SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Central Coast Center for Independent Living is a local non-profit that provides a variety of programs to assistant people with disabilities. The purpose of this agreement is to provide housing search, housing placement support, and rental subsidies for Housing and Disability Advocacy Program (HDAP) participants. The HDAP Target Population is adults, youth, and families who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness, and may be disabled, and are not receiving Social Security benefits or Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) benefits and wish to file or have already filed for them.
The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) allocated additional HDAP funding to Monterey County to support ongoing HDAP services and the expansion of HDAP eligibility criteria which includes youth, families, and those at risk of homelessness. This amendment adds one additional year to the term, ending June 30, 2023 and adds the additional funds to the existing agreement for continued and expanded services.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Auditor/Controller and Purchasing have reviewed and approved this Agreement. County Counsel has approved the agreement as to form.
FINANCING:

The Department currently has sufficient appropriations in 001-5010-SOC005, but will plan to increase appropriations in the Spring once full need for FY 2021-22 has been determined with the balance to be budgeted in FY 2022-23.
