SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Since August of 2020, North Coast Opportunities, Inc. (NCO) has been supporting the County in an effort to assist the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) entered into an Agreement with NCO on August 19, 2020, for COVID-19 relief services to families requiring urgent support to address housing and food crises during the pandemic. The proposed retroactive Agreement expands services to include meal and hygiene supply deliveries to individuals placed in quarantine or isolation.
HHSA staff priorities have been adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which created a longer than expected processing time for this Agreement. Similar delays also affected NCO's review and signature process. HHSA therefore requests retroactive approval of the proposed Agreement.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
