BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City Council has been committed to addressing homelessness through activities and
projects that provide support to those experiencing homelessness in the City. Over the last two
County-facilitated Point-in-Time (PIT) Counts, Palm Desert counted 26 and 39 unhoused
individuals in Years 2022 and 2023 respectively. To engage those experiencing homelessness,
the City had contracted with the County’s Homeless Outreach Program since July 2019. In July
2023, the City released an updated request for proposal for street outreach and engagement
homeless services. That process was completed in August 2023 with a new provider identified
to move forward for City Council approval.
City Net is one of the largest street outreach nonprofit providers in Southern California with fifty
active city, county, state, and federal contracts providing homeless and social services to
vulnerable populations. This new agreement proposes to commence immediately upon City
Council approval for a street outreach and engagement program in Palm Desert. City Net will
provide two full-time Case Managers and administrative support to engage individuals
experiencing homelessness in the city. As this contract will be funded by Opioid Settlement
Funding, the program will have a focus on screening participants for substance use and mental
health issues and linking them to appropriate levels of care in addition to shelter and housing.
The City Council has previously opted -in to the Opioid Settlement Agreements which includes
language designating eligible uses including addressing the needs of communities of color and
vulnerable populations including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations that are
disproportionately impacted by Substance Use Disorders.

The goal of these services is to engage individuals experiencing homelessness where they are
in the City to provide linkage to housing, treatment or supportive services. This requires having
trained outreach responders in the field engaging unhoused individuals repeatedly to build trust
in an effort to connect them to treatment and increased housing stability.
LEGAL REVIEW:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
APPOINTED BODY RECOMMENDATION:
This program was approved by the City’s Homeless Task Force as part of their Annual Work
Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Opioid Settlement Agreements made available for participation by cities and counties
provided $100,000 in revenue in 2022/23. It is anticipated to grow to approximately $175,000
annually over the next ten years for the City to connect unhoused individuals to behavioral health
services and housing. Additionally, the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program
has been established as an additional funding source for homeless programs in the City. This
outreach and engagement program will be funded by these two funding sources as shown in the
table below. There is no impact to the General Fund with this action.
