Item/Subject: RESOLVE, Appropriating $25,256 in Greater Penobscot Continuum of Care
Contributions to Fund the Cost of a Personal Services Agreement to Coordinate the Homeless
Continuum of Care Work
Responsible Department: Health & Community Services
Commentary: The Greater Penobscot Continuum of Care (GPCOC) is in the final stages of merging
with the Maine State Continuum of Care. The purpose of this merger is to consolidate the staff intensive
process of competing for annual federal funds used to address homelessness throughout the State. Prior
to the merger, the Penobscot Continuum of Care has the one-time opportunity to collect and organize
housing data for Bangor, supporting work we are attempting to do with homelessness and housing in
Bangor. This is very complex work and requires significant staff attention and time. This information will
be used by several Bangor Departments to support funding requests for CDBG, the Bangor Homeless
Prevention Task Force, and will also be beneficial for the Dorothea Dix Advisory Committee. In addition
to the data collection and organizing, the City's Fair Housing Analysis will also be updated, which is
required by HUD for entitlement communities.
The attached resolve will appropriate contributions from various local agencies made to the City in support of
the Greater Penobscot Continuum of Care to fund this work.
