�S-
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF THE SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DOWNTOWN STREETS
TEAM FOR SERVICES IN FISCAL YEAR 2016-2017, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$100,000
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement
with the Downtown Streets Team to provide cleaning services on Downtown streets and sidewalks and
in the City owned garages and provide employment training for Team members.
BACKGROUND: In October 2012 staff presented recommendations regarding homelessness and the
quality of life in Downtown San Rafael. The staff recommendations were developed from the work of
the City Council subcommittee and a community stakeholders group. The City Homeless Action Plan
provides a multipronged approach, with short-term and long-term strategies to address mental health,
crime, fire danger, and affordable housing issues; to provide public education; and to assist those
without housing to reintegrate into the community. The main points of the City's Plan are:
• Mental Health - Hiring of a mental health professional in the San Rafael Police Department,
increased coordination among the service providers. (COMPLETED)
• Crime - Increasing Downtown foot patrol to three officers, creation of the Special Operations
Unit consisting of a Sergeant position that oversees the work of the SRPD mental health
professional, the Downtown foot patrol and the SR -PD Ranger positions. (COMPLETED)
• Fire Danger - Increase the hours for the SR -PD Ranger position, institute a zero tolerance policy
for camping outside of the legally approved campsites in China Camp. (COMPLETED)
• Affordable Housing - Continuation of existing City programs. Adoption of the 2015-2023
housing element which provides updated information on the community's housing needs and

lists the sites available for housing. (COMPLETED)
• Public Education - Regular community meetings on the City's Homeless Action Plan and
posting the City's Plan and plan progress reports on the City's website. (ONGOING)
ANALYSIS: In addition to the accomplishments above, one of the City's strategies for helping
homeless people reintegrate into the community is through the Downtown Streets Team (DST). The
DST provides employment readiness experience through cleaning up Downtown. The DST program
creates volunteer opportunities for homeless persons, in exchange for vouchers for food and/or housing.
The model strives to rebuild lives and restore the dignity of the participants. DST has found that serving
the community through work teams prepares members for permanent employment and housing.
In San Rafael, approximately 25 Team Members volunteer on small teams throughout Downtown.
These volunteers are managed by a staff person. Team Members volunteer for up to 20 hours per week
in exchange for food and/or housing vouchers. The remaining 20 hours of the "work week" are reserved
for job search activities, including a job search skills classes, soft skills coaching, and management
training. The program is based on a "ladder of success" with participants graduating into leadership
positions within the team. DST staff works with each team member to create customized workplans to
remove barriers to housing, employment, and self -sustainability.
DST has provided an excellent complement to existing services for the street population without
duplicating efforts. Marin County has a variety of employment related services for lower income
residents including Homeward Bound's New Beginnings Center, the Marin Employment Connection,
and the Conservation Corps. However, some members of the street community are not ready to access
those programs. DST provides a highly supportive program that helps participants become ready to
access existing employment opportunities and programs while giving back to the community.
With respect to performance, DST has been a huge success. As shown in the attached report
(Attachment A), DST has provided an overview of their major accomplishments in San Rafael. DST's
reporting template to the City for FYI 6-17 is also attached (Attachment B).
While the City does not typically fund social services (such as those provided through the County of
Marin), from 2013 until today, DST has been a much needed response to the increased negative
pressures from homelessness in Downtown. Not only does DST provide valuable community service
that keeps Downtown beautiful and inviting, it has also helped a multitude of homeless individuals get
their lives back on track while simultaneously changing the conversation in the broader community
about homelessness and those experiencing it. Given this success, it is very encouraging to see that the
County of Marin is now DST's biggest funder, and they are working in partnership with DST and other
cities in Marin like Novato to expand the program. This expansion of services into other communities
besides San Rafael is a very positive step in the right direction.
In addition to this annual contract for services in Downtown San Rafael, the City entered into a second,
one-time contract with DST in December of 2015. That contract, in the amount of $25,000, is to
provide cleaning services and outreach around Davidson Middle school for the 2016 calendar year.
FISCAL IMPACT: The first, second, and third years of the project were funded by a joint effort of the
City of San Rafael, the County of Marin, the Marin Community Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, and
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
Marin General. The City also worked with the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce and Business
Improvement District to provide funding opportunities for DST during this time.
During FY15-16, the County of Marin entered into a direct contract with DST in the amount of
$125,000. Marin Community Foundation concluded its three-year commitment to fund DST in the
amount of $50,000 per year. Moving into FY16-17, the City has provided connections for DST to work
directly with Kaiser Permanente and Marin General on future funding needs.
The following table breaks down the contract amounts and contribution levels for FY13-14, FY14-15,
FY15-16, and FY16-17.
Importantly, as the City's contribution amount has increased, there have been commensurate increases
in performance expectations on DST:

Qualitative Impact
In the last three months alone DST San Rafael has engaged with the community in a number of different ways. In
collaboration with the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce and the Leadership Institute we kicked off a Mythbusting
campaign where over 50 business leaders and community members helped to clean East San Rafael and learn about the
realities of homelessness and meet our wonderful Team Members.
To best ensure that we are responding to community needs when cleaning in the downtown needs to get done we have
developed an easy mobile website. This website, dstclean.com, makes it easy to send a picture with some information
on the location and we will do our best to clean up that area as soon as possible. With a camera phone and 60 seconds
any community member can help Downtown Streets Team be responsive to areas that need it most in the Downtown.
Additionally, we have also caught the guidance of an advisory board of local business and community members.
One of the ways we support our Team Members is through providing spaces that address their emotional and mental
well being. We have a regular intern from the Community Institute for Psychotherapy who offers counseling to several
of our Team Members. This year our Team Members were invited to partake in a collaborative mural project with
Dominican University. They worked for many weeks with students to conceive and execute a mural spanning more than
90 feet along Mission St. between B and C Street.
Throughout the year we welcome students to volunteer alongside our Team Members. We have done several projects
with Sir Francis Drake High School Students and most recently had a class from Marin Academy volunteer with us a few
weeks ago.
To build upon our progress, DST has started contracts with many partners in San Rafael including CPI Real Estate to keep
the areas around Target and Home Depot beautiful and with Marin Clean Energy to keep its grounds pristine. On the
horizon, DST is developing two projects to alleviate panhandling. The first is a donation campaign that uses refurbished
parking meters to raise public awareness that money given to panhandlers can be better used towards helping the
homeless when its given to an agency such as DST. Secondly, we are developing an ambassador program to handle
outreach amongst panhandlers and meet other community needs.
Finally, DST is looking to expand to meet the needs of cities and communities across Marin, beginning with Novato. By
expanding in other communities in Marin, Downtown Streets Team is helping to tackle challenges beyond one
community in Marin. This expansion will for a new case manager and the development of an Earnings Based Rental
Assistance Program (EBRA) to help our team members in San Rafael and Novato with housing opportunities after
employment through DST.
Challenges/Roadblocks:
One of the persistent challenges for our team members is suitable shelter when they need it before launching into new
jobs. There seems to be more demand than availability of options to refer people to, especially in (but not limited to)
the summer months.
