Activities Detail (Activities Detail (Must Make a Selection on Formula Allocation Application worksheet under Eligible Activities, §301)) In December 2020, the City instituted Pallet Shelter housing. These Pallet Shelters are individual temporary homeless structures The Pallet Shelters were initially jointly funded for 6 months by the City of Redondo Beach and the County using Community Development Block Grant funds. In June 2021, the City Council approved an amendment to the funding agreement with the County to continue to provide the shelters. The goal of the pallet shelter is to provide the people in Redondo Beach who are experiencing homelessness a place to stay while they work on getting permanent housing. This bridge housing brings stabilization to people experiencing homelessness and helps them acclimate to a more structured lifestyle that will allow them to take the necessary steps towards permanent housing.
Complete the table below for each proposed Activity to be funded with 2019-2023 PLHA allocations. If a single Activity will be assisting households at more than one level of Area Median Income, please list the Activity as many times as needed to capture all of the AMI levels that will be assisted, but only show the percentage of annual funding allocated to the Activity one time (to avoid double counting). §302(c)(4)(E)(i) Percentage of
