HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the 10th report regarding COVID-19 Homelessness Roadmap funding recommendations.
|
|
|
|
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:
- ADOPT the recommendations contained in the City Administrative Officer (CAO) report dated March 3, 2022, attached to Council file No. 20-0841-S21.
- INSTRUCT the CAO to identify funding for two additional pallets at the Reseda Cabins Tiny Home Village site located at 19040 Vanowen Street, Reseda, CA 91335.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is a potential impact to the General Fund associated with the Reserve Fund loan for Project Roomkey. Because the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) reimbursements are General Fund revenue, if FEMA does not reimburse all costs, then the Reserve Fund loan may not be fully repaid. In addition, if the City programs the FEMA revenue to another program as part of a future budget process, then the loan would need to be forgiven, as the revenue would not be available to repay the loan. There is no impact to the General Fund as a result of the other recommendations in this report at this time. The recommendations in this report will be funded with the City General Fund approved for homeless interventions, CARES Act, and the County of Los Angeles service funding commitment in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22. Beginning in FY 2022-23, the estimated annual cost of the City share of ongoing operations/services costs for the currently approved Roadmap interventions is estimated at $55,052,700, and the annual cost for approved A Bridge Home interventions not included in the Roadmap is estimated to be $9,255,800, for a total of $64,308,500. This annual cost will likely be reduced because of early conversion of Project Homekey sites to permanent supportive housing and will be updated in a future report. Funding for these costs could be covered by the State’s Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) and HHAP Two grants. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations in this report comply with the City’s Financial Policies in that budgeted funds are being used to fund recommended actions.
