Reason for Recommended Action/Background

On or about June 1, 2020 the California Department of Housing and Community Development released a Notice of funding Availability (NOFA) for the Federal Emergency Solutions Grant Program Coronavirus (ESG-CV). The funding was allocated to the Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition (HPAC) for the purpose of preventing, preparing for, and responding to coronavirus. On or about June 24, 2020, HPAC voted to make Yolo County the administrative entity for the ESG-CV funds. On or about December 22, 2020, the County entered into State Agreement No. 20-ESGCV1-0035 (“State Contract”) with the Department of Housing and Community Development (“Department”), via the Department’s administration of the Federal CARES Act Emergency Solutions Grants (“ESG-CV”) Program, pursuant to the provisions of the 2020 Federally enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, Title XII, Homeless Assistance Grants Section (“CARES Act”) and any waivers including the HUD Mega-Waiver dated April 1, 2020, and were not superseded by the CARES Act, pursuant to the provisions of 42 USC 11371; 42 USC 11378; 24 CFR Part 576;  all as shall be amended from time to time.

On or about June 9, 2021, the Department of Housing and Community Development amended the State Contract to add ESG-CV Round 2 funding.

On July 27, 2021, an agreement with Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter dba Heart of Davis was executed for the provision of Rapid Rehousing as a subrecipient of the Emergency Solutions Grant-Coronavirus. 

On February 1, 2022, Heart of Davis could no longer provide the services within the scope of the contract, and services were then provided by TLCS, Inc. dba Hope Cooperative.
 
Approval of this Agreement will allow TLCS, Inc. dba Hope Cooperative to provide continuity of service for up to 39 adults receiving rapid rehousing services from the Bridge Program while waiting for housing vouchers and project-based housing.
 
Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:

Competitive Bid Process/Vendor Performance

ESG CV Round 2 funding was issued through a local selection process held by non-conflicted members of HPAC that reviewed and scored each proposal, made a recommendation to the HPAC Board, and as a result of the HPAC Board vote a proposal submitted by Heart of Davis was selected for these services. When Heart of Davis could no longer provide the services within the scope of the contract, HPAC voted to transfer unspent ESG-CV funding to TLCS.
