and the unpredictable nature of necessary related services, this Amendment was not anticipated, therefore is retroactive.
