Authority Members discussed chronic homelessness and the services and

Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG); Galilee Center offers
assistance by providing food, clothing, and basic needs for local disadvantaged
children, families, and farm workers in the East Coachella Valley, including a
75-bed shelter; providing funding to the Galilee Center would help alleviate
demand of services on the rest of homelessness service providers; if funding
for the Galilee Center is approved, it will be specific to fund operations;
benefits of funding regional as well as local services; and numerous grant
funding La Quinta has provided to the Galilee Center over the years.
Chairperson Sanchez said Erica Felci, Assistant to the Executive Director at
CVAG, provided WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENTS thanking the Authority and the
City’s for its continued partnership and support of the CV Housing First
regional program over the years.
PUBLIC SPEAKER IN-PERSON: Kay Wolff, La Quinta – said she has visited the
Galilee Center many times; those who stay at the shelter can stay as long
they need; refugees are provided governmental assistance to comply with
immigration requirements, and assistance with immigration filings; the center
provides food and medical services to those staying at the shelter, and once
a week food distributions are provided to the community; and the on-site thrift
shop offers goods at very low costs.

PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO AREA HOMELESS SERVICE PROVIDERS AND
HOMELESS PREVENTION PARTNERS FOR FISCAL YEAR6$1' 2022/23

homeless service providers and homeless prevention partners – Coachella Valley

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
x Staff receives quarterly metrics regarding the success of this funding and
can track how it positively impacts the City of La Quinta and Greater
Coachella Valley community.
x For Authority consideration, the Housing Commission recommends the
following allocation totaling $300,000 for 2022/23:
o $100,000 to CVRM
o $100,000 to MVK
o $100,000 to CVAG
FISCAL IMPACT
The Low-Mod Housing Authority fund has a current homeless funding budget of
$250,000 for FY 2021/22 available in account number 243-0000-60532. If
approved, a $50,000 budget appropriation would result in a budget of
$300,000. The Low-Mod Housing Authority Fund has a current fund balance of
approximately $2,790,000 which would be used to increase the budget as
directed.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Commission and Staff recommend providing $100,000 to CVRM, MVK, and
CVAG, as these organizations serve the City of La Quinta, and Greater
Coachella Valley area, assisting with homeless relief efforts and COVID-19
pandemic relief impacting disadvantaged communities.
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
7
Each organization is required to provide a quarterly report on their use of the
funds, indicate how many La Quinta individuals were assisted, and what
services they utilized. Below is a summary of regional accomplishments of each
organization for Calendar Year 2021:
3 CVRM: Over 5,000 unique individuals sheltered, clothed, and fed, when
they would otherwise be homeless.
3 MVK: Over 300 individuals placed into permanent affordable housing
after receiving workforce training and obtaining a job that will provide for
sustainability and cover all expenses.
3 CVAG: 75 chronically homeless individuals placed into permanent housing
through the program.
A standard Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed by all providers,
stipulating annual and quarterly reporting requirements.
Further, during the October 5, 2021, City Council Meeting regarding the
Community Services Grant Program awards, Council direction was given for the
Commission to review the Galilee Center’s request for assistance, as it may
relate to housing and homeless prevention services. During the March 9, 2022
regular Housing Commission meeting, a study session was held discussing the
appropriateness of funding Galilee Center’s request for an annual $5,000 award
related to housing and homeless prevention services. As requested by the
Commission, a tour of the Galilee Center was conducted on April 6, led by Co-
Founder Claudia Castorena for City staff and the Commission. Information
about the history of the facility and services provided to the public was
discussed. Though the services could be considered in relation to the Low-Mod
Housing Fund’s qualifying expenditures of housing and homeless prevention
services, and therefore be required to fulfill the same requirements as
stipulated in the MOUs for other organizations, the Commission noted the
Galilee Center does not provide for La Quinta residents in a close enough
proximity to the facility, and therefore does not recommend funding their
request for assistance.
Staff has prepared three funding options for the Authority to review regarding
FY 2022/23, recommending Option 1, per the Commission’s direction:
Option 1 (Commission Recommendation w/ Budget Increase):
- CVRM: $100,000
- MVK: $100,000
- CVAG: $100,000
TOTAL: $300,000 (Budget increase of $50,000)
8
Option 2 (No Budget Increase):
- CVRM: $100,000
- MVK: $100,000
- CVAG: $50,000
TOTAL: $250,000 (No budget increase)
Option 3 (Consideration of Galilee Center Request and Budget Increase)
- CVRM: $100,000
- MVK: $100,000
- CVAG: $100,000
- Galilee Center: $5,000
TOTAL: $305,000 (Budget increase of $55,000)
ALTERNATIVE
The Authority may deny this adjusted funding request or direct staff to revise
the contribution allocation.
