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-10041 to provide individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Mendocino County prompt access to the Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care’s (MCHSCoC) Coordinated Entry System (CES). The proposed Agreement is fully funded by HHAP funds, with no General Funds used.
