Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS) provides administrative oversight of the Lake County Housing Continuum of Care (CoC) which is a coalition and coordinating group that aligns resources to facilitate solutions to end homelessness in our community.
On March 23, 2020, the CoC received an award letter from the California Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council for $79,511.74 in COVID-19 emergency homeless funds to support critical services provided by the Hope Harbor COVID-19 shelter.
The award funds have not been received as of 4/9/2020 and the Hope Harbor COVID-19 shelter is in need of the funding as soon as possible. LCBHS would like to advance the funds through an emergency check in anticipation of receiving the funds.
