HOMELESS OUTREACH AND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
LYlh�h'/_�:�•1
The City of Rosemead has been a participant in the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
("SGVCOG") supplemental homeless services program to provide homeless outreach and housing
• navigation services to individuals experiencing homelessness in Rosemead. On February 28, 2023,
the City Council approved the City's HOME -ARP allocation plan which allocated $1,222,084 for
homeless outreach and case management services. On April 3, 2023, the City Manager's Office
published RFP No. 2023-07 requesting proposals from qualified firms to provide homeless
outreach and case management services and received one proposal by the response deadline.
Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council authorize and direct the City Manager to
execute a Professional Services Agreement with L.A. CADA for homeless outreach and case
management services in the amount of $1,213,829 for a four-year period.
Beginning in August 2022, the City has been a participant in the San Gabriel Valley Council of
Governments ("SGVCOG") supplemental homeless services program to provide homeless
outreach and housing navigation services to individuals experiencing homelessness in Rosemead.
The focus of the program is to connect individuals experiencing homelessness with health services
and housing. Funded by a Measure H grant, the SGVCOG, has contracted with L.A. CADA to
provide these services to cities in the County's Service Planning Area ("SPA") 3, which includes
a cohort of Covina, La Puente, Rosemead, San Gabriel, Monterey Park, Temple City, Arcadia, and
South Pasadena. Services have been provided to the City on Wednesdays for 2-3 hours each week.
The current program term is expected to expire on June 30, 2023; however, the SGVCOG has
informed cities that the program will be continued through next fiscal year, but with the same
limited number of hours for each participating City.
Additionally, on February 28, 2023, the City Council approved the City's HOME -ARP allocation
plan. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("ARP") appropriated $5 billion to communities
across the U.S. to provide for the development of housing, supportive services, and shelter to
individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. These funds were

Firm Qualifications
Type of organization, size, professional registration, and affiliations
Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA) is a nonprofit 501(c)3
behavioral healthcare provider established in 1971 to serve Los Angeles County. Our mission
is to save lives, unite families, and protect the community by providing access to non-
profit, evidence -based behavioral s services that address the needs of vulnerable and
disadvantaged populations. L.A. CADA is a BIPOC-led nonprofit agency (Black, Indigenous,
People of Color) dedicated to equity for and BIPOC leadership by the marginalized
communities we serve. We ground our services in social justice, healthcare equity, and
adherence to CLAS National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services
in Health and Health Care, 1 working to promote cultural humility into all agency services.
L.A. CADA's service system is trauma -informed on every level. As a local agency, we have
expertise in local homeless and frequently related behavioral health issues.
The key to L.A. CADA's homeless services approach is the utilization of non judgmental,
trauma informed, recovery -oriented, and culturally/linguistically-appropriate multi-
disciplinary teams. Our teams include Outreach Workers, Mental Health Clinicians, Case
Managers, and skilled medical personnel. Together, they have the skills needed to engage and
screen homeless individuals, and link them to critical services for targeted and intensive care
coordination. Service linkage for this project will include priority placement in
L.A. CADA's extensive continuum of care: emergency housing beds, transitional housing
beds, supportive services, including linkage to health care, permanent housing, and workforce
development services.
L.A. CADA's broad continuum of evidence -based care for homeless services and alcohol,
drug, and mental health disorders includes:
• 232 state -licensed residential treatment beds;
• 16 state -licensed residential beds for mental health crisis stabilization;
• 244 Recovery Bridge Housing (RBH) beds for the homeless
(including 45 beds in LGBTQ+ Affirming or exclusive programs; 32 beds co -located in the
Los Angeles Mission on Skid Row; and 71 RBH beds in the San Gabriel Valley);
• Over 500 state -certified outpatient slots;
• Jail -based treatment in Men's Central Jail

List of accomplishments for each reference
L.A. CADA has been a part of Los Angeles County's Specialty Substance Use Disorder
Treatment System operated within the Department of Public Health since the mid 1980's. We
are a major provider of L.A. County homeless treatment beds for adults with alcohol, drug,
and mental health disorders, as well as the largest provider of Recovery Bridge Housing (RBH)
for the homeless in Los Angeles County. L.A. CADA is the L.A. County Service Planning
• Area (SPA) 7 provider for Community Engagement and Navigation Services (CENS),
delivering needs assessment and service navigation for local residents, including the
homeless. All L.A. CADA programs work closely with the L.A. County Coordinated Entry
System (CES) for the homeless in the Service Planning Areas (SPAS) that L.A. CADA serves
(SPAs 3; 4; 6; 7; and 8). Our agency is a CES Access Point in SPA 7.
