Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
August 4, 2020, Project Homekey Program report from County staff, and creation of Ad Hoc Committee to work with City of Fort Bragg on housing issues.
September 22, 2020, approval of Resolution No. 20-120 authorizing application to the Homekey Program.
Summary of Request:
Administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), $600 million in grant funding was made available in 2020 to local public entities including cities, counties, or other local public entities within California. Funding was intended for the purchase and rehabilitation of housing including hotels, motels, vacant apartment buildings, and other buildings, and to convert them into interim or permanent, long-term housing for households experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness. This program is entitled the Project Homekey Program.
On September 22, 2020, the County of Mendocino Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No. 20-120 and authorized County staff to apply for funding from Round 1 of the Project Homekey Program in the amount of $8,325,500 for capital expenditures. The County was awarded the funds, and subsequently purchased the former Best Western Inn on Orchard Lane in Ukiah, remodeled the hotel, and re-opened it as Live Oak Apartments in April of 2021.
Resolution No. 20-120 authorized former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Carmel Angelo by name, as the authorized signatory for the resulting Agreement from the State of California. HCD recently requested this authorization be updated to authorize the current CEO or designee to be the signatory for all Project Homekey documents in order to help them accurately prepare an updated Standard Agreement for the County to be signed by the new authority. The proposed Resolution updates the authorized signatory to the Chief Executive Officer, or their designee, without name attribute. This revision will allow the current and any future CEO to sign updates and amendments to the Standard Agreement and other documents related to Project Homekey.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
