S.38 located in Redwood City (Maple Street Shelter, Spring Street Shelter, Redwood Family Page 3 House, and DayBreak Youth Shelter) the City also funds operating costs at emergency shelters in South San Francisco, San Mateo, and Menlo Park because they serve Redwood City residents and the non-profit operators maintain records of services to those individuals assisted. The City receives these reports annually and documents this benefit in its Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report (CAPER) submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development by September 30 of each year. Redwood City has also funded capital improvements for public facilities like PARCA in Burlingame, Safe Harbor Shelter in South San Francisco and Domestic Violence Shelters because they serve Redwood City residents. More than ten years ago, Redwood City participated with the St. Francis Center in the acquisition of the St. Claire Apartments on Marlborough Ave, which is also located in unincorporated North Fair Oaks. A specific number of units in that building are reserved for Redwood City residents and referrals are made by local shelter and service providers through Fair Oaks Community Center. Under COBG regulations, the City can also provide assistance where a project is located in a contiguous jurisdiction, or within its sphere of influence, with the public benefit calculated based on the value of the City's assistance prorated to a specific number of units of service for Redwood City residents. Based on the proration of the assistance in the total acquisition, and the total number of beds available, Redwood City residents will have access to services in the unincorporated facility based on the proration of Redwood City's funding to the total acquisition cost as required in the funding agreement submitted for your approval. For example, if the facility sells for $500,000 and Redwood City provides $250,000 or 50% of the cost, then at least 2 of the 6 beds must be available for Redwood City residents at all times. . $683,000/$250,000 + 37% = 37% x 6 beds = 2 Beds at the 4th Avenue site, and . $555,000/$250,000 + 45% = 45%x 6 Beds = 3 Beds atthe Buckingham Avenue site will be available for Redwood City residents Service League has also received a funding commitment from San Mateo County to support this permanent program in Redwood City and North Fair Oaks since all of the other Service League facilities are in the incorporated area of Redwood City. 2.
