CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: January 13, 2022 NEW BUSINESS
SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A JOINT APPLICATION WITH
THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE FOR HOMEKEY 2 FUNDING
FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager
BY: Community & Economic Development Department
SUMMARY:
On November 4, 2021, City Council directed Staff to pursue acquisition of the property
located at 3589 McCarthy Road (Property, Attachment 1) for use as a Homeless
Navigation Center. Funding for the acquisition of the property will be provided by the
County of Riverside (County). A potential source of funding for the Navigation Center is
Homekey2 Funding from the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD). HCD requires Homekey 2 applicants to adopt a resolution
authorizing the application for Homekey 2 funding and approving participation in the
Homekey 2 program (Attachment 2). Approval of the joint application resolution is
being provided for City Council review and approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. ______, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING JOINT
APPLICATION TO AND PARTICIPATION IN THE HOMEKEY 2 PROGRAM.”
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents, including
making minor, non-substantive changes.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s efforts to address homelessness span several years and represents a
significant investment of resources. This includes supporting Roy’s of the Valley (the
County’s Homeless Shelter serving the western Coachella Valley); providing Crisis
Teams to perform outreach and provide homeless individuals with resources; providing
Wrap-around services to assist individuals with securing available benefits and housing;
funding Cool/Warm Centers during times of inclement weather; facilitating food
distributions; providing transportation vouchers; and is working with the Coachella

Valley Association of Governments Housing First program to provide outreach to
homeless individuals and to provide housing opportunities. All these efforts, however,
point to a glaring deficiency of homeless shelter beds in the Western Coachella Valley
where individuals can receive immediate shelter, interim housing, and supportive
services.
The general increase in the homeless population in the area has also resulted in
challenging conditions for area residents and businesses. A navigation center will
provide a place for unhoused individuals to go, and provide a place where individuals
can seek behavioral, mental, and medical services; search for housing; and access
income, benefits, and employment opportunities. Providing a navigation center
designed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness would be a notable
step forward in the City’s on-going efforts to address homelessness.
The campus-like environment of the Property provides opportunities for the navigation
center to include other services such as assisting individuals with securing health,
disability, and social security; computer skills, a place to conduct internet searches for
employment, completing on-line employment applications and interview techniques;
employment assessments; basic first aid; computer labs; and referrals to other
resources. The size and layout of the Property provides an opportunity for operation of
different services and programs. It also creates opportunities to co-locate other services
such as the County Mental Health and Behavioral Health or to have an on-site medical
clinic.
The State of California has allocated $1.45 billion to address homelessness. The
Homekey funds include federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) ($1.2 billion)
and State General Funds ($250 million). Given the potential to receive Homekey funds,
plus the contribution of $5,900,000 from the County of Riverside, there is an opportunity
for the City to provide substantial, life changing, services and assistance for the
unsheltered residents of Palm Springs.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Property is 3.64 acres and has three buildings which are 12,980 Square Feet,
7,980 Square Feet, and 25,800 Square Feet, for a total of 46,760 square feet. The
asking price was $6,250,000; the seller accepted an offer of $5,900,000 and opened
escrow for the sale of the Property. The City has since assumed the Purchase and Sale
agreement and is now in escrow to purchase the Property for $5,900,000.
It is anticipated the City and County will enter into an MOU that will provide a basic
understanding regarding the acquisition of the Property located at 3589 McCarthy Road
and that the terms will include:
• The County will pay $5,900,000 to the City for the acquisition of the Property.
Item 5A - 2
Staff Report
January 13, 2022 -- Page 3
Resolution Authorizing Joint Application with Riverside County for Homekey 2 Funding
• The County will pay an additional $1,100,000 to the City for capital improvements
to the Property.
• The City shall also contribute available Housing, Homeless Assistance Program
(HHAP) funds in the approximate amount of $5,300,000 to subsidize the capital
construction and/or operations of the Navigation Center.
• The City and County shall jointly pursue other grant funds to complete the
purchase and capital improvements of the Property as needed, and to fund the
services, operations, and maintenance of the Navigation Center.
The proposed resolution authorizes and directs the submittal of a joint application with
the County for Homekey 2 grant funds in an amount not to exceed $50,000,000, and to
enter into a standard agreement with HCD for Homekey 2 grant funds in an amount not
to exceed $50,000,000. The amount being requested is based on the Homekey fund
application which recommends doubling the anticipated award. It is also a “not-to-
exceed amount” ($50,000,000) and any grant award provided may be less than this
amount.
As currently envisioned, the proposed Navigation Center will include the following
features and services:
• Interim housing units.
• Individual bathroom facilities (per unit).
• Shared common kitchen facilities.
• The units will require mechanical and/or natural ventilation and conditioning,
electrical convenience receptacles, fire sprinklers, and access to light and air
(i.e., a window or door to the outdoors).
• Space for a desk may also be included.
• The units will also share gathering / recreational space.
• Modular units will be constructed outdoors and will have shared bathroom
facilities.
• The Navigation Center will provide support services for the community living in
the units which may include a health clinic (private rooms, with supporting
office(s), reception area, storage, and other accessory uses); Social services
(private offices, a multi-use room, reception, storage, and other accessory uses);
Commercial Kitchen (to prepare meals to be served to the community on site);
and Laundry and washing area for use by the residents.
• Outdoor gathering spaces, garden beds, landscaping, indoor recreation areas,
TV lounges, computer rooms, fitness areas, etc.
As the design is refined, construction cost estimates will also be updated.

