Chuck Flacks, Homelessness Services Coordinator
SUBJECT: September 25, 2023 Homelessness Issues Standing Committee Meeting ______________________________________________________________________ Item I. Public Comment (5 minutes)
Item II. Consider a Service Agreement for Four Interim Housing Beds with Good Samaritan Shelter, Hedges House of Hope (30 minutes)
Recommendation:
Recommend to the full Council an Agreement between City of Goleta and Good Samaritan Shelter for the reservation of four beds at Hedges House of Hope beginning January 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025 in an amount not to exceed $144,144, and the termination of the contract with PATH with a transfer funds allocated to PATH to Good Samaritan for this Agreement.
Background and Discussion:
The City of Goleta’s Homelessness Strategic Plan, adopted on April 20, 2021, places a high priority on moving people from places not fit for human habitation including vehicles, encampments, and city streets into permanent housing. To encourage people experiencing homelessness to move from their current living situations, the City Council has invested significant resources in providing outreach and accommodation for them.
See the comprehensive history of funding for homelessness programs and services in Attachment 1, Item II.
An ongoing investment continues to be the reservation of two shelter beds with homelessness services and housing navigation at PATH Santa Barbara, a 100-bed facility located in downtown Santa Barbara. The City has maintained a contract for these beds since December 1, 2019.
During the COVID pandemic, the capacity of the region’s shelters was significantly diminished as homeless shelters reduced their bed counts to prevent spread of the virus.
As a result, there were more people living in encampments in various parts of the City.
The City Council responded purposefully in August of 2021, by awarding a $530,565 2 contract to City Net for outreach and hotel-based interim housing. The contract included $302,000 for motel room rentals ($200/night x 5 rooms x 302 nights). This investment proved to be successful as eight (8) people were placed in hotels who eventually moved on to housing.
Since the onset of the pandemic, the County of Santa Barbara has been committed to closing the gap between unsheltered homeless people and the total shelter capacity.
Their plan is to build a total of 463 new units in non-congregate shelters across the region.
Part of that commitment included the purchase, rehabilitation, and ongoing funding of a new shelter, Hedges House of Hope (Hedges) at 6549 El Colegio Road in Isla Vista. The County of Santa Barbara continues to contract with Good Samaritan Shelter for the management and service delivery at Hedges. This 45-bed (eventually 50-bed) facility is lower density than PATH, with fewer people in a room. Supportive services there are managed closely by Good Samaritan and include housing navigation, substance abuse, mental health, and soon culinary training.
Staff is now proposing to contract with Hedges which is geographically much closer to Goleta than the PATH facility. There are three main reasons for engaging in a service agreement with Hedges, and possibly ending the current relationship with PATH. They include proximity, performance, and cost savings. The PATH contract expires at the end of December 2023, as such, there is an opportunity to transition to Hedges effective January 1, 2024.
Proximity - Hedges is the closest interim housing to the City of Goleta. Current experience with the City’s outreach efforts with City Net have shown that many people would rather not go all the way to downtown Santa Barbara to PATH. They consider the Goleta/Isla Vista area home, and do not want to lose their connection to their community.
When spaces have been available at Hedges, City Net has had a much easier time encouraging people to take advantage of housing there.
Performance – Ultimate performance of interim housing is best judged by the movement of people from interim housing to permanent housing. The City of Goleta has been contracting for interim housing with PATH for four years. In that time, no one who has been referred to PATH has found permanent housing. By contrast, over 30 people with connections to Hedges (some who are currently residing there) are currently verified as eligible to obtain housing at the 59-unit Buena Tierra project (former Motel 8 near Hollister and Fairview Avenues) when it is complete.
A side-by-side performance comparison between PATH and Hedges shows clear differences in outcomes. Based on the data from the Homelessness Management Information System from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023:
• PATH exited 350 people from their facility. Of these only 32 people exited to permanent positive destinations or less than 10%.
• Hedges exited 59 people during the same period. Of these, 20 or 34% exited to permanent positive destinations.
3 Note: Clients are exited from both shelters for behavioral problems including violence, persistent disruptive actions, consuming drugs or alcohol on the premises, among other behaviors. Many clients also leave voluntarily.
