Summary
The Board approved three HAP Round 5 contracts totaling $2,376,150: up to $2,000,000 for Park Place permanent housing (Jesus Provides Our Daily Bread), $210,520 for a domestic-violence navigation coordinator (Catalyst Domestic Violence Services), and $165,630 for services at the Howard Slater Navigation Center (True North Housing Alliance).
The Butte County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 27 approved three contracts under the Homeless Housing Assistance Prevention (HAP) Round 5 allocation, committing a combined $2,376,150 for housing acquisition and navigation services.
Tiffany Rowe, director of Employment and Social Services, said the county received approximately $3.4 million in HCD funding for the county’s CoC area, and that the department conducted a county RFP process to allocate round‑5 dollars. "A total of $3,400,000 The department completed the county's process for RFP and is recommending today the board approve 3 contracts totaling $2,376,150 with terms of 01/27/2026 through 06/30/2028," Rowe said.
The board approved three contracts as presented: up to $2,000,000 to Jesus Provides Our Daily Bread for Park Place permanent housing acquisition; up to $210,520 to Catalyst Domestic Violence Services for a navigation coordinator serving emergency shelters and survivors; and up to $165,630 to True North Housing Alliance for services at the Howard Slater Navigation Center. Erin Murray, deputy director of housing and homeless, provided program history: since HAP’s start, 3,243 unique individuals accessed services and roughly 3,200 are no longer experiencing homelessness because of earlier rounds of funding.
Supervisors asked how contract recipients were chosen and about oversight. Staff said the county runs an RFP process with participation from the county’s Continuum of Care partners; awarded contracts are subject to monthly reporting to HCD, monitoring, and potential audits. "We report monthly on the usage of every penny," Murray said, describing HCD monitoring and audit processes.
The board moved to approve the contracts and voted unanimously to adopt the recommendations. Staff said they will continue to monitor performance and report to the board as required by state and county grant rules.
Closing: The contracts were approved and will run through June 30, 2028; staff will administer monitoring and monthly reporting to HCD.
