STAFF REPORT
RE: Resolution Approving a Compensation and Benefits Program for Unrepresented Management
MEETING DATE: 11/19/2024
SUBMITTED BY: Kelly Buendia, Administrative Services Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL:
The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution approving a Compensation and Benefits Program for Unrepresented Management for the period of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Representatives from the City of Lakeport and the Unrepresented Management Group, comprising Executive Management and Mid-Management employees, have met and reached an agreement on a Compensation and Benefits Program. This agreement includes a cost of living adjustment (COLA) totaling 15% over a four-year period.
A recent salary survey revealed that many management positions had fallen significantly behind comparable roles in other jurisdictions, with some positions lagging as much as 23% behind the median. Salary data was gathered from similar agencies, including the cities of Clearlake, Cloverdale, Fort Bragg, Ukiah, Willits, and the County of Lake, which are considered relevant for comparison based on size and/or geographic proximity. Below is a summary of the survey outcomes.
Job Title
% Below
Market
Median
% Above

Compliance Coordinator II 6% $ 91,104.00
Finance Director 17% $150,271.00
Government Accountant 5% $ 75,676.00

Public Works Director 18% $144,462.00

Utilities Director 22% $152,559.00
Meeting Date: 11/19/2024 Page 2 Agenda Item # VI.F.
To ensure the City remains attractive to qualified candidates and retains its current employees, salary increases were necessary, all while being mindful of budget limitations. Following negotiations, both parties agreed to a longer-term contract, providing financial stability for the City and addressing the need for more competitive compensation for management.
This longer-term agreement is especially important given the recent economic pressures from high inflation, which have raised operational costs for the City and eroded employees' purchasing power.
The City recognizes the importance of offering fair compensation while maintaining fiscal responsibility. This four-year contract strikes a balance between these priorities and provides muchneeded stability.
Key Provisions of the Agreement:
1. COLA Adjustments:
o 4.5% increase effective July 1, 2024
o 3.5% increase effective July 1, 2025
o 4.5% increase effective July 1, 2026
o 2.5% increase effective July 1, 2027
2. Holiday Schedule:
o Addition of Juneteenth as an official holiday.
3. Retention Bonus:
o A one-time retention bonus of $1,000 will be provided to each employee in the December 13, 2024 paycheck.
4. Cell Phone Allowance:
o Elimination of the $80 per month cell phone allowance, replaced with an annual technology allowance of $1,000.
The attached Compensation and Benefits Program includes a detailed, strike-through version of the changes.
Should the City Council approve this item, the Administrative Services Director will bring back an updated Master Salary Schedule for approval at the next regular meeting.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt the proposed Compensation and Benefits Program with Unrepresented Management.
2. Direct staff to make modifications or revisions to the proposed Program.
3. Take no action or take action to approve the proposed Program.
FISCAL IMPACT FOR COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT:
None See Below Budgeted Item? Yes No
Budget Adjustment Needed? Yes No If yes, amount of appropriation increase: $ The estimated cost for the proposed MOU is outlined below. While salary schedule increases will impact payroll and benefit related costs in perpetuity, staff is providing the estimated cost increases for the years included in the contract. There are also one-time costs included in the budget estimates.

LCRHTF
Presented by Lisa Judd,
Deputy County Administrative Officer - Housing
Lake County Regional
Housing Trust Fund
• Lake County Regional Housing Trust Fund partners:
County of Lake, Clearlake and Lakeport.
• Dedicated to housing production, preservation and
related housing activities in Lake County.
• Offers a mechanism to make ongoing investment in
housing using both direct revenues and leveraged matching funds available from State and Federal sources allowing for an opportunity to increase housing supply in Lake County. • Provides “gap financing”- typically around 10% of the total project funding to fill the void funding between a senior lender, developer equity, tax credits, and other sources of funding which can make the difference
between a project moving forward or remaining
infeasible.
Benefits of a Regional
Housing Trust Fund
• Consistency: dedicated revenue streams create a
regular source of funds to invest in housing that is
not put at risk during the budget process.
• Leverage: By using matching funds available from
State and federal sources, available exclusively for
housing trust programs.
• Flexibility: allows Lake County to focus to design
their housing trust fund to meet the highest priority
local needs.
• Competitive Edge: ability to compete for restricted
State Funds, capitalize on shared information and
resources.
• Economic Multiplier: Housing trust funds can have
a significant impact on the local economy as it can
generate construction-related expenditures, increase
local wages and fees for the County and Cities.
LCRHTF Housing Activities
• New construction
• Preservation or rehabilitation of
existing housing
• Land acquisition for development of
affordable housing
• Promote housing innovations
• Create workforce housing
• Establishment of transitional,
supportive or permanent homeless
housing
Implementation Steps

Fund.
• Creation of the LCRHTF Administrative Guidelines and
Board of Trustees.
• Decisions are made by majority vote and not unanimous consensus.
• Identify priorities for LCRHTF based on the County’s
Housing Element, the Lake County Housing Action and
Implementation Plan (HAIP), as well as the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and respective City
Housing Plans.
• Obtain additional funding for the LCRHTF from matching opportunities, private donations, and dedicated revenue sources.
Trust Fund Revenue Sources
Current Funding for Lake County Housing Trust Fund
Currently Trust Fund 417 was created and currently has $2 million, with $1 million from ARPA, $1 million General Fund.
Proposed Revenue Sources:
CA Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funds: Remaining PLHA allotment for a total of $847,981.00. County of Lake Transient Occupancy Tax: provides a minimum of $100,000 ongoing revenue or 1/9th whichever is greater.
Clearlake: To be determined with a minimum $10,000.00 annual contribution. Lakeport: To be determined with a minimum $5,000.00 annual contribution. Private Sources: Contributions and donations

National Housing Trust Fund Program (NHTF) and Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF): Apply if offered in future time periods.
What can you Expect
Activities typically funded may include:
• Reduce the cost of borrowing: HTF’s can make
low-interest loans to both developers and first-time
buyers.
• Build Capacity: increase the ability of local
nonprofit developers to overcome the difficulties of
providing housing to the lowest income
households.
• Preserve and Maintain Affordable Housing: Offer
low-income homeowners’ resources to maintain
and repair their homes to preserve the supply of
affordable housing in the community.

sub-account(s) specifically for administrative
purposes.
• Enacting annual reporting procedures to
maintain and publish efforts for members’
jurisdiction to review.
• Establish procedures to allow member
jurisdictions to enter or leave the trust in the
future.
Administration
• It is anticipated that the County of Lake
will the organization authorized to
administer the LCRHTF.
• Administration includes holding,
investing, and managing the fund
account, with administrative costs
typically covered by a percentage of fees
collected for the LCRHTF.
• Administrative costs are typically capped
at 10% of the fund.
Best Practices
• NOFAs: Release NOFA’s on a consistent schedule.
This allows developers to anticipate the funds and
better plan for affordable housing projects.
• Collaboration: Establish strong relationships
between local jurisdictions.
• Point of Contact: foster open and strong
relationships with the development community.
Providing a developer a single point of contact
allows for a more streamlined process.
• Developer Portal: website that has current funding
opportunities, possible building sites, and other
housing related information that is helpful for a
developer when performing an analysis for a
development.
Regional Housing Trust Funds
create housing opportunities!
“The popularity and
proliferation of housing trust
funds is due to their
flexibility, sustainability, and
success in addressing
critical housing needs.”
Thank you!

City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 2
I. Introduction
The City of Lakeport (hereinafter referred to as the “City”) has embarked on a mission to develop a new Low-Barrier Navigation Center (hereinafter referred to as the “Center”). The plan is for the Center to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals experiencing homelessness; invigorate local neighborhoods and economies; curb crime and encourage businesses, and offer other public benefits, including improved public health, safety, and community engagement. The City plans to operate the Center in partnership with various community partners and stakeholders, including the County of Lake (hereinafter referred to as the “County”).
In December 2023, the City engaged Vanir Construction Management, Inc., (including its subconsultants, KMP Strategies Inc., and Development & Brokerage Group Inc., hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Vanir Team”) to perform a comprehensive feasibility study for the development of the Center (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”). First Project kick-off meeting was held in late January 2024 between the Vanir Team and pertinent members of the City as an introduction to the Project, and to discuss relevant aspects of the Project, including goals & objectives, expectations, roles & responsibilities, strategies, implementation, and general timeline.
The Vanir Team understands the impacts that homelessness may have on the City’s neighbors, public health and safety, economy, and its community at large. The Center aims to curb those impacts of homelessness and improve the community. In compliance with AB101, the Center will provide a Housing First, Low-Barrier facility with expedited admission, temporary, and service-oriented shelter. The Center will be focused on connecting the homeless individuals with jobs, services for mental health and substance abuse, as well as obtaining permanent housing and independence.
The Vanir Team has worked closely with the City, County, and other community organizations and stakeholders to conduct research, gather information, and prepare a feasibility study report to provide the city with a roadmap for developing the Center. The feasibility study report (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”) was developed through many activities including assessing the needs of the City, identifying potential sites for the Center, engaging the community and stakeholders, conducting financial analysis, developing a program plan, assessing potential impacts, and providing viable recommendations for a successful development of the Center.
II. Executive Summary
Cities across the country are facing a real issue of widespread homelessness that has been growing steadily at an alarming rate. Dealing with an increasing homeless population and struggling to move people off the streets into more stable living surroundings bring new challenges faced by many cities and states nationwide.
Low-Barrier Navigation Center offers a viable choice for providing a long-term solution to dealing with homelessness. It provides not only temporary room and board with limited barriers to entry but also provide case managers to connect homeless individuals and families to income through job placement, public benefits, mental and physical health services, DRAFT

substance abuse assistance and permanent housing opportunities. It is a long-term commitment to help transition the homeless individuals achieve independence.
The Center represents the City’s continuing commitment and diligent efforts to curb homelessness in its neighborhoods. As the City embarks on its mission to address many challenges surrounding homelessness, the city along with its community partners and stakeholders remain positive and committed to achieving functional zero homelessness.
Approach, Process and Findings
The feasibility study involved a series of research and investigations to find out the City’s needs.
The needs assessment involved research into gathering data and information on the extent of demographics of current homeless population; causes and impacts of homelessness in the area; forecast of future probable needs including projection of future homeless population based on population growth projections, historical data; and other relevant information available.
The Lake County Continuum of Care also provided 2024 Point-In-Time survey and data of the current homeless population. The homeless population was categorized into age, race/ethnicity, tribal affiliation, gender, households, homeless categories, health, first-time homeless, and length of time homelessness. These data were used to evaluate options, and to make recommendations about what the criteria and requirements should be for the Center such as the type of programs and services needed, physical requirements of the facility, and operational requirements among others.
One of the types of research involved assessing the causes and effects of homelessness in the city. This is a complex issue with deep roots embedded in many variables, such as lack of affordable housing, economic hardship whether due to unemployment or inflation, mental health struggles, substance abuse, and domestic violence. Knowing the cause and effects of a problem can help better understand how and what to do to fix the problem.
Based on the data and information collected, we made a reasonable forecast of future homeless projections and needs. Some of the data from needs assessment included population growth projections, historical Point-In-Time Counts, rental market data, and social service data.
There are, however, unforeseen events such as natural disasters, economic downturns, drastic increase in unemployment, and changes in government policy that attributes to rise in homelessness.
To effectively address the issue of homelessness in the City, a multi-faced approach needs to be implemented that involves direct services, support services, housing-first services, prevention services, collaboration, and partnerships. Direct services include emergency shelters, meal services, and essential needs distribution. Support services include case management, mental health and addiction services, employment assistance, and legal aid. Housing-first services may include housing Navigation, rental assistance programs, and supportive housing development.
Prevention services may include domestic violence support, affordable housing development, and eviction prevention programs. Collaboration and partnerships may include partnering with social service agencies, fundraising and grant opportunities, public awareness campaigns, and advocacy for policy changes.

