Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: None. El Dorado County will receive $43,908 through Sacramento County to support HOPWA activities in 2009.
Background: Sacramento County is the applicant/recipient for the Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD)/HOPWA grant and serves as the fiscal intermediary for the allocation of HOPWA funds. El Dorado and other local rural counties receive HOPWA and Ryan White C.A.R.E. Act funding through Sacramento County. Other acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) programs are funded directly by the State under an AIDS Master Grant, and include grants for 1) education and prevention of AIDS; 2) evaluating local interventions for AIDS; 3) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) counseling and testing; and 4) a drug assistance program.
The HOPWA Program provides emergency housing assistance for El Dorado County residents and their families living with HIV disease. Short term assistance and supportive services are provided to qualified persons for rent, mortgage, and utilities to prevent homelessness.
Reason for Recommendation: This new contract with Sacramento County for HOPWA services is for the term January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. El Dorado County HOPWA services are subcontracted out to Sierra Foothills AIDS Foundation, a community-based agency specializing in services to individuals and families afflicted with AIDS. Sierra Foothills AIDS Foundation maintains all appropriate credentialing and has successfully passed annual site reviews.
This agreement is retroactive to January 1, 2009 due to late receipt of documents from Sacramento County. Department staff processed documents immediately and prepared approved documents for the next available Board meeting.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. Board Chairman to sign two (2) copies of Resolution and four (4) original Agreements DHA\CS-ELD-01-09 where indicated.
2. Board Clerk to return one (1) signed Resolution and four (4) signed Agreements to Department.
3. Director to sign Contractor Certification of Compliance Form and Certificate Regarding Lobbying - Enclosure I.
4. Department to forward all signed documents to Sacramento County.
5. Department to return one fully executed Agreement to Board Clerk upon receipt from Sacramento County.
