File Number: 22-565 ·Continued research for additional public funding sources to make this proposed project financially feasible. ·Continued meetings with the motel owner regarding acquisition. ·Contracted with Andrew Hening Consulting to lead the Homekey 3.0 application process for the City and its partners. Hening Consulting has experience in helping jurisdictions in Marin and Sonoma Counties successfully receive State Homekey funding. ·Re-assessed the existing project development team. The City and Eden Housing, Inc., mutually determined that Eden Housing would not be involved in the next Homekey submittal. Therefore, City staff held meetings with other experienced nonprofit developers with more experience in both homeless services and development of shelters and permanent affordable housing. Abode Services/Allied Housing based in Fremont has expressed serious interest in serving as co-applicant with the City for Homekey 3.0. ·Re-assessed the existing project management and services team. The City will continue working with the local nonprofit Building Futures, which will focus on being the supportive services provider for the interim navigation center/shelter. The City met with experienced property management organizations during the summer and the nonprofit Housing Consortium of the East Bay (HCEB) based in Oakland has expressed serious interest in serving as property manager for the interim navigation center/shelter since Building Futures does not have the capacity to be the property manager. HCEB has experience providing housing for persons with disabilities and/or who are homeless. ·Preparing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the City’s nonprofit partners for Homekey 3.0 to enable the revised project team and City staff to begin planning the Homekey 3.0 application with Andrew Hening Consulting. Similar to the MOU previously executed with the City, Building Futures, and Eden Housing, Inc, this updated MOU with Abode Services, HCEB and Building Futures will memorialize a non-financial partnership to work together. Any substantial funding agreements with the nonprofit partners will be presented to City Council for approval. ·Preparing a community engagement plan with key stakeholders (homeless population, nonprofit service providers) which will be required under the next State Project Homekey application guidelines.
