BACKGROUND:
In May 2016, San Mateo County’s Center on Homelessness issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking providers of technical assistance for homeless programs, Continuum of Care, and governance consulting to support systems change and the efforts to end homelessness in San Mateo County. On October 28, 2016, the Human Services Agency (HSA) awarded an agreement to HomeBase/The Center for Common Concerns, Inc. (HomeBase) to provide the Center on Homelessness with technical assistance and training to homeless service providers in the amount of $98,000 for the term of October 27, 2016 through June 30, 2017.
DISCUSSION:
HSA is requesting approval of this amendment to continue its services in the areas of training and technical assistance to homeless service providers and community partners. Through this amendment, HSA will utilize the collective knowledge of the homeless service providers and align these organizations with the new homeless system procedures and strategic plan. HomeBase is a non-profit and public policy law firm dedicated to building community capacity to end homelessness and reduce poverty.
The resolution contains the County’s standard provisions allowing amendments of the County’s fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
County Counsel has reviewed and approved this amendment and resolution as to form.
This amendment contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Prosperous Community by providing technical assistance and training to homeless service providers in order to enhance knowledge, align practices and address the issue of homelessness with a unified path and strategy as detailed in San Mateo County’s new Strategic Plan to End Homelessness by 2020. It is anticipated that the overall rating for workshops and trainings conducted will show that 90% of participants will rate workshops and training at “good” or better. It is further anticipated that 90% of all project milestones will be completed on time.
