City of Richmond Homelessness Strategic Plan
SCOPE OF WORK, FEE PROPOSAL, AND SCHEDULE
Phase I: Background, Vision, and Initial Outreach
Assessment of Existing Systems and Services – Months 1-3 Environmental Scan and Gaps Analysis
Homebase with gather information and data to develop a baseline understanding of the City of Richmond’s strengths, needs, and gaps in relation to homelessness. As part of this phase, Homebase will carry out an environmental scan and needs assessment/gaps analysis that identifies existing housing and services, unmet needs, and priority gaps to be addressed. This assessment will be conducted based on review of key documents; analysis of HMIS and other data on numbers, needs and performance; targeted discussions with key stakeholders to contextualize the data and information gathered; client focus groups; and/or provider e-surveys. The gaps analysis will look at the homelessness system of care through an equity lens, overall and at sub-population and sub-regional needs and differential access, and it will consider both the need for new programs as well as improvements to the operation of existing housing and services. Our team will also look at current and anticipated impacts and evolving conditions resulting from COVID-19 and its aftermath. We will review and analyze All Home’s Regional Action Plan and other initiatives underway in the city, county, and region to ensure that the plan is informed by and aligned with the work that has already begun.
Establishment of a Strategic Planning Steering Committee In our experience with strategic planning, Homebase has found the early recruitment and engagement of a Strategic Planning Steering Committee has been key to the overall success of the planning process, resulting in shared strategies across departments and other city-wide stakeholders. This Steering Committee would oversee and advance the strategic planning process and may include representatives of the Homelessness Task Force, City Council Ad-hoc Committee on Homelessness, and City Council; members of the community with lived experience of homelessness; and/or other stakeholders identified by the City. If the City of Richmond chooses to convene a Steering Committee, Homebase would attend and facilitate monthly meetings and develop agendas, announcements, and meeting materials. Our team would host the meetings via a virtual platform in light of ongoing public health concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this phase, the Steering Committee would be a forum for initial discussion of persistent challenges and emerging opportunities for critical investment.
The Steering Committee would also review and approve Homebase’s Planning Process and Stakeholder Engagement Plan to establish a guiding vision and goals for the planning process and subsequent Plan implementation.
Community and Stakeholder Engagement – Months 3-5
We have found that engaging a wide range of stakeholders in the planning process and providing meaningful opportunities to provide input and feedback is paramount for a successful strategic plan and implementation. Stakeholder engagement not only supports the development of a community-informed strategic plan; it also serves to build momentum and enthusiasm, building consensus and buy-in on strategies and next steps. As such, Homebase will facilitate a comprehensive community engagement process that ensures that planning and recommendation development is based on concrete information about local needs and resources. Building upon the environmental scan and gaps analysis, we will conduct a deeper assessment of strengths and needs grounded in community engagement via a community kick-off event, virtual stakeholder interviews and focus groups (which may be conducted in Spanish as needed), community work sessions, and meetings with City staff. While we will employ these key methods, we have found that community outreach and engagement is often an iterative process where new ideas, additional gaps, and questions arise throughout the planning process. We therefore develop our processes to leave room for additional outreach and engagement as needed to
City of Richmond Homelessness Strategic Plan
fully assess community needs and resources. Homebase will work with City staff to design and facilitate virtual convenings in light of ongoing public health concerns. Our team has the capability and experience necessary to successfully conduct engaging online meetings with diverse stakeholders that leverage technology, use adult learning principles, and are inclusive of people with varying degrees of access, comfort, and facility with technology. We will work with the City to develop agendas, discussion questions, infographics, and other materials necessary for the following community engagement activities.
Community Kick-Off Event and Planning Workshop
We propose to initiate community engagement with a Community Kick-Off Event / Workshop. This event would be open virtual meeting aimed at achieving early engagement and buy-in from key stakeholders, and the session would be scheduled to ensure broad participation and attendance. The event will be organized with the goal of inviting everyone with any interest in the plan, including City officials and staff, housing and service providers, representatives from schools, law enforcement, healthcare and other affected systems, business and community leaders, individuals with lived experience of homelessness, and members of the general public. If the meeting includes breakout sessions, one of the breakout groups will be facilitated and conducted in Spanish. This event will be structured to both build community-wide support for the planning process and gather initial information to guide planning. As such, meeting participants will receive information about homelessness in the City and general information on best practices and will have the opportunity to provide initial feedback to the process about needs, gaps, and existing service system performance.
Key Stakeholder Interviews
Identifying key stakeholders to provide in-depth information via individual interviews is an important element of the strategic planning process. We will work with the City and/or Strategic Planning Steering Committee to identify 4-5 key stakeholders for interviews. We have also found that stakeholders who may best inform the process via interviews are often identified during the process of community meetings and outreach.
Focus Group Meetings
To further contextualize our analysis of gaps, needs and resources, and to solicit additional input from the community, we also propose a series of 6-8 virtual meetings with key stakeholders, with the participation and structure developed in partnership with City staff. These meetings will include focus groups with individuals with lived experience and direct service providers and may also include an internal inter-departmental City staff meeting, and/or topical subcommittee sessions. These meetings will seek to engage the knowledge and experiences of a cross-section of those closest to the issue of homelessness in the City, including City staff, City Council members, housing and homeless service providers, public and behavioral health providers, business groups, civil rights organizations, court officials, public safety providers, education providers, economic and workforce development providers, neighborhood associations, and especially people with lived experience of homelessness. Focus groups with people with direct experiences of homelessness may be organized by geography, sub- population, or program component. The structure of these focus groups, invited participants, and outreach and engagement methods will be determined in consultation with the Steering Committee and/or City staff and will take into consideration logistical constraints due to COVID-19 as necessary.
