funding opportunity does not require Housing First criteria); or

4. Any other City Council direction regarding shelter options and funding allocation to effectively implement homeless services.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The action is also exempt from CEQA under Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

This item does not relate to the Climate Action Plan.

GENERAL PLAN/CITY COUNCIL FOCUS AREAS:

This item meets the City Council’s 2026-2027 Annual Work Plan Focus Area: Public Health and Safety for the Protection of Life, Property and the Physical Environment, Goal 1.4.2: Enhance Community Confidence through Sheriff, Fire & City Services:
• Objective A: Balance and reassess enforcement and services for the unhoused.

This item also relates to the General Plan Housing Element Goal 2 Policy 1.7: Coordinate with local social service providers to address the needs of the City’s homeless population and to provide housing suitable for special needs populations, including seniors, large families, the disabled, and farmworkers; and the following Housing Element program:
• 2F: Continue Programs to Reduce Homelessness - Continue to support programs to prevent homelessness and serve individuals experiencing homelessness based on community need …...

FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS:

City of Vista MOU Extension
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action as no additional funds would be added to the existing MOU.

SHELTER OPTIONS
A. BCNC
If City Council were to authorize the continuation of the current BCNC shelter services, additional funding would be required for Retread (the BCNC operator), Santa Fe House master lease (the location of the BCNC), and shared utility costs.

The projected costs for Retread to continue operations of the BCNC for an additional year would be approximately $2,300,000, of which Encinitas would pay 25% or approximately $575,000 and Vista would pay 75% or approximately $1,725,000. This is a total annual increase of approximately $1,000,000 from the original professional services agreement. 2026-09-16 Item #12C Page 2 of 11
The Santa Fe House master lease expires on December 31, 2026, with the option of two additional 12-month extensions with no increase to the monthly base rent. The current monthly rent for the entire operation is $44,000 per month with Vista paying $33,000 ($396,000 annually) and Encinitas paying $11,000 ($132,000 annually). The cost of the master lease agreement would not increase and remain at $132,000 annually.

Encinitas’ annual utility costs are approximately $8,000. Therefore, the total projected annual operating cost for Encinitas would be $132,000 lease, $575,000 for Retread and $8,000 for utilities for a new total annual operating cost of approximately $715,000, resulting in an annual increase of approximately $226,000.

If City Council authorizes staff to apply for the PLHA Cycle 2 non-competitive funds, Years 1 & 2 funds of approximately $226,857 could be used to continue BCNC for an additional year with 12 dedicated beds and would require General Funds for the remaining balance of $488,143. If City Council chooses this option, staff would request General Fund appropriation for the required funding of $488,143 during the mid-year budget cycle. If this option is selected, staff would return to City Council to extend the existing Retread and Santa Fe House contracts for one year, before they expire on December 31, 2026, and include the additional required funding of $715,000.

To continue the BCNC for a one-year extension, it would require Vista to agree to continue the existing contractual arrangement of Vista paying 75% and Encinitas paying 25% of the total operation cost.

B. Exclusive Use of up to 12 SDRM Shelter Beds
The cost of securing the exclusive use of 12 beds at SDRM’s National City South County Lighthouse shelter would be a maximum of $381,060 per year. SDRM’s shelter beds cost $87 per bed per night and the City would only be charged for the actual nights the beds were utilized—not when the beds were unoccupied so this cost may be less based on actual occupancy.

If City Council authorizes staff to apply for the PLHA Cycle 2 non-competitive funds, Years 1 & 2 funds of approximately $226,857 could be used to secure up to 12 dedicated beds at SDRM’s shelter and would require General Funds for the remaining balance of $154,203.

If City Council chooses this option, staff would request General Fund appropriation for the required funding of $154,203 during the mid-year budget cycle. If this option is selected, staff would return to City Council on October 14, 2026, to amend the existing SDRM contract for a new Not-To-Exceed total which would include the additional funding of $381,060.

