EXHIBIT A-1
STATEMENT OF WORK
SOUTH BAY CITIES COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
LOCAL SOLUTIONS FUND
I. Overview
Homelessness is a regional crisis. As such, one of the top priorities of the Chief Executive Office’s Homeless Initiative (CEO-HI) is to continue strengthening the collaboration between the County and diverse stakeholders, including the 88 cities in Los Angeles County. Since cities have jurisdiction over planning/land use activities and have the insight to support locally specific solutions, cities play a unique role in our countywide efforts to prevent and combat homelessness.
The Councils of Governments (COGs) have a unique and important role in facilitating a regional approach with their member cities to address homelessness.
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) includes the unincorporated South Bay areas of Los Angeles County and the cities of: Carson, El Segundo, Gardena, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lomita, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, Torrance, and Los Angeles 15th Council District communities of San Pedro, Harbor City, Harbor Gateway, and Wilmington.
The SBCCOG Board of Directors is comprised of elected officials from each of the SBCCOG’s member cities and County Districts 2 and 4 and serves as the primary governing body taking actions to support endeavors aimed at maximizing the quality of life and productivity of the South Bay region.
To increase city participation in the County’s New Framework to End Homelessness, the strategic emphasis is to create co-investment opportunities that lead to an increase in each cities’ ability to respond at a local level to community members’ greatest concerns in alignment with the New Framework, while leveraging cities’ unique capabilities to increase access to housing.
Information on the required deliverables for the Local Solutions Funds. COGs shall use Local Solutions Funds (LSF) to implement activities that align with the CEO-HI’s New Framework to End Homelessness. The New Framework to End Homelessness outlines the following strategies for cities and COGs.

II. Objective
The SBCCOG will use this funding to manage the tasks described below, including coordinating with cities to participate in inter-jurisdictional activities and advancing regional solutions and approaches that align with the New Framework to End Homelessness.
III. Tasks
Task 1: Regional Homelessness Coordination
Task 1A: Regional Homelessness Coordination
Task 1A Description: The SBCCOG will support the region’s response to homelessness by working with member cities and unincorporated area partners to identify each city’s homeless housing needs, and support seeking additional inventory in the private and public housing market to house people experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.
The SBCCOG will conduct Homelessness Taskforce meetings with member cities, agencies, and partners to create a regional response to homelessness. At least 100 meetings overall; this includes monthly performance check-ins with each program and quarterly meetings with city homelessness services staff. Regional homelessness coordination activities will include information sharing, communicating best practices, presentations, trainings, city and county collaboration, programming services, monitoring outcomes, homelessness updates, providing technical assistance, legislative support, funding identification, and support to cities in implementing projects. The COG will maintain a city contact list and a homeless programs resource guide, focused on synthesizing the programs offered by the SBCCOG, the County and Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, and release public-facing quarterly reports providing metrics on the SBCCOG’s programs to ensure effective communication across the region. Additionally, the COG will collaborate with Supervisorial District 2 to address the unincorporated areas identify Caltrans sites to interim housing development.
SBCCOG will support the Beach Cities Mobile Crisis Response Pilot launch in 2024.

Task 2G. Shared Housing Locator with Focus on Senior Population Task 2G Description: The shared Housing Locator will develop an inventory of pre-screened landlords in the South Bay and work with case managers to match participants to available units, engaging with landlords to provide education on various incentive programs. The housing locator may also be tasked to ensure participants have support to stay stably housed.
FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR HOMELESS SERVICES
CONTRACT NO. HI-23-002, AMENDMENT ONE
While the housing locator will serve the general population, the fastest-growing population in the South Bay PEH are seniors (over 40% growth rate the past two years). The SBCCOG will attempt to hire a housing locator with experience working with this population. Senior issues can be unique, and navigating the various senior programs (e.g., In-Home Supportive Services, Adult Protective Services, Medicare, Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly , Social Security Administration ) can be challenging.
The housing locator will identify 1-2 master leases, shelter, PHK, or other development opportunities per quarter. The housing locator will develop database(s), and provide weekly case conferencing updates to case management teams, to identify:
• Pre-screened landlords in the region (200+ landlords) • PSH opportunities, including pipeline and existing inventory (100+ units) • Low-income set aside units (100+ units)
• Master lease, shelter, PHK and other development opportunities (4-8 identified annually)

Task 2H: Home Share South Bay
Task 2H Description: Home Share South Bay updates the age-old concept of home-sharing.
Through this program, compatible homeowners and renters find each other. Once a homeowner and home seeker list their profiles with Silvernest, the site provides support throughout the home-sharing journey. It does this by screening their compatibility based on personal preferences. Rent is negotiated and can be reduced in exchange for household services.
The SBCCOG will refer persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) and those at risk of homelessness to Home Share South Bay. We can help train and navigate participants through the sign-up process. We will also consult with property owners and suggest a rent that is appropriate for our PEH population. The SBCCOG participates in various community events to promote Home Share South Bay.

Task 2L: SHARE Housing to Employment
Task 2L Description: Many of our homeless clients have income but cannot afford to pay full rent. SHARE! provides housing in a shared room environment - often to support those rehabilitating from substance use. For $550 a month, SHARE! can house an individual and provide substance use recovery and employment services. Manhattan Beach is already using general funds to lease SHARE! beds and is pleased with the results.
The SBCCOG will partner with SHARE! to provide shared rooms for our South Bay homeless participants. While in SHARE!, these participants will receive case management, substance use counseling, and linkage to the South Bay Workforce Development Board. The goal of the program is to help participants recover, obtain employment, and meet the following housing goals:
0-90 days: 5 people housed

Task 2M Description: An important strategic focus of the County is to encourage the development of more Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). In coordination with the cities, this program can fund the acquisition of tax default properties, which are on average around $20,000. The cities would own these properties. The program will also match cities with nonprofits who can access additional funding to develop these properties into group homes or PSH.
Amendment #1 deletes this program from this exhibit.
Task 2N: Time Limited Subsidy (formerly known as Shallow Subsidy) Task 2N Description: The SBCCOG Time Limited Subsidy (TLS) program will be offered as a reimbursement program for non-profits and cities with case management staff.
The TLS program will be used for both prevention and re-housing. The program will require participants to graduate from TLS within a 6-12 month window. This program will require the Case Manager to be engaged weekly with the participant to ensure that they are progressing on their housing plan.
One unique component of this program is that the SBCCOG intends to work closely with our Housing Authorities to match our TLS recipients to a Housing Choice Voucher. The idea is to get participants into housing with the subsidy first – and then lease in place with a voucher. The SBCCOG will partner with regional Housing Authorities to secure vouchers for program participants.
