Hi Daisy,
I reviewed the information and I believe what you have is accurate. If possible, adding in 2M cost under PW would be
helpful ($10-12k). If you would like to chat on any of this, I do have some time between 11am and 12pm.
Thanks,

Subject: Encampment Resolution Grant
Hi Greg,
I hope you’re having a good day.
I’m reaching out about the Encampment Resolution Funding opportunity that we’re collaborating on with the County
(we’re working on a tight deadline and the County will be submitting the application on Tuesday). The grant proposal
focuses on the BJBT ‘encampment’ (see attached map), including the entire area from Prado Rd. to Filipponi.
After reviewing the City’s portion of the budget with Michael, we decided it would be helpful to include a portion of
Nemo’s time (25%) since the encampment area includes Prado Bridge and LOVR, and Nemo oversees the
maintenance contracts for 2M. We are also planning to include a small portion of your time for management (5%). Do
those estimations sound accurate / appropriate to you?
We have also included temporary restrooms and trash cans (and services) to be placed at or near the Prado Rd. and
LOVR trailhead entrances – based on grant requirements (Greg Avakian weighed in on the location for those
services). I based those estimates on the RR Safe Parking costs for Honey Huts and San Luis Garbage, but since
those services would fall under Public Works, I wanted to loop you in to confirm costs.
Here’s the draft budget for you to review –
ERF Draft Budget - City of SLO.xlsx
I believe you are out of the office today, but if you have time to connect on all of this on Monday, please let me know.
Thanks,
Daisy

Hi All,
Since Monday is a holiday, I wanted to send you the agenda for Tuesday’s Field Team meeting. We’ll be meeting in
the large conference room in our 919 Palm St. office.
I’m hoping we can spend most of the meeting reviewing our Strategic Plan, and I’ve attached the draft we received
back from our design consultant on Friday. We are already compiling edits to send back to them, so the final version
of the document will reflect those changes as well as any feedback you all have.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I’ll look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
Thanks,
Daisy

Subject: Encampment Resolution Funding Opportunity
Hi All,
We are working on a grant application with the County for an Encampment Resolution Funding opportunity, and we
would like Code Enforcement’s support for the proposal. We’re working on a tight deadline, with the full application
being due on Tuesday, February 28th, and Adrienne Harris (cc’d) is helping to organize all of the City-related
content.
We have identified the Bob Jones Bike Trail (extending to the Strawberry Fields area) as the proposed encampment,
which is reflected on the attached draft map. We would like to contact all the major property owners,
that are impacted by the encampments along BJBT and Strawberry Fields, to get their support for the proposal.
Would you be able to help us identify the impacted property owners and provide their contact information?
Due to the short timeline, we are hoping to make contact with the property owners by next Tuesday or Wednesday in
order to incorporate their support into the proposal.
Please reach out with any questions and thank you for your support with this project.
Thanks,
Daisy

Hi Daisy, Teresa,
I have the developer from Santa Barbara (Dignity Moves) who wants to serve as the developer for our DSS lot project asking if
there are civil drawings available for this lot, or something that clearly shows where utilities are?
I apologize if something like this belongs to the County, but my initial thought was that the City would have this.

Steering Committee,
We wanted to update you on the Encampment Resolution Funding opportunity that the County – in partnership with
the City, Good Samaritan, and DignityMoves – submitted a proposal for yesterday.
The County’s total ask was for $13,361,999.19, and the City’s portion of that ask is $574,109.80. $9.6 million of the
County’s ask is for the permanent supportive and transitional housing development costs through DignityMoves
(providing 46 permanent supportive units and 34 transitional units), and $2.5 million is for Good Samaritan’s outreach,
case management, and program management for the proposed housing site. The remaining $572,748 is allocated for
County staff and administrative costs.
The proposal is a significant ask for a County of our size, but our project should be prioritized since the BJBT
encampment overlaps with Caltrans right-of-way. Award notifications will be made by the end of April.
I’ve attached the full proposal, budget, and timeline, but please reach out if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Encampment Information
1. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE PEOPLE RESIDING WITHIN THE
PRIORITIZED ENCAMPMENT SITE. THE
DESCRIPTION MUST INCLUDE DEMOGRAPHICS
AND MAY INCLUDE HOUSEHOLD
COMPOSITIONS, DISABILITIES, AND
PROJECTED SERVICE AND HOUSING NEEDS.
(1500 CHARACTER LIMIT)
While the specific individuals living in the encampment changes
overtime, the following general characteristics describe the
people residing in the Bob Jones Bike Trail (BJBT) Corridor
encampment. People are 35-60 years old, and many struggle
with mental illness and/or substance abuse. They are alone and
not camped with other family members. Many of the individuals
have a criminal record (theft, vandalism, public intoxication, DUI,
drug sale/use, etc.) Individuals with 290 felonies (sex offender
history) are not able to access overnight shelter at the nearby
congregate homeless shelter due to families and children being
on site. People residing in the encampment have poor hygiene
and overall health. One recent resident is an amputee. For a
number of residents, being homeless has impacted their self-
esteem and has triggered past traumas.
Individuals residing in the encampment need access to non-
congregate housing as some individuals assert that congregate
housing situations are traumatic for them. They also need
access to consistent case management and mental health and
substance use treatment services to become document ready
and transition to permanent housing.
2. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
PRIORITIZED ENCAMPMENT SITE IN WHICH
THE PEOPLE YOU ARE PROPOSING TO SERVE
ARE RESIDING. THE DESCRIPTION MUST
INCLUDE THE SPECIFIC LOCATION, PHYSICAL
SIZE OF THE AREA, THE TYPES OF
STRUCTURES PEOPLE ARE RESIDING IN AT
THE SITE, WHETHER VEHICLES ARE PRESENT,
AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT OR NOTABLE
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
SITE. (1000 CHARACTER LIMIT)
The encampment is approximately 229 acres and runs along the
San Luis Creek corridor adjacent to Highway 101 in the southern
area of the City of San Luis Obispo. The entire area is in the
floodplain, and the land is owned by a combination of the City,
County, and private landowners. The majority of the land is
underutilized open space, the Bob Jones Bike Trail, or fallow
farmland. There are few vehicle access points to the area.
The structures people reside in come in all forms, from individual
tents to multiple tent compounds with tarps connecting each tent
structure. These structures can be found in the creek bed and on
higher ground along the corridor.
People residing in the encampment access the area on foot or
by bike. Occasionally vehicles will be left on nearby roads or in
the fallow farm field. There is no access to garbage receptacles
or bathrooms, so human waste, trash, syringes, and other
materials accumulate in the area. There are frequent illegal
campfires.
7
3. WHY IS THIS PARTICULAR ENCAMPMENT
SITE BEING PRIORITIZED? (1000 CHARACTER
LIMIT)
This encampment is the largest in the City of San Luis Obispo.
Justification for prioritized encampment:
1. High risk of flooding in the winter
2. Continuous danger of wildfire in drier months to those living in
the encampment and nearby houses and businesses
3. The Fire Department responds to almost daily fire-related
incidents
4. Difficulty accessing remote location during emergencies
5. Encampment population frequently overdose
6. Barriers locating individuals in encampment lead to extended
pre-hospital times
7. Waste from encampment residents lead to environmental
hazards
8. Safety concerns as families access the Bob Jones Bike Trail
(BJBT) corridor
9. Encampment residents entering and exiting on CalTrans state
right-of-way
From 2020-2022, a total of 273 incident calls were made to this
encampment, of which 116 were made in 2022.

