Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Community Action Plan to address homelessness updates including the addition of state outcome goals required by the California Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program, as follows:
a) Receive and file a presentation on homelessness in Santa Barbara County to ensure compliance with State of California and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements, including:
i) HHAP Local Homelessness Action Plan and Action Plan Template program landscape analysis, funding analysis, outcome goals and strategies for achieving those goals;
ii) Community Action Plan to Address Homelessness Year 1 Progress Report;
iii) Encampment Resolution Six-Month Progress Report; and
iv) 2022 Point in Time Count/Housing Inventory Chart (PIT/HIC) Report;
b) Approve the Outcome Goals from the HHAP Local Homelessness Action Plan and Action Plan Template and their inclusion in the Community Action Plan to Address Homelessness, which are required for the application, acceptance, and administration of the remaining 80% disbursement of HHAP Round 3 funds allocated to the Santa Maria/Santa Barbara County Continuum of Care and the County of Santa Barbara;
c) Provide other direction, as appropriate; and
d) Determine the above recommended actions are not the approval of a project that is subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), finding that the actions are organizational or administrative activities of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
