Recognizing that homelessness is a regional problem, 18 of San Mateo County’s 20 cities have pledged about $200,000 to support Homeless Outreach Team services provided by LifeMoves.
The county contracted with the nonprofit in 2015 for $454,500 to provide street-based outreach to those considered chronically homeless.
Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors is expected to approve spending an additional $374,168 for the service through June 30, 2017, and accept $197,500 in contributions from 18 cities to support the service
The county is boosting its contribution to the HOT program by using $90,099 in Measure A funds and another $86,569 from the county’s general fund.
LifeMoves, formerly InnVision/Shelter Network, currently has two separate contracts to provide the service in both the north and south county.
The board’s action Tuesday will consolidate the two agreements with the Human Services Agency into one.
The contract will allow LifeMoves to hire six full-time outreach managers, said Brian Greenberg, the agency’s vice president of programs and services.
The county’s unsheltered homeless population has dropped in the past few years and Greenberg credits the partnerships between nonprofits and government to make it happen.
“The main goal is to get people off the street,” Greenberg said.
He also notes that currently there are no unsheltered homeless with children living on the street.
“It says a lot about the commitment of the county,” he said.
LifeMoves is opening a shelter for homeless families in Daly City to accommodate 14 families and is doubling the size of its Maple Street Shelter in Redwood City.
The HOT program is conducted in partnership with local law enforcement to address the unmet needs of the chronically homeless and transition them into transitional housing.
Many have addictions and others behavioral health issues. Different clients need different types of interventions, Greenberg said.
HOT’s goal is to provide services and support to the homeless population and remove barriers to housing, according to a staff report by Human Services Director Iliana Rodriguez.
Services include matching a homeless individual’s strengths and preferences with available housing services, documenting homelessness and disabilities, making referrals to the Housing Authority, connecting them to support services and offering shelter, according to the report.
It is anticipated that “157 unduplicated clients” will receive outreach and engagement during fiscal year 2016-17. About a third of these new clients will likely access emergency, transitional or permanent housing, according to the report.
