3. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING GRANT AGREEMENT FOR HOMEWARD BOUND IN THE AMOUNT OF

Senior Redevelopment Specialist Nancy Mackle reported Homeward Bound
operates both transitional housing and an assisted living programs for low
and very low income individuals at the former Carmel Hotel, located at 830
"B" Street. She explained Homeward Bound was trying to rehab the building,
noting it is an historic property, and a big part of the "B" Street
corridor, in terms of the ambiance of the street.
Ms. Mackle stated Homeward Bound had submitted a report showing what was
needed to rehab the building, prioritizing the most crucial life and safety
items. She noted the money being requested covered the fire sprinkler,
heating system upgrade, alarm upgrade, and fire escape improvements. Ms.
Mackle reported there was additional work that had not been included in
this proposal, noting Homeward Bound was continuing to do fundraising for
windows and plumbing replacement, which would be done during another phase,
and after that they will eventually work on the facade and repaint the
building.
