MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Carol J Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
DATE: January 9, 2018
SUBJECT: Approve Golden State Finance Authority (GSFA) Amended Second Agreement for Residence Emergency Disaster Assistance Member County: Lake, and authorize the Chair to sign.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On December 20, 2016, your Board approved the GSFA Second Agreement for Residence Emergency Disaster Assistance Program. As you recall, GSFA provided $700,000 in assistance under this Agreement, for Valley Fire survivors.
The GSFA Board approved the County of Lake’s request to reallocate the current $700,000 Grant Funds for Valley Fire Survivors on December 6, 2017. The $700,000 Grant Funds are now allocated in the amounts of $600,000 for Valley Survivors and $100,000 for Sulphur Fire Survivors. The funds are available to survivors for interim rental assistance and housing costs, including assistance with utility bills or home utility reconstruction repairs. Funds are limited to $2,500 per household.
We continue to be very thankful to GFSA for making these funds available, and for agreeing to amend the agreement to enable Sulphur Fire Survivors to receive support for their housing needs. Like before, 5% of funds under this Agreement are able to be used for administration or indirect costs.
Under a separate agreement, North Coast Opportunities (NCO) has made these funds available to qualified Valley Fire Survivors and will now be able to include Sulphur Fire Survivors.
