Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a contract with the Community Shelter Board. The contract will provide $451,367.00 from the General Fund to support the Rebuilding Lives program. The Rebuilding Lives Plan is a two-pronged approach to ending homelessness and literally "rebuilding lives." The first prong is meeting the short-term needs of homeless men and women through an improved safety net of emergency shelter. The second prong is the meeting of long-term needs through the development and operation of permanent supportive housing.

The funds requested under this legislation will be for supportive services to the Rebuilding Lives program. Supportive services will consist of coordination of necessary social services for homeless men and referrals for homeless men and women to physical and mental health agencies. This funding assures operations and services for 424 units.

Emergency action is necessary to allow program services to continue without interruption.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this contract is provided from the General Fund.
