TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Delfino E. Neira, Department of Social Services
SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement with Housing Authority of the County of Fresno for CalWORKs Housing Support Program Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment II to Agreement A-15-072-1 with the Housing Authority of the County of Fresno for CalWORKs Housing Support Program services, effective July 1, 2017, to extend the contract term by one year from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, add one optional one-year extension, and increase the maximum by $1,440,000 for a total compensation of $3,937,618.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will extend the current Agreement with the Housing Authority of the County of Fresno for one year (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018), with an optional one-year extension (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019). Approval will allow the Department to leverage ongoing State funding to provide rapid re-housing and case management to homeless California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) families in Fresno County. Financial assistance and wrap-around services are financed entirely with CalWORKs Housing Support Program (HSP) funds, with no Net County Cost.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. If the Board does not approve the recommended action, CalWORKs housing support services would discontinue for homeless CalWORKs families.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The maximum cost of the recommended Agreement for the period of February 24, 2015 through June 30, 2019 is $3,937,618, an increase of $1,440,000, and will be entirely offset with the CalWORKs HSP funding allocation. Sufficient appropriations have been included in the FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget for the Department of Social Services Organization 5610 and will be included in subsequent requested budgets.