With the data collected and programs developed, the physical needs of the Center are then defined. The physical space should not only be a shelter, but a place that fosters a sense of dignity, promotes self-sufficiency, and support the transition to permanent housing and independence. Evaluation of spaces includes essential amenities such as sleeping accommodations, hygiene facilities, laundry services, and dining facilities. It also includes supportive services spaces such as case management offices, multi-purpose room, computer lab, safety and security and site/parking. Other considerations include accessibility, sustainability, trauma-informed design, and programming spaces.
Engaging the Public and Stakeholders
A comprehensive outreach and engagement strategy to gather feedback from a diverse array of stakeholders was conducted as part of the feasibility study. Utilizing an open house forum, community surveys, small group and one-on-one meetings, we engaged with residents, local businesses, service providers, and the unhoused population. Our outreach efforts revealed overall support for the Center, with stakeholders emphasizing the need for accessible, lowbarrier services that address housing, mental health, and substance abuse. Key findings include strong advocacy for integrated support services and concerns about ensuring neighborhood safety and the long-term sustainability of the center. This feedback will be instrumental in shaping the final recommendations and ensuring the proposed Center meets the community’s needs effectively. For detailed findings and engagement data, please refer to the relevant sections in the Report.
Identifying Potential Sites and Development Strategies
Finding the right location, site and facilities are an essential part of successfully developing the Center. A thorough evaluation of potential sites and properties was conducted based on relevant criteria, such as the site size, existence of a re-usable structure, zoning, adjacent property zoning, zone ordinance restrictions, general plan designation and permitted use, proximity to flood zones, characteristics/terrain, existing City/County assets, proximity to public transit, proximity to social service centers, sensitivity to neighborhoods, available utility and services, site accessibility, and on-site parking availability. Each category was given a score based on the criteria. Each site was then graded based on the total scores accumulated, and recommendation given for the site that proved to be most suitable with the highest scores.
Total of 7 properties including 3 City-owned properties were considered, evaluated, and scored based on the program criteria. The pros and cons were also evaluated for each potential sites taking into consideration the most cost-effective solution based on comparing the options of renovating an existing facility, tearing down and rebuilding on an existing site, and building a new facility on a new site.
Based on the findings, one property is recommended that was considered best suited for the Center's development.
Please see Section IV and corresponding Appendices for details of the findings, scores, recommendations, and conceptual site plan.

Financial Analysis
Financial analysis was conducted to provide initial cost associated with planning and construction; cost to operate the Center; and explore potential sources of funding and revenues as well as financial projection from first year to several years to provide financial forecast along with risk analysis to identify potential risks and strategies to mitigate risks.
Initial cost of building the facility was evaluated, including purchasing, or leasing the land, constructing the building, and associated permits and/or licenses. Operational costs, such as utilities, maintenance, security, staff salaries, and supplies were examined. Cost of furnishing, bedding, and other essential items for the residents were considered. Additional costs such as insurance, marketing, and administrative expenses were also considered. Potential need for renovations or upgrades in the future and the associated costs were evaluated.
To turn the idea of the Center into reality, funding sources were explored and analyzed. A realistic funding plan was created that outlined the amount and timing of expected revenue from each source. Any gaps in funding were identified and strategies were developed to fill those gaps, such as seeking additional grants or partnerships with other organization. Potential for securing long-term funding through government contracts or partnership with social service agencies were also considered.
Because the nature of funding is often unpredictable, other sources of revenue to supplement operating cost were explored. Potential sources of revenue were identified such as government grants, private donations, corporate sponsorships, fundraising events, and community partnership. Expected revenue from each potential sources were then estimated considering any restrictions or limitations placed on the funds. Other potential opportunities for additional revenue were explored such as providing services and charging fees for job training programs or daycare services; subleasing space to other organizations; or renting out facilities for special events.
The need for financial projections is an important step in developing the Center. Budget projections were created for the first year of operation, detailing expected expenses and revenue. Projections for the following five years were also developed with consideration for any anticipated changes or growth in the program. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the impact of different variables, such as fluctuations in funding or changes in expenses. Once the Center is developed, the finance projections would need to be monitored and regularly updated based on actual performance and any changes in circumstances.
Lastly, potential risks and challenges that could impact the financial viability of the program were identified, such as changes in government funding or economic downturns. Strategies to mitigate these risks were developed such as diversifying revenue sources or implementing costsaving measures. Equally important is to regularly review and reassess the financial plan to identify any emerging risks or opportunities.

Project Schedule
Overall project schedule was developed that shows the timeline and phases of the Center development, including planning, design, contract procurement, construction, close-out, and move-in. The Center project will follow a well-defined schedule outlined in Appendix 8. This comprehensive plan details the various phases of development, from initial planning and design to construction, completion, and welcoming residents. To expedite the project and best serve the needs of the homeless population, a Design-Build delivery method is recommended. This approach streamlines the process by combining design and construction under one team. This fosters collaboration, potentially leading to a faster timeline compared to the traditional Design-Bid-Build method. Additionally, Design-Build allows for proactive identification and mitigation of construction challenges, potentially resulting in a more predictable final budget.
By following this well-defined schedule and utilizing the Design-Build method, the Center can be developed efficiently and effectively to address the critical issue of homelessness in the community.
Program Plan Development
Detailed program plan was developed that identifies the types of services and programs that will be offered in the Center. In addition to the City and County agencies providing the funds to develop the Center, the operation of the Center will be largely carried out through participation and services from community partners, philanthropic organizations, and stakeholders. Some of the services that will be provided at the Center are case management, temporary housing, temporary meals, limited health screening, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment and counseling, job training, educational program, job placement, and permanent housing allocation.
Specific objectives and results-oriented goals for each program and services are first determined. Schedule for offering those services is then developed considering the needs and preferences of the residents and the availability of staff. Partnerships with external service providers such as healthcare clinics, job placement agencies, and educational institutions are established to enhance the range of services available to residents.
Assessing Potential Impacts
As a result of developing the Center, there may be positive and negative potential impacts to the community, property value, and public safety. Positive community impact may be seen in the reduction of visible homelessness while some may express concerns regarding increased foot traffic and potential criminal activity near the Center.
It may have a positive impact on property value through revitalized community with less homeless on the streets which may improve the overall aesthetics and perception of the neighborhoods. Some residents may hold the perception that the Center near their neighborhood would have a negative impact to their property value.
In terms of public safety, the Center may have a positive impact by connecting homeless individuals with mental health and addiction treatment services, potentially leading to reduced crime rates. The same Center may also have the opposite effect on perception of some DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 7
residents who may fear increased crime due to the Center being in their neighborhood.
Improving public perception of the Center through public outreach is an essential part of developing the Center. This is done through public awareness programs such as public polls, and public townhall meetings to provide information that would positively improve their perception of the Center.
Conclusion & Recommendation
The process of developing the Center is a collaborative effort with participation from many organizations and stakeholders. It requires research, discussions, fact finding as well diligent efforts to be able to make the right choices and informed decisions.
We have highlighted the potential benefits of developing the Center, its positive impact on the community for curbing homelessness and improving public health and safety. Finding the right location for the Center is an important process that considers available real estate, cost, size, zoning, neighborhood, residents, commerce, and other physical and social factors. Engaging the public and stakeholders for their support both in finance and public relations and fostering positive perception and awareness of the Center is of paramount importance. Financial considerations with anticipated budget including initial and long-term operational costs are also an important process in the development of the Center. Operation of the Center requires a long-term planning based on the need, program, services, policies, and procedures, and required staffing. Addressing the need for mitigating potential negative impacts of the Center such as potential increasing crime, decreased property values, and negative public perception of the Center must be addressed and improved through public engagement and awareness.
One of the goals of the City is to achieve functional zero homelessness, meaning that anyone who desires shelter can access it through an array of City facilities and programs – an approach aimed at ending homelessness. Our recommendations will serve as the basis for the City to start planning for the new Center. The planning process will be a structured but a fluid process that allows participation and collaboration with the community.

IV. Approach, Process and Findings
A. Assessing the Need
Homelessness is a complex issue facing many communities, and Lakeport is no exception. This section aims to shed light on the current state of homelessness in Lakeport, including the extent and demographics of current homeless population, its causes and impacts, and forecast of future probable needs and future homeless population based on population growth projection, historical data, and other relevant data/information available.
Lake County, California (County) boasts a population of around 68,000 residents. The racial makeup leans predominantly White (approximately 64-66%), with a growing Hispanic population (approximately 9-13%). The median age is slightly higher than the national average (44.5 years old), and educational attainment is lower, with fewer residents holding college degrees. The median household income falls below the national average, which may reflect the area's economic struggles.
The City of Lakeport (City), the county seat of Lake County, encompasses 3.1 square miles of incorporated area combining residential, commercial, and industrial development, and has a population of approximately 5,135 residents (per 2021 Census estimate). The racial makeup is predominantly White (Non-Hispanic) at 79.2%, followed by Hispanic or Latino (of any race) at
18.6%. Other races, including African American, Asian, Native American, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, make up the remaining 7.8%. The median age of City’s residents is approximately 42.7 years, indicating a relatively young population. Children under 18 comprise
19.3% of the population, while seniors aged 65 and over account for 26.7%. It's important to note that population data suggests a slight decline between 2020 and 2022. While detailed information on income distribution and educational attainment is not readily available, this demographic overview provides a starting point for understanding the community the City serves. Homeownership rates appear higher compared to renters, though specific details regarding income or educational attainment are limited.
One of the primary datasets available on homelessness is data from the Point-in-Time (PIT) count. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires Continuums of Care (CoC), such as the County, to conduct a count on a single night of the people in a community who are experiencing homelessness, including sheltered and unsheltered populations. While HUD requires only a biannual count, the County traditionally conducts a PIT count every year. The County conducted its 2024 PIT count on January 25, 2024, and identified 527 persons experiencing homelessness within the County. The chart below shows the number of people experiencing homelessness and the corresponding living situation for those persons in the last five years from 2020 through 2024.
County of Lake PIT Count
2024 2023 2022 2021 2020
Total Emergency Sheltered 34 110 54 25 8
Total Transitional Sheltered 58 91 26 50 13

As illustrated above, after a downward trend beginning in 2021 through 2022, the number of people experiencing homelessness has been increasing. Note that unsheltered homelessness accounts for 28% increase in overall homelessness between 2023 and 2024. The Department of Housing and Urban Development defines unsheltered homeless situations as locations not meant for human habitation, including living on the streets, living in vehicles, and living in “alternative shelter options” (e.g., car camping, rest stops, Conestoga huts). The three main categories used to define homelessness are based on shelter status. Emergency sheltered refers to individuals or families using temporary public or private facilities like homeless shelters. Transitional sheltered describes those residing in programs designed as a bridge to permanent housing, often with supportive services. Finally, unsheltered refers to people experiencing homelessness who lack a fixed and safe nighttime residence, such as those living on the streets or in cars.
As part of the PIT count, communities must identify whether a person is an individual, a member of a family unit, or an unaccompanied youth under the age of 18. In addition, communities must identify if a person is chronically homeless, indicating that the person has experienced long-time or repeated homelessness and has a disability. The tables and graphs below provided in Appendix 1 detail the demographics of persons experiencing homelessness collected as part of the 2024 County PIT count.
The 2024 County PIT count paints a complex picture of the local homeless population. Here's a breakdown of the key findings:
• Age Distribution: While all age groups are represented, the largest portion falls between 35-64 years old at approximately 64%. This suggests a mix of predominantly middle-aged individuals facing homelessness at various stages of life. • Race and Ethnicity: The majority identified as white, highlighting a racial disparity in homelessness at approximately 67%. However, the presence of diverse tribal affiliations indicates a need for culturally sensitive services.
• Gender: The count revealed a predominantly male population experiencing homelessness at approximately 63% compared to females at approximately 36, with approximately 1% for others such as transgender and non-binary. This distribution of male and female is consistent with the national average in which the males tend to comprise approximately 2/3 of the homeless population.
• Households: Three types of households were surveyed - Households with at least 1 adult and 1 child, households with adults only, and households with children only. It showed that households with adults only comprised over 96% of the homeless population. • Homeless Categories: Types of homeless surveyed were those that are chronically homeless, veterans, and unaccompanied youth/parenting youth. Chronically homeless comprised of over 78% surveyed which is unfortunately typical of most homelessness as being a long-term and on-going issue affecting the County.
• Health: State of physical and mental health is a significant concern for all homeless individuals. Out of four types surveyed including mental illness, substance use disorder, HIV/AIDS, and domestic violence, mental illness topped the category with approximately 49%, trailed by substance use disorder at approximately 39%. These factors undoubtedly contribute to their homelessness and will require comprehensive support services.
DRAFT

