CONTRACT: Youth Bridge Housing
SUMMARY OF SERVICES
Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC) shall provide Youth Bridge Housing
services, including eight (8) beds for individuals and four (4) beds for families. Bridge Housing
serves as short-term housing when a household is unsheltered or has been offered a
permanent housing intervention, but the permanent housing opportunity is still being arranged.
The goal of the program is to ensure 1) those preparing to enter permanent housing are
housed and easily located, receiving the necessary services to access permanent housing in a
timely manner and 2) youth who are unsheltered and not appropriate for the adult triage center
have an emergency bed available. Services will be housing-focused and highly integrated with
both the permanent housing provider and the participant's Navigator.
TARGET POPULATION
The target population is homeless youth, between the ages of 18 and 24 years at point of entry
into services, who are unsheltered and not appropriate for the adult triage center, or who have
been directed to Youth Bridge Housing from the Coordinated Entry System (CES). Services
shall be provided within the geographical boundaries of the FMCoC in California, which includes
the counties of Fresno and Madera.
YOUTH BRIDGE HOUSING SERVICES
1. Youth Bridge Housing: Operate 12 bridge housing beds for youth households that have
been assessed for permanent housing utilizing the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care
(FMCoC) CES. Referrals for Youth Bridge Housing beds shall come from the FMCoC
CES. However, in the event the Fresno EOC Sanctuary Transitional Shelter is full, and
an unsheltered youth is not appropriate for the adult triage center, Fresno EOC will
prioritize the client based upon the need for emergency shelter services. Basic services
will include meals, showers, transportation, storage, pet care, communication, laundry
facilities, clothing, and hygiene items. The maximum length of stay is six (6) months,
subject to exceptions for documented situations. Bed utilization procedures shall support
the needs of the youth in the community.
Revised Exhibit A-1
Page 2 of 3
2. Case Management: Provide services and activities necessary to help participants
prepare for permanent housing placement and to achieve long-term housing stability.
Services include, but are not limited to the following:
a. Development of a housing plan based on each household's unique
circumstances.
b. Coordination of services with permanent housing providers to ensure necessary
appointments are made and that the participants attend.
c. Coordination of services with housing Navigators.
d. Provision of supports necessary to foster self-sufficiency.
e. Linkage to community resources to increase benefits or employment income.
3. Diversion Pre-Screening: assess guests who present for homeless services at the Youth
Bridge Housing facility for potential Diversion services, and if deemed appropriate, refer
immediately to Diversion staff within the FMCoC.
CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES
Fresno EOC shall:
• Adhere to a low-barrier, Housing First shelter policy. Youth Bridge Housing must be open
to all eligible applicants regardless of sexual orientation, marital status, or gender
identification. Participants must be allowed to enter with their partners, possessions, and
pets.
• Allow for 24-hour participant access and not exclude people because of intoxication,
mental illness, or curfew.

appropriate homeless services through a warm hand-off to the FMCoC CES.
• Accept referrals from the FMCoC CES. In the event the number of referrals exceeds the
number of available beds, prioritize referrals using Coordinated Entry.
• Distribute a weekly Youth Bridge Housing bed availability report to the FMCoC and the
CES. Fresno EOC will engage in daily, ongoing collaboration and communication with the
FMCoC and the CES to ensure that they are aware of available beds.
• Enter participant information into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)
in compliance with HEAP and HUD data collection, management, and reporting standards.
• Provide post-exit supportive services (excluding housing) to prior Youth Bridge Housing
participants for approximately 3-6 months, so long as participant is not receiving
supportive services from some other FMCoC provider.
• Collect data on the housing status of past participants at 30 and 60 days after exit.
• Provide annual Civil Rights training to staff in the beginning of every calendar year and
provide relevant proof to the County of Fresno by April 1.

Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program Round 2 (HHAP-2)
Standard Agreement
EXHIBIT A
AUTHORITY, PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
1) Authority
The State of California has established the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and
Prevention Program Round 2 ("HHAP-2" or "Program") pursuant to Chapter 6
(commencing with Section 50216) of Part 1 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety
Code. (Added by Stats.2020, c. 15 (A.B. 83), § 7, eff. June 29, 2020.)
The Program is administered by the California Homeless Coordinating and
Financing Council ("HCFC") in the Business, Consumer Services and Housing
Agency ("Agency"). HHAP-2 provides one-time flexible block grant funds
to Continuums of Care, large cities (population of 300,000+) and counties as defined
in the November 13, 2020 HHAP-2 Notice of Funding Availability ("NOFA") 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 along with all its exhibits ("Agreement") is entered into by

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
statutes include, but are not limited to, Government Code section 1090 and Public
Contract Code sections 10410 and 10411.
a) Current State Employees: No State officer or employee shall engage in any
employment, activity, or enterprise from which the officer or employee receives
compensation or has a financial interest, and which is sponsored or funded by
any State agency, unless the employment, activity, or enterprise is required as a
condition of regular State employment. No State officer or employee shall
contract on his or her own behalf as an independent Grantee with any State
agency to provide goods or services.
b) Former State Employees: For the two-year period from the date he or she left
State employment, no former State officer or employee may enter into a contract
in which he or she engaged in any of the negotiations, transactions, planning,
arrangements, or any part of the decision-making process relevant to the
contract while employed in any capacity by any State agency. For the twelve-
month period from the date he or she left State employment, no former State
officer or employee may enter into a contract with any State agency if he or she
was employed by that State agency in a policy-making position in the same

Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program Round 2 (HHAP-2)
Standard Agreement
EXHIBIT A
AUTHORITY, PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
1) Authority
The State of California has established the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and
Prevention Program Round 2 ("HHAP-2" or "Program") pursuant to Chapter 6
(commencing with Section 50216) of Part 1 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety
Code. (Added by Stats.2020, c. 15 (A.B. 83), § 7, eff. June 29, 2020.)
The Program is administered by the California Homeless Coordinating and
Financing Council ("HCFC") in the Business, Consumer Services and Housing
Agency ("Agency"). HHAP-2 provides one-time flexible block grant funds
to Continuums of Care, large cities (population of 300,000+) and counties as defined
in the November 13, 2020 HHAP-2 Notice of Funding Availability ("NOFA") 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 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 purpose of, the Program. In signing this
Agreement and thereby accepting this award of funds, the Grantee agrees to comply
with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the NOFA under which
the Grantee applied, the representations contained in the Grantee's application, and
the requirements of the authority cited above.
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
Initial Here

funding are encouraged to reference the Guide to Strateqic Uses of Key State
and Federal Funds to Reduce Homelessness During the COVID-19 Pandemic
c) Be deployed with the goal of reducing the number of homeless individuals in a
given region through investing in long-term solutions, such as permanent
housing, and that the state be an integral partner through the provision of
technical assistance, sharing of best practices, and implementing an
accountability framework to guide the structure of current and future state
investments.
In accordance with the authority cited above, an application was created and
submitted by the Grantee for HHAP-2 funds to be allocated for eligible uses as
stated in Health and Safety Code section 50220.5, subdivision (d)(1) — (8).

BUDGET DETAIL and DISBURSEMENT PROVISIONS
1) Budget Detail & Changes
The Grantee agrees that HHAP-2 funds shall be expended on uses that support
regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address immediate
homelessness challenges. Such activities must be informed by a best-practices
framework focused on moving people experiencing homelessness into permanent
housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their
permanent housing.
The Grantee shall expend HHAP-2 funds on eligible activities as detailed in
the expenditure plan and funding plan submitted with the Grantee's approved
application. The Grantee shall submit an updated funding plan with
the annual report that revises and reports all actual and projected expenditures of
HHAP-2 funds.
a) Budget Changes
i) Changes may be made to the timing (e.g., fiscal year) of eligible use
expenditures without prior approval by the Agency so long as the total
expenditures (actual and projected) for each eligible use category remain the
same as described in the expenditure plan approved with
the Grantee's application.
ii) Any decrease or increase to the total expenditures for
any eligible use category must otherwise be approved by the Council's
HHAP-2 Grant Manager or his/her designee, in writing, before
the Grantee may expend HHAP-2 funds according to an alternative
expenditure plan. The HHAP-2 Grant Manager will respond to Grantee with
approval or denial of request. Failure to obtain written approval from the Grant
Manager or his/her designee as required by this section may be considered a
breach of this Agreement. A breach of this agreement may result in remedies
listed within Exhibit C of this agreement.

Program (Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 50210)), the program established
under this chapter, and COVID-19 funding to reduce homelessness. This funding

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

AIDS), mental disability, medical condition (cancer/genetic characteristics), age

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.

serving on a board, committee, or body with the primary purpose of administering