PLHA Cycle 2 Funding Application
The total amount of PLHA Cycle 2 non-competitive funding the City is allocated to receive is estimated at $684,575 over five (5) years. The first two (2) years of funding is approximately $226,857 and would be available approximately 90-120 days from the date of application submission. The PLHA Cycle 2 provides funds through a lump-sum payment rather than a reimbursement model and does not require a financial or in-kind match; no General Fund contribution is required to apply for or accept this non-competitive funding.

BACKGROUND:

City of Vista MOU
On September 27, 2023, City Council approved the MOU between the City of Encinitas and the City of Vista from December 05, 2023 through September 30, 2026 to cooperate on the establishment of the BCNC, the release of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for a service provider and draft a master lease agreement for the BCNC (Link to Agenda). 2026-09-16 Item #12C Page 3 of 11
On August 5, 2026, Vista staff submitted to Encinitas staff a draft extension to the MOU to extend the term of the MOU to December 31, 2026, to align with the Retread and master lease agreement expiration terms.

On August 17, 2026, Vista staff submitted to Encinitas staff a cover letter to the draft extension to the MOU indicating Vista’s intent to operate all of BCNC’s 48 beds independently beginning January 1, 2027.

BCNC
On September 14, 2023, Santa Fe House landlord submitted a Letter of Intent to the City indicating their interest in leasing the Santa Fe House to the City as a homeless navigation center for a duration of three (3) years, and the MOU with the City of Vista was authorized by City Council on September 27,2023.

On January 24, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-13 authorizing an agreement with Retread Inc. to provide BCNC operator services from February 01, 2024 through December 31, 2024 with two (2) 12-month extensions through December 31, 2026, Resolution No. 2024-14 authorizing the execution of the master lease agreement for the BCNC from February 01, 2024 through December 31, 2026 with two (2) 12-month extensions through December 31, 2028 with no lease payment increases, Resolution No. 2024-07 amending the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget (Link to Agenda).

On June 18, 2025, City Council approved an additional $186,000 for continued operations (Resolution No. 2025-73). The master lease agreement and service provider professional services agreement expires on December 31, 2026.

On August 25, 2026, Vista City Council approved 12 months of funding to continue operations of all 48 beds at the BCNC through December 31, 2027. This motion included the City of Vista taking over the 12 beds designated for the exclusive use for unhoused residents of Encinitas.

SDRM
On November 12, 2025, City Council approved a Professional Consultant Services Agreement with SDRM to provide Homeless Response Services within the City for 12 months with the ability to extend the agreement for five (5) additional 12-month terms. The SDRM contract includes two (2) full-time outreach specialists and the City’s first full-time housing navigator whose role is to find appropriate placements and housing for unhoused individuals in Encinitas based on their specific needs. The total initial cost of SDRM’s agreement is $343,981 and is utilizing $217,781 of opioid funding and $126,200 from General Funds (Link to Agenda).

On May 13, 2026, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the existing Professional Services Agreement with SDRM to add $25,000 for housing navigation services to the existing not-toexceed amount of $343,981 resulting in a new not-to-exceed amount of $368,981 (Link to Agenda).

On August 5, 2026, SDRM was notified they were awarded approximately $955,000 from the FY 2026 HUD CoC NOFO grant, a $4.1 billion national competition aimed at improving system performance and expanding evidence-based housing and outreach interventions. SDRM submitted a countywide application, which the City provided a letter of support, for a regional program that includes expanding the City’s Homeless Response Services. This grant funding will result in SDRM providing approximately two additional days per week of outreach and stabilization services in Encinitas—at no additional cost to the City. 2026-09-16 Item #12C Page 4 of 11
Currently SDRM operates multiple facilities, including the South County Lighthouse, which offers 125 beds, and the Mission Academy, which is a 228-bed 12-month rehabilitation program servicing individuals and families. With the City’s contract for homeless services, SDRM has given Encinitas’ unhoused residents access to these facilities at no additional cost.

