SUMMARY: Since 1996, the City of Bremerton has acted as a pass-through agent for the Shelter Plus Care
program administered locally by Agape Unlimited. Funded by the McKinney-Vento Act and administered by the
Depardnent of Housing and Urban Development, Shelter Plus Care funds provide rental assistance for homeless
individuals and families affected by mental illness, chemical dependency, or both. Participants receive assistance and
counseling until they reach self sufficiency, which averages about two years.
The City's contract with Agape is renewed annually, as is the City's Shelter + Care contract with HUD. The
City and Agape have received "renewal" status with HUD; therefore the annual application submitted is not
awarded on a competitive basis but rather renewed based on meeting program performance criteria.
ATTACHMENTS: Contract between the City of Bremerton and Agape Unlimited (Exhibit A).
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): Pass-thru funding of $194,676.00 from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development to Agape Unlimited, Project Sponsor.