October 22, 2024 11
• First Time Homeless: From two types of homeless population surveyed, those experiencing homelessness for the first time were approximately 41%, while those with past of recurring experience were approximately 59%. Alarming number of first-time homelessness emphasizes the importance of early intervention and diversion programs to prevent long-term homelessness.
• Length of Time Homeless this Time: Out of 6 categories, 0-3 months, 4-6 months, 7-11 months, 12-23 months, 24-35 months, and 36 months or more, almost half were those that has been homeless for 36 months or more.
• Other Reasons for Homeless: There were other causes of homelessness identified, including circumstances caused by the Lake County fire, and family members being incarcerated.
Also, as part of the 2024 Lake County PIT count, 263 unhoused were asked what their greatest needs at the time were. Below is a table showing those needs.
Greatest Needs # of responses
Low Income/Affordable Housing 118
Tiny Homes 97
Safe Parking/Encampments 85

This data highlights the multifaceted nature of homelessness in the County. The Center, with its focus on individual needs and supportive services, has the potential to make a positive impact for this vulnerable population.
1. Causes and Effects of Homelessness in the Area.
Homelessness casts a long shadow in Lakeport, CA. It's a complex issue with deep roots, and there's no single culprit to blame. Understanding the various contributing factors is crucial to finding solutions that can help those struggling to find a safe and stable place to call home.
Lake County, much like the entire state of California, has a shortage of affordable housing. The availability of housing that people on fixed incomes or low wage jobs can afford simply hasn't DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 12
kept pace with demand. The lack of affordable permanent housing increases the demand for temporary housing and other services such as meals, sanitation, and storage.
Economic hardship goes beyond the housing market. The County has faced significant economic challenges in recent years. Wildfires have caused widespread damage and displacement, disrupting lives and livelihoods. Rebuilding efforts take time, and the economic aftershocks can be long-lasting. Furthermore, inflation throws another wrench into the equation, putting a strain on already stretched budgets and making it even harder for people to afford housing.
Mental health struggles and substance abuse are another piece of the puzzle. These challenges can make it difficult to gain and keep employment, leading to a cycle of financial instability. Additionally, mental health issues can make it hard to navigate the complex systems needed to access support services and housing. People experiencing these challenges may find themselves trapped in a situation where stable housing seems out of reach.
Domestic violence can also play a tragic role. Fleeing an abusive situation often necessitates immediate shelter, but safe and affordable housing options may be scarce. Victims of domestic violence may lack a social safety net – a network of family, friends, or community resources – to help them secure housing and rebuild their lives. This can leave them particularly vulnerable to homelessness.
It's important to remember that these factors often don't exist in isolation. Someone facing just one challenge might be able to manage, but the combination of these issues can be overwhelming. Understanding these tangled roots of homelessness is crucial for developing effective solutions that address the economic realities, mental health needs, and social support systems that can help people find and keep stable housing in the City.
2. 7Forecasting Future Homeless Needs
Predicting the exact number of people experiencing homelessness in the City is inherently difficult. However, by analyzing data and identifying trends, we can make informed projections about the community's future needs and explore potential solutions, such as establishing the Center.
Data-Driven Needs Assessment
• Population Growth Projections: Population growth projections from the California Department of Finance can help estimate the potential increase in housing demand in the City. This data is crucial for understanding the pressure future growth might put on housing affordability.
• Historical Point-in-Time (PIT) Counts: As the City continues to take part in HUD's coordinated PIT count, historical data can offer valuable insights into trends within the homeless population. Analyzing this data reveals whether the homeless population is increasing, decreasing, or staying stagnant. This information is essential for planning targeted interventions.
• Rental Market Data: According to the California Housing Partnership, rents in Lake County have been increasing steadily since 2022. The income needed to afford the average rent in the county is $2,857/mo. or $16.58/hour. With the exception of the recently completed DRAFT

Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 13
Martin St. Apartments, there has been no significant multifamily or single-family developments in the area in the recent past. The lack of development keeps rents high and contributes to homelessness. A growing homeless population coupled with a shrinking pool of affordable housing suggests a potential crisis.
1,401 low-income renter households in Lake County do not have access to an affordable home.
State and federal funding for housing production and preservation in Lake County is $29 million, a 61% decrease from the prior year. 75% of extremely low-income (ELI) households in Lake County are paying more than half of their income on housing costs compared to 9% of moderate-income households. In 2023 in Lake County, there were only 336 beds available in the interim and permanent housing supply for persons experiencing homelessness.** This county data is directly applicable to City of Lakeport, and indicates the immediate need for additional affordable housing, additional funding for affordable housing and increased services to enable the homeless to utilize that housing once it becomes available to them. **Source: Lake County 2024 Affordable Housing Report
• Social Service Data: Data on utilization of mental health services, domestic violence shelters, and unemployment rates can pinpoint populations at a higher risk of homelessness.
By understanding these risk factors, the community can develop targeted prevention strategies to keep vulnerable individuals housed.
Data analysis from population growth projections, historical homeless counts, rental market trends, and social service utilization indicate a rise in people experiencing homelessness.
Advocating for affordable housing development and developing preventative strategies to keep vulnerable individuals housed will ultimately make the Center a more sustainable and impactful force in tackling homelessness within the community.
Challenges and Considerations
Obtaining relevant data, particularly local homeless count information is dependent on an accurate PIT count. Additionally, unforeseen events like wildfires, economic downturns, or changes in government policy can significantly impact homelessness rates, introducing an 250

element of uncertainty into any projections. It is important to acknowledge that any projections will be estimates, not guarantees.
Projected Future Needs and Navigation Center Integration Based on the potential increase in housing demand and identified risk factors, The City may see heightened needs in the following areas:
• Affordable Housing Development: Encouraging the development of more affordable housing units is crucial to prevent a rise in homelessness. • Mental Health and Addiction Services: Increasing access to mental health and addiction treatment can help individuals maintain stable housing. • Domestic Violence Support: Strengthening support services for victims of domestic violence can help them find safe and secure housing.
• Employment Opportunities: Promoting job growth and providing resources for job training can empower individuals to achieve financial stability. • Navigation Center: Considering the complex needs of the homeless population, a navigation center would be an asset.
The Center as a Strategic Intervention
A low-barrier navigation center (LBNC) offers a unique approach to homelessness, prioritizing rapid rehousing through the Housing First philosophy. Unlike traditional shelters with strict entry rules, LBNCs minimize barriers by allowing couples, pets, and safe storage for belongings.
This welcoming environment provides on-site support, integrating essential services like case management, healthcare, job training, and public benefit assistance. By centralizing these resources, LBNCs streamline the process of connecting individuals experiencing homelessness with the tools needed to achieve stability and secure permanent housing.
Beyond Navigation Centers: A Multifaceted Approach
While the Center can be a powerful tool, it is just one piece of the puzzle. A comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness in the City should also consider:
• Prevention Programs: Early intervention for at-risk populations can help prevent them from falling into homelessness in the first place.
• Landlord Engagement: Programs that incentivize landlords to rent to individuals using housing vouchers can expand housing options.
• Supportive Housing: Permanent supportive housing units with on-site services can provide long-term stability for those facing chronic homelessness.
By proactively addressing these potential challenges through data-driven planning, collaborative efforts, and the strategic integration of a navigation center alongside other essential programs, Lakeport can work towards creating a community where everyone has access to safe and affordable housing. This multifaceted approach can make a significant difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness and contribute to a more just and equitable City.

3. A Multi-Pronged Approach to Homelessness in Lakeport, CA The City acknowledges the critical issue of homelessness within its community. To effectively address this complex challenge, a multi-faceted approach encompassing direct services, support services, housing-focused solutions, and preventative measures is necessary. The following list of Services as well as the sub-services within the Services are prioritized to allow prioritization based on financial affordability. However, each service should be seen as a crucial key to a successful plan.
Direct Services:
• Emergency Shelters: Providing safe and clean temporary shelter during inclement weather or for immediate needs is crucial. Emergency shelters offer a warm and dry place to sleep, respite from the elements, and a sense of security. These shelters may also provide basic medical care, meals, and referrals to other essential services. City’s overall plan addressing homelessness must include emergency shelters in addition to transitional shelters such as a navigation center to maintain effectiveness of the Center and alleviate possible overcrowding.
• Meal Services: Offering nutritious meals through soup kitchens or food pantries ensures basic sustenance needs are met. Regular access to healthy meals is essential for maintaining physical and mental well-being. Soup kitchens and food pantries can provide hot meals, groceries, or a combination of both, depending on the program and resources available. • Essential Needs Distribution: Distributing clothing, toiletries, and hygiene supplies promotes physical and mental well-being. Access to clean clothes, hygiene products, and showers helps individuals maintain their dignity and self-respect. Having basic hygiene supplies can also help prevent the spread of illness and disease.
Support Services:
• Case Management: Connecting individuals with dedicated case managers empowers them to navigate complex systems, access benefits, and develop plans for long-term stability.
Case managers can help individuals obtain identification documents, enroll in government assistance programs like Social Security or Medicaid, and connect with healthcare providers.
They can also assist with budgeting and financial planning, fostering a sense of selfsufficiency. • Mental Health and Addiction Services: Offering on-site or facilitating access to mental health and addiction treatment and counseling services addresses underlying issues that may contribute to homelessness. Untreated mental health conditions or substance abuse disorders can make it difficult to maintain employment, housing, and social relationships. By providing access to treatment and recovery programs, the City can help individuals improve their overall well-being and stability which are vital in their efforts to attain self-reliance and independence.
• Employment Assistance: Job training programs, resume writing workshops, and connections to job opportunities equip individuals with the skills and resources to achieve financial stability. Employment assistance programs can assess an individual's skills and interests, provide training in high-demand fields, and connect them with potential employers.

