ADDRESS: 302 Fresno Street, Suite 102, Fresno, CA 90706 TELEPHONE: (559) 237-2961 CONTACT: Margarita Rocha EMAIL: mrocha@centrolafamilia.org CONTRACT: CalWORKs Housing Support Program Services CONTRACT TERM: March 1, 2020 through May 31, 2021 June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022 (optional) June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023 (optional) SUMMARY OF SERVICES Centro La Familia Advocacy Services, Inc. (CLFA) will provide California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) Housing Support Program (HSP) services designed to quickly house families experiencing homelessness and prevent those families from returning to homelessness. CLFA will provide temporary housing, housing financial assistance, housing navigation services, and case management, to help families obtain permanent housing and achieve long-term housing stability. TARGET POPULATION The target populations of CalWORKs HSP services are families that are receiving CalWORKs assistance and are experiencing homelessness, as defined by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS). CLFA will primarily target clients from rural areas, also serving clients from metro Fresno if needed to sustain a full caseload. As required for services, CLFA may use an approved Department office, as designated by the Department. HOUSING FIRST SERVICES In accordance with California state law, programs for housing people experiencing homelessness must follow a Housing First model. For HSP, compliance with Housing First requires the following: 1. Low barriers to entry; 2. Intake process is expedited, client-centered, and flexible; 3. Access to housing is without preconditions; 4. Families are connected to permanent housing as early as possible in case planning; 5. Temporary housing/emergency shelter is offered; 6. Services are client-centered and delivered in accordance with evidence-based practices; 7. Leases or contractual agreements are used and reflect the same rights and responsibilities as other tenants; and 8. Every effort is made to prevent a return to homelessness. All HSP activities must be carried out in accordance with Housing First. Exhibit A Page 2 of 4 PROGRESSIVE ENGAGEMENT HSP services will be provided in compliance with the Progressive Engagement approach. Progressive Engagement emphasizes the individual needs of each family, and seeks to provide the most minimal amount of assistance required, focused on the most urgent and immediate needs. The goal of Progressive Engagement is to empower families to resolve their own housing crisis to the greatest extent that they are able, build on each family’s strengths, and foster self-sufficiency. To comply with the Progressive Engagement model, CLFA will provide services to each family based on an individualized assessment of each family’s budget, and require that a portion of rental expenses be paid from the program outset, even if that amount is minimal. CLFA will closely monitor the progress and needs of the family to determine those that require additional assistance, and intervene with additional support if a need is identified. PROGRAM COMPONENT: TEMPORARY HOUSING (EMERGENCY SHELTER) Upon receipt of a referral, CLFA will immediately contact the family to begin program intake and commence services. CLFA must attempt contact with referred families within one business day, and those that do not have a safe place to stay overnight must be immediately placed in temporary housing. Temporary housing may consist of a motel stay or placement in a local emergency shelter that accommodates families. CLFA will begin working with the family on rapid rehousing services while the family is in temporary housing, and work proactively to move the family into permanent housing as soon as possible. PROGRAM COMPONENT: RAPID REHOUSING Rapid Rehousing services will be provided to HSP families in accordance with rapid rehousing best practices. Rapid Rehousing services consist of three core components: Housing Search and Placement (Housing Navigation), Direct Financial Assistance, and Case Management. Services required of each component are as follows: 1. Housing Search and Placement (Housing Navigation): Assist HSP families in attaining housing: meet with clients to assess family housing needs and barriers; develop a housing plan that includes a realistic budget, specific goals, and steps required to meet goals; assist participants in locating and securing housing of their choice (including by assisting with finding rental vacancies/listings, completing rental applications, meeting with and speaking to landlords, and providing transportation as needed throughout the process); assist in securing all documents needed to apply for housing; and educating clients about their rental lease and legal rights and responsibilities. Work with clients to identify shared housing solutions, including with other families in the program, as needed. Provide ongoing liaison between families and landlords, if needed, to resolve issues directly related to families’ housing and tenancy. 2. Direct Financial Assistance: Pay for housing and related financial assistance on behalf of clients for the following: a. Rental assistance b. Security deposits c. Utility deposits d. Utility payments e. Moving/storage costs f. Motel/hotel costs (for Temporary Housing component) Exhibit A Page 3 of 4 g. Paid shelter costs (for Temporary Housing component) h. Furniture/making home habitable (on a limited basis, primarily for beds and mattresses only, unless the family has an exceptional need). All financial assistance will be provided in compliance with the Progressive Engagement model, requiring a client portion of rent from the first month of assistance, even if very minimal, and evaluated at least monthly based on family budget and needs. 