Report in Brief
The Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No. 2733) is part of a group of sewer maintenance projects approved in June 2024 as part of the Capital Budget. The locations of this project include the Iron Horse Trail by Solano Drive and Stanwell Drive, Matheson Road, Armand Drive, Bon Homme Way, Montgomery Avenue, and Regency Drive in the City of Clayton (Attachment 1).
The project aims to perform rehabilitation or repairs to the existing sewer system based upon recommendations from the Sewer Master Plan adopted in March 2023.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.b
September 9, 2025
A Task Order with Freyer & Laureta is required in order to proceed with the design of the project. Project design is anticipated to start in September and be completed in spring 2026, with construction anticipated to begin in summer 2026.
Recommended Action
Approve Task Order #1 with Freyer & Laureta in the not-to-exceed amount of $280,800 to provide civil engineering design services for Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No. 2733); authorize the City Manager to execute the task order, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney (Sewer Enterprise Funds); and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.
Background
On June 25, 2024, Council approved the Two-Year Capital Budget and Five-Year Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for FY 2025-2029, which included funding for Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No. 2733). This is one of four sewer maintenance projects that were included in the Capital Budget. This project, which consists of the highest priority repairs, was generated based upon recommendations from the Sewer Master Plan that was adopted in March 2023.
Project scope includes sewer rehabilitation and repair methods such as open trench pipe replacement, spot repairs, and Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP). Specific project locations include the following streets or areas:
• Matheson Road between Clayton Road and Geneva Avenue
• Armand Drive between Glazier Drive and Thornwood Drive • Bon Homme Way
• Montgomery Avenue between Dormer Avenue and Wexford Drive • Iron Horse Trail by the storage facility on Solano Way and by Stanwell Drive • Regency Drive in the City of Clayton
There will be preliminary investigative work for condition assessment at all locations via video footage and design recommendations will be determined following review of the video. If any of these locations are determined to be in better condition than assumed a change in location could occur. Armand Drive is currently under a construction moratorium after undergoing a slurry seal treatment in May 2025, so this project would re-apply a slurry seal treatment if the design recommendation confirms work on this street is necessary. Bon Homme Way was originally planned for a cape seal treatment in August 2025 but due to the upcoming sewer work, that pavement surface treatment was delayed and will now be included in this project. Residents along Bon Homme Way were notified in August 2025 regarding this change. The City notified the City of Clayton on the upcoming work on Regency Drive and will continue to coordinate with them during design and construction phases of the project.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.b
September 9, 2025
Analysis/Procurement Process
On July 8, 2025, in conformance with the City’s purchasing policies, staff contacted and issued an informal Request for Proposal (RFP) from Freyer & Laureta (F&L) under the Master Service Agreement (MSA) for Civil Engineering Design Services to provide design services for the Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1.
City staff and F&L negotiated the scope of work and cost for the services and agreed upon $280,800 as fair and reasonable compensation for design and related services for the project. As the Task Order is over $200,000, Council approval is required.
Financial Impact
The current total budget for the project is $2,000,000, funded by Sewer Enterprise Funds (Fund 710). There are sufficient funds to approve the Task Order with Freyer & Laureta.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), approval of this task order does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Regs. Section 15060(c) or 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even if approval of the task order did constitute a project under CEQA, the approval falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment...” Therefore, approval of the task order does not warrant further environmental review. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis.

RE: Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1 (Project No. 2733)
Dear Tianjun,
Freyer & Laureta, Inc. (F&L) is pleased to submit our proposal to provide civil design services for the City of Concord’s (City) Sewer Maintenance Project No. 1. With a proven track record in both open trench and trenchless rehabilitation and utility infrastructure design for Bay Area municipalities, F&L is enthusiastic about the opportunity to support the City through its On-Call MSA.
We understand the critical importance of this project in maintaining Concord’s aging sewer infrastructure and mitigating the risk of sanitary sewer overflows. Our team is prepared to deliver comprehensive plans, specifications, and estimates for the six project locations listed in the City’s RFP, incorporating targeted methods such as CIPP lining, sectional repair, and open trench replacement in alignment with the City’s standards and schedule.
Our proposed scope includes detailed design development from base mapping and CCTV coordination through 100% PS&E. We are committed to ongoing communication, thoughtful coordination, and efficient delivery of high-quality documents tailored to the City’s expectations.
We appreciate the opportunity to be considered and look forward to partnering with you and the City of Concord. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.c
September 9, 2025
Recommended Action
Reject all bids submitted for the Residential Pavement Maintenance No. 1 Project (Project No. 2741), direct staff to re-advertise the project for bids (Measure V, Fund 407; Gas Tax, Fund 266), and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.
