City Council

10F. Grant application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Grant Program’s Round 5 (ERF-5-R) Funding. Environmental Considerations: The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a "project" under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The action is also exempt from CEQA under Section 15378(b) (5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical change in the environment. Contact Person: Homeless Program Coordinator Pugh Recommended Action: 1) Consider and provide direction to staff to authorize the City Manager, in coordination with the City Attorney, to submit an application to HCD for Encampment Resolution Funding Round 5 (ERF-5-R); and 2) If City Council direction is for staff to submit an application and funding is awarded, bring the grant award back to City Council for consideration on accepting the funding. 2026-06-24 Item 10F Encampment Resolution Funding Grant 2026-06-24 Item 10F Encampment Resolution Funding Grant - Public Comment
