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. 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. 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. On May 21, 2024, the BOS approved Resolution No. 24-079, approving acceptance of Round 5 HHAP funding in the amount of $1,783,550.01.
The proposed Agreement with Redwood Community Services, Inc., utilizes funding from Round 5 HHAP funding Agreement No. 24-HHAP-10038, to provide prompt access to the Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care’s Coordinated Entry System for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Mendocino County. The proposed Agreement is fully funded by HHAP funds, with no General Funds used. This Agreement cannot extend for longer than 12 months because it is grant-funded, and the Department does not have spending authority from the funder beyond that point; nor has it received an award letter that allows the County to commit to funding beyond a single year. This agreement is retroactive due to ongoing contract negotiations with the Contractor regarding the implementation of project improvements needed to align with new Coordinated Entry System policies.