Background
In June 2024, Council adopted the Capital Budget for Fiscal Years 2024-25 and 2025- 26 (Capital Budget), which included funding the design and construction of Residential Pavement Maintenance No. 1 (Project No. 2741). The project scope includes pavement maintenance treatments in the Colony Park neighborhood by Bancroft Road and Hookston Road (Attachment 1). Treatments include removal and replacement of failed pavement sections (potholes), mill and fill pavement treatment, slurry maintenance treatment, and restriping.
On March 20, 2025, a task order was approved for R.E.Y. Engineers, Inc. (R.E.Y.) to provide design engineering and related services for the Project. The design was completed in July 2025.
Staff held a community workshop on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, inviting approximately 400 property owners in the project area, to attend and provide input/feedback on the Project. Postcards were mailed to property owners more than two weeks in advance of the workshop. In total, three property owners attended the workshop. and their response was generally favorable of the Project.
Procurement Process
Construction Contract
The Project was advertised for construction bids as required by state law and City policy. The Engineer’s Estimate for the Base Bid is $2,022,000. During the bid period, one Bid Addendum was issued. Bids were opened on July 31, 2025. Seven (7) bids were received in the amounts of $700,000.00 to $1,455,556.48. The lowest bid was received from Rapid Grading Services of Hayward, CA. A summary of the three lowest bids is as follows (Attachment 2):

Staff recommends rejecting all bids and directing staff to re-advertise the project for bids to address design alternatives.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.c
September 9, 2025
The City’s Purchasing Ordinance (Concord Municipal Code Chapter 3.10) allows the City to reject all bids and re-advertise the project. Staff will consider modifications to the scope of work before re-advertising the project in mid September 2025. Project construction is delayed from the previously anticipated effort which had been scheduled for this Fall.
Financial Impact
The Project is funded with $820,000 of Measure V Project (Fund 407) funds and $200,000 of State Gas Tax SB1 Project (Fund 266) funds, for a total of combined funding of $1,020,000 for the Project.
The Project will need additional funding to cover construction contingencies, Staff time, administrative costs, and material costs. Due to these additional costs, the Project will have a budget shortfall to complete the construction.
Staff will recommend a budget transfer at the time of construction contract award from the Citywide Arterial & Collector Maintenance Project #2 (Project No. 2527) (Measure V, Fund 407), a completed project, and associated appropriation of funds, to fully fund the construction of the project.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. Seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the rejection of bids does not constitute a “project” within the meaning Public Resources Code 21065, 14 Cal Code Regulation Sections 21080(b)(5) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c), 15270, 15378 as the rejection of bids has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and/or the activity consists of rejecting or disapproving , which do not constitute a project. Even if the rejection of bids did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Accordingly, no further environmental review is necessary. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis.

Report in Brief
On October 22, 2024, the City Council approved the distribution of $5 million in one-time grant funding to six nonprofit organizations to support the implementation of the City’s Homeless Strategic Plan. Since that time, one of the grant recipients declined to move forward with its proposed program, resulting in unallocated funds. On June 3, 2025, the City Council reviewed options for reallocating unused funds and directed staff to allocate $166,000 to the Todos Santos Business Association's downtown cleanliness program. At the same meeting, Council also requested that staff return with a proposal to support a Mobile Resource Unit operated by Caminar, in partnership with NAMI and Loaves and Fishes. Subsequently, on June 24, 2025, Council increased by $100,000 the funding available for a future mobile resource unit grant, bringing the total available funding to $1,638,896. The additional $100,000 was from an unspent ARPA Grant.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
September 9, 2025
Since June 3, Caminar has been developing a comprehensive proposal and is now presenting a detailed program, in collaboration with six partner organizations, to deliver two years of services to Concord’s unsheltered population. Caminar plans to operate up to three Mobile Resource Unit locations one day per week. The first site will be at First Christian Church, where they will address any operational challenges before expanding.
For future sites, Caminar will work with City staff for evaluation and obtain formal authorization from the City before proceeding.
In addition, Loaves and Fishes will provide food services through a mobile, food-truck– style unit at the Concord Mobile Dignity Center site(s). With City approval, granted through the City’s food vending and permitting process, including site review, Loaves and Fishes may also serve at other locations within the Concord community for up to five days per week.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution authorizing disbursement of $1,638,896 of funding and authorizing the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with Caminar, with any additional Council directed conditions, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
Background
On August 13, 2024, the City Council authorized a competitive grant process to support implementation of the strategies outlined in the Homeless Strategic Plan. Council then formed an Ad Hoc Committee to review proposals and recommend the allocation of $5 million in one-time funding. On September 20, 2024, the Ad Hoc Committee interviewed organizations that submitted 16 proposals, with total funding requests of $12.4 million.
