BACKGROUND:
|
InnVision was established in 1973, as a leading provider of housing and supportive services for the at-risk and homeless population in Santa Clara County. On July 1, 2004, Clara Mateo Alliance (CMA) merged with InnVision. With the addition of CMA programs, staff, and expertise, InnVision was established as a provider of services for the homeless and at-risk residents of both Santa Clara County and San Mateo County.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
InnVision programs provide housing resources and supportive services to extremely low-income families. The mission of the programs is to create stability for clients in order to promote job achievement, retention and advancement through the provision of housing resources and supportive services, increase the families’ general health and education, thereby enabling participants to reach and maintain self-sufficiency. Based on InnVision’s unique ability to provide services to homeless families throughout the County, it is considered to be in the County’s best interest to continue contracting with InnVision through the Human Services Agency.
|
|
|
The request to waive the RFP process is due to the service providers’ response to the County’s Notification of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Fiscal Year 2006-07. As a result, InnVision qualified to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding by the Board of Supervisors, on May 2, 2006. Therefore, it is in the County’s best interest to continue with this Contractor so that there is no interruption of services to the community.
This Agreement was delayed due to extended negotiations with Contractor.
The Contractor has assured compliance with the County’s Contractor Employee Jury Services Ordinance, as well as all other contract provisions that are required by County ordinance and administrative memoranda, including but not limited to insurance, hold harmless, non-discrimination and equal benefits.

Appropriations for this Agreement are included in the tentatively Adopted Budget for FY 2006-07. There is no Net County Cost.