We deliver similar homeless outreach services for the Alhambra Homeless Outreach Mental
Evaluation Team. L.A. CADA outreach workers provide street outreach, needs assessment,
and service navigation for homeless residents of Alhambra, many of whom have behavioral
health issues. The project is part of our agency's 50 -year history in the delivery of services
addressing community homelessness and behavioral health disorders. Our agency has begun
delivery of similar services at the request of the cities of Monrovia, West Covina, Altadena,
the SGVCOG, Hawthorne, San Dimas and Glendora.
As a provider for Alhambra's HOME Team, L.A. CADA has an understanding of homeless
issues and needs in the Los Angeles area. L.A. CADA knows that homelessness rose by 3%
in SPA 7 in 2020 and that the South Bay's unsheltered population is 65% larger than Skid
Row's33. We know that the number of homeless individuals counted in local shelters dropped
by 19% in 2021 as compared to 2020's figures. L.A. CADA understands that there are an
insufficient number of homeless beds in SPA 7. To address the immediate need, L.A. CADA
• opened a 20 -bed emergency shelter in Santa Fe Springs in the summer of 2022. Beds for
homeless people are available in L.A. CADA residential treatment programs, as well as our
Recovery Bridge Housing programs.
Another similar L.A. CADA project that conducts homeless services is the Priority Access
Diversion Program in Long Beach. This project is a collaboration between the Long Beach
City Prosecutor, the Long Beach Department of Public Health, the Los Angeles Public
Defenders Office, and L.A. CADA. Our agency identifies homeless defendants at highest risk
in Long Beach. In lieu of continued criminal prosecution for violations common to the
homeless (loitering, vagrancy, trespassing, possession of controlled substances or
paraphernalia, failures to appear, etc.), L.A. CADA is asked to intervene before or at the time
of arraignment. We offer defendants whole person care with priority placement in our
treatment programs, housing, or both. As this project proceeds in its fourth full year, L.A.
CADA and the City of Long Beach are working to the greatest extent possible to deliver these
services pre -arrest or pre -indictment. All participants are homeless with multiple prior
criminal convictions. L.A. CADA's experience and expertise with homeless persons involved
in the criminal justice system is an innovative asset to Montebello's Services to Supplement
to Existing Homeless Services Program.
As noted, our agency is co -located in many Community Collaborative Courts in L.A. County
to provide referral to treatment for defendants, including those who are homeless. We are also
a part of the L.A. County LEAD Project (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion) in East Los
Angeles -- and soon in Long Beach and Hollywood. LEAD is a community-based diversion
intervention created to improve public safety, reduce unnecessary justice system involvement,
and improve the health and stability of people who participate in the program. LEAD focuses
on providing services to people who are disproportionately in contact with law enforcement,
including homeless people. This population often has unmet behavioral health needs and they
frequently cycle in and out of jail, have multiple contacts with the legal system, and are at
high risk for recidivism. Unfortunately, these are the very people who are typically excluded
or underserved by existing programs and are disproportionately impacted by poverty, racial
disparities in policing, and arrests.
In all of these projects, L.A. CADA has a demonstrated track record for meeting contractual
budgets, scope, and schedules.
Understanding of and approach to the project
L.A. CADA understands that the City of Rosemead's Homeless Outreach & Case Management
Services project requires a comprehensive approach to addressing the complex needs of individuals
experiencing homelessness. Our experience and expertise align with the key elements of the project
scope, including our certification as a substance use and behavioral treatment provider by the State of
California Department of Healthcare Services and the County of Los Angeles Department of Public
Health - Substance Abuse Prevention and Control.
We recognize that homelessness is often linked to underlying issues such as addiction, behavioral
problems, mental illness, and trauma. To address these challenges, we have demonstrated experience
in providing client -centered, trauma -informed, and recovery -oriented services to individuals
experiencing homelessness. Our critical services span a wide continuum of care and treatment,
including outpatient, intensive outpatient, and residential programs.
We are committed to providing supportive services, such as case management, homeless outreach,
substance abuse, housing navigation, and other related counseling services, to support the qualifying
populations as defined by HOME -ARP. Our proactive approach to homeless outreach will include both
a 3 -day per week program and a 5 -day per week program. Additionally, we will provide qualified and
licensed mental health professionals to conduct American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)
assessments and, if necessary, transport individuals to detox or residential treatment based on
assessment outcomes.
We will ensure that our approach to case management services is consistent with the County of Los
Angeles Coordinated Entry System (CES) and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS),
and that all outreach and information provided is maintained on a confidential basis, in accordance
with state and federal laws and regulations.
We are committed to providing the City of Rosemead with weekly reports of engagements and services
provided. Our understanding of the project's scope of work and our approach to addressing its key
elements demonstrate our commitment to effectively assisting the City of Rosemead in accomplishing
its Homeless Outreach & Case Management Services goals.