Following a thorough review, the Ad Hoc Committee recommended, and the City Council approved, the allocation of $5 million to six local nonprofit organizations. These organizations proposed a combination of temporary housing and comprehensive support services intended to help individuals transition out of homelessness. The funded programs also included field-based services designed to reach individuals in their current sheltering locations, addressing critical needs such as medical care, substance use treatment, food and hygiene, and workforce development.
During preparation of the legal agreements associated with the Homeless Strategic Plan grant awards, one of the awardees declined to move forward with its proposed program, resulting in unallocated funds in the amount of $1,704,896. The City Council reviewed options for reallocating the unused funds on June 3, 2025, at which time Council directed staff to use $166,000 of these funds to support the Todos Santos Business Association’s downtown cleanliness program and further directed staff to return with a proposal to support a Mobile Resource Unit operated by Caminar, in partnership with NAMI and Loaves and Fishes. On June 24, 2025, the City Council considered an extension of an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant program that had not spent their full allocation, at which time Council chose to reallocate $100,000 to
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
September 9, 2025
support the Mobile Resource Unit, bringing the total available funding amount to $1,638,896.
Analysis
The funding under consideration was originally sourced from both the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and Measure V and is classified as one-time General Fund revenue.
As such, the City Council retains broad discretion over how the unallocated funds may be used. If Council adopts the proposed Resolution (Attachment 1), which authorizes disbursement to Caminar to implement the Mobile Resource Unit strategy, the $1,638,896 in one-time funding will be used as summarized below. A more detailed proposal is provided in Attachment 2.
Summary: Concord Mobile Dignity Center Proposal
Caminar is the lead agency for the proposed Concord Mobile Dignity Center (CMDC): a two-year, $1,638,896 initiative to serve 300 unhoused unduplicated individuals in Concord. CMDC will provide coordinated access to housing navigation, case management, food, clothing, showers, hygiene supplies, medical care, and mental health support through a mobile and site-based model.
Caminar plans to operate up to three Mobile Resource Unit sites, each open one day per week. The first site will be established at First Christian Church and used as a pilot to identify and address any operational challenges before expanding to additional locations. For future sites, Caminar will work closely with City staff to evaluate potential options and will secure formal City authorization prior to implementation.
The proposal acknowledges that funding is one-time and that all partners will be responsible for securing replacement funding.
Key Features & Services
• Lead Site: First Christian Church of Concord located at 3039 Willow Pass Road; operating 1 day week.
• No Preconditions: Services are accessible regardless of income, employment, or sobriety.
• Target Population: Chronically homeless individuals and unhoused families in Concord.
• Mental Health Support: Provided by NAMI Contra Costa, with specialized family reunification outreach to transitional-age youth.
• Partnerships: Includes Caminar, NAMI CC, Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa, White Pony Express, First Christian Church, Pleasant Hill Seventh Day Adventist Church, and RotaCare.
• Outreach: CMDC will collaborate with community groups and agencies (e.g., police, MDUSD, CORE) for client identification and service coordination.

Supporting Efforts
Caminar’s current work on the Concord Rapid Rehousing program has identified a need for the Concord Mobile Dignity Center because it has the potential to reduce barriers for participants attempting to access Rapid Rehousing. As of September 1, 2025, Caminar has enrolled 32 households (45 individuals2) in the City’s Rapid Rehousing program and 5 households (9 individuals) have secured housing, underscoring the value of added support services like those provided through Mobile Dignity Center.

Financial Impact
The funds referenced in this staff report are one-time General Fund dollars, giving the City Council full discretion over their allocation, provided they are invested consistent with the City’s Fiscal Stability Ordinance which requires one-time dollars to be invested in one-time expenses, in other words the investment may not create ongoing costs for the City. Originally designated to support implementation of the Homeless Strategic Plan, these funds may continue to serve that purpose or be redirected to another Council priority, so long as they remain a one-time investment. There is no new impact on the budget under either scenario.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, 2 Of the 45 enrolled individuals, 44 were chronically homeless, and one had experienced homelessness for six months.

2. Project/Program Information
Provide a brief description of the project or program being proposed for strategy
Mobile Resource Unit Strategy:
Caminar is the lead agency for the Concord Mobile Dignity Center (CMDC) proposal.
The total project budget is $1,638,896. For simplicity, Caminar will refer to this project as CMDC throughout this document. CMDC is a 2-year bid for a collaborative project of funded and unfunded community non-profit organizations partners to provide housing navigation/case management, food, clothing, showers, basic hygiene supplies, medical care, and mental health support for Concord individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Over 2 years, CMDC will serve 300 unduplicated individuals experiencing homelessness in Concord.
