File Number: 23-051 Marin and Sonoma Counties successfully receive State Homekey funding. ·Formed a new development team and entered into a new partnership agreement. While Building Futures remains as the supportive services provider for the Homekey project proposal, the City has brought on two experienced regional nonprofits in place of Eden Housing: Allied Housing (Allied) and Housing Consortium of the East Bay (HCEB). Allied Housing, based in Fremont, has extensive experience in permanent supportive housing for the homeless in the Bay Area, and will serve as developer for the interim navigation center/housing phase and the long-term permanent supportive housing phase. HCEB will serves as property manager of the interim navigation center/housing phase. ·Continued internal meetings among City Human Services Department, Housing Division, and nonprofit partner staff to prepare for the Homekey 3.0 application. ·Because the navigation center and permanent supportive housing are a top City Council priority, City Council and staff have been exploring gap funding, if needed, to acquire the Nimitz Motel. Obtaining State Project Homekey funding this year is still critical to ensuring the proposed interim navigation center/shelter to permanent support housing will be successfully implemented. Project Homekey rules allow the City to be reimbursed for all, or a substantial portion, of local City funds used for acquisition gap funding if the City is awarded Homekey funding next round. The use of one-time City surplus General Fund as gap acquisition funding (for an amount not to exceed $3.2 million) was reviewed at the City Council Finance Committee meeting on February 22, 2023. See Financial Impacts section below for further information.