PLHA
In 2017, Governor Brown signed a 15-bill housing package aimed at addressing the state’s housing shortage and high housing costs. Specifically, it included the Building Homes and Jobs Act (Senate Bill 2), which established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase the supply of affordable homes in California and is expected to generate between $250 and $300 million annually to be distributed equitably among local jurisdictions throughout the State via a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The intention of the NOFA was to help cities and counties increase the supply of affordable housing and to assist persons experiencing homelessness.

On November 16, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-114 authorizing City staff to apply for PLHA Cycle 1 funds, adopt the five (5) year (2019-2023) PLHA plan, and authorize the City Manager to enter into, execute, and deliver an agreement with HCD (Link to Agenda).

On April 11, 2023, HCD sent an award announcement letter indicating the City would receive PLHA funding in the amount of approximately $665,494 total for five (5) years.

On May 24, 2023, City Council accepted PLHA Cycle 1 funding in the amount of $665,494; and adopted Resolution No. 2023-45 amending the Fiscal Year 2022- 23 Budget appropriating PLHA funds to the Homeless Action Plan work project (Link to Agenda).

On June 25, 2025, City Council approved entering into the contract with HCD for final two (2) years of PLHA Cycle 1 funds (Link to Agenda).

On August 13, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-86 to Repeal and Replace Resolution No. 2022-114 authorizing the application and adopting the PLHA Plan (Link to Agenda).

On July 20, 2026, staff received communication from HCD of availability of PLHA Cycle 2 noncompetitive funding and Encinitas’ estimated five-year total is $684,575.

ANALYSIS:

City of Vista MOU Extension
The City of Encinitas and the City of Vista coordinated together in the establishment of the BCNC in North County to address the homelessness crisis. Partnering together, the cost of operating the shelter reduced the cost for each City and created a regional solution of providing emergency shelter beds in North County. The cost of managing and operating the Navigation Center is shared with Encinitas responsible for 25% and Vista responsible for 75% of the cost with Encinitas having exclusive use of 12 beds and Vista having the exclusive use of 36 beds.

SHELTER OPTIONS
A. BCNC
The BCNC is a low-barrier, adults-only shelter facility in North County San Diego that opened on March 4, 2024, and provides interim housing and trauma-informed supportive services to adults experiencing homelessness as they work toward permanent housing. The center includes 24 rooms with capacity for 48 individuals, with 12 beds (six rooms) reserved for Encinitas. Since opening, Retread Inc., operator of BCNC, has expanded on-site services to 2026-09-16 Item #12C Page 5 of 11
include personal care, Homeless Court advocacy, medical care, and specialized classes on healthy habits, boundaries, anger management, and substance use recovery.

Since inception, the BCNC served 158 unduplicated individuals from Encinitas, with referrals from SDRM, PATH, Exodus, and OHS. Participants entered from various situations, including unsheltered homelessness, emergency shelters, hotels/motels, and hospitals and had a range of outcomes upon exit. Of those who were excited, 50 transitioned to permanent housing and 20 moved into temporary housing. Unfortunately, 76 individuals either reentered homelessness or could not be interviewed. For clients who exited to housing or institutional care, the average length of stay was 78 days, reflecting the program’s ability to provide relatively short-term support before placement.

In 2026, the annual average occupancy at BCNC was 94%, an increase from 88% in 2025, demonstrating continued demand and effective utilization of available resources. Since SDRM has been providing homeless services from November 24, 2025, to June 30, 2026, the occupancy rate at the BCNC has raised to 96% (see the below Table 1 – BCNC Occupancy & Placement Rates).

76 In August 2026, Vista informed staff the preliminary total contract cost for Retread to continue operations of the BCNC (excluding lease or utility costs) would be approximately $2,300,000 per year. This is an increase of approximately $1,000,000 as the FY 2025-26 projected annual cost for Retread to operate the BCNC was $1,335,000 of which Encinitas was responsible for 25% of the cost or approximately $335,000 and Vista was responsible for 75% or approximately $1,000,000. The Actual FY 2025-26 Retread cost for the City of Encinitas was $349,000 due to required facility repairs as shown in the table below.

