REPORT
Approval of the recommended actions will waive the competitive bid process for emergency shelter and housing match coordination services provided to individuals in Fresno County. Services are funded with Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the California Department of Social Services CalWORKs Housing Support Program allocation funds.