Financial literacy workshops can also be beneficial, helping individuals manage their income effectively and avoid future financial hardship or downfall. • Legal Aid: Providing legal assistance empowers individuals to navigate eviction processes or obtain identification documents necessary for employment and housing applications. Legal aid can help people understand their rights as tenants, represent them in court during eviction proceedings as applicable, and advocate for fair treatment from landlords.
Additionally, legal assistance can help individuals obtain critical identification documents, such as birth certificates or social security cards, which are often required for employment and housing applications.
Housing-Focused Services:
• Housing Navigation: Dedicated personnel can help individuals experiencing homelessness in finding and securing permanent housing options. This includes navigating the complexities of the application process, advocating for them with landlords, and ensuring they have the necessary documentation to qualify for housing assistance programs or rentals.
Housing navigators can also help individuals understand their rights and responsibilities as tenants, develop budgeting skills to manage their rent payments and utilities, and connect them with resources to furnish their new homes. This service is considered a cornerstone of navigation centers.
• Rental Assistance Programs: Providing rental subsidies or vouchers can make permanent housing more affordable, particularly for those with limited income. Rental assistance programs typically pay a portion of the rent directly to the landlord on behalf of the qualified program participant. This can significantly reduce the financial burden of housing, allowing individuals and families to focus on achieving long-term stability. • Supportive Housing Development: Developing or supporting programs that offer permanent housing units with on-site support services, such as healthcare, mental health counseling, life skills training, and addiction recovery programs, can provide long-term stability for individuals facing chronic homelessness or with complex needs. Supportive housing programs can provide a safe and stable environment where individuals can focus on addressing underlying challenges, develop independent living skills, and build a path towards self-sufficiency. These programs can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty maintaining housing due to mental health conditions, chronic health issues, or a history of substance abuse.
Prevention Services:
• Eviction Prevention Programs: Providing legal aid or rental assistance programs can help at-risk individuals prevent the loss of their current housing, thereby reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness.
• Domestic Violence Support: Strengthening support services for victims of domestic violence, including safe havens and assistance in finding permanent housing, can help prevent homelessness in the first place.
• Affordable Housing Development: Enacting policies and incentives to encourage the development of more affordable housing units directly addresses the root cause of homelessness for many individuals and families.
DRAFT

Collaboration and Partnerships:
While the City may not possess the resources to deliver all services directly, it can play a vital role by fostering a collaborative environment:
• Partnering with Social Service Agencies: Collaboration with existing organizations can expand services and avoid duplication of efforts.
• Fundraising and Grant Opportunities: Actively seeking funding through grants and donations can support existing services or develop new programs. • Public Awareness Campaigns: Educating the community about the realities of homelessness is crucial for generating understanding and support for solutions. • Advocacy for Policy Changes: Lobbying for policies at the state and federal level that address affordable housing shortages and mental health access can create a more supportive environment for vulnerable populations.
By implementing this comprehensive service approach, fostering collaboration, and advocating for systemic change, the City can make significant progress in addressing homelessness within its community. This multi-pronged strategy offers immediate relief, addresses underlying issues, creates pathways to stability, and aims to prevent homelessness before it starts. Ultimately, by working together, the City build a more supportive and inclusive community for all its residents.
While the services mentioned above provide crucial support for individuals experiencing homelessness, there's a growing need for a more comprehensive approach. This all points to establishing a navigation center. The Center offers a centralized location where individuals can access a range of essential services under one roof, streamlining the process of connecting them with the resources they need to transition into permanent housing and achieve long-term stability.
4. Physical Needs for a Low-Barrier Navigation Center
The design and functionality of a low-barrier navigation center should prioritize the well-being of its residents. This goes beyond simply providing shelter; the physical environment should foster a sense of dignity, promote self-sufficiency, and support the transition to permanent housing. Architectural elements that create a sense of community and belonging, such as communal areas with comfortable seating and tables, a community garden where residents can participate in horticultural therapy and learn valuable skills, and a designated children's play area for families experiencing homelessness should be incorporated where possible.
Private consultation rooms can provide a safe space for residents to meet with social workers, mental health professionals, or other service providers without fear of being overheard.
Additionally, incorporating a resource center with computers, printers, and internet access to empower residents in their job search, housing applications, and benefit applications should be considered. These elements can contribute to a more holistic and supportive environment that addresses the physical, emotional, and social needs of the residents. Similar to services listed above, the below needs are listed in order or priority need to the center.

Essential Amenities:
• Sleeping Accommodations: A variety of sleeping arrangements is crucial to cater to diverse needs and preferences.
o Individual and family units offer privacy and security, particularly for residents who have experienced trauma or mental health challenges. Typically, these tiny villages consist of small, prefabricated homes, offering privacy and independence to residents.
While requiring careful site selection and infrastructure development, tiny homes can be cost-effective and foster a strong sense of community. Also, a tiny home village can typically present safety and substance abuse challenges that will require extra staff to conduct regular inspections.
o A multi-room motel conversion offers potential advantages, and careful consideration must be given to the specific facility and community context. The benefits of existing infrastructure and rapid deployment must be weighed against the potential challenges of renovations, zoning restrictions, and community resistance. Similar to a tiny home village, a multi-private room facility can present challenges and added costs for safety and substance abuse inspections and training.
o Dormitory-style rooms is typically the most cost-effective option, but they should be designed to maximize privacy and minimize disruption. Limiting the number of occupants per room and incorporating privacy dividers or curtains can create a more dignified living space. All sleeping areas should be well-lit, clean, adequately ventilated, and include climate control to ensure resident comfort. Installing individual lockers within each sleeping unit to provide secure storage for personal belongings will promote security and independence. While individual units offer privacy, they also create a potential risk for unsupervised substance use. Mitigating this risk requires a multi-pronged approach. Regular inspections by trained staff members are necessary to identify and address any potential safety hazards. Staff should be trained to recognize signs of drug use and intervene appropriately. Additionally, installing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in each sleeping unit is essential. Providing naloxone, a medication that can reverse opioid overdoses, and training staff on its administration can be lifesaving in the event of an overdose. Finally, fostering a supportive and therapeutic environment can help residents address underlying issues that may contribute to substance abuse.
• Hygiene Facilities: Clean and well-maintained restrooms and showers are essential for hygiene and dignity. Separate facilities for men, women, and gender-neutral options should be included. Accessibility for people with disabilities is a requirement, with disability-accessible stalls in all restrooms. Showers should be private stalls with individual changing areas to ensure privacy. Having a designated area for residents to shave or brush their teeth, separate from the toilet stalls, promotes a sense of normalcy and respect. An adequate supply of hygiene products should be readily available to all residents. Installing laundry baskets in sleeping units to encourage residents to keep their personal laundry organized is also encouraged.
• Laundry Services: On-site laundry facilities with washers and dryers empower residents to maintain clean clothes. Offering laundry detergent and fabric softener demonstrates a commitment to resident well-being. Installing high-efficiency washers and dryers to reduce water and energy consumption is recommended. Multiple washers and dryers are necessary to accommodate the needs of all residents, especially in larger facilities. Having a designated DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 19
drying area with drying racks or clotheslines provides an alternative to using dryers, especially for delicate items or for residents who prefer to air-dry their clothes. • Dining Facilities: A well-lit and comfortable dining area provides a space for residents to gather for meals. A Partnership with a local food service provider to deliver two pre-prepared meals a day to the center is recommended to maintain their benefit status. Residents can use their food benefits to supplement these meals with additional groceries or snacks purchased from local stores. This approach helps streamline operations, reduces the need for on-site kitchen facilities and staff, and allows residents to focus on other aspects of their recovery process, such as job training or mental health appointments.
Supportive Service Spaces:
• Case Management Offices: Private offices for case managers to meet with residents confidentially and develop personalized plans for permanent housing and long-term stability are crucial. Soundproof design ensures privacy during discussions. • Multi-Purpose Room: A flexible space for group meetings, workshops, educational programs, or recreational activities fosters a sense of community and provides opportunities for skill development and socialization. Whiteboards, projectors, and comfortable seating enhance functionality.
• Computer Lab: Access to computers and the internet allows residents to search for employment and housing opportunities, connect with essential services online, and potentially complete online education or training programs.
• Secure Entry System: A controlled access system with key fobs or swipe cards for residents maintains a safe environment.
• 24/7 Security Staff: Having well-trained security personnel present 24/7 ensures the safety and well-being of residents and staff. De-escalation techniques and crisis intervention training are essential for security staff.
• Site, Parking and Site Selection: For the navigation center to function effectively and provide a supportive environment for its residents, careful consideration should be given to its location. Ideally, the Center should be situated in a central and accessible area. This ensures residents have easy access to public transportation, retail, grocery stores, government services, and other essential services they need on a regular basis. o Being close to public transportation eliminates dependence on personal vehicles and allows residents to attend appointments, participate in job training programs, or run errands without relying on others for transportation.
o Easy access to grocery and retail stores empowers residents to prepare healthy meals, purchase goods, and maintain a sense of normalcy.
o Proximity to other essential services, such as banks, laundromats, and healthcare facilities, reduces logistical challenges and supports residents. o Location with reasonable proximity to government services is essential in providing the residents with access to all possible and eligible services. o In addition to accessibility, the surrounding area should foster a sense of community and safety.
o A welcoming environment with amenities like parks or green spaces can improve residents' mental and emotional well-being.
DRAFT

o Conversely, locating the Center in an area with high crime rates or heavy industrial zoning can create a sense of fear or isolation, hindering progress. Finding a balance between accessibility and a safe, supportive environment is crucial. • Accommodating the needs of the homeless population is crucial. As a portion of the homeless population in the City utilizes recreational vehicles (RV), allocating a designated number of parking spaces with wider stalls, potentially 12 feet wide to accommodate larger vehicles, and electrical hookups is important. It is recommended that the Center accommodates parking spaces for at least 2 RVs and 25 automobiles. • Secure bicycle parking should also be incorporated to encourage sustainable transportation options.
Additional Considerations:
• Accessibility: The entire facility, including communal areas and amenities, should be accessible for people with disabilities. This includes ramps, wider doorways, accessible restrooms, and elevators if the building has multiple floors that provides accessible route from public right-of-way or accessible parking spaces to the building entrance and to all functional interior spaces accessible to the residents.
• Sustainability: Energy-efficient appliances and building materials reduce operating costs and create a more environmentally friendly facility. Consider solar panels, low-flow faucets and toilets, and LED lighting.
• Trauma-Informed Design: Incorporate design elements that promote feelings of safety and security, such as natural light, calming colors, comfortable seating areas, and access to outdoor green space. Creating a welcoming and supportive environment can help residents feel at ease and begin the healing process.
• Programming Space: Dedicate space for educational programs, job training workshops, or mental health and addiction recovery support groups. This can empower residents to develop the skills and resources needed to achieve long-term stability.
By prioritizing these physical needs and incorporating thoughtful design elements, the Center can create a supportive environment that promotes healing, skill development, and a successful transition to permanent housing.
B. Engaging the Public and Stakeholders
1. Outreach Approach Overview:
Outreach and community engagement is a crucial component of exploring the feasibility of developing a low-barrier navigation center (LBNC) (Center) in the City. KMP Strategies, a subconsultant to Vanir, providing strategic outreach services for this project, led a multifaceted effort to engage with those most affected by the issue of homelessness within the community.
The communication strategy executed during this exploration phase utilized channels that stakeholders are already comfortable with, making information sharing and gathering both respectful and efficient.
The approach included the following measures, which are detailed in the following pages.
DRAFT

Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 21
• Development of Website Content and Collateral Materials: The project team created a webpage on the City of Lakeport’s website (https://www.cityoflakeport.com/unhoused.php), and developed a fact sheet summarizing LBNCs in general, and the City’s objectives in conducting a feasibility study for the potential development of the Center within the City.
Messaging included key information about how such Centers help address homelessness in communities, what types of resources are typically included, and how they can help invigorate the local economy, curb crime, and enhance quality of life – all in an effort to dispel myths and fears that sometimes surround low-barrier navigation centers. • Stakeholder Outreach and Engagement: A feasibility study working group was established as part of this process and included a cross-section of local government, health services, public safety and community resource representatives. Members of the working group included:
• Michael Froio, City of Lakeport Mayor
• Michael Green, Lake County Supervisor and LCCoC representative • Elise Jones, Lake County Behavioral Health Director
• Lisa Morrow, Lake Family Resource Center Executive Director • Sage Wolf, Redwood Community Services Integrated Health Director • Ernesto Padilla, Lake County Tribal Health Consortium CEO • Sandra Campos, Lakeport business community representative • Kevin Ingram, City of Lakeport City Manager
• Brad Rasmussen, Retired City of Lakeport Police Chief • Joey Hejnowicz, City of Lakeport Community Development Director • Ron Ladd, City of Lakeport Public Works Director
Additionally, the project team identified key contacts representing city and county homeless outreach and advocacy groups, mental and behavioral health service providers, tribal leaders and resource centers, business community representatives, churches and other nongovernmental organizations that provide service or outreach to those experiencing homelessness. Throughout the exploration process, these key contacts were included in project communication and outreach, including involvement in the community open house held on May 1.
• Community Open House, Pathways to Stability: Homelessness and Mental Health Resources Fair: On May 1, 2024, the project team participated in a community open house that served as the third in a series of town halls held in recent months (or years?) to address homelessness and mental illness issues in the community. Held at Xabatin Park in the city of Lakeport, the event highlighted the collaboration among a variety of agencies and highlighted the resources available focused on homelessness and mental health. Multiple organizations participated in the open house, including non-profit organizations such as Redwood Community Services and Lake Family Resources Center, local hospitals and behavioral health service representatives, the local police department, allowing attendees to engage with different resource and service providers in the community.
Participating organizations and vendors set up their own stations, including a station specific to the Low Barrier Navigation Center (LBNC), and that attendees visited to learn more about DRAFT

3. Small Group Stakeholder Meetings
In coordination with City staff, we developed a list of key stakeholders, and the project team facilitated targeted engagement through small group and one-on-one outreach meetings. Our approach included five small group/one-on-one discussions designed to foster meaningful dialogue and gather valuable insights into perceptions of a LBNC, current services available to people experiencing homelessness in Lakeport, and suggested services that a LBNC could provide to better centralize services. The project team developed tailored agendas and summaries for each meeting. These discussions were aimed at understanding the perspectives of local organizations and stakeholders who provide supportive services and conduct business in the City of Lakeport.
Meetings included Lake County Behavioral Health Services, Redwood Community Services, representatives from Lakeport’s business community including the Main Street Association, and other social service providers. Following each meeting, we provided detailed summaries to ensure that the feedback and concerns of stakeholders were accurately captured and considered in the ongoing project planning. Below is a summary of each meeting.

