SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH FAMILY PROMISE OF SOUTH BAY TO CONTINUE SERVICES FOR HOMELESS PREVENTION AND RAPID REHOUSING THROUGH FY 2022-23 (HOUSING AUTHORITY)
Body
I. SUMMARY
On February 18, 2021 the owner of Park Granada Mobile Home Park filed for bankruptcy with the bankruptcy court forcing the eventual closure of the park and displacement of park residents. On June 15, 2021 the Carson Housing Authority authorized $170,000 for homeless prevention and rapid rehousing. (Exhibit No.1). A portion of these funds, $56,595.00, have already been used to provide temporary housing and other related services/uses for Park Granada residents to prevent them from becoming homeless due to circumstances beyond their control, mainly due to the closure of the park ordered by the bankruptcy court.
The Carson Housing Authority and Family Promise of South Bay entered into a one-year agreement on July 28, 2021 in the amount of $23,300 to assist with the relocation process for residents of the park. The relocation process is still ongoing and is expected to conclude next fiscal year. If approved, this contract amendment will allow Family Promise to continue to provide relocation assistance until alternative housing has been provided for qualifying park residents. The remaining funds from the original $170,000 allocated by the City Council will be used for this purpose.
