County awards $300,000 HB4123 subgrant to Alternative Youth Activities for direct housing assistance
Summary
Coos County will route $300,000 in House Bill 4123 funds to Alternative Youth Activities for direct housing assistance after the Salvation Army’s Hope Village project did not proceed.
The Coos County Board of Commissioners approved a $300,000 subgrant agreement with Alternative Youth Activities (AYA) using House Bill 4123 funds to provide direct housing assistance.
Colton, a county staff member presenting the item, said the board had approved the concept at a June 25 work session as an alternative to a Salvation Army project called Hope Village that did not move forward. “The money is being awarded instead to Alternative Youth Activity who works with youth that are experiencing challenges and need support to carry on,” Colton said.
The transcript shows the board approved the subgrant by motion and voice vote. The county also intends to award subgrants for street outreach and a commercial kitchen remodel tied to homeless services, with those agreements described as forthcoming during the meeting.
The funding reallocation matters because it preserves use of HB4123 resources for local housing-related services after the original recipient stepped out. The county did not provide a detailed spending breakdown in the excerpt provided; the subgrant amount of $300,000 and the link to HB4123 were stated in the motion and presentation.
No roll-call vote tally is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
