Memorandum
Date: June 23, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Report from the County Space Use Committee Regarding the Use of County Juvenile Hall Facility for a Temporary Support Shelter Targeting Lake County’s Chronically Homeless Population
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
During your Board’s June 16, 2020 meeting, you approved the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for daily operations and fiscal management of a temporary support shelter targeting Lake County’s chronically homeless population. Discussion of that item made reference to potential use of the County’s Juvenile Hall facility, which closed as a detention facility October 15, 2015.
You will also recall the concept of using Juvenile Hall as a “Housing Navigational Hub” was discussed urging your May 19, 2020 agenda and your Board approved the use of staff time to research the cost and needs.
Given that the RFP had to be issued on an urgent basis, on June 18, 2020, the Space Use Committee met to discuss use of the Juvenile Hall for a temporary support shelter as described above.
The Committee is supportive of use of Juvenile Hall on a temporary basis for continued compliance with the Governor’s COVID-19 bed requirements and recommends a duration of 6-month, with further consideration during that time as to long-term uses of the facility.
