a) Approve, and authorize the Chair to execute the following amendments to subrecipient agreements for State of California HDAP funds with the specified subrecipients in the specified amounts, subject to annual appropriations and budget approval:
i) First Amendment to Subrecipient Agreement with Good Samaritan Shelter (GSS) allocating $1,214,850.00 in additional funds for Outreach, Case Management, and Housing Assistance to be fully expended by June 30, 2025, for an increased total GSS Subrecipient Agreement contract amount of $2,349,700.00; and
ii) First Amendment to Subrecipient Agreement with Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County (Legal Aid) allocating $205,000.00 in additional funds for disability benefits advocacy and legal services to be fully expended by June 30, 2025, for an increased total Legal Aid Subrecipient Agreement contract amount of $490,000.00; 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.
