.,HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: September 16, 1986
�s.
FROM: cc:
Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director
SUBJECT:
AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR CDBG FUNDING OF THE
RENTAL REHABILITATION AND SECOND UNIT PROGRAMS
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of
Contra Costa to submit a $85,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding
application for 1987-88 to conti.nue the Rental Rehabilitation and Second Unit
Programs; and to execute whatever forms are necessary in this endeavor, as
recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The $85,000 to be requested in a CDBG application is necessary to cover the
administration and actual implementation costs of the Rental Rehabilitation and
Second Unit Programs. Under the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Rehabilitation Program there is no allowance to cover administrative or
implementation costs. Without the $85,000 in CDBG funding, the continuation of these
established, successful programs would be jeopardized. It is estimated that the
investment of $85,000 in CDBG funds for 1987-88 will yield $1,030,760 in
rehabilitation and second unit program activity.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
In the past two years the Housing Authority has been successful in obtaining
funding from the Contra Costa County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
to develop and implement countywide Rental Rehabilitation and Second Unit Programs.
These CDBG funds have been leveraged with HUD Rental Rehabilitation and private
sector funds to rehabilitate 158 privately-owned rental units throughout the county.
To date, the Rental Rehabilitation Program has committed $441,917 in funds which, in
turn, has generated $1,145,638 of rehabilitation activity. This program has expanded
the supply of affordable rental housing units available for low income families..
The Second Unit Program is jointly sponsored by the County Community
Development Department, the San Francisco Development Fund and the Housing Authority.

The program, which is named DUO (Double Unit Opportunity) , is locally administered by
the Housing Authority' s Rental Rehabilitation staff. At the present time, the staff
is processing six applications for the Second Unit Program,
Applications for CDBG funding for 1987-88 must be submitted by September 26, .
1986 to the County Community Development Department.
At its Regular Meeting on September 15, 1986, the Advisory Housing Commission
moved to recommend approval of a $85,000 CDBG funding application for 1987-88 to
continue the Rental Rehabilitation and Second Unit Programs.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not approve submission of an
application for $85,000 in Community Development Block Grant Program funds, the Rental
Rehabiltiation and the Second Unit (DUO) Programs would be severely jeopardized and
funding would not be available to administer the Programs. Additionally, the Board
of Commissioners would be adopting a posture contrary to its position of providing
decent, safe 'and sanitary housing for low-income families.
