Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Resolution to apply for No Place Like Home Noncompetitive Allocation Funds, Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-2019, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Resolution authorizing and directing the Director of Behavioral Wellness Department to apply for, and accept if awarded, the No Place Like Home Noncompetitive Allocation Award from the State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development, in the form of deferred payment loans up to $2,582,696.00;
b) Approve and authorize the Director of Behavioral Wellness to act on behalf of the County in connection with the No Place Like Home Noncompetitive Allocation award, as required by the program, to execute the Santa Barbara County No Place Like Home Noncompetitive Allocation application and all related documents on behalf of the County; and
c) Determine that the approval of the recommended actions is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) since the recommended actions are government fiscal activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
