Annual Action Plan 2026 12 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Redwood City to County services and additional housing supports offered by the City. During calendar year 2025, the Bayside Homeless Outreach Team helped transition 126 individuals into shelter/housing. Families with children: The City leverages the Countywide CES system to access services and housing for families with children. In addition to family shelter sites in Redwood City, nearby Menlo Park, San Mateo, and Daly City, the County system also includes an Offsite Shelter Program offering additional shelter space at a motel in Burlingame. The CoC has a rapid re-housing program (providing short-term rental assistance plus case management to homeless families). Veterans: The Continuum of Care continues to focus on ending Veteran homelessness. Nation's Finest is one organization with experience and access to resources available to address homelessness for Veterans. While the City no longer directly funds Nation's Finest since City's Homeless Outreach Strategy Team (OS Team) program ended in December 2024, Nation's Finest continues to be a partner countywide and in Redwood City. The City continues to collaborate with them on issues related to Veteran homelessness. Nations Finest is also one of the organizations that attends the City's monthly homeless outreach and providers meeting. Youth: Currently, HUD CoC funds are provided to the San Mateo County Mental Health Association (MHA) to operate its Support and Advocacy for Young Adults in Transition (SAYAT) Program, which provides case management and housing search/stabilization services to homeless youth, and the San Mateo County Housing Authority has a supply of 25 Family Unification Program (FUP) vouchers for youth leaving the foster care system to ensure they do not become homeless. Addressing Persons at Risk of Homelessness: The City's Fair Oaks Community Center provides emergency financial assistance for persons at risk of homelessness. During calendar year 2025, the Fair Oaks Community Center provided 229 households with emergency financial assistance to help pay for utilities, rent, mortgage, or security deposits. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS Redwood City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding, as the San Mateo County Department of Housing (DOH) is the only ESG recipient in the County. The CoC Lead Agency is also the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Lead Agency and develops the policies and procedures for operation and administration of HMIS for ESG funded projects. However, the City does participate in CoC meetings as part of its ongoing responsibility in receiving HUD funding, and beginning in PY 2026, the City will participate in the County’s ESG funding recommendation process. The County DOH coordinates closely with the CoC in regard to the County's ESG, CoC and CDBG funding and is represented on the CoC Steering Committee.