The LFRC, along with many other similar non-profit organizations operates on a line of credit to fund an initial cash flow then relies on reimbursements from funding programs to fund the loan payments.
C. Identifying Potential Sites and Development Strategies
1. Property search criteria
Before the navigation center can be developed, a thorough evaluation of potential sites is crucial. This evaluation must consider several factors that will determine the feasibility and overall success of the project. These factors encompass legal restrictions, physical characteristics of the location, its impact on the surrounding community, and the availability of necessary infrastructure and resources.
The criteria items listed below were used to evaluate a selection of properties available. These criteria items should also be used in conjunction with the Physical Needs for a Low-Barrier Navigation Center section previously discussed to evaluate any future properties. • Site size: The site should be large enough to accommodate the necessary buildings, parking, and outdoor spaces.
• Existence and size of re-usable structure: The presence of existing structures that can be repurposed can potentially reduce construction costs. • Year Built: Newer buildings often have lower maintenance costs, are more energyefficient, and may already meet accessibility standards. However, older buildings can be suitable with necessary renovations. Additionally, to help mitigate costs for HazMat abatement, buildings built after 1980 will not have asbestos and/or lead abatement issues.
• Development Potential: The site should have potential for future expansion if the need arises.
• Compatible Zoning: The site should be zoned for commercial or mixed-use development to accommodate the Navigation Center's functions.
• Adjacent property Zoning: While proximity to residential areas is not necessarily a negative factor, it's important to consider potential noise and traffic impacts. • Zone Ordinance Restrictions: There should be no zoning restrictions that would hinder the development or operation of the Center.
• General PlanDesignation & Permitted Use: This ensures that the project is consistent with the overall land use goals and objectives of the community. The specific zoning designation should allow for the construction and operation of a navigation center.
DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 32
• Proximity to Flood ZoneAreas: It would not be recommended to select a site within a flood zone area.
• Physical Characteristics / Terrain: The cost of preparing the site for development (e.g., grading, landscaping) should be reasonable.
• Existing City / CountyAssets: Assets that are currently owned or leased by the City should take priority as the transition into the property will be simplified and costs may be lowered.
• Cost to acquire for on-the-market sites/property: Typically, the costs associated with acquiring an on-the-market property will be a function of asking price, market value, negotiation potential, funding availability, long-term costs, and opportunity cost. More specifically, the City of Lakeport should expect to incur the following costs as a buyer, and should budget for them in advance:
o Legal Fees for counsel representing the City in all negotiations of contract documents, and
o Inspection fees, for physical inspection of the land and improvements if any, an environmental phase I report to assure the City that there are no environmental hazards or risks associated with the property, title review, zoning review, flood hazard zone report, the Buyer’s share of escrow costs. Other costs may include loan fees to a lender if there is one involved, insurance for the newly acquired asset, and any costs related to securing the property once the City closes on the asset and begins its ownership period.
• Proximity to PublicTransit: The site should be within walking distance of public transportation stops to ensure easy access for residents and staff. • Proximity to Social ServiceCenters: The site should be within a walking or reasonable distance from social services centers to be able to get access to available social services. • Sensitivity to areaNeighborhoods (commercial/residential): Engaging the community in the site selection process can help identify potential concerns and build support for the project.
• Available Utility andServices: The site should have access to essential utilities, such as water, sewer, and electricity.
• On site ParkingAvailability: With specified amounts of parking needs already identified in Part IV, Section A, identifying a location that can accommodate at least 25 automobiles and 2 oversize vehicles.

Other Notes: This property is quite large with a large building. The existing theater building requires work to the floors (which are sloped) to become useable space.
Additionally, the perimeter walls of the theater may be concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction which may be expensive to demolish or modify. This could be an acceptable option if the Public Transit provider were to add a stop in front of the property. Cost of property acquisition should be considered and may be an issue. City might consider this for multi-use with County for other uses as well. It is possible that the existing theater seats be removed and sold to offset costs or reused elsewhere by the city. The theatre is also currently operating under a lease and would require transfer to the city, or the lease will need to be bought out from operator. While the vacant land adjacent to the theatre can be developed for the Center, this will be costly.

3. Property Selection Recommendations
Priority Recommendation: In conclusion, the comprehensive analysis presented in the appendices, coupled with the scoring system employed, points towards 2150 S. Main Street as the optimal location for the City of Lakeport's 30-bed Low-Barrier Navigation Center. With a clear lead in scoring (4.66), this site offers significant advantages that contribute to the project's success. Furthermore, considering the overall cost-effectiveness of the project, renovating an existing facility like 2150 S. Main Street presents several benefits compared to building a new facility on a new site. See appendix 6
Renovating an existing facility is generally less expensive than new construction, particularly if the existing structure is sound. Existing foundations, utilities, and some building elements can be reused, minimizing upfront costs. Renovation projects often have shorter timelines compared to new construction. Obtaining permits and completing construction can be accomplished quicker, allowing the navigation center to become operational sooner and begin serving the community. Additionally, renovation reduces the environmental impact associated with new construction. Less waste is generated, and existing materials are reused, minimizing the project's ecological footprint. Based on previous project experience in a similar facility type a new building construction could cost approximately $850 to $935 per square foot compared to a renovation which we estimate to cost $310 per square foot. Additionally, because the existing building was built in 1988, the likelihood of asbestos and lead abatement is reduced.
By the year 1980, Lead and Asbestos materials have been nationally banned for construction use in America.
Beyond the site's specific benefits, an advantage of 2150 S. Main Street lies in its proximity to public transportation. Easy access to public transportation would empower users to access essential services, job opportunities, and appointments independently, fostering a sense of self-reliance. This not only benefits users but also reduces the strain on city resources for transportation assistance.
Moreover, the potential extra space within a larger existing building at 2150 S. Main Street presents a unique opportunity to co-locate valuable services under one roof. Partnering with healthcare providers, job training programs, social services or mental health service providers could create a holistic support system for residents within the Center. This integrated approach can streamline access to critical resources and potentially accelerate residents' path towards permanent housing and stability. This integrated development strategy was discussed with some service providers and organizations which was well received. Further discussions will need to take place to discuss specifics and details as the development for the Center moves forward.
By prioritizing the renovation of 2150 S. Main Street, the City can not only leverage the site's specific advantages and the cost-effectiveness of renovation, but also benefit from the environmental consciousness and broader community integration opportunities this approach offers. This ensures the navigation center's positive impact on the community extends beyond its core function, contributing to a more sustainable and supportive future for the City of Lakeport. Refer to Financial Analysis section and Appendix 7 for details on the cost of developing this site.

2nd Recommendation: 901 Larrecou Ln. is a 4.68-acre undeveloped city-owned (by Fire District) property offering ample space and minimal disruption to neighbors. Despite requiring infrastructure development and potential accessibility challenges, it presents a promising opportunity for the Lakeport Navigation Center. A major difference between 901 Larrecou Ln and the priority recommendation is that 901 Larrecou is an undeveloped site. This is a key factor to account for when choosing how to proceed because the costs can vary between a new-build and a renovation. Assuming the entire 4.68 Acre site will not be completely developed and only the necessary site work will be completed to construct a 6,160-sf facility, we can estimate a cost of $5,544,000. By addressing these factors, 901 Larrecou Ln. could become a suitable location for the Navigation Center, providing a well-planned and accessible space for the homeless population.
Property Summary: Please refer to appendix 4: Property Summary reports for continued detail information on the recommended property selections discussed above. The appendix shows the publicly available information for each of the two recommended subject properties. This information was pulled from the CoStar database which is a leading commercial real estate information source. This information would be the basis for determining the current market value for the subject property at the time of potential acquisition or lease.
These reports include the following sections:
1. Underwriting Report: Shows the details that describe the property with publicly available data
2. Market Summary: Shows the summary for the local area, as of the date of the report
3. Construction: this is a summary of any planned, pending, or in progress construction of new properties in the local neighborhood.
4. Sale Comps: this provides actual sale data for closed and pending sales of similar properties to the subject property that are located in the vicinity of the subject property.
If the City is taking action and making decisions to move forward with a Navigation Center project within 6 months to a year of this reports date, then all this information is relevant and accurate enough to rely on. However, if the City is contemplating taking those actions longer than a year after these reports were produced, then we recommend the city engage a real estate broker with access to Costar or a similar database to update these reports with more current data, as circumstances change over time, and it would best to have current information in hand to enable the City to negotiate the most favorable terms for the Navigation Center land and/or premises.
4. Recommended Space Program
To ensure the smooth operation and successful outcomes of the Center, a well-designed layout with appropriate room allocation is crucial. The chart below delves into the recommended room and space needs for the center, considering factors like resident capacity, program requirements, staff needs, and safety protocols.

D. Financial Analysis
1. Cost analysis
The City's proposed Center presents an opportunity to support the unhoused population and foster a more vibrant community. However, translating this vision into reality requires careful financial planning. This cost analysis delves into the anticipated expenses associated with the center's development and ongoing operation, serving as a roadmap for securing the necessary resources and ensuring the project's long-term financial sustainability. By dissecting costs from design fees to ongoing staffing, the analysis provides a roadmap for budgeting and fundraising. A forward-looking approach considers future renovations, ensuring the center remains functional. The analysis also emphasizes the importance of diversified funding and continuous cost monitoring to optimize financial resources without compromising service quality.
Design and soft costs lay the foundation for the Center and can account for 5-10% of total project cost. Architectural and engineering services (50-70% of soft costs) ensure a functional space that meets building codes and includes essential systems. Optional interior design (20- 30% of soft costs) creates a welcoming environment. Permits (5-10% of soft costs) and project management (5-10% of soft costs) are crucial for a smooth renovation. Accessibility DRAFT

