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 the Continuum of Care (CoC) program in addressing COVID-19 among those experiencing homelessness. 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 and homeless prevention 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 release funds directly to the CoC. If awarded, the contract is anticipated to start upon full execution by both parties and will continue through September 30, 2022. Funds must be expended by August 31, 2022.
Today’s item requests ratification of submission of Mendocino County’s application for funds through the CARES Act, which the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) submitted on July 9, 2020, as the administrative entity for the Mendocino County Homeless Services Continuum of Care (MCHSCoC). Additionally, HHSA requests the Board adopt a Resolution authorizing HHSA to accept funding on behalf of MCHSCoC; the resolution is required as part of the application and award process.
If awarded, MCHSCoC will administer subcontracts to eligible community-based organizations to address COVID-19 among the local homeless population.

Return to staff for alternative handling.
