Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of $667,379.00 of the FY 2024 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Department of Development and authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a Subrecipient Agreement - Not for Profit Service Contract in an amount up to $667,379.00 with the Community Shelter Board (CSB) for the administration of the City's Emergency Solutions Grant monies and authorizes the payment of expenses starting July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025.
Funds will be used to meet the housing needs identified in the Consolidated Plan submitted to HUD. The CSB, a non-profit organization, has been selected because of their history with the City and the homeless service community in the funding and coordination of services to homeless individuals and families, as well as their established administrative procedures to effectively and efficiently implement such services. If at any time during the course of monitoring the agreement determines that the Subrecipient has a post-award risk assessment score that is moderate-high or high risk may impose additional contract requirements and those additional requirements shall be added to the agreement to address the higher levels of risk identified and this can be done without returning to Council for approval.
CSB will enter into agreements with one or more nonprofit organizations for the provision of emergency shelter to single adult homeless individuals and for the delivery of rapid re-housing program services for homeless families. CSB will administer financial assistance and provide program oversight administration.
This legislation represents appropriation for a part of the ESG portion of the 2024 Action Plan per ordinance 2993-2023.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this agreement in the amount of $667,379.00 is supported by the 2024 Emergency Solutions Grant (G442304).
