Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Council appropriate the $3,628,371 Encampment Resolution Fund Program (ERF), Round 2 grant awarded in August of 2023, in the 2023/2024 fiscal year capital budget, for the Navigation Center Project (CP0419).
Background Discussion:
On January 17, 2023, Council approved an application for Encampment Resolution Fund (ERF) Program, Round 2 funds to help cover a funding gap in the Visalia Navigation Center construction budget. In August 2023, the City was notified of an award of ERF, Round 2, in the amount of $3,628,371. These funds were specifically awarded by the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) for use in the construction of the Navigation Center project. Appropriation of these funds is required to complete the budget process for the Navigation Center project construction, which is nearing completion. This action will allow proper allocation of project expenses for this approved funding source.
Fiscal Impact:
The full amount of the ERF, Round 2 award, $3,628,371, has been received by the City and deposited in a separate ERF fund (332). Approval of this appropriation will include these funds in the Navigation Center budget (CP0419) for 2023/2024 fiscal year. No General Fund money is included or requested for this project.
