Accept Subcommittee Action Plan. 2. Adopt resolution authorizing the hiring of an additional Police Officer for three years to support the Downtown Foot Patrol. 3. Declare September 2013 as Homeless Awareness Month. BACKGROUND: Homelessness is a complex and chronic issue comprising many subgroups from those at risk of losing their housing to those who are chronically homeless. The County of Marin, through the Federal and State government, is responsible for funding health and human services for county residents. As the County seat, San Rafael is home to many social service organizations that are exemplary in their expertise and commitment to various aspects of the issue of homelessness. While San Rafael is limited in its role, there are several steps that have been taken over the years in this arena: 1. City policies are in place in General Plan 2020 that relate to supporting affordable housing and shelters for homeless people, which revolve primarily around land use (zoning, etc.) 2. The City, through its former Redevelopment Agency, has funded low income housing with grants to service providers for programs and housing subsidies to prevent homelessness. 3. The City has been involved in fire prevention in City open space, through a joint effort of Fire, Police and Public Works staff. This involves annual work to clear out encampments. 4. The City has worked cooperatively with St. Vincent de Paul, Ritter Center, Homeward Bound and the Rotating Emergency Shelter Team (REST) program to assist in their provision of services to the homeless community as well as any FOR CITY CLERK ONLY File No.: q -.1Z - 6-7 Council Meeting: v/.2,9/ Disposition: A 8 Y SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 of their work to prevent homelessness. 5. The City has been actively involved in the County's efforts to complete a 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness and will continue to do so, attending meetings and voicing local concerns. 6. Downtown foot beat officers make regular connections with service providers to coordinate public safety in and around Ritter Center, St. Vincent de Paul, and the Downtown area. 7. In past years, San Rafael has helped coordinate "Homeless Connect" to provide focused services from all sources to homeless people. Staff from Community Development, the Police and Fire Departments and the City Manager's office works in collaboration with these other agencies on a regular basis. From its inception in 1972 to its demise in 2011, the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency provided financial assistance to local non-profit agencies for the creation of new affordable housing units and for the rehabilitation of housing units for low-income individuals. San Rafael's Downtown has always been lively and diverse with a balance of shoppers, residents living in the apartments above the storefronts, businesses, and clients of local social service agencies. The City has received increased complaints in the past two years that the balance in our Downtown has shifted and the street population is negatively affecting businesses and the experience of visitors to our Downtown. In response to these concerns, Mayor Phillips established a two -member City Council Subcommittee on Homelessness in early 2012. The Subcommittee members were Vice Mayor Levine (Chair) and the Mayor. Council member Colin is the current Subcommittee Chair. The Subcommittee charge was to research and assess strategies to reduce the number of homeless in San Rafael. The Subcommittee also wanted to create a welcoming and safe environment for all and provide for our most vulnerable, by coordinating with social service providers. In the summer of 2012, the Subcommittee created a community Stakeholders Group on this issue. The Stakeholders Group met in July, August and early October 2012. Their meetings were noticed and public comment was taken at each. The work of the Council Subcommittee and the community Stakeholders Group was summarized IN an October 15, 2012 staff report to the City Council, The staff report contained eight recommendations to reduce the impact of the street population in San Rafael. The City Council accepted the staff recommendations. The October 15th report is also available at id=309&meta id=2 6132 or click here. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3 The City's actions were based on research on "best practices" from other cities. The City's actions were also informed and often coincided with recommendations developed during the update of Marin County's Ten -Year Homeless Plan to end homelessness for the 2013-2023 period (the "Ten -Year Homeless Plan"). The draft plan is available at hftp://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/HH/main/coc/. Based on the staff work to date, the community's input from the Stakeholders Group, and the Ten -Year Homeless Plan outreach meetings, as well as Subcommittee meeting in April 2013 with additional stakeholders to review the Draft Action Plan, the Council Subcommittee developed an Action Plan for the full City Council consideration (Attachment A). DISCUSSION: The results of the work of the Subcommittee recognizes the limits of