BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PUEBLO that:
SECTION 1.
The City Council hereby makes the following findings of fact:
Hunger and Food Insecurity
According to the Colorado Health Institute, Pueblo County reported the highest rate
of food insecurity in the state, with nearly one in five Pueblo residents experiencing
food insecurity in 2019 (19.1%). During the COVID-19 pandemic, access to food for
City residents has become even more problematic.
Co-Responder Program
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, substance abuse issues, overdoses and
suicide rates have increased in the City, making the co-responder program even more
essential to our community and individuals in need of mental health services. The Pueblo
Police Department (“PPD”) for Fiscal Year 19-20 reported the average time on calls
for officers without a Co-Response clinician was 90 minutes for behavioral health
related calls. PPD's average time on call when paired with a Co-Response clinician
was reduced to 30 minutes.
Eviction Prevention and Diversion
Under the Interim Final Rule Sec. 35.6, the City may use CLFR Funds for “legal aid such
as legal services or attorney’s fees related to eviction proceedings and maintaining
housing stability, court-based eviction prevention or eviction diversion programs, and
other legal services that help households maintain or obtain housing.” See CLFRF
Frequently Asked Questions No. 2.21.
SECTION 2.
The Subrecipient Agreements (“Agreements”) between and the City of Pueblo, a
Colorado municipal corporation and the following five Colorado nonprofit corporations,
dated September 13, 2021, attached hereto, having been approved as to form by the City
Attorney, are hereby approved:

No. CI2113 – American Rescue Plan Act, for purposes of funding the seven projects
described in the Agreements.
SECTION 5.
The officers and staff of the City are authorized to perform any and all acts
consistent with this Ordinance and the attached Agreements to implement the policies
and procedures described herein.
SECTION 6.
Savings Clause: The COVID-19 pandemic has previously been declared an
emergency disaster by the Mayor, the Governor of Colorado and the President of the
United States. Recently, the number of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths
has been on the rise in Pueblo County, due primarily the “Delta” variant of the disease
migrating to Pueblo County. The immediate enactment of this Ordinance is necessary in
order to preserve and protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City.
Pursuant to Sec. 3-20 of the City Charter, this Ordinance shall become effective on the date

SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. Principal Tasks
The Subrecipient will be responsible for administering the Project for individuals from disproportionately
impacted populations who are experiencing behavioral health problems as a result of substance abuse,
loss of employment and homelessness exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Subrecipient will
administer all tasks encompassed in the aforesaid Project in compliance with all applicable federal, state
and local rules and regulations governing the Project, in a manner satisfactory to the City. The
components of the Subrecipient's efforts under this Agreement will be as follows:
1. During the term of this Agreement, Subrecipient shall employ 5 licensed mental health
clinicians and 1 case manager to provide Co-Responder services to the Pueblo Police Department
("PPD"). Subrecipient, in cooperation with the PPD, shall pair law enforcement and behavioral health
specialists to respond to behavioral health related calls for the Pueblo Police Department. The
co response clinicians shall ride in a patrol officer's car and assist with prioritizing responses to
individuals struggling with behavioral health problems. Subrecipient's clinicians shall assist the
officer in de-escalating encounters with troubled individuals and help link individuals with behavioral
health issues to connect with appropriate services.
2. Subrecipient's performance under this Agreement will be measured by the following
data-driven criteria:
a. decrease in arrests and injury rates for individuals in crisis;
b. decrease in incarcerations of persons with behavioral problems;
c. get at-risk individuals the treatment needed and allow law enforcement to spend
less time on behavioral health concerns in order to return to patrol.
3. All of Subrecipient's staff shall be trained in Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI),
focusing on de-escalation techniques as a method of prevention. The clinicians must also complete
the 20-week police academy with the police cadets within a few months of starting their position to
become better familiarized with officer culture to allow them to work seamlessly with officers.
4. During the term of this Agreement, each co-response clinician shall be required to
enter contacts with data points associated with length of time on call, reason for the call and
disposition of call as well as a summary of what happened on the call. Each month the data will be
reviewed by the Subrecipient and the PPD to calculate dispositions, length of time, and a review of
contacts to continue progress with decreasing the percentage of contacts that result in incarceration,
decrease average officer time on call, and decrease number of repeat calls to PD by individuals
connected with the co-response program. The follow up services and engagement into appropriate

SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. Principal Tasks
The Subrecipient will be responsible for administering the Project for homeless, low-income
individuals, who are experiencing housing insecurity. The Subrecipient will administer all tasks
encompassed in the aforesaid Project in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local
rules and regulations governing the Project, in a manner satisfactory to the City.
The components of the Subrecipient's work plan under this Agreement shall be as follows:
1. Subrecipient shall administer the Eviction Prevention and Diversion Project
in collaboration with the Pueblo County Bar Association, the Pueblo Access to Justice
Committee, the Pueblo County Department of Social Services, the Local Landlord
Association and Emergency Rental Assistance Programs to help low-income tenants, at
risk of eviction, by providing accurate and timely legal information and education,
emergency rental assistance applications, and by providing other legal assistance
necessary to maintain a low income person's or family's housing stability. The
Subrecipient will employ a dedicated full-time housing attorney who will provide outreach,
legal information and education, assistance and representation to low-income residents
in the City and County of Pueblo at risk of losing their housing. The Project attorney will
coordinate with the Southern Colorado Eviction Defense Legal Fund (ELDF) attorney
and paralegal and will utilize the services of pro bono attorneys to ensure that staffing
for the project is available.
2. During the term of this Agreement, Subrecipient shall focus on community outreach
informing agencies and the public of the resources as well as a focus on early intervention
assisting tenants before an entry of judgement is made by the court. The Project attorney
and a paralegal will be responsible for establishing outreach partnerships with Pueblo County
social service agencies and other public and non-profit agencies. The Project attorney and
the current housing paralegal will develop outreach materials and referral information for
residents in Pueblo who are at risk of losing their housing. To ensure that information about
the Project is available to as many landlords and renters as possible, the local landlord
association will be an essential part of the Project work. Individuals will be encouraged to
contact the Subrecipient if they are at risk of eviction or if they have received any legal papers
(notices or pleadings) concerning an eviction. All applicants must be determined to be
financially eligible before the applicant can receive any assistance. As part of the intake
process, applicants shall be asked to provide information about their current income, the
income of other members of the household, if that income is likely to change in the future,
and the source of all income. Applicants must also disclose their assets including real estate
(other than the home the applicant is living in), vehicles, personal property, bank account
balances, income on hand, and funds in other types of accounts such as CD's. Subrecipient
shall not require applicants to provide documentation of the income and assets disclosed in
the intake application unless there is an identified concern or reason to do so. Requiring such
disclosures would significantly delay the application process and most applicants have urgent
time sensitive legal needs that cannot be delayed without harm to the applicant. Furthermore,
8
such an inquiry and request for documentation impedes establishing a trusting, open and
professional attorney and client relationship that is required for effective legal representation.
3. Subrecipient's project staff shall have office space at the Dennis Maes Pueblo
County Judicial Building (hereinafter"Courthouse") and shall screen individuals who may be
eligible for Subrecipient's services and provide legal information and advice to eligible clients.
The project attorney and paralegal will work at the Courthouse with the support and
partnership of a caseworker from the Pueblo Department of Social Services who will also be
present for the Pueblo County Court's eviction docket that is held weekly. The legal
assistance from the Eviction Prevention and Diversion Project will range from individualized
legal advice through full representation in court proceedings. When such legal representation
involves court filings to challenge an eviction, the Project attorney will prepare the court
documents for the client, negotiate agreements and stipulations on behalf of the client, and/or
represent the tenants in court hearings and in trials. Additionally, the Project attorney will be
able to facilitate discussions and communications between the landlord or the landlord's
attorney and the tenants facing eviction. This will benefit those landlords and/or their
attorneys by creating a more efficient negotiation process that will result in successful
settlements thereby benefiting all the parties.
4. The Project attorney and the Project paralegal shall work closely with the Pueblo
County Department of Social Services to coordinate social service referrals for Subrecipient's
clients in need of additional resources at the time the client receives a notice of eviction. Early
and integrated community services for the prevention of eviction and homelessness will be
the focus of the Project partnerships. The DSS staff will provide timely information and access
to eligible tenants for government programs that help cover the cost of necessities and help
navigate the application process for rental assistance. DSS staff on site and working with the
Project attorney and paralegal will result in a more efficient and streamlined process for
individuals and their families. The Eviction Prevention and Diversion Project will provide low
income and vulnerable tenants with the legal information, education, legal services and social
services needed to help them avoid eviction and housing instability. The Project 's focus on
outreach, early intervention and legal services will benefit landlords and mitigate the negative
economic consequences for both parties.
5. Subrecipient is hereby issued funding for one housing attorney who will work
with other Subrecipient housing staff over a three-year period. The Project attorney will
provide legal services (legal advice, education and information, brief services or extended
services) to approximately 200 individuals at risk of eviction each year.
6. Subrecipient's performance under this Agreement will be measured by the
following data-driven criteria:
6.1 Prevent eviction and reduce homelessness;
6.2 Improve eviction prevention service delivery;
6.3 Resolve cases before a judgment of eviction (Writ of Restitutio) is entered;
6.4 Reduce the processing time and errors in applications for Emergency Rental
Assistance, thus shortening delays in receiving Emergency Rental Assistance;
6.5 Coordinate early access to additional public benefits and appropriate
community social service;
9
6.6 Number of clients screened and eligible for services;
6.7 Type of legal services provided to clients;.
6.8 Client satisfaction surveys;
6.9 Number of clients referred to DSS;

Restitution);

6.14 Number of outreach and legal information and education programs provided

satisfaction with programs;
6.15 Participation by local partners and pro bono attorneys.

Budget set forth herein. Substandard performance shall mean non-compliance with this