Cost Savings: One of the primary tools that City Net (the City’s outreach provider) used between 2020 and 2023 was moving people from encampments to hotel rooms. At an average cost of $200 per night, the monthly cost per person of housing someone in this manner is $6,000 per month. As mentioned above, City Net spent over $300,000 of its contract on hotel rooms, housing as many as eight people at a time. While this tool is still an option for City Net, the cost of $66 per night for Hedges is a 70% savings from $200.
While the cost of Good Samaritan services is equivalent to PATH, the performance benefit results in a three-times greater likelihood that someone will be placed in housing from Hedges than from PATH’s shelter. It is anticipated that the agreement with Good Samaritan would begin on January 1, 2024, and run through the remainder of FY 2023/24 as well as the entire FY 2024/25, ending on June 30, 2025 (see draft agreement, Attachment 2, Item II).
Other Options:
Council Funding Options Number
of beds
Cost (Current Budget for
other services is $50,000)
Fund Both PATH and Hedges 6 Annual: $144,450
Fund Hedges 4 Annual: $96,360
Fund PATH 2 Annual: $48,180
The Hedges Contract would be a total of 18 months from 1/1/2024-6/30/2025: $144.414 The PATH Contract expires 12/31/2023. There will be an estimated $8,000 remaining in the PATH Purchase Order.
Item III. Review and Comment on Draft Dashboard of Homelessness Services Coordination Activities July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. (20 minutes) (See attached Dashboard Draft – Attachment 3, Item III) At the request of Councilmember Stuart Kasdin, staff created a set of charts that show participation numbers, participation by residence type, and housing placement rates for people experiencing homelessness in Goleta from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.
Item IV. Discussion of People Living in Vehicles and Strategic Initiatives The 2023 Point in Time Count results (conducted in late January 2023) showed that Goleta reported 136 homeless people on the morning of the count. Of these, according to the New Beginnings outreach teams, 74% or 101 people were living in vehicles.
In the past six months, the City’s Homelessness Services Coordinator has received approximately 20 requests for service from residents concerned about people living in vehicles. One resident spoke at public comment and presented dozens of photographs of commercial vehicles and vehicles being used as residences on Pacific Oaks Drive and 4 Phelps Road. The primary areas of reporting were Phelps Road and Pacific Oaks Drive and Ekwill Street (East of Highway 217) and Ward Drive. Anecdotally, staff have observed 15-20 vehicles on any given night around the intersection of Phelps and Pacific Oaks.
Vehicles begin arriving around 5:30 P.M. and leave in the morning to avoid parking enforcement.
Members of City Council have forwarded direct correspondence from at least two residents with concerns about public health and safety caused by people living in vehicles. Concerns include indecent exposure, public urination, and defecation, dumping trash and other debris, intimidating behaviors, blocking sidewalks, and having open-air barbecues on public property.
Current City action involves both parking enforcement and a relationship with a homelessness service provider, New Beginnings Counseling Center’s Safe Parking Program.
Parking enforcement is limited in scope; however, with increased reporting, parking enforcement has resulted in vehicles being towed if parked for over 72 hours pursuant to Goleta Municipal Code (“GMC”) 10.04.010, and a general scattering of vehicles after 8:00 a.m. on weekdays. Section 10.04.040 of the GMC states that “No person shall park any vehicle, recreational vehicle or trailer upon any street, highway, right-of-way or any public property within the City for the purposes of using said vehicle or trailer for sleeping, camping or occupancy.” o Current enforcement of this ordinance is limited to enforcement of parking behavior. The Sheriff’s Department has deferred enforcement of camping laws to the City (Departments of Neighborhood Services and Public Works). New Beginnings Counseling Center’s (NBCC) Safe Parking program is a national evidence-based model that is quite successful at moving people from living in their vehicles to permanent housing through a combination of rental support, housing navigation, and the provision of quiet, safe lots for people to live in during their transition time.
o The City’s support of Safe Parking included $11,989 in CDBG funding for FY 22/23. In FY 23/24, NBCC was given $10,000 in City Grants funding. o Safe Parking operates their program on City-owned lots, and at least one church site in undisclosed locations.
Over the past six months, the Homelessness Services Coordinator has requested outreach from the Safe Parking program to people living in their vehicles at multiple sites.