Amount Requested: $1,638,896
Minimum Amount Needed: $1,638,896
Estimated Number of Concord Residents to be Served: 300
Estimated Number of All Persons to be Served: 300
3. Community Benefits
Description of the specific population the project/program will benefit
The CMDC will serve Concord’s most vulnerable residents: chronically homeless and homeless single adults and families. Individuals may have unaddressed mental health, substance use disorder, medical/physical health needs, and/or a lack of access to essential services. Accessible basic needs, case management services, and linkages to other systems of care all support the dignity and ability of participants to self- determine.
Description of where the targeted program participants currently reside, where the program will be operated, and any preconditions that may be imposed on program participants
The targeted program participants will be currently unhoused residents of the City of Concord.
The initial CMDC site will be established at First Christian Church of Concord (FCC of Concord), located at 3039 Willow Pass Road. FCC of Concord is centrally located near other services and public transportation. Implementing this site will provide an opportunity to identify and resolve any operational challenges prior to pursuing additional locations. For future site selection, Caminar will collaborate with City staff to evaluate potential sites and will obtain formal authorization from the City before moving forward with any subsequent locations. Please note there will be no preconditions such as employment, income, or sobriety for participants to receive services.
Description of how the project/program will address, help, or solve this need or issue; and description of how the project aligns with the goals outlined within the City's Homeless Strategic Plan
Multiple mobile partner service units will congregate at CMDC sites to provide showers, medical care, food, clothing, hygiene support, housing navigation/case management, resources, community linkages and referral. The CMDC has developed a model that is efficient, scale-able, replicable, and easily implemented at additional sites that provides improvement in outcomes. The CMDC mission is to foster meaningful relationships with our homeless friends and community partners and to create a safe and supportive environment that encourages and enables growth, personal development, stabilization, and positive changes for all. The objective of the CMDC is to improve the health, dignity, and overall well-being of individuals experiencing homelessness by providing access to food, free showers, clothing, medical and mental care, and other crucial services.

Engagement
Caminar will ensure the smooth flow of the Concord Mobile Dignity Center at each site.
Caminar will ensure adequate provider organization schedule for each CMDC event; Organize volunteer staffing, set up and take down; Communicate with CMDC and community partners to identify problems that need to be addressed regarding event location, materials, flow, volunteer issues, participant issues, security issues, cleanliness; Ensure adequate stocking of all supplies; Maintain stock of hygiene supplies; Conduct initial intake for services desired; Identify and welcome new participants; Organize volunteers to guide participants through MCDC services; Refer participants to CMDC partner organizations for follow up care and resources; Collaborate with Continuum of Care entities to coordinate participant care and follow up.
Intake, Evaluation, Assessments, Resources, Referrals, and Linkages Each participant of the CMDC is welcomed and interviewed to determine an initial current living situation and potential eligibility for housing, medical care, and general assistance programs. Intake, evaluation, and assessments are offered, by Caminar and NAMI of Contra Costa, to assist the participants in accessing the services needed.
Connections will be made with mainstream agencies such as the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Workforce Development Navigators, Mt. Diablo SOAR Program and Health, Housing and Homelessness (H3) CORE Team.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse/Addiction Evaluations, Resources and Referrals NAMI of Contra Costa will provide referrals to mental health and substance abuse treatment, culturally relevant one-on-one behavioral health therapeutic case management, and referrals as needed. Caminar and NAMI of Contra Costa will partner with social workers, public health case managers, and public health nurses to help provide initial substance abuse evaluations and referrals to appropriate rehabilitation programs and medical care. Participants will be referred to Ujima Family Recovery Services, Bi-Bett, Lifehouse Recovery and other programs for which CMDC participants are eligible.
Additional Pro-Bono Services
Caminar will recruit and invite legal assistance, pet care, vehicle care, bicycle/wheelchair care, library assistance, mental health services, CalFresh benefits advocacy, and more services to the CMDC.
Lived Experience Specialists and Service Coordinators
Caminar will hire and train Lived Experience Specialists and Service Coordinators to assist participants with access to services, such as showers, and supplies, under the direct supervision of Caminar staff. Caminar will train them in de-escalation of conflict between individuals, especially individuals experiencing psychotic episodes. Trauma Informed Care, Harm Reduction, and Housing First training will be provided, as well.
Well-trained staff will help prevent the need for Concord Police Department services.
Hygiene, Shower, and Clothing Services
Caminar and White Pony Express will provide hygiene kits, clothing, and other supplies, which Lived Experience Specialists and Service Coordinators will distribute during the CMDC service hours. A state-of-the-art, 4 stall (shower, sink, toilet combo), 33’ trailer leveraged from the Pleasant Hill Seventh Day Adventist Church (The Hill) will be available. Caminar will provide towel service, clothing, and other personal items, as needed.
