EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) awarded the City two grants from the Los Angeles County’s Local Solutions Fund for two programs of Redondo’s Enhanced Response to Homelessness. $245,000 was awarded for the City’s Bridge Housing and Motel Stays and $100,000 was awarded for the expansion of homeless court. Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Council approve the two resolutions to appropriate the grants to this Fiscal Year’s budget.
BACKGROUND
On June 4, 2024, the Mayor and City Council approved two amendments to Memorandum of Understandings (MOU) with the SBCCOG: The first amendment to the MOU to accept an additional $245,000 to lease motel and SRO beds to be used for bridge housing and the second amendment to the MOU to accept an additional $100,000 to implement the City’s Homeless Court expansion and interim bed project. Although the agreements were passed in Fiscal Year 2023-2024, the allocations were meant for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The grants now need to be appropriated into this Fiscal Year’s budget. Staff recommends that the Mayor and Council approve both resolutions to
