RECOMMENDATION:
title
Adopt a resolution authorizing an agreement with the City and County of San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development for funding to provide housing and related services to persons with HIV/AIDS for the term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, in an amount not to exceed $641,498.
body
BACKGROUND:
The Public Health STD/HIV Program (SMSH) provides housing and related services to San Mateo County residents affected by HIV/AIDS. Funding for these services comes from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which allocates funding for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program. These funds are administered by the San Francisco Eligible Metropolitan Area: the City and County of San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (SFMHCD).
DISCUSSION:
Most of the funding received under this agreement ($576,125) will be used to contract with a provider of housing services for short-term rent, mortgage assistance and case management services. A small amount of the grant ($65,373) will offset the cost of 1 FTE benefits counselor position, providing services at SMSH. This contract is late due to delays from the federal government in releasing funding amounts to SFMHCD.
The resolution contains the County’s standard provisions allowing amendment of the County’s fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
The agreement and resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form.
The agreement contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by providing housing services, benefits counseling and case management to individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. It is anticipated that these services will enable 94% of clients receiving housing assistance services to maintain or improve their quality of life.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The term of the agreement is July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. The amount of the agreement is not to exceed $641,498 for the contract term. These funds are included in the Public Health, Policy and Planning FY 2017-18 Approved Recommended Budget. Since the County is receiving these grant funds from SFMHCD, there is no Net County Cost associated with this agreement.
