Title
Consider recommendations regarding Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) subrecipient agreements for the Santa Maria/Santa Barbara County Continuum of Care (CoC) and the County of Santa Barbara allocations, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify and authorize the Chair to execute sub-recipient agreements, effective October 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025, for the distribution of State of California HHAP funding from the Santa Maria/Santa Barbara County CoC and the County of Santa Barbara allocations with the following providers in the specified not to exceed amounts, subject to annual appropriations and adopted budget funds:
i) $251,151.00 to NBCC, dba New Beginnings for Rapid Re-Housing;
ii) $205,014.00 to Good Samaritan Shelter for Rapid Re-Housing; and
iii) $521,716.00 to Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley for Services Coordination and Rapid Re-Housing; and
b) Determine that 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 Sections 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; and 15378(b)(5), finding that the recommended actions consist of administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
