TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: August 1, 1989
FROM: Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director cc:
SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR SECTION 8 EXISTING HOUSING CERTIFICATES
OPERATION BOOTSTRAP
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 3564 authorizing submission of an application for
Section 8 Existing Housing Certificates under the Operation Bootstrap Program
and authorizing the Executive Director to submit any additional information in
support of the application which may be required by HUD, as recommended by the
Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has targeted $3,336,429 in
Section 8 Existing Housing Program contract authority of the San Francisco Regional
Office, Region IX, for FY 1989.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On June 14, and June 30, 1989 the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) issued a Notice of Fund Availability for public housing agencies to
participate in Operation Bootstrap. HUD is interested in encouraging communities to
develop and implement innovative programs to enable unemployed or under-employed
members of families to become economically independent through cooperative efforts of
the public and private sectors. Section 8 Existing Housing Certificates will be
awarded to public housing agencies that are selected to participate in the program.
Approximately 3,000 Section 8 Certificates will be made available during Fiscal Year
1989 nationwide for this program. Staff recommends that an application for 100
Section 8 Certificates be submitted to HUD. Applications for Operation Bootstrap
must be submitted to HUD by August 4, 1989.
At its Regular Meeting on July 17, 1989 the Advisory Housing Commission voted to
recommend that the Board of Commissioners adopt Resolution No. 3564 authorizing
submission of an application for additional Section 8 units under the Operation
Bootstrap Program and authorizing the Executive Director to submit any additional
information in support of the application, as required by HUD.

the Housing Authority would be unable to submit an application for Section 8 Existing
Housing Certificates for use in Operation Bootstrap.