Vista indicated the increase in Retread’s cost to operate BCNC for one additional year is due to improving program gaps which includes, in part, an additional full-time housing navigator position, housing navigation and assistance services, vehicle acquisition, insurance, more flexible funds, move in support, and other miscellaneous operational enhancements.

The Santa Fe House master lease expires on December 31, 2026, with the option of two additional 12-month extensions with no increase to the monthly base rent. The current monthly rent for the entire operation is $44,000 per month with Vista paying $33,000 ($396,000 annually) and Encinitas paying $11,000 ($132,000 annually) for a total annual lease cost of $528,000. Encinitas annual utility costs are approximately $7,700. As shown in the table below, the total annual operating cost for Encinitas in FY2025-26 included $132,000 lease, $349,000 for Retread, $7,758 for utilities for a total cost of approximately $488,758 for an 2026-09-16 Item #12C Page 6 of 11
average annual cost per bed of $40,730 and an average bed cost per night of $112. With the increased Retread cost of approximately $1,000,000 to operate BCNC for one more year, the total cost for Encinitas’ 25% would increase to $715,000 which results in an annual increase of approximately $226,242 for an annual bed cost of approximately $59,583 and an average bed cost per night of $163.

If this option is chosen, the City could use PHLA Cycle 2 Years 1 & 2 funds of approximately $226,857 to continue 12 dedicated beds at BCNC which would require General Funds for the remaining balance of $488,143. If additional General Funds are needed, staff could return at mid-year cycle to request the required additional $488,143.

Annual Total $488,758 $715,000
Average Cost Per Bed $40,730 $59,583
Bed Cost Per Night $112 $163
On August 25, 2026, Vista’s City Council approved the continuance of the BCNC for one (1) year, through December 31, 2027, with the intent of utilizing their capital improvement budget if grants and philanthropic funds are not received. The motion also included their intent to operate all 48 beds—taking over the 12 beds reserved exclusively for Encinitas’ unhoused residents. Following review of the Santa Fe House master lease and the Retread operations contract, the Encinitas City Attorney determined that contractually Encinitas could continue operating the 12 dedicated beds if that was City Council’s direction and funds were appropriated.

To continue BCNC for one year, coordination with Vista would be required to continue the shared operations with Encinitas maintaining 12 dedicated beds and Vista maintaining 36 beds. It is unclear if Vista is willing to continue the partnership of operating BCNC as Vista’s City Council’s August 25, 2026, motion included Vista operating all 48 beds.

B. Exclusive Use of up to 12 SDRM Shelter Beds
SDRM is contracted with the City to provide Homeless Response Services including street outreach, housing navigation efforts, and maintenance of a local By-Name List (BNL) for individuals experiencing homelessness. SDRM enhances the City’s ability to coordinate resources throughout the County, improve data-driven decision-making, and connect unsheltered residents to permanent housing solutions through a collaborative, personcentered approach.

Between November 24, 2025, and June 30, 2026, SDRM actively utilized its network of programs to facilitate placements, including South County Lighthouse and Mission Academy.

During this period, 204 unduplicated individuals were listed on the BNL, and a total of 101 placements were made (including duplicates). Placement outcomes included 15 permanently housed and 86 individuals placed in temporary housing including shelters and institutional centers. SDRM has high placement success in part by having exclusive use and access to 2026-09-16 Item #12C Page 7 of 11
their existing shelters and programs, including the South County Lighthouse and Mission Academy. The partnership with SDRM has resulted in SDRM providing unhoused individuals in Encinitas with direct access to valuable services and facilities throughout the County at no additional cost to the City.

