Project Concept Review: Covenant House California Proposal at 27211 Tyrrell Avenue End
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Council Economic Development Committee (CEDC) reviews the report and provides feedback on the proposal for the applicant, Covenant House California (CHC), at the February 1, 2021 meeting.
End
SUMMARY
Covenant House California (CHC), a non-profit corporation, strives to provide youth experiencing homelessness with shelter, food, clothing, education and most importantly love. They currently operate facilities in other parts of the state, including locally in both Oakland and Berkeley. Due to the need and a lack of such services in the southern part of Alameda County, CHC has been looking to find a location to operate a facility. They recently entered into a 10-year lease with Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) for use of approximately one acre of the site at 27211 Tyrrell Avenue to establish such a facility. Alameda County is proposing to assist financially with the use of some Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) funds and CHC is now looking for some permitting assistance from the City in order to meet project and financial deadlines.