Proposal’s Outcomes
5. WHAT ARE THE OUTCOMES THIS
PROPOSAL SEEKS TO ACCOMPLISH BY THE
GRANT CLOSE (6/30/2026)? IF FUNDED,
WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY ACTIVITIES YOU ARE
PLANNING TO IMPLEMENT TO ACHIEVE THE
PROPOSAL’S OUTCOMES? (1000 CHARACTER
LIMIT)
1. Reduce those experiencing unsheltered homelessness by
50% in BJBT encampment by 6/30/2026
2. Provide outreach to 200 individuals in the BJBT encampment
by 6/30/2026
3. Out of the 200 to be served by outreach, transition 100 into
interim housing by 6/30/2026
4. Out of the 200 to be served by outreach, transition 60 into
permanent housing by 6/30/2026
5. Of the 100 transitioned to interim housing, 100% will receive
supportive services case management on site
6. Of the 60 transitioned to permanent housing, 80% will receive
supportive services case management on site
8
7. Of those served and needing referrals to County Behavioral
Health or Drug and Alcohol services, 50% will access services
within 60 days of referral
8. Of those served and needing referrals to Department of Social
Services, 60% will access services within 60 days of referral
9. Decrease calls by 50% to City of San Luis Obispo Law
Enforcement and Fire Department regarding BJBT by 6/30/2026
6. HOW WILL THE APPLICANT MEASURE
PROGRESS TOWARDS THE PROPOSAL’S
OUTCOMES? (1000 CHARACTER LIMIT)
The County of San Luis Obispo will meet no less than monthly
with the City of San Luis Obispo and Good Samaritan Shelter
(GSS) to monitor progress, discuss barriers, and note
accomplishments. Additionally, GSS and the City will submit
quarterly progress reports to the County outlining progress to
these outcomes. The County will track performance outcomes
through the Homeless Management Information System and
Coordinated Entry System to ensure people are being engaged
and assisted, progressing from the encampment to interim
sheltering or housing, ultimately achieving residency in a
permanent housing solution. The County will also monitor
housing retention data to ensure the clients that move into
permanent housing are receiving the supportive services
necessary for successful housing stabilization.
7. ARE THERE ANY LOCAL ORDINANCES,
RESOURCES, OR OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY
HINDER ACHIEVING THE PROPOSAL’S
OUTCOMES? IF SO, HOW WILL THE
APPLICANT NAVIGATE THESE CHALLENGES?
(1000 CHARACTER LIMIT)
HUD classifies the County of San Luis Obispo as a “largely
suburban” community, and in 2020, the County had the 3rd
largest percentage of unsheltered homelessness nationwide in
communities of this size. Per the 2022 point-in-time count, 80%
of the homeless population was unsheltered, the majority in the
City of San Luis Obispo. Since 2019, year-round emergency
shelter capacity in the County has increased by 115 beds (73%),
but our community still only has the capacity to shelter 20-30%
of the people experiencing homelessness. The City has had a
severe lack of interim shelter capacity, especially for people
needing supportive services. The City's largest congregate
shelter (40 Prado) has a capacity of 129 beds, which are
typically full on any given night. The County and its partners

PLEASE DESCRIBE. (1000 CHARACTER LIMIT) On August 9th, 2022 the County of San Luis Obispo Board of
Supervisor's approved the San Luis Obispo Countywide Plan to
Address Homelessness with a primary goal to reduce the
number of people experiencing homeless to 50% of the current
level within 5 years. Within the plan are six distinct lines of effort
which can stand alone; however, are all needed to ensure the
plan's success. This initiative includes the following: 1. Creating
affordable and appropriately designed housing opportunities and
shelter options for underserved populations, 2. Focus efforts on
housing stability for those experiencing homelessness by
expanding supportive services, housing navigation, and
prevention, 3. Improve and expand data management efforts
through the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)
and Coordinated entry, 4. Create, identify, and streamline
funding and resources, 5. Strengthen regional collaboration, and
6. Build public engagement through information-sharing and
partnership.