municipal government's role in the provision of health, mental health, and other social services, including the prevention and provision of services related to homelessness. The majority of these services are funded and provided by the County of Marin using Federal, State and County funds. Therefore, the Action Plan is focused on meeting the City's objectives through actions to be undertaken by the City of San Rafael in conjunction with local service providers. Short-term objectives (to be completed by December 2013): • Reduce the impact of the "street population" in Downtown • Create a more welcoming environment in our Downtown, library, and local parks/open space • Authorize the hiring of an additional Police Officer for up to three years to support the Downtown Foot Patrol to work closely with the City's new Mental Health Outreach position • Provide multiple ways for residents to contribute to creating a more vibrant Downtown • Increase community understanding of the complex issue of homelessness by declaring the month of September 2013 as Homeless Awareness Month Long-term objectives: 0 Promote the creation of additional affordable housing stock 0 Implement permanent policies that maintain a healthy and safe environment 0 Support programs that keep people housed 0 Facilitate accountability for mental health treatment follow up Continue to collaborate with the county, local jurisdictions and service providers to address this issue at both a policy and action level Explore policy and funding options at the state level Identify funding sources for program implementation SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4 • Work with community and service providers to implement Marin County's Ten - Year Homeless Plan to end homelessness (2013-2023) • Continue consistent monitoring of City's progress of key actions FISCAL IMPACT: The majority of the actions outlined in the Action Plan will be addressed by current City staffing. The funding for an additional police officer to support the Downtown foot patrol for up to three years will come from existing resources in the General Fund budget, the Homeless Initiative Project, and existing grants. OPTIONS: 1. Accept the Subcommittee Action Plan 2. Direct staff to make changes to the Action Plan 3. Reject the subcommittee Action Plan 1. Motion to accept the Homelessness Action Plan 2. Adopt a resolution to authorize the hiring of an additional Police Officer for up to three years to support the Downtown Foot Patrol 3. Declare September 2013 as Homeless Awareness Month and invite community members to undertake education and outreach activities EXHIBITS: A: Recommended Action Plan and timetable Homeless Subcommittee May 2013 OVERVIEW OF THE ISSUE Homelessness represents a spectrum of situations including those seen and unseen, individuals and families who have a unique set of challenges to overcome. The federal agency of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the County of Marin's 10 -year plan to end homelessness refer to these broad categories of homeless populations: • Chronically homeless people • Chronic substance abusers • Veterans • Unaccompanied youth • Survivors of domestic violence The County of Marin is the local government agency designated with the primary responsibility for providing services to these groups, working in partnerships with cities, and non-profit service providers. The City of San Rafael's approach with these partners is to understand that services, enforcement, and larger system change are appropriate for different people at different times. This Action Plan focuses on the following sub -groups that relate to the visible Downtown street population: • People who are creating disturbances that may or may not have housing • People with mental health challenges • Young adults "traveling through" • Formerly employed people who are having difficulty finding work • People who are not ready or able to access the current services available to help them get back on their feet • People who are frequently drunk ("serial inebriates") or addicted to drugs • People who do not fit any of the above categories and have very idiosyncratic reasons for being on the street This Action Plan is focused specifically on the Downtown area of San Rafael, as it is the heart of our community. The balance in Downtown has shifted with the street population negatively affecting businesses and the experience of both our residents and visitors. Page 1 of 6 EXHIBIT A THE CITY'S ROLE Homelessness is a complex and chronic issue comprising many subgroups from those at risk of losing their housing to those who are chronically homeless. The County of Marin, through the Federal and State government, is responsible for funding health and human services for county residents. The Federal government requires all funding recipients to prepare a 10 -year Plan to end homelessness. Marin County has published a draft of their plan "Home for All" for the 2013-2023 period. The Plan is based on a large-scale collaborative planning process ("Charrette") that occurred in the summer of 2012. The Ten -Year Homeless Plan addresses the needs of both homeless families and homeless individuals. As