Title
Consider recommendations regarding California Encampment Resolution Fund, Round 2 (CERF-2) allocation of Interim Housing Funds for Hope Village and Rainbow Village with Good Samaritan Shelter, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Subrecipient Agreement with Good Samaritan Shelter, to allocate $273,750.00 in CERF-2 for interim housing at Hope Village dedicated to persons living in encampments near waterways, increasing the bed count from a maximum of 10 to a maximum of 20, subject to annual appropriations and budget approval;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Subrecipient Agreement with Good Samaritan Shelter, to extend the agreement term to September 30, 2025 and to allocate $54,250.00 in CERF-2 funding for interim housing at Rainbow Village in Lompoc for persons living in encampments near waterways, subject to annual appropriations and budget approval; and
c) Determine that the above recommended actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) as the actions involve the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve a commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
