Report
Summary
SVdP provides emergency shelter services for those experiencing homelessness at the Shelter. The services will include: day and nighttime operations, including security (24/7), beds for up to 200 individuals, three meals per day for all residents, connection to services related to ending homelessness, laundry, clothing and hygiene supplies, support case conferencing efforts and coordination with all other providers to connect individuals to needed services and housing. The funding source is requested to be changed to CDBG-CV funds as they are unspent from other providers and have a shorter expenditure deadline than ARPA funds. This will ensure that all CDBG-CV funds are used for community needs prior to expiration of those funds.
Contract Term
The term of the contract began on or about Nov. 1, 2022, and ends on Dec. 31, 2024.
Financial Impact
The total value of the contract will remain the same and not exceed $4 million. Funding is available from ARPA and ESG-CV. The ESG-CV funding is only applicable for expenditures during the period May 3, 2023 through Sept. 30, 2023. There is no impact to the General Fund.

City Council approved this contract (Ordinance S-49102) on Oct. 26, 2022.