Clearly address in the RFP response how each element of the Scope of Work will be
accomplished, as well as provide a project schedule
L.A. Centers of Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA) is well-equipped to provide the necessary
services to assist the City of Rosemead in achieving its Homeless Outreach & Case Management
Services goals. Our team is comprised of licensed and certified substance use and behavioral treatment
providers, with a demonstrated history of successfully treating individuals with addiction, behavioral
problems, mental illness, trauma, domestic violence, and homelessness.
Our approach to this project is client -centered, trauma -informed, and recovery -oriented. We will
provide critical services across a wide continuum of care and treatment, including outpatient, intensive
outpatient, and residential programs. Our supportive services will include case management, homeless
outreach, substance abuse treatment, housing navigation, and other related counseling services as
required by HOME -ARP.
To conduct proactive homeless outreach throughout the City of Rosemead, we will provide staffing
and costing for a 3 -day per week program and a 5 -day per week program. We will also provide
qualified, licensed mental health professional staffing to conduct an American Society of Addiction
Medicine (ASAM) assessment. If necessary, individuals may be voluntarily transported to detox or
residential treatment based on assessment outcomes.
To ensure that we can accommodate the needs of the community, we will reserve a certain number of
beds for residential treatment and/or emergency transitional housing dedicated to the City of
Rosemead. We will also provide intensive case management services, including documentation and
homelessness evaluations consistent with the County of Los Angeles Coordinated Entry System (CES)
and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).
Confidentiality is of utmost importance to us, and we will ensure that all outreach and information
provided is maintained on a confidential basis consistent with state and federal laws and regulations.
We will also provide the City with weekly reports of engagements and services provided to ensure
transparency and accountability.
Our project schedule is as follows:
Phase 1: Planning and Preparation (30 days after formal execution of agreement)
• Review RFP and gather necessary information (1 week)
• Develop project plan and timeline (1 week)
• Recruit and hire necessary staff (4 weeks)
Phase 2: Implementation

In conclusion, L.A. CADA is fully committed to assisting the City of Rosemead in accomplishing its
Homeless Outreach & Case Management Services goals. Our experienced team, client -centered
approach, and comprehensive project plan make us well-equipped to provide the necessary services
and achieve the desired outcomes.

transported to detox or residential treatment based on assessment outcomes.
• Dedicate a number of beds to reserve for residential treatment and/or emergency transitional
housing dedicated to the City of Rosemead l
• Intensive case management services to include documentation and homelessness evaluations,
consistent with the County of Los Angeles Coordinated Entry System (CES) and Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS).
Confidentiality of all outreach and information provided, consistent with state and federal laws
and regulations.
Weekly reports of engagements and services provided to the City.
L.A. CADA will work individually with the outreach participants and city staff to learn the
specific needs of the program participants and the areas of focus the city would like to prioritize.
We understand that each city in Los Angeles county that is trying to make an impact in this housing
crisis, has differing resources; as such L.A. CADA will tailor the delivery of proposed
supplemental homeless outreach and services for the needs of the City of Rosemead, working
closely with city staff and to ensure that local needs are fully met and services are not duplicative.
Additionally, L.A. CADA has developed an extensive and comprehensive list of resources available
in SPA 3 as we provide the CENS services to SPA 7. We are aware of a plethora of service providers
and resources that will be useful to the program participants and ensure the success of the program
in SPA 3.
We anticipate the need for urgent linkages to services (specialized case manager, mental health
clinician, and SUD counselor) L.A. CADA staff will work with CBOs on this program and deliver:
Housing Navigation; Case Management; Homeless Prevention/Problem-Solving. L.A. CADA
will also provide Supportive Services (referral to legal services, workforce development, etc.);
Mental Health Support, Health Support; and direct funding resources. L.A. CADA will identify
participant's existing services providers. If one does not exist, the participant will be enrolled into
either L.A. CADA's continuum of care whenever possible, or the most appropriate provider. For
participant's linked to another provider, L.A. CADA will ensure a warm handoff is completed.
Additionally, these participant's will have regular/consistent follow-ups with the outside provider
to ensure client/participants are making progress towards established housing plans and case
management goals. L.A. CADA will provide support as needed to assist in participant's achieving
these plans and goals. For those with an external provider, monthly care coordination with said
provider will be conducted. For participant's enrolled into services, housing plans and case
management goals will be established within no more than two weeks of admission. Subsequently,
all housing plans will be reviewed and re -assessed every 90 days. Participants will have weekly
case management sessions, which will include any and all required housing navigation services.
Priority will be given to medical and mental health needs.
