SUBMITTED BY: Delfino E. Neira, Director, 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 IV to Agreement No. 15-072 with the Housing Authority of the County of Fresno for California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Housing Support Program services, effective upon execution, extending the term by six months from September 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020 and increasing the maximum by $356,878 to a total of $4,581,045.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will allow the Department of Social Services to extend the agreement to allow time to re-issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) and recommend a service provider. Services are funded with CalWORKs Housing Support Program (HSP) funds, with no Net County Cost. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action.

Additionally, the County will not have sufficient time to expend the full allocation for FY 2019-20, which could result in a decrease to future allocations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The amendment will extend the term for six months and increase the maximum compensation by $356,878 to $4,581,045, which will be entirely offset with CalWORKs HSP funding allocation. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues are included in the Department's Org 5610 FY 2019-20 Recommended Budget.
