City Council

8F. Staff request to provide a letter of support for the San Diego Rescue Mission (SDRM) application for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) administered by the Regional Taskforce on Homelessness’ (RTFH) FY 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) grant to provide regional street outreach services throughout the County of San Diego including within the City of Encinitas. 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 the direct or indirect physical change in the environment. Contact Persons: Homeless Program Coordinator Pugh and Planning Manager Anders Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to provide SDRM a letter of support for the RTFH FY 2026 COC NOFO grant application to expand regional street outreach services throughout the County of San Diego where SDRM already provides services including within the City of Encinitas. 2026-06-24 Item 08F SDRM Letter of Support
