BACKGROUND:
Permanent Connections Supportive Housing provides housing sites for homeless, transition-age youth, between the ages of eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24), with disabilities. Ten (10) units are set aside for youth, who are disabled by mental illness, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, or dual/multiple diagnoses. The program is designed to provide on-going supportive services with an emphasis on families maintaining their permanent, safe, and affordable housing. County has been receiving grant funds for Permanent Connections since 2008.
On November 7, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #28-798-13 to receive funds in an amount not to exceed $274,606 for the County’s Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program for the period from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
Approval of Grant Agreement #28-798-14 will allow the County to continue to perform all responsibilities in relation to receipt of the funding for the Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program through June 30, 2025. This Grant is late due to County receiving the agreement in July, 2024 from HUD.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Grant Agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding to support the Permanent Connections Supportive Housing Program.
