Executive Summary:
This item corrects and clarifies the positions able at the Commission to authorize applications and related material for the No Place Like Home program with California’s Housing and Community Development Department (HCD).
Discussion:
On July 1, 2016, Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation enacting the No Place Like Home (NPLH) program to dedicate $2 billion in bond proceeds statewide for the development of permanent supportive housing for persons who need mental health services and are experiencing homelessness, chronic homelessness, or are at-risk of chronic homelessness.
Through the first round of No Place Like Home Competitive Funding, more than $22 million has been awarded to two projects in Sonoma County. With this investment, Burbank Housing and DanCo Communities were approved for funding that will provide a combined 114 permanent supportive housing units for No Place Like Home eligible tenants.
A detailed staff report about the NPLH program went to your Board on August 6, 2019, with a follow-up item on December 10, 2019.
The HCD has indicated to one local housing provider, Burbank Housing, that the County’s resolution #19-0550 (December 10, 2019, Item #3) authorizing participation in NPLH must be corrected. Accordingly, this item makes that correction by authorizing the Interim Executive Director or the Executive Director of the Commission, or their designee, to execute and administer all documents related to the NPLH program in Sonoma County. The previous resolution had incorrectly named individuals versus positions.
Strategic Plan:
This item directly supports the County’s Five-year Strategic Plan and is aligned with the following pillar, goal, and objective.
Pillar: Healthy and Safe Communities
Goal: Goal 3: In collaboration with cities, increase affordable housing development near public transportation and easy access to services.