3. Case Management: Once housing has been attained, meet regularly with each family with the intent of achieving housing stability; continue working on the housing plan developed during the housing navigation stage, focusing on maintaining housing and increasing income to maintain housing, if necessary; prepare client for exit from the program; perform regular home visits to make sure client is properly maintaining their rental unit; and make connections to community resources such as health care, child care, counseling, etc.; identify solutions and resources for each family to access, should a financial or housing crisis arise in the future; once the family has stabilized, exit them from the program. Continue contact with clients in the program once they have exited from the financial assistance component, and track housing retention for at least 3 and 6 months after program exit. SUBRECIPIENT RESPONSIBILITIES • Maintain membership in good standing in the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) as defined by FMCoC bylaws, and participate in the Coordinated Entry System (CES). Attendance at weekly FMCoC case conferencing meetings is mandatory to fulfill this requirement. • Accept direct referrals from DSS, schools and school districts, and homeless service providers upon contract execution. Cooperate with DSS on CES referral integration, and once implemented, accept referrals only through CES. • Contact all clients referred within one business day and place into shelter as soon as possible upon contact. • Contact each family a minimum of every 3 days during the housing search stage. • Perform at least one case management home visit with each family per month after the family is housed. • Perform at least 2 case management home visits with each family after financial exit from the program (for 3 and 6 month housing retention follow-up). • Maintain caseload of no more than 35 open cases per Housing Navigator, and 30 open cases per Case Manager. • Enter participant information into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) in compliance with HUD data collection, management, and reporting standards. Ensure all HMIS entries are completed within 3 days of program entry. • Meet with County staff monthly, or as often as needed, for service coordination, problem/issue resolution, information sharing, training, review, and monitoring of services. • Engage clients in a linguistically and culturally-appropriate manner, including the use of interpreters when needed. • Provide complete and accurate monthly activity reports to the County of Fresno, in a report format approved by the County by the 10th of each month. • Provide annual Civil Rights training to staff at the beginning of every calendar year, and provide relevant verification to the County of Fresno by April 1.

(PROVIDER) related to provision of Housing Support Program services for COUNTY’s CalWORKs recipients, requires that the undersigned report all known or suspected child abuse or neglect to one or more of the agencies set forth in Penal Code (P.C.) section (§) 11165.9. For purposes of the undersigned’s child abuse reporting requirements, “child abuse or neglect” includes physical injury inflicted by other than accidental means upon a child by another person, sexual abuse as defined in P.C. §11165.1, neglect as defined in P.C. §11165.2, willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment as defined in P.C. §11165.3, and unlawful corporal punishment or injury as defined in P.C. §11165.4. A child abuse report shall be made whenever the undersigned, in his or her professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or observes a child whom the undersigned knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim of child abuse or neglect. (P.C §11166.) The child abuse report shall be made to any police department or sheriff’s department (not including a school district police or security department), or to any county welfare department, including Fresno County Department of Social Services’ 24 Hour CARELINE. (See PC §11165.9.) For purposes of child abuse reporting, a “reasonable suspicion” means that it is objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a suspicion, based upon facts that could cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her training and experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. The pregnancy of a child does not, in and of itself, constitute a basis for reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse. (P.C. §11166(a)(1).) Substantial penalties may be imposed for failure to comply with these child abuse reporting requirements. Further information and a copy of the law may be obtained from the department head or designee. I have read and understand the above statement and agree to comply with the child abuse reporting requirements. __________________________________ ________________________ SIGNATURE DATE Exhibit D Page 1 of 2 SELF-DEALING TRANSACTION DISCLOSURE FORM In order to conduct business with the County of Fresno (hereinafter referred to as “County”), members of a contractor’s board of directors (hereinafter referred to as “County Contractor”), must disclose any self-dealing transactions that they are a party to while providing goods, performing services, or both for the County.
