Jill Kowalski, DPSS

On June 20, 2018, HUD released the 2018 HUD CoC Program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) with a submission deadline of September 18, 2018. A timeline for completing the NOFA is included as a handout. The 2018 HUD CoC Program NOFA allocation for Riverside County is:

• Final Pro Rata Need (FPRN) $11,738,579 • Domestic Violence Bonus (10% of FPRN) $1,173,858 • Bonus (6% of FPRN) $704,315 • Planning Grant - $352,157

There are three decisions the BoG acted on related to completion of the 2018 HUD application are: Approve list of eligible renewal projects ranked in order of score: Motion was made by Susan Larkin to approve all of the projects eligible for renewal to be ranked in order of score from highest to lowest to be included in the 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application. Angelina Coe seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Yay – 7; Nay – 0; Abstention – 0; Recusal – 1: Emilio Ramirez, City of Riverside. Motion carried. (1) New this year, HUD is allowing eligible renewal projects the ability to consolidate two or more eligible renewal

projects (but no more than four projects) into one project application during the application process (see page 8 for a more detailed explanation).

• To be eligible for consolidation, projects must have the same recipient and be for the same component; and

Page 1 of 6 County of Riverside, CoC: Board of Governance Minutes 7.12.2018 Draft for approval 9.20.2018

5a3. Request for Proposal for Domestic Violence Bonus and Bonus projects:

they will be funded in this competition only with FY 2018 funds (meaning no funds recaptured from prior years will be awarded to the project). HUD will not permit projects with the following characteristics to consolidate that have: a) outstanding audit or monitoring findings; b). outstanding obligation to HUD that is in arrears; c). unresolved construction delays; d). history of poor financial management/drawdown issues; e). history of low occupancy levels, or lack experience in administering the project type; or f). or other capacity issues.

• DPSS proposed to evaluate the above criteria to consolidate projects using the most recent Annual Performance Report (APR) for the projects; and using the most recent monitoring summary for each project. DPSS will also consult with the HUD Field Office in Los Angeles to confirm consolidation eligibility.

Motion was made by Ray Osborne to approve the consolidation of eligible projects based on the criteria set by HUD in the 2018 NOFA using the most recent Annual Performance Report (APR) and most recent monitoring report to evaluate whether renewal projects may be consolidated. Chuck Washington seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Yay – 8; Nay – 0; Abstention – 0. Motion carried. 2018 HUD CoC Program DV Bonus and Bonus projects: (2) The 2018 HUD CoC Program NOFA allows CoCs to apply for the following:

o Domestic Violence (DV) Bonus - up to 10 percent of its Preliminary Pro Rata Need (PPRN), or $1,1,73,858, to create up to three projects;

o Bonus - up to 6 percent of its Final Pro Rata Need (FPRN) and may apply for more than one bonus project or $704,315.

Motion: Approve the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to seek competitive proposals to be included in the 2018 HUD CoC Consolidated Application in one or more of the following components:

Domestic Violence (DV) Bonus Project: Bidders may submit proposals for the following project components: (a) Permanent Housing-Rapid Re-Housing projects dedicated to serving survivors of domestic violence,

dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking that are defined as homeless in 24 CFR 578.3; (b) Joint Transitional Housing (TH) and Permanent Housing – Rapid Re-Housing (PH-RRH) component

projects dedicated to serving survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking that are defined as homeless in 24 CFR 578.3; or

(c) Supportive Service Only-Coordinated Entry project (SSO-CE) to implement policies, procedures, and practices that equip the CoC’s coordinated entry to better meet the needs of survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

Bonus Project: Bidders may submit proposals for the following project components: (a) Permanent Housing-Permanent Supportive Housing (PH-PSH) projects where 100 percent of the beds

are dedicated to individuals and families experiencing chronic homelessness, as defined in 24 CFR 578.3.


