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 April 8, 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 21-159/SS 20-078 extends the term through September 30, 2023, enabling Mendocino Coast Hospitality Center to continue providing much-needed Rapid Re-Housing services.
This Amendment is retroactive because while processing end-of-grant expenses, additional allowable costs were submitted by the contractor. These expenses still fall within the grant period and are fully funded by the grant; no County General Funds support the Amendment.
