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 COVID-19 among persons 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 Homeless Services Continuum of Care, are distributed to State Governments, which then release funds directly to the CoC. Funds are awarded in two funding rounds; the first round of funding awarded to Mendocino County was $705,100.
The proposed Agreement with Mendocino Coast Hospitality Center provides funding for the month of December 2020 for the Coastal Emergency Winter Shelter. The Agreement also provides funding for additional hygiene and housekeeping supplies for the Hospitality House Emergency Shelter, for the months of September through December 2020, to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus among individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness in the coastal region of Mendocino County.
The proposed Agreement covers costs for emergency shelter services and supplies during the time needed for the Health and Human Services Agency to complete a Request for Proposals (RFP). The Agreement is retroactive due to the timing of the release of funds, the urgency of needing to assist shelters with continued COVID-19 response, and the time required to issue an RFP. Execution of a retroactive agreement was the only available option for providing shelter funding under these circumstances.
