R3a

To address this Rapid Re-Housing lag, the County should aggressively pursue Homekey funding where consistent with Measure A Goals and Guidelines. The County should develop a plan to address this recommendation by June 30, 2022. Response to Recommendation 3a: The County agrees with Recommendation 3a. The County is aggressively pursuing Homekey Program funding either directly or by partnering with local jurisdictions who are also pursuing these funds. On January 3, 2022, for example, the County received a Homekey Program Round 2 award notification for $22,143,341 to support the acquisition and operation of an interim housing program at Bella Vista Inn located at 3550 El Camino Real, Santa Clara. Through this award, the County is able to utilize state grants funds to acquire the property and further leverage Housing Bond proceeds. The County has also submitted a second application for the conversion of the Crestview Hotel in the City of Mountain View which will include a certain number of Rapid Re-Housing units. And on February 8, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved providing up to $5,000,000 for the acquisition and conversion of the Residence Inn Hotel by the Santa Clara County Housing Authority as part of an application for Homekey Program Round 2 funding. Board of Supervisors: Mike Wasserman, Cindy Chavez, Otto Lee, Susan Ellenberg, S. Joseph Simitian County Executive: Jeffrey V. Smith

R3b

If Rapid-Rehousing development continues to lag, the County should consider redistributing unit goals in a way which still supports the core homeless and disabled vulnerable populations. The County should develop a plan to address this recommendation by June 30, 2022. Response to Recommendation 3b: The County partially disagrees with Recommendation 3b. The County believes more time is needed to realize and analyze the impact of program changes before modifications to goals should be made. Specifically, on November 16, 2021 (Item No.22), the Board of Supervisors approved a recommendation to update the County's development guidelines to further incentivize the production of Rapid Re-Housing Units. Furthermore, on February 8, 2022 (Item No. 46), County Administration provided an update on the County's Housing Development pipeline which should accommodate the remaining supportive housing units. The County will analyze the impact of the recent program change noted above before considering any other changes to unit goals. The County anticipates this to be done in June 2022.

R5

The Civil Grand Jury recommends that the County evaluate whether this selection model can be extended to other advisory boards and commissions. This evaluation should be completed June 30, 2022. Response to Recommendation 5: The County generally agrees with Finding 5. The County will consider whether this selection model could extend to other advisory boards and commissions.
