SUBJECT: Amendment to Revenue Agreement with California Department of Housing and Community Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment I to Agreement No. 21-012 with the California Department of Housing and Community Development to add round two CARES Act Emergency Solutions Grant funds, effective upon execution by the State, through September 30, 2022, increasing the maximum by $1,512,000 to a total of $2,520,100.
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the recommended action will allow the Department of Social Services, on behalf of the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC), to receive round two of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG-CV2) funds from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). These funds will support ESG-eligible activities including Rapid Rehousing, Emergency Shelter, Street Outreach, the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and Administration. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. Should your Board choose not to approve the recommended action, $1,512,000 to benefit persons experiencing homelessness in the community would be forfeited.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. If approved, the maximum compensation will increase to $2,520,100.
