STATEMENT OF WORK
CITY OF BURBANK
LOCAL SOLUTIONS FUND
I. Ov
erview
Homelessness is a regional crisis. As such, one of the top priorities of the Chief Executive Office’s Homeless Initiative (CEO-HI) is to continue strengthening the collaboration between the County and diverse stakeholders, including the 88 cities in Los Angeles County (County). Since cities have jurisdiction over planning/land use activities and have the insight to support lo cally specific solutions, cities play a unique role in our countywide efforts to prevent and combat homelessness.
T
he City of Burbank (City) has a population of 104,966 residents and is in the County Service Planning Area (SPA) 2. City is a member of the San Fernando Valley Councils of Government (SFVCOG). The SFVCOG is a joint powers authority created by the member cities of Burbank, Glendale, San Fernando, and Santa Clarita (located in Supervisorial District 5).
I
n aiming to increase participation of cities in County’s New Framework to End Homelessness , the emphasis of the strategies is on creating opportunities for co- investment that lead to an increase in cities’ ability to respond at a local level to community members’ greatest conc erns in alignment with the New Framework, while leveraging cities’ unique capabilities to increase access to housing.
I
nformation on the required deliverables for the Local Solutions Funds. Cities shall use Local Solutions Funds (LSF) to implement activities that align with the CEO -HI’s New Framework to End Homelessness. The New Framework to End Homelessness outlines the following strategies for Cities and COGs.
New Framework to End Homelessness Strategies
1 Coordinate Regional and Local Annual Planning
2 Prevent Infuse Problem Solving into Local Services
3 Connect Outreach and Navigation Linked to Local Rehousing Services 4 House
Co-Investment in Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and Interim Housing Locally Sited Time Limited Subsidies
5 Stabilize Local Eviction and Prevention Prioritized and Linked to Formerly Homeless Residents
20 ATTACHMENT 1 - 20
II. Objective
T
he City will use this funding to manage the tasks described below, including the implementation of the City’s Homelessness Plan activities that align with the New Framework to End Homelessness.
III. T
asks
T
he City has made strides in creating cohesive action-oriented programs with limited funding and staffing. City developed a new five-year (Fiscal Years 2022-23 through 2027-28) Homeless Plan that expands on many of the strategies contained in the prior (Fiscal Years 2018-2021) Homeless Strategies.
U
nder the new Homeless Plan, the City will continue to collaborate with partners that support our efforts along with advancing new strategic actions and goals during the planning period. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 LSF will support the City’s homelessness efforts in three key areas as listed below:
• Flexible Funds
• Outreach & Engagement
• Interim Housing
Task 1: Local Homeless Services and Housing Programs
Task 1A: Critical Point and Intervention Program (Flexible Funds) Task 1A Description: The City’s Critical Point and Intervention (CPI) Program will be operated by the City in partnership with homeless service agencies that are trained in problem-solving. CPI is an attempt to offer problem -solving assistance to individuals or households (ne wly, existing, or returning to the Coordinated Entry System) experiencing a housing crisis (a critical point). The problem-solving piece will provide housing supports such as, short-term housing intervention that seeks to assist households in maintaining their current housing, identifying an immediate and safe housing alternative within their social network, or seeking programs in the community (shelter, transitional housing, Rapid Rehousing, Permanent Supportive Housing, etc.). CPI includes one-time or limited financial assistance services through Flexible Funds. In certain instances, the Los Angeles Housing Services Authority Problem-Solving Assistance Funds can be leveraged. Assistance may include, but not be limited to, transportation, public storage, family reunification, emergency housing, move-in and utility deposit, landlord incentives, car repair and other auto related expenses, minor medical fees/supplies, etc. The City will maintain records to track the utilization of funds by category.

