body
Background:
The County of San Joaquin and the San Joaquin Continuum of Care (CoC) announced the availability of funding under Round 4 of the State of California's Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Program. This funding is intended to support jurisdictions in addressing homelessness through eligible activities identified in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) originally issued by the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) in September 2022. Since that time, program administration has transitioned from Cal ICH to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
Under HHAP Round 4, a total of $5,974,760.69 was allocated to two local jurisdictions: the San Joaquin Continuum of Care received $3,082,607.96, and the County of San Joaquin received $2,892,152.73. In September 2024, the County and CoC jointly released a NOFA to distribute these funds locally.
Through this process, the City of Manteca was awarded a total of $258,013.73 in HHAP Round 4 funding. This includes $196,951.73 for operational costs and services at the Unsheltered Emergency Center and an additional $61,062.00 to support street outreach efforts. These funds will strengthen the City's ability to provide critical services to individuals experiencing homelessness and sustain operations at the emergency center located at 555 Industrial Park Drive.
Fiscal Impact:
Staff recommend accepting the grant funds and approving budget appropriations in the amounts of $196,952 for the Interim Housing grant and $61,062 for the Street Outreach grant to both revenue and expenditure account lines in the HUD Grants (Fund 141).