Nutritional Services
For all anticipated weekday CMDC events, Loaves and Fishes will be providing hot meals to participants and White Pony Express will provide “on the go” food items which participants can take with them. Lived Experience Specialists and Service Coordinators will also distribute food, hydration, and snacks to participants, which are provided by White Pony Express, and other partner relationships.
Continuum of Care Linkages
CMDC participants will be linked to the Contra Costa County Continuum of Care through Caminar’s Housing Navigator Case Manager (HNCM). This connection allows participants to be prioritized in the Coordinated Entry System of care for shelter and housing opportunities.
Housing Navigation/Case Management
Caminar’s Housing Navigation/Case Management services will include referrals to mental health and substance use treatment, behavioral health therapeutic case management, referrals as needed, enrollment help for health insurance (Medi-Cal), outreach and community advocacy, guidance through application process for General Assistance, CalFresh and other benefits. Caminar, in collaboration with NAMI of Contra Costa, will refer to mental health and substance abuse treatment. There will be extensive collaboration between Caminar and NAMI Contra Costa, including case conferencing, as needed.
Medical Services
RotaCare of Concord will provide primary care medical care staff and a specialized trailer at the Mobile Dignity Centers to conduct medical evaluations and referrals. Per the City of Concord Homeless Strategic Plan, medical care will include: basic medical care, health screenings, wound care, referral to dental clinics, health education, referral to doctors and providers for ongoing primary care, referral to vision services.
Specifically, the Concord Mobile Dignity Center will:
1. Promote Hygiene and Health: reduce the spread of illness, infections, and skin conditions by offering a space for regular bathing, improving personal hygiene, and helping public health risks
2. Provide nutritious meals to all participants
3. Enhance Dignity and Self-Esteem: Provide a sense of dignity and respect by enabling individuals to maintain cleanliness, which can boost confidence and improve their mental well-being
4. Facilitate Social Reintegration: Help individuals prepare for job interviews, work, or other social interactions by providing a basic need, making it easier for them to re- enter the workforce or society
5. Reduce Stigma: Combat the stigma and discrimination faced by the homeless community by allowing them to present themselves in a cleaner, more socially accepted manner
6. Connect to Additional Services: Serve as a gateway for individuals to access other services, such as medical care, housing assistance, and mental health support
7. Improve Community Cleanliness: Support public cleanliness by reducing the use of public spaces (e.g., waterways) for bathing, which can also reduce environmental harm.
By meeting these objectives, CMDC aims to address immediate needs while also serving as a steppingstone to broader social services and long-term support for individuals experiencing homelessness. The partnerships formed will lead to strengthening the support system between government and non-government agencies.
The regularity of vital services with facilitated access to these services enables the program to deliver a person-centered approach and coordinated care for each participant.
4. Goals and Objectives
Description of the anticipated measurable outcomes of the project/program
The measurable outcomes for this project will include successfully serving 300 unduplicated individuals over 2 years, of which 10% or 30 individuals will become housed. Caminar will complete follow-ups for those exiting CMDC to housing at 30, 60, 90, 180-day post exit in HMIS, with the ability to pull the City of Concord resident data in HMIS reports.
Additional measurable outcomes will include establishing links to other community providers. From the leveraged, government side, Caminar will continue to deepen relationships with H3, County Behavioral Health, and the Workforce Development Board. For example, Caminar will advocate for client access to level 3 GA from Employment and Human Services, if they are permanently disabled, but are not currently receiving SSI. Caminar will also make sure clients are maximizing their non- cash benefits, such as CalFresh. The CMDC Housing Navigator/Case Manager will assist participants to fully utilize mainstream and entitlement resources available to increase and maximize client household income. This will ensure that participants are connected to the necessary resources and services to support their long-term stability and well-being. This will be evidenced by HMIS data and reporting.
CMDC will reduce the numbers of homeless individuals and families, on the streets, near businesses, in encampments, and visibly sleeping in vehicles in Concord. The reduction in homelessness will be especially reflected in local nonprofit reporting, City
and County data, especially the Point-in-Time Counts, as outlined in Concord's Homeless Strategic Plan.
Description of the process for tracking and gathering outcome data for reporting purposes
Caminar, in Contra Costa County and elsewhere, utilizes the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to collect data on enrollments, demographics, finances, exits, intakes, and other information. If awarded, Caminar will continue to utilize HMIS on behalf of the entire CMDC services team, for entering and monitoring data pertinent to this project/program. In contrast to our other programs that receive intakes via HMIS, for this initiative, we will engage community stakeholders such as the police department, the SOAR program at MDUSD, and other entities like the Monument Crisis Center. Caminar will co-enroll clients in the Coordinated Entry System in HMIS, whenever appropriate, so that clients may be prioritized for housing options until they are no longer deemed homeless under HUD regulations.