9. DESCRIBE THE PROPOSED OUTREACH AND
ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY, CASE
MANAGEMENT, AND / OR SERVICE
COORDINATION FOR PEOPLE WHILE THEY
ARE CONTINUING TO RESIDE WITHIN THE
ENCAMPMENT SITE. QUANTIFY UNITS OF
SERVICE TO BE DELIVERED INCLUDING THE
RATIO OF STAFF TO PEOPLE SERVED,
FREQUENCY OF ENGAGEMENT, AND LENGTH
OF SERVICE PERIODS. (2000 CHARACTER
LIMIT)
The County of SLO and the City of SLO will work collaboratively
with key partners to provide intensive outreach for individuals
residing at the BJBT encampment, and ultimately interim and
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) services. Good Samaritan
Shelter (GSS) will deploy an outreach team that will work in
collaboration with the City of SLO Field Teams consisting of Fire
Dept, Law Enforcement, park rangers and Behavioral Health.
During the first 4-6 months of the outreach engagement plan,
teams will go out daily to engage individuals at the BJBT
encampment to build trust and provide information into the HMIS
and encampment mapping software. The two database systems
will help to track individuals that are already residing in the area
and will feed into the Coordinated Entry System (CES). Through
CES, residents of the BJBT encampment will be identified and
offered interim housing at the proposed SLO County Welcome
Home Village. The Village will consist of 34 interim housing units
that will follow a Non-Congregate Shelter model. Individuals will
be offered their own 10x10 unit that will include a bed, desk,
heater, a/c, light fixture and electrical plug-in. Residents will have
shared bathroom/shower facilities, on-site dining room, outdoor
& pet area, and on-site laundry facilities. Interim Housing will be
provided for an average of 6–12 months to assist residents in
connecting to services, providing stabilization, and becoming
document ready to transition to permanent housing upon
discharge. The Village will also consist of 46 Single Room
Occupancy individual units that will provide PSH for 46
individuals as they transition from interim housing into PSH. The
County of SLO anticipates GSS to provide the outreach, shelter
10
& housing operations. The ratio of staff at the Village to residents
will be an average of 1:12, not including additional support
services from partner agencies such as SLO County Behavioral
Health, Public Health and Dept. of Social Services.
10. DESCRIBE THE ROLE OF COORDINATED
ENTRY IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS PROPOSAL
AND HOW COORDINATED ENTRY POLICIES OR
PROCESSES WILL SUPPORT AND / OR HINDER
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROPOSAL.
(1000 CHARACTER LIMIT)
Good Samaritan Shelter (GSS) is a very committed participant in
the Coordinated Entry System (CES). GSS currently operates
several emergency shelters/ navigation centers and rapid
rehousing programs in the neighboring Santa Barbara (SB)
County. Good Samaritan Shelter’s main emergency shelters also
serve as entry points into CES and GSS operates a Diversion
program that also operates as CES Entry Points. GSS staff are
actively engaged in the CES committees as well as regularly
attends the ongoing CES meetings. The CES process will be
critical to the success of the placement of identified BJBT
encampment residents into the Welcome Home Village. SLO
County will utilize both HMIS and encampment mapping
software while providing outreach to identify residents and they
will be placed on a by name CES housing prioritization list in
order to be able to select encampment residents into the
Welcome Home Village.
11. PLEASE DESCRIBE THE INTERIM SHELTER
AND PERMANENT HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
PROPOSED TO SUPPORT THIS PROPOSAL
AND PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF THE
APPLICANT'S DEMONSTRATED ABILITY AND
COMMITMENT TO DELIVER PERMANENT
HOUSING FOR PEOPLE RESIDING IN THE
PRIORITIZED ENCAMPMENT. (2000
CHARACTER LIMIT)
The Welcome Home Village will be developed by our key
partner, Dignity Moves, who has extensive experience in
developing interim housing options throughout the State of
California. The village will consist of 34 interim housing units that
will be developed utilizing Boss Cubez construction, each unit
will be comprised of a 10x10 room that will include a bed, desk,
heater, a/c, light fixture and electrical plug ins. The interim
housing units will provide necessary privacy for individuals from
the encampment to have their own space and then work with
case managers to connect to services and be able to work on
becoming Document Ready. The remaining 46 units at the
Village will be developed by utilizing Life Ark construction, they
will each be a SRO model that will consist of a bedroom,
bathroom, and a small kitchenette. On-site staff will provide
ongoing supportive housing services to focus on housing
retention and stability. Good Samaritan Shelter (GSS) has been
identified as the service provider for the Village, and they have
35+ years of experience in serving the homeless population,
including people residing in encampments. In December 2020,
GSS responded to a 60+ person encampment in Isla Vista
(Santa Barbara County) and opened up a 20-unit pallet shelter
project for a 6 month time period. During the six months, GSS
served 40 of the residents from the Isla Vista encampment and
successfully placed 24 individuals into permanent housing and
linked all residents to necessary services that focused on
stabilization. GSS also worked in partnership with Dignity Moves
and Santa Barbara County to develop a 34-unit Interim Housing
11
Project in downtown Santa Barbara that opened in August 2022.
During the six months of operation to date, 12 individuals have
already moved to permanent housing and 98% of residents are
document ready. GSS currently provides supporting services to
more than 500 individuals and families in permanent housing
across Santa Barbara and SLO Counties.
12. DESCRIBE HOW THIS PROPOSAL IS
TAILORED TO MEET THE NEEDS AND
PREFERENCES OF PEOPLE RESIDING WITHIN
THE PRIORITIZED ENCAMPMENT. (1500
CHARACTER LIMIT)
In 2022, San Luis Obispo County conducted a Point-in-Time
Count along with a survey of 333 unsheltered and sheltered
individuals experiencing homelessness in order to understand
their experiences. Information from this effort helps the City and
County tailor services for homeless residents. In addition to this
survey, the City’s Field Teams conduct regular outreach to the
people living in the BJBT encampment. City staff have
established relationships with the people residing in the area and
understand what assistance they need. Over the past year, the
City's Field Teams have engaged daily with individuals in the
BJBT encampment, identifying needs, preferences, and barriers
individuals face every day. That feedback has been implemented
into this proposal.
The individuals living in the encampment prefer to have access
to non-congregate housing options, and as such, the County will
be building single-occupancy room transitional housing on
nearby County property. Many of the people in the encampment
struggle with mental illness or substance abuse, so the County is
also building permanent supportive housing on the site. This
facility is co-located with County Social Services, public transit,
and is less than one mile from the 40 Prado Homeless Services
Center, a DMV office, and a Social Security Administration
office.

