Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a contract with the Community Shelter Board (CSB) for the Safety Net Program. The contract will provide $2,847,258 from the General Fund for the purpose of continuing the City’s support for homeless emergency shelters, related homeless shelter services, and homelessness prevention and transition services. These programs have effectively and efficiently enabled our community to help individuals and families who are homeless or near homelessness to resolve their housing crisis.
This contract is awarded pursuant to the relevant provisions of Chapter 329 of City Code relating to the process for awarding not-for-profit service contracts.
The services provided by the CSB are not able to be provided directly by the city because the city staff does not have the expertise or infrastructure to provide these services.
Emergency action is requested so that the Community Shelter Board can continue to provide these services without interruption.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this contract are allocated from the Division of Housing’s FY2019 General Fund budget.
