EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The South Napa Shelter serves up to 102 clients on an overnight basis and approximately 20-30 Day Center guests per day. The County contracts with Abode Services Inc. for day to day operations of the shelter and until June 30, 2025 were also contracted with the Salvation Army for provision of meals ($8/meal). For Fiscal Year 2026, the Salvation Army proposed a price per meal increase of 50% ($12/meal). As a result, Department of Housing & Community Services staff reached out to California Human Development Corporation to explore meal service coordination utilizing the county-owned farmworker center commercial kitchens. Today’s discussion provides an update on the proposed meal service coordination with Abode Services, and potential infrastructure upgrades at the centers. No action needed.
