WHEREAS, to implement the FHC Project, the City seeks to accept and appropriate the funding from BCSH, and to enter into grant agreements with four local entities, as specified in Table 1 below, for the provision of transitional housing and supportive services to address Oakland’s family crisis system capacity by expanding the number of available beds for families through the coordinated entry system, and improving the quality of services available to families experiencing homelessness; and
