This has manifested itself in various ways, most notably at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, where a sizeable number of homeless residents have gathered. These residents are laboring under very difficult conditions and are need support from our community. We've identified three areas of support needed: meals, supplies and sundries, and safety and security. We have identified qualified and capable non-profit organizations in our community that can provide this support. Bayside Housing and Services has been providing evening meals for temporary residents at the Fairgrounds under a grant agreement with the county. The grant agreement provided funding in the amount $15,200 which could be increased by amendment given a demonstrated need and availability of funds. The continued pandemic and harsh winter conditions have contributed to a large and needy population at the Fairgrounds, which demonstrates the need. The county has the funds to cover the increased grant amount. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the proposed grant amendment is $14,800 which will be covered by the County's General Fund. RECOMMENDATION: That Board of County Commissioners approve the attached proposed grant amendment with Bayside Housing and Services.
