MT& &-I-? b FUNDING REQUEST FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY COLD WEATHER SHELTER VOUCHER PROGRAM CITY ATTY.@ IEPT. H/RED I JCITY MGR* RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 98 : ??q appropriating $2,480 from the Housing Trust Fund as a contribution to the San Diego County Cold Weather Shelter Voucher Program and authorizing the City Manager to forward the contribution to the County of San Diego. ITEM EXPLANATION: The County of San Diego is conducting a Cold Weather Voucher Program from November 1, 1998 through April 30, 1999. The program will provide emergency shelter for homeless families with children, disabled individuals, and the elderly. Catholic Charities will administer the program, which will provide vouchers entitling the holder to stay in specified hotels and motels located in various locations throughout the County. About a dozen other nonprofit organizations selected for their experience in providing homeless services in specific areas of the County will be assisting Catholic Charities in issuing the vouchers. The County conducted a similar program last year and the City Council agreed to the County’s request at that time to contribute $2,480 for the program based on the City’s percentage of the total Community Development Block Grant funds coming into the region. The County’s Chief Administrative Officer is requesting that the City Council appropriate that amount again as a contribution for this year’s program. Staff recommends that the City Council appropriate $2,480 from the Housing Trust Fund as a contribution to the Cold Weather Voucher Program. Money from the Trust Fund is to be used to provide affordable housing or other programs consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan. The Voucher Program is consistent with Objective 3.3 of the Housing Element regarding the provision of shelter and assistance to the homeless. FISCAL IMPACT: A total undesignated balance of approximately $3,902,000 currently exists in the Housing Trust Fund. The recommended appropriation of $2,480 will not substantially impact this fund balance. EXHIBITS: 1. Resolution No. 9% -379 2.

Patchett, City Manager City of Carlsbad 1200 Carlsbad Village Dr. Carlsbad, California 92008 Dear Mr. Patchett: On October 20,1998, the Board of Supervisors approved, for a second year, a Cold Weather Shelter Voucher Program for families with children, the disabled and the elderly for the 1998-99 season. This program provides additional homeless shelter capacity throughout the region in hotel/motel rooms on an emergency basis. With this action, the Board allocated $176,647 to the voucher program. In approving this program, the Board authorized me to again request contributions from all Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement cities to increase the size and scope of the program through a regional partnership. Based on an estimated $300,000 total program cost and subtracting the County contribution, we calculated those shares on the basis of each city’s block grant percentage of the total of all CDBG dollars coming to the region (1997-98) and applied the resulting percentages to an additional $150,000. Your city’s share, based on that formula, is listed under Attachment A of the enclosed October 20 report to the Board of Supervisors. As in the past year, Catholic Charities will administer the program. In addition, about a dozen local nonprofits specifically selected for their familiarity with local regions of the County will be partners in issuing vouchers. The enclosed report (Attachment B) on last year’s program by Catholic Charities includes the names of those nonprofits, hotels/motels used and other statistical information. In addition to this year’s cold weather shelter program, this week the Board of Supervisors also approved a supplemental program to assist homeless families with their immediate needs and link them with activities that will lead to long term stabilization and self-sufficiency. Within 24 hours of admission to shelter assistance, families will be put in touch with their County case manager for the development of a plan to address barriers such as substance abuse, domestic violence, mental illness, and lack of child care and transportation. 3 This year the County’s Health and Human Services Agency is also prepared to provide various services for all families in the regional shelter program including: 1) physical health and immunization assessments/referralsfor medical care; 2) mental health assessments and referrals for counseling and treatment; 3) Child Protective Services risk assessments; and 4) training for shelter staff on assessing need for services. The Board of Supervisors believes that the long-term solution to meeting emergency shelter needs is a coordinated approach and shared financial participation. We hope your City Council will join with us in addressing this pressing regional problem. We remain interested in your feedback. Frank Landerville (619) 694-4818 in the Department of Housing and Community Development is available to respond to your questions and comments. Sincerely, LAWRENCE B.
