anchor Description
This project will allow the County to consider how a non-congregate shelter space for individuals that experience acute challenges in congregate shelters can add to the County's homeless services system. As part of the project analysis, a program of requirements will be developed and operating and capital costs will be analyzed.
anchorEstimated Schedule
Program of Requirements (POR) development to take place in FY25.
anchor Justification
Some individuals seek emergency shelter but experience challenges in congregate settings. A facility with noncongregate shelter beds for a smaller number of individuals and on-site supports would improve outcomes for these individuals and improve operations in the County's congregate shelters.
anchorFiscal Note
The source of funds is a federal grant available from the American Rescue Plan Act. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) must approve the proposed use of funds prior to expenditure.
anchorCoordination
Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and Department of General Services.
