body
BACKGROUND:
Measure K is the half-cent general sales tax initially approved by San Mateo County voters in November 2012 and extended in November 2016 for a total of thirty years.
On March 9, 2021, and March 23, 2021, the Board of Supervisors (Board) held study sessions on Measure K expenditures and anticipated revenue for fiscal years (FY) 2021-23. The Board-appointed Measure K sub-committee, consisting of Supervisor Pine and Supervisor Canepa, convened the study sessions to, among other things, work with staff to facilitate the Board’s development of Measure K priorities and continuing initiatives for FYs 2021-23. The Board approved $5 million in one-time loans or grants for the FY 2021-23 budget cycle, divided equally among the five supervisorial districts, for district-discretionary needs and projects. District 3 has submitted a request to use their district-discretionary Measure K funds as shown below and described in the Project Summary section of this memorandum:

|
District 3 (Supervisor Horsley) - California Clubhouse: to pilot the next phase of the Supported Employment Program for one year. |
$75,000 |
This item is consistent with the criteria for district-discretionary Measure K funds approved by the Board in December 2018.
DISCUSSION:
This is a request to authorize a grant to California Clubhouse and resulting grant agreement, in an amount not to exceed $75,000, to pilot the next phase of the Supported Employment Program by hiring one full-time employee to provide additional evidence-based supported employment development, placement, training, and support services.
This position will work with organization leadership and the Department of Rehabilitation to position California Clubhouse to apply to be a Department of Rehabilitation Community Rehabilitation vendor. The goal of this pilot is to position California Clubhouse to expand long-term funding sources, thus increasing organizational financial sustainability.
California Clubhouse is dedicated to offering hope, encouragement, and opportunities to people who live with mental illness. The organization opened its doors in San Mateo County in April 2015 and has since worked to empower and dignify those living with mental illness on the Peninsula.
The County Executive’s Office will administer and manage the proposed agreement.
