DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Health and Social Services recommends the Board receive a presentation on the current status of Shelter Solano, located at 375 Beck, Fairfield, CA.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Mission Solano Rescue Mission indicated in Spring 2018 that it could no longer operate 310 Beck Avenue, Fairfield, CA as a transitional housing shelter due to ongoing financial difficulties. In response, the City of Fairfield issued a Request for Proposal for a new operator and Shelter, Inc., was selected. Shelter, Inc. created a subsidiary, Shelter Solano, Inc., to act as the local service provider and administrator of services and officially took over operations of the facility on February 1, 2019.
On January 22, 2019 the Board approved Contribution and Start-up Match Funding Agreements with Shelter Solano, Inc. The recommended presentation will update the Board on the current status of the shelter.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the Department’s FY2018/19 Adopted Budget
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to receive the presentation from Shelter Solano, Inc.; however, the Board has previously requested a status update and the presentation provides the opportunity for the Board to receive that information.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The County Administrator’s Office worked with H&SS on the preparation of the Board report.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