13. DESCRIBE HOW THIS PROPOSAL
CONSIDERS AND PLANS FOR THE DYNAMIC
NATURE OF ENCAMPMENTS INCLUDING
POTENTIAL INFLOW OF PEOPLE INTO THE
GEOGRAPHICALLY SERVED AREAS. (1000
CHARACTER LIMIT)
The City and County have a high percentage of unsheltered
homeless individuals, and the number of people residing in the
BJBT encampment fluctuates over time. The site will continue to
be a priority focus area for the City and County of San Luis
Obispo. The City’s Field Team of paramedics, police, and social
workers are an integral part of the City’s homelessness
prevention efforts and conduct almost daily outreach to people
residing in the encampment. They will continue to connect
people with services and interim housing resources, in
partnership with Good Samaritan Shelter outreach staff.
The County is working to accelerate the building of transitional
and permanent supportive housing options, like the Welcome
Home Village proposed. They are also revamping their
Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and
Coordinated Entry System (CES) to make service delivery more
efficient and effective, strengthening the pathway to housing for
people residing in the encampment.
14. DESCRIBE HOW THIS PROPOSAL WILL
SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WITH CONTINUED
ACCESS TO AND / OR THE STORAGE OF THEIR
PERSONAL PROPERTY. (1000 CHARACTER
LIMIT)
The City of San Luis Obispo currently operates storage areas for
encampment clean outs in the area. They have several seatrain
containers that are designated for this use. Temporary storage
guidelines have already been established to store clients'
belongings which allows them access when they are ready to
move their belongings to a permanent location. Clients entering
the proposed project will be able to bring with them a minimal
amount of items but additional temporary storage will be
available for items that fit within the temporary storage
guidelines.
15. DESCRIBE HOW THIS PROPOSAL WILL
SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WITH SERVICE
ANIMALS AND/OR PETS. (1000 CHARACTER
LIMIT)
The Welcome Home Village will allow residents to bring in
service animals and/ or pets. All animals will be required to have
up to date vaccinations, along with health check ups that will be
coordinated by support staff and partners such as Cares 4 Paws.
Welcome Home Village will have a pet relief area, along with a
pet grooming station, so residents can care for their animals as
they receive both interim and PSH housing opportunities.
In addition, the County of San Luis Obispo developed a
relationship with Cal Poly Animal Sciences Department and had
pre-veterinary medicine students come out to the safe parking
site to provide free check-ups, administer vaccinations and other
needed attention for the dogs and cats belonging to the clients.
The service was offered multiple times throughout the year and
22
was repeatedly one of the best attended programs offered at the
site.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE IT SEEKS TO SERVE AND
THE TYPES OF SERVICES AND HOUSING TO
BE PROVIDED IN THE PROPOSAL. INCLUDE AN
EXPLANATION OF HOW THE REQUESTED ERF-
2-R AMOUNT WAS DETERMINED. (1000
CHARACTER LIMIT)
The proposal seeks to serve 200 individuals through outreach,
while moving 100 to interim housing and 60 to permanent
supportive housing. An innovative approach was sought to
provide both transitional housing and permanent supportive
housing in the same space.
The Housing Services Oversight Council states a local
permanent supportive housing unit has an approximate cost of
$550,000. Life Ark proposed permanent housing structures that
cost approximately $98,000. PSH historically takes 3-5 years for
development. Modular, non-congregate interim housing is a low-
23
cost effective approach to housing people rapidly compared to
traditional congregate shelters. Previous collaborations between
GSS and DignityMoves has a proven track record of success
with this outreach and housing model.

