BACKGROUND:
Clark County Social Service requests that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve and authorize the Chair to sign an interlocal agreement for Shared Funding for Emergency Shelter among Clark County and the Cities of Boulder City, Henderson, Las Vegas, and North Las Vegas effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
The agreement is a result of the Homeless Intervention Proposal introduced by the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition to address the needs of homeless persons in the area. The Board has approved similar homeless-related interlocal agreements previously each fiscal year since 2004. The agreement requires Clark County and the Cities to share funding based on a population formula to pay for emergency shelter services for the area’s homeless persons. Since it was established several years ago, the collaboration has been very successful and is being used nationally as an example of a best practice.
The agreement is for the fiscal year July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, and specifies the funding requirements for the participating municipalities. The total joint regional commitment for emergency shelter remains the same from the previous fiscal year when the project was for inclement weather shelter. Each city is also in the process of approving the agreement with their councils. Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
The item has been approved as to form by the District Attorney’s office.