Service Provider Solicitation
A solicitation for Letters of Interest has been released seeking potential operators for
the Navigation Center (Attachment 3). The scope of work requested includes operating
the Navigation Center with no-barrier interim housing and shelter accommodations;
operation and management of commercial kitchen and dining room with potential for
hospitality/food service workforce program; provide wrap around services; manage or
sub-contract medical/dental clinic, behavioral health services; utilize Homeless
Management Information System and Coordinated Entry System; and establish goals
and objectives with measurable outcomes. The results of the solicitation are not known
as the Letters of Interest were not due back to the City until after this staff report was
prepared.
Community Outreach
The City’s affordable housing and homelessness consultant will be initiating a
community outreach plan to solicit ideas and suggestions for the Navigation Center
services and operations (Attachment 4). This includes:
• Building consensus on the best way to develop and implement a Homeless
Navigation Center regarding design, services, and resources identified by the
homeless community and adjacent neighborhoods.
• Have targeted discussions with key stakeholders to obtain feedback on the
outreach process so that it is appropriately responsive to their constituents.
• Develop a survey and outreach materials (in English and Spanish).
• Community outreach meetings including weeknights and weekends.
• Research and identify services and resources that are underdeveloped in the
area.
• Provide the community with detailed information on the proposed project and the
need for a Homeless Navigation Center.
In addition, the City continues to meet on a regular basis with homeless service
providers in Palm Springs, and the City Manager and Police Chief continue to meet with
business groups to discuss how to address homelessness.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The requested City Council action is not a “Project” as defined by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a “Project” means the
whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment. Should direction be provided to move forward with the development of a
homeless navigation center, potential environmental impacts will be assessed at the
entitlement stage of the project.

Outreach Goals
The goal for the Community Outreach Plan is to engage the residents of the City of Palm Springs
in conversations about the need for, impact of, and location of a Homeless Navigation Center.
The goal of the outreach will be to engage community members in ways that help to inform City
staff on community needs, to help inform community members on the current state of
homelessness in the City in a data informed way, and to use those conversations to develop a
consensus on the best way to develop, implement, and operate a Homeless Navigation Center.
LDC proposes to use this Community Outreach Plan to invite the public into the process
throughout the development of the Homeless Navigation Center by providing multiple
opportunities for community input.
To reach a broad population, LDC is recommending a series of outreach activities, including
meetings with individual stakeholder groups and video and written material explaining the
current state of homelessness in Palm Springs and the role a navigation center would play in
addressing those issues. LDC also recommends getting direct feedback from the adjacent
community of the proposed site on 3589 McCarthy Road to ensure that their needs are being
included throughout the process.
Desired Outcomes
1.Help the City reach consensus on the goal of outreach efforts
2.Engage a broad and representative population of Palm Springs residents
3.Build on collaborative relationships with community stakeholders
4.Develop new relationships as needed
5.Ensure that the service gaps and needs of adjacent communities are being considered
6.Reach consensus on the best ways to develop and implement the Homeless Navigation
Center
Approach Summary
LDC is proposing a multi-faceted community outreach strategy that includes innovative tools
and technology, key stakeholder briefings, and partnerships with City of Palm Springs Staff, City
Council, and County of Riverside collaborators. This approach ensures the provision of a wide
range of available public meetings to provide feedback, but it also provides opportunities for
those who are not able to attend such meetings to give feedback. By providing access to an
online survey, recorded presentations related to the Homeless Navigation Center, and other
materials, this outreach approach ensures that community members can provide their input
without needing to attend a scheduled meeting. Online and in-person public meetings will
include opportunities for residents from the City Council Districts to provide feedback. Key
stakeholders, moreover, will be engaged in one-on-one meetings.
As key component of the Community Outreach Plan, LDC seeks to ensure feedback is gathered
from communities adjacent to the proposed site. The proposed site on 3589 McCarthy Road is in
Item 5A - 17
404 Euclid Ave, Suite 212, San Diego, CA 92114 www.lesardevelopment.com
Page 3 of 6
Census Tract 446.05. Based on census demographic data, this census tract is a majority Black,
Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community. The census tract also has a lower per capita
income when compared to Palm Springs as a whole and a poverty rate 1.5 time the rate in Palm
Springs. LDC recommends an engagement process that specifically seeks to center feedback
from BIPOC communities and residents of District 1 in the development of a Homeless
Navigation Center. Additionally, in the community engagement process, LDC will also look to
engage the community on what kinds of resources and services might also be helpful for their
community’s needs. According to the California Healthy Places Index, this Census Tract has
deficient scoring in transportation, neighborhood, healthcare access, and housing conditions.
Demographic data is provided below.
Approach
•Educate residents of the City of Palm Springs, including those from adjacent
neighborhoods of the proposed site, about the need for a Homeless Navigation Center.
o Utilize data from the Homeless Gaps Analysis and Needs Assessment to
understand and educate public on the trends, impacts, and gaps in homeless
delivery
•Obtain feedback from key stakeholders in the City of Palm Springs around the Homeless
Navigation Center.
o Feedback from key stakeholders to include nonprofit organizations, community-
based organizations, community groups, general public, elected officials, city staff,
and regional partners
o Understand service and resource gaps in community near proposed site
▪Engage residents of adjacent neighborhoods (Census Tract 446.05) to
understand any service or resource gaps in their community
▪Engage residents of District 1 to understand any service or resource gaps
in their community
▪Engage BIPOC communities and constituents to understand any service or
resource gaps in their communities

person event, one event on a Saturday, two events on weeknights, and two
events on weekdays during business hours. These meetings will be spread
throughout the two-month period to ensure a wide range of possible times
community members may attend such meetings. Moreover, by having had access
to a video presentation and an online survey, many community members will
likely already have provided their valuable feedback. The community meetings
will include plenary sessions with a presentation on key community information.
The meetings may include breakout sessions to allow for smaller group discussion.
• Summarize outreach feedback.
o LDC will review input from the stakeholder meetings, online survey, and
community meetings and provide a summary of key input. They survey will
