SUMMARY
In 2016, the Stack Center project’s steering committee, known as the South Hayward Youth and Family Center (SHYFC) Governance Group, with the prior consent of Council, conducted a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process to identify a Facility Operator and Administrator for the future center. In 2018 the group unanimously selected La Familia and Eden Youth and Family Center (now Eden Youth) as the joint Operator for the Project. A lease agreement was executed at that time, but expired in 2021 before construction on the site began.
With the completion of Phase I of the Stack Center in March 2025, staff are seeking Council authorization to execute a new Operator and Lease Agreement for the portion of the Stack Center campus that was completed in the first phase. Staff recommend that La Familia and Eden Youth be joint operators for this agreement, as was identified in the RFQ process in 2018.
