The Encampment 3-L Project will provide funding for the cost of shelter beds located at motels within the City of Redding. In conjunction with Case Management Services Provided by the GNRM, the Provider will operate the Project including providing emergency shelter for eligible individuals. Individuals will be connected to the GNRM Case Management Project to obtain resources and options for transitional or permanent housing. Provider will be required to master lease motel rooms with the motel owner. The motel owner will operate the motel as if the participants are motel guests, providing all of the normal and customary motel services. The motel owner will be responsible for maintenance and normal motel operations such as room cleaning, linens, pest control and overall health and safety of the motel. Components of this program should include: a. Accept referrals first through the CIRT Outreach Team and ERF Case Managers; if no referrals have been received from these two sources, the Provider may receive referrals from other community providers for persons connected with Linden Canyon or Progress/Technology Way/Breslauer encampments. Camping location must be verified through the Homeless Certification process. Funding will not assist people not from one of these encampments. b. Coordinate with the GNRM Encampment Case Management project for supportive services. If clients sheltered are unwilling or unable to connect with GNRM case managers, the provider will connect the person(s) to the other funding sources and nonprofit providers for supportive services. c. Develop a motel room program, wherein arrangements would be made in advance with a motel provider in exchange for providing rooms at a reasonable rate for households participating in this program. Rooms should be negotiated for a fixed time stay such as weekly or monthly. d. Motel rooms will have a maximum stay of ten (10) months per client. e. Build relationships with motel owners to resolve potential conflicts with program households as they arise. f. The motel shall furnish normal and standard motel operations such as: i. Customary overnight desk service as per usual motel management. ii. Sewer, trash disposal, and water service: both hot and cold iii. Electricity and/or gas necessary to provider power for heating, ventilating and air conditioning iv. Linen/terry cloth and laundry services v. Standard motel housekeeping/janitorial services weekly vi. Toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, soap, toilet paper and tissues vii. Pest control for any pests that may negatively affect the health, safety and peaceful enjoyment of the Project by participants. g.