We understand that the successful implementation of this project will require close collaboration with
the City of Rosemead and other community partners. We are committed to attending regularly
scheduled and as -needed coordination and/or staff meetings and/or performance improvement
meetings with the City and other County partners to manage Participants' issues including, but not
limited to, health, behavioral health, substance use disorder, life skills, employment/educational, or
any other issues. We will build and maintain collaborative partnerships with community organizations,
service providers, and public entities to ensure that Participants have access to a comprehensive array
of supportive services.
We have created a project schedule that outlines the timeline for accomplishing the Scope of Work.
We will work closely with the City of Rosemead to ensure that all deadlines are met and that the project
is completed on time and within budget.
Overall costs associated with the project
The cost proposal is to follow the technical proposal. L.A. CADA in the provision of Homeless
Outreach Services operates on a flat rate, not through cost reimbursement.
Indication of information and participation required from City staff
L.A. CADA has a developed working relationship with the city of Rosemead through the Regional
Homeless Services Efforts through SGVCOG. As such, L.A. CADA will continue to work closely with
City staff when necessary to ensure the success of the program. L.A. CADA will always keep an open
line of communication with the City of Rosemead and we expect to meet regularly during program
start up and implementation.
Other information that may be appropriate
L.A. CADA understands that the City of Rosemead seeks providers to deliver services to PEH in
Rosemead that fill gaps within the existing homeless services system. We know that these gaps are:
• Insufficient availability of certain types of beds and interim housing units;
• Mental health and health services;
• Easily accessible supportive services (e.g., legal services, workforce development);
• Easily accessible financial assistance; and
• Insufficient culturally -sensitive resources
Our agency is highly qualified to fill these specific gaps through our continuum of care which
includes:
• Emergency and interim shelter beds;
• a 50 -year local demonstrated track record in delivery of homeless mental health and health services;
• strong experience in service coordination for homeless people, including ancillary supportive
services (and partnerships in place with adult schools, workforce development agencies, legal
services domestic violence services, etc.)
• expertise in homeless case management that includes linkage to benefits and other financial
assistance; and
• A BIPOC-led workforce that reflects the service area demographics and is fully trained in the
delivery of culturally- and linguistically appropriate care.
L.A. CADA also understands that project services must be grounded in best practices for People
Experiencing Homelessness (PEH), including Housing First and Trauma -Informed Care. Both are
core L.A. CADA evidence -based practices (EBP) and all staff are trained in these and other EBPs
following hire.
Disclosure of any potential or existing conflicts of interest with the City of Rosemead or any
individual City Official or member of the City staff
L.A. CADA has no potential or existing conflicts of interest with the City of Rosemead or any
individual City Official or member of the City of Rosemead staff.

INTRODUCTION
John Guess and his wife, Harriet, arrived in the San Gabriel Valley in 1852 in an ox -drawn wagon
from Arkansas. They settled in 1855 on a 100 -acre ranch called Savannah on the site of what is
now Savannah School. Others followed, including Frank Frost and Leonard Rose. Rose purchased
500 to 700 acres to breed and train horses and called his place Rose's Meadow, which was
shortened to Rosemead and gave the city its name. Small truck farms and chicken and rabbit
ranches became popular, and the city incorporated in 1959. The quiet, pastoral lands are now
crowded with businesses, industries, shops and some 53,000 people. Once a lush green pasture
extending from the Los Angeles River east to the Pomona area, Rosemead was indeed a fine place
for early settlers to raise fruits, vegetables, grain, and feed. Today, the city boasts that its goals
include the improvement of quality of life offered in Rosemead in a business -friendly atmosphere
conducive to continued economic growth and prosperity. The city offers a desirable and
affordable community in which to live and a dynamic and expanding business sector that is an
economic growth engine for West Coast commerce.
BACKGROUND
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) appropriated $5 billion to communities across the
U.S. to provide housing, services, and shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness and other
vulnerable populations. These funds were allocated by formula to jurisdictions that qualified for
funding through the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME Program) from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This special round of funding is called
the "HOME -ARP" program. The City was awarded $1,222,084 in HOME -ARP funding.
HOME -ARP funds must be used primarily to benefit individuals or families from the following
qualifying populations and defined as individuals or families who may be:
• Homeless, as defined in section 103(a) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act
(42 U.S.C. 11302(a));
• At -risk of homelessness, as defined in section 401(1) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360(1));
• Fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking,
or human trafficking, as defined by the Secretary;
• In other populations where providing supportive services or assistance under section
212(a) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 12742(a)) would prevent the family's homelessness or would
serve those with the greatest risk of housing instability;
Veterans and families that include a veteran family member that meets one of the preceding
criteria.
