Exhibit A INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FLORIDA AGENDAITEM Assistant County Administrator / Department of General Services CONSENT AGENDA 5-3vv-t5 �e�da. Date: April 28, 2015 To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners Thru: Joseph A. Baird, County Administrator From: Michael Zito, Assistant County Administrator Subject: HUD Grant Renewals for Homeless Manage en Information System (HMIS) and Continuum of Care (CoQ Program DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: ,t The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") will continue offering,permanent supportive housing to persons experiencing homelessness as well as services including health care, and mental health counseling. Applications were submitted for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Continuum of Care (CoQ Program and were officially awarded in January of 2015. The grants are divided into two categories: Supportive Housing Program Grants (HMIS) and Continuum of Care (formerly Shelter Plus Care) Program. The grants are administered by the Treasure Coast Homeless Services Council, Inc. ("TCHSC") ,in cooperation with the Human Services Division of the State Health Department and Indian River County. In the past, the County has advanced payment requests to the TCHSC upon receipt of a letter from HUD acknowledging the grants and prior to receipt of the actual grant renewal agreements. Last year, the Board of County Commission approved the reimbursement of funds advanced by the TCHSC following receipt of the award letters but prior to receipt of the renewal agreements. This year the TCHSC has agreed to withhold any reimbursement request until the grant renewals are received from the Jacksonville Office. There is no longer a requirement for the execution of the entire grant agreement as has been the case in the past. There is only the "scope of work" which will contain relevant project information as outlined in Exhibit #C. ANALYSIS: Two grant renewals highlighted below have already expired prompting the TCHSC to once again request the County to expedite the approval process upon receipt of the award letters and grant renewals. According to recent correspondence from the TCHSC, the grant awards have been announced and are posted to the HUD website. In order to expedite the execution of the grants, the TCHSC is requesting advance approval of the renewals subject to review and consent by the County Attorney's Office.
