CPMS
Agenda Item A.14

CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: June 17, 2025
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
SUBMITTED BY: JoAnne Plummer, Neighborhood Services Director PREPARED BY: Chuck Flacks, Homelessness Services Coordinator SUBJECT: Award of Contracts for Interim Housing
RECOMMENDATION:

A. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement between City of Goleta and PATH for the reservation of two beds for interim housing at PATH Santa Barbara (PATH) for 24 months from July 1, 202 5, to June 30, 2027, in an amount not to exceed $97,820; and
B. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement between City of Goleta and Good Samaritan Shelter for the reservation of four beds for interim housing at Hedges House of Hope (Hedges) for 24 months from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, in an amount not to exceed $195,640.

BACKGROUND:

Following City Council approval on December 1, 2019, the City of Goleta has contracted with PATH Santa Barbara to provide two interim housing beds at $66.00 per nigh t per bed.

On September 25, 2023, the Homelessness Issues Standing Committee considered the City of Goleta’s investment in shelter for people living in encampments. While shelter stays do not guarantee housing, the Standing Committee recognized the value of finding alternatives to encampments prior to any clearing.

On November 7, 2023, the City Council approved a Service Agreement with PATH Santa Barbara for two interim housing beds and with Hedges for four interim housing beds at the same rates. These contracts expire on June 30, 2025.

Homelessness continues to be a problem in Goleta. The most recent By Name List data from March 2025 identifies 72 people currently residing in encampments. 1 Meeting Date: June 17, 2025

DISCUSSION:

The need for interim housing for Goleta residents is significant. There are 100 units of permanent supportive housing at Heritage Ridge in Goleta , and 23 units of permanent supportive housing at Patterson Point (Goleta border) under construction. However, there is no local option for someone who needs placement immediately. The process of moving into a unit can take months, therefore having interim housing is a vital component of moving someone from the streets into a permanent home.

Currently, 63 Goleta r esidents reside in interim shelter at either PATH or Hedges. The City of Goleta contracts four (4) beds at Hedges and two (2) beds at PATH, so the need far exceeds the ability of the City to provide beds. The funding requested in this renewed contract provides an offset for the providers who continue to shelter residents of Goleta experiencing homelessness.

As permanent housing is difficult to obtain, and interim housing programs suffer from high staff turnover and residents with behavioral problems, the s uccess rate of moving into permanent housing from interim housing is often below 50%. However, the alternative of living on the streets creates more health hazards and harm to both the individual experiencing homelessness and the surrounding community.

The new service agreements for both PATH and Hedges include specific requirements that all residents using City-contracted beds must receive high -quality and consistent case management. The agreements also specify monthly meetings with the Homelessness Services Coordinator to track client progress and solve problems as they arise.

GOLETA STRATEGIC PLAN:

The City of Goleta 2023-2025 Strategic Plan identifies initiatives to end homelessness as follows:

City-Wide Strategy : 2. Support Community Vitality and Enhanced Recreational Opportunities

Strategic Goal : 2.1 Provide community development for neighborhoods and social welfare assistance for disadvantaged and/or marginalized groups. Specifically, 2.1.1.

Implement the Homelessness Strategic Plan to prevent homelessness in the City and to address those at risk of experiencing homelessness, including homeless veterans, youth, seniors, individuals, families, and the vehicular homeless.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The service agreements with PATH and Hedges specify that b eds will only be charged when occupied. Monthly invoices will reflect beds occupied per day.

2 Meeting Date: June 17, 2025

The proposed Fiscal Year 2025/26 (FY 25/26) budget allocates funding for Professional Services which includes coordination and evaluation of services and interim housing. This line item identifies funding for FY 25/26. The proposed cost for PATH ($48,1 80) and for Hedges House of Hope ($96,360) equals $144,540 for Year One.

The two proposed Service Agreements include a 3% cost of living adjustment for F iscal Year 2026/27 (FY 26/27) . This translates to both programs charging $68.00 per night.

The cost for PATH ($49,640) and for Hedges House of Hope ($99,280) results in a Year Two total of $148,920.

For the contract period, the cost for six beds would be:

Budget Number Program Amount Needed (Not
to Exceed) FY25/26
Amount to Be
Budgeted (Not to
Exceed) FY26/27
101-60-6200-
51200
PATH Two

$48,180
(365 days at $66/night)
$49,640

51200
Hedges
Four Beds
$96,360
(365 days at $66/night)
$99,280
(365 days at $68/night)
Total Not to
Exceed Amount
$144,540 $148,920

Approval of the two p roposed Service Agreements is subject to City Council’s adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025 -26 and Fiscal Year 2026 -27 City Operating Budget during its scheduled public hearing on June 17, 2025.

ALTERNATIVES:

Council could elect to allow the existing contract for two (2) beds with PATH and (4) beds at Hedges House of Hope to expire on June 30, 2025. This would eliminate any reserved beds available for shelter beginning July 1, 2025.

Council could provide direction to alter the contract to allocate fewer beds at either PATH, Hedges or both locations.

