Additionally, the FOCC staff administers the City's Human Services Financial Assistance (HSFA) program which is comprised of non-federal funding. HSFA provides monetary support to local non-profit agencies whose programs respond to the human service needs of Redwood City residents. Samaritan House, a nonprofit agency, was one of the recipients selected to receive HSFA funding for PY25-26 for its Free Clinic of Redwood City, which provides primary and specialty medical and dental services to uninsured, low-income residents. They have also requested HSFA funding for FY 26-27.

Chronically Homeless: In January 2025, the City’s Inter-agency Homeless Outreach Strategy Team (OS Team) comprised of homeless provider partner agencies ended and was replaced by the new County funded Bayside Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) through LifeMoves. This new program continues to provide targeted outreach and case management services to chronically homeless, unsheltered homeless residents living in encampments, vehicles, and on the street in Redwood City. Staff on the Bayside Homeless Outreach Team have a combination of lived experience of homelessness and varied skillsets that have shown to be successful in engaging and connecting the unsheltered population in ATTY/RESO.0019/CC RESO 2026 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN (CDBG) - EXHIBIT A REV: 05-01-26 LF Page 11 of 107
