Legislative analyst outlines RFP approach for notices of availability of funds tied to encampment resolution
Summary
The committee approved a legislative-analyst recommendation to pursue a broader-area approach for Notices of Availability of Funds for encampment resolution, reflecting state guidance that allows larger service-area applications.
The Homelessness Committee approved a legislative-analyst recommendation to move forward with a proposed application process for Notices of Availability of Funds related to encampment resolution, with staff saying the city will plan for broader service-area applications in line with evolving state guidance.
The committee heard from the legislative analyst’s office, which said the state has signaled flexibility for larger service-area applications and that the city’s proposed process would identify locations in each council district while allowing an application to cover a wider geographic service area than past solicitations.
A committee member said the city’s application process places a heavy burden on individual council offices to assemble local data; the analyst’s office agreed the city could consider a more comprehensive citywide approach to increase competitiveness and simplify applications.
Committee members asked how the city would evaluate submitted offers. Staff said the city’s Affordable Housing linkage and related units would conduct initial evaluations and that the city maintains a web portal for owners to submit interest. The analyst’s office promised follow-up work to coordinate with council offices and departments on the evaluation process.
After discussion, the committee approved the recommendation. Councilmember Raman, Councilmember Jurado and Councilmember Bloomenfield voted to approve; two members were absent.
