RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
SIGN A LETTER OF LOCAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
SUPPORTING THE COUNTY OF SAN MATEO'S
ENCAMPMENT RESOLUTION FUNDING PROGRAM
(ERF) GRANT APPLICATION
WHEREAS, the State of California's Encampment Resolution Funding Program (ERF) is a $350
million competitive grant program available to assist local jurisdictions in ensuring the wellness and safety
of people experiencing homelessness in encampments by providing services and supports that address their
immediate physical and mental wellness and result in meaningful paths to safe and stable housing; and
WHEREAS, the County of San Mateo will be requesting $20 million for a three-year project that
anticipates moving 91 people into permanent housing by June 30, 2026. The project is part of a countywide
Working Together to End Homelessness effort and will utilize the new San Mateo County Navigation
Center's 240 units for temporary housing as a stepping stone while also leveraging state Homekey funds
with which we plan to create new permanent housing; and
WHEREAS, the County's plan is comprehensive and brings together health, housing, and
homelessness specialists to deliver the needed outreach, case management, and other supports needed to
achieve our project's goals and, ultimately, the county's goal of net -zero homelessness; and
WHEREAS, the City has long partnered with the County in its pursuit of providing affordable
housing in a high-cost region and support of this application aligns with the City's affordable housing goals
outlined in the City's General Plan.
