SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The State of California Department of Aging allocated additional funding for the Housing and Disability Income Advocacy Program (HDAP) and extended the term for one year. This Amendment to Agreement #A13851 adds additional funding of $213,408 effective June 1, 2020 and extending the term for one (1) additional year, through June 30, 2021. This agreement with Central Coast Center for Independent Living (CCCIL) provides program housing search, placement support and rental subsidies for HDAP participants referred by the County. This Program assists the County of Monterey in addressing homelessness for individuals who may be eligible for disability benefits. Outreach, case management, advocacy and housing assistance are the four program components required to be offered to all program participants. The Department of Social Services (DSS) collaborates with other County departments and community partners to administer the HDAP.
The Amendment #3 was delayed in being brought to the Board because the Department was assessing the growing need during the pandemic and the Shelter-In Order, such as placing clients in motels. The Department recommends approval of this amendment to continue services with the remaining funding through June 30, 2021.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Auditor/Controller and Contracts Purchasing have reviewed and approved this Agreement. County Counsel has approved this Agreement as to form.
FINANCING:
This allocation has a dollar-for-dollar matching requirement. Funding for these services is provided with the HDAP State Funding and local match dollars from the CCCIL in the amount of $213,408 with no additional County General Fund Contributions required. Sufficient appropriations and revenues in SOC005 are included in the FY2019-20 Modified Budget and FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
This agreement correlates to the Health & Human Services and Administration Strategic Initiatives adopted by the Board of Supervisors by allowing the Department to leverage State funding to implement the HDAP program which will improve the quality of life for individuals who are disabled and experiencing homelessness by proving pathways to safe and secure housing.
