BACKGROUND:
|
InnVision, located on the grounds of the Menlo Park Veterans Affairs facility, provides safe shelter and structured, supportive programs for homeless individuals, couples, and families from San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. InnVision provides emergency shelter services, for both families and singles, up to 90-days along with case management services. InnVision also offers a wide range of supportive services such as: information & referral, housing search assistance, 12-step programs, and ongoing support to maintain self-sufficiency. Also located on this site, are laundry facilities, showers, food, and access to many other support services.

DISCUSSION:
|
InnVision’s programs provide housing resources and supportive services to low-income CalWORKs eligible 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 and supportive services, increase the families’ general health and education, thereby enabling participants to reach and maintain self-sufficiency.
It is in the County’s best interest to waive the RFP process and enter into an Agreement with InnVision based on InnVision’s unique ability to provide such concentrated services to homeless families and individuals and because InnVision is the only emergency shelter program for homeless families in Southern San Mateo County.
The Contractor has assured compliance with the County's Contractor Employee Jury Service 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. County Counsel has reviewed the Agreement and Resolution as to form and Risk Management has approved the Contractor’s insurance.
Approval of this Agreement contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Prosperous Community by providing referrals and emergency shelter services to homeless residents of San Mateo County.
