SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the agreement is to provide supplemental funding towards the implementation of an emergency shelter to be named Casa de Noche Buena and operated by Community Human Services (CHS), which will serve single women and families with children in Seaside and the Monterey Peninsula. Program participants will be allowed to stay in the shelter for up to 90 days with justified extensions up to six months total. CHS has received capital and operating funding from the Homeless Emergency Assistance Program (HEAP) but has outstanding need for operational support. The Board of Supervisors previously approved a request from CHS to utilize a county-owned facility to implement and administer this project located at 1292 Olympia Ave in Seaside, CA.
