Reason for Recommended Action/Background

On or about December 17, 2019, the County entered into Agreement No 19-274 with Yolo County Housing (YCH) for the provision of housing support to CalWORKs referred families experiencing homelessness. Under Agreement No 19-274, YCH entered into a master lease agreement with Portale Properties, LLC for 12 units in the Merkley Apartment complex for availability to CalWORKs homeless families as referred by the Yolo County CalWORKs program and provided property management support for those families. Agreement No 19-274 with YCH will expire on September 30, 2024.

The Yolo County CalWORKs program is requesting approval of this renewal agreement with YCH so the provision of these crucial services may continue, with some changes to the division of responsibilities between YCH and the Yolo County CalWORKs program. Under this new agreement, YCH will continue providing full scope property management services; ongoing site maintenance; and tenant relations. The Yolo County CalWORKs program will continue providing case management services for CalWORKs homeless families that reside in the Merkley apartment complex; providing financial support services by direct payments to YCH that include:
  • Rent payments
  • Utilities & Pest control
  • Regular Materials/Supplies
  • Maintenance- ½ FT staff
  • Emergency Maintenance-1 hour per week 24/7 on-call
  • Property Management – ¼ time staff
  • Services Costs for cameras
  • Administration costs