Due to limited staff resources, the outreach efforts have been on-demand, not continuous.
In most cases, Safe Parking staff leave information about their program for the residents.
Anecdotally, people living in vehicles have reported reluctance about participating in Safe Parking for the following reasons:
5 Rules – most Safe Parking lots require that residents be in their lot at a certain hour in the evening, be out of the lot in the morning, and comply with rules about behavior including making noise, consumption of alcohol or drugs, among others. Vehicle Condition – The Safe Parking program requires that vehicles be in working order, with proper license and permits. Some people are unable or unwilling to comply with these requirements.
Housing Navigation – Like any homeless shelter, the Safe Parking program is designed to help people move out of their vehicles into housing. For some people living in their vehicles, their living situation (no rent, mobility, etc.) is preferable to the responsibilities and expense of permanent housing.
Service Resistance – A subset of people experiencing homelessness have either a history of bad experiences with service providers and/or a history of mental health issues that make them especially leery about compliance and cooperation with an organized program.
Lack of Housing - Staff discussions with people experiencing homelessness living in vehicles at the Showers of Blessing sites have revealed that some people living in vehicles have been on waiting lists for months or years and feel frustrated with the lack of real housing alternatives in the region.
Proposed Solutions
Increased Parking Enforcement – Current city ordinances (Chapter 10.04.40 in particular) prohibit camping in one’s vehicle on public roads, city-owned property, and private property with exceptions. One possible solution to this problem is enforcing existing law. Staff have made inquiries to the City Attorney about whether Boise V. Martin applies to vehicles. If it does, the City may need to amend the GMC with language that complies with the findings in Boise.
On Phelps Road, the entire north side of the street from Cannon Green to Storke Road is a no parking zone due to a bike lane. One idea is to increase the areas of restricted parking. One resident (in public comment) suggested a parking permitting system (like the Halloween and Deltopia periods) that would limit on-street parking to those with permits. This would be similar to the residential parking permit districts in the city of Santa Barbara.
Public Works staff have also discussed the possibility of limiting parking access on Phelps Road through structural changes such as boulders and fencing, striping, or conversion of the natural mulch pathway to a curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
Increased Safe Parking Offerings and Outreach – City staff are currently in discussions with the Safe Parking program to increase its offering of space and program management in the City of Goleta and to experiment with alternatives that might prove more attractive.
Also under consideration is more coordinated and consistent outreach to people living in vehicles.
Item V. Discussion of the status of an application to the California Interagency Council on Homelessness California Encampment Relief Fund Round 2, Window 3 grant program (10 minutes)
6 On June 30, 2023, Neighborhood Services submitted a grant proposal to the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal-ICH) as part of their Encampment Relief Fund grant cycle (ERF-2-R, Window 3). Neighborhood Services was encouraged to apply by the County of Santa Barbara’s Homelessness Services Division as a partner to their recently awarded $6 million grant from the same funding source.
On September 12, 2023, Neighborhood Services learned (from the County of Santa Barbara) that the Goleta grant was not recommended for funding. Neighborhood Services understands that in December there will be the opportunity to reapply for these funds.

Neighborhood Services Department and Good Samaritan Shelter
satisfied by a non-owned and hired auto endorsement to Service Provider’s commercial general liability policy.

Coverage shall apply to any and all liability arising out of the work performed or related to the contract. Additional insured status under the general liability requirement shall be provided on Insurance Services Office Form CG 20 10, with an edition date prior to 2004, or its equivalent.

Neighborhood Services Department and Good Samaritan Shelter
f) No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this AGREEMENT shall prohibit CONSULTANT, or CONSULTANT’s
employees, or agents, from waiving the right of recovery prior to a loss. CONSULTANT waives its right of recovery against CITY. g) CONSULTANT agrees to deposit with CITY within fifteen days of Notice to Proceed of the Contract certificates of insurance and required endorsements.
h) There shall be no recourse against CITY for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect to the insurance required to be provided by CONSULTANT hereunder. Any failure, actual or alleged, on the part of CITY to monitor compliance with these requirements will not be deemed as a waiver of any rights on the part of CITY. CITY has no additional obligations by virtue of requiring the insurance set forth herein. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONSULTANT payments.
i) CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSULTANT arising out of the work performed under this AGREEMENT. CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.