(1500 CHARACTER LIMIT)
The City of San Luis Obispo coordinates the existing field team
which includes fire, law enforcement, park rangers and public
works, along with contracted social workers that conduct
outreach to the BJBT encampment. The City will also be
implementing health and sanitation measures at the identified
encampment.
Good Samaritan Shelter (GSS) has been serving the homeless
population in Northern Santa Barbara (SB) County since its
inception in 1988 and has vast experience in operating homeless
programs. GSS is the largest shelter provider in SB County and
operates programming that includes: a jail diversion program,
step-down housing, clean and sober living, permanent
supportive housing, transitional shelter, residential treatment,
emergency shelter, mental health treatment, outpatient drug and
31
alcohol treatment programs, and peer support programs, among
others.
DignityMoves works to end unsheltered street homelessness in
our communities by building interim supportive housing with
rapid, cost-effective, scalable solutions. DignityMoves serves as
the developer and project manager when creating an interim
housing community. DignityMoves oversees all project
management and will collaborate with Good Samaritan and the
County of San Luis Obispo. DignityMoves has successfully
completed similar projects in San Francisco (70 units at 33
Gough Street) and Santa Barbara (35 units at 1016 Santa
Barbara Street) and Rohnert Park (60 units).
22. DESCRIBE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF HOW
LOCAL JURISDICTION(S) AND THE COC HAVE
COLLABORATED ON THE DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROPOSAL. (1000
CHARACTER LIMIT)
The City of San Luis Obispo where the prioritized encampment
resides, and the County of San Luis Obispo where the interim
housing and permanent supportive housing will be built, have
partnered on this effort to help people living in the encampment
and are committed to the project as evidenced by the proposed
cross-jurisdictional effort to provide meaningful services to these
individuals. Caltrans and the San Luis Obispo Council of
Governments also supports these efforts. The CoC and County
recently adopted the San Luis Obispo Countywide Plan to
Address Homelessness (2022-2027). The 1st Line of Effort is to
create affordable and appropriately designed housing
opportunities and shelter options for underserved populations
using rapid-cycle implementation to increase non-congregate
sheltering/interim housing capacity through projects such as
pallet shelters, cabins, and tiny homes. The Plan seeks to create
300 new, non-congregate interim shelter units countywide within
3 years.

