Curry SUBJECT: Approval of Letter of Support for Continuum of Care Emergency Shelter DEPARTMENT: County Administrator BCC DISTRICT: All STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Continuum of Care, Opportunity Place shelter on Lovejoy Road requests approval for continued use as an emergency shelter and provider of outreach activities. BACKGROUND: On May 19, 2009, the Board approved the facility housing the Opportunity Place as an emergency shelter and provider of outreach activities. Opportunity Place is a fully conceived "shelter plus" program. Single women and families come not just for shelter and food, but a chance and the resources to heal, to grow, and to move on. Twelve family units are available, so that each family can have privacy and time. Four common areas allow adults to play with their children, children to play with each other, and adults to pool their resources. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations require non-profit organizations to receive certification of local government approval prior to accepting an Emergency Solutions Grant award. This approval signifies the knowledge of the referenced program operating in the local government jurisdiction. OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve letter for the Continuum of Care organization so that it may continue to receive grant funding. RECOMMENDED BY: APPROVED BY: James D.
