WHEREAS, homelessness is a complex problem requiring m any different programmatic interventions and financial resources to address the full scope of the issue; and
WHEREAS, the City of Oakland administers four local programs under the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum o f Care (CoC) program: (1) Housing Fast Support Network (HFSN) Transitional/Rapid Rehousing Program, (2) Oakland 2 Homeless Youth Housing Collaborative (OHYHC) Transitional Housing Program, (3) North County Family Rapid Rehousing Collaborative (NCFRRH), and (4) North County Homeless Youth Rapid Rehousing (NCHYRRH) – all of which provide transitional and permanent housing and support services to homeless single adults, families, and transition-aged youth; and
WHEREAS, the majority of funding for these four programs comes from the HUD CoC competitive funding process, however additional funding supports the ongoing administration and operation of programs where HUD funding is lacking; and
WHEREAS, HUD CoC funding requires a 25% match, HUD Formula Grant funding requires a 100% match and OHA requires a demonstration of leveraged local funds; and
WHEREAS, the City of Oakland has applied for and received renewal funding under the HUD CoC Program for the provision of transitional and permanent housing and support services to the homeless since 1994; and
WHEREAS, it is the practice of the City to enter into grant agreements with local entities for the provision of the transitional and permanent housing and other support services for each of the aforementioned four programs under the CoC Supportive Housing Program described in Table 1a through d; and
WHEREAS, each individual HUD CoC program award goes through two competitive funding processes, one on the Alameda County level and one on a federal level; and
WHEREAS, on September 19, 2023, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 13759 C.M.S. (Shelter Crisis Ordinance), which appropriated up to $20,000,000 in HUD, Oakland Housing Authority (OHA), and Alameda County SSA funding for transitional housin g programs through FY 2025-26; and
WHEREAS, this Resolution would authorize the City Administrator to use the appropriated funding in the following amounts: $5,065,576 from HUD for the CoC programs, $806,000 from Alameda County SSA for the HFSN CoC progra m, and $4,209,692 from OHA for the OPRI programs, and would identify local funding for the HUD CoC match requirements; and
WHEREAS, the City of Oakland Fiscal Year 2023 -2025 Biennial Budget includes Measure Q and General Purpose funding (GPF) for homelessness programs and services; and
WHEREAS, City staff expects that the City of Oakland will receive additional HUD funding in FY 2025-2026 and seeks authorization to accept and appropriate those funds as they become available without requiring approval from City Council next fiscal year; and WHEREAS, the City desires to award grant agreements with service providers for the HUD CoC Supportive Housing Programs, subject to available appropriated HUD funds, as specified in Table 1, using up to $1,871,346 in Measure Q funds and $173,475 in local GPF for the match requirement and to support ongoing operation of homeless interventions; and 3 WHEREAS, the Oakland Housing Authority (OHA) is committed to continuing its partnership initiatives into FY 2024-25, providing support and resources to a broad demographic of homeless individuals. By bolstering support for the homeless population, OHA strives to foster pathways to sustainable independence and contribute to the ongoing efforts to address homelessness in our community; and
WHEREAS, the OPRI/SBHAP funds will be allocated towards furthering program objectives, ensuring impactful utilization across designated channels. These funds are allocated to HUD-ESG/SHP/HOPWA Fund (2103), Community Housing Services Org (78411), OPRI/SBHAP OHA FY 2024 -2025 Project (1006702), and the Homeless Services & Support Program (NB41). This strategic distribution aims to optimize resources, enhance community housing services, and propel the OPRI/SBHAP initiative towards its overarching goals; and
WHEREAS, the OPRI/SBHAP funds will continue to be utilized to bolster housing subsidies and facilitate essential services inclu ding housing search and placement, annual housing inspections, and landlord/tenant mediations; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to award grant agreements with service providers for the HUD OPRI Supportive Housing Programs, subject to available appropriated OHA funds, using up to $600,016 in Measure Q funds and $17,103 GPF as specified in Table 2; and
WHEREAS, OHA also funds the Local Housing Assistance Program (LHAP) and intends to provide $100,000 to support the Matilda Cleveland Families in Transition Program operated by East Oakland Community Project (EOCP) from FY 2023-2024 through FY 2024-2025; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to award and amend the grants and professional serv ices agreements for existing programs as specified in Table 3 to add OHA LHAP funds, State of California Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) funds, and $223,839 in Measure Q funding to support critical homeless hygiene and shelter services; and
WHEREAS, staff is seeking authority to receive and appropriate $140,000 in funds from SSA’s Winter Shelter funding to enter into grant agreements with agencies selected through an RFQ process to provide shelter and supportive services; and be it
