body
BACKGROUND:
The current aged Cordilleras Mental Health Center in Redwood City is being replaced with four new Mental Health Rehabilitation Center and co-housing facilities at the newly named Cordilleras Health and Healing Campus (Campus). Services at the new Campus are anticipated to begin in Spring 2024 and will include permanent and transitional housing for 57 consumers in the new Canyon Vista campus center (Canyon Vista).
In November 2022, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking two separate agencies to provide the co-housing program at the newly rebuilt Campus, with one agency providing property management services and one agency providing supported housing services. Telecare Corporation (Telecare) and ABODE Property Management (ABODE) submitted a joint proposal, with ABODE proposing to provide property management services for 57 consumers residing in Canyon Vista. In February 2023, Telecare and ABODE were selected to provide these services. (The agreement for Telecare’s portion of provided services is on the same Board agenda as this item.)
Established in 1980 as a nonprofit corporation, ABODE has provided property management services for affordable housing, serving low-income, homeless, disabled, and other special needs households. ABODE currently provides property and asset management primarily in the Bay Area to more than 52 affordable/supportive housing properties for special needs, vulnerable populations, and/or low-income individuals. Properties that ABODE manages include multifamily, shared single-family homes, single-room occupancy, interim emergency shelter housing, commercial, and hotels.
DISCUSSION:
ABODE will provide property management services for the 57 adult consumers who are seriously mentally ill and residing in Canyon Vista. ABODE will develop and manage the leasing process for all consumers residing at Canyon Vista, including resident selection and intake processing following Housing First principles. ABODE will work closely with Telecare as the support services provider to ensure appropriate and reasonable accommodations are provided.
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 the County Attorney as to form.
The agreement is coming to this Board late due to a delay in receiving the signed agreement back from the provider.
It is anticipated that the contractor will maintain a 100% occupancy rate for the Permanent and Transitional Housing Units and that the percentage of residents responding positively regarding the quality of housing and services provided via an annual satisfaction survey will be 90%.