(b) New Permanent Housing-Rapid Rehousing (PH-RRH) projects that will serve homeless individuals and

families, including unaccompanied youth; (c) Joint TH and PH-RRH component projects as defined in Section III.C.3.m of this NOFA to better serve

homeless individuals and families, including individuals or families fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

(d) Dedicated HMIS project for the costs in 24 CFR 578.37(a)(2) that can only be carried out by the HMIS Lead.

(e) Supportive Services Only (SSO-CE) project to develop or operate a centralized or coordinated assessment system.

Angelina Coe suggested that the motion be separated into two. The board agreed to the two new motions below: Public Comment: Lynne Brockmeier, RUHS-BH, said that they plan to apply for the DV bonus to create a CES for DV providers. She said this will help with license fee costs to add new users to HMIS for CES and to expand capacity in HMIS for the CES. Public Comment: Florence White, Executive Director, Alternatives to Domestic Violence (ADV) stated that she was unable to attend the mandatory workshop, and therefore is unable to apply; however, she acknowledged that Alternative for Domestic Violence has the capacity to meet the requirements for the DV Bonus project if funded. -- Amended Motion was made by Susan Larkin to approve the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to seek competitive proposals to be included in the 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application for the three Domestic Violence Bonus Project Components. Karyn Young-Lowe seconded the motion. Motion carried. Roll Call Vote: Yay – 8; Nay – 0; Abstention – 0. Motion carried. Amended Motion was made by Angelina Coe to approve the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to seek competitive proposals to be included in the 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application for one or more of the Bonus Project Components. Susan Larkin seconded the motion. Motion carried. Roll Call Vote: Yay – 8; Nay – 0; Abstention – 0. Motion carried.

5b. State funding for homelessness: Overview and impact on Riverside County

Dr. Joe Colletti, DPSS Consultant

On June 21, Dr. Joe Colletti of Urban Initiatives presented information and analysis of the homeless funding that will be coming from the state as part of SB 2. The BoG asked that Dr. Colletti provide additional and updated information on the funding sources included in the state budget and guidance on what decisions the BoG will need to ensure the greatest impact and use of these funds countywide. Tammy Marine proposed a special workshop to be held on August 2nd to further discuss upcoming funding including the Housing Emergency Aid Program (HEAD) and California Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).

5c. State Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)

Jill Kowalski, DPSS

An RFP for the first allocation of ESG (federal) funds in the amount $300,452 was completed July 6. The BoG approved appropriating the funding as follows: a minimum of 40% ($116,806) to be used for Rapid Rehousing; and


funding awards the balance ($183,646) to be used for Homelessness Prevention. DPSS presented a detailed overview and summary

of the proposals received. The BoG determined which proposal(s) to fund for each category based on the amount of funding available in this round. Rowena Concepcion presented that four applications were received and passed threshold: (1) Catholic Charities – Homeless Prevention (2) Coachella Valley Rescue Mission – Rapid Rehousing (3) Coachella Valley Rescue Mission – Homeless Prevention (4) Path of Life Ministries – Homeless Prevention. See 2018 State ESG Proposals Summary handout. Public Comment: Leonard Jarman spoke to the BoG about the Path of Life Homelessness Prevention application submitted for State ESG. He said they currently have State ESG funding to pay for two housing/landlord locator positions that will serve the entire CoC. He stated that Path of Life Ministries was asked to apply for funding for these positions. The contract has been delayed and was just received a few weeks ago. Path of Life requested funding to continue to support the two housing locator positions for the CoC. Motion was made by Susan Larkin to approve the proposals to include Catholic Charities (CCSBRIV) and Coachella Valley Rescue Mission (CVRM) for State ESG funding based on the information presented by DPSS. Ray Osborne seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Yay – 7; Nay – 1; Abstention – 0. Motion carried.

