Accepting a State Grant to Provide Serv ices to Assist Individuals and Households Experiencing Homelessness in the City of Carlsbad Districts: All
Recommended Actions
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a grant agreement and related program documents with the California Interagency Council on Homelessness and authorizing the Deputy City Manager, Administrative Services, to appropriate an additional $2,358,408.94 to the State Grant Special Revenue Fund’s fiscal year 2023-24 operating budget.
2. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute professional services agreements with Interfaith Community Services, Community Resource Center, Southern California Care Community and Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego to provide services identified in the approved Encampment Resolution Grant to assist individuals and households experiencing homelessness in the City of Carlsbad, and authorizing a professional services procurement exemption.
Executive Summary
The City of Carlsbad has been approved to receive $2.3 million in state funding to be used to help people living in encampments in Carlsbad’s Downtown Village area move out of homelessness.
The City Council is being asked to authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement required to accept this Encampment Resolution Funding Program grant, as well as agreements with primarily existing homeless services providers to use almost $2 million of this state funding to assist people experiencing homelessness in the Downtown Village Area and move them to stable housing. These providers are Interfaith Community Services, Community Resource Center, Southern California Care Community and Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego. The remainder of the grant funds will be used for city staff and administration costs.

Item #14 Page 1 of 95
To meet the deadline to start services provided under the grant agreement, the City Manager must execute professional services agreements with these providers soon after the grant agreement is fully executed.
The proposed professional services agreements require the City Council’s approval under Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.040 because the contract amounts exceed $100,000 per agreement year. Because of the grant timing requirements and unique nature of these services, as detailed below, staff are recommending the City Council also approve an exemption to the city’s procurement requirements.
A resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the grant agreement and corresponding grant documents on the city’s behalf is Exhibit 1. Exhibit 2 is a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the professional services agreements and approve the professional services procurement exemption required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.110(N).
Explanation & Analysis
Background
The City Council approved a new five-year strategic plan in October 2022 that reaffirmed its commitment to reducing homelessness and its impacts on the community. In alignment with this overall strategic plan, the City Council approved the updated Homelessness Action Plan on Feb. 7, 2023. This plan outlines programs and initiatives that the city plans to carry out over the next five years, including pursuing external funding sources to expand outreach, case management and rapid rehousing services that help reduce homelessness. The plan identified shelter and housing and outreach and access to services as two of its three areas of focus.
The City Council-approved plan also identified the following actions that will be supported with these grant funds:
• Initiative 1.1(a) Maintain staff dedicated to homeless services and homeless outreach. • Initiative 1.1 (c) Identify one-time and ongoing funding sources. • Initiative 1.2 (a) Increase the available case management for people experiencing homelessness and streamline internal referrals to case management. • Initiative 1.2 (b) Maintain rapid re-housing options to improve wait time to more permanent housing.
• Initiative 1.2 (d) Develop and maintain robust and impactful outreach to persistently identify, engage and assess both the immediate needs and long-term housing needs of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness.
• Initiative 1.2 (e) Identify opportunities to add peer support components to programs and multi-disciplinary teams.
• Initiative 1.2 (h) Maintain a limited-stay motel voucher program as a resource to bridge housing.
• Initiative 1.2 (j) Investigate barriers to people accessing shelter or permanent housing and create programs as appropriate to alleviate found barriers. • Initiative 2.1 (e) Evaluate the development of a regional street medicine program in the city or North Coastal area.
• Initiative 2.2 (d) Continue to enhance housing-focused services at La Posada through added staff capacity, technical assistance and training.

• Initiative 2.2 (h) Expand access to non-emergency healthcare through more accessible care, including at La Posada, and by creating more connections to referral pathways.
Encampment Resolution Funding grant
The California Interagency Council on Homelessness established the Encampment Resolution Funding Program grant to help local jurisdictions ensure the wellness and safety of people experiencing homelessness in encampments.
The city submitted a proposal for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program in February 2023, requesting $2,358,408.94 in grant funding to support services for up to three years, and, on June 14, 2023, was notified it had been awarded the full amount.
What the grant will pay for
The city’s proposal was focused on the Downtown Village Area with an emphasis on the areas around Pine Park, Holiday Park, City Hall and the Georgina Cole Library. These locations were selected largely due to the history of community complaints regarding people experiencing homelessness in this area, which have cited concerns about substance abuse, cleanliness and trash issues, and people with apparent mental health symptoms being near playgrounds, parks and youth and senior activities. City staff also narrowed down the target areas to put the city’s proposal in a competitive range, based on grant program guidelines and scoring criteria.
This focus is intended to make a significant impact within the community by helping people experiencing homelessness move to permanent housing destinations, reducing the community impacts of homelessness in these areas and addressing public concerns. This will help advance the City Council-approved Homelessness Action Plan.
The following table shows the proposed programs and funding identified in the proposal:
Agency Services 3-Year Amount
City of Carlsbad Coordinate all grant activities and
manage the subcontracts $417,480
City of Carlsbad Provide additional limited-term motel
vouchers $97,500
Interfaith Community
Services Provide outreach and case management $748,335 Community Resource Center Provide rapid re-housing and housing stability assistance $404,932
Southern California Care
Community
Provide street-based medicine and
healthcare coordination $168,101
Catholic Charities Provide low-barrier shelter at La Posada de Guadalupe1 $522,060
Total $2,358,408
1 The state defines a low-barrier shelter as one that is temporary with the services needed to help homeless individuals and families quickly obtain permanent housing. These shelters follow the best practices to reduce barriers to entry, such as allowing partners, pets, storage of personal items and privacy.