23. IDENTIFY ANY ENTITIES THAT HAVE A
RIGHT TO AND/OR CONTROL OF THE
PROPERTY UPON WHICH THE ENCAMPMENT
SITE RESIDES AND DISCUSS WHETHER EACH
OF THESE ENTITIES COMMITTED ALLOWING
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROPOSAL. IF
THEY HAVE NOT COMMITTED, PLEASE
EXPLAIN HOW YOU HAVE OR PLAN TO
ENGAGE WITH THIS ENTITY TO IMPLEMENT
YOUR PROPOSAL. ADITIONALLY, DESCRIBE
HOW YOU COLLABORATED WITH CALTRANS
ON YOUR PROGRAM DESIGN,
IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, AND TIMELINE.
(1000 CHARACTER LIMIT)
The land where the encampment site resides is owned by the
City and private landowners. Part of the area is also within the
Caltrans right-of-way. The City and County have partnered on
this effort to help people living in the encampment and are
committed to the project as evidenced by the proposed cross-
jurisdictional effort. Caltrans and SLOCOG also support these
efforts (see letters of support).
The private landowners were engaged and are committed to
these efforts to assist people experiencing homelessness in this
encampment. The community witnesses the struggle that their
unhoused neighbors experience. The threat of flooding, fire, and
crime in this location are detrimental to health and safety.
32
Landowners are worried about the safety of people living on their
land, the costs of clean-up, and impacts to the surrounding
community. They have already been coordinating with the City to
assist in efforts to address the encampment and will continue to
do so.
Centering People
24. HOW WERE PERSONS WITH LIVED
EXPERIENCE MEANINGFULLY INCORPORATED
INTO THE PLANNING AND PROPOSED
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS
PROPOSAL? PLEASE IDENTIFY WHETHER
ANY PERSPECTIVES WERE INCORPORATED
FROM PERSONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY
UNSHELTERED AND / OR FORMERLY OR
CURRENTLY RESIDING WITHIN THE
PRIORITIZED ENCAMPMENT. (1000
CHARACTER LIMIT)
While developing the City’s recent Homeless Response
Strategic Plan, staff interviewed 23 unsheltered persons, a
percentage of whom were residing in the BJBT encampment.
The City’s Field Team conducts outreach to individuals living in
the encampment and have gotten to know the people and their
individual needs for services and shelter. This proposal is a
direct result of that outreach. Individuals residing in the
encampment struggle with mental illness and/or substance
abuse and would benefit from consistent case management,
mental health and substance use treatment services, and other
supportive services. The County recently adopted the San Luis
Obispo Countywide Plan to Address Homelessness (2022-2027)
which included a person with lived experience as part of the
steering committee and included input from focus groups from
persons with lived experience in the design of the plan.
Increased interim housing with pathways to permanent housing
are key components of the plan..
25. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE HOW THE PROPOSAL
EXEMPLIFIES HOUSING FIRST APPROACHES
AS DEFINED IN WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS
CODE SECTION 8255. (1000 CHARACTER
LIMIT)
The Welcome Home Village Project will align with California's
Housing First Policy in accordance with CCR Title 25 8409 (b).
This program will help participants quickly identify and resolve
barriers to maintaining or obtaining services. There will be no
requirements in place for someone seeking services, shelter or
housing to be able to be served by the outreach team and key
partners. All persons will be served regardless of race, gender,
disability, substance abuse, criminal history, legal documentation
status, or any other perceived housing barrier. Every effort will
equally be given to clients to assist with increasing housing
stability. Interim housing residents seeking to move to the
permanent units will not be required to be "housing ready" nor
will they be rejected on the basis of credit or financial history,
poor or lack of rental history, or prior criminal convictions
unrelated to housing tenancy. Services provided will be client-
centered.
26. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE HOW THIS PROPOSAL
WILL CENTER AN INDIVIDUAL’S CHOICE AND
PROVIDE TRAUMA INFORMED SERVICES AND
SUPPORTS. (1000 CHARACTER LIMIT)
GSS and the City’s Field Team will implement a client-centered,
trauma-informed approach, working to build trusting relationships
with individuals served. Any services provided are voluntary.
GSS staff are required to take annual training in best practices
for trauma-informed care. Training includes topics such as
33
Community Resiliency Model, Rapid Resolution, Cultural
Competency, & Strength Based Case Management. Using
evidence-based practices is critical for positive long-lasting
outcomes for participants. GSS has two Trauma Informed-Care
Practitioners on staff, a certified Community Resiliency Model
trainer, & two trainers in the VA model of Rapid Resolution.
27. DESCRIBE HOW THIS PROPOSAL WILL
OPERATIONALIZE HARM REDUCTION AND
PROVIDE SERVICES THAT IMPROVE A
PERSON’S HEALTH, DIGNITY, AND SAFETY
WHILE THEY CONTINUE TO RESIDE WITHIN
THE PRIORITIZED ENCAMPMENT SITE. (1000
CHARACTER LIMIT)
Services included:
1. Good Samaritan Shelter (GSS) Outreach Team carry Narcan
and will be able to distribute to encampment residents to prevent
overdoses
2. GSS works with Pacific Pride to be able to distribute fentanyl
test strips to prevent overdoses amongst encampment residents
with Substance Use Disorders
3. GSS operates a Sobering Center just 30 miles south of the
encampment location, and can provide voluntary sobering
services for up to 72 hours before transitioning residents either
back to the encampment or to interim housing
4. GSS has contracts with the County to provide withdrawal
management and residential treatment services nearby in Santa
Maria
5. Medicated Assisted Treatment services have been proven to
be an effective harm reduction intervention and will be provided
by groups such as Sun Street, Aegis, and SLO County
Behavioral Health
6. The City will provide trash services, restrooms, and periodic
paramedic assistance through the Field Team.
28. FOR ENCAMPED LOCATIONS THAT ARE
OBJECTIVELY DANGEROUS, DESCRIBE HOW
THE PROPOSAL WILL SEEK TO PREVENT
HARM FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING
UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS IN THESE
LOCATIONS. (1000 CHARACTER LIMIT)
Due to the location of the encampment along San Luis Obispo
Creek, there is a threat of flooding during storm events. The City
sends Field Teams to the area before storms to inform residents
and help them find safe evacuation locations. Wildfire is a
constant threat in the creek bed and the surrounding open space
from escaped encampment fires. With increased field team
outreach support, the City and County hope that the incidence of
fires will decrease. Likewise, with expanded outreach at the
encampment, staff will be able to identify individuals potentially
needing medical assistance more quickly.
29. IDENTIFY WHAT CONTROLS ARE OR WILL
BE IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT ALL ERF-2-R
FUNDED PARTIES WILL NOT PENALIZE
HOMELESSNESS. THE TERM “PENALIZE
HOMELESSNESS” MEANS TO IMPOSE, BY A
GOVERNMENTAL UNIT, CRIMINAL OR CIVIL
PENALTIES ON PERSONS WHO ARE
HOMELESS IN A MANNER THAT IS RELATED
TO THOSE PERSONS’ ENGAGEMENT IN
NECESSARY HUMAN ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING
The City has invested significant resources to expand housing
options for all and implement strategies with partners to reduce
chronic homelessness. While the City does have an ordinance
prohibiting camping on city streets and parking areas, the City
created Compassionate Assistance, Mitigation, and Prevention
(CAMP) Standards to guide City staff actions regarding
unpermitted camps occurring on public property. City staff are
expected to exercise care and discretion when making decisions
on how to address community health and safety concerns. City
34
SLEEPING, RESTING, AND EATING. (1000
CHARACTER LIMIT) staff work to support and refer people to shelter and care
resources. The standards reinforce the importance of an
individual’s choice. Only when staff observe someone engaging
in an unlawful activity (e.g. starting fires), should law
enforcement investigate. The standards are clear – involuntarily
homeless persons may not be penalized simply for being
homeless or on public property, where no alternatives are
available.
30. DESCRIBE HOW THIS PROPOSAL
CONSIDERS SANITATION SERVICES FOR
PEOPLE RESIDING IN THE PRIORITIZED
ENCAMPMENT. THIS MAY INCLUDE BUT IS NOT
LIMITED TO NON-INTRUSIVE, CURB-SIDE
WASTE REMOVAL AND ACCESS TO CLEAN
AND AVAILABLE BATHROOMS. (1000
CHARACTER LIMIT)
The encampment is on community open space with few access
points and no bathrooms or garbage receptacles, so human
waste and trash accumulate in the area. The City will add bear-
proof dumpsters for trash collection along the BJBT
encampment and portable bathrooms at trail entrance points.
The City will regularly maintain these facilities during the grant,
while the County and its partners work to place individuals in
interim and permanent housing. Showers and hot meals, along
with other day services, are available at 40 Prado Homeless
Services Center just adjacent to the Bob Jones Northern
trailhead. Homeless services provider, Shower the People, also
offers showers 4 days a week in the City of San Luis Obispo at
various locations.

