10.1 FY 2008-09 ACTION PLAN SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT FOR
THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION AND RAPID RE-HOUSING
PROGRAM (HPRP).A2100.
0 Agr-5421)Time set for public hearing to consider a FY 2008-09 Action
Plan Substantial Amendment for the Homelessness Prevention and
Rapid
Re-Housing Program (HPRP).Discussion Mary Ellen Laster, Sr. Housing Manager, provided a staff
report. In response to Council questions, she reported that this is a new funding source of
federal stimulus money. Staff will be working through the CDBG Committee to
review organizations and recommend non-profit agencies that have experience in this area to allocate the
funds. The amendment needs to be submitted to HUD by May 18th and
the funds committed by September 30th Council discussed the need to utilize existing non-
profit organizations for this
program and not create any new programs.Councilmember Dumitru noted that federal stimulus
money is taxpayer money; and while he agrees homelessness is a problem, it
should stay with private organizations and taxpayer dollars should not be spent on this type
of program. He has supported charitable organizations in the past, but expressed concern that this could
create another level
of dependency and a continual funding problem.Mayor pro tem Smith spoke in support of the program,
noting there are many families who are currently homeless; and this is an opportunity to
assist the homeless and prevent others from becoming homeless. She suggested there
are current local organizations who already know how to administer this type of program, and
provided several suggestions for staff to review.She noted that taxpayer dollars are used one way or another
for the homeless, and it is usually cheaper to
prevent a problem, rather than treat it.Council clarified with staff that if the City does not apply
for these grant funds, the money will be returned to the County to be used by
the County for this type of program.Mayor Cavecche agreed with Councilmember
Dumitru's assessment of the economic stimulus package, but when the funding recommendations come back
to Council she will be looking to support current non-profit
organizations in Orange rather than creating new programs elsewhere. She noted that this money will be spent
for this purpose one way or the other.Councilmember Murphy also agreed
with Councilmember Dumitru's assessment in terms of the philosophy behind the economic stimulus
package, but noted this was an opportunity to control the funds in Orange
through proven non-profit
organizations rather
