BACKGROUND: The Seven Hills Homeless Center has provided services to homeless and needy residents in Fayetteville for over 16 years. Seven Hills is a not for profit organization that has relied almost exclusively on private donations for operational funding during that period. In the 2019 budget, the City Council approved funding for the 2019 fiscal year to maintain the operations of the day center by Seven Hills in the amount of $108,000. Although funding for the center by generous donors has improved, a shortfall still exists. The contractual amount would be paid in monthly disbursements of $9,000 each month beginning in January 2019. Attached is a contract for services with Seven Hills, BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: This contract would be funded by the budget approved for 2019 Attachments: 1.

Whereas, the Board of Directors of Seven Hills has operated a day time facility to serve numerous homeless and needy Fayetteville residents for over 16 years relying upon the support of several local churches, charities and charitable persons, as well as some governmental support (for veterans, etc.); and Whereas, the Fayetteville City Council approved a funding request for the 2019 fiscal year to maintain the operations of the Seven Hills day center. Although funding for the center by donors has improved, a shortfall still exists to continue to offer vital services to Fayetteville's homeless residents; and Whereas, if Seven Hills could no longer operate its Walker Family Residential Community transitional housing facility, currently housed citizens might become homeless again and have to live on the streets or in the woods; and Whereas, if Seven Hills could no longer operate its day time facility, the large number of homeless residents who depend upon this facility for showers and washing, hot food, a warm place to stay during the day, as well as access to a telephone and other job assistance services could not find such comparable services elsewhere; and Whereas, the facilities and services provided by Seven Hills are required to be continued and should continue to be supported by the City in order to prevent our homeless and needy residents from suffering undue hardship and deprivation. NOW, THEREFORE, The City of Fayetteville and the Board of Directors of Seven Hills Homeless Center agree as follows: The term of this contract shall be January 1, 2019 until December 31, 2019 unless ended earlier by the City for failure of Seven Hills to comply with all provisions and requirements of this contract. 2.

Seven Hills agrees to continue to offer all programs and services to these Fayetteville transitional housing tenants as it has normally been providing in the past. 4. Seven Hills Homeless Center further agrees to make diligent efforts to regain its financial footing by increasing its revenues and/or reducing its expenses so Seven Hills Homeless Center can once again pay all of its own bills and will not need further financial support from the City of Fayetteville. 5. Seven Hills Homeless Center further agrees to make a report to the Mayor on its financial status on a monthly basis. Seven Hills also agrees to present any other report as requested by the Mayor or City Council. 6. The City of Fayetteville agrees to pay the sum of NINE THOUSAND ($9,000.00) on the first Wednesday of each month beginning in January while this contract is effective as long as the Finance Director and the City Administration are satisfied that Seven Hills is satisfactorily complying with all terms and conditions of this contract.
