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. Through this Agreement, the Central Coast Center for Independent Living (CCCIL) will provide program housing search, placement support, and rental subsidies for HDAP participants referred by the County.
This amendment has been created based upon the additional $265,883 of funding allocated from California Department of Social Services for the HDAP operations.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Auditor/Controller and Purchasing have reviewed and approved this Agreement. County Counsel has approved the Agreement as to form.
FINANCING:
Funding for these services is provided with the HDAP State Funding and local match dollars from CCCIL with no additional County General Fund contributions required. This allocation has a dollar-for-dollar matching requirement. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues in SOC005 are included in the FY2020-21 Adopted Budget.
