STAFFING
Triage emergency shelter and Navigation staffing provided by Poverello must meet the

Code. (Amended by Stats. 2021, Ch. 111, Sec. 4. (AB 140) Effective July 19, 2021.)
The Program is administered by the California Homeless Coordinating and
Financing Council ("HCFC") in the Business, Consumer Services and Housing

to Continuums of Care, large cities (population of 300,000+) and counties to build on
the regional coordination created through previous HCFC grant funding and support
local jurisdictions in their unified regional responses to reduce and end
homelessness.
This Standard Agreement/Initial Disbursement Contract for Funds along with all its
exhibits ("Agreement") is entered into by the Agency and a Continuum of
Care, a city, or a county ("Grantee") under the authority of, and in furtherance of the

award of funds, the Grantee agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Standard Agreement to Apply signed and submitted by the Grantee

2) Purpose
The general purpose of the Program is to continue to build on regional coordination
developed through previous rounds of funding of the Homelessness Emergency Aid
Program (Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 50210)), the program established
under this chapter, and COVID-19 funding to reduce homelessness. This funding
shall:
a) Continue to build regional collaboration between continuums of care, counties,
and cities in a given region, regardless of population, and ultimately be used to
develop a unified regional response to homelessness.
b) Be paired strategically with other local, state, and federal funds provided to
address homelessness in order to achieve maximum impact. Grantees of this
funding are encouraged to reference Putting the Funding Pieces Together: Guide

homelessness in a given region through investing in long-term solutions, such as

d) Agency may give written notice to the Grantee to cure the breach or
violation within a period of not less than 15 days.
7) Waivers
No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any prior
or subsequent breach. The failure of Agency to enforce at any time the provisions of
this Agreement, or to require at any time, performance by the Grantee of these
provisions, shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions nor to
affect the validity of this Agreement or the right of Agency to enforce
these provisions.
8) Nondiscrimination
During the performance of this Agreement, Grantee and its subrecipients shall not
unlawfully discriminate, harass, or allow harassment against any employee or
applicant for employment because of sex (gender), sexual orientation, gender
identity, gender expression, race, color, ancestry, religion, creed, national origin
(including language use restriction), pregnancy, physical disability (including HIV and
AIDS), mental disability, medical condition (cancer/genetic characteristics), age
(over 40), genetic information, marital status, military and veteran status, and denial
of medical and family care leave or pregnancy disability leave. Grantees and Sub
grantees shall ensure that the evaluation and treatment of their employees and
applicants for employment are free from such discrimination and harassment.
Grantee and its subrecipients shall comply with the provisions of California's laws
against discriminatory practices relating to specific groups: the California Fair
Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq.); the regulations
promulgated thereunder (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 2, § 11000 et seq.); and the
provisions of Article 9.5, Chapter 1, Part 1, Division 3, Title 2 of the Government
Code (Gov. Code, §§ 11135 - 11139.5). Grantee and its subrecipients shall give
written notice of their obligations under this clause to labor organizations with which
they have a collective bargaining or other agreement.
9) Conflict of Interest
All Grantees are subject to state and federal conflict of interest laws. For
instance, Health and Safety Code section 50220.5, subdivision (i) states, " For
purposes of Section 1090 of the Government Code, a representative of a county
serving on a board, committee, or body with the primary purpose of administering
funds or making funding recommendations for applications pursuant to this chapter
shall have no financial interest in any contract, program, or project voted on by the
board, committee, or body on the basis of the receipt of compensation for holding
public office or public employment as a representative of the county."
Failure to comply with these laws, including business and financial disclosure
provisions, will result in the application being rejected and any subsequent contract
being declared void. Other legal action may also be taken. Additional applicable
