Title
Consider recommendations regarding the submission of Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Applications to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as follows:
a) Authorize the Community Services Director or designee to submit project applications, a written commitment of General Fund match in the amount of $54,909.00, and all certifications, standard forms, and other related documents to HUD for FY 2018 CoC Program Competition funding in the total amount of $350,308.00 for HMIS, HMIS Expansion I, HMIS Consolidation, Santa Barbara County CoC Planning, and Coordinated Entry System (collectively, the “CoC Projects”);
b) Authorize the Community Services Director or designee to execute 2018 CoC Program Grant Agreements and Scopes of Work with HUD for the CoC Projects in a form substantially similar to the FY 2017 CoC grant agreements approved by the Board on July 17, 2018; and
c) Determine that the recommended actions are not the acceptance and approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), finding that the projects are a creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
