FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Contract will result in annual expenditures of up to $2,299,356 as budgeted by the department and funded 100% by Encampment Resolution Funding Round 3 (ERF-3-R) Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Housing Consortium of the East Bay will provide motel rooms at Antioch Executive Inn for use in the operation of the Antioch ERF-3-R Program, a low-barrier, permanent housing-focused program located in Antioch, which serves eligible homeless adults who are transitioning from residing in an encampment to permanent housing. The Antioch Executive Inn Interim Housing Program will provide up to thirty-two (32) rooms with private bathrooms to support a minimum of thirty (30) unhoused residents identified under the City of Antioch ERF-3-R Program to exit to permanent housing. The Antioch Executive Inn Interim Housing Program will utilize an interim housing model serving a targeted population local to the area who are transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing. The goals of the Program include providing services to residents transitioning from a legacy encampment to interim and permanent housing, providing tailored support to participants, and preventing recidivism in returning to homelessness.
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. The Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division Contract Monitoring staff meet on a regular basis to ensure monitoring of performance measures set forth in the Contract are upheld. This Contractor was selected through a request for proposal (RFP) on June 6, 2025.
Under Contract #25-137, Contractor will provide the Antioch Executive Inn Interim Housing Program for adult-only households experiencing homelessness for the period July 1, 2025 through April 30, 2027.