consulting, security consulting, and technology planning can also be factored in to optimize the space for both residents and staff.
A grant manager is essential for securing funding for the Center. Their key responsibilities include researching and identifying funding opportunities, developing compelling grant proposals, managing grant awards, building relationships with funders, and collecting data for reporting. By effectively fulfilling these roles, a grant manager can significantly increase the chances of securing necessary funding for the project. A salary range of $80,000 to $100,000 per year can be expected for such a position.
Construction and associated permits and inspections (50-70% of the total project cost) encompass the bulk of the renovation expenses for the Center. Here's a breakdown of this category:
• Demolition & Abatement: This might involve removing walls, fixtures, or hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos) that don't comply with the new design or safety regulations. Due to the existing building structure and prior uses as a warehouse and office space, it can be assumed the interior renovations will be limited. An additional advantage is that the facility at 2150 S. Main St. functioned as an emergency shelter during the Covid pandemic.
This past use suggests the building may already possess some features or layouts that can be adapted more readily to suit the needs of a navigation center, potentially reducing renovation costs.
• Construction Labor & Materials: This is the heart of the construction phase, accounting for a significant portion of the budget. It includes hiring skilled workers and purchasing all the necessary building materials.
• Subcontractor Costs: Certain specialized tasks will be contracted to subcontractors, such as electrical work, plumbing installations, HVAC system upgrades, and potentially security system installations.
• Construction Waste Disposal: Managing and disposing of construction debris generated during the renovation process is an essential cost factor. • Building Code Inspections: Obtaining permits and scheduling regular inspections throughout the construction phase are crucial to ensure the renovation adheres to all applicable building codes and safety standards. City officials typically conduct these inspections.
The initial construction of the Center at 2150 S. Main St. is expected to cost approximately $4,422,972 including the contractor’s overhead and profit, bond, and construction/design contingencies. However, construction costs can escalate every year. To account for this, let us consider a potential 25.35% increase by 2029. In this scenario, the base construction cost would inflate to approximately $5,544,195 in five years. The actual escalation rate and project timeline may differ. Factoring in potential escalation costs allows for more realistic budget planning, ensuring sufficient funding is available to complete the renovation project regardless of construction timelines. Please see appendix 7 for detailed cost estimate.
Further, to consider costs to fully develop the Navigation Center we will also add soft costs that includes acquisition of the property at $1.3M, design and inspection costs at approximately 30% of the construction cost, a project contingency cost of approximately 20% of the DRAFT

construction cost, and an estimated annual salary for a grant manager for approximately $100,000. Including these costs to the 2024 construction cost results in a total Project cost of $8,084,458. This total Project cost would be higher each year after 2024 based on the escalated construction costs as outlined in the cost estimate in Appendix 7.
Purchase or lease the facility: The decision to purchase or lease the facility is dependent on the funding available and the City’s short- and long-term goals for the facility. The typical model is the city or county purchases and renovates the property then leases it to a non-profit operator for $1 per year.
The alternative is the City to lease the existing facility “as is” then sublease to the non-profit operator. The non-profit operator is then responsible for the renovation and operation of the facility.
The key decision points are the funding sources available to the City, County or the non-profit tasked with operating the facility. The decision is really a joint decision and must weigh the project budget and risk tolerance of each stakeholder or partner before deciding between purchasing or leasing. Another alternative the City could consider if funds are not immediately available to purchase, but anticipated to be available at a later date, would be to lease the property with an option to purchase. This would allow the City to move forward with more limited funding in the beginning term of the lease and potentially purchase the building when the additional funding becomes available.
Operational cost: Beyond the initial renovation, the Center’s success hinges on its ongoing operational costs. The essential expenses required to keep the center running smoothly, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for residents while effectively guiding them towards permanent housing are crucial.
• Utility Costs
o Water and Sewage Usage: Based on US Geological Survey estimate of an average person using 80 gallons of water per day and an average occupancy of 80%, we expect the Navigation Center to consume 5855.23cu.ft. per month. Based on 2024 Schedule of Water Rates, we expect a yearly expense of approximately $17,892.60 (Existing Service main size to be determined).
Sewage usage is based on Water usage and expected to be $1,819.06 a year.
Estimated Water Usage Monthly Service Charge Per 300 Cu Ft City of Lakeport Water Rates: 6" main $1,396.00 $4.87
Daily water usage per person: 70

Sewage CuFt usage per month: 5855.23
Sewage Usage per month $151.59
Sewage Usage per Year for 2024 $1,819.06
o Trash and waste: The monthly trash disposal cost for the Center is estimated at $1,394.36. This assumes a 30-bed shelter could generate approximately 45- 75 (per national average of waste per person) pounds of waste per day, which will require at least a 4-yeard bin picked up once per week. The bin rental fee is $1,394.36 per month, with a yearly estimate of $16,732.32. While this provides a starting point, actual costs may vary depending on the waste disposal company chosen, negotiation of rates, and the center's specific waste generation patterns. Implementing a robust recycling program can potentially reduce the volume of trash requiring disposal, leading to lower overall costs. o Electricity: The Center's annual electricity cost is estimated at $131,815.45.
This figure is based on the Department of Energy's national average of 22.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of annual energy consumption per square foot for commercial buildings, applied to the Center's 14,250 square footage. The electricity cost per kWh of $0.4111 (based on current PG&E rates) is also factored in. It is important to acknowledge that this is an initial estimate. o Maintenance: The Center's maintenance costs will vary based on the building's age, size, and usage. General maintenance includes exterior upkeep, interior repairs, equipment maintenance, and safety checks. Estimates range from $2,000 to $3,000 monthly, totaling $24,000 to $36,000 annually.
Preventive maintenance and energy-efficient upgrades can help reduce these costs. A contingency fund for unexpected repairs is also recommended. o Janitorial: he Lakeport Navigation Center's janitorial costs are estimated to be between $12,000 and $24,000 per year. This estimate considers the 8,000 square foot facility size, 30-person capacity, and typical cleaning needs.
Factors like cleaning frequency, specific services, and local labor rates can influence the actual cost.
• Staffing: Staff recommendations for the Lakeport Navigation Center should be tailored to effectively support residents with diverse needs. Drawing from case studies involving similar organizations of similar operation and scale such as Redwood Community Services and Nation’s Finest provides a valuable starting point. However, these recommendations should be adjusted to reflect the specific size, bed count, and anticipated resident population of the Center.
o For the Center with 30 beds in an approximately 8,000 SF facility, a core team of full-time staff provides stability and continuity for residents. This team could include:
1 Director: Overseeing the Center's overall operations, staff management, and ensuring smooth resident services.
1 Supervisor: Managing the day-to-day operations, staff scheduling, and resident support.
3 Case Managers: Developing individualized plans, connecting residents with housing, employment, and essential services. 3 Support Staff: Handling intake procedures, and administrative tasks to ensure the Center functions efficiently.
DRAFT

1 Security Support staff: In charge of security and safety of the facility and its occupants.
o Supplementing this core team with contracted services allows for specialization and cost-effectiveness in specific areas. Consider utilizing vendors and drop-in staff for:
2 Social Workers: Providing on-site counseling, crisis intervention, and navigation of social systems. This allows for access to specialized expertise while managing costs compared to full-time social workers on staff.
1 Parole Department Representative (part-time): Offering on-site support and resources for residents transitioning from parole. 1 Probation Department Representative (part-time): Providing onsite guidance and support for residents on probation.
By combining a core team of full-time staff with strategic use of vendors and drop-in professionals, the Lakeport Navigation Center can deliver a comprehensive range of services while optimizing its staffing budget. This approach ensures residents have access to essential support while maintaining operational efficiency.
Based on preliminary research of similar-sized shelters, the annual operational cost for the Lakeport Navigation Center is projected to fall within the range of $750,000 to $1,200,000. These estimates encompass expenses related to staffing, utilities, maintenance, supplies, and other operational needs. It is important to note that this is a preliminary range, and actual costs may vary based on specific factors such as location, staffing levels, and the scale of services offered.
2. Revenue and Funding analysis:
This preliminary assessment explores potential revenue streams to support the Center's mission of empowering residents towards self-sufficiency and permanent housing. The analysis considers traditional fundraising methods, community partnerships, and innovative revenue opportunities, all of which are subject to further evaluation and planning. This plan outlines the expected revenue streams for the Center. Due to the inherent variability of factors influencing some revenue sources, a conservative approach is adopted. It is important to continually assess and refine the plan as the Center becomes operational.
The City's funding plan prioritizes securing grant funding as the core source of revenue.
Obtaining grant funding requires submitting applications well in advance, so initial funding might be limited. Spreading grant applications across programs with different disbursement schedules is crucial for ensuring a consistent cash flow in the long term.
Fundraising activities like online campaigns and signature events will contribute to the Center's financial stability. Building a strong online presence and cultivating relationships with local businesses are key to maximizing these efforts.
DRAFT

Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 48
The Center will also explore building partnerships with foundations, faith-based organizations, and service clubs. These partnerships can provide valuable resources like grant opportunities, volunteer support, or even joint fundraising initiatives.
The overall strategy prioritizes grant funding, followed by a focus on refining fundraising efforts and fostering community partnerships. Innovative revenue options will be explored cautiously, ensuring they are financially sound and do not hinder the center's mission. Regular reviews and adjustments will be made to the plan as the Center becomes operational. This diversified approach, with a focus on securing reliable grant funding, positions the Center for financial stability and successful service delivery.
Traditional Fundraising
Private Donations: National averages for navigation centers and service centers suggest annual private donations can vary significantly depending on the local philanthropic landscape and the effectiveness of fundraising efforts. Cultivating a strong online presence, engaging social media campaigns, and hosting well-organized fundraising events are all crucial for maximizing individual giving.
Corporate Sponsorships: The Lakeport business community presents potential for corporate sponsorships, which can vary significantly. Therefore, developing targeted outreach highlighting the navigation center's mission and social impact can cultivate strong relationships with potential sponsors.
Fundraising Events: Creative and community-oriented fundraising events like charity dinners, galas, or marathons can raise awareness and generate funds. Estimated annual revenue from events can vary depending on the event type and scale.
Community Partnerships and Foundations: Partnering with local community foundations dedicated to social services can unlock grant funding or collaborative fundraising opportunities. This strengthens the navigation center's financial base and community ties.
Collaboration with Faith-Based Organizations: Religious institutions with established volunteer networks and strong community connections can provide valuable in-kind donations, volunteer support, or potential fundraising avenues through their congregations.
Engaging Service Clubs: Service clubs like Rotary or Lions Club are known for their philanthropic activities. Building relationships with these organizations can secure volunteer resources or identify fundraising opportunities that complement their existing efforts.
Innovative Revenue Streams
Fee-for-Service Programs: Offering job training or daycare services for a fee to employed residents requires a feasibility study to assess market demand, staffing needs, and legal compliance to avoid creating access barriers. Although our research with the City of Lakeport Community has shown providing a daycare service provided by the Navigation Center can pose a liability and licensing risk, it can be an option that would need further research.
DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center

October 22, 2024 49
Subleasing Space: Another possibility, subject to further study, is subleasing space within the navigation center to compatible social service providers or community organizations.
Approach requires careful planning to ensure sufficient space remains for core navigation center services. Since the recommended property at 2150 S. Main St. Is a larger facility with 14,250 SF of usable space, along with sharing the facility with other service providers, the idea of subleasing a portion of the space to generate revenue is a realistic possibility to consider.
Community Store and center shop: Navigation centers across the country have found success in establishing retail stores as a source of revenue and resident empowerment. These retail stores can offer gently used clothing, furniture, and household goods at affordable prices as well as new merchandise. They not only generate revenue to support the Center's programs but also provide valuable job training opportunities and retail experience for residents transitioning out of homelessness. Residents can volunteer or even be employed by the store, fostering a sense of purpose, and building valuable skills that can lead to future employment opportunities. This model exemplifies how a community store within a navigation center can offer a win-win situation, benefiting both residents and the broader community by providing affordable goods while contributing to the Center's financial stability and resident empowerment.
Federal and State Grant Programs: Homelessness is a high priority for both Federal and State governments. According to the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development California shoulders roughly 28% of the total homeless population in the United States. Smaller communities are seeing an increase in homeless populations as resources become strained in the bigger cities. The grant funding sources listed below are just a couple of the potential sources that may be available to the city or the non-profit operating partner.
Federal Grant Programs:
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD):
• Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program: This program offers a broad range of funding opportunities for homeless services, including emergency shelters, transitional housing, street outreach, and prevention initiatives. It's particularly relevant for navigation centers due to its focus on rapid re-housing into permanent housing. (https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/comm_planning/esg) • Continuum of Care (CoC) Program: While not a direct funding source, collaborating with the existing CoC in the region is essential. The CoC coordinates homeless services at the regional level and allocates funding from HUD programs like ESG. (https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/comm_planning/coc) State Grant Programs:
California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD):
• Homelessness Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program: This program offers funding for a variety of services that directly address the needs of the homeless population, including permanent supportive housing, emergency shelters, and rental assistance. This program aligns well with the goals of a navigation center. (https://www.hcd.ca.gov/)
• California Mental Health Services Act (MHSA): MHSA Funding can be used to cover operational costs for onsite mental health professionals, medication, and program DRAFT