the County seat, San Rafael is home to many social service organizations that are exemplary in their expertise and commitment to various aspects of the issue of homelessness. Staff from Community Development, the Police and Fire Departments and the City Manager's office works in collaboration with these other agencies on a regular basis. From its inception in 1972 to its demise in 2011, the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency provided financial assistance to local non-profit agencies for the creation of new affordable housing units and for the rehabilitation of housing units for low-income individuals. The purpose of this short-term action plan is to highlight those actions within the City's control to accelerate progress in addressing the impact of the street population in Downtown. This plan does not address homeless families or individuals not on our Downtown streets. San Rafael supports the efforts of agencies and groups assisting families through our Housing Element policies. THE CITY'S VALUES • Downtown is the heart of our community and we all benefit from a strong, vibrant and economically healthy downtown with a balance of retail, business, civic, cultural and nonprofit uses. • We celebrate the City's cultural resources and Downtown activities (library, parks, restaurants, retail, baseball and signature events, etc.) • We are a compassionate community that respects individuals and rejects unhelpful stereotyping. • We support housing for residents at all economic levels. • We support individual's efforts to get and remain clean and sober and we encourage programs that reduce access to alcohol and drugs. • We want welcoming public spaces and are committed to enforcing appropriate public behavior when necessary. • As underscored in our recently adopted San Rafael Action Plan, the City values its partnerships with other levels of government, nonprofits, the faith community, and others because we cannot tackle such complex issues alone and together we do better in developing and implementing solutions. Page 2 of 6 RECENT ACTIONS BY THE CITY In response to community and business concerns, in the spring of 2012 City staff and the City Council Homeless Subcommittee, then composed of Mayor Phillips and Councilmember Levine (the latter now replaced by Councilmember Colin), embarked upon an effort to address this issue, which culminated with a report of planned actions accepted by the full City Council on October 15th, 2012. A table on the status of the October 2012 recommendations is attached to this report (Attachment A). Other City actions to date are shown on Attachment B. RECENT ACTIONS BY SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY The City relies heavily on the initiative and progress of its partners. These are just a few highlights of partner activities since last October: • Community Action Marin instituted a second street outreach mental health team (CARE Team 11) for San Rafael to assist people with mental health and substance abuse issues • Business, service providers and the faith community developed a working group on the homeless issue called Thursday Morning Group • Community members have participated in the community action planning workgroups for the implementation of Marin's 10 -year plan to end homelessness ACTION PLAN RECOMMENDED FOR ADOPTION BY CITY COUNCIL OVERALL GOAL AND OBJECTIVES San Rafael City Council's overall goal is to significantly reduce homelessness in San Rafael. OBJECTIVES Short-term (to be completed by December 2013): • Reduce the impact of the "street population" in Downtown • Create a more welcoming environment in our Downtown, library, local parks/open space and areas adjacent to local schools • Authorize the hiring of an additional Police Officer for up to three years to support the Downtown Foot Patrol to work closely with the City's new Mental Health Outreach position • Provide multiple ways for residents to contribute to creating a more vibrant Downtown • Increase community understanding of the complex issue of homelessness by declaring September as homeless awareness month Page 3 of 6 Long-term: • Promote the creation of additional affordable housing stock • Implement permanent policies that maintain a healthy and safe environment • Support programs that keep people housed • Facilitate accountability for mental health treatment follow up • Continue to collaborate with the county, local jurisdictions and service providers to address this issue at both a policy and action level • Explore policy and funding options at the state level • Identify funding sources for program implementation • Work with community and service providers to implement Marin County's 10 - year plan to end homelessness (2013-2023) • Continue consistent monitoring of City's progress of key actions STRATEGIES Reduce the impact of the street population in Downtown: It is crucial to meet this objective as our residents have demanded a change, and it will be harder to attract tourists and shoppers if the Downtown is not welcoming. • Compel serial inebriates to choose between treatment and incarceration through working with the District Attorney, the Courts and the City Attorney.
