PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION:
On October 3, 2022, the City Council approved the acceptance of the Los Angeles County’s Chief Executive Office Homeless Initiative (CEO-HI) Interim Housing Services Grant award for a total of $164,138 in HHAP 3 funds. On February 24, 2025, the City Council approved the acceptance of a second round of funding in the amount of $180,675.
DISCUSSION:
In FY 2024-25, the CEO-HI awarded the City of Pomona an additional $180,675 to continue operating the CCOGIHS program. The program's term shall remain in effect until June 30, 2026. Through implementing the CCOGIHS Program, the City will have the opportunity to maximize the use of funds for direct assistance to unhoused families to quickly move them from interim housing into permanent housing while simultaneously working alongside community networks to target wrap-around supportive services specific to families experiencing homelessness.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (Board) aims to strengthen the County's homeless and housing services system. On January 25, 2022, the Board approved a motion directing the Chief Executive Office Homeless Initiative (CEO-HI) to create a $10 million CCOGIHS Fund to support services associated with interim housing projects within the County's jurisdictions. The County was allocated funding from the State of California Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program Round 3 (HHAP 3). HHAP 3 funding provides flexible block grant funds to Continuum of Care, large cities with populations of 300,000 and more, and counties to curate and implement the regional coordination created through previous California Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council grant funding. In addition, it supports local jurisdictions in their unified regional responses to homelessness.
On May 25, 2022, the City of Pomona submitted a CCOGIHS Program application to secure funding to operate a non-congregate interim housing site at 1172 E. Pasadena St., Pomona. The five-unit property was acquired, rehabbed, and occupied by families. The City's CCOGIHS Program application was approved for funding by CEO-HI on August 17, 2022. The total CCOGIHS Program award was $164,138 for operational and administrative costs.
The City's CCOGIHS Program is to serve and target families with children currently enrolled in Pomona Unified School District (PUSD). The families will work alongside an assigned case manager and community network to develop housing service plans to reach self-sufficiency. In addition, the families will receive connections to requested supports such as substance abuse services, physical and mental health resources, employment and vocational services, educational services, legal aid, childcare, domestic violence resources, and much more.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES & GOALS: This item supports City Council Goal K: – to reduce the unsheltered homeless population by 10% annually and take actions to mitigate the impacts of homelessness on the community.