The CMDC will collect data, both participant demographics and services received in the HMIS utilizing the data standards and forms of the Contra Costa Continuum of Care. If a participant is entering services for the first time in HMIS, a full intake and assessment will be completed. Concord Mobile Dignity Center’s data will be quality-assured by the County’s Health, Housing, and Homelessness (H3) RED Team.
5. Partnerships and Funding
Description of any partnerships or subcontractors and the role they play in the project/program
The partnership developed for the Concord Mobile Dignity Center includes organizations that each have a deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and cultural competence, thus ensuring all community members are treated with respect and provided the opportunity to thrive, regardless of race, gender, or socio-economic status.
These organizations and agencies are well-known providers of specific services and as a group we have a long-term commitment to providing our respective services. As the CMDC evolves from the initial site to other sites, the partnerships will expand to providers of additional services that contribute to the overall goals of remaining a solid gateway program to a life off the streets.
As a team we are well-equipped to deliver on the objectives outlined in this proposal, utilizing deep-rooted community relationships, proven experience, and a steadfast commitment to preventing and finding solutions to homelessness.
All the services partners presently provide mobile services at locations throughout the county, and have the experience, culture, and staff to ensure a positive outcome for CMDC.
CAMINAR
Lynna Magnuson and La Tanya Johnson
Lead Agency, Housing Navigation/Case Management Services
Caminar is applying as the lead for the CMDC. Caminar will be responsible for hosting the funded partners in the service activities described herein, as well as providing Housing Navigation/Case Management services. All partners will be responsible for securing replacement funding, as all acknowledge CMDC funding of $1,638,896 is one- time only funding. All partners are responsible for attracting leveraged partnerships, as well. Caminar will also be responsible for receiving and processing invoices for payment to our subcontractors. Caminar will be responsible for providing invoices to the City for cost reimbursement, or other method the City of Concord prefers.
Caminar will arrive at the CMDC with staff and volunteers at 2pm on Thursdays to set up in the First Christian Church of Concord’s semi-circle off Willow Pass Road. Caminar will maintain control of the parking lot to guide participants to the services area only, away from the church buildings, preschool, and other programs at the church. Caminar will be actively engaging with all participants, including intake and case management from 3-8pm on 2nd Thursdays, and 3-5pm all other Thursdays, with a shower extension for families with children 5-7pm. Caminar will be responsible for set-up and clean-up and will always be the last to leave to ensure site remains clean and uninhabited.
The Caminar team will complete intakes into the Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS) as well as track services provided. Caminar will co-enroll clients in the Coordinated Entry System (CES) to increase the likelihood that participants will qualify for any housing available, such as Permanent Supportive Housing or Concord Rapid Rehousing.
Caminar will provide direct Housing Navigation/Case Management to those utilizing CMDC, which will help reduce emergency room visits and police activity. By offering Housing Navigation/Case Management services, Caminar will assist participants in overcoming barriers to permanent housing. This includes connecting with local landlords, educating participants on Concord’s new tenant rights, and facilitating linkages to stable housing. Additionally, Housing Navigation/Case Management efforts will address the underlying barriers that may have contributed to the loss of previous housing, helping participants achieve long-term stability.
FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF CONCORD
Pastor Leslie Taylor
CMDC Site
First Christian Church of Concord will be the first CMDC site every Thursday from 2- 8pm.
LOAVES AND FISHES
Janette Kennedy and Joleen Lafayette
Meals Provider
Loaves and Fishes will be providing 50 hot, nutritious meals 2 days per week, after purchasing a food truck. Until then, Loaves and Fishes will provide boxed meals by the same measure. Loaves and Fishes will prepare, then transport the meals to CMDC, and food is plated from the truck.
Short-Term Objective: Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa (LFCC) will deploy the food truck–style mobile unit to the Concord Mobile Dignity Center site(s). With City authorization, obtained through the City’s food vending and permitting process (including site selection), Loaves and Fishes may also operate at additional locations within the Concord community for up to five days per week. The CMDC partnership will allow immediate relief to those experiencing food insecurity by delivering nutritious meals directly to vulnerable populations. LFCC’s hot meal program consists of a nutritious hot entree, vegetable side, fruit side, bread, and dessert.
For LFCC to meet the needs of the Concord Community, along with the new food truck- style mobile unit, LFCC would need to install a walk-in refrigerator in its Martinez kitchen where the meals for Concord would be produced until LFCC is able to find a new central kitchen that can produce more than the current 3,000 meals/day.
Note: LFCC anticipates an interim period of 3-5 months (from project approval) for the build of the mobile unit/food truck. During this time, LFCC has a contingency plan to ensure uninterrupted service. In the absence of refrigeration and preparation facilities for the mobile unit, we will provide nutritious box meals to the mobile resource center.
These meals will meet the same high nutritional standards as the hot meals we plan to serve from the truck, ensuring that the community continues to receive essential food support throughout the transition period.
