Important note: The following was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 23, 2015 (this is a shortened version of a larger report, attached below):
Samaritan House, in collaboration with the Core Agency Network -- Homeless Prevention Assistance Program
The Homeless Prevention Assistance Program, also known as emergency housing assistance, provides temporary, targeted support to low-income households to prevent homelessness. Clients may receive security deposits, rental assistance, and short-term grants based on critical family need and available financial resources. Samaritan House serves as the fiscal and administrative sponsor on behalf of the Core Agency network for this homeless prevention assistance. A waiver of the RFP process is in the County’s best interests because this is a continuing initiative for which Samaritan House, in collaboration with the Core Agency network, has already been providing the requested services.