5d. HUD mandated Emergency Transfer Plan in CoC written standards


HUD is requiring that each CoC establish an emergency transfer plan for victims of domestic violence that is part of the CoC written standards for administering CoC program assistance under the HEARTH Act (24 CFR 578.7(a)(9)(ii), (iii) and (v)). This is required to be completed prior to the start of the projects awarded funds in the FY 2017 CoC Program Competition. Dr. Colletti presented the recommended wording that should be included in the CoC written standards for review and comment by the Board of Governance. The recommended wording for the Emergency Transfer Plan will be shared with the Continuum of Care for review and comment. The finalized wording for the plan will be presented to the Board of Governance for approval on August 16. This item is tabled to the next meeting agenda.

4. New BUSINESS 4a. 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application

4a1. Consolidation of projects in 2018 HUD

Consolidated Application:

4a2. Domestic Violence

Bonus and Bonus projects to be included

Rowena Concepcion, DPSS and Dr. Joe Colletti

• The BoG approved the criteria for allowing renewal projects that meet HUD requirements to consolidate two or more projects in this year’s application. Three agencies submitted requests to consolidate projects:

• Housing Authority of the County of Riverside (HACR): consolidate 4 projects • Jewish Family Services (JFS): consolidate 2 projects • Step Up On Second: consolidate 2 projects

• The requests were submitted to HUD and were approved. Only two of the agencies, HACR and JFS, met HUD’s approval criteria to consolidate projects. Step Up on Second is not recommended for project consolidation due to significant unspent funds and low bed utilization in both projects.

Motion was made by Leticia DeLara to allow the Housing Authority of Riverside County (HACR) and Jewish Family Services (JFS) to consolidate projects in the 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application. Greg Rodriguez seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Yay – 11; Nay – 0; Abstention – 0. Motion carried. • On July 12 the BoG approved the DV bonus and bonus project components to be included in a local Request for

Proposal (RFP) that was released by DPSS July 13 with a deadline to submit proposals by Aug. 3. The proposals submitted did not meet the amount of funding available, so DPSS extended the RFP deadline to Monday, Aug. 13 at 10 a.m. A summary of the projects that applied for the DV Bonus was provided as a hand-out to the BoG that was


in the 2018 HUD

Consolidated Application:

reviewed by DPSS staff. A scorecard for each project was also given to the BoG and reviewed by DPSS staff: Total DV Bonus funds available: $1,173,858

Proposals submitted: • CES: Riverside University Health System-Behavioral Health: $250,000 for CES expansion. • Rapid Rehousing: Corona-Norco United Way (CNUW): $154,524 to serve 25 clients (10 units). • Rapid Rehousing: Housing Authority of the County of Riverside: $288,764 to provide 15 units. • Rapid Rehousing: City of Riverside: $350,000 to serve 31 clients with 10 units. Only one application can be included per program component, so DPSS recommended that one RRH project be submitted that would consolidate the three projects as one project to be submitted by DPSS. Assistant County Counsel Tiffany North asked Mayor Rusty Bailey to recuse himself from the discussion and vote since the City of Riverside has a conflict on this item. Mayor Bailey left the room. Michelle Davis, who is also with the City of Riverside asked if she should also leave the room. Tiffany said since Michelle represents the CoC and not the City of Riverside on the BoG, she could remain in the room. Leticia DeLara asked if the score of 53 (out of 100) for the CNUW proposals was “too low.” Rowena explained that the score is weighted because they are a new project and some of the questions are not applicable. She said the project’s weighted score is 83% (of 100). Leticia also asked if they are going to have the capacity to serve the entire county as indicated in their application since their service area is Corona/Norco. The BoG asked CNUW Executive Director Allen Villalobos said that United Ways do have geographic borders, however, CNUW is no longer a “pass-through” agency and provide direct services so they are able to broaden their service area. He confirmed CNUW would be able to serve the entire county. Angelina Coe mentioned that Shelter from the Storm based in the desert has been referring clients to CNUW.