31. HOW IS YOUR COMMUNITY CURRENTLY
SUPPORTING AND / OR ENGAGING WITH
PEOPLE RESIDING WITHIN THE PRIORITIZED
ENCAMPMENT? (1000 CHARACTER LIMIT)
The City of San Luis Obispo’s Field Team of paramedics, police,
and social workers conduct daily outreach to people residing in
the BJBT encampment. City Field Team outreach efforts include
providing medical care; family reunification assistance;
transportation to services, the hospital, train station, and other
locations; and referrals to 40 Prado Homeless Services Center,
County Drug and Alcohol Services, and Transitions Mental
Health Association. Showers and hot meals, along with other
day services, are available at 40 Prado Homeless Services
Center just adjacent to the Bob Jones Northern trailhead.
Homeless services provider, Shower the People, also offers

locations.
32. IF THIS PROPOSAL IS SELECTED, IN
ADVANCE OF RECEIVING FUNDING, WHAT
STEPS WILL YOUR COMMUNITY TAKE TO
SUPPORT THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE
ENCAMPMENT AND SWIFT IMPLEMENTATION
OF THIS PROPOSAL? (1000 CHARACTER
LIMIT)
Currently, the City of San Luis Obispo Field Teams visit the
BJBT encampment daily to gain trust of those individuals
experiencing homelessness and to provide outreach to the
individuals. Good Samaritan will deploy an outreach team that
will work in collaboration with the existing City of San Luis
Obispo Field Teams to go out on a daily basis to engage
individuals on the BJBT encampment. During the first 4-6
months of the outreach engagement plan, outreach teams will go
out on a daily basis to engage individuals at the BJBT
35
encampment to build trust and to be able to provide information
into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and
Fulcrum. The two database systems will help to track individuals
that are already residing in the area and will feed into the
Coordinated Entry System. The clients that are discovered in the
outreach will be the clients that will be prioritized for this project.

I have attached a CSV export with lat/long, addresses, incident type, date/time, if drugs/alcohol were involved, and
incident number.
Can you map these incidents, and clip them to the incidents that fall into the polygon of interest per the map/Daisy’s
description?
If you could return a report of total incidents per year, with category totals per year also. I apologize for the short
notice.
I have attached my battalion chief and deputy chief, I will not be back on duty until Saturday, February 25 th – please
reply to all as they will be available during the week to receive the data.

Good afternoon, BC MacDonald,
The head of the Homeless Response Field Team is working on getting funding through the County and is looking for
homeless response related (specifically related to the Bob Jones Trail / Strawberry fields areas) from our department
for the last three years. Here is what they have specifically requested:
Transient incident reports / calls for service – especially any in or around the BJBT, if you’re able to provide
that level of detail
o Time Period: It would be helpful to have data for 2022, 2021, and 2020 (yearly totals and BJBT totals if
possible)
Note: Keanu already provided 2022 MCU data for transports, dispatched calls, and requests from PD/FD – so
only the general transient incident reports are needed
Please work with Captain Hoover to generate this data and let me know if you need any clarification. Please see the
email below for history. This information is needed for an application that is due on Tuesday, Feb 28, so the timeline is
quite short.
I appreciate the efforts of both you and Captain Hoover in gathering the data.

Subject: Encampment Resolution Funding Opportunity
Importance: High
Hi All,
We are working on a grant application with the County for an Encampment Resolution Funding opportunity, and we
would like the Fire Department’s support for the proposal. We’re working on a tight deadline, with the full application
being due on Tuesday, February 28th, and Adrienne Harris (cc’d) is helping to organize all of the City-related
content.
We have identified the Bob Jones Bike Trail (extending to the Strawberry Fields area) as the proposed encampment,
which is reflected on the attached draft map. The funding opportunity prioritizes proposals that involve encampments
on state right-of-way, so we have engaged Caltrans to write a letter of support and we are hoping to frame the
proposal to show the impact that the BJBT encampments have on multiple jurisdictions (City / County / State / private
property owners). We will also be reaching out to the private property owners adjacent to BJBT to get their support.
Our application also includes a pathway to housing with the County proposing a tiny home site in the DSS parking lot
off S. Higuera. The County will be engaging a service provider to manage the site (they have reached out to Dignity
Moves and are awaiting confirmation of their involvement).
In our initial conversations with the County, we have discussed focusing the proposal on the health and safety of
individuals inhabiting the encampment(s) because the funding opportunity requires a people-centered approach. With
that in mind, we wanted to request the following information from the Fire Dept. –
Transient incident reports / calls for service – especially any in or around the BJBT, if you’re able to provide
that level of detail
o Time Period: It would be helpful to have data for 2022, 2021, and 2020 (yearly totals and BJBT totals if
possible)
Note: Keanu already provided 2022 MCU data for transports, dispatched calls, and requests from PD/FD – so
only the general transient incident reports are needed
Scott / Brendan, we would also appreciate your feedback on the following application questions to help shape our
narrative of the encampment. You can send me your feedback via email, or we can schedule a time to connect on a
call in the next few days. Chief Tuggle and Chief Fox, if you have additional feedback to add please feel free to reach
out as well – the more content we have to work with the better সহ
Characteristics of people residing in encampment (demographics, disabilities, service and housing needs,
household composition)
What are the needs and housing preferences of the people in the encampment? What are some of the stories
you’ve heard?
Types of structures in the area and other info describing the physical encampment site
Any quantitative safety danger info associated with creek? (Fire Dept. focus – flood and fire risk)
Why is this a priority site? (Fire Dept. focus – flood and fire risk)
What are the primary strategies to ensure that people are not displaced from the encampment to another
unsheltered location?
I would also like to schedule a time to walk BJBT with the CAT, MCU, and Ranger teams to assess the site further and
determine the number of people we feel comfortable estimating for the encampment. I sent a separate meeting invite
for that, Scott and Brendan (tomorrow, 11am).
Please reach out with any questions and thank you for prioritizing this project. We’re encouraged that the County is
taking the lead on this grant opportunity, and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to put forward a competitive proposal.