EXHIBIT A

Scope of Work

PATH’s interim housing program shall offer low -barrier interim housing, meaning sobriety or participation in services is not required as a prerequisite for participation. PATH’s model combines two evidence- based approaches —peer support and harm reduction—which it uses alongside recovery principles, motivational interviewing, and kinship to assist our residents in overcoming their obstacles. PATH shall provide individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness with clean beds, nutritious meals, and access to restrooms and showers. PATH’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.

PATH shall provide two dedicated interim housing beds reserved for individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness in the City of Goleta. Upon request by the City Project Manager, PATH shall provide additional shelter beds, subject to availability and demonstrated need.

Referrals of prospective participants are set forth below. Beds will be charged at a rate set forth in Exhibit B, Schedule of Fees. Participants shall be housed at PATH Santa Barbara’s interim housing facility located at 816 Cacique Street , Santa Barbara, CA.

PATH shall assist referred individuals through the following services, amenities, and activities:

1. Interim housing: All participants shall have access to showers, three daily meals, and other basic resources that elevate their overall health and quality of life. In addition, all participants of the interim housing program shall be connected to a comprehensive continuum of homeless services designed to help them find permanent housing.

2. Case management: PATH shall provide access to case management services to all individuals referred to the program. Case managers shall provide a network of support that participants can rely on as they overcome the challenges imposed by homelessness. Understanding that each individual has different needs, goals, and obstacles to address, PATH’s case managers will create individualized service plans (ISPs) and work with participants to identify their housing- oriented goals and action steps. ISPs will be developed in close collaboration between the participant and case manager to ensure each plan is person-centered. Case managers will also help participants navigate the system of homeless services to ensure more streamlined access to essential resources (e.g., medical and mental health Docusign Envelope ID: 56F4F40E-E813-4448-8409-10BA45AF147B 17 City of Goleta

care, substance use services, benefits advocacy and enrollment, etc.) either on-site or through PATH’s partner agencies. PATH Santa Barbara’s staff are trained in best practices and evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing; Harm Reduction; Wellness Recovery Action Planning; SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR).

3. Health and wellness: To tackle health- related issues within those experiencing homelessness, PATH shall collaborate with city, county, and nonprofit agencies as appropriate. An on- site medical clinic is operated Monday through Thursday through PATH’s partnership with the Sant a Barbara County Department of Public Health. PATH also has a robust medical respite program with Cottage Health. PATH addresses participants’ mental health needs by linking them to mental health and substance use services. Through these programs, PATH aims to fill the gap in care for those who are experiencing physical and mental illness to a degree that impedes their livelihood. In addition, PATH works with community partners to provide strategic “in -reach” in local hospitals and emerg ency rooms to connect individuals experiencing homelessness and who frequently utilize these services with more appropriate medical homes, services, and housing.

4. Substance use treatment: PATH’s case managers shall work alongside participants to help determine if they need and are interested in accessing substance use treatment services. Using Housing First and Harm Reduction models, PATH does not require sobriety or treatment as a condition of service. However, case managers will consistently encourage participants to access the resources and support that will help them achieve stability in a permanent home once that occurs.

5. Restorative justice coordination: PATH’s case manager shall work to support participants in finding alternatives to incarceration. To support participants as they exit the criminal justice system, the case manager shall also accompany individuals to their appointments and assist as needed.

6. Employment resources coordination: PATH partners with community organizations to provide resources for participants to enhance their employability. Our partners offer compensated opportunities for residents to develop soft skills.

7. Housing search and placement: PATH shall cultivate relationships with landlords and property management companies to identify appropriate housing opportunities for its program participants.

8. Reporting: Every quarter (four times per fiscal year) PATH staff shall meet with the City of Goleta's Homelessness Services Coordinator to case Docusign Envelope ID: 56F4F40E-E813-4448-8409-10BA45AF147B 18 City of Goleta

conference on the housing status of the PATH residents on Goleta beds.

While not a requirement of the program, the City of Goleta expects that each resident who is occupying a Goleta bed shall find a permanent housing placement within six months of enrollment.

In the event that PATH is unable to provide one of the two reserved shelter beds or must deny service, PATH shall immediately provide notice to the City as provided for in this Agreement, with attention to the City’s Project Manager and the City’s Community Resource Deputy, as soon as service is denied and include detailed information explaining the circumstances causing an inability to provide service.

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 low-barrier interim housing, meaning sobriety or participation in services is not required as a prerequisite for participation. HHH’s model combines two evidence- based 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 laundr y 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 collaboration between the client and case manager to ensure each plan is person- centered. The case manager shall also help clients/residents Docusign Envelope ID: F12705CD-2967-40FC-A494-E9F7D835FF64 34 City of Goleta

navigate the system of homeless services to ensure more streamlined access to essential resources (e.g., medical and mental healthcare, substance use services, benefits advocacy and enrollment, etc.) either on site or through Good Samaritan’s partner agenci es. 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 the client’s mental health needs by linking them to mental health and subs tance use services, and coordinates medical treatment through a partnership with the 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 need and are interested in accessing substance use treatment services. Using Housing First and Harm Reduction models, the Good Samaritan does not require sobriety or tr eatment 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 pr ovide 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 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 Docusign Envelope ID: F12705CD-2967-40FC-A494-E9F7D835FF64 35 City of Goleta
