CORRELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS: Homelessness and Housing PRIOR ACTION: On September 12, 2023, discussed the status of the City’s homeless shelter program, proposed changes to the agreement for shelter beds, and options for expediting the opening of the non- congregate shelter and directed staff to bring necessary items to the City Council at the September 26, 2023 meeting (Vote: No Vote).

On August 11, 2020, adopted City Council Resolution No. 2020-140, approving an agreement with Interfaith Community Services, Inc. to provide shelter beds to address homelessness in Vista (Vote: 5-0).

STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The City is a member of the Alliance for Regional Solutions (Alliance), which was founded in 2006, through the efforts of local government officials and non-profit leaders to create an emergency shelter network. Since 2020, the City has contracted with the Alliance for $200,000 annually to prioritize up to ten shelter beds per night in the Alliance's existing low-barrier shelters for unsheltered persons in Vista. As it’s fiscal agent, Interfaith Community Services, Inc. contracts with the City directly on behalf of the Alliance. Shelters in the Alliance network include the Interfaith Shelter Network of seasonal rotating shelters around North San Diego County, Haven House in Escondido, Operation Hope North County in Vista, and Catholic Charities La Posada de Guadalupe (La Posada) in Carlsbad. Of these shelters, Haven House and La Posada are the only shelters that operate year-round and have low barriers for admittance. Because of these characteristics, the City of Vista’s Homeless Outreach Teams (Vista HOT), contracted with Exodus Recovery to utilize these two shelters on a consistent basis for bed placement for clients they engage with and accept shelter.

MEETING DATE: September 26, 2023 PAGE 2
SUBJECT: INTERFAITH COMMUNITY SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR SHELTER BEDS Since early January 2023, City staff had been receiving reports from Exodus Recovery that clients referred to Alliance network shelters have not been able to be placed immediately in shelter due to capacity issues at the shelters. Members of Vista HOT have expressed that the inability to place clients in shelter as they are requested often creates a hesitation from clients to accept continuing services who are already hesitant to accept initial services, such as shelter. The City of Vista also relies on daily availability of shelter beds to allow for the enforcement of illegal camping ordinances in accordance with the Martin v.

Boise court ruling.

On September 12, 2023, City Council held an emergency meeting to discuss the above matters and discussed staff’s recommendation that a new contract with Interfaith Community Services for the continued provision of shelter beds within the Alliance shelter network include the following obligations to the City:

1.Submit performance reports monthly, by the 15th day of the month following the end of the reporting month. The format of reporting forms will be determined by the City and may be revised from time to time. Monthly reports must be submitted regardless of whether any activity took place during the reporting period. Reporting metrics to be included with monthly reports shall include, but not be limited to:
a.Total number and date of referrals received from Vista HOT i.Total number of such referrals that resulted in successful placement of a client in a shelter bed.
ii.Total number of such referrals that did not result in a successful placement of a client in a shelter bed and description of why the client could not be placed. b.Total number and date of requests for shelter intake of all Vista residents not referred by Vista HOT
i.Total number of such requests for shelter intake that resulted in successful placement of a Vista resident in a shelter bed.
ii.Total number of such requests for shelter intake that did not result in a successful placement of a Vista resident and description of why the resident could not be placed.
c.Details of sheltered Vista residents which include shelter name, basic demographics information, dates of entry and exit, exit destination, and other information as requested by the City.

2.Submit expenditure reports and reimbursement requests monthly, by the 15th day of the month following the end of the expenditure period. Backup documentation demonstrating the total number of bed nights utilized by Vista residents, currently agreed upon per diem rate of shelter bed nights, and methodology for determining clients’ Vista residence must be included.

3.Designate a single point of contact to communicate shelter bed availability on a daily basis, which may be a designated member of staff or electronic document accessible by the City and its designees.

4.Designate a single point of contact to communicate updates on shelter status and events that will affect the availability of shelter intake, including but not limited to, shelter capacity and operational impediments.

5. Attend Vista service provider working group meetings and other events as requested by the City.

6.Ensure program/agency information is included on 211 San Diego.

As described above, staff recommends that the new agreement with Interfaith Community Services include a Not to Exceed contract total of $200,000 annually for 12-months, with an option to extend for an 09/26/2023 D1 2 of 25