development. Additionally, the No Place Like Home Program within MHSA can provide funding for supportive housing opportunities for residents with mental illness transitioning out of the center. (https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/MH/Pages/MH_Prop63.aspx) • Emergency Solutions Grants Program (ESG): The Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program offers financial support to cities like Lakeport for services addressing homelessness, including emergency shelters, rapid re-housing, and prevention efforts.
Funding amounts vary widely based on factors like community size and need. • Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Program: Competitive grant program available to assist local districts to provide services and supports to people experiencing homelessness in encampments that results in meaningful paths to safe and stable housing.
Eligible applicants include counties, Continuums of Care (CoCs), and cities of any size. • Family Homelessness Challenge (FHC) Grants and Technical Assistance Program:
The Family Homelessness Challenge Grants provide competitive grants and technical assistance to local districts to promote rapid innovation and expand promising practices to create scalable solutions that can be shared across the state to address and ultimately end family homelessness.
• HOME American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP): The HOME-ARP program allocated $131 million through various NOFAs to support developers, nonprofit service providers, and Tribal Entities in addressing homelessness and assisting vulnerable populations.
This funding includes opportunities for affordable housing development under the HOMEARP Rental Housing NOFA, as well as initiatives for supportive services through the Housing Plus Support Program (HPSP) NOFA. These efforts aim to benefit individuals and families currently homeless or at risk, aligning with the program's mission to provide essential support and stability.
Local Sponsorship Opportunities:
• Lake Ministerial Association: The Lake Ministerial Association (LMA) can significantly bolster the Lakeport Navigation Center's efforts. Through public education and advocacy, the LMA can dispel myths and garner public support. They can also directly assist by recruiting volunteers and fundraising. Collaboration is key: the LMA can connect the Center with other service providers and offer respectful spiritual support through clergy volunteers.
• United Christian Parish: The United Christian Parish can aid the City of Lakeport Navigation Center through Volunteer recruitment, financial contributions, and raising awareness. The existing ministries can offer direct support through mentorship programs and life skill workshops as well as spiritual guidance. (https://www.umc.org/find-a-church/church?id=77068)
3. Risk Analysis
The City 's funding plan outlines a diversified approach, but there can still be gaps between projected income and operational needs. Securing grant funding, a crucial element, is a competitive process and awarded amounts may not always fully meet budget expectations.
Further, as discussed with associates from similar organizations operating similar facilities, such as Redwood Community Services and Nation’s Finest, there is often a potential for federal, state, and local funding grants to be unreliable for long term funding and may be inaccessible at short notice. Although federal funding is considered more reliable since they DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 51
usually provide a longer term, all funding in general carries an uncomfortable level of risk.
Delays in receiving grant disbursements can further strain cash flow. Similarly, the success of fundraising efforts can fluctuate depending on economic conditions and donor engagement.
Even unforeseen expenses can disrupt the financial plan.
To bridge these potential gaps, the Center can establish a financial reserve from initial fundraising or budget surpluses. Diversifying grant applications across programs with varying deadlines and disbursement schedules can also help minimize the impact of potential delays.
Focusing on operational cost-effectiveness and exploring volunteer and in-kind donation opportunities can further manage expenses.
In the long term, innovative revenue options such as fee-for-service programs or subleasing space hold some promise but require further studies to ensure they are financially sound and do not create barriers to core services. The key lies in continuous monitoring of the financial performance, identifying gaps early, and adjusting the plan accordingly. Strong relationships with grantors, donors, and the community are essential for maintaining support and exploring new funding opportunities. By proactively addressing funding shortfalls, the Center can ensure its financial stability and effectively serve the needs of the unhoused population.
E. Project Schedule
With the potential benefits of the Center clearly outlined, the next step is to create a project schedule to transform the former newspaper reporting and printing facility at 2150 S Main Street into the Center. This renovation project presents a unique opportunity to repurpose a building within the community, potentially reducing costs and expediting the timeline compared to new construction.
The project scheduled for the Center at 2150 S Main Street will detail a comprehensive plan for the renovation of the former newspaper facility. This schedule will outline key milestones, timelines for each renovation phase and identify potential dependencies between tasks. By following a well-defined project schedule, the City can ensure a smooth and efficient conversion process, bringing the vision of the Center closer to reality. When constructing a project like the Center, choosing the right project delivery method is crucial. Two main options emerge - Design-Bid-Build and Design-Build. Here's a breakdown of the key differences:
• Design-Bid-Build (DBB): This traditional approach separates design and construction. An architect creates the plans, then bids go out to contractors who estimate the cost of building based on those plans. While offering potential cost control, DBB can lead to delays and fingerpointing if issues arise between design and construction phases. • Design-Build (DB): This streamlined method merges design and construction under one contract. A single entity, the design-builder, handles both aspects, fostering collaboration and quicker turnaround times. The design-builder can identify potential challenges early and propose solutions within the budget, potentially reducing unforeseen costs later.
Given the time-sensitive nature of social projects like the Center, Design-Build offers distinct advantages. For the Center, a Design-Build project delivery method is preferred and recommended. Expedited construction timelines can get people off the streets faster, and the collaborative approach can ensure the final product meets the specific needs of the client and residents. While cost is a concern in any project, Design-Build's potential for early DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 52
identification and mitigation of construction challenges can lead to a more predictable final budget.
Based on the team's estimate we can assume the amount of time from preconstruction phase including funding process and Criteria Document preparation to move in will be approximately
2.5 years. This will allow for approximately 1.5 year of preconstruction, 1 year of construction and 1 month for moving. There would be opportunity for a shorter schedule if funding can be secured quickly. The following below summarizes the project schedule. Please see Appendix 8 for details and breakdown of all major activities.
Phase Duration Start Date Completion Date

FF&E and Move-In 25 working days 3/5/27 4/8/27
F. Program Plan Development
1. Recommended Programs and Services
The proposed Center should offer a comprehensive suite of programs and services designed to empower residents to achieve permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Here is a breakdown of some key programs with specific goals recommended for the City to include in the Center.
Core Services:
Case Management: The foundation of the navigation center is case management. Each resident is assigned a dedicated case manager who acts as their primary point person. This individual works collaboratively with the resident to develop an individualized plan, connect them to necessary resources, advocate for their needs, and track progress towards permanent housing.
Supportive Services:
Health services address mental health and substance abuse issues that may be barriers to housing. These can include individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, relapse prevention programs, and peer support groups and counseling. All of this aims to improve residents' mental and physical well-being, promoting stability and reducing risk factors for relapse. The Center Staff will assist residents to gain medical benefits through State run health insurance providers such as Medi-Cal.
To ensure the well-being of residents, the Center should strive to create a strong partnership with local healthcare providers like Sutter Health, Adventist Health, and Tribal Health. This collaboration would bring significant benefits. Scheduled visits by medical professionals from these partnering organizations would provide essential services directly at the Center.
Residents would have access to basic medical care, mental health services, and on-site pharmaceutical dispensing, eliminating transportation barriers and simplifying access to critical healthcare. This comprehensive approach would significantly improve the health outcomes of the Center residents.
DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 53
It is recommended the Center employ a 24-hour crisis line to allow residents in crisis situations immediate support through crisis lines staffed by trained professionals. This intervention helps prevent self-harm or other harmful behaviors.
Meal Services: While three meals a day are essential for residents' physical health and wellbeing, it is recommended the Center provide residents with two pre-packaged meals, breakfast and dinner. The meals can be provided through a partnership with a local food kitchen or City-run kitchen. This service ensures residents can maintain their state food benefits, which can be used to supplement meals or purchase groceries for additional meals.
Additionally, partnering with a local kitchen can provide residents with the opportunity to volunteer and gain job training in a culinary setting. It is also recommended that the Center provide services to assist residents in enrolling in Cal-Fresh Benefits through the State Department of Social Services.
Additional Support:
Limited financial assistance can be provided for essential needs not covered by other programs, such as transportation tokens, hygiene products, or clothing vouchers. This temporary financial relief helps bridge gaps and promote resident self-sufficiency as they acquire employment or benefits.
Grief counseling can help residents cope with loss, a common experience for those experiencing homelessness. This service enhances emotional well-being and facilitates healing.
HIV/AIDS testing, counseling, and linkage to treatment should be readily available to ensure residents have access to essential healthcare services and support related to HIV/AIDS.
Legal Services:
Residents may need legal assistance with identification documents, housing applications, expungement of criminal records, or social security benefits. Legal support helps overcome barriers and facilitates access to opportunities like housing and employment.
Specialized Services:
Culturally sensitive services tailored to the needs of Native American residents should be offered, potentially in collaboration with tribal organizations. Services may include traditional healing practices, cultural activities, and connections to tribal resources. This ensures culturally appropriate support that respects the unique experiences of Native American individuals.
Partnerships with Tribal Health, Big Valley Tribes and Scotts Valley Tribes can provide vital resources and services to residents of the Center.
Services for seniors and individuals with disabilities may include assisted living arrangements, specialized case management, or connections to elderly care resources. This approach provides appropriate support for this vulnerable population and ensures their well-being within the Center.
Transitional and Employment Services:
DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 54
While the Center provides a short to long-term shelter, residents should also have access to other transitional housing options with longer stays to facilitate a smoother transition to permanent housing. This steppingstone approach promotes stability.
Opportunities for skill development, vocational training, and educational advancement can equip residents with the tools to secure sustainable employment. This enhances residents' employability and economic self-sufficiency.
Assistance with resume writing, interview skills, and job search can connect residents to employment opportunities. This facilitates their transition into the workforce and financial independence.
Permanent Housing Allocation:
Case managers will work with residents to identify and secure permanent housing options that are safe, affordable, and meet their individual needs. The Community Development Department in Lakeport is actively working to address the community's housing needs, including developing programs to support homeownership. While they currently do not offer financial assistance for homeownership, they have received a funding grant to create a comprehensive Housing Services Program. This program will feature Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation, Homebuyer, and Mobile Home Replacement initiatives.
Case managers at the Navigation Center will work closely with residents to identify and secure safe, affordable housing options that align with their individual needs. While the Community Development Department's homeownership programs are still under development, the Navigation Center can collaborate with them to ensure residents are aware of these upcoming opportunities and receive assistance in accessing them.
By providing these comprehensive programs and services, the navigation center can empower residents to overcome challenges, achieve lasting stability, and build a brighter future.
G. Assessing Potential Impacts
1. Potential Impacts of the Center
The establishment of the Center has the potential to yield a multifaceted impact on the community and its residents. Below follows a more detailed analysis of these potential influences:
Community Impact:
• Positive: Navigation centers can reduce visible homelessness, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the community. They can also serve as a hub for social services, potentially attracting valuable resources to the area. These resources can benefit the broader community by improving access to healthcare, mental health services, and job training programs. • Negative: Some community members might express concerns regarding increased foot traffic, potential for criminal activity near the center, or a perceived decline in property values.
Steps can be taken to foster a more positive reception such as community meetings and earlyinvolvement. Public outreach is a vital part of developing the Center by improving public perception of the Center through public outreach programs that foster communication, collaboration, and better understanding of the Center.
DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 55
Property Value Impact:
• Positive: Investing in a vacant property and converting it to a new productive use is positive. The properties being considered are vacant light commercial or retail locations.
Converting their use to supportive housing and investing in the surrounding area should have a positive impact on values. A well-maintained center with attractive landscaping can improve the overall aesthetics of the neighborhood. Reducing the homeless population that are living on the streets will have a direct positive impact on all property types that are currently experiencing homeless people living or panhandling in their area. • Negative: Nearby residents may believe that property values will decrease if a new Navigation Center is established in their neighborhood. The studies that have been done looked at converting lower density residential to higher density residential which does not apply in this case. Any potential negative impact can be addressed by using appropriate physical design features including landscape buffers, walls or fencing strategically located to shield busy areas. Negative impacts can be further mitigated by having a well-lit secure facility with appropriate signage, cameras and other security features. In addition, open communication and ensuring the center is well-maintained can alleviate these concerns.
Highlighting success stories of residents who have transitioned into permanent housing from the center can further demonstrate the center's positive contributions to the community.
Lastly, selecting a location that is at least one block or more away from residential uses, would help to avoid conflict with residential neighbors. It is not anticipated that a new Navigation Center would negatively impact commercial, retail, or industrial uses that may be in close proximity to, or adjacent to the new Navigation Center
Public Safety Impact:
• Positive: Navigation centers can connect homeless individuals with mental health and addiction treatment services, potentially leading to reduced crime rates. Increased police presence near the center could also deter crime. By addressing the root causes of homelessness, such as mental illness and substance abuse, navigation centers can help create a safer community for all.
• Negative: Some residents may express fear of an increase in crime near the center, though studies haven't shown a clear link between navigation centers and increased crime.
Effective management that prioritizes security measures such as proper lighting and security personnel can address these concerns.
A Navigation Center can be a valuable tool for addressing homelessness, but successful implementation requires careful planning, community engagement, and ongoing evaluation.
By proactively addressing potential concerns and ensuring the center is well-managed, the positive impacts on the community and its residents can outweigh the negatives. A successful navigation center can become an integrated part of the community, offering a lifeline to those in need while contributing to the overall well-being of Lakeport.
2. Improving the Public’s Negative Perception of a Navigation Center Public perception of Navigation Centers can be improved through strategic public engagement and awareness programs. Educational campaigns via brochures, presentations, and media partnerships can clarify the Center's purpose and highlight success stories. Proactive DRAFT
City of Lakeport Navigation Center
Feasibility Study
October 22, 2024 56
communication is key, addressing concerns like crime increase with data-driven responses.
Building trust involves a Community Advisory Board and regular updates. Highlighting resident success stories and volunteer opportunities further humanize the issue. Finally, partnering with respected community leaders, faith-based organizations, and businesses strengthens the message and fosters collaboration. These efforts can transform Navigation Centers from sources of apprehension into valued assets in tackling homelessness and creating a more unified community. Additionally, incorporating public surveys can be a powerful tool for education and gathering valuable insights. By incorporating public surveys into your public engagement strategy, you can educate the public, build consensus, and garner support for the Center. It is recommended that the stakeholders involved in creating the Center, launch a proactive public awareness campaign which highlights the negative impacts of homelessness for the homeless themselves and their families, the community in which they reside and are active in during the day, and the positive impacts of providing temporary shelter, economic, medical and emotional support services for the homeless that will set them on a path to healthier more productive lives, living off the street.
V. Conclusion & Recommendation
The Center offers a chance to significantly reduce homelessness and improve the community.
By providing essential services and helping residents transition to permanent housing, the proposed Center at 2150 S. Main Street or one of the recommended locations can improve public health and safety, boost local economy, and foster communication in the community. If the previously analyzed locations are no longer available or feasible, the City of Lakeport can utilize this comprehensive report as a valuable resource to assess future potential sites for the Navigation Center. The report provides detailed information on each property, allowing for informed decision-making and effective site selection. Open communication, highlighting the center's benefits, and building partnerships with local businesses and organizations near the Center are essential for garnering public support.
Financially, a diversified approach is recommended. Grants, fundraising, and potentially innovative revenue options can ensure long-term stability. A comprehensive budget should account for initial costs (facility, furniture, equipment) and ongoing operational expenses (staffing, utilities, supplies).
The Center's operation hinges on understanding the specific needs of the City’s homeless population. Programs addressing those needs, clear policies, and qualified staff are all necessary. Addressing potential concerns about property values, safety, and strained social services proactively through open communication and data is crucial. Contingency plans and regular evaluation will ensure the Center's effectiveness and ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
By following these steps, the Center can become a reality, offering hope and a path to a better future for those in need. This investment in people has the potential to create a more vibrant and compassionate community for everyone.