Long-Term Objective: Following the first-year investment, LFCC will work to sustain the project to continue serving the Concord community through various grant funding opportunities, alliances with other nonprofit partners in Concord and its experience serving the community for the last 40 years. This initiative will focus on feeding low- income individuals and families, with a primary goal of preventing homelessness. By providing healthy meals, LFCC enables individuals to divert their limited resources toward housing, healthcare, utilities, and transportation, thereby reducing the risk of homelessness. The ultimate goal is to operate the truck continuously, increasing LFCC service capacity while minimizing reliance on city funds.
NAMI OF CONTRA COSTA
Gigi Crowder
Mental Health Services
NAMI of Contra Costa will outreach to the unsheltered who are living with mental health challenges in the downtown Concord area. NAMI of CC will hire 2 additional part-time staff members who would each work 20 hours a week at a payrate of $28/hour. One
staff member will have lived, reflective experience and have Spanish-speaking capabilities. A second staff member will reflect the ethnic background of those we see in the transitional age youth population (ages 16-26).
PLEASANT HILL SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
Pastor Mitch Williams
Shower Trailer/Truck Provider
Pleasant Hill Seventh Day Adventist Church (The Hill) has offered the use of their state- of-the-art, 4-stall shower trailer. To transport the 12,000lb. trailer, an F-350 truck must be obtained. The Hill will allow Caminar to have qualified drivers use the truck and trailer for CMDC sites, as well as provide water and sewer facilities to service the trailer.
The Hill is also interested in partnering to create an additional CMDC site.
ROTACARE
Jennifer Turner
Outpatient Mobile Medical Clinic
RotaCare will host a Free Clinic at the CMDC the 2nd Thursday evening every month for participants who uninsured, underinsured, underserved with the following services (and more): allergies, sore throat, ear infections, coughs & colds, flu, fever, pink eye, concussion/head injuries, muscle strains, minor burns, wound care, back pain, diabetes management, hypertension management, women’s health, and referrals free of cost (X- rays/ultrasounds, screening & diagnostic mammograms, routine bloodwork, surgical procedures).
WHITE PONY EXPRESS
Eve Birge
Food, Hygiene, and other Supplies
White Pony Express will be making non-perishable food deliveries every Thursday, as well as providing a boutique for participants’ needs (clothing, shoes, personal hygiene items, pet food, diapers). These food items are specifically curated for easy on-the-go stashing for now and later by participants and the personal items bring comfort, confidence, and the joy of a small indulgence. White Pony Express will need a dedicated van to hold the hygiene items for the showers, clothing items, and the ability to bring items not distributed back to their facility.
Description of how the program would work if the full amount requested is not received
Caminar provided a budget for 2 years of CMDC service provision, totaling $1,638,869.
If full funding is not received, services will have to be cut and scaled to fit the budget for the best use of the funding.
Explain if the project/program is a one-time event; if not, how it will remain sustainable after receiving the grant funds including a description of expected future revenue and sources of revenue, etc.
Caminar understands that City of Concord will be providing one-time funding to the CMDC, however, Caminar will seek replacement funding, through a variety of funders, including local, County, State, Federal, and Corporate Foundation opportunities. For example, if Caminar is awarded the request of $1,638,869 Caminar will have enough funds through the City of Concord to operate for 2 years serving Concord residents solely. Caminar will apply for Care Center and Navigation Center funding in all upcoming cycles. If awarded, the funding will have to include all of Contra Costa County, however, Caminar has served 56% of heads of household who are Concord residents in other County-wide programs. Caminar will actively pursue matching and replacement funds, as well as other sources of revenue and unique partnerships to continue providing CMDC services in Concord.

7. Organizational Capacity
Description of the current financial health of the organization and at what capacity the organization has been providing services or programs to Concord residents
For 60 years, Caminar has provided behavioral health care for individuals with mental, physical, and developmental disabilities. Caminar transformed the lives of more than 18,000 youth and adults across the racially and ethnically diverse counties of San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Solano, Contra Costa, and Butte counties last year through behavioral health care, case management, housing, and education. After opening our first program, El Camino House, a crisis residential treatment program, Caminar's health care recovery, treatment, and family services have expanded dramatically with over 40 locations and 60 distinct programs for individuals experiencing mental health issues and substance use disorders in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Butte, and San Francisco Counties.
Specifically, Caminar's Supportive Housing and Homelessness Prevention are the direct response to homelessness in Solano, San Mateo, Contra Costa, and Butte
counties. In Solano County, Caminar operates Resource Connect Solano (RCS), the Coordinated Entry System, on behalf of the CAP Solano JPA, the HUD Continuum of Care applicant agency. RCS has provided Homelessness Prevention activities through CSBG and is the referral source for all CoC housing (including Rapid Re-Housing) in Solano County. This also includes two of Caminar's HUD supportive housing projects.
