City Council Staff Report
Resolution: Resolution 2022-48, Approving a Response Letter to the Grand Jury Report on Homelessness and Directing the City Manager to provide the Response Letter to the Presiding Judge, Superior Court of California, County of Stanislaus on behalf of Mayor Jose Aldaco and the Waterford City Council.

SUMMARY:

In Resolution #2022-48, the Council is being asked to approve a response letter to the Grand Jury report on homelessness and direct the City Manager to provide the response letter to the Presiding Judge, Superior Court of California, County of Stanislaus on behalf of Waterford Mayor Jose Aldaco and the Waterford City Council. The City of Waterford is required to respond to the Grand Jury report in accordance with Penal Code §933 and §933.05(f) within 90 days.

ANALYSIS:

The Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury (Case #22-05GJ) took a look at the societal issue of homelessness and issued a report entitled “Homelessness: The Elusive Definition of Success.” The Grand Jury determined that homelessness is a growing problem around the country and defined Homeless as individuals or family lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. The Grand Jury identified unemployment, lack of affordable housing, mental health, substance abuse, domestic abuse and family conflict among the contributing causes.

The Grand Jury identified dozens of public agencies, private organization and non-profits working to reduce homelessness but found it hard to evaluate the coordination, effectiveness and accountability as the efforts appear to be fragmented. The Grand Jury found that efforts to coordinate all these agencies and their activities lacked accountability. With the significant dollars spent to address homelessness, the lack of accountability was problematic and can undermine the public’s confidence.

The Grand Jury report and the proposed City Response letter is included in the draft resolution as exhibits attached hereto for Council review. This included six (6) findings and five (5) recommendations.

The council will be asked to make any recommended changes at the dais for incorporation in the final response letter and direct the City Manager to file the response on behalf of the Mayor and Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Response to the Grand Jury Report does not in itself have a fiscal impact. However, future mandates required to address homelessness may have a fiscal impact ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The City finds and determines with certainty that sub-recipient agreement is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), and that the activity is covered under the general rule that CEQA applies to only projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Not approve the Grand Jury Response Letter. Staff does not recommend this alternative as we are required in accordance with Penal Code §933 and §933.05(f) to provide a written response within 90 days.

2. Provide direction to Staff.

Honorable Robert B. Westbrook
Presiding Judge, Superior Court of California, County of Stanislaus P.O. Box 3488
Modesto, Ca 95353
Honorable Robert B. Westbrook,
The City of Waterford has received the Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury report dated June 16, 2022 and is providing the following response on behalf of Mayor Jose Aldaco and the Waterford City Council to the findings and recommendations as required per Penal Code §933 and §933.05.

F1. The number of homeless in Stanislaus County fluctuates from year to year but is increasing over time. This trend was exacerbated the COVID-19 pandemic.

Partially agree
Point-in-Time (PIT) data is the metric use for your statement. While the PIT is fairly accurate as to the trends in homelessness, it does not represent verifiable data. Waterford’s PIT has fluctuated from zero to six over the years but it is safe to say we have never had zero homeless.

During PIT counts, there are times when homeless are not found by the survey crew but do exist. As to the statement that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the number of homelessness, we have no verifiable data to suggest such but it is likely some have entered homelessness due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

F2. The most significant causes of homelessness are lack of affordable housing, substance abuse, and mental health.

Partially agree
Homelessness is due to a myriad of reasons inside and outside the individuals span of control.

Lack of affordable housing, substance abuse and mental health issues are contributing factors but there are other reasons. Each individual’s story is different and must be served according to their needs.

F3. Efforts to better coordinate the system of care are underway. These include the Stanislaus Homeless Alliance at the policy level, and the Homeless Management Information System at the operational level.

Partially agree
CSOC is the legal entity that provides oversight of state and federal funds used in the County.

These funds come with strict parameters for the use. The SHA endeavors to assist with the implementing of the recommendations of the CSOC priorities.

F4. Since over half of the homeless each year are in the care system for the first time, efforts to prevent homelessness have not been successful enough. Without greater prevention success, homelessness cannot be reduced.

Agree
Stronger efforts should be made to support individuals at risk of homelessness and serve them before they become homeless.

F5. Despite enormous funding for homeless programs and despite the fact that there are many individual successes, overall, the system to date has not reduced homelessness.

Agree
Great strides have been taken to place individual and families experiencing homelessness in housing for homeless, low barrier shelters and traditional shelters serving larger cities.

Unfortunately, smaller cities have not seen improvements in housing homeless as our numbers do not raise to the point of financing major shelter improvements.

F6. There is insufficient accountability for the effective use of homeless funds. While many agencies are accountable to their funding sources, primary responsibility for measuring accountability and effectiveness rests with the Community Services Agency, the Community System of Care, and the Stanislaus Homeless Alliance.

Partially agree
Accountable measures are in place for all funding as required by the State and Federal funding.

Our understanding is that through the implementation the ICS system, we will see improvements in community level accountability that relates to Jobs/Housing placement, case work, etc.

R1. More accountability needs to be introduced into the system. The Community System of Care, the Stanislaus Homeless Alliance, and the Community Series Agency should take the lead, demand verifiable performance, and focus funding and other resources on those agencies and organizations with demonstrable success. This should be done by jointly adopting a performance evaluation system prior to allocation of the next round of federal homeless funding.

Progress on achieving the eight goals set forth in the Stanislaus 2021 Regional Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness should be included in performance evaluations.

Partially agree
See F6 above. Also, inclusion of the 8 goals in the Homeless Action Plan should be included in an annual report to the community which will include performance metrics including outcomes related to the funding.

R2. More focus should be given to preventing homelessness. To the extent there are funds not earmarked for other purposes, in the budgeting process of each jurisdiction, priority should be given to allocating these funds for affordable housing, substance abuse treatment, and mental health services.

Partially agree
The funds that CSOC administrates, have specific uses as deemed by the State and Federal funding agencies. CSOC does not have latitude to use funds outside those guidelines. Further discussion should occur to enhance the funding guidelines that allow more suitable use of funding for our county’s needs.

R3. All cities in the Country should continually be encouraging the construction of significantly more affordable housing. They should evaluate their plans, procedures, and requirements with the goal of balancing community goals, standards, and aspirations with the need for affordable housing.

Agree
We always encourage development of affordable housing but we are unable to mandate said price point. The development community outside those that specialize in affordable housing development, tend to follow market pricing. Market pricing development itself is beneficial as increasing the supply of housing will eventually make rents more affordable. Those that specialize in the development of affordable housing typically need significant government partnership in the area of funding and tax breaks for which we can mandate affordable convenance. Unfortunately, we have not had success getting affordable housing developers interested in Waterford for quite some time.

R4. All cities should report annually to the Community System of Care and Stanislaus Homeless Alliance on the steps they have taken to help produce more affordable housing.

Agree
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at (209) 874-2328 ext. 103 should you have questions.

Sincerely,
Michael Pitcock
City Manager
City of Waterford