As mentioned in earlier comments: the center and its services should be a skillsassessment service as well, as a high-priority.

Your navigation program doesn't need to reinvent why not copy another county's program has and is working? Why is this so di$cult to "gure out? Other counties and other countries have programs. Your program also needs to provide access to free laundry facilities showers haircuts new and gently used clothing dental care eyeglasses cataract surgery pet food programs spay and neuter programs for residents and homeless often have dogs for protection but aren't able to feed them "x them or get them veterinary care if injured or vaccinations. These animals give them a sense of responsibility they provide mental health support support to disabled homeless and are often the only family they have

Yes. The City of Clearlake.
North high street shopping center, county building on Forbes once the new courthouse is built. Martin Street
I would absolutely veto any sort of homeless shelter within the city of Lakeport. As a business owner in city limits, we already deal with the homeless around our business.
Outside of Lakrport. This is a drastically BAD idea and will only attract more homeless and crime.
Homeless persons already have enough of a hard time getting around i think that being closer to schools is a good thing as there are many who have school aged children and being located closer to schools would bene"t them as well as schools tend to have more patrols eyes and ears around them it would also help the children who are not homeless better understand that homeless persons are not that much di#erent then themselves and are not to be judged as subhumans perhaps instilling values and ideas that will have long lasting positive change
Sorry not at this time
If it has to be done, put it in a spot that won't harm property values. This should decrease the appeal, and keep the center as a last resort option instead of a system to be exploited.

Most people have many di#erent things happening in their lives being homeless just adds an extra layer of stress making some of the simplest tasks seem impossible many that are or havent been homeless do not seem to understand this and feel that homeless persons have nothing to do then what is asked of them to acquire the resources and help they need . There needs to be some sort of mentoring program where homeless people are teamed up with someone who listens and can o#er meaning options for them based upon what they feel they most need . Many programs are very rigid where if someone wants help they have to "t into this box or that box do this or do that we need to have rules that are !exible with knowledge people that listen verify and o#er pathways dependent upon what the persons needing help believe they need most

This is a horrible idea that will result in a noticeable increase in crime, drug use and homelessness in the city.
Once center is established, have a dedicated "eld 2 deep team on the street 4 hours minimum daily helping homeless.
If you build it, they will ALL come.
This has been done so many times before and other areas and is always a complete failure. All you are going to do is attract homeless from Clearlake and Ukiah into Lakeport! Why on earth would anyone want to do that? Take a look at San Francisco or Santa Rosa with all their services and how well that is working out for them. Attracting homelessness to Lakeport will increase burglaries and assaults.
Please do not put this someplace out of the way and hidden from everyone , this idea should be put where everyone can take pride in the way we handle people down and out . O#er hands up not only hand outs and o#er ways that those who receive help can give back once they get back up on their feet
DRAFT
I do not believe that the expenses involved in this type of program should be solely born by taxpayers in the City. If Lakeport develops a program that is attractive to homeless individuals the word will get out and they will !ock from everywhere. I believe a partnership with County and State Agencies would reduce the burden on Lakeport tax payers.
I think addressing this is long over due. But better than not at all.
Don't do it.
My family is against putting in any kind of homeless shelter or low barrier navigation center. It will cause more of an issue than a solution. Taxes will increase on top of criminal activity. This is completely absurd and the city needs to spend money on "xing roads before catering to the homeless.
I do think we have plenty of services available for the homeless and many Choose that life because of drug addictions and mental health. Bringing the homeless shelter to the old juvenile hall has caused nothing but a bunch of clear lake trash to end up in Lakeport.
Because Lakeport is a small town, it will bring down all of our property values, please have it outside city limits.

Make it safe
It is a county, and state wide need, so local solutions, as the have been tried before, fail after lots of money is spent. There is never enough money available or spent in the correct way, so all is done is patch work. Then the "nger pointing starts. Years later people forget the reasons it failed, and then waste time doing it again.
Many people want to stay homeless they have an addiction problem and don’t like following rules such as no smoking cigarettes or marijuana at housing cites I think it will help those in need for sure help them get clean and to "nd jobs.
It's fantastic that this is being addressed! I think more surveys like this one should be utilized, and maybe even mailed to all county residents so everyone has a chance to give much needed input. I hope there is outreach for community volunteers to help with this as well.
None
Work harder towards it like your saving your very own children’s lives.
I wish I was wise enough to know the solution.

Lakeport residents do not want low/no income housing units in the city. They decreased property values. There is a larger portion of homeless people in Clearlake and more rehab centers there already. If you create this program it should be done in Clearlake instead as that actually makes more sense to do and then partner with them to transport people in lakeport to a center in Clearlake were it actually would make sense to have this.
I'm assuming you'll be collaborating with other partners in the County and not taking on the full responsibility. For instance, in question 11, I see utilizing existing services for everything except increasing housing. It seems duplicative to have the City create all those services. And I'm not sure it needs to be the City to take the lead on this project-- aren't there other organizations more aligned with the issue to take the lead, of which the City can be one entity at the table?
I am really happy to hear that the county is considering such a plan but please also let's address the seriousness of homeless and sick stray cats and dogs that also need help out there in our county. We need a new program for them. I really believe that we need a programfor an authorization to put down the sad homeless sick animals they have no quality of life and no one to love them and care for them that needs to be included.
Thank you. For an authorization to put down the sad homeless sick animals they have no quality of life and no one to love them and care for them that needs to be included.
Thank you.
Encampments should never be allowed due to the amount of cleanup. If property owners have rules to maintain their homes, then homeless should also. They should be shown what is a proper shelter and what can be stored at their site. The blight that follows homeless sites is what most folks have issues with. If their sites looks cared for and managed, a lot of communities would be more accepting DRAFT
I feel that these homeless aren’t from our area and dropped o# here from the city putting out community in danger
Help those who truly need it and are willing to do the work to help themselves. Outlaw loitering and sleeping on the street so those unwilling to improve will leave town, taking the crime and drugs with them.
Interview homeless people do intake and get severe mental health problems sent to mental healthcare facilities for treatment before they set "res or kill people. Stop using jail for mental health warehouse.The old castle could have been used for homeless before the dorms and f Kit
Do not allow this in the city of Lakeport!! Down town for a majority of the year is a tourist based economy and can not a#ord to have homeless that do not contribute to our community driving revenue away bye making our downtown uncomfortable, unhealthy, and unsafe.
Severe homeless problems chase paying people away from businesses. We go where its safe.
You’re going to make the crime rate go up. You’re going to make the small town businesses become more scared of shoplifting or more people spreading fecal matter down the sidewalks. You’re creating a not safe community for the towns kids.
The idea of an LBNC in the city of Lakeport is a bad idea.

For those who refuse the opportunity and services that this would provide, they need DRAFT
to be encouraged to relocate. Many who refuse services need mental assistance.
Unfortunately when they refuse trying to convince them is not successful and you cannot force them to do anything.
Many services already available. Vast majority of homeless have mental health issues due to drug use, and can not be forced into treatment facilities. More services brings in more homeless individuals, puts more of a strain on police and emergency services.
Increases safety concerns within the community
Lock up the mentally ill please. I’m tired of watching our state deteriorate.

Comments: Existing 14,250 sf CMU building can be used for community building Overall Approval Rating/Comment Overall a good location, although too large of a site and building for what we need. Perhaps, it could be considered for multi-use by City/County in addition to Navigation Center.
Overall, this site provides good potential. It's a undeveloped parcel open for development and possibility. This is the City's preferred site.

Overall Approval Rating/Comment Overall, the site and building is too small. Not a suitable facility and should not be considered.
Overall, not the most favorable site. Will require
complete development of site with regrading, paving and utility connections.
Overall, it's in a good location, but the site
and building are too big for what we need for
the Navigation Center. Cost of property
acquisition should be considered and may be
an issue. Theatre and drive-in lot are
currently ran under a operation lease and
would need to be negotiated with owner or
bought out. Because theatre would not be
viable for LBNC, new Center would need to
