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Grants Section (“CARES Act”) and any waivers including the HUD Mega-Waiver dated April 1, 2020,  and where not superseded by the CARES Act, pursuant to the provisions of 42 USC 11371; 42 USC 11378; 24 CFR Part 576;  all as shall be amended from time to time.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 Department of Housing and Community Development amended the State Contract to add ESG-CV Round 2 funding.
 
Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter dba Heart of Davis has been providing services at the Davis Emergency Shelter. The program extension for non-congregate shelter mitigates the spread of coronavirus among seniors and those with medical issues who are homeless and at high risk for poor outcomes if they contract coronavirus. The apartment shelter program provides a separate individualized space where the virus is much less likely to spread. Medical, behavioral health, and case management services will be provided in order to focus on the health and safety of the sheltered participants.   
 
The original ESG-CV1 budget  totaling $180,000 for Emergency Shelter services as described above was not fully spent, and Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter dba Heart of Davis requested to re-purpose $47,000 to the Rapid Rehousing category in order to support the Bridge Program, which allows individuals to maintain non-shelter housing while waiting for housing vouchers and project-based housing. The Bridge Program includes case management services for program participants, as well as a landlord incentive program to help anyone with a housing voucher find housing in Davis. The request to re-purpose funds was approved by the Yolo County Homeless and Poverty Action Coalition on December 15, 2021.
 
The Performance Measures were included in the Original Agreement and are not being changed by this Amendment.
