Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation will authorize the transfer of $300,000 within the General Fund, Department of Development and will authorize the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a contract with the Community Shelter Board in the amount of $369,581. Subsequent to the transfer of funds identified above, the contract will provide $369,581 to support the Rebuilding Lives Program. The Rebuilding Lives Plan is a two-pronged approach to ending homelessness and literally "rebuilding lives." This first prong is meeting the short terms needs of homeless men through an improved safety net of emergency shelter. The second prong is the meeting of long-term needs through the development of permanent supportive housing.

The funds transferred and requested under this legislation will be for supportive services to the Rebuilding Lives Program. Supportive services will consist of the coordination of necessary social services for homeless men and referrals for homeless men to physical and mental health agencies. This funding assures operations and services for 457 units.

FISCAL IMPACT: A transfer of $300,000 within the Development Department General Fund is requested for this contract. This transfer plus the $69,581 available within the Housing Division will provide a total of $369,581 for a contract with the Community Shelter Board to support the Rebuilding Lives program through supportive services as described above.