We propose to provide gift cards to honor the time of individuals with lived experience of homelessness who participate in focus groups. Focus groups may be conducted in Spanish if desired.
Stakeholder / Provider Survey
In addition to the community-wide kickoff event, individual interviews, and work sessions/focus groups, we propose conducting an e-survey for stakeholders including housing and service providers. We have found that e-surveys allow for an additional avenue to gain input from stakeholders while being respectful of time constraints and other obligations. A Spanish-language version of the survey will be created.
City of Richmond Homelessness Strategic Plan
Synthesis and Recommendations – Months 5-6
Homebase will analyze the information gathered during initial assessment and stakeholder engagement processes to develop a set of findings and recommendations that identify overall strengths and challenges, unmet needs, priority gaps, funding sources, and opportunities present in the City of Richmond to address homelessness. Our team will work with the Steering Committee and/or City staff to flesh out and refine the mission, goals, objectives, and strategies/action steps to guide the City in addressing homelessness over the next five years.
Best Practices and Data Analysis
Homebase will carry out relevant data analysis and research on evidence-based and best practices in similar communities and high performing homeless service systems. This will be informed by our extensive experience developing, implementing and evaluating coordinated entry systems; planning and supporting homeless response and affordable housing systems; providing technical assistance to actualize Housing First programs; and building system capacity through funding, staffing, strong governance structures, community coordination and optimized Homeless Management Information Systems. Homebase will also analyze data related to racial and ethnic disparities and homelessness in Richmond. This information will support the work of the Steering Committee or City staff in considering key elements and recommendations for the strategic plan and ensuring they are not further contributing to inequalities by having a disparate impact on people based on their race or ethnicity.
Presentation of Initial Findings
Homebase will present our analysis, findings, and recommendations to City Council via an online presentation. The presentation will include opportunity for feedback and refinement of priorities and goals.
Phase II: Creation, Out reach, and Presentati on of Strategic Pla n Based on continued input from stakeholders, including City staff, the Strategic Planning Steering Committee, City Council, and other stakeholders, our team will develop strategies and a strategic plan document, through a process that supports actionable implementation.
Draft Plan Strategies and Framework – Months 7-9
Plan Drafting and Feedback
Based on information gathering, analysis, and community input completed during Phase I, our team will develop a draft of initial strategies and the Strategic Plan framework. The framework will include:
x The overall vision statement and mission of the Plan; x Information from the community resources and needs assessment phases, identifying strengths, unmet needs, priority gaps, and opportunities;
x Priority areas for action, as defined by the Steering Committee and other stakeholders, with information clarifying issues and needs;
x Goals, objectives, and recommendations for each priority area of action; and x Concrete implementation plan, identifying responsible parties, timelines, funding sources, and establishing metrics to be used, with data sources, for evaluating success in Plan implementation.
The draft framework and corresponding Strategic Plan may focus more narrowly than the initially information gathering and analysis, at the direction of the Steering Committee (ie. The Steering Committee may choose to narrow the plan to focus on strategies to solve unsheltered homelessness).
Presentations of Initial Strategies and Framework
City of Richmond Homelessness Strategic Plan
Draft strategies and the Plan framework will be presented to the Steering Committee for initial feedback. The strategies will then be presented at a community workshop, open to the public, to develop buy-in and to empower the community to participate in implementation.
Begin Preliminary Implementation
Even prior to Plan finalization and approval, we have found that there are often recommendations identified which have broad consensus, and successful early implementation of these can offer a chance to practice new partnerships, collaboration, and communication, all of which will be essential to full Plan implementation. It also helps to reinforce planning process momentum and purpose. Our team will work with City staff, the Steering Committee, and other stakeholders to identify actions whose implementation can begin immediately. These may be framed as “The First 100 Days” and other very short-term targets to practice aiming at collective targets and achieving success that fuels action for longer-term gains.
Finalization and Approval of Strategic Plan – Months 9-12 Finalize City of Richmond Homelessness Strategic Plan
Homebase will incorporate feedback gathered during presentations of the initial strategies and Plan framework into a final version of the City of Richmond Homelessness Strategic Plan. The Plan will identify City actions that support County and regional efforts, are not duplicative, and leverage additional resources for collective impact on homelessness. We will propose ideas for the City to consider to maximize the impact of its housing and service dollars and to ensure appropriate coordination with the County. Our team will create a Strategic Plan document that is user-friendly, easy to read, and accessible for a broad audience, making use of graphics to illustrate key concepts.
Present Final Strategic Plan
The final Strategic Plan will be presented for approval by the Steering Committee, Homelessness Task Force, City Council ad-hoc Committee on Homelessness, and City Council, as well as by any other appropriate bodies. The final Plan will be focused on key goals and outcomes and will be useable in both print and electronic formats.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend and indemnify the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, regardless of nature or type, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.
Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. Contractor’s obligation to
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13
indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.
(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, its officers, agents, employees or volunteers.
(c) It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Contractor shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers, immediately upon tender to Contractor of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for the claim does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 15. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole, or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. (d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 15 survives completion of the services or the termination of this Contract.
The provisions of this Section 15 are not limited by, and do not affect, the provisions of this Contract relating to insurance.
(e) Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Contract does not relieve Contractor from liability under this Section
15. This Section 15 shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
16. Safety

