BACKGROUND:
Employment Services - Service Connect has secured AB 109 Realignment funding to support rapid re-housing services for formerly incarcerated individuals and their families.
Stable housing plays a vital role in addressing significant reentry challenges by swiftly providing stable housing solutions, preventing homelessness, and establishing a foundation for rehabilitation and employment. By facilitating access to support services, promoting family reunification, and reducing the risk of reoffending, rapid re-housing contributes to successful reintegration into society.
In January 2024, HSA released a Request for Proposal for Rapid Re-housing Services for the period of April 2024 through June 2025. Abode Services was selected to provide these services because its experience, qualifications, and program approach best meets the needs of the County.
DISCUSSION:
HSA is requesting to contract with Abode Services to provide RRH services.
The purpose of this Agreement is to provide RRH services to address significant reentry challenges by providing stable housing solutions, preventing homelessness, and establishing a foundation for rehabilitation and employment. RRH services will include providing housing location services, temporary financial assistance, temporary case management and services, rental and moving assistance to formerly incarcerated individuals and their families.
The resolution contains the County’s standard provisions allowing an amendment of the County’s fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in the aggregate).
The County Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution and the agreement as to form.
