1. / SUBJECT: / HOMELESS PROGRAMS: COORDINATED RESPONSE TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM 2004 NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY (DISTRICT: ALL)OVERVIEW:
This action will authorize the Department of Housing and Community Development to submit an application (in partnership with participating cities and non-profit agencies) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund homeless services in San Diego County. This assistance, awarded annually on a competitive basis, fills gaps in the “continuum of care” system that assists homeless persons to move to self-sufficiency and permanent housing. The requested action will also adopt a resolution to develop a 10-year plan (in collaboration with the City of San Diego) to end chronic homelessness in San Diego County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funding source is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Program funding. If approved, this request could result in up to $3.9 million in costs and offsetting revenue over a three-year period. These actions will require the addition of no staff years and has no impact on the County’s General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
1. Authorize the Director of Housing and Community Development to submit, on behalf of a county consortium of agencies, a Supportive Housing Program application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund homeless services.
2. Authorize the Director of Housing and Community Development, in consultation with County Counsel, to negotiate and execute any agreements or documents necessary to implement proposals that may be funded.
- Authorize the publication of any required “Notices to the Public of Request for the Release of Funds” for funded proposals; authorize the Director of Housing and Community Development to execute such Requests for Release of Funds following environmental processing.
- Adopt a Resolution for the development of a 10-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, as recommended by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in collaboration with the City of San Diego.
ACTION:
ON MOTION of Supervisor Roberts, seconded by Supervisor Slater-Price, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent, adopting Resolution No. 04-117, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 10 YEAR PLAN TO END CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS.AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Roberts, Horn
2. / SUBJECT: / MADDY FUND REIMBURSEMENT FOR HOSPITALS - APPROPRIATION OF UNANTICIPATED REVENUE (DISTRICT: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
Senate Bill 12, known as the Maddy Fund, sets aside a portion of motor vehicle violation and traffic school fees to be paid to hospitals for unreimbursed emergency medical care costs. These fees are collected through the courts and deposited in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Trust Fund. For FY 2003-2004, the Health and Human Services Agency, Emergency Medical Services Division, appropriated $789,014 for the hospitals. However, a recent law required changes to the manner of payment resulting in an increase amounting to $442,567 to be paid to the hospitals. For this reason, the Agency’s operational plan did not reflect the accurate amount to be paid to the hospitals from the EMS Trust Fund in FY 2003-2004 and FY 2004-2005. This request establishes current year and FY 2004-2005 appropriations in the Health and Human Services Agency in the amount of $442,567 each year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for this request are not included in the Health and Human Services Agency’s FY 2003-2004 and FY 2004-2005 Operational Plans. If approved, this action will result in an increase in costs and revenues in FY 2003-2004 and FY 2004-2005 of $442,567 each year. The funding source is the Emergency Medical Services Trust Fund 512501. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
Establish appropriations in the amount of $442,567 in the Health and Human Services Agency for the Maddy Fund hospital service account based on unanticipated revenue from the Emergency Medical Services Trust Fund 512501. (4 VOTES)
ACTION:
ON MOTION of Supervisor Roberts, seconded by Supervisor Slater-Price, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent.AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater-Price, Roberts, Horn
3. / SUBJECT: / 2004-07 REFUGEE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES PLAN (DISTRICT: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
The County of San Diego is a region impacted by the resettlement of refugees making it eligible to receive an allocation of Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement revenue. In order to receive the revenue, the County must submit a Refugee Employment Services Plan developed in accordance with federal and State requirements and with participation by the community. The Board of Supervisors approved the current 2001-04 Refugee Employment Services Plan on April 3, 2001 (6).

The purpose of the federal refugee funding is to assist newly arrived refugees to obtain employment and become self-sufficient. The new Refugee Employment Services Plan incorporates a service integration strategy that improves refugees’ access to services and speeds their transition to self-sufficiency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, this request will result in no change in Fiscal Year 2003-04 costs and revenue, and will result in FY 2004-05 & FY 2005-06 cost and revenue of $1,344,141. The funding source is the Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement. There will be no change in net General Fund cost, and no additional staff years.
RECOMMENDATION:
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
1. Adopt a resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO RELATING TO REFUGEE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES PLAN FISCAL YEAR 2004-05 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2006-07” approving a three year local plan, authorizing its submittal to the Child Care and Refugee Programs Branch, California Department of Social Services and authorizing submittal of revisions to the plan by the Director of the Health and Human Services Agency, or designee, when required by changes in funding amounts and/or services.
2. In accordance with Board Policy A-87 authorize the Director, Purchasing and Contracting to enter into negotiations with the multiple contractors selected through a State procurement process for elderly refugee access services and subject to successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award multiple contracts to the selected contractors and to amend the contracts as needed to reflect changes to services and funding subject to the approval of the Director of Health and Human Services Agency.

5. / SUBJECT: / COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT OF SERVICES TO IMPLEMENT UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND LEGACY CORPS / AGING & INDEPENDENCE SERVICES INTERGENERATIONAL PARTNERSHIP FOR HEALTH AND INDEPENDENT LIVING (DISTRICT: ALL)
OVERVIEW:
The Health and Human Services Agency, Aging & Independence Services administers programs that benefit senior and disabled citizens. Intergenerational programs that link senior citizens with youth to provide mentorship and companionship are a key component of these services.
In February 2004, the Board accepted grant funding for two years from the University of Maryland Center on Aging to establish sustained volunteer service capabilities for low to moderate income seniors, using an intergenerational approach that would expand community capacity to meet health and independent living needs. In addition to the $175,000 grant from the University of Maryland, funding for this program will also be available from an AmeriCorps grant from the University of Maryland, and federal revenue. A portion of the available funding is ongoing, and prospects are good for future funding from AmeriCorps and other sources to sustain the program after the University of Maryland grant ends.
Aging & Independence Services has completed development of the program design, and is ready to move forward with program implementation. The program would team senior mentors with foster care youth to provide respite care to caregivers. Board authorization is requested to competitively procure services to implement the new intergenerational program. The goal is to have teams established and respite care services provided throughout the county.