Jennifer Claar, DPSS Assistant Director, said that since only one project could be submitted for each program component, DPSS has approached each of the agencies that applied for the DV Bonus RRH and asked if they would agree to be part of one application with DPSS as the project applicant. She presented this to the BoG for their approval and said that each of the agencies have agreed to this. Michelle Davis said this would make our county’s application more competitive. Since DPSS would be the responsible entity, HUD would allow a project to be transferred to another agency if necessary. Public Comment: Florence White, Executive Director, Alternatives to Domestic Violence (ADV) asked the Board to consider the importance of service quality, capacity, and DV experience in addition to the applicant agencies’ scorecards prior to making a decision on the DV Bonus funds. She expressed the need to make sure that the applicants have the ability to serve the clients. Motion 1: Approve one Rapid Rehousing project and the CES SSO project to be included as the DV Bonus


funding in the 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application. The motion was amended by Ray Osborne to: Approve the consolidation of the three Rapid Rehousing projects to be included with the CES SSO project as the DV Bonus funding in the 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application. Ron Vervick seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Yay – 10; Nay – 0; Abstention – 0; Recusal – 1: Mayor Rusty Bailey, City of Riverside. Motion carried. DPSS staff reviewed the Bonus project applications received. A summary and scorecards of the project proposals was shared with BoG members. Total Bonus funds available: $704,315.

Proposals submitted: • Rapid Rehousing (RRH): Social Work Action Group (SWAG): $240,796 to serve 13 clients in 13 units. • HMIS Expansion: County of Riverside Dept. of Public Social Services (DPSS): $214,936 to add a position to allow DPSS to

expand capacity to do data analysis, customized reports, dashboards and database capacity to accommodate CES. • Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH): City of Riverside: $350,405 to serve 14 clients with 14 units. • Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH): Step Up on Second: $378,528 to serve 19 clients with 19 units. SWAG is a new agency that is applying for CoC Program funds for the first time. Rowena Concepcion said HUD encourages CoCs to fund new agencies. She also said we need to increase RRH in our CoC. The decrease in RRH beds affected our CoC score last year. The number of RRH beds decreased by 92 beds from 2017 to 2018. Even with RRH beds funded by State ESG funds, there will still be a significant shortfall of RRH beds. Susan Larkin said she has a concern about Step Up’s current PSH projects not being at capacity and leaving significant unspent funds. Natalie Komuro asked if this was due to them being a first-year project or if there were other performance issues. Rowena said this is based on their first year (that ended June 30, 2018) and that more than $700,000 was left unspent for both projects combined. Tammy Marine asked someone from Step Up could address the BoG. Barbara Bloom, CFO of Step Up, told the BoG that they are a new provider in Riverside County/San Bernardino County and had significant staff turnover during the first year of the project. She said they are currently fully staffed and believe they are on track to being successful in their second year. She said Step Up applied for the Bonus funds this year because “we are committed to serving Riverside County.”

Motion 2: Approve the HMIS expansion project, the Rapid Rehousing project submitted by Social Work Action Group (SWAG) and one Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project to be included as the Bonus funding in the 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application. The motion was amended by Leticia DeLara to approve the HMIS expansion project, the Rapid Rehousing project submitted by Social Work Action Group (SWAG) and the City of Riverside Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project with a reduced amount ($248,563) to be included as the Bonus funding in the 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application. Susan Larkin seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Yay – 10; Nay – 0; Abstention – 0; Recusal – 1: Mayor Rusty Bailey, City of Riverside. Motion carried.


4a3. 2018 HUD CoC Program Consolidated Application Tier 1 and Tier 2 project ranking:

Mayor Rusty Bailey was asked to come back to the meeting. It was determined that the City of Riverside still had a conflict with the next agenda item because a City of Riverside project is included in Tier 2, so he left the meeting. Dr. Joe Colletti gave an overview of what is required to rank the projects in the application in Tier 1 and Tier 2. He explained that the projects that are “not scored” should be included in Tier 1. • Tier 1 includes the renewal projects and will be prioritized based on the approved ranking and is equal to 94% of the

CoC’s annual renewal demand or $9,070,564. • Tier 2 includes renewal and new projects, and is the difference between Tier 1 and the CoC’s ARD plus any amount

available for bonus projects or $1,283,287.
