RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the
attached amendment to the 2008-2009 Emergency Shelter Grant agreement
with Mercy House Transitional Living Centers, Inc. to increase the grant
amount by $7,245, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City
Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana undertakes a yearly process of allocating
Emergency Shelter Grant Funds (ESG), which are received from the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Part of this process
involves requesting proposals from non-profit organizations. The City
enters into agreements with these non-profits to provide essential
services to the homeless and short-term homeless prevention assistance
on behalf of the City.
On April 7, 2008, the City Council awarded ESG funds for Fiscal Year
2008-2009 to 13 organizations for a total of $297,725. An additional
$7,245 was allotted for the City's administration costs of the program,
thereby allocating the entire entitlement from HUD for 2008-2009.
One proposal submitted by Mercy House Transitional Living Centers, Inc.
was to operate the Cold Weather Armory Program. The Council approved a
$13,000 grant allocation for this program. Staff is recommending that
the $7,245 allocated for the City's administration costs be reallocated
to the Cold Weather Armory program for a total grant of $20,245. The
City will be using unexpended ESG administration funds from prior years
to provide for the staff necessary to administer the program
requirements during 2008-2009.
