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 thes e 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, 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 1; and
WHEREAS, each individual HUD CoC program aw ard goes through two competitive funding processes, one on the Alameda County level and one on a federal level; and
WHEREAS, this Resolution would authorize th e City Administrator to accept and appropriate, and enter agreements for use of funding from HUD for the CoC programs in an amount up to $5,650,302, and would identify additional state and local funding for the HUD CoC match requirements, in addition to match funding provided by the grantees; and
WHEREAS, given delays in receiving notice and awards for the FY2025 round of HUD CoC funds, it may be necessary to use backup State and local funding sources to continue operation of the programs until CoC funds are received; and
WHEREAS, the City of Oakland Fiscal Year 2025-2027 Biennial Budget includes Measure Q and general purpose funding (GPF) for homelessness programs and services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted Resolution No. 91098, which accepted and appropriated State of California Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) funding to support homelessness programs and services; and
WHEREAS, City staff expects that the City of Oakland will receive additional HUD funding in FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028 for the sa me programs, 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 agr eements with service providers for the HUD CoC Supportive Housing Programs, subject to available appropriated HUD funds, as specified in Table 1, using up to $1,300,000 of HHAP funds, $127,680 in local Measure Q, and $238,000 in ESG for a portion of HUD’s 25% match requirement and to support ongoing operation of homeless interventions;
WHEREAS, For reasons described in the Agenda Report, awards for the CoC Programs may be delayed, which could jeopardize the con tinuation of these progr ams unless backup State or local funding is identified; and
3 3472869/jf
WHEREAS, The City Administrator desires to pr ioritize these progra ms for continued funding and seeks the flexibility to shift funding allocated to other homeless programs using State and local funding sources that have been or will be appropriated by City Council for homelessness programs and services; now, therefore, be it
