"Ill. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
On September 26, 2002 the Department of Housing and Urban Development approved a
Disposition Application that had been approved by the Housing Authority board on February 25,
2002 to transfer title to three scattered site properties to the County Redevelopment Agency for
use in a HUD funded $400,000 Youthbuild Program project. To expedite the project, the
Redevelopment Agency requests that the Housing Authority to make the title transfer directly to
the CHDC which will carry out the Youthbuild project under their agreement.
Under the administrative direction of RDA, Youthbuild will rebuild or replace vacant and
severely damaged buildings on the three properties to produce affordable homes. Local at risk
youth labor will be trained by Youthbuild and assisted with education, construction training,
leadership development, and supportive services. Upon completion, the homes will be sold to low-
income families as required by HUD.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to adopt Resolution No. 5032 approving the
submission of this request to change the terms of approval of the Disposition Application, the
Housing Authority and the Redevelopment Agency will not be able to carry out the Youthbuild
Project approved funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in a timely
manner.
