* Agreement with JOIN for $234,749 for outreach to homeless campers and provide for payment. (Ordinance)

The City of Portland ordains:

SECTION 1. The Council finds that:

1.  Funding for outreach to homeless people who are sleeping outside meets the goals and objectives of the Bureau of Housing and Community Development (BHCD).

2.  The Subrecipient has successfully provided outreach, services and housing placement to homeless people.

3.  The City Council has authorized $48,464 in City general funds and $186,285 in Housing Investment Funds (HIF) (BHCD) for a total of $234,749 for camper outreach and housing placement for FY 02/03.

4.  The City now desires to enter into a formal agreement with the Subrecipient to provide camper outreach services to homeless men and women.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a.  The Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with JOIN for the JOIN-outreach to homeless campers in a form substantially in accordance with the agreement attached as Exhibit A (attached to the original ordinance only).

b.  The Mayor and City Auditor are hereby authorized to pay for said contract from the Housing and Community Development General Fund and Housing Investment Fund.

Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists because delay in funding would interrupt JOIN's ability to provide the JOIN-outreach to homeless people; therefore, this ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage by Council.
