Recommendation
By Minute motion, approve payment to CVAG for the operation of Roy's
Desert Resource Center in the amount of $103,000 for Fiscal Year
2016/2017.
Discussion
At its meeting of March 13, 2008, City Council approved the CVAG Homelessness
Committee's Homeless Strategic Plan. In addition, at the joint CVAG Executive
Committee, Technical Advisory Committee, and Homelessness Committee meeting of
September 29, 2008, approval of an "across the board" funding method for the
operation of Roy's Desert Resource Center was approved. It was agreed that the
contribution be limited to the amount determined using the total estimated operations of
Phase 1 in the amount of $1,023,805 for a ten (10) year period, which is congruent with
the Riverside County's Continuum of Care 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness ending
in August 2017.
The City of Palm Desert has funded Roy's $103,000 annually beginning in FY
2009/2010, and is included as part of the City's FY 2016/2017 budget process. Attached
is a report obtained from CVAG indicating past contributions from valley cities and
Riverside County. In recent years, only Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage and Cathedral
City have continued to contribute to this program.

RE: Annual Contribution for Operating Expenses for Roy's Desert Resource Center
Dear Mayor Spiegel:
In September 2008, the CVAG Executive Committee took action to administer a Multi -Service Center for
the Homeless, now known as Roy's Desert Resource Center (Roy's). CVAG is requesting a contribution
from the City of Palm Desert in the amount of $103.000 for operation expenses at Roy's Desert Resource
Center for fiscal year 2016-17. The amount was determined by the Executive Committee based on the
equal division of the initial operating costs for Roy's.
Since 2010, Roy's Desert Resource Center continues to serve clients from across the Coachella Valley.
Below is a summary of services at Roy's from January 2015 through December 2015:
Approximately 911 unduplicated individuals (men, women and children) have been through the regional
homeless shelter. A breakdown of the total is as follows: 553 male; 350 female; 64 were children 17
years and under, and 226 were seniors 55 years and older. A total of 75 veterans and 44 families
received services and assistance.
Also, 446 of the exiting clients enrolled in Case Management and were successfully placed into housing
ending their cycle of homelessness and 367 achieved full or part time employment. In addition, Path
of Life held at least one clinic a month at Roy's providing medical services for over 110 clients; offering
needed prescriptions and medical referrals. Case Managers referred over 159 clients for mental health
services with FSP and at Oasis Mental Health Center.
Roy's Desert Resource Center is a collaborative effort to help those who have lost their home transition out
of homelessness. The CVAG Executive Committee has committed to continue to administer Roy's through
August 2017, which coincides with the end of Riverside County's 10-year plan to end homelessness. The
City of Palm Desert's contribution is needed to continue to build on the legacy of County Supervisor Roy
Wilson: to help the underserved is a responsibility that must be shared by all.
