Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Yolo County response to the COVID-19 pandemic includes providing locations for individuals living homeless to shelter in place, specifically in non-congregate settings. Emergency funding sources which support the motels and transportation services require that the County provide behavioral and other social services to individuals at these locations. Health & Human Services Agency is addressing this requirement by contracting with providers to fulfill unique roles with all individuals in the motels: Homeless Services Lead, Case Manager, Runner, and Caller.
The first amendment added funding in the amount of $30,000, which increased the monthly amounts for September and October 2021 by $15,000 for new monthly amounts of $25,000. The first amendment also included monthly optional extensions through December 2021.
The second amendment added another 6 monthly optional extension through June 2022 in an amount not to exceed $25,000 per month. While, the third amendment shifted unspent funding from December 2021 to January 2021 in order to pay claims.
The fourth amendment extended the term of the Agreement through July 31, 2022, and added five additional monthly optional extensions through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $25,000 per month.
HHSA requests the approval of this fifth amendment which is adding three additional monthly optional extensions through March 2023 in an amount up to $25,000 per month. Approval of this amendment will allow Empower Yolo to continue providing these vital services to our vulnerable population and provide flexibility for a smooth and timely transition as remaining Project Room Key hotel sites transition clients to alternative housing locations.
