This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing rapid rehousing and homeless prevention services to adults over 60 years of age and adults with disabilities referred by EHSD to the Health Housing and Homeless Services Division (H3) who are enrolled in EHSD’s APS Bureau’s Home Safe Program and who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness. These services include case management which will assist participants with food assistance, substance use treatment, education and training, employment and benefits assistance, health care, mental health counseling, childcare, and credit repair. Rapid rehousing services will include providing financial assistance for security deposits, utility deposits/payments, moving costs, hotel/motel vouchers, paid shelter costs, housing application and credit/background check fees, partial, tiered or full rental subsidies.
This Contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: California Government Code § 26227 and 31000. This Contract was approved by Health Services Personnel to ensure there is no conflict with labor relations.

Approval of Contract #25-111-3 will allow the Contractor to continue providing rapid rehousing and homeless prevention services to adults over 60 years of age and adults with disabilities through June 30, 2027.