In Butte County, Caminar also operates two supportive housing projects.
Regarding other funding, Caminar operates HUD Permanent Supported Housing units for 12 individuals and families and up to 16 beds of MHSA Emergency Housing (30-to- 90-day program) in Solano County, as well as case management and resident services coordination of 180 households in community. San Mateo also has 60 units of permanent supported housing, administrated through the Housing Authority and services provided by Caminar.
Caminar is a current City of Concord Contractor for Concord Rapid Rehousing. As of 9/1/2025, Caminar’s Concord Rapid Rehousing has 32 households enrolled, or 45 participants. Of those 32 households, 5 households or 9 participants have secured housing.
Caminar uses Dynamics 365 Business Central, an accounting software and accounting system that can manage all the accounting needs of a large non-profit agency. This system is used for booking transactions for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable. We also use this system to generate monthly financial statements. All expense transactions will be reviewed and approved by the Program Director based on the approval matrix we have set up for our agency. Financial statements are reviewed monthly by the Director of Finance and Accounting, the CFO, and the Program Director for reasonableness. To follow accepted accounting procedures (GAAP), Caminar contracts with an independent auditor to perform a year-end audit of the financial statements.
Our corporate headquarters are in San Mateo. Corporate administration includes Finance, Accounting, Operations, Human Resources, IT, office of the CEO, and Development and Marketing departments, all of which support programs in our six Bay Area and Northern California regions. Caminar has multiple Federal, State, County, City, and other contracts across all regions and is insured to protect all assets and liabilities. Caminar has an established breadth of work in other Counties.
Description of the organization's experience and capacity to manage, implement, measure, and report on the project/program; include examples and data of successful, similar programs
Caminar manages a wide variety of programs throughout San Mateo, Santa Clara, Butte, Solano, and Contra Costa. Caminar completed the second year of operating the Bringing Families Home program. In Contra Costa, Caminar provides Monthly Enrollment, Data Quality Assurance, and Services-Based Financial reports to H3.

Hello, Justin. I am out of town on my 25th wedding anniversary and won't be back before the 12th.
My opinion, and understand it is self servicing, but during times of state and federal cut backs on fuunding, organizations directly working with the homelessness, e.g., VAH and other, given a percentage of the 1.6 million, could have a greater impact on the desired outcome to reduce local homelessnes.
A mobile program, while perhaps beneficial, ultimately will refer contacts to organizations such as VAH. Receiving addition funding would ensure we could continue our work, and grow the availability of needed services.

Subject: Re: Public showers for those in need and my experience
Hello, my name is Raymond Paul.
I am an ex foster youth, and now ex unhoused individual thanks to the ongoing effort of the rapid rehousing project.
While I was feeling the most helpless, I sank my teeth into the one solid thing I have ever known- working hard. I worked two jobs, one being a culinary job, one being considered gig work. I was tired, I was scared, and I was lost. I was worried and stressed daily that my boss or my peers would discover I was homeless, and my outward presentation became very important to me. Holding down a job and keeping from the gentrification of the society around me was crucial, it was survival, it was all I had.
I cannot stress enough the importance of free or affordable showers for those in need. So called “bird baths” in public restrooms only get you so far, as it feels like there is a ever present layer of dirt and filth that cannot be scrubbed off with paper towels and water.
There is a level of dignity and security in showering, feeling clean, ready to take on the day.
It is genuinely empowering what feeling normal can do, and that feeling can be make or break for someone in that situation.
I am writing this email to show support of the Caminar goal of acquiring resources to make this happen, and I hope to shed some light on the effects this will have on the local population, as someone who has lived it first hand.
Thank you for your help, thank you for hearing our request, and thank you for hearing my story.

I am in favor of this. We need this for our unhoused folks, this way they don't have to go all the way to Martinez.

Subject: Support: Homeless Strategic Plan Funding
September 9, 2025
Dear Concord City Council,
As a long-time resident of Concord and someone deeply committed to the humane treatment of our community’s most vulnerable, I respectfully urge you to allocate the city’s one-time homeless strategic plan funding toward the operation of a mobile resource unit for our unhoused neighbors.
A mobile resource unit would provide critical, immediate services that promote health, dignity, and stability. These services — including access to hygiene facilities, case management, food, clothing, and essential mental health support — represent not only a compassionate response, but also a practical investment in the wellbeing of our entire community.
Your leadership in prioritizing this initiative will ensure that Concord continues to uphold values of care, inclusivity, and responsibility. I sincerely thank you for your consideration and for your vote in support of this important effort.
With gratitude,
Heather Martin
Concord Mobile Dignity Center