11. RELATIONSHIP OF CONSULTANT TO CITY
The relationship of the CONSULTANT to CITY shall be that of an independent contractor and that in no event shall CONSULTANT be considered an officer, agent, servant or employee of CITY. CONSULTANT shall be solely responsible for any workers compensation insurance, withholding taxes, unemployment insurance, and any other employer obligations associated with the described work.
12. CORRECTIONS
In addition to the above indemnification obligations, CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work that may be disclosed during CITY's review of CONSULTANT's report or plans. Should CONSULTANT fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by DocuSign Envelope ID: 2077FBA8-959E-4426-AF5A-40C1DC5BBE06 City of Goleta
Neighborhood Services Department and Good Samaritan Shelter
CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONSULTANT or withheld from any funds due to CONSULTANT hereunder.
13. TERMINATION BY CITY
CITY, by notifying CONSULTANT in writing, may upon 10 calendar days notice, terminate without cause any portion or all of the services agreed to be performed under this AGREEMENT. If termination is for cause, no notice period need be given. In the event of termination, CONSULTANT shall have the right and obligation to immediately assemble work in progress for the purpose of closing out the job. All compensation for actual work performed and charges outstanding at the time of termination shall be payable by CITY to CONSULTANT within 30 days following submission of a final statement by CONSULTANT unless termination is for cause. In such event, CONSULTANT shall be compensated only to the extent required by law.
14. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT CONSTITUTES RELEASE
The acceptance by CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this AGREEMENT shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished, or relating to CONSULTANT'S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY's check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within 10 calendar days of the receipt of that check.
However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONSULTANT, its employees, subcontractors, agents and CONSULTANTs for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONSULTANT, its employees, subcontractors, agents and consultants.
15. AUDIT OF RECORDS
At any time during normal business hours and as often as it may deem necessary, CONSULTANT shall make available to a representative of CITY for examination of all its records with respect to all matters covered by this AGREEMENT and will permit CITY to audit, examine and/or reproduce such records. CONSULTANT will retain such financial records, time sheets, work progress reports, invoices, bills and project records for at least two years after termination or final payment under this AGREEMENT.

Neighborhood Services Department and Good Samaritan Shelter
time for which such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to demand strict compliance by such other party in the future. No waiver by a party of a default or breach of the other party shall be effective or binding upon such party unless made in writing by such party, and no such waiver shall be implied from any omissions by a party to take any action with respect to such default or breach. No express written waiver of a specified default or breach shall affect any other default or breach, or cover any other period of time, other than any default or breach and/or period of time specified. All of the remedies permitted or available to a party under this AGREEMENT, or at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and alternative, and invocation of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver or election of remedies with respect to any other permitted or available right of remedy.
17. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
CONSULTANT is unaware of any CITY employee or official that has a financial interest in CONSULTANT'S business. During the term of this AGREEMENT and/or as a result of being awarded this AGREEMENT, CONSULTANT shall not offer, encourage or accept any financial interest in CONSULTANT'S business by any CITY employee or official.

Exhibit A
Scope of Work
This exhibit has been developed to provide general information about Good Samaritan Shelter’s Hedges House of Hope program and the referral of potential clients from the City of Goleta.
Hedges House of Hope Program Overview
Hedges House of Hope (HHH) is an interim housing program that offers lowbarrier interim housing, meaning sobriety or participation in services is not required as a prerequisite for participation. HHH’s model combines two evidencebased approaches—peer support and Harm Reduction—which it uses alongside recovery principles, motivational interviewing, and kinship. To meet its clients’ basic needs, Good Samaritan shall provide them with clean beds, nutritious meals, and access to restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities. HHH staff use a “whatever it takes” approach, meeting clients where they are and tailoring their approach for each individual. Good Samaritan’s person-centric process maximizes each individual’s physical, economic, and emotional well-being, offering the stability they need to obtain and retain permanent housing.
Hedges House of Hope shall provide four dedicated interim housing beds reserved for individuals experiencing homelessness in the City of Goleta.