Contractor acknowledges that under § 2.60.070 of the Municipal Code ("Living Wage Ordinance"), Contractor shall promptly provide to City documents and information verifying its compliance with the Living Wage Ordinance. Also as prescribed in § 2.60.070, Contractor shall notify each of its affected employees with regards to the wages that are required to be paid pursuant to the Living Wage Ordinance.

abide by the terms and conditions of said policies.

General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 9 of 13
under this Contract and shall not assign this Contract, nor any portion hereof or monies due or to become due, without the prior written consent of the City Council or its designee.
Contractor acknowledges that the services which Contractor shall provide under this Contract are unique, personal services which, except as otherwise provided herein, Contractor shall not assign or sublet to any other party without the prior written approval of City, which approval may be withheld in City's sole and absolute discretion. In the event that City, in writing, approves any assignment or subletting of this Contract or the retention of subcontractors by Contractor, Contractor shall provide to City upon request copies of each and every subcontract contract prior to the execution thereof by Contractor and subcontractor. Any assignment by Contractor of any or all of its rights under this Contract without first obtaining City's prior written consent shall be a default under this Contract.
The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Contractor (if applicable), or of the interest of any general partner or joint venturer or syndicate member if Contractor is a partnership or joint-venture or syndicate, which shall result in a change of control of Contractor, shall be deemed an assignment.

CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.
CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.
City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.
Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

1. Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability coverage (ISO Occurrence Form CG 0001)
2. Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability coverage (ISO Form CA 0001, Code 1, Any Auto)

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.
The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.

Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.

The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.
SHOULD ANY OF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED POLICIES BE CANCELLED BEFORE
THE EXPIRATION DATE THEREOF, NOTICE WILL BE DELIVERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE POLICY PROVISIONS.
