SUMMARY
The Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) grant program, established on July 31, 2019, provides flexible block grant funding to combat homelessness. Since its inception, nearly $3 billion in HHAP funds have been distributed across California, with the City of San Leandro receiving $1,024,091 through Alameda County. In February 2025, the County announced an additional allocation of $200,446. Staff recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a third amendment to the existing County agreement and to enter into an agreement with Building Futures for Women and Children for up to $200,446 in HHAP funds.
HHAP funding will be used to support the ongoing operations of San Leandro Shelter and Sister Me Home, which provide critical services in the community.