Referrals of prospective residents are set forth below. Beds will be charged at a rate of $66 per bed per night, based on usage, and unused nights shall not be charged. The total cost of $96,360 includes four beds charged at $66 per day for 365 days per year. Residents shall be housed at HHH’s housing facility located at 6549 El Colegio Road in the city of Goleta. Good Samaritan shall assist referred individuals through the following services, amenities, and activities:
• Interim Housing: All clients shall have access to showers, three daily meals, and other basic resources that elevate their overall health and quality of life. In addition, all residents of the interim shelter shall be connected to a comprehensive continuum of homeless services designed to help them find permanent housing and employment.
• Case Management: Good Samaritan Shelter shall provide case management services to all individuals referred to the program. Case managers shall provide a network of support that clients/residents can rely on as they overcome the challenges imposed by homelessness.
Understanding that each individual has different needs, goals, and obstacles to address, Good Samaritan’s case managers will create individualized service plans (ISPs) and work with clients to identify their housing-oriented goals and action steps. ISPs are developed in close DocuSign Envelope ID: 2077FBA8-959E-4426-AF5A-40C1DC5BBE06 City of Goleta
Neighborhood Services Department and Good Samaritan Shelter
collaboration between the client and case manager to ensure each plan is person-centered. The case manager shall also help clients/residents navigate the system of homeless services to ensure more streamlined access to essential resources (e.g., medical and mental health care, substance use services, benefits advocacy and enrollment, etc.) either onsite or through Good Samaritan’s partner agencies. HHH’s staff are trained in best practices and evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing; Harm Reduction; Wellness Recovery Action Planning; and SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR). • Employment Services: Upon program intake, case manager shall assess each individual’s ability and willingness to obtain employment.
Employment specialists shall conduct a career and vocational skills assessment and work with clients to develop their Individualized Employment Plan (IEP). Additional supportive services include resume development support and review; one-on-one practice interviews; access to a full-service computer lab with computers, fax machines, and printing services; skill-building workshops and trainings; linkages to community resources (e.g., job alumni clubs); coordination with vocational rehabilitation services; life skills and money management support; and supplementary items such as work appropriate clothing, shoes, bus tokens, and more.
• Health and Wellness: To tackle health-related issues within the homeless population, Good Samaritan shall collaborate with city, county, and nonprofit agencies as appropriate. Good Samaritan addresses client’s mental health needs by linking them to mental health and substance use services and coordinates medical treatment through the partnership with Santa Barbara County Public Health Department. Through these programs, Good Samaritan aims to fill the gap in care for those who are experiencing physical and mental illness to a degree that impedes their livelihood.
• Substance Use Treatment: Good Samaritan’s case managers shall work alongside clients to help determine if they are in need of and interested in accessing substance use treatment services. Using Housing First and Harm Reduction models, Good Samaritan does not require sobriety or treatment as a condition of service. However, case managers will consistently encourage clients to access the resources and support that will help them achieve stability in a permanent home once that occurs.
Good Samaritan can also provide immediate intervention at the Santa Barbara Sobering Center.
• Restorative Justice Coordination: Good Samaritan’s case managers shall work closely with the Santa Barbara County Public Defender to find DocuSign Envelope ID: 2077FBA8-959E-4426-AF5A-40C1DC5BBE06 City of Goleta
Neighborhood Services Department and Good Samaritan Shelter
alternatives to incarceration for program clients. To support clients as they exit the criminal justice system, the case manager shall also accompany individuals to their appointments and assist as needed. • Housing Search and Placement: Good Samaritan Shelter’s housing navigators shall cultivate relationships with landlords and property management companies to identify appropriate housing opportunities for its clients. Good Samaritan Shelter’s housing navigators shall conduct robust outreach and engagement (e.g., networking events, collateral distribution, etc.) to landlords throughout the County, increasing the stock of available affordable housing for clients of Good Samaritan and other agencies.
Referring Potential Clients Protocol
For the proposed program and four beds reserved under this MOU, Good Samaritan Shelter shall prioritize serving individuals experiencing homelessness in the City of Goleta. Good Samaritan shall accept client referrals from the City of Goleta, as well as through the Coordinated Entry System and other community partners serving homeless individuals from Goleta.
