Title
Adopt City Council Resolution Approving the Second Amendment to the Subrecipient Agreement with Mendocino Coast Hospitality Center for the Public Service Activity Funded by CDBG #12-CDBG-8388 and Authorizing City Manager to Execute Same (Amount Not to Exceed $285,370; Account No. 302-5001-0630)
Summary
The City's 2012 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) #12-CDBG-8388 provides $462,500 to operate the Homeless Mental Health Intervention Program (HMHIP) for approximately thirty months, until September 30, 2015. HMHIP provides targeted, intensive intervention services to homeless individuals who are exhibiting mental health issues who are not currently receiving treatment or regular services. HMHIP is operated by Mendocino Coast Hospitality Center (MCHC) and Mendocino Coast Clinics per Subrecipient Agreements with each entity. The Agreements include a scope of work and budget approved for the grant application in March 2012 and amended after the grant award in February 2013. Client services are initiated by MCHC, and the number of clients eligible for HMHIP has significantly exceeded projections. In addition, client needs have varied from those anticipated in the original program budget, with less need for expensive direct medical services and increased need for case management, ancillary medical services and counseling. The HMHIP operators have determined that a re-allocation of the remaining funding will allow more effective service to clients. Specifically, the operators agree that remaining budget of $144,789 should be moved from Mendocino Coast Clinics to MCHC. MCHC will use this funding to add another Outreach Case Manager as well a Substance Abuse Counselor. In addition, MCHC will coordinate at least two major homeless health information and engagement events. The original and proposed budget and scope of work for MCHC and Mendocino Coast Clinics is attached as Second Amendment Exhibit A.