Subject: Encampment Resolution Funding Update
Derek & Michael,
Teresa and I had a call with Jeff and Kristin from the County’s Homeless Services Division team this morning and we
discussed the Encampment Resolution Funding opportunity.
In prior conversations with the County, they asked us to be the lead applicant on the grant, so we engaged Adrienne
and have had a few preliminary discussions to start outlining our request. However, in this morning’s conversation with
the County they reversed course and said they would like to be the lead applicant – which we were thrilled to hear. We
had identified the Bob Jones Bike Trail as the proposed encampment, with the DSS site as the proposed tiny home
site, and the County is in alignment with that approach. The funding opportunity also prioritizes proposals that involve
encampments on state right-of-way, so we have engaged Caltrans to write a letter of support and we are hoping to
frame the proposal to show the impact that the BJBT encampments have on multiple jurisdictions (City / County /
State / private property owners).
Jeff mentioned that they are also exploring potential proposals for Grover Beach and 2-3 other encampments/sites
throughout the County. The grant guidelines require proposals to focus on one encampment, so if the County does
decide to put forward multiple proposals, they would have to submit separate applications for each. They mentioned
that the City of SLO proposal was their top priority,
Teresa, Adrienne, and I discussed, and we all agree that
Adrienne and I are meeting with the County’s grants team on Tuesday to discuss the proposal logistics, and we will
hopefully determine what content they need us to provide to support the application.
Let us know if you have any questions or concerns, and we will keep you posted on any updates after the Tuesday
meeting.
Thank you,
Daisy

Subject:ERF Timeline
County Team,
I hope you all had a good weekend and are having a good start to the week.
Adrienne and I just connected on action items and timeline for the ERF proposal, and I wanted to touch base to share
our tentative plans and see if there are any updates from your end.
Adrienne is working on the narrative for any City-related questions, and she’s planning to have a draft ready for
internal approval by end of day on Thursday. We’ll work on getting our leadership team’s approval on Thurs / Fri, with
the goal of getting you all of our content by end of day on Friday (2/24). I’m also building out a draft budget for our
City-related costs, and we’ll work on getting that approved and over to you by Friday as well.
Let us know if that timeline works for your team, or if you need any of our information sooner. I outlined the rough
timeline below and included meeting on Monday to finalize and submit the proposal. Let me know if/when you’re
available to meet on Monday and I can send a calendar invite. I’ve also blocked out most of Wed-Fri on my calendar,
so if there are any times in the next few days when it would be helpful to meet (in person or virtually), I can help with
scheduling.
DATE ACTION
Wed, 2/22, 10:30am-12pm Good Samaritan Site Visit - DSS Site / BJBT
Thurs, 2/23 (end of day) Caltrans letter of support received (Daisy to follow up to provide
them with more info)
Fri, 2/24 (end of day) City to provide narrative and budget info to County
Mon, 2/27 (morning) City / County meeting to finalize proposal
Mon, 2/27 (end of day) Submit proposal through portal
Let us know if you have any updates on your end in terms of timeline, budget, etc. I also wanted to share a few links
Adrienne sent us that outline the past ERF awards, in case that information is helpful in shaping the County’s ask.

Hi Daisy,
Sorry for the delay. Regarding next steps: let’s meet in the next week or so with Derek present (at his convenience) to have
this discussion out on the open. No CAPSLO at this point. Just everyone on this email in addition to Derek. I want to have his
clear commitment to supporting such an effort in addition to his ideas to help ensure success. I fully understand it is a county
parcel, but it is an island as such surrounded by the city’s community. So his clear consent, guidance and commitment is critical
at the outset.
Please forward this email to him directly so he clearly understands my sentiments on this issue. And thank you for asking and
being so collaborative.

ATTENTION: This email originated from outside the County's network. Use caution when opening attachments or links.
Joe & Jeff,
I wanted to follow up on the conversation Jeff and I had yesterday regarding placing tiny homes at the DSS location. I
discussed with Teresa and Michael to get more context for that site, and they were both in agreement that DSS would
be an ideal location for tiny homes within the City. Having the homes in close proximity to Social Services would be
beneficial, and since the property is owned by the County there would not be any City permitting requirements.
What do you recommend in terms of next steps? Do you want to set up a meeting to discuss the partnership structure
and include CAPSLO to discuss their interest in serving as the service provider?
Thanks,
Daisy

Bob & Freddy,
I hope this email finds you both well and I hope you had a good (and I’m sure, full) week.
We are working on a grant application with the County for an Encampment Resolution Funding
opportunity, and we wanted to ask for your support on the proposal. We’re working on a tight deadline,
with the full application being due on Tuesday, February 28th, and Adrienne Harris (cc’d) is helping to
organize all of the City-related content.
We have identified the Bob Jones Bike Trail (extending to the Strawberry Fields area) as the proposed
encampment, which is reflected on the attached draft map. We are focusing our proposal on the health
and safety concerns that encampments along BJBT present, including flooding, fires, etc. If either or
both of you have time early next week, would you be willing to write any thoughts you have as to why
this location is a priority for ‘encampment resolution’? Your feedback doesn’t need to be “pretty” –
Adrienne can help shape it all into our narrative সহ But we would love to include any notes,
suggestions, or context you’re able to provide.
Also, if you have any supporting documents or data that you think would be helpful to include, please
let us know.
I’m happy to connect on a call on Tuesday if you have any questions or need more context, and thank
you in advance for your support with this project.
Thanks,
Daisy
