Summary of Request:
Mendocino County currently contracts with Mendocino Coast Hospitality Center (MCHC) to provide shelter services and related resources to clients on the coast, to address the needs of the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) General Assistance (GA) clients and other coastal region persons who are at risk of, or currently experiencing homelessness. MCHC provides beds, meals, shower and laundry facilities, phone access, mail delivery, other amenities, outreach, and housing assistance to qualified individuals.
MCHC will continue providing services through the proposed contract for Fiscal Year 2019-20, which includes new language as recommended by Homelessness Consultant, Robert G. Marbut, Ph.D. Dr. Marbut recommended adding clear definitions of “Direct Connectivity to Mendocino County” in order to align the contract with the recommendations made in his report to the Board of Supervisors (BOS) on March 13, 2018 and April 24, 2018 titled “Homelessness Needs Assessment and Action Steps for Mendocino County.” The new language recommended by Dr. Marbut ensures that the majority of services are provided to families with children, and “homegrown and local individuals.” These definitions are in compliance with guidelines created and approved by the Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care (MCHSCoC) on May 20, 2019.
This contract was originally drafted to go before the BOS on June 18, 2019. The changes recommended by Dr. Marbut, and incorporation of the MCHSCoC language, caused the contract to be revised, reconsidered, and agreed upon by all parties, then re-routed through the approval process, necessitating a retroactive start date.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
