Title
Consider recommendations regarding the approval of sub-recipient agreements for the State of California Housing and Disability Advocacy Program (HDAP), as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute sub-recipient agreements for the distribution of HDAP funds to the following subrecipients in the specified amounts, subject to annual appropriations and budget approval:
i) Good Samaritan Shelter (GSS) for $1,134,850.00 for Outreach, Case Management, and Housing Assistance; and
ii) Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County (Legal Aid) for $285,000.00 for disability benefits advocacy and legal services; and
b) Determine that the above recommended actions are 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 a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