Staff have been coordinating with SDRM about the potential exclusive use of up to 12 beds in their South County Lighthouse shelter located in National City. SDRM informed staff that the National City shelter active bed count went from 162, as reported in April 2026, to 125 active beds but there is a total capacity of 165. In addition, SDRM indicated the year-long Mission Academy rehabilitation program restructured some of the rooms and this program can now accommodate families with children. With this reconfiguration of beds and ability to serve families, the Mission Academy program increased capacity by 28 and can now serve 228 clients including children, which BCNC does not accommodate. As of August 4, 2026, SDRM indicated the cost to have exclusive use of 12 beds for Encinitas’ unhoused at the SDRM shelter would be $87 per bed per night and the City would only be charged for the actual nights the beds were utilized. The City would not be charged if the beds were not occupied, and Encinitas would still be guaranteed exclusive use of 12 beds. Assuming all 12 beds were utilized all 365 nights of the year, which is unlikely to happen based on data from BCNC, the maximum cost of the exclusive use of 12 beds would be $381,060 per year or approximately $31,700 per bed; whereas BCNC annual cost per bed would be approximately $59,583 which is a savings of $27,883 per bed annually. Under this option, the City would still have access to all the San Diego regional shelter network beds because SDRM and the City are part of the HMIS trusted network which allows access to all countywide resources.

If this option is chosen, the City could use PHLA Cycle 2 Years 1 & 2 funds of approximately $226,857 to secure 12 dedicated beds at South County Lighthouse which would require General Funds for the remaining balance of $154,203. If additional General Funds are needed, staff could return at mid-year cycle to request the required additional $154,203.

The National City shelter is located approximately 30 miles from the Encinitas City Hall, whereas the BCNC shelter is located approximately 20 miles from the Encinitas City Hall.

SDRM also indicated they are actively pursuing a site to establish a shelter in North County and once that happens, Encinitas’s exclusive use of up to 12 beds would be transferred to the North County shelter as SDRM understands the desire of some clients to remain in North County close to their families and social networks.

SDRM recently informed City staff that the organization is now a certified CalAIM provider.

CalAIM is a statewide Med-Cal transformation initiative designed to treat the whole person by integrating physical health, behavioral health, and social services. As a CalAIM provider, SDRM can connect eligible clients to specialty medical care, behavioral health supports, and a range of Enhanced Care Management and Community Support services including housing transition assistance and tenancy-sustaining services.

Therefore, SDRM is now able to connect Encinitas residents experiencing homelessness to CalAIM Community Supports and Enhanced Care Management, leveraging a proven structure already operating in unincorporated areas to provide long-term, cost-effective stabilization and housing-related services. This is a new service for Encinitas’ unhoused individuals that has not been offered by previous homeless service providers and, through the City’s contract with SDRM, will be offered at no additional cost to the City. This CalAIM model also reduces the overall cost of homeless services SDRM is currently providing the City by shifting some of the costs to CalAIM instead of the City. Therefore, this model will result in a reduction in costs for certain local services, allowing additional homeless services under the existing SDRM contract.

PLHA Cycle 2 Funding Application
PLHA Cycle 2 has a five-year funding period, similar to Cycle 1, and is a non-competitive application process, meaning the funds are allocated to Encinitas and there is not a Housing First requirement tied to this funding. Encinitas’ estimated five-year total allocation is $684,575, with $226,857 accessible upon application approval and can be expended in the first year. Years 3-5 will be released at a future date. In addition, PLHA Cycle 2 does not require a financial or in-kind match; the only requirement is City Council authorization to direct staff to submit an application.

PLHA funds provide homeless services including offering voluntary services such as personal care, Homeless Court advocacy, medical care, and specialized classes on healthy habits, boundaries, anger management, and substance use recovery. PLHA eligible funding activities that align with the City Council Work Plan and Homeless Action Plan include street outreach and operating low barrier navigation centers and emergency shelters serving individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness with incomes up to 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) with supportive or case management services.

Table 5
PLHA Cycle 2 Funding Total
Year 1 $109,532
Year 2 $117,325
Years 3-5 $457,718
5-Year Total $684,575
PLHA Cycle 2 funds could be used to help fund a portion of the cost for up to 12 dedicated beds at SDRM’s National City South County Lighthouse shelter or BCNC.

Other City Council Direction
Provide staff with direction regarding any other potential shelter options, and/or funding allocation for effective implementation of homeless services to meet the needs of the unhoused residents in Encinitas utilizing existing resources and available funding opportunities. 2026-09-16 Item #12C Page 9 of 11
