BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
After review and discussion with the Commission regarding metrics received
by CVAG, CVRM and MVK regarding homelessness services provided during
Quarters 1 and 2 of the previous year, Staff and the Commission concluded
that adequate response and services are being provided by these homeless
providers with the funding allotted. For this cycle, Staff proposes the following
funding options:
Option 1:
Provide $250,000 in total contributions as follows:
x Provide CVRM with $83,333;
x Provide MVK with $83,333 for their continued services
including a program known as the “Homeless Prevention Trial
Program”, a partnership between the City, MVK, and Coral
Mountain Apartments; and
x Provide $83,333 in funding to CVAG, which will not be matched
by DHD this year.
Option 2:
Provide $266,667 in total contributions as follows:
x Provide CVRM with $83,333;
x Provide MVK with $83,333 for their continued services
including a program known as the “Homeless Prevention Trial
Program”, a partnership between the City, MVK, and Coral
Mountain Apartments; and
x Provide $100,000 in funding to CVAG, their requested amount,
which, unlike last year, will not be matched by DHD this year.
Each organization will continue to be required to provide a quarterly report on
their use of the funds, as defined in the renewed MOUs to be drafted.
The Commission has recommended Option 2, pending CVAG and the City
mutually agree upon the terms in the MOU for the majority of services
provided to be for homelessness and those in need that are located in the City
of La Quinta.
ALTERNATIVE
The Authority can direct staff with a new option.