Task 1B: Homeless Services Liaison(s) - 2 FTE
Task 1B Description: The Homeless Services Liaison (HSL) is a valuable Burbank community resource that originated as a pilot program but has expanded over time. The City has two HSLs that provide highly effective outreach with light touch case management. The HSL program expansion will include two new tiers. The first tier is expanding the HSL outreach and light touch case management to include weekends and evening hours. One portion of the LSF funds would be used to cover this cost. The second tier is expanding the HSL to provide wrap-around case management with special emphasis on working with the chronically unhoused with mental health needs. LSF funds would be used to fund this portion of the cost. By expanding the HSL roles, it will create an important resource and strengthen the City's partnerships with:
• Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) • HOME Team or psychiatric care through the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (DMH)
HSLs will effectively connect people experiencing homelessness to a br oad range of services, including the provision of harm reduction supplies and services through DHS and/or substance use treatment and support through DHS or North-East Valley Health Corporation’s MAT programs. The HSLs will enroll people experiencing homel
essness into bridge housing programs or Permanent
Supportive Housing. The HSLs will also coordinate with service providers, City Departments, and governmental agencies on encampments resolutions in the public right of way, and/or County/railroad/Caltrans properties. Coordination of services with cross-sector agencies is vital, and the HSL can take the lead for Burbank.

Task 1C: Crisis Housing for Families Experiencing Homelessness Task 1C Description: Crisis Housing for families experiencing homelessness will aid unsheltered families with children by providing up to 30 motel nights. In partnership with a service provider, the proposed program will accept referrals of unhoused families with children from local agencies that include, but are not limited to, the Burbank Unified School District, private educational/health institutions, faith- based organizations, nonprofit agencies, homeless outreach, first responders, and City Departments. Currently in our community, unhoused families with children may contact the 2- 1-1 hotline for motel nights but those stays are available for households throughout greater Los Angeles and are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, the SPA 2 Family Solutions Center offers motel nights but in recent months have led to establishing a waiting list of unhoused families due to the lack of financial resources. Fu rthermore, the program will be in the Homeless Management Information System , which provides access t o data and tracking for other service providers. A family in crisis will be initially engaged by the Street Outreach Coordinator (a portion of the salary funded by LSF). Families will be enrolled into the Crisis Housing if the household meets the program criteria. A family’s unhoused situation is treated as a priority ; therefore, a family does not have to call 2-1-1 or the SPA 2 Family Solutions Center in order to qualify. By operating our own Crisis Housing with local motels, families experiencing housing instability may remain in Burbank or neighboring community with the least disruption to a family’s daily activities, such as school, work, childcare, transportation, etc. Case Managers can be within an arm’s length to host daily counseling sessions.
The service provider of the program would designate one full -time case manager to assist families in finding employment, financial assistance, and housing. The provider would also be responsible for essential services like access to meals, reliable transportation, hygiene kits, and counseling to ensure the family receives wraparound services needed to live a healthy lifestyle while working towards economic empowerment. By part icipating in crisis housing, families will set goals and benchmarks that will aid the family to transition into rapid rehousing, transitional housing, permanent housing, or solving their own homeless crisis. The Crisis Housing program will enroll 100% of t he families in the Coordinated Entry System.

Co-Investment Template: Cities and COGs
SAMPLE
The County’s New Framework to End Homelessness calls for Cities and Council of Governments (COGs) to co-invest in key strategies that accelerate and amplify impact locally and regionally to develop more permanent housing and provide pathways to housing and services for decommissioning encampments and meeting the needs of people experiencing homelessness.
Please complete the following two questions to provide more information on how your City/COG is co-investing to address homelessness and housing. Please include all relevant programs, adding additional cells to the tables if necessary. The goal of this document is to better understand the full set of investments and programs made by your City/COG outside of Local Solutions Funds (LSF). This document will help to identify the true costs associated with addressing homelessness with our shared jurisdictions and gaps in services that could be addressed through future funding opportunities.
Please send the completed forms to [email protected], copying Onnie Williams III, [email protected].
Example:
1) For programs funded by the Local Solution Fund (LSF), which are your City/COG co- investing in? Co-investment could be in the form of funding, staffing, resources, land, local legislation, etc. Please list the specific Task from the LSF Statement of Work (SOW) and describe the co-investment below.
Task: 2C Landlord Engagement and Assistance Program (Example) Co-investment Description: To support the Landlord Engagement and Assistance Program, the City is providing $100,000 in funding to support 2 additional FTEs. This builds upon the 2 FTEs funded under the LSF, totaling 4 FTEs. These FTEs are responsible for housing location and unit acquisition. Additionally, the City is providing office and meeting space to support landlord engagement and assistance program activities. (Example) Budgeted Costs to Supplement LSF (If applicable): $100,000 (Example) Funding Source of Co-investment (If applicable): General Funds (Example) 33 ATTACHMENT 1 - 33
