AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
For over 33 years, Community Services & Workforce Development has been operating the Family Winter Shelter Program at the San Benito County Migrant Center. The program historically serves 20-30 families. This upcoming year, we will serve up to 20 homeless families. The Office of Migrant Services (OMS) is requiring that we enter into a License Agreement for the use of up to 20 units for homeless families.
The County currently has a 50 year lease agreement with the Department of Housing and Community Development recorded in 1998 which restricts the use of the Migrant Center for migrant housing only. The license agreement will allow the County to lawfully use the Migrant Center on a limited basis for the operations of the Winter Shelter Program during the period of December 13, 2021 through March 16, 2022. Historically, the program start date has been December 1st; but since the State approved a post extension for Migrant farm workers to remain at the center until December 10, 2021, the earliest the program can begin is December 13, 2021.
The cost for the lease of the units has been incorporated in the current year budget.