Item #14 Page 3 of 95
The grant will also provide $305,175 in funding for Housing & Homeless Services Department staff salaries and benefits as well as $112,305 for the city’s grant administration costs. This will save the city’s General Fund $417,480 over the three years covered by the grant.
Grant requirements
To accept the grant funding, the city must execute a grant agreement and related program documents with the California Interagency Council on Homelessness within 30 days of receiving the grant award letter.
Funding for the expanded services was not included in the Homelessness Action Plan Funding Plan or the city’s FY 2023-24 Operating Budget because staff was only notified of the grant award on June 14, 2023. To receive the grant revenue and meet grant requirements, the City Council will need to amend the FY 2023-24 budget to appropriate the expenses.
Once the California Interagency Council on Homelessness receives the city’s executed grant agreement and related documents, they will fully execute the documents and process them for award disbursement. The city will receive all the awarded funds in advance and must abide by the following deadlines:
• 50% of funds must be expended (paid to subgrantees) by June 30, 2024 • 100% of funds must be obligated by June 30, 2024
• 100% of funds must be expended (paid to subgrantees) by June 30, 2026 To comply with these deadlines, the proposed professional services agreements with the city’s subcontractors – the non-profit organizations that help the city in its efforts to reduce homelessness – will commence as soon as practicable after the grant agreement is fully executed and will continue until June 30, 2026.
The professional services agreements will provide 60% of the contractors’ funding amount upon contract execution, with the remaining funds to be provided no later than June 30, 2026.
To ensure compliance with the grant requirements, the contractors will submit documentation of expenditures to the city for review and approval on a monthly basis.
Procurement exemption
The California Interagency Council on Homelessness requires that performance under this grant program, that is, the services to be provided, start no later than 30 days after all approvals have been obtained and the grant agreement is fully executed, or on the date set by the interagency council and the city. This means that the city’s subcontractor agreements must also be executed and that the services to homeless persons must commence within this limited timeframe. Failure to do so could result in termination of the grant agreement.
This grant proposal also includes partnerships and subcontracts with Interfaith Community Services, Community Resource Center, Southern California Care Community and Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego. All these service providers except Southern California Care Community have contracted with the city for the same or similar services, have been responsive to previous homelessness services requests for proposals and/or have been long- term, successful partners with the city addressing homelessness. Southern California Care Community is the only medical services organization providing free medical care for people experiencing homelessness in Carlsbad.
July 11, 2023
Item #14 Page 4 of 95
Because of these limiting factors, and the unique nature of the specialized services involved, staff have concluded that it’s impractical to timely complete a request for proposals process to identify subcontractors for the Encampment Resolution Fund Program. It is in the best interest of the city to contract with the four above-named providers to provide these grant-funded services.
Accordingly, the proposed resolution in Exhibit 1 requests a professional services procurement exemption under Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.110(N), for “Situations where solicitations of bids or proposals for good, services and/or professional services would be, in the discretion of the awarding authority, impractical, unavailing, impossible, or not in the best interests of the city.”
The city’s Purchasing Officer reviewed the exemption request, agreed that the request complies with the reasons identified in Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.110(N) and is recommending that the City Council approve the professional services procurement exemption.
A memorandum detailing this exemption request is provided as Exhibit 3.
Fiscal An alysis
The full grant amount of $2,358,408.94 will need to be appropriated in the city’s operating budget by City Council resolution (Exhibit 1). The grant provides funding for some staff costs related to program delivery and grant administration. The city will have a General Fund savings of $417,480.19 over the next three fiscal years because the grant includes funding for Housing & Homeless Services Department staff salaries and administrative costs.
Next Steps
The City Manager will execute a required grant agreement and related program documents with the California Interagency Council on Homelessness and professional services agreements with the organizations providing the grant services. Staff will manage the grant program and oversee subcontractors and provide updates to the City Council during the annual and semi- annual homelessness update reports.
Environmental E valuation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under Public Resources Code Section 21065. It has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
