Grant Agreement with Burbank Housing Development Corporation for Permanent Supportive Housing Services
LABEL
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with Burbank Housing Development Corporation for American Rescue Plan Act funding in an amount not to exceed $348,000 to fund case management and other costs related to the operation of permanent supportive housing services.
Body
DISCUSSION:
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) into law. The $1.9 trillion Fiscal Recovery Funds package was intended to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, including public health and economic impacts. Under ARPA, the City of Napa received a total of $15.12 million.
The City Council has adopted an expenditure plan for the ARPA Funds. As part of this expenditure plan, $1,500,000 in funds were set aside for permanent supportive housing and tenancy care needs. Tenancy Care is case management that is provided as a client exits homelessness into transitional housing or permanent supportive housing.
The City of Napa previously co-applied for and received Project Homekey funding to convert the Wine Valley Lodge Motel to Valley Lodge Apartments. The project includes 54 units of permanent supportive housing for clients exiting homelessness.
These ARPA funds will support the cost of case management, security and utilities onsite that helps the project build a healthier operating and service reserve to ensure that services are not disrupted and clients living at the site receive the best care possible as they transition from being in the homeless services system to permanent housing.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
There is no impact to the General Fund. Funds are coming from the American Rescue Plan Act previously allocated for this purpose by the City Council.
CEQA:
The City Manager has determined that the Recommended Action described in this Agenda Report is not subject to CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c).
