INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br /> * �' '� AGENDA ITEM <br /> � Assistant County Administrator/ <br /> Department of General Services <br /> Date: April 28,2015 <br /> To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners <br /> Thru: Joseph A. Baird, County Administrator <br /> From: Michael Zito, Assistant County Administrator <br /> Subject: HUD Grant Renewals for Homeless Manage en Information System (HMIS) and <br /> Continuum of Care (CoC) Program <br /> DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br /> The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development("HUD") will continue offering permanent <br /> supportive housing to persons experiencing homelessness as well as services including health care, and <br /> mental health counseling. Applications were submitted for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Continuum of Care <br /> (CoC) Program and were officially awarded in January of 2015. The grants are divided into two <br /> categories: Supportive Housing Program Grants (HMIS) and Continuum of Care (formerly Shelter Plus <br /> Care) Program. The grants are administered by the Treasure Coast Homeless Services Council, Inc. <br /> ("TCHSC") in cooperation with the Human Services Division of the State Health Department and Indian <br /> River County. <br /> In the past, the County has advanced payment requests to the TCHSC upon receipt of a letter from HUD <br /> acknowledging the grants and prior to receipt of the actual grant renewal agreements. Last year, the <br /> Board of County Commission approved the reimbursement of funds advanced by the TCHSC following <br /> receipt of the award letters but prior to receipt of the renewal agreements. This year the TCHSC has <br /> agreed to withhold any reimbursement request until the grant renewals are received from the <br /> Jacksonville Office. <br /> There is no longer a requirement for the execution of the entire grant agreement as has been the case in <br /> the past. There is only the "scope of work" which will contain relevant project information as outlined <br /> in Exhibit#C. <br /> ANALYSIS: <br /> Two grant renewals highlighted below have already expired prompting the TCHSC to once again <br /> request the County to expedite the approval process upon receipt of the award letters and grant renewals. <br /> According to recent correspondence from the TCHSC, the grant awards have been announced and are <br /> posted to the HUD website. In order to expedite the execution of the grants, the TCHSC is requesting <br /> advance approval of the renewals subject to review and consent by the County Attorney's Office. <br /> F:Wssistant County Administrator\AGENDA ITEMS\2015\BCC 05 MAY 2015\BCCMemo-05-05-2015 HUD Grant Renewals Final.doc 168 <br />
