Resolution authorizing the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (“HSH”) to execute a Grant Agreement with the California Board of State and Community Corrections (“BSCC”) for a total amount not to exceed $7,999,999 of Proposition 47 Grant Program, Cohort 4 grant funds; to retroactively accept and expend those funds for a program, entitled “Housing, Expungement and Recovery through Treatment and Support Services” or “HEARTTSS,” for costs incurred October 3, 2024, through June 30, 2028; and authorizing HSH to enter into any additions, amendments, or other modifications to the Grant Agreement that do not materially increase the obligations or liabilities of the City or materially decrease the benefits to the City.

The BSCC issued a Request for Proposals for the Proposition 47 Grant Program, Cohort 4, aimed at supporting mental health and substance use disorder treatment.

HSH submitted a proposal for the HEARTTSS program to the BSCC, focusing on housing and recovery services for criminal justice-involved adults.

HSH received an award notice from BSCC for $7,999,999 in Proposition 47 grant funds for the HEARTTSS program.

HSH submitted a memo to the Board of Supervisors requesting retroactive approval to accept and expend the grant funds, effective from October 3, 2024.

The Budget and Finance Committee recommended the resolution to the Board of Supervisors for approval.

The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution authorizing HSH to execute the grant agreement and accept the funds.

The Mayor approved the resolution, finalizing the authorization for HSH to proceed with the grant agreement.
